CLEVELAND GIVES A DINNER.
It Is the First of the onioial Season at
the Mansion.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The first state
dinner of the official social season was
given tonight at the executive mansion
1t was an elaborate affair, both in menu
and decorations, the lavishness of the lat
ter being unprecedented on similar occa-
sions. The tasteful arrangement of the
state dining room, where the table was
laid, was a subject of remark by the
guests. Potted plants and cut flowers,
the usual white house decorations, were
used, but their profusion made the room a
veritable tropical bower. Never be-
fore, perhaps, in it's history was the
spacious east room so luxuriantly adorned
in floral appointments. Great palms
were banked together from end to end of
the apartment, oleanders ten feet high
filled hooks and corners, while smilax
wreaths fell gracefully from the chande-
liers. The hreplaces, mantels and win
dows were masses ofagrowing plants and
no available space was left untitled. The
blue room, the red room. and the green
room, as well as the main corridor, were
also elaborately ornamented with similar
dec orations.
THE GUESTS.
The guests went to the dining room at
1880 O'Clock, to the music of the United
States marine band, stationed in the pub
lie lobby. The President and Mrs. Ste
venson led the way, followed by the Vice
President and Mrs. Cleveland, and the
members of the cabinet with the ladies of
the cabinet circle. led by Secretary

the troops Of the United States, and
showed conclusively, to his own mind, at
least, that the revolution was entirely in
dependent of the official influence of this
country. Senator Butler, who had not
been present at any of the previous meet
ings, was especially interested in the mar
rative of Prof. Alexander, and asked him
many questions concerning the people of
all races, on the island, all of which were
answered to the apparent satisfaction of
the senator.

WASHINGTON CITY. july 26.-The
secretary of the interior, in a decision
rendered in review of the case of the
Northern Pacific railroad VS.. Jennie L.
Davis, holds that under the grant to
the Northern Pacific the secretary of
the interior had no power to make a
withdrawal of indemnity lands for the
benefit OF the company. The question
involved is the same as that in the
celebrated case of the Northern Pacific
vs. Gui)ford Miller, decided in 1888
by Secretary Villas, whose ruling is
sustained by Secretary Smith. This
decision effects the title to the homes
of hundreds of settlers throughout
Washington, Montana and all Pacific
coast stations.
