DIPLOMATIC RECEPTION.
First Formal Levee of President and
 Mrs Roosevelt.


 Mrs Roosevelt.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-President and Mrs. Roosevelt gave reception at the White House last night in honor of the diplomatic corps. It was the first formal evening levee of the sea- son and the first at which President and Mrs. Roosevelt have been the host and hostess. A full representation of the diplomatic corps made the affair notably brilliant.
 The floral decorations were hand. some and elaborate There was a deli cate draping of the immense chande- Hers in the east room with a wealth of smilax, the immense mirrors were banked with roses, carnations, hya- cinths and lilies of the valley, while iIi the large recesses around the room there were large jars of variegated crotons.
 The ceiling, pillars and other DOT tions of the room were beautifully dec orated. In the large red, blue and green parlors the floral displays were simple in character, being confined to a few glowing plants and cut flowers. President and Mrs. Roosevelt receiv. ed their guests in the blue room. Their entrance was announced by a fanfare of trumpets by members of the United States engineer band stationed in the long corridor. Assisting the president and Mrs. Roosevelt were Mrs. Root Mrs. Knox, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Hitch cock and Miss Wilson.
 The diplomatic corps,. accompanied by the ladies of the legations, assem. bled in the red parlor and, headed by Sir Julian Pauncefote, the dean of the corps, passed the receiving party, the introductions being made by Colonel Theodore Bingham. After them were received the higher officials of the ar my and navy, the members of the su. preme court, many senators and repre- sentatives in congress and a large number of resident society folk of Washington. President Roosevelt gave every visitor hearty handclasp and a cordial welcome

Two Republican Members of the
Legislature Explain their Votes.

G. w. Bumgarner and Harry e. Johnson,
the two Baltimore City Republicans who last
week voted against laying the Senate message
to elect a State treasurer on the table, when
all the other Republicans followed the lead of
Mr.. Straus in advocating it, have given out
the following statement, prepared by MIR.
Bumgarner and Endorsed by Mr.. Johnson
"You may say to the real Republicans of
MARYLAND that claim that there are no bet
ter party men at Annapolis than Mr. johnson
and myself. When the party leaders so far
forget themselves as to transfer the manage
ment of our party affairs over to Democrat,
then we say halt. Mr.. Straus, Democrat,
who criticised, condemned and ridiculed our
party on the stump in the recent campaign,
has been cutting out the work for the Repub
licans here at Annapolis ever since the con-
yening of the General Assembly, and we sim
ply won't stand for it. We hold a caucus, and
by rapid transit process decide to follow his
lead-no matter what the question is-and
when we take our seats we know nothing about
the program to be carried out, but sit there
with our eyes wide open and watch for the
finger of Mr.. Straus to go up, then each little
Republican must get ready to sustain him, not
knowing when we start into what extent we
are going to stultify ourselves.
.'Only recently we voted with him to ad-
iourn the House from Wednesday to Friday
night. What did we accomplish? Does any
one know? do. We simply put ourselves
to the expense and trouble of coming down
here on Friday night, when we might have
gone ahead with public business, gotten
through by the next day, and gone home for
the balance of the week. Then, again, we
accomplished the wonderful feat of securing
Offices for the friends of few Democratic
MANNERS that the Democratic managers were
compelled to straighten up, and this left Mr..
Straus without single Democratic vote to
back him up.
''Mr. Straus has contributed nothing that
has aided the Republicans, but is continually
using them to wreak his vengeance on the
regular Democratic managers for not making
him Speaker. We are opposed to the Straus-
mugwump combination and in favor of simon,
pure Republican leadership.

