BREAKS ALL RECORDS
PRESIDENT GREETs eooo PEOPLE AT
NEW YEARS RECEPTION.
Absence of Formally and Big Crowd
Mark Last Annual Function
of His Term.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 2.-Pres-
ldent Roosevelt and over G000 people,
representing every land, and every state
and territory in the Union, yesterday eX-
changed New Year greetings at the
white house. For three and half hours
the President stood receiving his guests,
and when the reception was ended, last
years record of attendance had been
broken by over 700. Many men and
women distinguished in the official and
social life of Washington were present.
The brilliant court dress Of members
of the diplomatic corps gave pictur-
esque aspect to the annual function,
which throughout was marked by an an,
sence of Formally. The number OF small
children who were brought by their par
ents to shake hands with the IresIuehl
was unprecedented.
There were receptions also at the home
of Vice President Fairbanks, Speaker
Cannon. the members of the cabinet, ana
at hundreds of private homes ana lHSu-
tutions there were receptions ana other
social functions. The closing OF ai the
government departments and local pusi-
ness concerns enabled thousands OF ON
cials and employees to participate III cele-
brating the day. 1t was the last oppor-
tunity of the general public to meet the
present chief executive.
: A shadow of sadness was cast over Ihe
company by the recent terrible calamity
which has fallen upon the Italian people
whose ambassador was present, as the
dean of the diplomatic corps, and by the
absence of the representatives, OF the
Emperor of China, who is wearing
badge Of mourning for the late Emperor
and Dowager Empress of his country.
Chief Justice Fullcr and the associate
,ustices of the supreme court of the
United States led the entire judiciary
present. after which came senators and
representatives in Congress.
Brig. Gen. j. Franklin Bell, chief or
staff, led the army, which was very fully
represented. all of the officers being in
full dress uniform. The navy also was
well represented.

Monday night two fresh and terrible
