WHITE HOUSE RECEPTIONS.
Program of Entertainments to BE
Given by the President.

Washington, Dee. 1.-THE program
Of entertainments at the white house
for the season of 1900 has been COM
pleted. The same general plan has
been followed as last year, beginning
with the morning reception on new
years day and closing with that to the
public in the evening just before Ash
Wednesday, which falls on February
%.
Wednesday has been adhered to as
the presidents day for evening recep-
tons and state dinners, which will
make cabinet receptions almost impos-
sible. The arrangements for the new
year reception are almost Identically
the same as in former years. The or
der of the reception will be:
The cabinet officers and their fami-
lies, followed by the members of the
diplomatic corps, the supreme court,
senators and representatives, army and
navy General Miles at the head of
one branch of the service and Admiral
Dewey at the head of the otner). La
dies attend the new year reception at
the white house, but not at the cabinet
houses Or at General Miles sor Admiral
Dewey's.

o'clock last night, being first by two
laps Robert S. Walthour, the lucky
little Georgian, whose team partner.
Jay Eaton, dropped out last Tuesday,
won the first prize for the highest in
dividual score, having ridden 1,402 4-5
miles. He had been doing some won
derful riding in the last four days.
For their week of nerve-racking, rec
ord breaking riding, Miller and Waller
exclusive of individual purses will re-
ceive 81, 900, Maya and McEachern $500
Gimm and Pierce $500, the other riders
$780, 5000 and 500. Walthour will re-
ceive $500 for the individual champion
ship. The scene was exciting when the
winners swept over the line, ending one
of the most sensational contests OF its
kind ever given in this country. Ten
thousand people saw the finish. From
o'clck to the end the pace maintained
was heartbreaking, first one and then
another of the leaders going to the
front, setting a terrific clip. The best
previous record for 142 hours was made
by Miller in the garden in 1898, when
in the six days race he rode 2,190
miles, $50 yards.

WHAT DID He MEAN :?
ENGLAND EXERCISED OVER
GERMAN MINISTER'S TALK.

copyrighted by Associated Press
London, Dec. l7-The grave situa-
ton confronting Great Britain in south
Africa almost obliterates the effect OF
the speech of the German minister of
foreign affairs, Count Won BueloW, in
the reichstag Monday last, though
scarcely any announcement of recent
years has had so much bearing on the
future of Europe. In spite of the I'M
informed comment in some English
quarters that Count Won Buelow spoke
merely for political effect, in other
words 'jollied'' the reichstag
by means of jingoistic soph-
istries for home consumption
to vote for the new navy
in Vienna, which is in closer
touch with Berlin than any
other capital, Count Won Buelow is
interpreted as tiinging down the gaunt-
let to Great Britain. The Neue Erie
Presse, which has personal connection
with the foreign minister of Germany,
declares that Germany is determined
to obtain the greatest possible advan-
tage from the south African complica-
tons, and adds:
The cool mention of England dis
sipates all apprehensions caused by
Emperor Williams stay at Windsor,
and it is not impossible that Eng
lands difficulty may, in certain cir
cumstances, be Germany's opportun-
ity." The Vienna correspondent of
the Standard, relating much more sim
liar comment, reiterates what has Of
ten been heard here, namely that Great
Britain is more hated on the continent
on account of her interference in be
half of the United States when the
latter was at war with Spain than for
any other recent cause.
Why Count Won Buelow should have
gone out of his way to indicate the
possibility of Great Britain's
hostility and belittle the friend
ship between her and Germany
is an enigma yet unsolved by any Brit
ism authority. A concensus of best
opinion tends to the belief that the
German minister wished TO Offset Jo-
seph Chamberlain rash speech at
Leicester Yet, this seems a small
excuse for such language at this per-
iod, while the suggestion that Count
Won Buelow spoke for purely effect is
dismissed as being entirely uncharac-
teristic of the man who is rapidly
achieving the reputation of being the
first statesman in Europe.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The war de-

the transportation of these recruits.
now being cOngregated at Fort Slocum
and will probably sail from New York
Jan. 15.
Isolated bands of bushwhacking in
surgents caught by our forces in the
Philippines are likely to be summarily
dealt with. At the cabinet meeting
Friday the matter was discussed at
some length. 1t was the general SEN
timent that the situation demanded
vigorous treatment. AS long as the
insurgents keep up show of an army
under semblance of discipline, they will
be treated as prisoners of war when
captured, but when they degenerate in
to isolated bands of marauders, harass-
ing our forces by cold blooded assassi-
nations, it is the judgments of officers
in command in the Philippines and the
pA SolNChC Si4AI IASu1pSIS O1 JuS .CdD1uSI
that the situation demands summary
action.
Gen. Otis cables that he is in need of
clothing, provisions and money. He
will reach Tugegaro, Cagayan prov
ince, shortly. Doubtless the navy re-
lieved him yesterday. Some ATS
Spanish prisoners arrived yesterday
morning, among them the sick at vi
gan, numbering 120. Young, at Ban
qui, northwestern Luzon, reports that
his troops are still pursuing a rem
nant of the insurgents who have %
! American prisoners. The country is
exceedingly rough. Our men are
without shoes but still persistently
| pursuing. A few Spanish prisoners
are still in the hands of the insur-
gents, probably 1000, mostly in the
south. He expects to effect their re-
lief in few days Negroes reports are
that Sergeant Alfred Roeder of the
sixth infantry, with 20 soldiers and IS
native police attacked 400 insurgents
at Madrigal, yesterday. There were
no casualties in his force while the
enemy's loss was 22 killed and many
wounded.

