WASHINGTON, January 1.-Sen-
eral Arlhur's public reception to-day
was cut short by one of the most
dramatic incidents that ever took
place within the walls of the White
House. The reception commenced
promptly at eleven O'Clock, and
progressed with remarkable success
until a few minutes after IL o'clock.
The Cabinet, members of the diplo-
matte corps, Senators, members,
Associate Justices of the Supreme
Court, and officers of the army and
navy bad all passed through the
Blue Room and given the President
a New Years greeting. The various
heads of divisions in the depart
ments had just commenced to pass
through when Judge Elisha II. AL
len, the dean of the diplomatic
corps by virtue of being the longest
resident minister here, passed INTO
one of the cloak rooms adjoining the
quarters assigned to the Marine
Band, in search of his overcoat. He
was accompanied by his young son
and the Minister from Denmark.
Just before entering the cloak room
Judge Allen rubbed his hands and
remarked that he wis feeling very
we'll to-day. A few moments later
he was lying on the marble floor OF
the room, gasping for breath. He
was taken with a sudden attack of
heart disease as he was reaching up
after his coat, and did not speak af-
forwards. The scene that followed
was dramatic. In the next room
the Marine Band, ignorant OF what
mad happened in the cloak room,
continued to play a very lively air.
Physicians were called and every
thing WAS done to relieve the dying
minister, but fifteen minutes after
ne fell he ceased Ia breathe. His
son, young boy of eighteen, refused
10 believe that his father was dead.
Assistant Secretary of State John
Dayi, took him in charge and did
all that he could To comfort him.
THE RECEPTION STOPPED.
As q o as the doctors found that
Judge Allen was dead the President
WAS notified. At this time very few
people were aware of the occurrence.
General Arthur was chatting pleas
antly with his associates, and all
through the White House the sound
of laughter and music was heard.
To those in the small cloak room it
sounded strange. Inside of five
minutes all was changed. The Presi-
dent at once stopped the reception,
only allowing the bureau officers
coming in to pass through. The
music ceased there was "A hush OF

American, having been born in

Hawaii by President Taylor. Sub
~sequently, owing to interna! trouble
in that country, he accepted the po-
sition of Minister OF Finance, and
afterwards became Chief Justice and
Regent Of Hawaii. Finally ne was
made envoy to this country. He
had no intention of returning to his
adopted country. His daughter, one
of the best known society young la
dies at the capital, was absent to-
day, being detained in Maine at the
bedside of her grandmother.
