THE WINTER’S OUTLOOK. It Will Be as Interesting Soctally as Other Seasons—The Official Circle Will Not En- tertain Extensively, but Hospitalities Will Be General—The Debutantes. By next week official society will again com- mence its rounds of social visit and for the Present informal entertaining. already advanced in Tax Stax’s columns that the winter will not be any less interesting than usual has been strengthened by talks with many Persons weil qualified to judge. The official circle, with very good taste and excellent judg- ment, will not take the prominent part that they have the past two years, but atthe same time nothing like « drawal is ex- pected. The whirligig of political fortunes makes too rapid changes for ary of those who feel the defeat this time to emphasize it in any way by not doing as much the last months of their official lives to entertain the multitude as hey had done heretofore. None of those, in ho have been marked in extending hos- italities will doany less the coming season. is rather comfortable and thoroughly Wash- ington view of the situation has been gleaned from a concensus of opinion and not from any individual of @ peculiarly sanguine tempera- ment. Therefore we shall see next week and the coming weeks of December the ladies of the cabinet and ‘the ladies of the senatorial circle, some of whom may not be with us next winter, making the exchange of calls which social eti- quette demands of them with precisely the same prompt courtesy as they have always exercised toward each other irrespective of the political affiliations of their husbands. It is not likely, however, that the cabinet ladies will receive even informaily on the Wednesdays in this month. Some of them, however, who will be entertain- ing by dinners, &c., will always be found at home on that afternoon, but none will feel any obligation, as they will in January, to receive on their regular day. Senators’ wives as a rule will be at home to callers, but very informally, on all the Thurs- Many of them will receive until after § o'clock. but the major- f those who receive callers at all will be found ready to do so during the entire after- | noon. | ‘The season starts in earlier then ever this winter. The invitations now abroad are prom- ining great thi ‘The debutante parties are | particularly early, following the eustom in | other large cities, so that the buds may loze | nothing on account of not being siyrted early | enough. It is avery nice arfangement any- | ‘and suits well all around. Miss May Tarr, the pretty and young sister- in-law of Senator Kenna, will be married on the 19th of this month to Mr. Wm. E. Chilton of | Charleston, W.Va. Miss Tarr is extremely | greatly admired in society, and would have been an event of un- usual prominence in the senatorial circle had | not the illness of Senator Kenna made it im- | possible for the family to carry out their orig- | Inel plans in regard to it. Now that the Senator is steadily improving every day there is no need to postpone the marriage. Only the relations e contracting parties will be present, how- ever, and the event will be as quiet us it is pos- | sible to make such a joyous occasion, upon which both sides of the house will look with so leasure. The ceremony will take place at the residence of Senator and Mrs. which the bride-elect has made her home also. uilton is Senator Kenna’s law partner ja oung man, but already of brilliant achievements in his profession. It is his brother, Dr. Chilton, who hus been here sev- eral times lately in consultation with Senator Kenna’s other physician. The bride that he ll carry to their home in Charleston, W. Va., is not only attractive in looks, but even more so in disposition, and is well versed 1m all that | goes to make an accomplished woman. The ladies in the Supreme Court circle were nearly all at home to callers last Monday and expect to observe that day right through the season. In all probability there will be two debutantes in the court circle, Miss Katherine Fuller and Miss Brewer, the second daughter of Justice and Mrs. Brewer. Miss Fuller is the third of the daughters of the Chief Justice and Mrs. Fuller, and a bright and interesting young lady, resembling very much Mrs. Hugh Wallace, her married sister. ‘The Chief Justice and Mrs. Fuller have their daughters, Mrs. Manning and Mrs. Aubrev, with her pretty little children, staying with | them at present. Mrs. Manning has not been very well Intely, but is commencing to improve rapidly. Miss Maud Fuller is visiting her sister, Mrs. Brown, in Chicago. The French and German legations are close neighbors this winter. Both M. Patenotre and Dr. Von Holleben returned last week. ‘The negotiations for the exchange of the German legation property for the present site, 1425 Massachusetts avenue, were conducted so quietly that the announcement in Tue STAR created quite a stir among persons interested in diplomatic movements. The French minister and the Vice President are probably as tired, as everybody else ig, of reading the story of the re] ter’s residence on Rhode [gland avenue for the Jegation. At all events. neither that nor any other house is talked of in that connection at present, nor will it be necessary to do ¢o until the French government decides whether or not it will in- Vest in a Washington home.