IN WASHINGTON'S HONOR.
Impressive Ceremonies For Father of
His Country.

| Washington, Dec. 15.-The one
hundredth anniversary of the death OF
Washington was celebrated with
unique and impressive ceremonies by
the Masonic order at Mt. Vernon yes
terday. Masons of high degree from
all over the United States and Canada
met at the tomb of Washington in
services commemorating the one
hundredth anniversary of the death Of
the greatest American. The grand
masters of the thirteen original states
formed in line facing the representa-
tives of the other jurisdictions and the
grand lodge brethren standing in 4
circle around the tomb with joined
hands. Then the grand master Of Vir-
ginia called upon each of the jurisdic-
tons in turn for the messages and
tributes sent by them.
The grand masters then deposited
their wreaths and eyergreens and the
craft slowly marched past, laying on
the tomb their tributes. Upon reach
ing the mansion the lines were drawn
up and President Mckinley delivered
an address. He was introduced by the
grand master Of Virginia and delivered
an eloquent Grafton, which was list
ened to in profound and impressive
silence.
The president said among other
things:
Not alone in this country, but
throughout the world have Masons
taken especial interest in the observ-
ance of this centennial anniversary.
The fraternity justly claims the i'm
mortal patriot as one of its members;
the whole human family acknowledge
him as one of its greatest
benefactors. Public bodies pa
triotic societies, and other organ
izations, our citizens everywhere, have
esteemed it privilege today to pay
their tribute to his memory and to the
splendor of his achievements in the
advancement of justice and liberty
among men. His fair fame. secure in
its Immortality shall shine thro' count
less ages with undiminished luster."
Last night the order supplemented
their Mt eVrnon ceremonies with elab-
crate exercises at convention hall,

WHEAT AREA INCREASED.
Is 100000 Acres Greater Than Last
Year.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The statisti-
elan of the department of agriculture
reports that the wheat crop in the
United States for 1899 at SAT 800, 900
bushels or 1913 bushels per acre. The
production of winter wheat is placed
at POI, 100000 bushels, that of spring
wheat at 255, 100000 bushels. Every
important wheat growing state has
been visited by special agents of the
department and changes in acreage
are the result of their Investigations.
The newly seeded area of winter wheat
is estimated at O,150,000 acres, which
is about 200 700 acres greater than that
shown in the fall of 1898. Sowing
wheat is still going on in California
and some of the southern states and
the foregoing estimate is subject to
correction. The average condition is
GIL. The acreage sown with winter
rye is estimated at Z per cent. less
than that OF last year.

REGARDING THE open DOOR"
Germany Thinks All Europe Will
Agree to 1t.

Berlin, Dec. 1.-THE attitude of the
different parties towards the naval
bill is not yet clearly defined, but it
can be said that the chances of the
bills passage are most bright Re-
garding the open door" in China, it is
learned that the Washington govern
ment has not yet asked any other
power besides Germany to furnish as
surances verbal or written, to maintain
the open door, but now that Germany's
answer is entirely favorable all other
powers interested will be asked, in
Guiding France, Russia, Italy and
Great Britain. 1t is expected all Of
them will answer favorably except per-
haps Russia, but it is hoped strong
moral pressure can then be brought 20

DENOUNCE MKINLEY AND GAGE.
National Civil Service League Passes
Resolutions

Indianapolis, Dec. 15.-At the open
meeting held yesterday afternoon the
national civil service league openly
attacked the administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley in regard to the order of
May 18th removing many Offices from
the civil service list. a resolution
was adopted censuring the secretary OF
the treasury for refusing access tt
public records relating to matters OF
public concern" and demanding that
this unworthy policy of concealment
and secrecy be abandoned" The Sec
rotary then gave a review of the
conversation between President
Mckinley and the committee
from the league sent to him concern
ing the order of May 29th. The secre-
tary said it was the understanding Of
the league with President Mckinley
that in case it became necessary for
him to issue this order he would add
at least as many offices to the CLASH
efid service as he would be compelled
to remove. Cup to the present time
no new additions have been made
which is a matter Of great surprise to
the league" reported the secretary.
Letters from Denver and San Francis
co were read stating that progress
there along civil service lines was very
satisfactory. The evening session
was taken up entirely with the annual
address of PRESIDENT Carl SchurZ.
Following the address reception was
rendered the delegates at the Univer-
sity club.
