WHITE HOUSE RECEPTION.

How the Home and Foreign Dignitaries
Paid Their Respects to the President.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The advent Of the
new year was generally observed. The prin-
cipal point of attraction was the Executive
mansion, where the reception of guests COM
menced at II o'clock. In company with the
President were Vice President Wheeler, Mrs.
Hayes, Mrs. Jewett, of Chicago, Mrs. Austin,
of Cleveland Mrs. Hastings, Mrs. Anderson,
of Cincinnati; the Misses Scott, Mrs. Wood
worth and Mrs. Andrews. Rarely, if ever
before, has the Vice President with
the President on such occasions
received. The only cabinet absentee
was Secretary Sherman. who was
informed by telegraph this morning of the
death of his brother. He had called, how
ever, before the reception commenced to in
form the President of his bereavement. The
British legation being in mourning, was not
represented. Nearly all the members of the
diplomatic corps were present. The Chi
nese legation attracted the most attention,
and many sought an introduction to the am
bassador and his attaches The ministers
and secretaries, except Mr.. Bartlett, wore
the Chinese dress. It was their first visit on
New Years occasion, and they were evil
IDENTIFY much pleased with the attentions be-
slowed upon them. All the judges of the
United States supreme court, with the excep-
ton of Justice Clifford, who is on a visit to
Richmond, the judges of the court of claims,
and the Southern claims commission and
| courts for the District of Columbia were
present, with ladies. Nearly all members of
Congress now in Washington called to pay
| their respects to the President and Vice
President. The attendance of officers OF
the army was unusually large. General
Sherman was not present. The navy was
we'll represented, as were all classes of off.
GERS and employees under the government and
the public generally.

A COLONIZATION SCHEME.

IN Important Project Submitted to the
Dominion GOvernns ent.
lOttaw (Ont.) Speciah
stupendous scheme for the colonization
of the Northwest and the establishment of
an ocean route for trade purposes between
Europe and the Saskatchewan valley via
Hudson's Straits, has just been submitted to
the government by Surveyor General Den
mis-. The report shows the feasibility of
running line of steamers between Liver
pool and Hudson's Bay in the months of
July, August and September. York Factory
the chief post on Hudson's Bay, is nearer
Liverpool than New York, the distances be-
ing as follows: York Factory TO Liverpool
via Hudson's Strait and Cape Farewell, the
southern point of Greenland, z, 1856 miles: New
York to Liverpool via Cape Race and Tory
Island, 2,978 miles; via Cape Race and
Cape Clear, 1929 miles. York Factory is at
the mouth of the Nelson river and it is pro-
posed to build railroad thence to Prince
Albert, on the Saskatchewan, to connect
with the Canada Pacific, distance of 400
miles. This would bring the Saskatchewan
valley as near to tide-water as Ontario is to
tide-water at Quebec. For 200 years Hud-
son Bay company's sailing ships have traded
between York Factory and Scotland. The
straits and bay are clear of ice early in July,
closing again in September. Ignite coal is
found in abundance at Davis strait, and a
coaling station for the projected steamship
line could be established there.
The Saskatchewan country con-
tains 257,OoO,0Oo acres, or 100000
square miles, of available agricultural land.
1t is watered by the Saskatchewan, Beaver,
Peace, and Athabasca rivers, and innumera-
BILE smaller streams, and it is believed to be
the best wheat-growing section on the con
tinent. Wheat of the finest quality grows at
Fort Providence, on Great Slave lake, on the
ffty-eighth parallel, the extreme northern
point of this vast territory. Col. Dennis also
points out that this scheme would lead to the
development of the Hudson bay fisheries,
and TO the enormous pineries extending from
the height of land northward to James and
Hudson's Bay. He recommends that a
steam vessel be fitted out during the com
ing season to test the practicability of the
scheme.

The Latest Ne,c York Scandal.

The fashionable avenues in New York
have abundant material for gossip in the
scandal which has recently involved the
names of some persons who have been
prominent for their wealth and social posi-
ton. Mr.. Thorp, wealthy merchant of
this city, has recently sued for a divorce
from his wife, Mrs. Laura M. Thorp, on &C
count of her alleged intimate relations with
several men, prominent among whom is Mr..
Lloyd Phoenix, one of the wealthiest young
men about town and, except Mr.. Bennett,
the most prominent yacht owner in America.
On account of their family troubles, Mrs.
Thorp some time ago left her husband and
has since been living in a sumptuously fur
nished uptown fiat Mr.. Phoenix was yerv
angry because his name was involved in the
scandal, and it is said that on the 18th inst.
he accused Mrs. Thorp of unnecessarily
bringing his name into the nastiness. She
has made affidavit that on this day, at s
o'clock in the morning, he, while in her
rooms, hit her with poker, pounded her
with his fists, knocked her down, and point
ing revolver at her, threatened to shoot
her. The cause of this exhibition
of manly strength, she says,
was that she refused to give up
certain letters he had written to
her. She has sued him for $4,000 damages.
Mr.. Phoenix has filed counter affidavit de-
nying that he was in her rooms at the hour
mentioned or that he offered her any violence
or abuse. Mrs. Thorp's side of the story is
sustained by the testimony of her cook,
coachman, maid, and other servants, who
say they were aroused by the horrid din, and
