lGENEkAL PRESS DISPATCH.

lGENEKAL PRESS DIsPATCH.i
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE President does not
seem to be in the least disturbed by the actions of
the recent Republican caucuses. Those nearest to
him, socially and politically, say that there is no
probability whateverthat he villas requested by the
resolution introduced by Senator Sargent in the
caucus last night rescnd his order forbidding par
tcipation by officials in meetings, caucuses, and
conventions of political character. and these
friends do not think it probable that
on consideration, any such request will be
made by the Congressional Committee to, which
the resolution was referred, though they may
confer with the President political affairs gen
orally, in view Of the approaching elections. They
say that the President never declines to listen at
tentvely to any suggestion, but that when he
makes up his mind as to the rightfulness of any
measure he adheres to il. The Republicans in
Congress- for the great part, Will endeavor to avoid
direct issue with the President however much
they disagree with him in some of his political
measures.
