NEW YEARS DAY.
Receptions Are Falling Into Desue-
tude, But Official Circles Still
Hold to the Old Custom.
The Reception at the White House
Was the Chief Point of Interest
at Washington.
Mild hammered Woman Who Wanted
to Take Possession of the Presi-
Dental Residence.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-New Years
opened bright and clear, with more SNAP
and crispness in the air than during the
holiday week. The day is more observed
here than in other cities throughout the
country, and while the custom of keep
ing open house is falling into desuetude
with the more fashionable set, official
society observes the custom, and in
many houses parties were made up to
receive all callers. These receptions,
however, do not begin till afternoon, and
the event in the morning and early
afternoon, was the presidential recep-
ton at the White House. The executive
mansion had been made especially at
tractive for the occasion. The floral
decorations were tasteful, but not elab-
crate.
The official programme for the presi-
dents reception was as follows:
IL a. m.-The president received the
vice president, the members of the cab
met and the diplomatic corps.
11:15.-The chief justice, the asso-
ciate justices of the supreme court of
the United States, the judges of the
United States court CT claims, the
judges of the court of appeals and the
United States supreme court of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
11:3U.-Senators, representatives and
delegates in congress, the commissioners
of the District of Columbia and the
judicial officers of the district. ex-
members of the cabinet and ex-minis-
ters of the United States.
11:45.-Officers of the army, navy and
marine corps.
II m.-Regents and secretary of the
Smithsonian institution, the civil service
commissioners, the interstate commerce
commission, the assistant secretaries of
departments, the assistant postmasters
general, the solicitor general, the assis-
tant attorneys general, the commissioner
OF labor, the heads of the bureaus of the
several departments and the president
OF the Columbian institute for the deaf
and dumb.
1915 p. m.-The Associated Vet
Grams of the War of 1S4S, the Grand
Army of the Republic, the Loyal Legion
and he members of the Oldest Inhabi-
tants Association of District of Column
bia.
12:35.-Reception of citizens which
terminated at 2 p. IN.
The arrangements for the reception
were interrupted about 10 o'clock by an
untoward incident, which fortunately
occurred at an hour when it could not
mar the reception. A mild hammered
woman, evidently of unbalanced mind,
arrived early at the house with the an
nouncement that she was there to take
possession. She was politely shown
through the lower floors of the building
by Captain Dexter, the chief usher, and
then quietly escorted away by a police
man.

4 MONTANA EXHIBIT.
Active Steps Being Taken to See that
Montana Is Represented.

Active Steps Being Taken to See that
Montana Is Represented.
Governor Richards has been taking
active steps to see what Montana can do
in the way Of a mining exhibit at the
Midwinter fair at San Francisco, says
the Helena Herald. The money left
over from the appropriation for the
Montana Worlds fair exhibit cannot be
touched, so that which is most needed to
make a creditable showing, about five
thousand dollars, will have to be raised
by popular subscription. The feeling
prevails throughout Montana that we
should be represented, at least by a min
eral exhibit, and there is no doubt but
that this sum can be raised in a very
short time. 1t is of great Importance
TO Montanians, especially to mine own
ers, that Montana's greatest resource
should have some sort o. a showing, and,
with the exception Of Idaho, Montana is
the only state in the west that has not
,creed 10 make an exhibit at the Mid.
winter fair.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-Secretary
Hoke Smith has under consideration an
important case relating to the school
lands of the West. 1t involves the ques-
ton whether double minimum lands
may be selected as indemnity for losses
OF single minimum lands for school pur-
poses. The department has always held
that such selections cannot be made, but
it is probable that these former rulings
will be reversed by Secretary Smith.

Fosters

TIFFIN, o., Dec. 30.-A few weeks
ago, after Ex-Governor Charles Foster
had completed his negotiations to secure
the funds, arrangements were made
with the creditors committee to settle
at % cents on the dollar, but since that
time j. B.. Gormley, assignee, says that
errors have been discovered in the work
OF the appraisers, which upset the whole
arrangement and which will require
MIR. Foster to raise a much larger sum
than he was led to believe would be re-
Quired.

Desires to Protest Against the Recog-
milton of "Rats" and "ScoundreIs."
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 3.-Mrs. Lease
has sent the following telegram to the
state Federation or Labor in session at
Leavenworth:
President Labor Federation. Care c. F.
Neesley, Printers Union. Leayen-
worth, Kan.
l desire to join my voice with yours
and tender time and money in
denouncing the executive power that
has recognized rats and ''scoun-
drels" and ignored the labor ~organiza-
tons. The principles of the Peoples
party are eternal and unassailable.
Through them we will triumph, but the
coward betraying the trust and cause of
the people will pass out of sight by the
labOring vote.

BEYOND.
Believed the Senate mmit VIII d
Deeper Into the Hawaiian Business.

