The women of the party entered the red and blue parlors and took their places behind the line. Mean time, the ambassadors and ministers foreign countries, with the attaches of the legations in their gorgeous and respleadent court uniforms, had gathered in the state dining room.

First in the line came the ambas- sadors und ministers from foreign courts, accompanied by their full staffs At their head was the venerable and dig- nified Lord Pauncefote, British ambassador, corps, in the full uniform of his high diplomatic rank With him were Lady Pauncefote and the Hon. Miss Pauncefoto and the ambassa- dorial etaff. Following them came Baron Fava, the Itallan ambaesador; Dr. von German ambassador; M Cambon, the French ambassador; Count Cassani, the Russian ambassador, and Senor Don Azpiraz, the Mexican ambassa- dor, each accompannied by his staft and ladles. The French ambassa- returned only last night from Paris, baving come on at this time to extend to the president the felicita- tions of the New Year. The Chinese minister, in his rich Ori- ental silks, accompanied by Madame Wu in elaborately embroidered gown, attracted much attention. After the ambassadors and ministers came the chief Justice and assoclate justices of the United States supreme court, the judges of the court of appeals, senators and representatives in congress, former cabinet officers and ministers of the United States. As the guests now began to move from room to room of the spacious mansion a scene of beauty and brilliancy met the eyes. From the state dining room the guests passed into the red parlor, whero the 1ich red furnishings, tapestries and walls were set off with a wealth of follage Along the mantle were rang:d the fragrant begonia and the flaming poinsetta, while below the central chan- clier arose superb clusters of American Beauty roses and orchids. Presidentinl Party The blue room was the center of attrac- tion, for here the presidential party re- ceived, surrounded by the members of the cahinet and their ladies and those favited to assist i recelving. The curtains were drawn and the shaded electric globes threw a soft radlant light on the delicate blue of the room and the brilliant assemblage. From the superb chandelier hung a pro- fusion of smilax and from the apex of the festoons burst a gorgeous mass of flowers. Across the front of the room a line of lounges formed an alsle through which the long line of guests proceeded. Immedi- ately to the left stood the president and Mrs. McKinley, recelving each guest as Colonel Bingham, master of ceremonies, announced the names. From the blue room the line passed through the green room and then into the spacious east reom. Here the windows, mantels and walls were massed with tall palms and flowering plants. One of the pleasing inci- dents of the musical program was the eighth number entitled, “Fantasia of Timely Thoughts,” & medley of Mrs. Me- Kinley's favorite airs, At 1140 the officers of the army, mavy aud marine corps, brave in gold lace, ap- peared. According to custom the army had precedence over the navy and this cou- tngent was headed by Licutenant General Miles and Adjutant General Corbin, each in the full uniform of his exalted rank, Dewey Has a Place of Honor, The naval section was headed by Ad- miral Dewey and his staff and the marine corps by Brigadier General Haywood. The colors of the army service, the yellow, red and white of the cavalry, artillery and infantry respectively, the deep blue of the navy and the light blue of the ma- rine corps, with the plume-graced chapeau: and helmets, now sifted through the assem- blage and gave it additional color and life. The reception at this po nt was at its height The members of the diplomatic corps soon after departed to altend the function at the residence of Secretary Hay, who en- tertained them at breakfast. At noon ap- veared the regents and secretary of the Smithsonian institution, the commissioners of fisherics, the civil service commissioner: the members of the interstate commerce commission, the commissioner of labor, the assistant secretaries of the various depart- ments, the treasurer of the United States, commissioner of pensions, commissloner of patents, director of the census, comptroller of the currency and the heads of bureaus. Veternus and the blie, They were followed at 12:15 by the A soclated Veterans of the Mexican War, now but balt a dozen in number; the Grand Army of the Republic, the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, the Uulon Veterans' union, Spanish War Veterans and the mem- bers of the Oldest Inhabitants' association of the District of Columbla. At 1230 the genoral public was admit- ted for un hour, in one continuous thy and stream, the people passed through the par- lors extending their greetings to the presi- dent Throughout the the wives of the various cabinet officers, forelgn umbassadors and ministers, the commanding general of the army and other high officials, held receptions at their sev- remainder of the day eral homes. The day was uotable for the | | Mrs. OMAHA general observance custom of calling. About 5,000 persons had been recelved up to 1:30 o'clock, the hour set for closing the reception, but, as the crowd still stretched four abreast beyond the outer gates, the president directed the reception to pro- ceed that all might come in. Mrs, McKinley endured the trying ordeal with much com- posure, remaining alongside the president throughout. At one time, as a dainty little girl stepped through, proudly carrying a huge doll, Mre. McKinley not only greeted the little girl, but also shook hands with the doll, to the infinite delight of the little mother. Later, when & negro ‘“‘mammy" held down a tiny baby, Mrs. McKinley chucked the tot under the chin and tucked a rosebud amid its laces. 1t was 2 o'clock when the end of the line appeared and the president, waving a final salutation to the lingering guests, escorted Mrs. McKinley to her apartments. of the time-honored MAY LOSE HIS OWN DISTRICT rman Hopkins a Safferer if Wiy WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-~(Speclal Tele gram.)—Chairman Hopkins of the census committee is apt to furnish a modern in- stance of an engineer hoisted by his own petard.

