WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The public re-
ception by the president and Mrs. McKin-
ley deferred from February to this even
ing, was one of the most successful func-
tions the White House has ever known. AS
early as o'clock the patient public had

lasted from to II, nearly 5000 visitors be-
ing admitted. The interior of the mansion
was ablaze with lights and beautiful floral
decorations that have not been surpassed at
any levee this winter. not excepting the
diplomatic receptions. AS study of the
American people, tonight's reception was
most interesting as it was the first public
reception President Mckinley has ever held.
Many of the callers appeared in full evening
dress to be followed Immediately by COL
ored waiter or some char woman from the
depths, who longed for an inside view of
a real evening party. Women in hats, bon

WashingtOn's Address Rcnd Before
that Body for First Time.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The house today
inaugurated the custom which has prevailed
for many years in the senate of listening to
the reading of Washingtons farewell address
on Washington's birthday. The address was
read at the request of Mr. Bailey of Texas,
the democratic leader.
Two hours were devoted to the naval ap-
preparation bill, but seemingly only the
plate has been passed. Mr.. Boutele's amend
ment. fixing the maximum price of armor
plate at $545 per ton, but restricting the pro-
vision to the appropriation made in the pres
ent bill, was ruled to be in order, whereupon
another proposition was offered by Mr.. I'm
derwood of Alabama for the erection of am
armor plate plant by the government. A
point of order against the latter proposition
was pending when the consideration of the
naval bill was suspended to allow the mem
bers of the house to pay tribute to the mem
ory OF the late Senator Morrill, of Vermont.
There was a large attendance on the floor
and in the galleries and both members and
spectators listened attentively to the farewell
address. The reading occupied forty-tive min
utes. At it's conclusion there was very
hearty applause from the floor and the gal
leries.
The conference agreement upon the legis-
tive appropriation bill was adopted without
debate.
The house then went into committee of the
whole and resumed consideration OF the
naval appropriation bill.
