WASHINGTON SOCIETY.
Sayings and DOings of Prominent So
ciety People.

WASHINGTON, December 13.-Visiting was
quite generally carried on in all parts Of
the city yesterday afternoon, and the la
dies of the Supreme Court families, and
the residents on Capitol Hill and at the
nary yard receiving many callers. Few of
the ladies of the diplomatic corps have as
vet announced a special day for receiving
and nearly every one seems to be reserying
their strength until after the holidays.
The story is told that Mrs. Blaine, upon
meeting Gen. Butler in street car last
week, congratulated him upon his election
and said: you will soon be Governor Of
Massachusetts. To this Gen. Butler re-
piled: Yes, the Republican Governor Of
Massachusetts," and then answered her eX-
clamatIon of surprise by saying that he did
not credit his election to the Democrats,
but to the people who have become dis
satisfied with party management. He is to
be the peoples Governor, and the majority
of the people OF Massachusetts, are RePub-
licanS. Thus reasOneth the unhappy can
didate to whom Mrs. Julia Ward Howe
would not be introduced
Mrs. Cheng.
Madame Gheng, wife of the Chinese min
lister. has recently been photographed IN
American costume, and the proof repre-
u
with nothing in her appearance to suggest
aught but western civilization. The face,
shadowed by large hat, has sweetly Sc:
rious expression, and the perfect oval
countenance is lighted by soft black eyes.
Except for this little experiment in west
ern ways Madame Cleng has not abandoned
her native costume or customs, and speak
ing but few words of English she main
tains a Chinese secIusion in her apartments
at the legation.
Secretary Chandler family returned to
the city last week. and Mrs. Chandler is
now basily occupied in preparations for
order, A large addition has been made to
the house this summer, and Mrs. Chandler
will enjoy great facilities for entertaining
during the winter.
Justice Blatchford and his family are
now comfortably settled in their new resi-
dence at the corner of Fifteenth and h.
streets, hut Mrs Blatchford will not form
ally begin her receptions after the holidays

dian of 0akwood cemetery last night ar
rested two medical students and two

inently connected.

students, w. B. Meredith, acknowledged
when captured that he was with the party
who robbed the graves Saturday night, but
the other student, W. A. Smith, was not
with them. Meredith and two negroes
were sent to the grand jury.

PEN0LEToN AND VOORHEES,.
Their Position on the Civil Service
Reform Question.
Spfeial Dispatch to the Rsgistsr.

Special DtSDdtch 20 the Register.
WASHINGTON, December 13-It is likely
that civil service reform will occupy the
attention of the Senate during this week,
and that the question will at least be
further illuminated by speeches from
prominent Senators.
Pendleton's speech at the last session
gave him prominent place among Demo-
cratic leaders who favor q correction of the
present abuses in our system of federal ap-
pOintments, and he is still looked on as
the prime mover on that side in the effort
to secure the proposed reforms. In the
estimation Of people who only see a selfish
motive in any new departure, his work in
that direction has been looked upon as an
attempt to bring himself into the line
of Presidential selection for the
second time, but his best friends
think he has long since come 10 the conclu-
sion that his financial record has taken him
ont of the possibility of any such contin-
gency, and if he does not think so, they
think so for him. The ghost of the rag
baby still walks and the recollection of the
loss of the German vote and the defect
which followed the advocacy of soft money
theories still haunts the dreams of judi
CiOuS Democratic politicians. Two of his
friends, one of them a Southern senator
and the other an active managing politician
from Ohio, whom met yesterday, express
ed substantially the views above set forth,
and the general drift OF talk among the
party managers here is in the same direc-
ton. So, am inclined to think, Mr.. PEN
dleton's efforts are labor Of love and duty,
but they do not promise much at the pres
ent writing.
AS telegraphed you some days since
senator Voorhees,
put himself on record last week as opposed
to the various projects now before the two
Houses looking to the adoption OF any
particular set of civil service rules, declar-
ing that they were only tricks of the Re-
publicans TO retain places in the view OF
probable change of administration at the
next election. Calling upon Senator Cam
erOn to-day with Republican friend, the
former took occasion to speak in terms
more forcible than elegant of the various
civil service propositions, denOuncing all
Of them as damned frauds. These express
sions indicate at least that substantial Op-
position to the measures proposed will be
found on both sides of the chamber.
