The Vice President Smashes Tradition in

The Vice President Smashes Tradition in
the Best Kind of Taste.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-The reception
rendered last night by Vice President and
Mrs. Morton to Vice President-elect and
Mrs. Stevenson, at their residence on Scott
circle, marked another deviation by Mr..
Morton from the traditions surrounding
his position. 1t was an unprecedented
thing for the outgoing vice president to be-
stow any recognition, official or social,
upon his successor, the exchange of such
compliments having heretofore been con-
fined to the occupants of the presidential
chair; but when the cards were issued Civ
ing notification of the vice presidents in
tentioD thus to honor his successor it was
felt 10 be gracious and proper courtesy.
Had Been Good Friends in Congress.
But the inspiration of the affair was
more than purely official Morton had
served in the house of representatives of
the Forty sixth congress with Stevenson,
and ever since there has existed between
them a sincere mutual esteem and regard.
In anticipation of the event the elegant
mansion had been decorated with palms,
ferns, foliage plants, and cut flowers Mr..
and Mrs. Morton received their guests in
the corridor out CT which rises the grand
staircase and which occupies the center of
the west end of the house At their side
stood Mr.. andMrs. Stevenson to whom the
passing thccng were introduced in turn by
the host
Nearly ''EVerybody'' Was There
1t was distinguished and representa-
tive gathering that greeted the new official
and his wife. The invitations numbered
| 600 and but few of :he recipients failed to
respond in person; but there was no crush
to interfere with the full enjoyment of
the event by all present. There were the
members of the senate, almost en- masse
| with whom Stevenson will be so intimately
| associated the next four years; members OF
the cabinet, assistant secretaries of the de-
| partments, heads of the bureaus, the New
York and Illinois delegations in the house
of representatives, the justices of the SUI
| preme court of the United States and Of
| the District of Columbia and court Of
| claims, the diplomatic corps in all the
brilliancy of the insignia of their several
orders and honors, the heads OF the army
and navy and a good sprinkling of the sub
| ordinate officers.

An Executive Session Held Under an
Agreement with the Den 0 rats

An Executive Session Held Under an
Agreement with the Den o rats
WASHINGTON, March 2.-After three in
effectual attempts to get an executive ses-
sion the Republicans were successful yes
terday, the understanding being however,
that nothing of disputed character should
be considered. Accordingly, when Sher-
man made the motion there was no opposi-
tion. The session lasts1 for half an hour.
and our effort was made 10 reconsider
| the vote by which the nomination of Mr..
John '. L. Findlay, of Maryland, to be
Chilian arbitrator, was rejected. The effort
was not very hearty one and met With
failure.
Not Republican Fight, Anyhow.
The Republicans looked upon the mat
ter as something for the Democrats to set
tie. Findlay was Democrat, and al
| though nominated by Harrison they said
he was opposed by the Maryland delega-
tion and they were willing to let it go at
that and permit Cleveland to make the
selection for the Office. The result being
apparent it is said that no formal vote
was taken and the rejection of the nom-
| inee was subsequently made public. The
| tacit agreement regarding disputed NOM
inations did not prevent the preliminary
steps being taken in the Hanchett nomina-
| ton.
Made 1t a Party Question.
| As soon as the executive session began
| this nomination was referred to the Judi
| ciary committee, and before it was over
the committee held a meeting on the floor
and by a strict party vote reported the
nomination favorably. OF course this was
as far as the matter could proceed yester.
day and Republicans admit that there i
little hope of the confirmation of Hanchett
