tice Chnse was widower. But, now that lis
successor is to be appointed, the social position
to be occupied by his wife becomes highly i'm
portant, or at lonHt is 80 regarded. The vito OF
Acknowledgement Williams has excited personal
hostility toward herself in official rociety at
Washington. This has proceeded so far as to
result in open declaration of Wat between the
pro-Williams and the anti-Wi!flams fnc.ions.
TIE President has nominated Williams for Chief
Justice, whercupon society is up in a.ns les. the
rife of Cabinet officer, tabooed by certain
ladies' OF equal rank, may, as the wife Of tue
Chief-Justice take precedence OF all her enemies,
and, ranking next to the vito of tho President,
demand the first Gull from the wives of all
other officials, and outrank them all at state
dinners. It is stated that many dinners arc now
given 1T Washington where the host avoids ail
controversy and squabblins among his guests on
theae questions Of preccdenceb by giving separate
dinner to the members OF each class. In thus
way ofrcnse is avoided, md there is no unseemly
exhibition of outraged Republican feeling BY
putting Mrs. n at q higher place at the table
than 3Irs. 3. This is = truly noble lnVe1tlon'
but it docs not solve the present difficulty. This
social war, nddod to other things, has probably
cooked the dish Of 11r. Williams as Chief-jua-
tice, and, unless tho President ehail select =
widower or bachelor, he must sec TINT the WIG
Of his appointee is not Objectionable to the wives
Of tile other officials, aud that she will not ect
up claim to take precedence OF other ladies' IN
the social world at Washington.
Thore Lavo been exciting questions concern
ing official etiquette at Washington before. In
1928, Con. Eaton, q Senator Of the United
statcs, married Mrs. Tiu1berlake, who had been
Peggy O'Neill, tho daughter Of 8 tayern-keopeE.
4 year Inter, Gen. Eaton was appointed Secre-
tary Of War By Gen. Jackson, whoreupon old
scandals, rife during her former marriage, were
revived. Society made war upon Airs. Eaton.
The wives OF the other Cabinet officers declined
to visit her; wives OF portion OF the Diplomatic
Corps refused to recognize her, and the indigni-
tics were carried to tho extent Of refusing to sit
at the same table with her. But Gen. Jackson
stood By her, and this brought on Cabinet
crisis, at tho end OF which Gen. Eaton was
appointed Minister to Spain. Mrs. Eaton's after
life Was even more painfully troubled. She
married for her third husband boy Of 10, who
seven years after robbed her and ran of with
her granddaughter. The other case was that Of
Madame Catacazy, the wife Of the Russian Min
ister. She was handsome woman, highly
accomplished, who had abandoned her first
husband A portion of Washington society got
alarmed at her advancement, and war was
made upon her, which ended in the demand that
Catacazy be recalled by the Russian Govern
mont. How or when th': present social war will
end nobody can tell. The President has made
point on having Williams confirmed. He is re-
puted to be very obstinate man, and, if he
sticks to his purpose, something worse than
Cabinet crisis may ensue.

THE SOCIAL WAR At WASHINGTON.

The time has come in the history Of the Re-
public when questions Of rank and etiquette
have acquired vnst public concern in official
circles nt Washington The gradual disappear
ance Of the forty-four million reserve ia of less
moment than whether Mrs. 4, by virtue Of her
dinner-table over Mrs. B, the wife OF another
Official The Visginius question is Of compara
tive insignihcance alongside that other question,
Shall the wives Of Senators make the first calls
upon the wives Of Cabinet Ministers or uicc
nersa! In the oldcn time, every wen-hred lady
maintained her own social position By recognizing
the equality Of all other well-bred ladies'. In
those days, the official RANK Of the husband, no
matter how high, did not entitle The wife to any
social recognition which she might not otherwise
claim. Ladies' took their position upon their
own character and accomplishments, without
reference to the rank Of their husbands. The
times have changed. 4 new generation has suc-
ceeded and now rank furnishes the recognized
credentials to social position. The Presidents
family is, OF course, always exceptional The
wife of the President never calls on any person.
Bat after the vito of tho President is conceded
her position, then comes the question which just
now agitstes Washington City to its centre, viz. !:
In what order shall The wives Of the Vice-Presi-
dent, Cabinet officers, Chicf-Just1ce, Associate
Justices, Senators, Representatives, foreign
Ambassadors, Admirals, 3Iaior-Gcnerals, Com
rnodoras, and Brigadiers take precedence !?
Upon tho decision Of this question depends the
relative position OF these ladies' At State dinners
and also Of tho momentous point Who shall
make the first call
special fairy has arisen over tho now vacant
Chlef-Justiceahip. Judge Taney Was Chiet-Jus-
tics until 1854, but hls wife was advanced in

1t time when marine disasters ara so nuIner-
ous, the suggestion that the marinors compass
is affected by iron steamships ought to promote
an investigation Of the subject among scientific
men. Such suggestion has been made
in the Nautical Gazette. in an article
citing several instancds OF magnetic deviation
caused by the unequal distribution Of heat over
q metallic hull. It has been noticed when one
side Of vessel has been exposed to the burning
rays OF the sun aud the other shaded. It is aleo
said that the altornate bands OF thu tepid Cult
Stream and the cold Polar water, met in the pas
sage from Liverpool to New York, will occasion
such variations under metallic influences.
