600 guests. but $50 appears to be the
new number.
that the guests began to gasp with
astonishment. Then the cotillon be-
gan and the favors appeared. The
most costly Of these were the French
parasols presented to the women.
They had been made to order and
were hand carved upon the finest of
woods. with long handles and OF silk
Of every color.
Guests never estimate the cost of
such trifes. but q few outsiders val
ued the parasols at $50 each.
Both men and women were provided
with pompadour ribbon scarfs and
sashes fringed with gold and silver.
and as quickly as they were wound
about the shoulders Of the dancers
the ballroom became n kaleidoscope
of color at SIS per color.
Brass bells were among the favors
given the men and they were kept
ringing merrily SO that at times the
orchestras had dificulty in letting II
be known that they still were at
work. The Gardenia boutonnieres
given the men were artificial. but they
were perfumed in a manner to put na.
ture to the test to keep even.
The directoire mirrors that were
among the favors for the women were
two feet in length. the handles of sat.
inwood. and with 75 Of them flashing
back the lights of the ballroom from
all angles they provided a figure OF
dazzling brilliancy.
II there were men present who
never smoked a pipe they must have
been tempted by the splendid combi
nation Of briar. gold and amber pre-.
sented to them. with gold matchboxes
and a gilt fashlight to complete the
outfit. Those who insist upon moth.
ing but cigars were delighted with a
novel gilt cigar lighter.
One Of the last figures provided the
men with bronze desk rulers and pa.
per weights as possible reminder
that there might be work to do at
some future time. while at the same
time the women received bridge
scores as a possible reminder that
they cannot win all the time.
Supper time found all the larg.
tables used for dinner gone and in
their stead were dozens Of little tete.
a-tete tables scattered about the cor.
ridors. with walters ready to inform
guests that a breakfast would be

Washington, March 27.-Ambition of
Representative Townsend OF Michigan
to assume charge Of the administra-
ton railroad bill on the floor OF the
House will not be gratified. the honor
going to Chairman Mann OF the COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce.
This fact developed today and sup
porters of the bill in the form in
which It was originally intro
duced by Representative Townsend as
it now Is pending in the Senate are
greately disappointed.
1t has been thought the intense op-
position OF Mr.. Mann to certain fea-
lures Of the bill as drafted by Attorney
General Wickersham would make him
disinclined to champion it. His sue
cess in incorporating many OF his own

sorship.
Appropriation bills are being passed
by the Senate about as rapidly as
they are received from the house. The
spirit OF retrenchment which has a
firm hold in the Senate committee pre-
cludes the enlargement OF the bills to
any extent.
The naval appropriation bill is be-
fore the House now and there is in
prospect n sharp contest over the ques-
tion whether there shall be construct.
ed two big battleships. or only one. as
the minority OF the committee favors.
a similar fight will be made In the
Senate, where many favor cutting
down the appropriations for the navy
and army.
The postal savings bank bill is ex-
pected to come out OF the House COM
mittee within n few weeks. There is
considerable sentiment in favor OF
amending II SO as to insure the keep
ing OF funds in banks in the vicinity
where collected.
II the row between the regulars and
insurgent Republicans is at an end, as
leaders OF both factions profess to be-
Ieve. 1t would appear that adjourn

contest are smoldering and may break