Believed h Senate Committee VIII d
Deeper Into the Hawaiian Business.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-The air of
m MYSTERY assumed by the senate commit
tee on foreign relations in the Hawaiian
investigation gives the impression that
Senator Morgan's resolution, under
which the inquiry is held, is only a cloak
under which is held a more important
inquiry into our diplomatic relations
with those islands. There is reason to
believe that while presumably the pres
emit question for information bearing
upon the conduct of Stevens and Blount
there will be IN effort at the same time
to obtain any information which will,
in the first place, prove the capability
OF the islands for self government, and
in the second, the desirability or other
wise of annexing these islands at some
time in the future.
Believes i'm Annexation.
1t ia understood perfectly by members
OF the committee who might have this
IN view that there is no hope of annex
ing the islands under the present admin
lstration, but those who favor this dis
position of the little kingdom do not in
tend to be swerved from their purpose
by the fact that one administration is
opposed to this course. Senator Morgan,
who is chairman of the committee, has
been scrupulously careful about express
ing opinions upon the Hawaiian ques-
ton, manifesting a disposition to do or
say nothing which would appear extra
judicial, but he is known to be a firm
believer in the wisdom of attaching the
islands to this country as a part
OF 1t, just as Alaska is at
present attached, and the fact that he
has very recently introduced a bill in the
senate providing a form of government
for any acquired territory, lends plausi-
bility to the supposition that he is look
ing forward to possibilities far beyond
anything included in the resolution
under which the committee is author
lied to conduct its present hearing.
There is
A Plausible Explanation
OF the origin of the bill, and without
end like the acquisition of Hawaii
In view. it is difficult to find any reason
for its existence. Those who know Nor
gan best say he is not the man to attempt
to secure legislation to fit a sup
position. 1t would appear probable that
when the committee reports, it will, SO
far as Mr.. Morgan can direct the char
acter OF the report, smooth over the
events with which they We're concerned
and declare that a closed era.
In the meantime Minister Thurston,
who is now in Hawaii, will have been
heard from as to the capacity of the
government for temporarily
managing the affairs of the islands, and
his information with the corroborating
testimony which the committee will be
able to get together in the meantime,
may have an important bearing upon
future of the committees investiga-
lions.

Extend the Jenkins Ruling.

SEATTLE, Dec. 30.-The Northern Pa
ciic Railroad company at 10 o'clock a.
IN. secured an injunction from United
States District Judge Hartford against
the employees, similar to the one granted
In Milwaukee. The injunction was in
the hands of deputy United States mar
shals, who will see that it is served at
all points along the line if occasion re.

Sore on Jenklns.

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 30.-The Voer-
warts, the organ of the Socialists, is ter
rlbly enraged against Judge Jenkins in
restraining the Northern Pacific I'M
ployes from striking. In commenting
on the judges order the paper used
the following forcible and signif-
cant language: Judge Jenkins
should have lived 100 years
ago. He would then have prob
ably issued an injunction %forbidding the
colonists to begin the revolution. It is
very questionable whether the judge in
the case of a revolution could issue a
Judicial order prohibiting the people
from hanging him.

Would Impeach Waite,

DENVER, Jan. "A special from
Lake City says: At a meeting of the
citizens of Hinsdale county resolutions
were adopted instructing their repre-
sentatives in the general assembly to
bring impeachment charges against
Governor Waite and then work for an
immediate adjournment of the extra
session. This is brought about by the
governors determination to call the
legislature together and his recent row
with the warden of the penitentiary.

POSTAL MATTERS.
The Carriers to Be Supplied with
Straps For Securing Bundles
~ Mail Matter.


Postns etar Hare yesterday received a
number OF neat leather straps for the
convenience of the carriers in deliver
ing mail. Heretofore the carriers have
been compelled to use twine in securing
the different packages of letters and
papers, and as each letter or paper is
taken out of its respective package the
carrier is either compelled to re-fasten
the string or run the risk OF dropping
some of the letters. The department Iii
tends to stop the using of twine for this
purpose in the different offices through
out the country, as the following ex-
tract from the Postal Record will show;
"An investigation recently made by
the free-delivery division develops the
fact that great quantity of twine is
annually consumed by letter carriers IN
tying up and routing mail for delivery.
Reports show that 274,0OO pounds OF
twine were used by letter carriers last
year, an average of about 2S pounds
per carrier. Inasmuch as the twine
used costs 7.S cents per pound, this rep
resents a yearly outlay of about $780,
900.
This large expenditure for twine can
be dispensed with by furnishing car
riers with straps. A quantity of straps
sufficient to supply all carriers with an
average of four straps, will cost $4,000.
AS the life of strap considering wear
tear and loss, may be safely estimated
at four years, the cost per annum will
be between $1,000 and $1,50O. This
amount, as against $4,000 for twine,
will show net saving to the govern
ment of $4,000 to $4,000.
STRAPS have been used by the car
riers at the Washington city postoffice
for number of years, and it has been
beyond question that they
are a positive convenience, as well as a
saver of time.
"On July /, 1894, every free-delivery |
office should be furnished with guam
tity of straps sufficient to amply sup
ply each carrier, and after that date
the use of twine by letter carriers be
prohibited.
