(From our Regular Correspondent) WA9n1130590,, Jan. 9,'00. The New Year stn did not shine upon the National Capital Wednesday. It was anything but a lovely day external- ly, and outdoor festivity was at a heavy discount. In spite of all drawbacks, however, the occasion seems to have been '•oneraily enjoyed, and the lack of jollity .lid boisterousness on the streets would seem to Indi0ate that cheerfulness with- out inebriation was the prevailing rule. The reception at the White 'louse went off very pleasantly, the we -thee contributing, no doubt, to 3330901 an uncomfortable jam. Another agreeable and of late years unusual feature of the 0000 910t1 tYll the ,e elconut reception at the residence of the Vice -President, There :were also seven cabinet receptions, Mr, Blaine's, under the circnmataneee, being rather of a diplomatic and official, thanl social ohmmeter. Among citizens in priv- ate life there were the customary visit. 1tions and a'o ' u (dull interchange of 1 los• pitnlities all around. And so the morn" ing and evening of the first day of the now year passed away, leaving many pleasant memories. Yo+terday the re- gular round of life began again, and so far as human preal0nce is able to pene- trate the future, with a hopeful and prosperous outlook for the nologenerian year of the century.

It is it common sight to 0331' hint in t11e hotel Lobby engaged in earnest converse, tion with the 111t11faMtme35 wan aro called hero by the he.0rirng1 of tho Ways and Wane Committee, fuel he is eon. stantly seeking information which may aid hire in unravelling the intricacies of the tariff question. During his late visit to Boston he was 8110W11 through sums of the largest woolen manufacturing estab- lishments in that vioiuity, and ha canto back to Washington with a fund of in- formation which he found quite vltlnab'e to him fn questioning rho gentleman who appeared before the Ways and Arcane Committee yesterday', 'here is a growing feeling on the part of Senators and members 1.h it they are emhaarassed in their wort( in iho depart. mento by too many new tangled rules. A Senator was heard to express 1(10185lf very freely yesterday about this matter. He complained that the Meade of Depart - manta, and even chiefs of divisions, acted as though they thought it was a conde- scension on their part to permit Senators and members to enter the Department buildings. "Cabinet officers," he said, "and assistants give notioe that Senators and members will be received between detain hours, and now camas the Super- intendent of Census with a letter inform- ing Senators that he will see them only from 12 to 2 o'clock." And the irate statesman oonoluded-with a rather torch. ble condemnatiog and tho remark that "somebody is going to boar something drop, and Hist pretty soon," "This betide), recess of Congress is a decided bore," said an np•town hotel. keeper, as he scanned the scanty list of arrivals on the open register, 'I don't mean that the members should bo made ±0 5330110 during the holidays, but it seems to me that it would be muolt better to defer the meeting of Congress until after New Year's day. They will hardly get into working order inside of a week after they convene next Monday, and it would be far better to put the whole thing off until that time and make ono big job of it. Of course I am not wholly disinter- ested in this matter. I am compelled to make extra arrangements during the session of Congreso, and hero I am during the recess'witli but few people in the house end all my expensive cooks and extra help to pay. I am well aware that the people of the States are not at all in- terested in this feature of the matter, but you can see what an inconvenience and loss the holiday recess is to the hoed - keeper." About all that is talked about the hotel lobbies duringtheholiday recess is the tariff question. The hearings before the Ways and Meane Committee has had the effect of bringing t g o the cit all class- es Y os of mantlfaoEurere, and, although the. Committee has extended an invitation to all the different interests, those whose busipeeo is benefitted most by a high tariff are in the large majority.
