The programme had been arranged,
as is customary. for the admission of
the different classes of officials in the
the order Of their rank. Usually the
vice president is the first to pay his re-
spects to the president. but this year
Mr.. Stevenson is South on account of
the illness of his daughters.
The president took position near the
west door, next to Gel. Wilson and
Lieut.. Gilmore, who were charged with
the duty Of introducing the callers by
name TO the presidential party. Mrs.
-,
president, and the ladies of the cabinet
IN line. The members of the cabinet
joined the party in the rear, and the re-
ception began.s
The Diplomatic Corps
had gathered early, and, under Private
Secretary Thurber's charge, had been
marshaled in the red room. AS the
representatives of sovereign nations,
they were accorded first place in the
ceremonies. The corps made mag
niticent display as it entered the blue
room, headed by Sir Julian PauneefOte,
the British ambassador, with his tall and
erect figure clad in brilliant diplomatic
dress, and his broad chest fairly blazing
with the diamond star of the Garter and
other orders of nobility. The diplo-
matte body was not i'll haste In paying

for some time in the blue room, Singing
out friends and scquaintances among
the party gathered in the rear
of the receiving lines, and chat
ting with one another. The
scene was attractive and gave oppor>
tunity for comparison Of social GUS
toms of different nations as represented
by the ambassador and ministers and
their ladies. The Chinese particularly
attracted attention in the rich silk and
unique ques. and every one admired the
pretty figure made by the wife of the
Chinese minister, Chang Yu. The
Austrian minister, Mr.. Hengenmuller,
was attired in d Hungarian uniform,
which in color and richness outshone
all others. Finally the diplomatic
corps passed slowly into the vast east
room and mingled with the crowd there
and the reception went on. By rights
the supreme court should have come
next. but they were belated and came
in after the other members of the ju.
dietary, court of claims, court of ap-
peals aud district Judiciary, they being
preceded by a number of senators and
representatives in congress.
The Prearranged Plan
was badly broken after the diplomatic
corps and judiciary had been received
Senators and members of congress were
slated to follow, but they arrived very
irregularly, and but few were in the first
section of callers. The number of mem.
bers of both houses was noted rs being
unnaturally small. Hardly more than
twenty senators were to be seen. There
were more Republicans than Democrats
among them. Among those present
were Senators Sherman, Teller, Dubois,
Mcpherson. George, Call, Lodge, VOL
colt and PETER. The members of the
house were scattered generally through
the line that followed for the next half
hour. Gen. Horatio King was in the
section allotted to ex-cabinet ministers
and ex-ministers of the United States
to foreign countries. The army and
navy were the only official bodies which
came in solid lines, and they were the
finest part of the exhibition from q
spectacular view, with their gold lace
glittering through the corridors and
their swords clanking martially. There
was notably large gathering of army
