Issuance of Invitations.

A part of the arrangements which re-
quires good deal of care and attention
and at he same time calls for considerable
tact is that of making up the list OF per-
sons to whom invitations to the ceremonies
at the White House are to be sent. All the
difficulties surrounding 1t arise entirely
from the condition that In the east room.
where the exercises are to be held. accom-
modations can be provided for only about
800 persons. The affair is to be a recep-
ton rendered by the President of the
United States to the governors of states
and territories who come here to attend
the centennial exercises. Some of the ex-
ecutives will bring stats of varying size,
and If the entire number is invited these In
dividuals alone will absorb d good deal of
the available space.
Then there are certain officials whom, on
account of their representative character,
it is deemed are entitled to invitations, such
as the judges Of the United States Supreme
Court, representing one of the Co-Ordi-
nate branches of the government, the legis-
lative being represented by the centennial
committees appointed by both houses. The
judiciary of the District, as the celebration
is joint affair of the general and local
governments, has claims to recognition in
this respect, and there are also other classes
which can hardly be excluded from con-
sideration.
subject any thought that the list of those
invited to the White House will have to be
very carefully made up, and even then mis-
understanding. If not actual mistakes, will
b.. almost unavoidable.
This entire matter will be gone over at
the meeting of the citizens committee this
afternoon, well that Of the invitations
for the exercises at the Capitol. In the lat
ter case, however, as the exercises are to
be held in the hall of the House Of Repre-
sentatives, and 1t is likely that a portion
at least of the galleries will be assigned to
the use Of the committee, there are not the
same limitations for the reason that the
seating capacity is greater than will be af-
forded by the east room.

FEATURE OF THE PARADE
CITIZENS, ESCORT FOR SERVICE At
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
Maryland and Virginia to be Repre-
scented by Military Or&anixa-
tiOns-Other Details.

| A feature of the parade In the celebration
of the centennial of the removal of the seat
of government to the District, to be held
December II, will be the citizens escort.
The marshal of that part of the procession,
Mr.. Andrew Parker who had charge of the
citizens escort in the Dewey day parade,
has issued invitations to a large number OF
the leading citizens inviting their co-opera-
ton to make 1t credit to the occasion. 1t
is the purpose to have about 200 citizens,
mounted, to constitute this escort, and as
the time to be spent in this duty is limited
1t is expected that the large majority of
those invited TO take part will accept.
According to the plan for the parade. 1t
will leave the White House at half-past 1
and pass do vn the avenue to the Capitol.
where after being reviewed by the Pres
ident it will be dismissed 1t is estimated
by Mr.. Parker that the members Of the
| mounted escort will he required to be on
horseback only about two hours.
Virginia and Maryland.
There is a favorable prospect that the
state of Maryland will be represented in
the parade by her military forces. The
adJutant general of the state, General
Saunders, was at headquarters today to
learn the details of the arrangements for
the centennial celebration. He was uncer-
tain whether funds were available to bring
any of the Maryland state troops here on
that occasion, but he said the subject was
being looked up. and If it is found that 1t
is possible. Maryland troops will be in the
parade. 1t is proposed to have companies
from different parts OF the state rather
than any one regiment, and also to bring
here mounted troop.
The state of Virginia is to be represented
by a regiment and if the Maryland soldiers
come then both of these adjoining states
will participate in the District centennlal
by military display.
A letter has been received at headquar-
tiers indicating that COT Roosevelt of New
York will attend the celebration. Additional
acceptances from governors have been re-
ceived from the following: d. w. Jones OF
Arkansas, W. A. Poynter Of Nebraska and
Joseph F. Johnston of Alabama. The total
number Of these executives that have ind-
Gated an intention of being in this city on
the 18th of December is twenty-nine.

committee Is furnishing cuts OF the Capitol
and the White House to those correSpon-
dents who wish to make of such illus

assault, with intent TO kill. The case
is important as foreshadowing the
policy of treating guerrillas as bandits.
1t is supposed that one reason which
has hitherto deferred the American
authorities from adopting this policy
is that the insurgents have more than
fifty American prisoners and may re-
taliate, although a few of them We're

