The bill to prevent frauds on the Treas

bers of Congress TO prosecute claims, provi-
ded they receive no peeuniaay compensation
for so doing. Tley will therefore be enabled
to exert the full weight Of the influence
arising from their position with the heads
of departments and even if their designs be
adverse to applications thus enforced, gen.

"Wn have little to say about that psrt Of

the position which has been consistently

criticism of the Inaugural

WASHINGTON, MARCH 4, 1898.
GrNrLrMEH Your kind note which was
handed ME last evening, was as unexpected
as il was gratifying. While cannot hattcr
myself with the idea that amjustly entitled
to all the praise which your friendship has
so generously bestowed, am frank to con-
fess that do feel consciousness that have
spared no pains to merit it, OF this, how
ever, you are the best judges. You have
been my daily companions, and can best APP
preciate the motives with which | have dis
charged my official duties. Bat it is due to
you, and those who preceded some Of you, as
my official advisers, to say that the success
of my Administration is chiefly owing to the
wisdom, harmony, fidelity, and ability Of my
counsellors and that the country, as we'll as
myself, owes them debt Of gratitude which
| doubt not it viii recognize in due time, and
cheerfUlly discharge.
No President was ever more fortunate
than have been in the selection ofhis Cab
met. No manifestation of unkind feeling, or
even hard word, has ever disturbed the
harmonious action Of the council board. iniS
cordial unanimity has not only advanced 'ie
public service, but has been at ali times 70 h :
