CALL ON NJ 'KINLEY
New Years Reception at White
House Is Brilliant.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The social sea-
son In Washington was ushered in to-
day with a brilliant New Years recep-
ton at the White House at which the
president and Mrs. Mckinley received
the congratulations and well wishes of
several thousand people including the
representatives of foreign governments,
jurists, statesmen, officers of the army
and navy and others eminent in the
social and political life of the capital.
A review of the whole winter calendar
up to date could have hardly found
day better fitted for the New Year fIlnc-
tion. The snow that has grown a trifle
grimy during the past week, had been
covered over night with a fresh fall,
scarcely an inch in depth. The broad
sweep of the White House drive had
been quickly cleared of this but the
lawns were covered with the fresh
white mantle and the bare black limbs
of the trees were outlined in silver dust.
The sun was bright, but the air was
crisp and frosty. AT an early hour the
streets beyond the White House grounds
began to fill with the crowd that surged
back and forth eager for place in the
public line that was to follow the re-
ception of the various sections of the
days pageant.
The decorations of the executive man.
sion were not so elaborate this year as
they have been on some former ac-
casions, still there was a profusioD of
palms, ferns, smilax, holly and other
greens everywhere through the state
dining room, the blue, red and green
, parlors and the east room.
The different mantels were bank
ed high with foliage plants and the
window recesses filled with tall graceful
palms and rubber plants. The green
of the foliage plants was relieved by
scarlet poinsinetta and other Towering
plants. The light of the brilliant Writer
day was excluded and the rooms flooded
with electric lights from thousands of
tiny bulbs in ceilings and sparkling
chandeliers adding to the brilliancy of
the decorations.
The glittering gold and silver trap
pings of the members Of the diplo-
matte corps and the full dress uniforms
of the army and navy contrasted
strongly with the modest black of the
of the government as they moyed
through the may throng. The presi-
dent and Mrs. Mckinley received in the
blue parlor, assisted by the members
of the cabinet and their wives and 'tbe-
hind the lines" were about fifty of the
wives and daughters of senators, rep
resentatives, prominent army and navy
officers and others high in social and
official circles.
The full marine band in their red uni
! forms were stationed at the head of the
corridor opposite the state dining room
and throughout the reception played
patriotic airs.
The New Years reception approaches
nearer to a court function than any
! other of the social affairs of the presi-
| dent and the official programme with
| it's order of precedence is rigidly ad-
! hered to.

Along the Canadian Border of
Vermont.
PUT UNDER GROUND.
Munitions Of War Are Shipped
as Groceries.
Women Are Organizing an Am.
bulance Corps.
Transportation Arrangements
Made With Farmers.

New York, Jan. IA Times special
from Burlington, VT, says:
1t is reported that the Fenians are
engaged in storing large quantities of
dynamite, lyddite ammunition and sup
remote districts in Vermont and Maine
near the Canadian boundary line. The
information comes from persons who
claim to have knowledge of some Of
the supplies and others who learned of
their transportation by railroad, dis
guised as groceries. Dynamite and 9TH
er explosives have been secured in sur
prisingly large quantities and stored
under ground on the Vermont border,
while quantities of canned meats have
been hidden in some large barns ofsym-
pathizing farmers on the Maine line
near New Hampshire.
1t is said an efficient ambulance corps
is being organized under the supervis-
ion of a few local Irish women and
surgeons who were in the Red Cross
work in Cuba. They are also preparing
a large number of first aid packages
for the invading force.
The movement is the work of the Irish
element of the larger cities, but it is a
fact that large and important work
is being done among the farmers of the
border states. A schedule is being ar
ranged of farmers who can furnish
wagons and horses and oxen for trans
portation purposes. as this is regarded
as a most important detail.
A careful study is being made of the
small railroad branches in northern
New England and places are being To-
Gated where the road could be cap
| tured by a very small force.

! BE HELD EARLY.
Republicans Favor Taking the
Lead in Conventions.
Would Hold Two as Soon as
Practicable.
COMMITTEE MEETING.
Leaders Will Decide All the
Pending Questions.
Baker and Burton Both Claim
to Be in Control.

The Republican state committee will
be called together early next month to
decide upon the number, time and place
of holding the state conventions of the
party next year.
The sentiment among the leaders
seems to be in favor of two state con-
vent;ons. The first to be held for the
purpose of selecting delegates to the
national convention; the second for the
purpose of renominating the present
state officers. selecting new commit
tee and nominating, also, the superln-
tendent of insurance, members or the
court of visitation and the transaction
of such other business as may properly
belong to the state convention.
The proposition to nominate the can
didaIe for United States senator in the
state convention will probably be dis
posed of at the meeting of the commit
tee.
The Burton people claim that they
have a majority of the committee and
are able to secure the adoption of a res
olution authorizing such action at the
state convention. The Burton workers
Claim eighteen members of the state
committee of thirty-two.
The Baker forces assert that Burton
has not the control of ten members of
the state committee and predict swift
defeat for him should the plan be pre-
SenIed to the state committee. Up to
date both sides are claiming everything
in sight and doing a good deal of talk
ing.
The Republican managers claim they
have taken no steps towards selecting,
even in their own minds, a place for
holding the state conventions. Both
conventions will be large.
Hutchinson and Wichita each want
one of the conventions while there is
some talk about Kansas City, Kan,
seeking the state convention to name
delegates to the national convention
Topeka will probably be selected
1t has been suggested by some of the
party workers that the auditorium in
Forest Park, where the Chautauqua as
sembly is held at Ottawa, would be a
good place for one of the conventions.
but the lack of sufficient hotel accom-
Il lodations removes that town from the
list of eligibles.
These questions will all be decided by
the state committee.

AS A cH1oKAsAw TOOL.
J. r. Burton Used as a Catspaw by
Governor johnson.

Philip Hopkins of Talequah. L IT, an
officer of the Dawes commission, told a
Kansas man at Kansas City a few
days ago that J. r. Burton never had
possible chance of landing the Chicka-
saw attorneyship, even if the bill had
been approved by the president. He
says Mr. Burton and his friends were
used by Governor Johnson of the Chick
asaw nation to obtain the presidents
approval of the bill. and that it was
the scheme after that to renew an old
contract with firm of Talequah law
yers to represent the Chickasaws. These
lawyers are Cherokees, but they have
BEEN representing the Chickasaws some
years, and after the passage of the
Curtis bill it became necessary to renew
their contract by legislative enactment.
Governor Johnson and these lawyers
Knew that the president was opposed
to the employment of attorneys by the
Indians to represent them at Washing
ton, and so Mr.. Hopkins says the
scheme of enlisting Mr.. Burton's aid
was resorted to. Mr.. Hopkins says
that no doubt Mr.. Burton had a con-
tract from Governor Johnson, but that
the arrangement with the Talequah
