The First State Dinner of the Season at the White House. A DISTINGUISHED GATHERING Pleasant Receptions of the Cabinet Ladies Yesterday. VARIOUS ENTERTAINMENTS President and Mrs. Cleveland entertained the cabinet last night at the first state dinner of the season. The company that made the brilliant gathering around their board was one well acquainted with each other, and of men and women whose names are well and widely known the country over. The White House was in gala dress for the event. The east room was decked with plants and flowers wherever it was possible to place them and the effect was very pleasing. In the estate dining room, the window recesses and mantels were banked with palms and the blooms of scar- let poinsetta. The table decorations were green and white, so far as the flowers went, and vivid scarlet shades were over the candles. Circular plats of green orchids were down the center of the board and across the end pieces. The forty-eight cov- ers ‘aid stretched the table in the shape of @ great, big I. The absence of the glittering array of wine and champagne glasses at Mrs. Cleveland's place showed that her sentiments on that question have known no change. There were’ corsage bouquets for the ladies, made of a few orchids and @ spray of asparagus, and one blossom of the same flower formed the boutonnieres. A few minutes after the last guests had arrived, Secretary and Mrs. Gresham hav- ing been detained, and thereby earning that distinction, the signal was given to the band and in i that effectually drowned all conversation, the President, escorting Mrs. Stevenson, led the way down the corridor to the state din- ing room. The other guests were: Secre- tary of State and Mrs. Gresham, Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs. Carlisle, Secre- tary of War and Mrs. Lamont, the Attor- ney General and Mrs. Olney, Postmaster General and Mrs. Bissell, Secretary of the Navy and Miss Herbert, Secretary of the Interior and Mrs. Hoke Smith, retary of Agriculture and Miss Morton, the Speak- er of the House and Mrs. and Miss Voorhees, Senator and Mrs. Gorman, Senator and Mrs. Mills, Senator and Mrs.’ Jones of Arkansas, Rep- resentative and Mrs. William L. Wilson, Gen. and Mrs. Schofield, Admiral Gher- ardi, Mrs. Henry ‘Thurber, Gov. and Mrs. Pattison of Pennsylvania, Mr. and Mrs. john E. Russell of Massachusetts, Miss Thomas of Boston, Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Goodyear of Buffalo, N. ¥.; Mr. C. C. Baldwin and Miss Baldwin of New York, Mr. James Stillman and Miss Stillman of New York. ‘The last couple in the long procession was Mrs. Cleveland and the Vice President. There were some elegant gowns worn, and nearly all were donned for the iirst time. Mrs. Cleveland's dress was of a pink- ish mauve moire antique. The low-necked bodice was becomingly trimmed with a nar- row edge of sable, and in the soft lace in the corsage some beautiful diamond orna- ments gleamed. A string of diamnonds was worn as a bandeaux in her ha‘r. Mrs. Stevenson wore @ beautiful dress of pale blue brocade. The skirt was opened in front to show a petticoat of pearl and gold beaded net. A border of ermine edged the skirt down the front ani around the train and also trimmed the waist. Mrs. Carlisle wore silver gray satin; Mrs, Lamont, white moire and sable; Mrs. Olney, black velvet and thread lace; Mrs. Bissell, light blue brocade, with butterfly trimming over the short sleeves of brocade’ rose tulle; Miss Herbert, white moire and ermine trimming; Mrs. Smith, white moire antique and duchess lace; Miss Morton, black -satin: Mrs. Crisp, black silk and thread lace; Miss Voorhees, pale blue moire and lace; Mrs. Gorman, yellow moire antique, with sleeves of black velvet and trimming of sable; Mrs. Mills, black satin and orange brocad2; Mrs. Schofield, white moire antique, with sleeves Crisp, Senator Harris, Senator of blue velvet; Mrs. Thurber, white silk and jet; Mrs. Russell, gray brocadei velvet; Miss Thomas, black and white striped satin and thread lace; Mrs. year, white moire; Miss Baldwin,.pale blue satin, Miss Stillman, white moire, and Mrs. Jones, white crepe and silk. Miss Herbert, daughter of the Secretary of the Navy, entertained at breakfast today at 12:30 Mrs. Cleveland, and in the compa- ny gathered about the beautifully decorated table were Mrs. Stevenson, Mrs. Gresham, Mrs. Carlisle, Mrs. Lamont, Mrs. Bissell, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Oiney, Miss Morton, Lady Pauncefote, Mrs. Brice, Mrs. Hurriet Lane Jchnston, Miss Mildred Lee, Mrs. J. M. L. Curry, Mrs. Benj. Micou, sr.. of Alabama, and Miss Edith Buell of Alabama. The table was decorated in scarlet and green. In the center, on a round silver Plateau, was a tall, old-fashioned silver pitcher that was filled with superb Ameri- can beauty roses. Two rings of maidenhair fern decked the ends of the table and the green tapers in the elegant candelabras