apects to tbe President Opea
Houses Elsevrherc.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. President
Roosevelt's first public reception -was at
tended more largely than any New Year's
reception In a number of years. In all,
SJ0O persons filed through the White House
and shook hands -with the President. Mr.
Roosevelt, on being apprised that the
crowd in line outside the White House
was unusually large, gave order that the
gates should not be closed until the last
person desiring to do so should have an
opportunity to pay his respects. The re
ception began promptly at 11 o'clock, and
it was 2:30 o'clock before the last person
in line had been presented to the Presi
dent and a. quarter of an hour later before
the reception came to an end. The weath
er was delightful, being clear and crisp,
so that no hardship was suffered by the
throng that waited for hours before ad
mission to the White House. The recep
tion was in every way successful, the at
tendance not only being large, but the
decorations really beautiful, the arrange
ments perfect and the President in excel
lent spirits. To each person he extended
a cordial, happy New Year, and Mrs.
Roosevelt was equally pleasing to each of
those who filed past the line In the Blue
parlor, where the receiving party stood.
Miss Alice Roosevelt was conspicuous
among those assisting at the reception.
A party of very young girl friends, by in
vitation, also participated in the function.
In the outer corridor, just within the
entrance, the band of the Engineer Corps,
U. S. A., 60 strong, on brilliant uni
forms, were ranged in tiers, while fur
ther along In the conservatory was the
full membership of the Marine Band, in
bright red unlfdrms. While the musicians
were taking their places, the Roosevelt
children were having a merry time
through the corridors, and one of them
could be heard playing the "Kangaroo
March" In the private apartments of the
party.
Shortly before 11 o'clock the throng of
distinguished callers began to assemble in
the main corridor. First came the mem
bers of the diplomatic corps, in their rich
court uniforms, resplendent in medals
and decorations. It was a most cosmo
politan throng, with the Oriental silks of
the Chinese Minister and his suite, the
red fez of the Turkish Ambassador and
the more modern but equally gorgeous
attire of the Japanese and Coreans con
spicuous amid the groups of diplomatists.
The members of the corps gathered in
the Red parlor, preparatory to being pre
sented to the President and those about
him.
Exactly at 11 o'clock a fanfare from
three trumpeters stationed at the further
end of the main corridor announced tne
approach of the President and the receiv
ing party. At the same moment President
and Mrs. Roosevelt appeared at the up
per landing of the corridor, and arm
in arm descended the stairway, while the
Marine Band broke into "Hail to the
Chief." The President bowed as he passed
along, frequently giving a cheery response
to the New Year's greetings extended to
him from those in the line.
The President was in the conventional
black frock coat He had no boutonnlere
and the gray striped black scarf was the
only bit of color in his attire. Following
the President and his wife came the mem
bers of the Cabinet and their wives, the
Secretary of State and Mrs. Hay, the
Secretary of the Navy and Miss Long,
the Postmaster-General and Mrs. Smith,
the Attorney-General and Mrs. Knox, the
Secretary of the Interior and. Mrs. Hitch
cock, the Secretary of Agriculture and
MLss Wilson and Secretary and Mrs.
Cortelyou.
Mrs. Roosevelt looked exceedingly pretty
and youthful in a white dress, une mate
rial was a very heavy white silk, corded
about an Inch apart A square of Irish
lace with reveres of lace trimmed the
bodice, and the high collar, also of lace,
was finished at the back with a rosette of
white tulle. A few Jewels were worn in
the corsage, and diamond-tipped combs
held back the smoothly dressed hair. An
ornament of white leaves, in which dia
mond drops glistened, was also worn in
the hair. Mrs. Roosevelt's right glove,
which was snowy white at the start, was
far from that color an hour later, but the
tired little hand within it gave no evi
dence that its owner felt any fatigue.
The bouquet she carried was of pink and
purple orchids.
Mrs. Root wore pale blue satin-striped
crepe and a deep collarette of Irish point.
Mrs. Knox was in white brocade and crys
tal passementeries. Mrs. Smith wore
light-gray satin. Mrs. Hitchcock was in
mauve brocade and lace, and Miss Wilson
In white satin that had appliques of leaves
and roses in natural colors. Miss Roose
velt was In pure white moussellne de sole,
and wore the pearls and diamond orna
nients that were her father's Christmas
gifts. Mrs. George B. Cortelyou wore
black velvet with broad bands of duchesse
pcint. Her sister. Miss Hinds, wore black
satin-striped grenadine.
