ARMY, NAVY AND Ma
RINE CORPS.

Following the congressional delegation
came the army and navy contingent.
From a popular point of view that is one
| of the most attractive features of the
New Year day gathering at the White
| House. 1t is true that the members OF
| the diplomatic body in their gorgeous
uniforms and regalia are the cynosure
| of all eyes. but after all their passage is
OF short duration: they come to the
White House in closed carriages. singly
or in couples, and form no part of the
| line of guests which the public is able to
view. Also the diplomats are obliged to
make their White House visit exceedingly
short In order that they may hurry away
to attend the diplomatic breakfast given
in their honor by the Secretary of State
at the n-American building.
But the army and navy contingent makes
brilliant spectacle. Every officer of the
two services. as we'll as of the marine
branch. now in Washington, was under
orders to report at 11:25 o'clock at the
War and Navy departments. respectively.
Consequently at that hour the halls of
the great buildings were filled with bril-
liantly uniformed soldiers. sailors and ma
rneS. The army officers gathered in the
offices of Maj. Gen. Wood. chief of staff.
Headed by Lieut.. Gen. Miles. retired. and
Gen. Wood. the line. in double file. moved
slowly through the corridors and down
the granite staircase on the eastern ap-
proach. and across Executive avenue to
