NEW YORK, Aug. 2O.-The
Worlds Washington special has
the following account of Kearney's
visit to the President: After secur-
ing apartments for himself and
Secretary at cheap lodging
house, he wended his way to the
White House. The President re-
ceived him cordially, shook hands
with him, and with tender solici-
tude inquired after his health. A
gentleman who was present at the
interview describes it as follows:
For once Kearney seemed to
have met his equal. Hayes
seated him in chair and tegan to
talk. He asked about the condi-
tion of the workingmen, and be-
fore the sand-lot orator had
chance to reply, gave his own
views OH the subject. The Presi-
dent spoke about the Frustrated in
dustries of the country, and antici-
pated a revival of trade, and then
gave the half dazed Kearney an
idea of his views on the Chinese
labor question. At the end of ten
minutes conversation Hayes arose,
shook hands with Kearney and
bowed him out, not giving the
horny-handed Communist a chance
to even endorse Ben Butler.
