who had been advertised to speak on
the political questions of the day. By

The old soldiers wanted the court

/ The speaker at his first break came
down fiat-footed in the midst of the
tariff question and stuck there through

The Doctor has got the tariff ques-

eighty columns of nonpareil, and no

speech if itjeould all be delivered at

paid, but he did not explain that it is
on account of the protected farm pro-
ducts that they are so remunerated.
The Mills bill was lauded as a sort of

that the Golden club which is furnish

derstood the Doctors order and sent
him second or third grade article. .'

the audience knocked the speaker COM

fiCial.

~ don't like the idea OF such an early date for
holding the convention" remarked q we'll
known departmental democratic on1cial to
q STAR reporter this morning, land I'm
afraid that 1t is q mistake. Now in
view Of the Presidents message, In which
he has disclaimed all issues but that of the tariff
and has taken such strong ground on the surplus
question, 1t is but reasonable to expect that q
democratic House win support him by the intro
duction and passage of a tariff bill suited
to the principles that he has sdvanced.
1t is reasonable TO expect that say,
for believe that they all appreciate the almost
absolute certainty OF his denomination. OF
course there will be strong effort made
by the Administration democrats to accom-
plish this, but the majority ts small enough
to permit OF good deal Of nlibustering on the
bill. In fact, believe that the republican men,
bers all but three or four OF whom are adverse
to the Presidents theory, Will do their best to
defeat any tariff legislation. Therefore, It
Is with doubt that regard the early date OF the
convention, for, as we know, 1t takes q long time
for q tarin bill to get through the House, and
fear that the convention will not have
the proper materials for platform on
the line OF tariff reform. It would have been much
safer for the party II the date had been placed as
far on as the 1st OF August. BY the way, who Is
going to be the republican n0mineef" he suddenly
asked THE STAR reporter.
"Thars for you to say" replied the reporter.

An American Lady's Stunning Cos.
tune Excites General Attention.

Special Cable Dispatch TO THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, Feb 25.-The first drawing-room OF the
season was held by her majesty, the queen, yester
day at Buckingham Palace. As usual a brilliant
throng OF royal personages, ministers, ex-minis-
ters, ambassadors and other foreign representa-
uves were present, and made a dazzling display OF
stars, orders, and jewels. In accordance
with the intricate rules or court etiquette
the collars OF the different orders worn yes

Day. There was a great crush, although the
weather was not inviting 10 ladies, who in obedi-
ence TO the stringent rules OF the lord chamber
lain, were obliged 10 appear In lownecked dresses
Snow fell at Intervals. In spite OF this, however,
that historic promenade, the mall OF ST. James
Park was filled as FAR as The eye could reach with
splendid eQuIpages, containing ladies In
THE LATEST TRIUMPHs OF MILLINERY ART.
The queen wore a black brocaded silk gown with
tulle drapery and jet trimmings. She also had on
a coronet OF diamonds and the famous Kohinoor
seemed likely 10 keep the Prince OF Wales from the
throne for many years yet TO come. the Princess
OF Wales, IT was thought, looked rather ailing
although as youthful as ever. She was attired IN
mignonette and gold Drocade over dress OF dark
Lyons velvet and brocade.
THE GREATEST SUCCESS OF ALL,
however, was achieved by an American lady, Mrs.
Parkinson Sharpe, whose train OF exquisite bro
cade wherein all kinds OF soft bright colors were
skillfully intermingled was the general theme OF
admiration. Among the diplomatic body was
Minister Phelps. Mrs. Phelps presented 10 her
majesty Madame FonSeca vaz, wife OF the Portu-
guese naval attache here. Ia spite OF the brilliant
gathering there was something cold and Qepress-
Ing In the atmosphere or Buckingham Palace
