PAN-AMERICANs DINE.
Mr.sAndrew Carnegie's Banquet u mo
Elaborate One.

The banquet given last evening by
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie at the Arlington
to the Pan-Americans was in point of
floral decorations what the host in
tended it should be, the most elaborate
ever given in Washington, which as a
city is justly celebrated throughout
the Union for the magnificence of the
dinners official and private given here
during the course OF the season.
Small was given carte blanche in the
matter, and the result was scene of
beauty which will long be remembered
by every guest present. The walls of
the octagonal shaped room were com
pletely covered with ferns, ivy leaves
and fan palms imbedded in moss. At
The end of the room facing the door a
buffet of carved oak was banked with
ferns, above which on the wall were
two silk flags of the Union crossed
among the palms, while on either side
were massive groupings of tropical
plants. The corridor opening out from
the dining room. and through which
the guests passed on entering, was deco
rated with growing plants in similar
manner.
A unique centrepiece to the immense
circular table, about which sat fifty
guests, was a four-leaf clover formed
of maiden s-hair fern. with a gracefully
curved stem of darker green in ivy
leaves. From the middle of this rose a
great cluster of long stemmed Magma
Charta roses. The spaces between the
leaves of the clover were filled in with
plats alternately of white and yellow
tulips. beyond which a deep band of
plush was bordered with dark green
ivy leaves, from between which peeped
sprays of lilies of the valley studded at
regular intervals with clusters of
Ulrich Bruner roses, surrounded with
white heather. Boutonnieres were of
pink and white heather and orchids.

NORTH DAKoTA's BLUNDER.
Every Measure Passed by Its LegIsla-
ture Said to be Illegal

New York, Feb. 26.-A special from
Bismarck, N. d., TO the World says;
The best parliamentarlan in the Legis-
lature says every measure passed by
that body is illegal. The ground for
this startling proposition is in the or
ganization of the Legislative Assembly.
The Governor convened the Legisla-
ture on November 10, as provided in
section II of the schedule of the State
constitution, which said that the Leg
islature should convene for the purpose
of electing two United States Senators.
The said section says nothing about
any other business than the election of
Senator'S. The Legislature, however,
after electing Senators took up its
regular work and proceeded as in regu-
lar session.
A further mistake was made when the
Legislature met in January that it did
not reorganize and enter upon regular
session. Now it is neither special nor
regular.

TROUBLE IN A CHURCH.
Two Rival Aspirants for the Pastorat'
a IfaIH

III inc y Ilelut
A notice appeared in the Washington
Bee last Saturday stating that the Rev.
w. II. Philips would probably succeed
the late William j. Walker as pastor of
the Shiloh Baptist Church. Several
members Of the Church took exception
to the remarks Of the Bec and inserted
notice in one Of the papers denying
the report.
". Calvin Chase was seen last night,
and when questioned about the state.
ment published in his paper, the Bee,
said There are two factions in the
church. One party wants the Rev. w.
III. Philips for pastor, while the minor
ity wants Mr.. w. II Scott to occupy the
pulpit. The followers of Mr.. Philips
are in the lead and he is likely to be
elected to the pastorate. The last no
tice that appeared, think, is due en-
tirely to jealousy on the part of the fol-
lowers Of Mr.. Scott"
Mr.. w. H. Scott and Deacon Brooks
were found at the Shiloh Baptist
Church, and when questioned about
the notice said in substance that Mr..
Chase is not member of the congrc.
cation, and knew nothing about the
church. They deny that there is a
split or that the congregation wants a
new pastor at present.