The prince is rather more of a student than & society man, and, therefore, he is not quite as overwhelmed with the importance of attend- ing all the social occasions to which he is invited as he is to thoroughly studying the other striking features of Baltimore life.

PROSPECTS FOR THE SESSION—BILLA NOW ON THE CALEXDARS—CHANCES OF THEIR COX- SIDERATION—MEASURES BEFORE THE COMMIT- ‘TEES—XEW BILLS To COME UP. A determined effort will be made at the ap- proaching session of Congress bythe mem- bers of the District committees of both the Senate and House, as well as by the many inter ested citizens of, Washington not members of Congrese, to have the more important affairs of the District whjeh demand congressional action receive consideration and be brought to a vote. The task will not be an easy one, however, as many obstacles will appear which will tend to delay and perhaps dofeat their desiren. In the Senate there should be little trouble in obtaining such legislation as is necessary, but the great difficulty will be met with at the other end of the Capitol. The very nature of the rules of that body makes ita hard matter to obtain the consideration of a measure there except on District day. Owing to the many measures of a general character which their promoters think must receive attention it is auite probable that an attempt will be made to rob the District of even this amount of time. ‘The short duration of the session will also have ite effect. There are s great many important District bills now pending before this Congress and a number of others will un- doubtedly be introduced. The District bills barre last session afforded. considerable re- ief, but there still remain on the calendars of the'Senate and House and on the calendars of the Distriat committees of these two bodies FO} legislation of urgent nature. Pithe sincere interest of Senator MeMillan and Representative Hemphill, chairmen of the two District committees, in the welfare of the Dis- trict was well demonstrated by their earnest endeavors of last session, and it is well known that at the coming session of Congress they will leave nothing undone which would tend to ad vance the general prosperity of the national capital. They are both active and influential members of their respective branches of Con- gress and their efforts will be weighty. Though the main difficulties in obtaining favorable legislation will be encountered in the House, it is believed that Speaker Crisp is more than friendly to the interests of the capital city, and his aid will materially advance the prospects for the desired legislation. ‘The calendars of the Senate and House are comparatively well cleared of bills, but the committees will have to be unusually diligent in order to accomplish the work which has been | mapped out for them. ON THE SENATE. CALENDAR. The District bills which are now .on the Sen- ate calendar, which have been passed over without prejudice and can consequently be called up at any time, are aa follows: 120 extend North Capitol utreet to the Soldiers ome. ‘To incorporate the Washington, Fairfax and | Alexandriw Railway Company. Regulating ihe sale of distilied and fermented liquors in the District of Columbia. o provide an all-night street car service for the District of Columbia. To prevent the sale or delivery of ice within the District of Columbia on the Sabbath day, commonly known as Sunday. To amend an act entitled ‘‘An act to incor. orate the Washington and Weste: faryland ilroad Company. To authorize the roadl Company of road into and within the District of Columbia, and for other purposes. ‘There are also on the Senate calendar the fol- lowing bills which have been favorably re- ported: House act regulating the delivery and sale of ice within the District of Columbia on the Sab- day, commonly know as Sunday. For the relief of Danie! Donovan. Authorizing the Commissioners of the Dis. trict of Columbia to refuse applications for water connections in certain cases. Relating to acknowledgments of instruments affecting real estate within the District of Co- Jumbia. ‘To incorporate the East Washington Cross- town Railway Company of the District of Co- lumbia, To establish a free public and de library and reading room. To incorporate the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral foundation of the District of Co- lumbia, ‘To amend the charter of the Washington and Arlington Railroad Company. A bill to amend an act entitled “An act authorizing the sale of title of the United States in Jot 3 in square south of square 990,” approved March 3, 1891. or these measures that to authorize the Nor- folk and Western road to extend its lines within the District is now hanging fire in the House, and itis not likely that the Senate will take further action upon it until thre bill ré consideration there. The difficulty with th Dill to extend North Capitol street to the Soldiers’ Home ts that it runs through Prospect Hill cemetery and \derable opposition has been made to it on this account, “it will hardly become a law this session, The bill fixing a $500 license on the sale of distilled and fermented liquors in the District will stand an excellent chance of getting throngh the Senate, but will have a hard strug- gle in the House, and itis thought that it can hardly get through that body. An unusual effort willbe made, however, to obtain some kindof liquor legislation this session, as the decision in the Nau case, the action of the district