The Presidential party took up their
station in the blue parlor with the Presi
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt, Immediately
alongside the entrance, ready to grasp tbe
hands of callers as they were announced?
The Cabinet ladies formed a long line ex
tending from Mrs. Roosevelt to the furth
er end of the room, while back of the re
ceiving line were grouped the members
of the Cabinet and a gay party of young
people. As soon a& the President took
his position, he turned to the many ladles
invited behind the line and gave each of
them in turn a warm greeting and the
well wishes of the day. Then the signal
was given for admitting the distinguished
official callers who, by this time, filled the
outer corridors to overflowing.
Diplomatic Corps.
As Dean of the Diplomatic Corps the
British Ambassador, Lord Fauncefote, is
usually the first of the foreign callers to
greet the President. Today, however, ho
wa& absent from the line, having conveyed
his greetings to the President, and the
head of the line was taken by Lady
Paunccfote and the Misses Pauncefote and
the many military. Naval and civil mem
bers of the British embassy, all of the of
ficers In full uniform. The French Ambas
sador, M. Cambon, with all the members of
the embassy staff were next In line. The
Ambassador had hurried from Paris in
order to pay his New Year's respects to
the President. He looked hale and hearty
after his six months In Europe.
Following him came the German Ambas
sador, Dr. von Holleben, accompanied by
a retinue of dashing young officers of the
German Army and Navy, some of them in
the red uniforms of the Hussars, others
in the white uniform of the Kaiser's per
sonal escort and still others with the
sweeping plumes and chapeaux of uie
quarter deck.
The Russian Ambassador, Count Cassinl,
the Italian Ambassador and the Spanish
Ambassador were similarly attended by1
large official staffs.
Following the Ambassadors came the
Ministers of Austria-Hungary, Switzer
land. Japan, China, Brazil, Argentina,
Turkey, Belgium and many other coun
tries. President Roosevelt's manner of greet
ing his callers was exceedingly gracious
and happy. As each guest was announced
by Colonel Bingham, the President grasped
the hand of the visitor, and wished him a
hearty New Year, often accompanying this
with some felicitous expression to any
one recognized as a close friend. There
was no hurrying along of the callers, and
often there was considerable delay while
pleasantries were exchanged.
Mrs. Roosevelt proved to be a most
charming New Year's hostess, and the
cordiality of her greetings reminded many
of the callers of the days when Mrs.
Cleveland was mistress of the White
House.
After the members of the diplomatic
corps came Chief Justice" Fuller and the
Associate Justices of the United States
Supreme Court, and following them the
Judges of all the other high Federal courts
in Washington, representing as a whole
the judicial branch of the Government.
Next came the legislative branch. Senators
and Representatives in Congress.
There was another flash of gold lace and
clank of saber and spurs when at 11:40 the
highest ranking officers of the Army and
Navy were received. Side by side, at the
head of the Army contingent, strode the
stalwart, well-known figures of Lieuten-ant-Gcneral
Nelson A. Miles, commanding
the Army, and Major-General Henry C.
Corbln, Adjutant-General. General Miles
was in the full uniform of his high rank,
with heavily gold embroidered cap and
wide gold scarf across his breast from
shoulders to hip. Following him camo the
many officers of his staff and tho heads of
Army staffs stationed in Washington.
In view of recent events, expectation
was on tip-toe as General Miles appeared
before the President, but the curious were
not rewarded with anything unusual. The
President greeted General Miles with the
same hearty courtesy he had shown to
others, and General Miles returned the
salutation In the some spirit, and then
passed smiling along the line, exchanging
well wishes with the ladles.
Admiral Dewey was another of the dis
tinguished callers to engage the atten
tion of the crowds. He was at the head
of a long line of naval officers, all in
uniform, and including the ranking Rear
Admirals and heads of the naval staff de
partments. The Admiral wore the superb
sword voted to him by Congress for the
victory of Manila, and on his breast was
the Congressional medal commemorating
that event He, too, was most cordially
welcomed "by the President The officers
of the Marine Corps, with Brigadier-General
Heywood at their head, followed the
Navy. After them came officials of the
many branches of the Government
The- Public Received.
