BORN IN THE WHITE
Little Ones Who First Opened Their
Eve. I'm the Old Mansion.

Irst al President Cleveland was the hrst
chief executive to be married in the Whlte
House, So too, is the baby upon whom the
whole nation smiles lovingly today the nrst
child of a President to be born unuer rs
roof. The record Of births in he old man
sion is shorter than the list of the mar
riages. and, sad enough, doubling them both
would not cover the number of deaths and
funerals there. OF the babies who first saw
the light of day in the old house. and II
they lived the world has not forgotten un-
der what lucky star they made their de-
but, probably only two are living until this
happy event added another.
One is Mrs. Mary Emily Donelson- Wilcox.
daughter Of Andrew Donelson. nephew Of
President Jackson and the private secre-
tary and confidential adviser of "Old Hick-
DRY" during his entire official life. and the
other Is Julia Dent Grant, the first child
born to Col. and Mrs. Fred Grant and now
young lady just past sweet sixteen.
Mr.. and Mrs. Donelson had two other chill
dren born in the White House. which with
a grandchiid of President jefferson and an
other Of President Tyler complete the list.
OF christening fetes in consequence of
these happy additions to the census of the
District some stand out as marked occa-
sions. Mrs. Wilcox has said of the event
OF which she was the smallest but at the
same time the most important parsonage:
Both houses were invited and for a few
minutes was Of more Importance than any
of the great diplomats, jurists or statesmen
at the capital. Over near the big window
OF the east room the ceremony was per-
formed. Uncle Jackson holding me in his
arms and Martin Van Buren, standing as
godfather. while Miss Cora Livingston,
daughter of the Secretary of State and the
reigning belle and beauty of that adruinis-
tration. took upon herself the responsible
ties Of godmother. I was said to have be-
haHed very well during the ceremony"
When Miss Julia Dent Grant was christ
ened the company invited by President and
Mrs. Grant assembled in the blue ROOM
where the ceremony occurred
The last christening to take place in the
blue room was during the first part of Pres
ident Harrison's term, when his grand
daughter. Mary Lodge Mckee, was hap

They Are Finding Their Way 60 IN.
Treasury tor Redemption.

An innocent-looking little In intro iuced
by Mr.. Morgan in the Senate this morning
brings to the surface the fact that tie
worlds Columbian silver half dollars is
sued in aid Of the fair. are rapidly drifting
back into the treasury. The bin is INTENDED
to release the Secretary o. the Treasury
from the compulsory redemption Of sui,si-
diary coin, and IL was inlrodcced at his
request. Its speedy passage viii be urged.
Under the law approved June 2. 1879. the
holder OF any silver coins of smaller de-
nominations than one dollar can. on pre-

section of the act directs any treasurer OF

to exchange them I'm sums Of so or any null
uple thereof for lawful money on demand
of the holder.
What is the effect OF this law becomes a
pertinent question I'm view of the position
to repeal IL. IL appears that there Is now
rushing to the treasury Of the United States
from all parts OF the country an enormous
volume of subsidiary coins. and a not in
considerable part OF that coin is coming
from Chicago. This is due. as explained
by a Senator this morning. to the fact that
the Columbian half dollars pledged TO the
banks by the wo-ld's fair management
have not proven profitable Investment 50
the banks have taken advantage of this
law and are forwarding them to the sub
treasures for redemption and receiving
therefor treasury notes.
In addition to these half dollars die law
applies equally to all subsidiary coin, ana
every dollar OF such coin coming 10 he
treasury in conformity to this iaw is re-
deemable in treasury notes. and naturally
these notes are redeemable in gold. ID IS 10

coin that the Secretary of the Treasury de-
sires the law repealed. The third section Of

denomination than one dollar legal tende.i

NO COMPROMISE.
The President Quoted as Being OPP
posed to Anything of the Kind.

A distinguished Senator who called on
President Cleveland today said: II told the
President that had come to get from him
a personal REPUTATION or confederation Of
these everlasting rumors of his agreeing to
a compromise Of some character on the sill
yer situation. I told him that he knew that
was favorable to unconditional repeal. I
1 said also that 1 had taken 1t upon myself
knowing him as I thought I did-to deny
these rumors, but Mr.. President" added
"some of these rumors are clothed with the
garb of authoritative origin, and l think it
is due to me and your other sincere friends
in the Senate to let us know your exact po-
stion in the matter"
II concluded by saying that I believed
comprimise unnecessary, and that these
rumors are doing us harm. The President
said very decidedly. There is no truth in
any rumor or report of compromise. You
may deny all such most emphatically. and
know that you are telling the truth. There
will be no compromise. This repeal b.ll
must pass without condition, and it will
pass without condition. He asked me
when 1 thought vote woul1 be reached
and / prophesed two weeks. He said that
such was his calculation also"

REJECTION OF HOME RULE.
The Largest Vote Yet Cast by the
House of Lords.


Special Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star.
LONDON, Sept 9.-The farcical proceed

night in the inevitable rejection Of the
home rule bill. The whole thing was so
Transparent as to excite only feelings of
resentment and disgust The magnificent
setting of the historic house with the gal

character OF the debate. which was only
heved by the ora,Orical flashes Of Rose

that the bill which occupied months of dis

that over fifty peers who last night partici-
pated in the rejection of the great popular
measure had not until this week even pre-
eented themselves to be sworn in.
