will probably lead the Republican opposi-
tion and rumors are already ahoat of re-
organization of parties. They cannot for
get that they waged the campaign on en-
tirely different ground, and that the
President is carrying out the Democratic
programme instead Of the policy outlined
by his own supporters before the election

family in their houses during the summer,
even without charging rent at ALL The
Spanish Minister and wife are about Civ

A rumor is current here that the Grand
Duke Alexis is really coming at last
Washington society watched and waited
and sighed in vain for him all winter, and
now that "society" is over and the season

one, but is not large enough to accommo-

colored boys, and there are also colored
girls in the institution.