attorney jorfolk and Western Rail- partmental upon the Dumont information and the recent | decision concerning the police regulations affecting the liquor traffic leave the District impotent to punish and restrain the unlicensed sale of liquor. bill is now amended so that the roads shall be compelled to start their last cars from each ter- minus at lo'clock a.m. It is thought that when the bili again comes up it will be amended so as to require an all night ser- | vice and that in this form it will become a law. The bill to prevent the delivery of ice in the District on Sunday passed the House and would have become a law had not the ice companies in the meanwhile formed a trust and d among themselves that no ice shouid be deliv- ered on the Sabbath. ‘The bill is not likely to be taken up at this session. The bill granting the Commissionors power to refuse application for water connection under certain circumstances will, it is thought, pass the Senate without objection. ‘The bill relating to the acknowledgment of instruments affecting the real estate in the District is quite a necessary piece of legislation, and favorabl action is likely to sesult Little objection been made ta the measure to incorporate th East Washington Crosstown Railroud Com- pany, and its chances for favorable considern- tion are good. The bill to establish a free pub- lic and departmental library and reading room, which is indorsed by Librarian Spofford and many influential citizens of Washington, is an- other measure that is likely to pass. It is not thought that any objection will be made to the bill to incorporate the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral foundation, ‘The remaining bills on the Senate calendar will not, it is said, have an unobstructed pas sage. ON THE MOUSE CALENDAR. The District business on the House calendar was almost cleared at the last session. The most important bill left on the calendar to acted on at this session is that to permit Norfolk and Western railroad to enter the city, ‘a bill which the Pennsylvania railroad 5 ceeded in defeating last by stering tactic. There are only six other District bills on the House calendar. They are: A bill for the erection of a reformatory and house of detention for women arrested for crime or misdemeanor in the District of Columbia. . North Capitol street to A bill to extend Soldiers’ Hor A bill to amend the Revised Statutes of tha — relating to the conveyance of real estate.

The most important measures which will come before the District committees this ses-| sion will be the bills defining the routes of the Baltimore and Ohio and Baltimore and Poto- | mac railroads within the city limits. The bills | relating to thi¢ matter which are now before | the committee are not the ones which the com: mitteo will be called to pasa judgment upon, as | since the close of the last session the plans of | both roads has changed, as heretofore | ublished in Tuz Stax, and new ' measures will Wwe to be prepared. Another bill, which is of equal importance and over which there is likely to be considerable of a fight, is that providing a plan for the ex- tension of the streets and avenues of the city. The bill is now in conference and will be called | up in the early days of the session. The agreed upon by the conferees, who arc Messrs, | is, McMillan and Perkins, on the part of | the Senate, and Mesure. Hemphill, Heard and Post, on the part of the House, has already ap- in the columns of Tue Star. | An effort will be made to obtain some legis- | lation to amend the laws relating to land titles | in the District, as they are now in a very un- satisfactory state, and it is sincerely hoped that Senator Hansbrough’s bill providing a penalty for those who do not clean their pavements of snow and ice will be favorably acted upon be- fore the callers make their rounds on New Year's day. Among the bills which have passed the Senate and are now in the House are those to prevent the desecration of graves; to incorporate the eclectic medical society; to regulate the prac- tice of medicine in the District; to enlarge tht privileges of married women in refer- ence to business matters; for the erection | bf a flower market; to incorporate the Masonic Relief Association; for the salo of the George- | town engine house property: to regulate | | licenses and provide a penalty for those who | | curry on business without them, and the bill making Saturday a half holiday for banks and brokers. ‘The fate of these bills depends entirely upon the amount of time which the House will afford to District pected that among the new bil Congress will be one providing for the arching of Rock creek within the present city limita, THE SENATE DISTRICT COMMITTEE. The first meeting of the Senate committee | will be held next Friday morning. December 9. There are at present on the calendar of the Senate District committee fifty-eight bills and | three Senate resolutions. Among the more im- portant of these are the following: Toestablish a hospital and home for ine- briates and dipsomaniacs in the District To provide a building site for the national conservatory of music of America. ‘To incorporate the Washington and Benning Street Railway Company. ‘To establish an insurance bureau for the pro- j tection of public interests in the District of | } Columbia.

At the present time there are two bills pending before Congress which provide for increasing the | working capacity of the District courts.