At 12:30 the reception to the public be
gan, and great crowds accepted this first
opportunity to grasp the hand of the
President At that hour, the crowd at the
outer gate stretched away in both direc
tions f6r several blocks. All stations, col
ors, creeds, sexes and ages were repre
sented in the motley throng which el
bowed, up to the President The latter In
no way relaxed his cordiality and gave all
the same cheery greeting. For more than
an hour this human stream flowed past
the President
As the last of the callers filed by, the
President took Mrs. Roosevelt on his arm
and, amid the strains of a quickstep by
the Marine Band, the Presidential and
Cabinet party withdrew to the private
quarters of the mansion. Although several
thousand people grasped the hand of the
President, he showed little fatlguc.and
Mm Roosevelt also underwent the strain
without apparent discomfort It was esti
mated by the White House attendants
that 440O more people passed before the
receiving party than at President Mc
Klnley's reception last year. Veteran offi
cials regarded it as one of the largest and
most successful receptions ever held.
Following the reception at the White
House, the prlr.cipal social events of the
day here were the receptions of the Cab
inet officers. Secretary Hay, following the
usual practice, entertained the entire
diplomatic body at noon.
The Government departments, and most
of the stores were closed, and the? day
generally was observed as a holiday.
Although there was no general reception
by the members of the diplomatic corps,
some of them kept open house, and enter
tained a large number of callers. Particu
larly was this the case with the legations
from the Orient, the Chinese, Japanese
and Corean Ministers being at home to
those who came. The Chinese new year
does not occur until about a month from
now, but Mr. Wu, following the practice
of the country in which he IS stationed,
participated in the festivities of the 2ew
Year's day, and, assisted by the members
of his suite, received many callers at the
handsome home of the legation. Minister
Wu always gives his friends a cup of tea,
any many of them enjoyed his hospitality
today.
Minister Takahira, of Japan, and his
wife celebrated New Year's day as they
would at home, where our calendar is
used, and the New Year Is the greatest;
event of the season. The members of the
legation Joined in the festivities.
At the Corean legation New Year's day
was observed in much the same way as in
this country. Dinner was given this even
ing, and was attended only by gentlemen,
there being no women among the house
hold. The President rounded out a very busy
day by visiting the new National The
ater tonight to witness Francis Wilson
in "The Toreador." It was strictly a fam
ily party, the President being accompan
ied by Mrs. Roosevelt and the children.
The capacious theater was crowded to the
walls.
NEW YEAR'S DAY AT BERLIN.
Representative of the Foreign Povr
crs Received by the Emperor.
BERLIN, Jan. 1. The New Year's fes
tivities were marked by the emergence of
the court from mourning. There was a
service in the morning at the chapel of
the palace, in the presence of the imper
ial family. Chancellor von Buelow and
other dignitaries. After the" ceremony of
nailing to their staffs the standards of
several new corps, the Emperor and Em
press received the diplomats. Later In the
afternoon the Emperor returned the calls
of the Ambassadors. Emperor William's
appearance on the streets was the occa
sion of a public ovation. The New Year's
reception Is a function to which no dip
lomat of lower rank than an Ambassador
is Invited. His Majesty was in high hu
mor and lively today. He conversed .with
each of the eight Ambassadors In their
own language, except in the case of the
Turkish Ambassador, and even to him the
Emperor uttered a few happy phrases in
Turkish.
In his conversation with Ambassador
White the Emperor referred to President
Rpceeevll's message in most appreciative
terms, saying that Mr. Roosevelt "evi
dently knows his mind and speaks it;
says what he means, and means what he
says." His Majesty accepted and recip
rocated the personal congratulations and
good wishes recently sent to him by Pres
ident Roosevelt through the United States
Ambassador, and spoke cordially respect
ing the United States, especially referring
to the progress-made in shipbuilding, and
expressed his satisfaction at the perfectly
friendly relations under which the two
nations begin the new year. His Majesty
then expressed high expectations of the
success of his new yacht, and, when re
newing his charge to Mr. White .to pre
sent his personal good wishes to Presi
dent Roosevelt, the Emperor added the
request that at the launching of the
yacht the President's daughter should be
allowed to name the vessel.
Aastln's Neiv Yecr'u Poem.