As the apportionment now stands Chicago has seven districts and the state fifteen. Under Hopkins' bill Chicago would have nine and the state fourteen. Thus, while the Illinpis dele- | gation as a whole would be increased from twenty-two to twenty-three, the outside of Chicago woula lose one. Now for the sequel. The district Mr. Hopkins represents is In the state outside of Cook county, Kane county in which he lives, adjoins Cook county. The plan is to at- tach Kane county to two Chicago wa and a part of Cook county outside of Chi- cago, making a safe republican which would be dominated in comvention by delegates from Chicago and Cook county.

Mr. Lorimer s re- garded as a man of great ability and force of character and is personally popular. It is belleved the Burlelgh and not the Hopkins biil will become a law, though the latter may pass the house, but if the Hopkins bill should become a law its most unexpected result, but one that would gratify many people in and out of con- gress, would be that it would legislate its author out of office ader Iu ving the Chi- NSIONS FOR WESTERN VETERANS War Survivors Hemembered by General Government., WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.—The following pensions have been granted in the issue of December 14: the ebraska—Original, Edward Morga ordan, Gordon, § h_J increase, ' Jacob J.

DAILY B IDNESDAY PETTIGREW 1S NOT T0 EDIT Retiring Senator Says He Has No Desire to“ Emulate Brysn, STENOGRAPHERS FOR THE PHILIPPINES | Congressman Hull of Towa Is Grently Gratified Over the ¥ Four Company ¥ WASHI TON, Jan. 1. —(Special )— Senator R. F. Pettigrew of South Dakota, who s soon to retire from the senate, denies that he proposes to devote the rest of his years to tho editing of a newspaper. Unlike Mr. Bryan, Mr. Pettigrew says he has other fish to fry and that he has no more taste for literary work than he has for the bite of a tarantula. Speaking of the statement that he was going to be come the editor of the Sioux Falls Press, a paper published in his home town, Mr. Pettigrew sa that the pas was not owned by him, but in & measure reflected | his sentiments; that it was in the hands of other persons, but that like many another public man, he had been compelled in times past to advance money to keep it going; that he was interested in the paper only in the sense that it was published | in his home town and that it was in full accord with the populist and silver re- publican principles. l | prepare a special examination for stenog- raphers and typewriters for men only for service in the Philipines. Somo time ago a | request was made for stenographers and typewriters for the Philippine service And the civil service commision certified thirty names, but of these thirty certified as eli- | gible, only four accepted the position | consideration of this fact the civil service commission has decided to set apart a day | for the examination of persons desiring | to accept these places. The date, how- | ever, has not yet been decided upon. It is suggested that there may be many prople in the states of Nebraska, lowa, South Dakota and Wyoming who could take these examinations. Those who accept these appointments will receive a salary of $1,200 and will have all their expenses paid by the government from Washington to Manila. The appointee, however, must pay the cxpense of the journey out of his own funds, the amount being returned to him on his arrival in Manila on the pre- sentation of vouchers or receipts. He must also go via San Francisco on a gov- | ernment transport. The reason the ap- pointee must furaish the cash s that if the government advanced the money some of these stenographers and typewriters as son as they reached San Francisco might suddenly change their minds and conclude to remain in the city of the Golden Gate The pay of the appointee begins from the moment of his acceptance of the appoint- ment, so that by the time of his arrival in Manila he would have a little over month’s pay due him. Congressman Thomas Improves. Representative Thomas of Sloux City has almost entirely recovered from the severe fall which he sustained a couple of weeks ago. He is able to get about now with one crutch, and he is confident that he will be able to discard that one by the end of another week, Mr. Thomas found his confinement to his hotel exceedingly irksome, and it naturally put him back in looking after the interests of his con- stituents, in which he has been very in- dustrious since he came, to congress. Fort Dodge has already notified Director Roberts that the clty is prepared to ac- cept the terms laid down by Andrew Care negle when he promised to contribute $30,- 000 toward the litrary for that city. Fort Dodge has a library at the present time of about 10,000 volumes, and some time axo a site was purchased, about 150 feet square, on one of the most eligible corners ot the town. The contributions were so liberal from the citizens that there is a fund of several thousand dollars available toward the new building. This, together with Mr. Carnegie's donation, will give Fort Dodgoe a handsome library building, and the com- mon council expresses perfect willingness of the city to care for the library ade- quately. Army ost In low Congressman Hull, who represents the Des Moines district in the house of repre- sentatives, is much gratified over the ex- cellent indorsement which Geperal Miles, as commander of the army, has given the project for an army post in Towa’s capital. The gencral recommends the establishment of a four-company post, and SUEEEsts also that provision be made for the care of a battery of artillery. Iowa, therefore, will have within her borders an excellent rep- resentation of Uncle Sam's army, and It can be taken for granted that Mr. Hull, through his position as chairman of the military affairs committee of the house, will be able to have the headquarters of some regiment located there, so that the peoplo of Des Moines will have the benefit of a military band for concerts and out- door musical entertalnments during the summer months, which will undoubtedly draw thousands to the post. Although the house committee on Indian affairs in preparing the Indian appropria- tion bill struck out the provision for the Sac and Fox agency, thereby intending to abolish that particular agency, it is not likely that this action will be indorsed by tho senate. In fact, Semator Allison is strenuously opposed to the elimination of the agency. He thinks that the Sacs and Foxes are not sufficiently well advanced in civilization to care for themselves yet, and that the small expense of the agent would be repaid very largely in the bet- terment of the condition of the Indlans, and for that reason he insists that the appropriation shall be restored. It 18 likely that he will be successful in this and that all of the agencies which It was proposed to abolish will be again provided for.
