only be one OF the largest AFFAIRS of the kind
this country has ever seen. nut will also Oe
notable for It's political significance. 1t will Do
not merely n personal tribute TO the President.
but II Is also expected TO be, 10 n marked de-
gree. hu expression OF New EnRlands conf
dence In his foreign policy IL is a somewhat
remarkable fact that the General Court Is wait
ing TO hear the President speak before acting
upon the resolutions now before Il touching
the relations OF the United States and the Phil
ippines. Mr., Mckinley has been invited to
address Joint convention OF the Senate and
House some time during his brief stay In Bos-
ten. In the meantime the resolutions are
tabled In committee rooms.
SO far as can be learned the dinner will in
point of the number OF guests be a record
breaker for indoor dinners, For long time
the Home Market Club held this record, hnv-
ing seated more than 300 at banquet sew
ernl years ago. Then dinner was given In
the PHILADELPHIA Museum at which 1000 peo-
ple we're present. lr the Mechanics Build
ing on Feb 10 arrangements have been made
to seat l,ol4 people and about 1000 more will
have an opportunity to hear the speaking The
magnitude OF the affair necessitates some
peculiar arrangements. The members of tho
club were first provided with tickets for them
selves. This had the effect OF greatly increas-
ing the membership OF the club until now
about 1.SOO names are enrolled. After the
members themselves come their guests.
Each member was requested to state in his
application the names of his proposed guests
and to arrange them in order with those most
desired first. As a matter of fact compare
lively few of the proposed guests will be fortu-
nate enough to get seats at the tables. for, with
n total OF 1000 applications, fewer than 1000
can be seated The balconies are to be re-
served for women. Each purchaser of a din
ner ticket viii nave two two reserved seat tickets