Were capped with scarlet tulle shades. When the ices came on they were in the shape of American beauty roses, with a real rose tied together with ribbons of the same shade. During the breakfast the Marine Band, stationed in the conservatory out from the parlor, played a charming selection of bright, sparkling music. Miss Mabel Stewart, daughter of the Sena- tor from Nevada, entertained at a pretty luncheon today, a number of young ladies. it was a pink luncheon. Down the center of the cloth a scarf of point lace was laid over pink satin, the tapers and shades were pink, and on the name-cards, tied prettily with ribbons, was a single specimen Ameri- can beauty rose. The guests were Miss Pauncefote, Baron- ess von Saurma, Miss Hoff, Miss McLani kan, Miss Sherman, Miss Scott, Miss Bell Harrington, Miss Conkling of New York Miss Duncan of Kentucky and Miss Bessie Stewart. Miss Hopkins gave another of the lunch- eons of the day. Lieut.

Mrs. and the Misses Brice were also re- ceiving, and Corcoran house was, of course, the rendezvous of many of their friends, Mrs. and the Misses Gorman were hold- ing their first formal reception of the win- ter, and pleasantly entertained a number of callers. Miss Norris assisted the young ladies in the dining room. Mrs. Sherman had a delightful reception, assisted by Miss Sherman,Mrs. Ross Thomp- son, Miss Sherman of California and Miss Miles.

One of the features of a dance given last evening at Mrs. Dyer’s hall indicates a method by which each guest at such an af- fair may possess a memento of it which is worth preserving. The dance was given to the lady members by the gentlemen of the Walking Club, which during the last two spring seasons has taken weekly pedestrian trips through the beautiful suburbs of Washington. It happens that the member- ship includes half a dozen or more of the artists resident in the city, and each guest at the dance was presented with a pro- gram artistically decorated in color, many of the designs recalling laughable or other- wise memorable incidents in’ the history of the club's excursions.

His Explanati to the Secretary of State of the Effect of the Rules Adopted—Delay in Action. Mr. Patrick Egan, late United States min- re ed | ster to Chile, has made a statement in re- gard to the failure to secure an extension of the life of the United States-Chilean claims commission, in which he says: “When I negotiated this claims treaty with Chile, under the direction of Mr. Bec- retary Foster, in July, 1892, the total num- ber of claims on file at the legation in San- tlago was about thirty, of which I estimated that not more than twenty were likely to come before the arbitration commission. “Having those facts in mind, and being urged by the Chilean minister of foreign relations to accept as short time as pos- sible in order to save expense to both gov- ernments, I consented to the term of six months for the examination and decision of the several claims, which term, under the then circumstances, if properly utilised, would have been amply sufficient. “Only about the estimated number of the claims of which I then had knowledge have been actually filed before the commission, but a number of other claims which were on file in the Department of State in Wash- | gold, ington were brought forward, bringing the total number of United States claims placed before the commission up to thirty-nine, while those filed on behalf of Chileans against our government number only three. The Commiasion’s Rules. “When the commission met on August 7 last for the adoption of rules to govern ite proceedings it discussed the question of the time fixed for the decision of the cases, and unanimously agreed that, in view of the estimated number of cases that were to come before it, the period of six months would not be sufficient, and the Chilean minister in Washington, who ig also the Chilean member of the arbitra- tion commission, as also the counsel and agent for Chile, undertook to recommend to their government an extension of the time fixed from six .months to twelve months, for which they said there would be no difficulty in arranging. “Upon the strength of those promises on the part of the Chilean representatives, a series of rules were adopted, the provisions of which, in the matter of time, consider- ing that the life of the treaty was only six months from its first meeting for business, were, to say the least, somewhat remark- able. For instance, the commission named October 9 as the date of its first meeting for business, and the rules provided that claims could be filed any time before De- cember 9; the responding government was allowed thirty days to answer; then the claimant was allowed ninety days to com- plete his proofs; and after the completion of the claimai Proofs the respond- ing government was allowed ninety days to complete its testimony in defense. So that, assuming a case tu be filed