WASHINGTON, April 12.-There is some
friction in the cabinet. The gossip is that
the attorney general is not pleased with the
manner in which his request for the resigna-
ton of Solicitor Chesley Of the internal rev.
enue bureau was overruled. The attorney
general lad asked for Chesley's removal
The place was wanted for Germans man,
Talbot. The commissioner Of internal rev.
enue did not want to lose Chesley, and told
the president ne could not run his bureau
without him, and the president sent an auto
graph letter to Chesley requesting him to re-
main. This letter of the president did not
90 through the department Of justice, but was
sent directly to Chcsley. at this the attorney
general is said to have taken offense.
The Southern men in the administration
do not like Nanning's theory of the debt
statement 1t has caused the surplus to dis
appear too quickly. Instead of $3.50, 100000
surplus that was boarded by the Republicans,
as it was proclaimed from
EVERY SOUTHERN STUMP,
Secretary Manning at the end Of his first
month in Office declares that there is only
So. 900, O00 Yet he says the Republican
count of money is correct. The Southerners
do not see how they can build their levees,
dig out their creeks and pay the cotton tax
with so narrow a margin, and they are pro-
testing against Manning's debt figures as in
furious to the party.
One of the presidents most intimate
friends was asked for an explanation of the
slow manner in which the appointments are
made. "The president and his cabinet" he
replied ''are determined that they will not
begin to make appointments while the city is
overrun with
OFFICE SEEKERS.
The presidents advice to Office hunters is
to 20 home, and he means it. He believes
that the appointments cannot be wisely
made while rival candidates are urging their
claims and he does not think that under the
present state Of affairs he is allowed time to
consider the cases. Ny opinion is that no
appointments, except most urgently neces
sary ones, will be made until this is under
stood and the crowds have retired"
The attorney general will decide next week
the questions raised as to the proprety of
rcappOinting those whose nominations failed
of confirmation. There are several questions
involved The circumstances differ in the
cases OF those nominated where the terms
had expired and those nominated to succeed
persons
PEitEMITORlL4 REMOVED.
Some Of these cases NAV be found to be still
subjected to action by the senate. The
president viii be governed entirely by Attor-
ney General Garland's decision, If the de-
cisiou authorizes reappointments they will
be made promptly. The president das map
ped out a great deal of work for himself and
will proceed in very methodical manner.
in regard to 4 summer vacation and to sum
mer work, he will do very much the same as
he did during his gubernatorial term. The
greater part of the summer will be spent in
the White house and most of the day az his
desk Mr. Cleveland has never taken longer
vacations than his health required and will
not depart from his usual custom. He will
20 on 4 short
FISHING TRIP
in Northern New York if he finds it possible.
As have said, there will not be much relax
alton of work. Mr.. Cleveland remarked the
,other day when / asked him where
.hc was going to rest that he had
more 10 do before congress convened than
he could find time to accomplish. lie wants
to oundurstand his business before his first
message is written and to give a good ac
count of his stewardship. The president
keeps up his health mainly 10y his daily drives.
He enjoys them intensely and leaves all Off
cial care behind. He never drives fast and
he takes Il keen interest in everything he
sees. As vet he has never left the White
house grounds on foot, although he was al
ways fond of long walks. The president
never rides horseback. ! do not believe he
knows how.
