THE PRESIDENT STILL WEAK.
White House Social Programme
Likely to Be Abandoned.


All arrangements for the remaining So
cial functions at the White House this
season viii. as it now looks. be Cancelled
owing to the recent illness of the Presi-
dent. The diplomatic reception, which
was planned for January 9, was postponed.
and the invitations for the diplomatic
dinner on January Is were recalled be-
cause Of the Presidents inability to par
ticipate- The indications today are that
the other events also will be eliminated.
The programme as originally published
contemplated holding the judicial reeep-
ton on January %. the Congressional re-
eeption on January 80, the Supreme Court
dinner February 5, the army and navy
reception February 10. and a public recep-
ton February 10.
When the President was first taken Ill
and the diplomatic reception was declared
of. it was thought that a new schedule
could be arranged. but this is now not
likely to be done
While 3ir. Mckinley is steadily i'm
proving and regaining his strength. his
advisers insist that he shall exercise all
possible care in preserving his health.
Further than this. the accumulation of Of
ftcIal business as the session Of Congress
advances viii demand a great deal Of his
attention and the remainder Of his time
VIII be occupied by preparation for the
Inauguration He has his inaugural ad-
dress to write, so that aside from his in
disposition the President viii have little
time 10 devote to social functions
It is regarded as probable, however, that
one and possibly two dinners may be given
at the White House between now and
March I, but these events are only sug-
gested, as the social programme has not
yet been officially Cancelled. The aban-
Comment Of the receptions was talked Of
yesterday at the meeting of the Cabinet,
and all the members agreed that it would
be well not to burden the President with
any social cares for the remainder of the
season
Mrs. Mckinley has been much worried
over the Presidents Illness and while
she has stood the strain remarkably
well. considering her delicate health,
her physician believes that It would not
be prudent for her to perform any
elaborate social duties this winter It IS
also probable that because Of the can
collation. Of the White House programme
the dinners contemplated al the homes
Of several OF the Cabinet ministers. az
which the President was expected to at
tend. viii not be given
The President was not in his Office
this morning He has signed the Reap
pOrtionment bill recently passed BY the
House and Senate. and it is now a law.
Among the callers at the White House
today was a delegation OF Kentuckians
who came in with Representative Pugh
TO pay their respects. In the party were
Col Frank Coles. Edgar Hager, " A
CHM, Mayor Of Ashland: Charles Weaver.
a member Of the Legislature. and J. B.

mittee.

The Senate resumed consideration Of
the Army Reorganization bill this morn
ing the opponents Of the measure being
permitted to make their final arguments
against it before the vote is taken tomor-
row afternoon.
Mr. Money was the first speaker, and
talked against the measure for over an
hour. He favored abolishing the need Of
any large army by giving the FiIipinos
their freedom. He was against placing
extraordinary powers IN the hands of the
President, who, h. said. was a good man
but was sometimes Influenced by his
friends
This recent extradition business IN
Cuba has developed the fact that Mr.
Mckinley is the absolute sovereign OF our
possessions" said Mr. Money During
the campaign Imperialism was scoffed al
