GIDEON BROWN RETURNS.
BOSTON, Mass., Jan. 1. Mr. Gideon P.
Brown, formerly senior member of the
failed firm of Brown, Steese & Clark, and
treasurer of the Riverside and 0-wego
mills, arrived here from Canada yesterday.
He disappeared mysteriously from Boston
on August C last. He said to a reporter
last night. ' I have very little talk to
make about my affairs. Enoueh has been
said. I have this to say, however. That I
have returned voluntarily to Boston to do
all in my power in the settlement of ray
affairs and those of the firm. I feel that
my departure was a mistake that I would
not. have made but that the blow
came upon me so suddenly and
was so uulooked for that I
found myself going away from Boston al
most without knowing it. My health was
so affected that it was a long time before
I regained complete possession of my fac
ulties. I was completely used up for
sometime. Now I have returned and will
do all I can to effect a settlement. There
was no reason for mv leaving. If 1 had
had proper time for reflection 1 would not
have done so. I never at heart intended
to wrong anyone."

riot on Fifth avenue this afternoon. They
first attacked a crowd of Italians and

stones and mud were thrown and a general
fight followed. The .streets m the vicinity
were toon blockaded wjta neo;.e and the
regular police being powerless to disperse
the crowd, were cons;iflled to call upon the

and Representatives
Other Celebrations.
WASHINGTON; Jan. 1. The new year be
gan with a cold disagreeable rain which
continued throughout the day and this
naturally had a depressing effect upon
those who had prepared a program for
visits. The white house was, as usual,
tho central point of interest. Never be
fore has there been at a white honse recep
tion such a large and distinguished rep
resentation from other nations of the
world. This was due to the presence, in
addition to the regular diplomatic and
consular officers of other countries, of del
egates to the international maritime con
ference and to the Pan-Ameiican confer
ence. The presence of these distinguished
foreigners was naturally the leading feat
ure of the reception. The mansion had
been specially prepared for the occasion
and when the reception was at its height
presented a spectacle of unusual brilliancy
and beauty. Tho full Marine band, in gay
uniforms of red and blue, played lively
and inspiring music from the time the
president took his stand at the head of the
receiving line in the blue parlor until the
last of the callers had taken his departure,
a period of a little over three hours. The
Interior decorations consisted of a liberal
distribution of tropical and flowerine
plants in all places when1 they could be
displayed to advantage. The general effect
was 'also heightened by the brilliant illu
mination of all the parlors. The red and
green parlors contained a profusion of
plants and flowers but the blue parlors
wherethe reception.was nctually;held,gave
indication of having received the greater
shartj of attention from the decorators.
In this room in addition to the regular
display of raro plants, ferns and smilax,
there was a profusion of cut flowers which
were banked in bright designs UDon the
mantels and served to form n huge bouquet
on the central divan.
The reception did not begin until 11
o'clock, but the vice president aud the
members of the cabinet with the ladies of
their families arrived shortly before that
hour and were shown directly in the presi
dent's presence In the private parlor up
stairs. When everything vis in readiness
the president and party descended to the
blue parlor and took their places in line.
The Marine band signalled their arrival
with tho extremely familiar air "Hail to
the Chief." The nartv entered the bluo
room, Colonel En est, U S. A., and Lieu
tenant Parker, U. S. N., leading. Then
came the president and Mrs. McKee, the
vice president and Mrs. Morton, who were
followed by the members of the cabinet
and their families. Colonel Ernest, of tho
arm j', aud Lieutenant Parker, of the navy,
acted as masters of ceremonies. Mrs. Mc
Kee occupied the place next to the presi
dent. The other ladies assisting were
ranged next in order as follows: Mrs.
Morton, Mrs. Windom, Mrs. Miller, Mrs.
Wanamnker, Mrs. Tracy, Mrs. Noble and
Mrs. Rusk. The toilettes of the ladies
were singularlv rich and becom
ing. The president adhered to the
precedent and shook hands with each
one of the thousands who called. Back of
the receiving line wero a larjte number of
specially invited friends including nearly
all the debutantes of the season. The
moat striking costumes wero those worn
by tho representatives of Russia, Great
Brit tin, France, China and Corea. All
the lecitions wero represented, the Eng
lish and Chinese being the largest in point
of numbers. At the conclusion of the
reception at the white house Vice Presi
dent and Mrs. Morton held a reception at
their new houso and Secretary Blaine re
ceived the members of the diplomatic
corps at his residence. Secretary and Mrs.
Tracy also received the officers of the navy
and Secretary Proctor the officers of tho
army. '
Most of the diplomats were accompanied
by ladies. The abseuce of Hadji Hassin
Khool Khan Mahomet Elvesiiai. the only
Persian minister ever accredited to this
country, was frequently remarked, and no
one seemed able to answer the inquiry
which followed as to whether he will ever
return to Washington.
The colnmu was lead by Baron Flava.
the Italian minister, who is dean of the
corps by virtue of his length of service at
the capitol. With the diplomatic corps
were the delegates to the maratime
and Pan-American conferences. In
many instances, the resident ministers are
delegates to the second conference, but
only to a limited extent, as the majority
of the delegates are not regular membcra
of the legations at this capitoL
The president showed special pleasure in
the reception of the delecates, congratu
lating those of the maratime conference
upon the successful issue of their deliber
ations. The other diplomatic visitors
were the members of the Venezuelan
claims commission.
The judiciary was next received includ
ing Chief Justice Fuller and his associates
of the supreme court; Chief Justice Rich
anlon and his associates or the court
of cliims, and Chief Justice Bingham and
his associates of the supreme court of the
district. Nearly all were accompanied by
tue ladies of their families.
The coairressional contingent followed
and consisted of nearly all the xanators
3nd representatives now" in the city, be
ing, however, only a small portion of the
total number in congress. Among those
prasentwere Senators Cnlloro. Cockrell
and Allen, Speaker Reed Rnd Representa
tives Cutcheon and Onlwalte. W ith them
were the commissioner, and othe officials
of the Distnctrof Columbia, and ex-Mm-ister
Foster.
Tho reception of the officers of the annv
and navy and marine corps which followed
was probably the showiest feature of the
day, they bein.: in full dress uniform and
resplendent with brass buttons, gacdy
sashes, gold lace, etc Major General Scho
fieid headai the army and Rear Admiral
Jonett the navy. Admiral Porter did not
attend on account of xha bad weather.
It was now 12 o'clock and the reception
baast a little more general in its charac
ter. Indeed the callers became so numer
ous and followed each other o clos-ly that
the president Was compelled to restrict fait
welcome to a s.ngle shake of the hand and
a simple "GLid K e you." Tbo
received in this manner inrjnd-d
otSeers of the- SmSthjioniau institnte, the 1
civil service comniisaionsrs, te interstate
commissioners, the assiatsat -secretaries
and chief officers of the rnriotn depart
ments and ti faculty el tie Columbian
lu-siitute for the deaf icd inrat.
The next .section o cabers was headed
by a few ur Fvot of the war of ISiS, close-
T
ly followed j large repreealUo-a ofjiiaciBenU
army men and a smaller body of gray
haired, venerable looking men known as
the oldest inhabitants of the District of
Columbia. The reception of the public
generally was in order and the gates to the
grounds, which had been closed up to this
time except to the privileged few, were
thrown open and the crowd thronged
rapidly into the mansion.
The reception lasted until 2 o'clock and
it is estimated that during that time the
president shook hands with nearly 6.000
people. When it was over the president
invited the ladles who assisted him and a
number of others to join him in a lunch
which bad been prepared expressly for
them in the hallway up stairs.

