WHITE HOUSE CRITICISED.

Washington, March 1.-The archi-
tectial changes made In the white
house was subjected to a large share
Of yesterdays discussion In the senate
and they we're generally criticised as
falling far short of the improvements
which should have been secured with
the 100000 appropriated for the pur-
pose. The discussion arose In con-
nection with the considerations of the
bill providing for the erection of q
building for the joint use of the de-
partments Of state, justice and COM
merce and labor. Senator Gallinger re-
ferred to the white house changes,
saying that that work had been in
/ the hands Of an architect OF great rep
utation. He said that as a result of
his efforts a part of the executive man
sion had been spoiled and that the Of
flee of the president was an eyesore

ing at this excrescence," he said,
could not do otherwise than regret
that the plans had not been supplied
by some architect from country town
In New Hampshire or Missouri"
Senator Tillman styled the presi-
dents Office as an abortion and the
Washington post office an abomina-
ton. Consideration of the bill was
not concluded.
During the consideration of the Dis
trict Of Columbia appropriation bill in
the house yesterday Mr.. Scott, of Kan
sas made the declaration that a negro
had dined at the white house with
President Cleveland during the latter's
first administration. The statement
was prompted by reference by Mr..
Gilbert, of Kentucky, to the dining Of
Booker T. Washington at the white
house. When the name was demand

Cleveland as recorder of deeds for the |
