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

trate the future, with a hopeful and
prosperous outlook for the nologenerian
year of the century.

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

intendent of Census with a letter inform-
ing Senators that he will see them only
from 12 to 2 o'clock." And the irate

arrivals on the open register, 'I don't
mean that the members should bo made

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

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

the tariff question. The hearings before
the Ways and Meane Committee has had