sence was due to the recent death of her
sister, and it was at her request that her

SERVICES AT BERLIN
Berlix, Jan. 1. All the members oE the
imperial family, tho court officials and tho
members of the diplomatic corps, attended
a thanksgiving service in the castle chapel
today. After the service a great court re
ception was held in the white halL Later
tho imperial family drove to the resideuce
of the dowager empress. Augusta, aud ex
tended New Yeirs congratulations to her.
The emperor subsequently inspected the
arsenal and made an address to the com
manding 'Officers. He attended a family
dinner in the evening.
The royal reception was thinly nttended
owing to influenza. Von Moltke was pres
ent looking hale. The kaiser descended
from the throne and grasped the old sol
dier's hand, a compliment paid to none
other save Herr Boetticher. The kaiser
looked well but made no formal speech.
CARNOT'S RECEPTION.
PARIS, Jan. 1. President Carnot, at the
reception at the Elis, thanked the diplo

tions as bearing testimony to France's
peaceful and honest endeavors.
A BiG STRIKE THREATENED.
EvANSVlLLK. Ind., Jan. 1. The situation
on the Evansville & Terre Haute and
Evansville & Indianapolis roads, of tho
Mackey system, remains practicaUy un
changed at this point. Nothing but pas
senger trains are moving. The yard here
is filled with freight, but no attempt is
being made to move it. Tho strikers are
quiet but determined. The federation of
the brotherhoods of engineers, firemen and
conductors, switchmen and brakemen went
into effect tod.vr, and unless bpeody settle
ment is reached there is a probability of all
the organizations taking part in the
strike, as it is alleged by railroad men that
the strike is on a question of principle,
several conductors havinicbeen discharged
because of a refusal to sever their connec
tion with the brotherhood of railway con
ductors, and because of their activity in a
recent strike on this system. This the com
pany denies, alleging that the discharge of
the " men in question was for just cause.
There seems no probability of an adjust
ment of the difficulty at this time.