on De- cember 8, in accordance with the rules, and the full specified times to be consumed on both sides, it could not come up for de- cision before August 5 next, whereas the treaty, as it then stood, and as it still stands, will expire by limitation on April 9. Judge Shields’ Protest. “I do not know who may be held ac- countable for this flasco, but I believe I am correct in stating that Judge Shields, who ‘was appointed by the Harrison administra- tion as counsel and law agent to repre- sent the United States before the commis- sion, entered upon the minutes of the com- mission proceedings his solemn protest against the adoption of those rules. “Those time rules have been somewhat modified—the thirty days given the re- sponding government to file its answer being reduced to fifteen days, and the nine- ty days given. to each side to complete its proofs being reduced to seventy-five days; but this does not in the least help the un- fortunate claimant who only filed his claim on the last days, say from the lst to the Sth of December, and who may require to take his full time to complete his proofs. “Very soon after my return from Chile, in August last, I made a visit to pay my respects to Mr. Secretary Gresham, at the Department of State, and I took advantage of the opportunity to call his special atten- tion to the fact that the rules adopted by the commission provided terms for filing answers, completing evidence, etc., which would run away beyond the life of the treaty, and that would make it ble that all the cases could be decided without an extension of the time named. Many of the claimants, also, I understand, called the attention of the Department of State to this matter, but without effect. Subsequently, at the first business meeting of the com- mission, on October 9, a resolution was unanimously passed setting forth that in the opinion of the commission the term of six months named in the treaty for the exam- ination and decision of the several cases was not sufficient, and recommending to the two governments an extension of the term from six months to twelve months. This resolution was duly forwarded the same day to the Secretary of State, signed by the Swiss, the Chilean and the United States commissioners, by the Chilean and United and by the Chilean and States counsel, SIX POINTS, out of many, where Doctor Pierce's Pellets Qi Eke 7 a a smallest, and easiest to take— little, sugar coated granules that every child takes readily. 2.

United States secretaries of the commission, but it, too, received a cold shoulder. State Department Delay. “I believe I am correct in saying that the feceipt of the communication from the com- mission conveying the resolution has never even been acknowledged by the Secretary of State, and it was only in the month of December, when the Chilean congress was about to adjourn and when there was no time left for negotiation, that our govern- ment, under renewed pressure from a num- ber of the claimants, made a tardy request for the necessary and the exten- sion of time, “Two or three months ago Chile was quite ady to agree to the extension; in fact she felt honorably committed to it, because it was in consideration of the promise of ex- that her representatives obtained the adoption of the time rules I have men- tioned, but now, finding the government of the United States apparently apathetic in the matter, she refuses her consent, and it seems as ff an attempt is about to be made certain quarters to saddle the respon- sibility upon the administration. ‘With a full knowledge of all the facts, I think the claimants before the commission and the American people will have no diffi- culty in placing upon the right shoulders the responsibility for any miscarriage of yar, Egan, upsa being asked what he > Uy wi con- sidered could ave been the reason for the course which he had described on the part of the Secretary of State, replied that h id not care to discuss the Secretary's mo- tives, gon moment later he said that the treaty ing a Harrison one he supposed the present administration considers that on eral principles it ought to be killed off that the amount of ible. He actually filed before the commission on the part of American citizens against the is about $20,000,000 and that nearly all the claimants are supporters of the'democratic party. Republicans Win at Salt Lake. ‘The election at Salt Lake, Utah, yester- day for a member of the legislature to fill @ vacancy caused by death resulted in a surprising victory for the republicans. Out of 6,000 votes cast the republicans have a jority of 978. While the excitement ran owing to this being the first election ever held in Salt Lake entirely on party Mines, the vote fell 20 cent below that polled last November. e democrats con- ceded that the result is due to the dissatis- faction over the silver policy of the ad- ministration. —+2o—__—_— ‘A Seure at Monte Carlo.
