OFFICIAL RECEPTION.
First of the Present Administration Given at
 the White House.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The first official re- ception of the present administration was given at the white house this evening Aside from the fact that 1t was the first, interest in the event centered in the new method of distributing the invitations so that only a certain proportion of those en- titled to the hospitality of the executive mansion would be entertained in single evening. The plan, so far could be judged from appearances, was an entire success. While 2,OO0 invitations had been distributed and in spite of a very rainy evening, every one who was invited ap- peared. There was no crush in any part of the house during the evening, and the whole affair was commented upon as one of the most pleasant and the least labori- ous of the big gatherings that has ever occurred in the mansion.
 The receiving party consisted of the president and Mrs. Mckinley, the vice president and Mrs. Hobart, and the mem- bers. and ladies of the cabinet. All of these were present except Secretary Alger, who was still too i'll to venture out and Mrs Bliss and Mrs. Long, each of whom was represented by her daughter. When the house party entered from the upper hall it was noted that Mrs. Mckinley was leaning on the arm of the president, revers- ing the usual rule by which the president escorts the wife of the vice-president and the latter the mistress of the white house. The receiving party stood in the blue par Tor. Colonel Bingham and Lieutenant Gil more presented the guests. The reception of the diplomatic corps came first. Sir Ju- nan Pauncefote, as the dean of the diplo- matic corps, led the way, but did not as customary, remain to. present his colleagues to the president. The whole party from the British embassy continued through to the east room and left the white house almost imediately. Practically all of the diplomatic corps were present, including the Spanish minister.

 or Footing of Whistles

San Francisco, Jan. 19.-Unattended by civil or military escort, with no firing of cannon or footing of whistles, President Sanford B. Dole, of Hawaii, departed from San Francisco as he arrived, with the same lack of ceremony as would mark the movement of any traveller. He was driven down to the ferry at 5 p. m. in hack, which also conveyed Mrs. Dole, the presi- dents private secretary, Maj. Iakuea, and Consul General Wilder, of Hawaii.
 The boat which connects with the de- parting overland train leaves this side of the bay at o'clock, but to avoid publicity the island president crossed by an earlier boat, and at the Oakland side immediate sought the seclusion of the private car Guadaloupe, provided for him by the Southern Pacific company and attached to the eastbound train. The car was specially provisoned and equipped under the direc- ton of MT. Huntington, that the little pres idential party might enjoy every comfort on it's trip across the mountains. The route to Chicago will be over the Central and Union Pacific and the Chicago and North western roads.

QUARANTINE REGULATIONS.
Substitute flo Senator Caffery's Bill Reported
 by Senator Vest.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Senator Vest from the committee on quarantine and public health. today reported a substitute for Sem ator Caffery's bill providing regulations for quarantine. The bill as reported practically places the control of all matters pertaining to the quarantine service in the control of the federal government. Among other pro- visions, the secretary of the treasury is authorized to make regulations to prevent the spread of infectious diseases from one state to another, and -a cases where the state or municipal authorities refuse to en- force the rules the president is directed to execute them and to adopt such measures as he may deem necessary, including the appointment of officers, to prevent the spread of the diseases.
 Another provision is as follows:
 "Whenever yellow fever, cholera, plague. or typhus fever has passed the quarantines of the United States or in any manner gained entrance within the limits of any state or territory the quarantine regula- tions of the United States, for the purpose of preventing the spread of such disease from one state to another, shall be su- preme and have precedence of state or mu- nicipal laws, rules or regulations, and the president is authorized to enforce the same and control the movement of vessels. rail- road trains, vehicles or persons. so as to prevent those diseases from spreading from one state to another and prevent unneces- sary restrictions upon interstate com merce"
 The bill is a quite complete quarantine code. Heavy penalties are provided for the violation of its provisions.

SCENES REPEATED
 IN THE HOUSE
Continued From First Page.)

(Continued From First Page) they are now all free. This whole question is nearing a solution of it's own weight. Spain is bankrupt. She cannot send an- other man to Cuba. There are riots in Ha- vana. The handwriting has appeared on the wall"
 In reply to direct question as to why his subcommittee had not accepted the senate resolution, he said the committee had called for official information. We cannot rely on newspaper reports, when we see in this city the two sides of this ques- ton presented by different newspapers"
 Mr. Berry, (dem.) of Kentucky, eloquent ly plead Cuba's cause. After 100000 Cubans had gone down to their death during the last four years, he said, it was absurd for members to stand on the floor of the house and deny that a state of war exists on the island today.
 ''I do not fear war;" said MT. Berry; 'I think little blood-letting would be good for us. Let Spain fire on the American flag just once and the flame will be kindled that will free Cuba"
 "But what will happen to us?" asked MT. Mahany.
 "Oh, we can take care of ourselves" re- piled MT. Berry.
 After some further remarks by MT. Wheeler, (dem) of Kentucky, in favor of granting belligerent rights to the insur- gents, the committee rose and at o'clock the house adjourned