Mrs. Mary G.. Nusbaum, wife of Charles E.
Nusbaum, of this place, died of pneumonia on
Sunday morning last. Mrs. Nusbaum was
the only daughter of j. VIM. Earhart, Esq,
and the sister of DR.. j. w. T. Earhart. She
was aged AZ years and Is days. She was
faithful wife, most devoted mother, and a
good neighbor. She is survived by husband
and eight children. The interment took place
in the cemetery at Silver Run on Tuesday
afternoon. Her pastor, Rev. S. Hartman. of
tie Reformed Church, preached the funeral
sermon.
There is much sickness and quite number
of deaths in this community Many cases of
pneumonia are proving fatal The many
friends of Messrs. Adam r. Yingling and c.
D. Rusher will be pleased to learn that they
have so far recovered from a recent attack of
pneumonia as to be able to be up in their
rooms.
Mrs Orestes Feeser, near this place, mar
rowly escaped being seriously or fatally burned
last week. While working in the kitchen her
clothing took fire upon her back and was not
discovered by her until in flames. By her
presence of mind and by the assistance of her
husband the fire was extinguished before she
was severely burned.
A series of meetings is now i'll progress at
the M. E. Church. this place, conducted by
Rev. l.. l.. Tompkinson, pastor, assisted by
his excellent wife, which will continue until
Sunday evening next and perhaps longer, 1t
interest warrants its continuance.

The Philippines.

The United States Senate is now engaged
in considering tariff bill for the Philippine
Islands, The Republican measure, fathered
by Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, proposes
the Dingley tariff rates, less reduction OF 70
per cent. The Democrats oppose that bill
with one proposing free trade with the United
States, because the Supreme Court has decided
the Philippines to be United States territory,
and declaring that whenever the Filiplnos
shall be able TO set up stable government
the resident must direct withdrawal OF
United States military and naval forces 1t
is contended that free trade would be benetl-
cial to the Philippines and to us, and that a
declaration of elf-government for the filipl-
nos would result in immediate cessation OF
hostilities. The Democratic measure, OF
course, will be voted down, but the debate is
expected to last some weeks, and may result
in concessions in tariff rates. Several Repub-
licans, notably Senator Hoar, of Massachu-
sets, will speak and vote for free trade and
self government for the Filipinos.

Oysters and Roads.

Mr.. B. Howard Hannah, a Baltimore attor-
ney, has prepared two bills to submit to the
Legislature. One proposes to lease the I'M
productive bottoms of the Chesapeake bay and
Tributaries for oyster cultivation. The farm
ers owning land adjacent to the waters fit for
oyster culture to have first right to lease the
bottoms; the boatmen to have second choice4
then the citizens of the State generally. The
revenue from the leases, Mr.. Hannah esti-
mates, win be from $500, 600 to $500, 900, and
this sum he would have applied to making
and repairing roads throughout the State.
Mr.. Hannah bases the laws upon the needs
of the farmers and packers-the farmers need
good roads and the packers need more oys-
tiers. The farmers, as rule, are not making
any special stir about roads, and can have
them just as good as they are willing to pay
for. There is always room for improvement,
Of course especially in Southern Maryland
In that section the great need is a good road
law like Carroll has, and the road system
taken out of politics.
Mr.. Hannah, however, is in the right line
on the oyster question. There is mint OF
money in the bottom of the Chesapeake, and
the State ought to realize on it. If leased,
cultivated and properly protected, the reve-
nue., it has been estimated, will far exceed
the figures stated by Mr.. Hannah. As to the
disposition Of the revenue, part would be
needed for protection of the leased lands, aad
the balance would be better expended ia sup
port of the government. This would make pos
sible reelection in the State tax rate, and it
the people desire more money for public roads
the County Commissioners in each county
could add like amount to the rate for road
purposes. Some counties may have as much
money as they care to expend, or might de-
sire to levy only part of the reduction made
in the State levy, and each should be allowed
TO regulate the matter as they see fit.
State supervisors of roads would be slow,
ineffective and expensive. The control OF
the public highways should be near to the
people, and strict accountability will be en-
forced

First class hickory wood is very scarce in
this part of the county. The Absolom Zepp
Manufacturing Company has it pretty well
hunted up for axe handles. s. j. Ham has
large load at the factory to be turned into

Trump & Oman have moved their engine
and saw mill from the Hammer wood lot to
John T. Reeds, to saw house frame, as soon
as they get through with the engine, for they
are very busy threshing grain for the farmers
at this writing. Mr.. Trump is talking about
buying wood lot which he will saw out as
soon as they get through at Mr.. Reeds.
The debating society met last Friday even
ing. 1t was largely attended. The question
was (Which enjoys life best, the Farmer or
the Professional Man." There were some
sides, but as the judges were all farmers they
gave their decision in favor of the farmers.
The next question will be sis a man architect
to his destiny or not.