NEW YORK. Jan. L The forthcoming
number of the Independent will print a
poem by Alfred Austin, poet laureate of
England, entitled "Together," and dedi
cated "With warmest sympathy to the
American people." Following are the
two closing verses, which speak best the
sentiment of the poem:
Should envious aliens plan and plot
'Gainst one and now the other.
They swift would learn how strong the knot
Binds brother unto brother.
How quickly they would chanse their tack,
And show the recreant feather,
Should Star and Stripe and Union Jack
But float roast-high together.
Now let us Rive one hearty grip.
As by true men are given.
And vow fraternal friendship.
That never shall be riven.
And with our peaceful flags unfurled
Be fair or foul the weather
Should need arise, face all the world.
And stand or fall together.

INDIANAPOLIS BELLE TO MARRY FA3IOUS EXPERIMENTER,
Miss Josephine Bo wen Holmes, of Indianapolis, Ind., who Is to be married to
Guglielmo Marconi, the great wireless telegraphic experimenteri has her trous
rteau completed, and la ready to have the nuptial knot tied. The secret wan not
known to her friends until recently, and Its leaking out has caused no little In
terest In the metropolis of the 'Hoosler State. Miss Hotman Is5 a young woman
of rare attainments, and Is quite popular In Indianapolis soolety-etrcles.
cesslve, the remedy rests with him to
rebuke those who are charged with the
administration of his local affairs." The
Legislature is recommended to frame a
law which will give the State Board of
Tax Commissioners greater power to en
force the rule against excessive as well
as low assessments.
Discussing the related subjects of
sumptuary legislation and local option,
the Governor says In part:
"Local option, as it relates to the liquor
traffic, is understood as meaning that in
all communities, other than cities, the in
habitants thereof shall have the right to
determine whether liquor shall be sold
In such communities six days of the week
and upon the determination of that ques
tion the excise department predicates its
administration. This right was given be
cause hefore the enactment of the pres
ent excise law, it was in the power of
the voters or the authorities in the mu
nicipalities, or in the villages, to abso
lutely prohibit the sale of liquor by
electing or appointing a board opposed to
the granting of such license. But If by
local option Is meant the right to de
termine whether the doors of the saloons
mar legally remain open on Sundays, then
a different proposition is placed and fixed
rules, which have governed the admin
istration of our excise laws, are neces
sary and it then becomes a question
which concerns not only a part but every
section of our state Each locality owes
to all others a due regard for their rights
and convictions and their moral and
physical comfort"
In order to remedy the evasion of tax
laws hy corporations, the Governor sug
gests that local assessors be-given author
ity to compel corporations to furnish
tests of stockholdings. The Governor
also recommends that the divorce laws bo
amended so that a decree shall not bo
absolute until six months after it Is
granted.
A number of bills were Introduced and
then the Lcgicslaturo adjourned until
Monday evening.
MARYLAND LEGISLATURE.
Democrats Preparing; to Contest the
Seats of Six Republicans.
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Jan. L The General
Assembly of Maryland began Its delibera
tions today and, after a brief", session, ad
journed for a week In order to allow
time to make up the committees.
Noble L. Mitchell, of Hartford -County,
was elected Speaker of the House, and
Senator John Hubhtr, of Baltimore Coun
ty, was re-elected President of the Sen
ate. All of the officers of the last ses
sion were re-electd in both Houses. The
fact that notices of contests for the seats
of six Republicans in the House and one
n the Senate were presented indicates that
the Democrats' desire a more comfortable
working majority both on joint ballot and
In the House than they now have, and
as the results In all the cases brought up
today were very close, it seems likely
that eome changes will be made In the
present make-up of the Assembly. The
coming election of a United States Senator
created but little comment, as It Is al
most universally believed that for Sena
tor Mr. Gorman will have no difficulty
in securing the prize when the balloting
begins.

NEW arAYOR OF NEW YORK.
Setk Low Takes .Up the Datles of
His Position.
NEW YORK, Jan. l.--Seth Low, ex
Mayor of Brooklyn, and president of the
Columbia University, until he gave up
that position to become a candidate for
the Mayoralty on a fusion ticket, became
Mayor of New York today. At the same
time there was an almost complete turn
ing over of city and county offices by
Democratic Incumbents to tho candidates
elected on the fusion ticket in November.