Capitol Gossip.
One of the most notable features at
the House of Representatives at yester-
days session was the absence of Con
gressmen from New York and Chicago,
and many remarks were passed around
in consequence. The only members
from the former city to be seen were
Spinola and Cummings, and of the
latter, nobody. Rumor had it that the
Chicago people did not wake up after
their nights jubilee until after Con
gress adjourned, while the members
from New York, with the two eXcep-
tions mentioned, could not nerve them
selves up to sufficient moral courage to
face the Chicago members, and were
simply waiting until the edge wore off
of the gossip before putting in an ap-
pearance.
EX Congressman Colonel Truman A.
Merrtman from New York was seen
strolling around the lobbies yesterday
afternoon with spring overcoat on his
arm, and some heartless fellow said that
the little Colonel was inquiring whether
New York received any votes for the
fair. But the men he inquired of were
from Chicago, and they answered him
with:
New York? Let me see. Why.
where is New York;
Friends of the metropolis that received
such an inglorious defeat in the fight on
Monday are consoling themselves in all
manner of ways, while the Chicago
people stand Off and smile in a most
tantalizing manner.
Dame Gossip gave it out in the lob
bies yesterday afternoon that Chicago
is just 800, 900 poorer than she was on
Sunday uight.
"What caused New York's defeat?"
was asked of Congressman Amos j.
Cummings. He answered.:
Twenty four Republicans from the
New England and Eastern States, aud
one Democrat from Boston, all of the
Southern Republicans and nearly all of
Texas voted for Chicago. This is what
defeated New York.
1t was authoritatively stated that Col
onel Thomas Ochiltree, the gilt-edged
Texan New Yorker made a dead set
against New York as the site for the
Worlds Fair. The brilliant haired
gentleman was discovered in Congress
on the outside of the little gilt railing
while the voting was going on, surround
ed by Congressman. He was saying:
Now, gentlemen, in giving New York
the Worlds Fair you are giving only
so much more power to Tammany
Hall, which means untold injury to the
Republican party in the State
1t was heard, as coming from New
York politician in the rotunda yester-

Representative Mills of Texas, who
has been regarded as the head of

any Worlds Fair, said that
he and the others opposed TO the fair
would content themselves with voting
mo" when the bill came before the
House for final passage. He
said further that the bin would, in his
opinion, unquestionably pass the House.

Committee, has no doubt but the bill
will pass the House without trouble.

as they would have expected
Chicago to support New York
had that city won. The New York or

is that the bill will, pass the Senate

toned diplomacy and dignity, decline

TN Special Wire 10 The CriHc.1
The Worlds Fair Committee of
the House discussed Chicago as
a site for the Worlds Fair
oday. - The general bill was
taken up by the Commission and
amended by inserting the name Chi.
cago and then referred to sub.com-
mittee consisting of Messrs Cand-
Ter, Hit and Springer for
perfection. The subcommittee was
directed to report q full bill that will
cover the desires of the Chicago people.
Mr.. Hit explained to the Committee
what the Chicago people desired. He
stated that Chicago and the State of
Illinois were willing to conform
to any changes that might be made
in the bill in the House. Concern.ng
the Government appropriation of 81 800
600 provided for in the bill, Mr..
Hit said that the representatives of
Chicago had not asked for this, and
they were willing to abide by any re-
duction in the deal that might be made.
There seemed to be disposition on
the part of the opponents Of Chicago,
a site for the fair and of the opponents
cut out this appropriation. The Chi
cago people would be perfectly willing
to agree to this. If it were accom-
plished, the fact that the money pledged
to Chicago had been secured under n
corporation chartered by the State of
Illinois, should, said Mr.. Hit, be
recognized. The fair itself the represen
tatives of Chicago preferred to hold
under national character.
Concerning the commission of one
hundred, Mr., Hit said that it was pre-
ferred that half Of its members should
be nominated by the Governor of Till
nois and half by the Mayor of Chicago,
to be appointed by the President. 1t was
also preferred that the two commits.
sioners from each State should be
of the two political parties. Mr.. Hit
thought it would be well to prohibit
the commissioners from voting by
proxy.
Mr.. Springer spoke briefly on the
Government appropriation. Before
taking any action on this matter
he thought it would be well to
ascertain Just how much money is
needed, and then make the appropria-
ton conform to that.
Mr.. Springer offered resolution re.
questing the Secretary of the Treasury
to furnish the committee with an esti-
mate Of the cost of the buildings
necessary for the Government exhibits,
the cost of placing the exhibits in the
buildings, and the cost of their care
and safe return to places where they
belong.
This resolution was passed and the
committee adjourned.
