PREPARATIONS FOR THE GREAT CELEBRATION.
Col j. f. Peyton, general superintendent OF
the citizens association, has arrived here from
Richmond. He informs reporter Of THE STAR
that the people of Richmond are fully alive to
the importance of making extensive prepara-
tl0ns for the vast crowds that will Visit York
town during the celebration. The business
men OF Richmond have taken the matter In
hand, and are subscribing to the stock Of the
association to raise fund to secure substantial
landings for steamers, seating accommodations
for 600 persons departments of public com.

Queer White House Visitors.

THB MAN WHO WANTS TO SAVE THE NATION.
There we're two queer characters at the
White House yesterday. One was man and
the other was a>%oman, and both were crazy.
The man had some scheme and many papers
he demanded that he be allowed to see the
President fright away" The safety OF the
nation depended upon It. He had Senator
Conklfng's name mixed up with his wild talk
about papers, Importance OF seeing the Presi-
dent and his good character. He was kept
from making bold rush for the Presidents
door only by the application OF force. He
finally cooled down sufficiently to be content
with writing a long letter to the President.
After delivering his Screed to the Presidents
doorkeeper, he went away.
THE WOMAN WHO WANTS AN EXTRA SESSION.
The woman was more pertlnacious. She
kept talking and waiting. She is probably
talking and waiting yet. She was about forty
Years old and had several front teeth gone
This made her talk somewhat unintelligible,
Her mission was to demand an extra session.
She also had documents, In fact paper bag
full OF them. She got loud now and then as
she saw other people get TO the Presidential
presence and herself making no headWay,
Her particular reason for demanding an extra
session was to have the House employees turned
out. They have been there too long she said.
They have groWn insolent and should be
removed. She was particularly bitter against
Sergeant alarms Thompson and wanted him
bounced Immediately. She said that Mr.
Thompson had done her an irreparable injury
and she would never rest until she succeeded In
having his successor installed In Office.

The Reported ResignatiOn OF Attor-
ney General NacVeagh.

Attorney General MacV Veagh was at his Office
this morning, attending to business as usual.
When the current report that he was inclined
to resign his Office was mentioned, he said he
did not anticipate leaving the cabinet. He de-
clined TO talk when interrogated as past differ

whatever objection he might have had to any
Of the Presidents appointments such objec-
tions had not been sufficiently strong at any
time to warrent his retirement from the De-
partment Of Justice.
ANOTHER VERSION OF THE NATTER
The announcement Of the resignation Of
Attorney General MacVeagh Is premature. In
ore sense he had resigned, and yet there can
be q construction put upon 1t that he has not.
From scource OF Information that ought to
be good. TIE STAR has the following touching
the matter:

understood the situation, and further declared
that he did not understand that Mr.. Macyeagh
had declared to him that he would resign If the
Chandler nomination went in. The Attorney
General said that such was his position, and
he was sorry II the President misunderst ood 1t,
