58TH CONGRESS.
District of Columbia Bill Dis
cissed in House.
Some Talk About Negroes Dining
With the President.
White House Changes Subject Of De-
bate in Senate.

Washington, Feb. 29-During the
consideration of the District of Column
bia appropriation bill in the House,
today, Scott, Kansas, made the decia-
ration that a negro had dined at the
White House with President Cleveland
during the latter's first administration.
The statement was prompted by Il
reference by Gilbert. Kentucky, to the
dining of Booker Z. Washington at the
White House. When the name was
demanded. Scott said it was c. II. J.
Taylor. who was appointed by Presi-
dent Cleveland as recorder of deeds Tor
the District of Columbia.
Gilbert observed that he and others
had never heard of the incident. but
the Democrats We're not particularly
claiming Mr.. Cleveland" and Cochran.
No. said it was but cumulative evil
dcnce that there is no better Republic
can in the country than Grover CleFe-
land"
Scott, in contrasting Booker T. WASH
ingtOn with Taylor. said the former
was a man of recognized ability, Wnlie
he declared there was nothing to COM
mend the latter.
A discussion OF the question OF rec
iprocity by DalZeIl. Penn. and Will
liams, the minority leader. consumed
the greater portion of the day.
Another feature of the day was the
declaration by Lowering. Mass, Whlle
:he Republican party was talking ABOUT
standing pat" thousands of dollars
were being lost to manufacturers ana
that "our boosted prosperity IS fast
coming to an end because of the fail
,Ire of the party to cnlarS" the draw
back system and give the new markets
which he declared We're now impaired.
Lowering was loudly ap!laudssi on the
minority side when he took issue with
his party.

John w. Ross.

Commissioner Macfarland today recon-
nended that the proposed new eight-room
public school building to be erected In the
sixth division, in Northeast Washington, be
named the Henry T. Blow School, in honor
of the late Henry 7. Blow. a former Com

eight-room school building to be built in the
first division, In Mt. Pleasant, be named
the John w. Ross School, in honor of the

Mr.. Blow was one of the first District

which the District Is now controlled. He
was appointed Commissioner July /, 1874,
1ust after the territorial form OF govern
ment was done away with by Congress, and
he served until December 81, 1874. The
other members of the commission appointed
to serve with Mr.. Blow were Representative
Ketcham of New York and Gov. Dennison
OF Ohio. In Conjunction with Congress this
commission prepared the present form of
government for the District, which was
adopted In 1878. Miss Susan Blow of st.
Louis, a daughter of the former Commits
sioner Is recognized throughout the coun-
try as leading authority on kindergarten
work and has been greatly Interested In
the work OF the kindergarten schools in
Washington.
The late John w. Ross served the District
as Commissioner from October /, 1850, until
July o. 1902 During large part of his
residence in the capital Mr.. Ross resided In
Mt Pleasant, the section in which win be-
erected the new school building to be
named in his memory. The daughters and
son of the late Commissioners now reside In
Mt. Pleasant.
Commissioners Ross death occurred in
Itxly 1872
