Startling Charges Against Philadel- phia Councilm: From the Philadelphia Inquirer. The affidavit of James Breen, charging that $362,000 worth of stock of a certain telephone company was distributed to pur- chase the passage of a blanket franchise through councils is locked up in the safe of Thomas Martindale until either councils, the legislature or the courts shall appoint a committee of investigation. With the affidavit are certain letters from the secre- tary of the company to Mr. Breen, which are said to corroborate his allegations. ‘The stock books of the company, it is said, are or were in the possession of a trust company, and the books, if produced, will show to whom this stock was given. + On the strength of these allegations two members of councils, one in each branch, are prepared to offer resolutions of inquiry at the next session. The officers of the municipal league are said to be preparing the necessary petition of twenty citizens, with five affidavits, so that the courts may be asked to order an investigation under the Bullitt charter’s clause relating to im- peachment. This latter course would imply that at least some of the persons who are alleged to have received stock were coun- cilmen or other public officers. ——+00——_____ ENGLAND WARNS JAPAN. Must Not Ascend the Yang-Tse-Kiang River. A dispatch from Shanghai says the Brit- ish government has wired instructions to Admiral Fremantle, commanding the Brit- ish fleet in Chinese waters, to prevent, by force, if necessary, the Japanese squadron from ascending the Yang-Tse-Kiang river, at the mouth of which is Shanghai. s The dispatch further states that the Americans Wilde and Howie, who were ar- rested at Kobe on the steamer Sydney in November last in consequence of the dis- covery of a plot entered into with the Chinese government to destroy the Japa- nese fleet by means of explosives, and who were subsequently released on parole, have arrived at Wei-Hai-Wei and are engaged ih the work of preparing explosives for use in the carrying out of their scheme. The Chinese peace envoys will go to Hiro- | shima on a passenger steamer, Japan ob- jecting to a special vessel.

These qualities, united witR a perfect mechanism, place “the Knabe piano’ at the head of the best American instruments, and I again beg to express my satisfaction that I have the use of same for my entire Ameri- can toy.