Porto Rico Offers PerpIexng Prob
lem to the Government


The President and his party repre-
sentatives in the House are at odds
for the first time. He has affirmed that
it is "our plain duty" to give Puerto
Rico free trade. The Ways and Means
Committee propose a 25 per cent. re-
ducton from the Dingley tariff. The
Democratic contention appears to be
that annexation of Puerto Rico made
the island an integral part OF the Unit
ed States, and that under the Consti-
tuition free trade is guaranteed 1t. To
be logical. the Republicans must con-
cede that Congress has Il right to inn
pose tariff on the products OF Alaska,
for example, and even Arizona, New
Mexico and Oklahoma. If the Consti-
tuition is only for the states, and not
for the territories or colonies, we must
bark back to theories that were ex-
plotted and exploded in the early his
tory of the nation. The jingo thinks
that the American flag must be hoist
ed wherever we have the power to fly
it. irrespective of it's effect upon the
old United States, the people of
which have to count the cost and pay
the bills. Washington's farewell adj
dress contains many passages which
must bring blush to the face of the
imperialists of 1900.

MOLINEUx AT SING SING.
Not More Contented Man There
Than He Is.

UdII 10.
Friday, Feb. l6. Roland B. Molineux
was sentenced to be executed in the
manner prescribed by the law in the
week beginning Monday. March 26
Molineux maze a speech to recorder
Goff just before sentence. protesting
his innocence.
The wife and mother of Roland Il.
Molineuy have moved to Sing Sing
to be with the prisoner. They visit
the prison. but neither is permitted to
even grasp him by the hand. Both
women are in good spirits, which
pleases Molineux very much. as it an
noys him greatly to have his wife or
mother weep when in his presence.
They tell him of the work being insti-
tuted by his counsel for new trial,
and of the kind expressions on all
sides manifested in his behalf This
is the kind of talk that pleases Mol
ineuX, and he in return cheers them
up by his positive belief that a new
trial will be granted and his inno-
cence established.
In speaking of MolineuX Mr.. Con-
naughton said: "There is not hap.
pier or more contented man in this
prison to-day than Molineux. He likes
his quarters here better than the
Tombs. because the light is so much
better. In New York they allow men
candles to read by. while here they
have two electric lights. Molineux
misses his cigarettes more than any
thing else. Cigarette smoking is not
permitted in Sing Sing Prison, but
pipes are, SO he has taken to a corn
cob pipe as cheerfully as possible"

FRICK--CARNEGiE.
Both Sides Preparing to Fight to the
End

Both Sides Preparing to Fight to the
End.
President {. NJ. Schwab. of the Car
negie Steel Company, has arrived IN
Pittsburg from New York and was at
his Office Feb. 23, receiving but few
callers. He declined to express any
views on the equity suit brought
against the company by H. c. Frick
to recover $4,000, 900, and the result
of his conference with Andrew Carne-
gle in New York remains matter of
conjecture.
1t was expected that some important
meetings will be held on both sides
of the case, and developments are
eagerly awaited. Mr.. Carnegie has sue
cinctly outlined all the details concern
ing the policy to be pursued in the
suit, and the answer will probably be
filed without further instructions from
the steel magnate.
One of the most interesting features
.;sst at present is the contemplate I'd
suit involving the coke contract, and
there is well-grounded opinion
among those more or less directly con-
cerned that the papers will be filed
at once. Frick will hold aloof from
this action for time.
Little credence is placed in the re-
port that negotiations are pending to
have the coke suit dropped. No over
lures have been made in this direc-
ton, and it is thought the minority
stockholders of the Frick Coke Com
pany will be unit in favor of prose-
cutting the case.
The expectations of those who an
ticipated Mr.. Carnegie's early arrival
in Pittsburg received a severe setback
when Mr.. Schwab came along, and it
is now considered probable that sew
eral weeks may elapse before Mr..
Carnegie returns and takes personal
charge of his forces.
