The Army and Navy.
After the reception Of the diplo-
matte corps. senators and Representa-
tlves came the officers Of the army and
navy. In accordance with custom, the
army had precedence. Major General
Miles, who headed the line. was ac-
companied by Adjutaut General Cor
bin. The latter, however, gave way as
they approached the receiving line. and
General Miles first greeted the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Mckinley. The line Of
naval odlcers which followed, headed
by Admiral Dewey. was much longer
than that of the army. The admlrnl's
small, well-knit figure was in striking
contrast to the large frame OF the ven-
cradle Rear Admiral Melville, the fani-
Gus Arctic explorer They were fci-
lowed by Rear Admirals Hlchborn ana
Bradford. and some Of the fighting
heroes. among whom were Fighting
Bob" Evans, Captain sIgsbee, LIeuten
ant Commander Wainwright, Lieuten-
ant Hae5eler and others. The long line
Of naval officers was followed by Brlga
der General Haywood, commander Of
the marine corps, and all of the officers
OF the corps now on duty in and around
Washington.
Then came the officers Of the District
militia and the naval reserves,
Professor Alexander Graham and
Professor Samuel P. Langley. Of flying
machine fame, led the regents OF the
Smithsonian Institute who were fol-
lowed by the heads OF the various de-
partments, assistant secretaries OF
chiefs OF bureaus. heads of bureaus,
etc.
When tlis point was reached Mrs.
Mckinley Withdrew. the ordeal being
trying one for her. Following these
came the veterans Of the wars In whlch
lh2 country has engaged. Precedence
was given to the few remaiuing vet
erans OF the Mexican war. Thu vet
Grams Of the civil war included the g.
A. II. posts. Loyal Legion. Union Vet
erans' Legion and Union Veterans
Union. Then came the veterans OF the
spanlsh-American war, about 200 in
humber.
The Oldest 1nhabltant Association 9t
the District OF Columbia was the Inst
organization in line. The general pub
lie was then admitted. and for an hour
and a half constant stream OF hu-
rnanlty flowed through the white house
portals. Meantime practically all the
distinguished callers had departed. and
many of the ladies in the receiving line,
who were to hold receptions ut their
homes. had also left.
