| WASHINGTON, D. g., July %, 1882
Secretary Erellnghuysen Yesterday
morning directed the Chief Clerk of the
Department OF State, to take charge of
the arrangements for the entertain.
ment of the Guatemalan visitors, and
directed him to detail such attaches of
the department as he thought necessary
to call upon them. In accordance
|Wl'h previous arrangements, Mr.
Brown appeared at the Arlington
Hotel at about II o'clock with Carriages
and escorted President Barrios and
other officials OF the State Department
building, where they made an official
call upon Secretary Frelinghuysen in
return for the call made by him on
wednesday afternoon. The call lasted
about ha + au hour, after which the
guests took carriages and were escorted
to the Washington Monument, after
which they made a brief visit to the
Bureau Of Engraving and Printing;
and thence after driving through the |
SuItr 'nian and National Museum
IL un returned to the hotel at two
o'clOcA for lunch.
AT NE White House a considerable |
huul' or OF persons had congregated to /
oJtain glimpse Of the visiting Presi. |
dent. They, with few Knights Of the
lead pencil. were disappointed twas
soon learned that tho reception was
postponed until Up. NJ, to enable Seno-
ra Barrios, the wife of the President, to
be present. Wednesday evening it was
decided to have Sonora Barrios come
on and she was telegraphed to that ct
tect. While there is considerable. in
terest shown by the people of Wash
1ngton In the presence here for the first
time in history Of the chief executive L
OF an other American republic, it isl
not creditable to think that If he had
been an hereditary ruler, even of only
few thousands of dark skinned, half
clothed subjects, and three or four lit. Is
tie lava covered islands, he would be {
after and toadied by crowds. q
President Barrios, a companied by &
Senior Cruz, his Secretary of State, h
Montufar and DIR. Arroyo, ar /
lived at the Executive Mansion about q
Lao o'clock last evening, and was met /
by Secretary Frelinghuysen and Mr.. '
Thomas of the State Department, as 8
interpreter. The guests were escorted a
o the Blue Parlor, where Secretaries u
eolGer and Teller, and Pos master Gem a
raj Howe were INTRODUCED to the party. p

Promptly at nine O'Clock President Ar.

orridor with the Secretary of state Ii
y whom he was introduced to Presi. o.
ent Barrios, who made few remarks Il
D Spanish and was briefly replied to

he remarks Of each were interpreted
y Mr.. Thomas. Afrerward the other Il
isitors were presented to President P

The rooms, as we'll rs the East Room &C

ny Fredinghuysen, and drove to the re

and they intend while oil
re to make an extended visit to the bu
Institute and the National wi
useum, and to make more thorough
of the working of the of
