WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The actors
and actresses who took part in an enter
tainment at Albaugh's opera house for
the benefit OF the National Capital Press
club today had special reception by
President Harrison in his private office,
just prior to the opening Of the perform
ance. The visitors were introduced in
dividually and the president had q
happy word for each. He gave each OF
the ladies flower from large bouquet
on his desk.
Private Secretary Halford attended
the entertainment as the representative
OF the president. 1t was phenomenal
success, dramatically, pecuniarily and
socially. Both houses OF congress- ad-
journed to honor the occasion, and
quorum of each was present.
One of the speeches at the entertain
ment is the subject of discussion in
poll ,ical circles tonight. This was q
speech by Representative Fellows OF
New York. In beginning, he said:
"Being invited by the Press club to at
tend this performance, l will cheerfully
address the company, for the National
Press club does not invite speakers to
dinner without expecting speech"
The recollection of the Reform club
dinner in New York came to the spec
tators, and tremendous applause fol-
lowed. Tonight all Washington is talk
ing about Tammany's retort courteous

Steamship. Companies Given Hearing
at Washington.


Steamship Companies Given Hearing
at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-By invitation
representatives of various transatlantic
steamship companies we're before the
senate and house committees on immi-
grafton today to give their ideas con-
cerning the bill introduced in the senate
by Chandler, suspending immigration
for one year. Gustav H. Schwab
of New York presented the
case for the steamship men and
argued against the prohibition of immi-
grafton. He expressed the belief that
the magnificent development OF the
material resources OF our country was
due to the enormous immigration Of the
last half century. He argued that the
Americans would not and could
not perform the heavy manual
labor and menial service required in
the development Of the country; there
tore immigration was essential. Its sus-
pension could never be enforced, as the
northern and southern frontiers could
not be protected, and the danger from
cholera would be increased because
the quarantine could not be main
tanned on these frontiers. He
announced the willingness OF the steam
ship companies to maintain quarantine
at points of departure. He said Colonel
Weber's plan was the only feasible one.
In brief, that system provided for the
examination of emigrants before de-
parture by the steamship companies,
who are to be held liable for improper
