Col. bingham Selected for Master OF
CeremOnieS-Hc VIII Make
the Presentations.

Col Theodore A. Bingham, Corps of Eli
gireers in charge of public buildings and
grC unds has been selected by the PreSi-
dent to act as master of ceremonies at the
receptions to be given by the President and
Mrs Mckinley during the present season
He has charge of the issue of cards of in
vitation and of all the arrangements of the
several functions. With the Presidents 5
approval, he has selected Capt. Charles l..
McCawley, quartermaster. U. s. NJ. c., as
his assistant in the presentation of the
guests to the receiving party. The latter
succeeds to the duties performed by Lieut.
j. c. Gilmore jr.. 4th Artillery, under Gen.
j. M. Wilson, chief Of engineers, during
the administration Of President Cleveland
According to present arrangements, Col
Bingham will present the guests to Pres
ident Mckinley and Capt. McCawley VIII
next present them to Mrs. Mckinney.
Capt. McCawley enjoys wide acquaintance
In official and social circles and possesses
special qualifications for the duties which
will devolve upon him in his new detail.
The first reception will be, held at the
Wkite House next Wednesday evening from
8 to IL o'clock. AS a special distinction
the members of the dfplomatic corps will
be received before the general reception be-
gins, and they have Deen requested by the
Secretary cf State to ATTEND at S:l3 C CLOCK
in uniform The state dining room mas
been set apart for their use during the re-
ception. Hat and cloak boxes for the other
guests will be erected in the vestibule at
the main entrance. The Marine Band will
be stationed in the conservatory.
1t has been decided that not another in
vitation to the reception will be issued. 1t
was the original intention that only LOO
people should be present, but the urgent
requests for invitations has run the list to
2,OOo. This will, it is feared. make the ie-
ception uncomfortable. The estimate is
that the White House will comfortably
provide for not over 1,400 persons. The
list would never have gone beyond this but
for the enormous pressure Tor invitations.
Requests are reaching the White House at
the rate of fifty a day. Members of Con-
gress want permission to take others with
them. Some of them have even asked for
invitations for friends of their friends. Sec-
retary Porter will keep down the list at
the expense of whatever is said, and posi-
lively announces that no more invitations
will be issued.
of admission will be required, but there
will be a printed list OF all invited, to
which reference will he made If the ushers
suspect that persons are attending not ex-
pected. Those who come without cards of
Invitation mGy not be rejected, but they
will be given to understand that it is
known they are there without prope' invi-
tation Should it be developed, however,
that the usual unlimited crowd comes, at
the next reception it is proposed to have
cards required, and no one will be admitted
VINO cannot present one.

THE ARMY BILL.
Confederation of the Estimates by
the House.


the House.
The session of the House of Representa-
tives today. after 2 o'clock, was devoted
to eulogies on the life and public services
of the late Representative Seth w. Milli-
ken.
Immediately after the reading of the
journal Representative Star (Neb.) rose to
question Of privilege to deny a publica-
tion IN local paper stating that he had
acted as attorney in the pension case of
jackson w. Cheney. AS a representative.
he said, he had interested himself in the
case, but he had never acted pension
attorney in his life.
On motion of Mr.. Lanham CTexas) bill
was passed authorizing the President to
appoint an additional district judge for
the northern district of Texas. 1t was ex-
planned that Judge Rector, now the judge
of that district, was utterly incapacitated
from performing the duties of his office.
The House then went into committee Of
the whole and took up the consideration of
the army appropriation bill.
The BILL Chairman Hull of the military
committee explained, carried S23, 1S5 $50,
81 1.O39,s51 less than the estimates and
s56 146 in excess of the law for the current
year. The increase in the pay Of the army
was due to the fact that the army was
nearer its maximum strength than here
tofore. A new provision in the bill re-
quired the payment of troops by the pay
master in person.
The general debate on the bill was desul-
tory and was not confined to the subject
matter dealt with by the bill. Mr.. Henry
Texas) took occasion to denounce Secre-
tary Cages funding scheme. MIR. Terry
(Ark.) made some remarks about the pro-
tective tariff, and Mr.. Gaines CTenn) some
or the claim of the publishing house of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South.
At O'Clock the debate was suspended to
sive the members an opportunity to pay
tribute to the memory of the late Repre-
sentative Millken of Maine. Speaker Reed

PUTS WORK BEHIND,
Increase of Force in the Patent Of
fee Needed.

lice Needed.
The assistant commissioner of patents is
Urging with all his energy an increase in
the working force of his office. He points
cut ttat the business interests of the coun-
try are suffering because of the small force
which has put the office between two and
six months behind in its work
Just at this time congressm men are max
ing many demands upon the office to have
certain applications made special. There
is rule which forbids this, unless the re-
quest comes from the head Of one of the
departments. when, upon the supposition
that the invention will be of prac ticaI ben
ent TO the government, the case is ad-
Varced and acted upon Immediately. This
rule was adopted in order that the gov
ernment might take advantage in time of
war Of pending inventions, and later was
used by the government when one of its
employees invented article which 1T pro-
posed TO use, such as post Office accouter-
ments Some of the requests which come
every day from the heads OF departments
are lauehable when considered in counec,
tion with the original idea Of the rule. For
Ii staEce, application was recently made
to have a baby carriage case advanced
uLder the rule. What use the government
could possibly put baby carriage to could
not be Imagined But il was a government
demand, and was complied with Assistant
commissioner Greeley hopes for legislation
at this session OF Congress which will give
him more help, and thereby bring the office
UP to date.

NO CHANGE IN PLANS.
Relief Expeditions Going to the Klon-
dixie Intended.

Acting Secretary Meiklejohn Of the War
Department pronounces to be absolutely
untrue the statement coming from Port
land. Ore. to the effect that Gen. Merriam,
the commanding general OF the Department
of Columbia, has been ordered from WASH
ington to postpone the departure of the
government relief expedition to Alaska
The department has been much annoyed
by the circulation of stories that it had
any intention to abandon the rellef project
Nothing that has been reported to the Off
cials as to the alleged sufticiency of 70 I'd
supplies in Dawson has come from a source
that carries conviction. and it can be stat
ed on the authority of Acting Secretary
MeiklejOhn that the relief expeditions are
going forward as rapidly as the department
can possibly push them.
II there has been any change made by
Gen. Merriam in the arrangements for the
shipping of the expedition, 1t is said that
he has undoubtedly done SO because he
could secure more advantageous conditions
1t is also said that the reindeer will be used
for transportation, as originally intended.

The customs receipts this week, despite
one unusually heavy day. have fallen

The total receipts for the first two weeks
of the new year are s7.129. 400, against
s., ,954, ,361 for the same period last year,

that the total receipts for the month of
