WHITE HOUSE RECEPTION.
Mrs. Mckinley Able to BE In Line With
the PreSident-Miies Given Pree-
dence Over Dewey.

WASHINGTON, Jan. AT the White
House reception, on New Years day,
about 1854 guests passed down the line.
Mrs Mckinley was present, despite her
feeble health. She remained in the blue
parlor only through the strictly official
section OF the program, retiring then, as
had been previously arranged. With
the flush of excitement on her usually
pale face she looked bright and happy
as she led the cabinet procession down
the corridor with the president to the
blue room.
The Official procession moved down
:, stairs and through to the blue
parior, where the receiving party was
to take its stand. Mrs Mckinley bowed
and smiled to the little crowd of fa.
vored spectators who filed the end of
the corridor to witness this opening act
OF the days ceremonies. AS she turned
into the blue room she kissed the lips of
her white gloyed fingers to some OF the
children who waved their hands to her
from point of vantage near the door.
Inc troublesome question of prece-
dence between the army and navy was
settled in favor OF the former, General
Miles leading the military contingent,
with Adiutant General Corbin at his
left side. After the army had passed in
review Admiral Dewey, with the veneer
able Admiral Melville on his arm, led
the line Mrs. Dewey was wi III the re-
ceiving party and was escorted in on the
arm of Secretary Long.
The diplomatic corps. which headed
the list OF guests, was always the show
feature of the reception. Lord Paunce-
fote, the British ambassador and dean
of the corps, led the way. The display
of uniforms was brilliant, Turkish fez,
gilded orders of the continental powers,
the fur-trimmed tunies 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 Koreans and Chi
nese all combined to form a picture of
unusual brilliancy.
Following these the American Off
Gals, judges of the Supreme court. sem
ators and representatives, department
chief and the like, made longer if less
striking procession. The reception to
the general public concluded the func-

Rockefeller Doubles Large Sums Given

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-The University of
Chicago received gift of $3,370,000.
President Harper was to make the an
nouncement today at the quarterly con-
vocatian of the University in Studio
baker hall. The president hoped to an
nounce that the University would be
100000 richer, but he had not been
able to raise the $315,000 which, dupli-
Gated by John d. Rockefeller, would
make up that amount.
However, Mr.. Rockefeller wired that
he will extend the limit three months,
and in that time DIR. Harper thinks he
is reasonably sure of getting the rest of
the money, as he has several large do
nations in prospect.

OLD EMPLOYEES PENSIONED.
System Pnt Into Effect on Pennsy, East
of Pittsburg.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2.-The system
of pensioning old employees of the Penn
sylvania Railroad company on the lines
east of Pittsburg was inaugurated New
Years day. About $50 men who. by
reason OF long service in the company s
employ have become incapacitated for
further active duty, were retired on
pensions that average nearly half the
wages they received when at work.
1t was understood that sum approx
mating 100000 is at present available
for pensioning purposes, and that before
the system can be extended to the lines
west of Pittsburg much larger appro-
priation will be necessary. No person
holding position of Importance had
been affected by the pension rule, Here
after no person over 30 years of age will
be taken into the employ of the COM
DaQy.

and they must know more than we. The
Executive Council has but two rights more
than we, namely, that of granting fran
chises and of fixing salaries. The organi-

it has been so just and liberal"
Mr.. Cromwells remarks had the effect of
closing the debate. One member, Mr.. San
chez Morales, arose and said: Il shall not
attempt TO reply to Mr.. Cromwell But
should like to ask a few questions. Does
the American flag represent liberty in Porto
Rico? If we pass this or any other bill,
leaving the Council to fix the salaries, what
proof have we that the salaries will not
be made so insignificant that no one will fill
the of1iceS?"
A bill has passed the House fixing the
salaries of the native members of the
Executive Council at $4,000. There are five
such members. On this subject an inter-
view with Mr.. Cromwell, the only American
In the House, was printed in the local pa
pers. in which he deprecated the increase Of
pay.
The House at the next session attempted
to censure him for allowing himself to be
interviewed, but the attempt failed. The
salary bill was passed-19 to 10.
