PRESIDENT DIMES DEWEY.
Most Elaborate Social Function in
History of White House.

1NosC EAduordJe SOCIAL FUNCTION In
History of White House.
Washington, Oct. 5.-President Nc
Kinley in honor Of Admiral Dewey,
gave the largest dinner party in the
history Of the White House social func-
lions. Covers were laid for more than
eighty persons. The guests included
the Cabinet, the Governors of nine
states, Justices Of the Supreme Court,
some of the members Of both houses
of Congress, army and naval officers.
1t is a White House tradition that
no Partially ever is shown in making
preparation for any one set of guests
at state functions, but the rule was
broken on this occasion, and in the ar
rangement of the table the choice Of
flowers and the draping Of flags, which
made 20 brilliant an addition to the
ordinary decorations, the taste of the
President was consulted, and more of
his personality, perhaps, entered into
the hospitality he was extending to
Admiral Dewey than ever has been the
case with former state affairs.
The red corridor was bright with
crimson light. The table was all in
orchids massed in places and roses.
Hung on the wall back of the Presi-
dent was his special flag, and facing
it the white-starred flag. of the Ad-
miral. The Secretary of Wars flag
was draped at one end Of the hall. and
at the other was hung the flag of tie
Secretary Of the Navy. The East
Room was hung with flags, and mantel
and window seats were banked with
palms. Mrs. Mckinley entertained the
wives of members Of the Cabinet in
her apartments, and before the even
ing was over they all met in the
library, and were presented to the Ad-
miral.
Each guest was presented to Adj
miral Dewey by the President. The
two walked together to the red cor
ridor while the Marine Band played
with unusual spirit See, the Conquer
Ing Hero Comes" The company sat
about two hours at the table. The
toast to Admiral Dewey was given by
President Mckinley, and it reused an
enthusiasm unusual in the formal at
mosphere of the Executive Mansion.
Coffee was served at small tables in
the state dining room, and this was
the smoking room of the occasion.
On this. the same rs on every other
occasion where Admiral Dewey has ap-
peared since his arrival in the United
States, he was cheered to the echo

The Inter Ocean has been for 26
years the stalwart republican news
paper Of the west. 1t has taught
more battles for principle than any
other newspaper In the United States.
II began Its career as supporter Of
General Grant in 1872, when all
other republican papers in Chicago
went over to the enemy. 1t has
taught the battle of Americanism in
every campaign as earnestly and ef-
fectively as 1t taught the slandcrers
Of our army and the defamers of
our president in the campaign Of '99.
The Inter Ocean is now a better
newspaper than ever before. 1t has
unparalleled facilities for gathering
Foreign news, Western news, Illinois
news. 1t has the ablest corresponds
ents in the field with every division
of the army, IN Cuba, in Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippines, and with
every squadron and fleet in foreign
waters. It'has men of affairs, we'll

written by one OF the best posted and
most intelligent observers in the east.
The Matthew Marshall Letter,
