NEW YEARS nAY.
The Question nf Receptions
and Calls.

Already the question of New Years
receptions and calls is beginning to
receive consideration on the part of the
young ladies and gentlemen who CON
stitute society circles. The fact that
New Year falls on Sunday has put the
fairer sex, and especially the hospita-
BILE matrons who have to bear the
brunt of these receptions, to deliberat-
ing whether to keep open house for
callers on Saturday or Monday. mas
much as either day would be equally
convenient to the gentlemen, it seems
choice should be made that will prove
most convenient to the ladies. On this
account the EXAMINER ventures to
suggest Saturday rather than Mon
day. Those ladies who receive will
quite naturally desire to offer their
callers something in the way of re-
freshments. Every housekeeper
knows that preparation for such enter
tainment must be made the day previ-
Gus. Manifestly it would be impractic
able to prepare viands or refreshments
Saturday for use Monday. 1t would
be difficult, too, to have such work done
on Sunday. By adopting Saturday as
New Years day all these difficulties
would be obviated. We believe the
ladies will agree with us in this sugges-
ton, and we feel sure the gentlemen
will acquiesce in whatever determin-
alton may be reached by those who are
to entertain them. We should like,
however, to hear from some of our
lady readers on the subject.

Beauties for Brides.

Bud Anderson yesterday sold hand
some dressing case set to an expectant
bride, for 1886. This is the second set
for a similar purpose he has sold in
three days, and third set in sight.
These goods are handsome enough to
tempt any one to get married, and
cheap, too. This reporter took a spin
yesterday among Anderson Bros su-
perb stock, and could only envy the
wonderful bargains there offered. Go

AT HEADQUARTERS

CornelI's Powerful Position - Half the
Leg;slation Enacted Yet to Receive ais
Approval
ALBANY, May 27.-Msny members OF
the Assembly have been summoned to
the Executive chamber in the old capi-
tol and subjected to the Governor 5
powers OF persuasion, which are uncom-
monty potent at this period, for he holds
within his control nearly half Of the bills
of the session, owing to the wretched
slackness OF the Assembly in despatch
ing its business. But il is no secret in
the interior political circles OF Albany
that the results though not inconsidera-
BILE, are not SO substantial AS desirable.
Indeed, some of the Stalwarts OF
the Vice Presidential stripe are
bitterly sarcastic in their comments. As
a specimen, one OF Mr.. Arthur's close
associates in New York city politics re-

GENERAL WASHINGTON NEWS NOTES.
CAR.pRUCK CHANNEL IRoH.

English Manufactures Caught at Their
Tricks-An Important Decision.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-Assistant
Secretary French yesterday sent to the
Collector OF Customs at New York
letter OF instructions regarding the duty
upon car-truck channel iron chat will be
of interest to iron manufacturers. Some
days ago large delegation Of Philadei--
phia, Pittsburg and Scranton iron men
called upon the Secretary Of the Treasury
and made strong appeal in favor OF
specific duty upon car-truck channel
iron. After argument had been
submitted a second delegation
OF Pennsylvanians principally from
Pittsburgh, Bethlehem, Philadel-
phia and Reading, called and desired
a hearing. On last Saturday they laid
their evidence before the Department.
The case was taken under advisement
and the decision rendered yesterday 10
the instructions sent to the New York
Custom House. The letter says that il
is very clear to the Department that car
truck channel iron, either rolled or ham.
mered, cannot come in at ad valorem
rate under the head OF manufacturers
OF iron. The Department had at one
time ruled that it could thus be entered,
liable TO an al valorem duty, but later
evidence submitted had convinced the
Department that il should pro.
L IL nj oil
for manufactures OF iron and should
therefore be liable to specific duty. 1t
was true that much OF the car-truck
channel iron sent in here was cut to
certain lengths, hammered straight and
punched, but in this condition it could
no more be manufacture OF iron than
tank.iron treated in the same way and
the ruling which had been made in re.
lation to tank-lron must apply also to
channel iron. whether cut in lengths
and hammered or not. The Depart.
ment, therefore. reverses the opinion OF
October, 1880, in relation to car-truck
channel.iron, and it will be looked up
on as classed among bar and plate
iron and subject TO specific duty,
according to the provision made by
Congress for the classification OF such
forms OF iron material as we're not speci.
fically enumerated in the Revised Stat
utts This decision has been looked for.
ward to with interest by iron men all
over the country, and it will be received
with pleasure as an evidence that the
Government is coming to an understand
ing OF the tricks by which English man.
uiacturers are evading rightiul duties
upon their product. As it now stands,
car.truck channel iron pays a duty OF
S2l per ton. Under the ruling it must
pay a specific duty OF one and one.half
cents per pound, which at present prices
viii. amount TO about $50 per ton.

BY the Conklingites 70 Call q Caucus. With
Good Prospects or their Getting TAem
ALBANY, n. Y, May 27.-The Cenk'
ingites are still lighting strenuously for
the caucus and declare emphatically
that the fate oi the party in this State
rests on such action. To 90 into an
election for Senators without first hold
ing a caucus, they say, reduces the party
to a mob with no head, no tail and no
organization. II will break it up nope
lessly and necessitate a reorganization.
Their argument is that the Republica n
party In this State owes all its power to
the machinery il has now in existence,
and to break it is to turn the State over
to the Democracy, and isr many years
to come.
The usussl recess until Monday night
will be taken by the Legislature, and
the Conklingites hope in that interval
to affect the object they have iu view by
securing a requisite number Of signers
10 the call.
Owing TO the absence by sickness OF
Carpenter, OF Dutchess county, there
are only l05 Republican electors, aad
these are said to be divided-47 for
Conkling and AZ against him, leaving
IL doubtful. A majority Of los is So,
and the Conkiingites need six more to
make that majority. 1t is said that they
will get these and call caucus for Mon
day night; then, il the administration
will not 90 into caucus, they will have
to take the responsibility OF turning
against the party OF the State and the
Conklingites will have to devote them
selves to breaking the deadlock. How
this is to be done is too soon now to in
lirafe

have been recovered so far, and it seems
doubtful that any more will be. Par
