Social Season at Washington Opened With
Brilliant Reception.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Beneath sky
1 as bright as that above Cuba and in q
wind as cold as the Arctic, more than
1900 citizens stood in line at the white
house gate yesterday, waiting to pay their
respects to the president, after the brill
iantreception which ushered in the new
year, r,and marked the opening of the social
season in Washington. Beginning
promptly at II a. m., the ceremony was
concluded at 1:15, at which time 1854
guests had passed down the line.
Mrs. Mckinley remained in the Blue
parlor only during the strictly official
section of the program. The trouble
some question Of precedence between
the army and the navy was settled in
favor Of the former, General Miles lead
ing the contingent, with General Cor
bin at his side. After the army had
passed in review, Admiral Dewey, with
the venerable Admiral Melville on his
arm, led the naval party. Mrs. Dewey
was in the receiving party.
The diplomatic corps, which headed
the List of guests, was, as always, the
show feature Of the reception. Lord
Pauncefote, the British ambassador and
dean of the corps, led the way. The
display of uniforms was brilliant, Turk
ish gilded orders of continental powers,
the fur-t trimmed tunics and high, pol
ished boots of the Russians; the queer,
sage green, gold-encrusted uniforms of
the Japanese and the .ermine- trimmed
silken robes of the Coreans and the Chi
nese, all combined to form picture Of
unusual brilliancy. Following these,
the American officials. judges of the
supreme court, judges, department.

ing, possession. The reception to the
general public concluded the function.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Will Renew the Modus yivendi for An
other Year.


LONDON, Jan. s.-The Times pub.
fishes a dispatch from st. Johns, n f.,
saying: "All the political parties agree
that Il renewal OF the modus vivendi for
another year is IL measure which will
pass unanimously both houses about
April L. All the colonists are united in
a desire to assist the empire by every
possible means"
The fear that Newfoundland would
refuse to renew the modus vivendi has
been a bugbear of the imperial govern
ment, many of the authorities declar-
ing that it constituted the gravest possi-
bility of complications with France.
Thus the news that the modus vivendi
will be renewed has been received with
the greatest relief.

the world has love as the basis of its
stories, and that eleven men in every
twelve have sonnet hing that is beautiful
and tender in their lives that is attrib-
utable purely to the influence of woman.
Those same eleven men, when the span
of life is nearly done, might be asked
what they had found best in this world,
and the answer would be that there Is
nothing worth living for save that con-
nected with woman, whether it be with
home, Wife or mother The influence of
woman is the sweetest thing in the world,
and it is che most lasting and benefcent
in its results.
In my Office all Washington there Is
great map of our great country. As l look
upon it l am filed with pride. Stretching
from ocean to ocean, slicing out what
ever is best of the North American CONT
nent, with every variety of climate and
soil, knitted by railways and waterways,
this land lives for a people who lead the
world in progress and development. There
is no country like it and there has never
been country like it. Rome was not it's
equal, for, in enc narrow seat the power
of the broad empire of Rome was settled,
to be torn and disrupted by the seditions
and conflicts in those countries coerced
and added to its dominions. England is
not its equal for the British power has
its seat in a small island, from which it's
edicts so forth and from which provinces
far remote are governed with but little
sympathy, often, between governed and
the governors. But let the progress and
development of this country continue
without abatement for fifty years and
you will see power that the combined
strength Of all nations of the earth can
not equal. There is nothing to fear from
the outside; let us lcok to our interior
economy"
The speaker here entered upon a brief
discussion of social and domestic ques-
lions, and asked who is 10 regulate them.
The answer was given chat it shall be wo-

ton 10 sons and daughters of household

1T is not for lovely woman l would
speak; here in this assemblage you will
not doubt me when / declare thai she

woman, the motherly woman I speak. The

great republic, and so long as there are
worthy mothers, so long will there be

my life" But when be came to speak in,
the capital Of our own state, he poured
forth from the fullness Of his heart that
ennobl.ng sentiment which should forever
endear The name Of William Mckinley to
the survivors of the Lost Cause, and 10
the sons of that heroic strain. What an

