The cruiser Marblehead left Newport

her wake in a few days. as 1t has been
deemed necessary to keep two vessels in
that vicinity for the present. The Atlanta
is in need of slight repairs and will go to
the Norfolk navy yard for that purpose.
These will not take more than five days
time None of the officers of the ship has

prospective service near the isthmus. and
the report that an effort is being made to
detain the ship in the navy yard Is regarded
by their friends as an uncalled-for slander.

MIR. BRECKINRIDGE'S POSITION.
He "VOluntarily'' Relinquishes the
Charge of the Deficiency Bill.

1t is about settled now that Mr.. W. c. p.
Breckfnridge Of Kentucky will not take
charge Of the general deficiency bill in the
House. That bill will probably be in charge
of Mr.. Sayers. chairman of the committee.
1t has been known for some time that
there was a strong sentiment in the House
and in the committee against the Kentucky
members managing the bill on the floor, on
account OF the unpleasant notoriety which
he has recently acquired. The situation
caused a great deal of embarrassment as
Mr. Breckenridge always acted upon the
assumption that as a matter of course he
would have charge of the bill, and 1t was
very delicate matter to speak to him about
Finally, 1t Is understood the matter has
been settled by the request being made of
him formally to relinquish the control of
the BILL 1t is said that he will "volun-
tarily' surrender the management Of the
bill. upon the grounds that his canvass is
taking up so much Of his time
The statement that Mr. Breckinridge i'm
properly drew salary for the time ne was
absent from Congress is incorrect. In his
certificate he deducted the pay for those
days he was absent after the enforcement
of the law was ordered.

The SOCIAL WORLD.
The Charity Ball Last Night Was a
Brilliant Affair.
MANY PROMINENT PEOPLE PRESENT
A Delightful Reception at Tangle-
bank.
MANY SOCIAL HAPPENINGS

Another charity ball has gone into his
tory. Participated in by many of the most
prominent in society. and enjoyed by many
others who mingle less frequently in the
gay world, II gave pleasure to those to
whom its sights and scenes were an oft
told tale, and realized the expectations Of
others who were present at Washington's
Dig annual ball for the first time. The
hines' hall was very deliberately decorated
Tor the event. Crimson draperies made
glowing lines Of color, fine palms filled the
windows and the stage, with a crimson
background, had a pyramid Of tall palms
nassed with good effect and under whose
spreading branches white wicker furniture
placed around made an attractive setting.
The Marine Band furnished the dance
music and, commencing at 10. it was just
about this morning when the last num-
bers were played. The program consisted Of:
March-'-The Children" Fanciulu
Polka-"Nadjy," waldteufel
Waltz-"Toreador," waldteufel
Polka-"Wein Bleibt Wein," Scrammel
Lanciers-'Isle of Champagne" Furst.
Waltz-"Daily Thoughts" Tragina.

Two Step (narch)-"The Marine Band"
Fanciulli.
Waltz-"Chrysanthemu Depret
Polka-"Jolly Students" Fahrbach.
Neither the President nor Mrs. Cleveland
were expected. and consequently the ball
opened itself after the usual fashion. The
other notables who had promised to attend
and who kept their word most nobly knew
that they would be late on account Of other
engagements, and, therefore, came when
the evenings enjoyment was at its height.
In this party were the Vice President, who
escorted his niece, Miss Letitia Scott; Sec
Rotary and Mrs. Gresham, Secretary and
Mrs. Lamont, and the Postmaster General
and Mrs. Bissell. Their entrance in the
ball room created a thrill OF excitement.
They made the tour of the floor after being
received by the reception committee. and
before midnight had gone home.
