WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Old as TIE
White House, yet new and interest
ing each year is the annual pageant
which passes through the White
House the LIST of January, and is
known as the Presidents New Year
Reception, Today's pageant has
never been eclipsed for brilliancy as
a show, and the attendance has
seldom, if ever been larger. The re-
ception lasted two hours and halt
the first hour and half, beginning
at eleven o'clock, contained the pic
turesque part of the show, the diplo-
mats in their gorgeous court costumes
gold lace and medals, and the officers
of the Army, the Navy, the Marine
Corps, and the local militia in full
dress uniform, and the last hour was
given up to vox populi. Gen. Miles
and the officers of the Army were re-
ceiyed ahead of Admiral Dewey and
the officers of the Navy, just as Army
officers have been received ahead OF
Navy officers ever since the President
of the U. s. began to hold New Year
| receptions. There was an attempt
made to change this in order that
Dewey might be given precedence as
special mark of honor for his ac-
complishments in behalf Of the
country, and for time, it looked as
though it might succeed, but the
President finally decided to leave the
custom as he had found it.
Representative Taylor, who is
| Chairman Of the Roberts Committee,
says the report on the case will be
made in about two weeks, unless
some unexpected complication turns
up to delay it.
1t is evident from the talk of Sen
stors that the Senate is likely tc
adopt some sort Of resolution deal
ing with the policy of this govern
ment towards its new possessions
| Among the score or more of such
resolutions, already offered, is one by
Senator Morgan, which is the short
est of them all, and about the only
one that would be likely to get sup
port from both sides of the expan,
ton question. 1t reads as follows
"Resolved, That in pursuance OF sec
| ton A Of Article Nv Of the Constitu
ton, the U. s. will guarantee to the
people Of Porto Rico, Hawaii. the
Philippine Islands and all othel
states and peoples within its soverigr
Jurisdiction and control, republican
form Of government, aud will protect
them against invasion" Thsre ma,

A Suggestion for the New
Year.

We would suggest that each minIster at
this place would place the following
placsrd in a conspicuous place at the
entrance of hs church, using boX-car
letters and red ink: when you come
here, leave your babies, dogs and tobacco
Al homew Now, we a. All editor, have no
prejudice against either of the above COM
modtes, if they are kept in their proper
places, but when we, personally, so to
church, which 10 not very frequent, &c 60
to hear the minister preach and the people
sing, and not to hear the babies squeal,
the dogs howl and sbominsble "sprten'
Of the tobacco user. Our ministers would
not like to tell their members not to bring
the above nussnces TO church with them,
but We believe they will feel grateful to
the "much cussed out" editor for this 'ug
gestion, and pray often that it will be
needed

s, IT is estimated that since January
/, 1899, up to the present date NO
less than 100000 tourists have
visited Switzerland, and that they
have each left in the country an
average of $l5.44, or q total of $685.
100000. In as much as the popula'
ton of Switzerland is only 1888, 600
il is not difficult to appreciate the
significance Of these figures.

Clark gracefully consents to grant
the eight-hour day to all of his en-
ployes and is egging on the unions to
force the Anaconda people to grant the
same concession to all their thousands.
VIII they do it? is the vital question.
If they do it will cut down the divi-
dends and the prestige of Marcus DAILY
with the eastern stockholders in his
company. If they do not there will
probably be one of the most serious
labor difficulties ever had in the west.
Anyway, Clark will profit. His United
Verde mine is big copper producer.
The Anaconda copper is about 40 per
cent of all produced in the United
States. If the Anaconda shuts down
the price of copper will go up and Clark
will profit enormously in his United
Verde product. AS he maintains low
wage scale there, his profits will be all
the greater. Any way the situation
may be viewed, it looks bad for Daily
and may be serious for all the mine
laborers there.

REPUBLIC.

The winze on the Quilp in Republic
camp has reached depth of 200 feet,
below the tunnel level. Stopping in
the 50-foot level and the 100-foot level
will soon begin.
The specimens ore from the Roaring
Eagle on Bride Creek near Republic,
taken from the 10-foot ledge matter av-
erages $S1 per ton. There is three
feet that runs very high. The whole
ore body can be concentrated about five
to one This would bring the concen-
trates up to a value of $4O5. This is
showing higher average than any 9th
er ore that has been sampled on the
reservation, when its quantity is con-
sidered.
At the present time the pay roll of
Republic camp is about $4,000 per
month. Within the next 60 days is
will certainly be much greater, and by
early winter there will be at least 500
persons on the roll, which means $4,000
per day, or $4,000 per month. In the
matter of employees, the Republic takes
the lead with 1859; then comes the
Mountain Lion with rs, the Quilp with
20 and the Tom Thumb with the same
number.

All the Passengers Are Safe.

Buffalo, July 9.-The large passenger
steamer Pearl, running as an excursion
boat to Crystal Beach from Buffalo, was
by a storm which swept in from the shore.
The Pearl had on board several hundred
excursionists. The tug Office was notified
and two tugs attempted to go to the res
cue of the Pearl, but both were unable TO
breast the heavy sea and were driven back
to port.
A message from Crystal Beach says the
Pearl went aground as she was leaving
her dock. OF the 900 passengers on board
700 had been taken ashore when the mes
sage was sent and there was no doubt
the others would be landed without diff
Guilty.