what loving. care their graves are kept
Every sold ers grave made during our
unfortunate Civil War is tribute TO
American valor, and while when those
graves were made We differed widely
about the future of this governmental those
differences were long ago settled by the
arbitrament of arms and the time has now
come in the evolution Of sentiment and
Keeling under the providence of GOD, when
in a spirit of fraternity we should share
with you in the care Of the graves Of the
Confederate soldiers " The administration
Of William Mckinley and its great
achievements will receive proud recon-
pense. He will live ia history as the first
President who directed the energies OF
this naticn in great and successful war
beyond the seas. Greater civic renown
may yet be his, but to my mind the
browning glory of his life will be found
in those simple words of proffered kindly
national recognition of the hon
or due the sacred ashes of
his once incompatible foes. Wise
as kindly. judicious as gentle, they
have touched the hearts of millions of our
people. Every soldiers grave" whether

with rousing applause when he rose to re-

Judge Faligant said that he assumed to
represent not himself, but Secretary Long,
who was to have responded to the toast
He wished his aHdience to remember that
he was speaking as Long and not as Fall

ton between the army and the navy and
said that he would let his audience into
the secret of the Santiago loop, of which
there had been some discussion.
Personally. Judge Falligaut acknowl-
edged that he knew nothing of the Unite |
States army and navy except by expert
ence. and his few years experience h d
taught him a great deal of respect for
these two bodies. There is a new feeling
however. he said, and that is the inspira-
ttion of national pride He briefly review
ed the glorious record of the army and

said, the latter has been overthrown Il

have illustrated their country wherever
they have had the opportunity. On
the fields of Mexico they led in battle and

Judge Fanigant paid a high tribute 10
the old army and navy, and the chvalric
spirit which animated their members The
spirit of liberty has always inspired the
American soldier and sailor, he said. in
Illustration of this he mentioned Commo.

thicker than water" and his brave ac-
ton ct the Peiho river.
1t is time for sectional and party animos-
tiles to be wiped out. the speaker said
Occasions like this should bring about true
cordiality.
Judge Falligant spoke of the principles
behind the men behind the guns. the prin-
ciples of civil and religious liberty. the
principles which are represented by the
flag which floats over the men and the
guns. Let the same principles be our
strength and support, wherever we may

PECULIAR PENSION CASE.

Hartford Clerks Error Causes Delay ii
Portland Woman's Application.
! Washington, Dec. 19.--Congressmar
straight a peculiar case, held up at the
pension office because of the negligence
of an examiner.
The claimant is Mrs. Lucy A. Caldwell
of Portland, who is eighty-one years of
age and who in 1897 applied for pen
sion as the widow of Lieutenant Henry
C. Caldwell, who served in the Twenty
seventh Connecticut Volunteer infan-
try. In making the claim Mrs. Caldwell
stated that she had married the soldier
October &c. 1885, and she asked for a
pension under the act Of June 27, 1890,
although the records at Hartford show
ed that the marriage took place Octo-
Der 80, 1890, the clerk having made an
error of year.
The bureau sent an inspector out on
the case, and he went no further than
to inspect the record at Hartford and
to report that the widow had no claim
under the act Of June 81, 1890, having
been married to the soldier subsequent
to that date.
Congressman Sperry has taken the
case up and has obtained statement
from the clergyman who married the
couple, stating that in 1890 he was In
Europe in October and could not have
performed the ceremony in Hartford,
and further evidence is brought to show
that the marriage actually took place in
1899. The congressman has assurances,
therefore, that the pension will be
granted as soon as the red tape of the
bureau can be gone through with.

In track athletics the training table

Thus only one branch of Yale sports,
track athletics, shows a decrease in
training table expenses, which for the
four branches cost last year $10,735, an
increase over the previous year Of 81,
6S5. The men paid in to the training
table $479 in football. $424 in baseball,
$496 in boating and $27S In track ath-
letics, or a total Of $1,677, as compared
with $40, 1875, which the training tables
cost.
The figures indicate that the training
table abuses have not diminished, and
the increase of almost all the larger
items of expense in athletics is a strik-
ing feature of the report. The receipts
of the last Yale-Harvard football game
at Yale field are reported to have been
about SCI, 900, as compared with $22,203
at the Yale-Harvard game in Cam
bridge last year. Presumptively, the
receipts for the present year will be
about the same as those contained in
the present report, with large scope for
economies under the new centralized
plan as compared with the present sys-
tenn of letting each athletic association
handle its own funds, which makes re-
difficult.