THE SOCIAL WORLD A Brilliant Gathering at the White House Last Night. A CORDIAL GREETING T0 ALL Members of the Diplomatic Corps and other Distinguished Guests. PERSON AL NOTES OF INTEREST The diplomatic reception last night at the White House, following the traditions of these events, was largely attended, and at its height suggested the palmy days of old when the entire fashionable world of the Capital aired its best finery, while it prom- enaded up and down the state apartments or exchanged swect nothings or somethings perhaps in the flower-laden atmosphere of the conservatories. The weather was not of a character to tempt any one not ab- solutely oblivious to its discomforts and effects on good clothes out of their houses, byt with characteristic good luck, which always attends the occasions of Mr. Cleve- land’s social events, while every one ap- proached the mansion in the midst of a pouring rain they drove or walked home under a moon and star lit sky. At 8 o'clock there were probably a hundred guests al- ready assembled in the corridor or east room. When the receiving party descended at 9 the corridor was packed, so much so that it required a little good natured man- agement on the part of Capt. Dexter to open an avenue leading to the blue room. President Cleveland came down stairs smiling, and this happy expression never left his features until he passed up again. ‘The time was when he used to appear very solemn and serious at these society turn- outs, but he begins to look now as if he enjoyed them. In the blue room, next to Mrs. Cleveland, stood Mrs. Gresham, Mrs. Carlisle, Mrs. Lamont, Mrs. Olney, Mrs. Bissell, Miss Herbert and Miss Morton, while the cabinet officers joined the small gathering back of the line which was made up of the guests in the cabinet families or their friends. Secretary Gresham presented the mem- vers of the diplomatic corps to the Presi- dent, and after all that body had been re- ceived the rest of the introductions fell to Col. Jno. M. Wilson and Lieut. Gilmore, the latter presenting each person to Mrs. Cleve- land. ‘The British ambassador,Sir Julian Paunce- fote, who as the dean of the corps always makes it a puint to be present far in ad- vance of his colleagues, so as to welcome them while they are gathering in the red room, preceded them in paying his respects to. the President. He was accompanied by Lady Pauncefote, their three daughters, Hen. Mr. Gough and Lady Gough, and the other members of the embassy. The French ambassadcr entered alone, as did the Mexi- can minister. The Italian ambassador and Baroness Fava came nearer the end of the procession than in their place, as did also the German ambassador and his daughter, Baroness Carmen von Saurma. The Bra- zilian minister and Mrs. Mendonca were ac- companied by their guests,the Misses Well- ing of New York, and Mr. Mario Mendonca by the Misses Mendonca. The Chilean min- ister was accompanied by his handsome wife, Minister Zeballos by his sister, Miss Marie Zeballos, and Lieut. and Mrs. Att- well; Dr. Guzman came alone, the Spanish minister with his first secretary and Miss Segrario, the Turkish minister by the sec- retary of the legation and Mrs. Norighian, and the Peruvian charge d’affaires by the charming Mrs. Yrigoyen. The Japanese legation was fully represented by the min- ister and his secretary. The Chinese minister was accompanied by_his wife and six of his secretaries. Mrs. Yang wore a court dress: of blue satin so closely embroidered that only very little of the foundation color could be seen, and her tiny little fingers glittered with dia- monds. She exchanged greetings with the President and Mrs. Cleveland and the cab- inet ladies, shaking hands in the most ap- proved high-elbow style, and laughing very heartily while she did so. Mrs. Cleveland wore a gown of white satin, the waist covered with point lace, which fell with a ruffled effect from the shoulders. A wide-looped bow of turquoise velvet was in front of the corsage. Her diamond necklace was clasped at the back by a diamond spray, and a diamond star gleamed over her forehead. Mrs. Gresham was in lilac silk, Mrs. Carlisle mauve bro- cade with touches of cerise velvet on the corsage with fine lace. Mrs. Lamont’s gown was of rose-pink satin, the bodice embroid- ered in silver, and the gloves, which reach- ed the short pink satin-puffed sleeves, ex- actly matched them in color. Mrs. Olney was also elegantly gowned. She wore gray moire combined with emerald velvet and trimmed with antique lace Mrs. Bissell was radiant ih light blue satin, also em- broidered in silver and of a color most be- coming to her. Miss Herbert was in pale blue satin with red velvet and red rose garniture, and Miss Morton wore a lilac bengaline trimmed with velvet of a darker shade and point lace. These ladies followed the example of Mrs. Cleveland and tucked up the right hand gloves and shook hands very generally. Mrs. Perrine wore white satin and bro- cade, with butterfly bows on the shoul- ders and looked very handsome. Mrs. Thurber was in white satin. Lady Pauncefote wore light green bro- cade and point lace. The Misses Paunce- fote wore light brocades combined with satin.

The en- tertainment was a pink tea. The decora- tions of the house were in pink, and the pretty little girl and her manly little broth- er were in pink, too. The chandeliers were garlanded with asparagus with pink roses, caught im the vines, and bouquets of roses were in the vases on the mantels. The little folks danced for an hour or so, when they formed a procession and marched to the dining room down stairs. The table was like a feast in fairyland. Fhe tapers burned behind fairies arranged in pink gauze, the cloth was striped with pink satin ribbons, and small tembourines filled with sugar strawberries, little jars of candy and tiny dogs in the way of favors were at each plate. When the feast was over the children marched back to the perlor and found there a_ great pink pie, ccvered wich butterflies. Each touched a buttertly and found attached to it by a pink ribbon a pretty toy er souvenir.

Just as the car carries grain, meat and other things where they are wanted, so the microscopia scarlet corpuscles in the blood carry oxygen where it is needed to make good the uncnding waste of tiseue. The economic health of a nation depends largely on its railway system. The welfare of the body requires that the millions of red particles shail be kept always runuing briskly with their freight of oxygen.