livered by a carrier. He thought the great point involved in the discussion of post office finances was the charge that there was an annual leakage of from sS, ,00O. 900 to s1O.0OO,OOO on account of the underweighing of mail matter.
 'It is most remarkable" said MT. Allen. 'that charges of such gravity should be made in the public prints and yet that the party in power should remain with ref erence to them as silent as the grave. If we only had the nerve to take hold of these frauds and eradicate them we should have money enough to put corps of ef- ficient letter carriers in every city in the landL''
 MT. Chandler objected to the present consideration of the Hoar resolution sug- gested by Mir Allison and 1t went over.
 MT, Tillman, of South Carolina, presented a resolution for which he asked immediate consideration, extending the authority of the interstate commerce commission so that 1t might inquire as to what extent railroad companies issue passes, whether the railroads gave transportation for any consideration than cash and what arrange ments they had with newspapers regard ing transportation.
 Mir. Cullom Objects.
 MT. Cullom, chairman of the committee, objected to the consideration of the resolu- tion, as it would involve long and tedious investigation by the committee, which was anxious to get some bill before congress during the present session. He said he had no desire to evade the truth in any part of the investigation. as-

much confusion and unnecessary work. He suggested that the council not appoint a board this year, but wait until the next and then start in before the tax assessor began assessing property He also sug- gested that the city not appraise property but once every two or three years.
 Alderman Kerr asked how the plan would work with property that had been improved. The tax assessor said the peo- pie of Birmingham were honest and would raise the property themselves when im- provements were made. On motion of AL derman Altman the matter was referred to the finance committee.
 On motion of Alderman Gray the sala- ries of the engineers in the fire department were increased from $T5 to sSO per month.
 resolution was offered, saying, in effect, that it was the sense of the board that no more sidewalk or street Improvements be made during 1898 without written re- quests from property owners. It was lost on tie vote. This recommendation was in line with a recommendation in the mayors report.
 An ordinance drawn up by Mayor Evans empowering the sale of various articles &C., cumulating in the police department, at auction, was passed. The goods will al- ways be held ten days, then advertised and sold. The money accruing therefrom will be held thirty days, and then put to the credit of a fund for sick and disabled po- licemen.
 Sunday Law Killed.
 The Sunday ordinance in regard to the sale or giving away of whisky was recalled. A hi di. nance was tie, and the mayor ruled that it should go over. The mayor explained last night that in ruling he understood the ordinance was on its third reading when the vote was a tie He had found out since that it was on its final passage and he therefore ruled that it was killed"

IN THE SENATE.

Washington, Jan. 19.-After the reading of the journal in the senate today, MT. Vest, of Missouri gave notice that he would at the conclusion of the morning business move to take up the Teller resolution, which was reported by the finance commit tee yesterday.
 A bill authorizing the attorney-general, the secertary of the treasury and the sec retary of war to compromise and adjust certain of the United States against the state of Tennessee, and the state of Ten nessee against the United States, was passed
 Mr. Hoar offered resolution relative to the recent order of the postmaster-genera reducing the number of letter carriers in some of the large cities on account of deficiency in the free delivery appropra- ton, the resolution providing that the com mittee on postoffices and postroads should immediately ascertain what amount was necessary to preserve the postal free de- livery service of the country. For his res olution MT. Hoar asked immediate consid- eration.
 MT. Wolcott, chairman of the postoffices and postroads committee, objected to the reference of the resolution to his commit tee. He said that the committee was ut terly powerless to afford relief for the trou- ble at which the resolution was directed He thought the resolution ought by all means to go to the committee on appro- priations. The committee on postoffices and postroads, he added, Is anxious to ex- tend and make more efficient the letter car rier system, but is powerless.
 The Question Important.
 MT. Hoar thought the question was ia most important one, affecting it does hundreds of thousands of people who re- ceive mail. "This order of the postmaster general" declared MT. Hoar, "created con sternation among business men. The order was based upon a deficiency in the appro- priation for free delivery of about $150,000 All that is needed to remedy the difficulty encountered by the postofffce department and which confronts the business men of the country is a small additional appropri- ation.'
 MT. Wolcott then called attention to the opposition of the publishers of New Eng land to the enactment of the bill restrict ing second-class matter.

tons and forwarded them 70 the Georgia
senator's in Congress.
But these resolutions wee not at all
