WHITE HOUSE BLACKLIST
Names of UNLIMITED Persons Who
Crowd Into Receptions Procured

The White House has a blacklist. II is
an interesting souvenir of this seasons re-
ceptions. 1t goes to prove that there are
persons who own fine clothes and who
are not so thin-skinned as to remain away
from places to which they are not invited.
The invitations given this year to the
White House receptions We're prepared
with unusual care Lists of the invited
were kept and cards were issued to indlvid-
uals by name. The heretofore indefinite
and indiscriminate land ladies" was not
employed. That there might be no misun-
derstandings, the secretary to the presi-
dent, Mr.. Porter, and the gentleman asso-
ciated with him in the management of de-
tails let it be known through the news
papers that steps would be taken to detect
any one who came without invitations. But
the method to be employed was not ex-
planned.
The trap was set and it did it's duty. AT
one reception 21S persons who had not been
invited came to the White House and par
ticipated. AT another affair the number of
unlimited present was $50. The manner in
which the intruders were detected is in
teresting. AS usual, each guest on ad-
vancing to the entrance of the receiving
room was told by an official to "give your
name to the officers. who will present you"
The name of each guest was called out
twice. first by the officer introducing to the
made the presentation to Mrs. Mckinley
The announcing was done with distinct
ness. But this year an attache of the
White House stood in secluded nook and
took down every name that was called out
Comparison with the roster of the invited
was made subsequently, and in this way
the names of the unlimited were singled
out and the blacklist was created.
This was not all. Doorkeepers from the
senate and house were present to add their
knowledge of faces to that of the White
House ushers. Alphabetical lists of the
invited were in possession of the officials.
When there was doubt about any one the
lists were consulted Some of the unin-
vited were asked for their addresses. Sub
sequently letters were addressed to several
of those who had come without invitations,
asking explanations of the breach. Most
of the letters were ignored. Several replied.

Walker, Mimi, Oct. 4.-There seems
now to be little question that within
few days United States troops will be
on Bear island The solution of the
Indian troubles at Walker now de-
ponds wholly on the Indians them
selves. A conference between the DO
lice and the officers has been held and
an ultimatum issued. A council was
called for noon Monday, and at that
time the decision of the matter will be
made. If the Indians comply with the
demands of the officers there will be
peace; if not. war will surely follow.
Deputy Marshal Sheehan, Agent
Sutherland and Inspector Tinker
braved the heavy storm and went to
the town of Leech, the Indian village
across the lake from Walker There a
conference was held between the of
GERS and DR.. Hart, the subagent, and
the Indian police and number of the
prominent agency Indians. AS re-
suit Of this conference the call for the
council was issued There is little
hope that the Indians will comply with
the demands of the officers. 1t is in
possible to tell now what the result
will be. but the general opinion seems
to be that the Indians will fail to re-
spond to the call The officers are de-
termined to carry the matter through
and preserve their authority. and will
therefore request the assistance of the
troops and go to the island in case
their demands are not complied with.
Lieut.. Humphrey is ready to go into
the island with the men he now has,
but Marshal O'Connor will not ask
this force to face almost certain death.
Lieut.. Humphrey received a telegram
from Gen. Bacon, asking if the force
sent to Walker was sufficient. On the
advice of the officers Lieut. Humphrey
wired a request for an additional 100
men and a Calling gun. Whether the
reinforcementS will be sent at once or
only in case there is trouble after the
council Monday is not known here.
Bear island is so heavily wooded that
it is thought that a landing will be
impossible without a Gatling gun.
Marshal O'Connor accompanied the
agent and the inspector to the agency
and held conference with Agent
Hart and the Indian police 1t was re-
ported at the agency that the runners
returned from Bear island with the re-
port that the Indians there held a
council last evening and that 125 of
them agreed to stand together but
whether this agreement was to submit
to the officers or resist them could not
be definitely learned. 1t is almost
certain, however, that they will resist.