A Mecting Devoid of Results—Mr. Vest's Proposed Bill. The meeting of the Senate committee on finance yesterday was entirely devoid of results, unless a vague promise that there should be a bill for consideration by Sat- urday may be accepted as such. The re- publican members made the point early in the proceedings that talk was of com- paratively little value as long as there was no legislative proposition before them. The force of this suggestion was admitted by the democratic members, but they ex- plained that they had considered it a waste of time to formulate a bill until there should be some comparison of notes among all the committee members and an intima- tion on the part of the republicans as weli as of the democrats as to what they would agree to. To this it was replied that the republicans felt that the responsibility did not rest with them, but with the majority party. The committee was informed during the meeting that Senator Vest had had a bill in contemplation, and there was a partial promise that it would be completed in time to be introduced in the Senate in time to permit its being printed for the use of the committee Saturday. It is un- derstood that any bill which may be in- troduced at this time will be tentative and that its principal purpose will be to afford the committee a base of discussion. There was also incidental reference to the revenue necessity of the government, but the democrats did not indicate any willing- ness to interfere with the tariff at the present time, expressing the opinion that there was no immediate prospect cf a de- ficit. It is understood that Mr. Vest has changed his plans somewhat with refer- ence to the details of his bill and that his present purpose is to provide for the re- demption of all greenbacks and treasury notes by issuing coin certificates therefor to be redeemed in gold or silver, at the dis- cretion of the government, so long as the gold reserve does not fall below $160,000,000, and that when it is below that amount the redemption shall be in silver, and for the unlimited coinage of silver, the depositor of silver bullion to receive silver dollars from the mfht at the market price of the bullion and the government to retain the seignioras —__—__-e-—___ MR. QUAY’S AMENDMENTS. Three Which He Intends to Offer to the Urgent Deficiency Bill. In the Senate yesterday afternoon Mr. Hill offered an amendment to the urgent deficiency bill, stipulating that the right to test the constitutionality of the income tax law in any court of the United States should not be abridged by any existing statute. Senator Quay explained that section 3224 of the Revised Statutes provides that “no suit for the purpose cf restraining the as- sessment or collecticn of any tax shall be maintained in any court.” Mr. Peffer moved to table the amend- ment, and persisted in his motion, despite protests of Senators Cockrell and Harris, who desired to give Mr. Hill and his friends a chance to make their speeches. The mo- ticn was lost. As there were other amend- ments, and as Mr. Hill was not prepared to go on with his speech, it was agreed that the income tax provision should go over, and after some routine work was done on the bill Mr. Quay gave notice of the three following amendments which he intended to offer to the urgent deficiency bill: To insert a provision repealing the inccme tax law; to insert the entire Mc- Kinley tariff act, and to insert the wool tax. The urgent deficiency bill was then laid aside and the Nicaragua canal bill was taken up. Mr. Caffery (La.) addressed the Senate on the subject. He declared that while favoring the construction of the canal he was opposed to the means proposed in the bill for effecting this purpose. Mr. Caffery argued against the constitutionality of the measure, and asserted that the United States had no authority to delegate the pewer to regulate commerce to the Mari- time Canal Company of Nicaragua. Without completing his remarks Mr. Caffery yleided to a motion to proceed with executive business, and, at 5 o'clock, the Senate went into executive session, and at 5:25 p.m. adjourned. 2 FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT. Work of the Committee of Nincty-Five in Philadelphia. In accordance with the resolution adopt- ed by the citizens’ committee of mincty- five of Philadelphia, the executive commit- tee of that crganization met yesterday to take measures for insuring theselection of worthy men for councils. The committee met behind closed doors and remained in session several hours. Rudolph Blanken- burg presided, and after the meeting ad- journed he said: “This committee passed a resolution last evening declaring in the strongest terms its advocacy of honest city councils and its de- termination to enter at once into the fight to bring about that result. The fight has begun, and the executive committee is now studying the plan of campaign and preparing the 2mmunition. We propose to enter upon an active campaign for the choice of goed councilmen. What we will do with regard to the magistracy candi- dates has not yet been decided cn. ®oday the committee is engaged in studying the list of covncilmanic nominees. We intend to be very careful in our action in each perticular case, for we desire to be just to everybody. We will take action only after the most studious consideration of the character of the new nominees, and of the characters and votes of these men who are renominated for councils. Our methods will conform as nearly as possible to the methods of the old committee of one hun- dred, but we will introduce several im- provements, of which I am not new at lib- erty to speak. We are more than ever en- couraged now, for all the good people and papers in the city are with wu: Of the nomination cf City Sclicitor War- wick for mayor Mr. Blankenburg “The nomination of Mr. Warw' in the first place, the overthrow tor Quay as a dictator in our mun’ fairs and government.
