WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, d. c.,
Sept. Z, 1885.


bers of the Cabinet that he will re-
turn to Washington on Monday and
that the usual meetings will be re-
sumed Tuesday. A number of re-
ports, especially from the Navy and
Treasury departments, have been pre-
pared for use at the Cabinet meeting.
Secretary Bayard, it is understood,
will make a new recommendation for
Minister to Austria in place of Mr..
Kelley, and it is generally believed
that the Department of Justice will
provide for the ex-Mayor of Rich
mond in the future. Mr.. Bayard has
not yet taken a vacation, but goes to
Wilmington Saturday night and re-
turns Monday morning. Secretary
Whitney is expected at the Navy de-
partment tomorrow, and Postmaster
General Villas telegraphs that he too
is eastward bound. Attorney Gener-
al Garland is still on his farm in Ar
kansas, but it is probable that accom-
panied by Secretary Lamar, he will
return to Washington in time for the
first fall session of the Cabinet. Some
interesting developments are expect
ed from this sudden determination on
the part of the President and his
counsellors.
Secretary Manning returned to this
city from Watch Hill this afternoon
and tonight was closeted with Assis-
tant Secretary Fairchild and his pri-
vate secretary at the Arlington. The
Secretary says he has enjoyed his va
cation very much and will resume his
customary labors at the department.
There were great many subjects de-
handing attention at once, and they
had in a measure curtailed his trip.
but he is now ready for hard work
again. The coast survey and Other
questions of similar Importance, that
had been partially settled during his
absence, would be carefully exam
ined and a strict compliance with the
law enforced, regardless of conse,
quences.
Miss Cleveland is expected to re-
turn to the White House about the
first of next month and will be &C
companied by one or two lady friends
who will remain with her until the
gay season begins. Since Miss Cleve'
land has been at Holland Patent, the
country home of her family, she has
passed her time quietly and has re-
Trained from any more literary work
The success Of her recent book has
been gratifying to her, bnt it is doubt
full if she will make another similar
effort while mistress of the White
House. 1t is definitely and authofi-
lively stated that Miss Cleveland will
remain with her brother during his adj
ministration. A number of bel
friends will become winter residents
at the Capital this season, and the
hospitality of the mistress at The
White House will be fully taxed to
meet the demands upon her time.
The return of the Pres ident to
Washington will be the signal for an
exodus from the watering places by
the leaders of society, and number
of residents from the West End and
Connecticut Avenue have already tel
egraphed to have their houses in or
der for immediate occupancy. Sec
rotary Manning while awaiting for
Mrs. Manning and his daughter to
finish their vacation, will retain apart
ments at the Arlington, and will sn-
perintend the fitting up of the Ray
house on F street, where the Secreta,
ry and his family will spend the win
ter. The few weeks spent at Watct
Hill by the Secretary have been very
beneficial, and he returns to Washing
ton, he says, in better health and spir
its than he would have believed posi-
BILE for so short jaunt.
There will be no lack of entertain
ment or society this winter, if appear
ances are worth anything, and agent:
of houses to let are overrun with ap
plicants who desire immediate posses
sion. The cold season has set in a
the sea shore and the hotels are bein,
rapidly vacated by guests who desir
home comforts.
New York and Chicago society vii
be well represented at the Capital thi
winter, as orders have been received
from scores of people from these TIVE
places for winter accommodations
Mr. and Mrs. Letter will continue {.
entertain their large circle of friend
in the Blaine house on Massachusetts
avenue, and will be regarded as tn
leaders of the Chicago set. On tn
other hand, Secretary and Mrs. Whit
ney, and Assistant Secretary ant
Mrs. Fairchild will occupy stmila
position from a New York point o
view.