Counting Miss Columbia.

Miss Columbia is so popular that the heads
of European governments are jealous of each
other in securing her favor, and all because
the United States has demonstrated great
power on the sea and is largely adding to her
strength. Great Britain, with strained rela-
tons toward France and not very cordial ones
with Germany, courled our friendship by I'M
usual show of neutrality during the Spanish
American war. So pronounced was the neu-
trality a British American alliance was sus-
peeted, and many of the people of this coun-
try we're led to believe that England had warm
friendship for u.s. In return for this show of
neutrality the Mckinley Administration made
as strong show of neutrality while England
was destroying two republics in South Africa
The Boer Commissioners were not received
officially, and the Administration forces in
Congress smothered every resolution of SYM
pathy for the struggling Beers.
Germany, becoming jealous of the atten-
tons of John Bull to Miss Columbia, and
Miss Columbia's reciprocations, concluded to
send over the Kaiser's brother to coquet with
Miss Columbia. Seeing this John Bull has
had announced in Parliament, and thus to the
world, that he had stood aloof when requested
to intervene in the Spanish American war by
Austria. Not to be outdone the Kaiser an
nounces that Germany had been requested to
intervene also, but not by Austria, and had
declined. So far John Bull and the Kaiser
are upon an equal footing and it is now up to
Japan, who was said to be friendly to Miss
Columbia, to assert that she had been APP.
preached to avert the war with Spain.
However, the German Prince, the King
brother, is to visit us, and Congress has APP
propriated SAC, 600 for his entertainment. 1t
will be in order now for John Bull to send a
visitor to us, and then other governments may
be inclined to send suitors for Miss Column
bias favor Miss Columbia desires the
friendliness and attention of all foreign gov
ernments, even it they are expensive, but the
danger is that bad feelings may ensue between
the rivals. Already there is some estrange-
ment being brought about over the matter of
Intervention, and the seriousness of it may be
inferred when official announcement of the
two leading powers has been considered neces-
sary.

Undertaking. the Western Md R. R.

Hambleton & Co., bankers of Baltimore,
who are endeavoring to buy the Western Md.
Railroad as agent for other parties, and incl
dentally to make handsome profit for them
selves, have been industriously at work trying
to depreciate the property. And this firm OF
bankers pose as railroad experts and assume
to know more about the affairs of the Western
Maryland Railroad, its mileage. its tonnage,
its freight charges and contracts than Col.
Hood, the President, who rescued the prop
erty from bankruptcy and built it up to its
present proportions, making it the best trade
artery of the city, traversing as it does large
section, the equal of any like area in the whole
country. COL Hood on Tuesday very con-
cusively exposed all the mistatements OF
Hambleton & Co., and showed that the net
earnings of the road, capitalized at four per
cent, indicates a value of 10000, 600,
whereas Hambleton & Co. have placed its
value at about 100000 Beaten at every
point by Col Hood as to facts, the banking,
railroad-expe firm come to the contest again
and say wait until the books can be examined,
indicating that they have more intimate
knowledge of what the books will reveal than
those who keep them.
Hambleton & Co. evidently have large pro-
fits in view as purchasing agents, or they would
not undertake to belittle the section tributary
to the Western Maryland road, including the
place of the nativity of the head of the firm,
and to undervalue property in which Balti-
more and Washington county have large pc
cuniary interest and many individual citizens
of Baltimore, Carroll, Frederick and Wash
ington counties also. For personal gain it
appears they are willing to sacrifice anything.
They seem to be for Hambleton q Co. only;
no matter who suffers, SO they gain.

Baltimore and Marylanders own but one
railroad that traverses its soil. Besides
the railroads, nearly all the shipping interests
are controlled by outsiders. This one hold
ing, the Western Maryland Railroad, should
be carefully guarded, least it pass into hands
that are more interested in other places than
in Baltimore and Maryland.