The changes in elected offices included
the District Attorney, the Controller, the
presidents of the boroughs, the Sheriff,
the County Registrar and the County
Clerk. The successful ones were all can
didates on the fusion ticket except the
presidents of the Bronx and Queens bor
oughs, where the Democrats were suc
cessful. Of the appointed officers, the im
portant ones included the retirement of
MARCONI.
o
Police Commissioner Michael C. Murphy,
who was succeeded by John N. Part
ridge, and the appointment of George L.
Rives to be corporation counsel In place
of John Whalen. Of the" 35 district lead
ers of Tammany Hall, IS lost their places
in the public service today.
Mr. Low went to the City Hall about
noon and was received by Mr. Van Wyck,
who shook the new Mayor's hand and
said:
"The time having arrived when my
term of office expires, I take great pleas
ure In turning it over to you. You came
here by right of the people as Mayor of
the greatest city on earth. Let me as
sure you that it Is my sincere desire thzt
you way have a peaceable and successful
administration. I wish you a happy New
Year."
Mr. Low replied, saying: "I thank you
for your kindly greetings to mo and for
your kind words. I speak fop myself and
my fellow-cltlzcns, I am sure, when I
wish you success."
Mr. Low then took the oath of office,
after which he held a reception at the
City Hall.
When "Deputy Commissioner of Police
Devery was introduced to his successor,
Colonel Thurston, ho asked the new Com
missioner, Colonel Partridge, to assign
him to duty as a member of the uniform
force of the city. He claimed that the
act of the Legislature last Winter In
abolishing the office of Chief of Police
was Illegal. Colonel Partridge said that
he would do nothing until the courts de
cided the question.
In an address to the captains, Commis
sioner Partridge said that he belleve.1
that the Police Department of New York,
which had freely been spoken of as tho
"finest In the world," had fallen from Its
former high standard. He said he knew
that the duties of a policeman were many
and daring. He did not believe that the
most sanguine reformers expected to see
a perfectly orderly condition restored In
this city In a day, but he did believe that
they expected Improvement to follow im
provement until there was a radical
change for the better. Colonel Partridge
said that the best way to check the evils
of gambling In various forms was to
strike at those places that have In the
most persistent manner defied the law.
The new Commissioner said that the peo
ple expected greater vigilance In the pro
tection of persons and property and in
tho prevention of every descrlptidn of
crime.
According to the Journal and American,
C. D. Dlnsdale, Lord Mayor of London,
has sent the following cablegram of con
gratulation to Seth Low:
"In the name and on behalf of the citi
zens of London I congratulate you on
your entrance into office, and sincerely
trust that your administration may be
attended by such results as will conduce
to the happiness and prosperity of the
inhabitants of your world-renowned city.
I cordially Wish you health and strength
In the performance of this distinguished,
honorable and arduous duty."

Morgan Has a Flfty-MIlllon-Dollar
Deal Under Way.
NEW YORK, JanTl. J. Pierpont Mor
gan has under way a deal of vast im
portance to the electrical world, involving
a combined capital of $50,000,000, says the
Herald. The Westlnghouse Electric &
Manufacturing Company, of Pittsburg,
and the General Electric Company, in
which Mr. Morgan is the controlling fac
tor, are to be brought together and op
erated Under the community of interest
plan. The news of the proposed merger,
reports of whldh have been current for
some days in well informed circles In Wall
street, have been officially confirmed. No
statement will be made until the merger
Is accomplished.
This merger wilt bring together hot only
two companies with a capitalization of
nearly J5O.O9O.O0O,. but the two largest man
ufacturers of electrical apparatus In the
United States will pass Into tho hands of
a syndicate, of which Mr. Morgan will be
the central figure. The companies have
branches in England, France and Ger
many, which will also pass into tho hands
of one central organization.
Additional color has been lent to the re
port that a community of Interest schema
Is being evolved between the two compa
nies by the fact that George Westing
house, the president of the company which
bears his name, has been here In JfeW
York recently and has conferred frequent
ly with Mr. Morgan.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1. One of the offi
cials of the Westlnghouse Electric &
Manufacturing Company today said the
published report that Westlnghouse and
Morgan are arranging a plan by which the
Westlnghouse Company and the General
Electric Company are to be merged has
no foundation so far as he Is aware.

Canada is believed to be less disposed to

with America are on a favorable footing,
will not be allowed to pass without a
general settling up.
