With all fermality laid aside and everybody chatting while they ate the gathering took on a most in- teresting phase. The glowing colors of the court uniform made here a vivid contrast to the more subdued shades in the dresses of the ladies. The diplomats did not take thelr departure until long past 1 o'clock. At 2:30 the Sécretary and Mrs. Olvey be- gan their official reception. Mrs. “Olney wore the handsome gown she had on at the White House.

The Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs. Carlisle kept xopen house from the time they returned from the White House. Their home, so often the scene of similar occa- sions, was as bright and cheerful as ever. The chandeliers and all” the lamps were softly lighted, and all the pleasant hospi- tality of the day seemed expressed in the friendly greeting extended by -host and hostess. Flowers made each room fragrant and in the dining room formed table at- tracticns around which were clustered ail manner of seasonable dainties, which the servants handed about among the callers. Assisting Mrs. Carlisle were Mrs. William K. Carlisle, Mrs. Stanley Matthews, Miss Addison Mitchell, Miss Lucy Page, Miss Bryan of Chicago, the Misses Hamlin, Miss Alice Berry and Mrs. Bowler, wife of the controller of the treasury. The Secretary of War and Mrs. Lamont were home from the White House in time to receive the officers of the army, who came direct from there, headed by Gen. Miles. The reception, which commenced under these brilliant auspices, continued till its close an occasion of more than usual moment. The spacious rooms were wayly decorated. The walls were sprayed with wild laurel and southern smilax, caught with great rosettes of scarlet rib- bon, which had long loops and streamers reaching down to the pictures. Over the doorways the effect of the greens and the ribbons wus very pretty. Fine roses in the vases on the mantels, like old friends, were close within'reach. In the dining room the table was spread with all the usual dain- ties, ~tbstantials and liquid refreshments. Mrs. !=mont was assisted In her plea:ant duties by Mrs. Breckinridge, Mrs. Liever Mrs. Sternberg, Mrs. Stanton, Mrs. Greely, Mrs. Craighill, Mrs. Closson, Mrs. Gordon, all of the army circle; Mrs. Hawley, Mrs. George B.

The Public Received. ‘The public reception was begun at 12:35. o'clock and continued until about 5,000 peo- ple had shaken the hand ofthe President and Mrs. Cleveland, The people began to assemble at the west gate as early as 10 o'clock, and when the White Hous2 doors were opened the line extended down Pennsyivania avenue to ijth street and southward on 17th street for some distance. The New Year callers waited patiently during the long time that elapsed until they could get within the White House. The proportion of colored people in the line was small, the majority of the callers being strangers in the city or those who have not lived here previous te the present adminietration. ‘The occasion ‘seemed to be enjoyed by everyone, and no disturbance of any kind vceurred. The reception came to a close on schedule time at 2 o'clock, every caller having at that hour passed the receiving party. Col. Wil- son estimated that 8,000 people had called on the President during the day. At the conclusion of the reception the President and Mrs. Cleveland and their as- sistants proceeded upstairs to the main corridor and partook of much-needed re- ‘reshments. Amorg those who sat down vith the President and his charming wife were the Attorney General and Mrs. Har- non, the Postmaster General and Mrs. Wil- yon and Secretary and Miss Morton. Mrs. Cleveland stood the trying ordeal of the day exceedingly well and was in ex- lient spirits as the party ascended the tairway. On the other hard the Presi- jent seemed to be very muc'a fatigued by the day’s experierce and walked along the corridor and up the stairway as though he was nearly exhausted. The Murine Bund Program. The Marine Band, under the direction of Professor Fanctulli, rendered the following program of mus:c at the White House to- day, during the President's reception: “Grand Inaugural March’ Overture—“F., Fantasta—“Internations!

Sec- cembe, from Boston on December 21, for Liverpool, ran ashore on a reef, near South Stack, in a dense fog; but she was subse- quently floated and steamed here. When the steamer first grounded, two life boats were sent to her assistance, but the rising tide floated her. The forty pas- sengers who were on board of her have arrived here, and: have taken trains for their respective destinations. ‘The Cephalonia had a very rough pas- sage. Everything went well, towever, un- ul 7:20 this morning, when she ran ashore. The passengers rushed on deck in alarm, the boats were lowered immediately and all the women and children were placed in them. When the women and children had been cared for, the pther passengers were allowed to enter the boats, but an examina- lire.

There was not a large attendance of members of Corgress, but the number call- ing to pay their respects to the President was not Jess than fs usual, as a New Year reception is not generally largely attended. There was quite a sprinkling of new mem- bers, however, and a number of well-known faces of older Senators and Representa- tives. Senator Burrows came early, and was in the corridor when the presidential party went inte the blue room. ‘There was no effort to get the Senators and Representatives tugether as members of separate bodies. In.most instances they had several members of ihé¢ir families with them.

The soldiers were finally defeated and twenty were locked up. Thousands of factcry hands danced the old year out and the new in. A raiding party went to Sadier’s Hall, where the Kosciusko Guards, a military organization, were holding a dance, to execute a warrant for the seizure of beer. The soldiers drew their sabers and drove the officers from the hall. A reinforcement of fifteen policemen. was called and attempted to enter the hall, but the guards beat them back with thei: sabers. The police were cut and slashed, and sev- eral of them were seriously injured. The captain of the guards is hardly recognizable from the bamps and cuts ox | his face from the policemen’s clubs. Every ene of the twenty prisoners bears marks o} the melee. They were spattered with blood. and their uniforms are in shreds. The women acted like furies. They jump ed on the police and scratched their face: and tore their hair out by handfuls, After the fight five other halls were visit- ed and neariy 200 kegs of beer seized. MUDD ELECTED SPEAKER.

The merging of the New Year eve celebra- tion into the revival was termed an “1896 good resolution meeting.” The pastor of the church, Rev. Charles L. Pate, and Re- vivalist J. H.

The revival will be continued every evening except Satur- days until further notice.

Among the more youthful spectators of the gay doings were the Misses Bessie and Julia Li mont, the young grandson of Sec- retary Curlisle and his sisters. The Secretary of State and Mrs. Olney withdrew from the reception at a quartcr to 12, as at noon they were to receive the diplomatic corps at their own home. The rest of the cabinet ladies, however, re- mained with Mrs. Cleveland. They were Mrs. Carlisle, Mrs. Lamont, Mrs. Harmon, Miss Herbert, Mra. Wilson and Miss Mor- ton. They received the public with her. Mrs. Cleveland follow2i her usual custoin of removing her gloves and shook hands vigorously with every one. The cabinet ladies generally followe¢. her example. Citizens who desired to wish a happy New Year to the President started out early with that intention. A long line, constantly re- ceiving accessions, had formed at half-past 10 beyond the west gate The crowd was as large as previous years. The receotion had no breaks during the first hour, for if the designated groups were not on hand there was always an eager crowd to press into the official atmosphere of the blue room.

The line was headed by the officers of the army stationed in tiis vicinity, with Major Generai Miles and Ad- jutant General Ruggles in the lead. They were accompanied by their staffs, including General Breck and Capt. Michler. The heads of the bureaus came next, with their assistants.

William King, who is also under indictment with him, is out on bail. The offenses were committed several months ago. At the house of Senator Wol- cott nothing was stolen, as the men who made the attempt were discovered by the butler, and they had to participate in a fight before they escaped. The cases were investigated by Detectives Horne and Weedon. Wilson will probably be brought here by the marshal later in the week. Se Only Three Arrests Today. Tne police had an unusually quiet time today, and up to 2 o'clock only two arrests had been made east of Rock creek and one in Georgetown.
