at quarter before ten o'clock, but
they came in so quietly at the main
entrance of the south side of the build
ing that only those gathered about the
door were aware of their presence.
The party were ushered up to the main
staircase to the front. where they re-
ceived the most distinguished guests.
Gen. Wilson made the presentations,
and to each of those who paid their re-
spects President Mckinley gave a cor
dial handshake. President and Mrs.
Mckinley and the remainder of the
party, descended to the dancing floor.
The president, with Mrs. Mckinley on
his arm, moved slowly along, smiling
and bowing in response to the low
murmured greetings from both sides.
The party entered a supper room at
the west end of the building and par
took of light refreshments. In a few
minutes they emerged from the supper
room and returned as they had come,
through an aisle cleared for them. Mr..
and Mrs. Mckinley Immediately en-
tered their carriage and were driven
back to the white house. 1t was short
ly after II o'clock when they took their
departure. The ball was then formally
opened.

cent order of Secretary of the Interior

the Kansas contingent still in Wash

Greece Replies Firmly to Europe's Demands
for Withdrawal OF Troops.
LONDON, March 9.-The reply of
Greece to the identical notes of the
powers delivered at Athens last Tues
day and insisting upon the withdrawal
of the Greek troops from Crete and of
the Greek fleet from Cretan waters was
received here yesterday. 1t is concilia-
tory in tone, fully recognizing the
aims of the powers. 1t offers to with
draw the Greek feet from Cretan
waters and, while pointing out that
it is impossible to withdraw the Greek
troops from the island of Crete, it
will offer to place them under the
control of the powers to restore
order, and it meets the statement
about the Cretans really preferring
autonomy by suggesting that the
Cretans be allowed to choose their own
government by an election. A cabinet
council was Immediately held, after
which the marquis of Salisbury went
to Windsor to consult the queen.
There was great animation at the for
eign office, nearly every ambassador
calling during the day.

from the. white House Dinners.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-That no wine
will be served at the white house dur
ing the present administration was in
dicated by the dinner tendered to her
young relatives by Mrs. Mckinley FRI
day evening. The dinner was quite an
elaborate affair, yet the only liquids
served were mineral waters. In this
decision Mrs. Mckinley will follow her
family custom of many years. The
president is a consistant abstainer and
has ever obeyed the Scriptural injunc-
ton. During the recent campaign, al
though many noted statesmen were
quests at the Mckinley home and
tested the merits of the majors cui-
sine. no wines were served.

For some time past London oculists
have been directing the attention of the
community TO the very serious danger
caused by the electric light, the princi-
pal point being made against the uni
versal exposure of such lights, uncov-
cred, in the streets and in shops and Of
fees. One of the journals devoted TO
that industry explodes such fears by re-
marking that IL is not customary to
look at the sun, nor would even the most
enthusiastic electrician suggest that
naked arcs and incandescent filaments
are objects to gaze at without limit;
naked lights, however, are not usually
placed SO as to come within the line of
sight, and, while the filament of a glow
lamp is, on the other hand. more likely
to meet the eye, a frosted bulb is an ex-
tremely simple and common way of en-
tirely getting over the objection in
point. But while the whole trouble can
thus be easily remedied by the use of
properly frosted or colored glass globes,
the actual permanent injury to the eye
by the glowing filament is, in any case,
no greater than that due to an ordinary
