Callers on the President.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 5.-The
White House presented busy scene to-day.
stream OF callers poured into the mansion
from the hours when the doors opened until
late in the day. The President had an early
breakfast, and then he completed the organi-
zation Of his Cabinet, and directed that their
names should be sent to the Senate. A num-
Der of org anizations visited the White House,
and were received by the President In the
East room. Prominent among these were the
Samuel J. Ra ndall Club, the Americus Club,
and the Young Mems Democratic Club, all of
Philadelphia; the Kings County Club OF
Brooklyn, aud a delegation from the County
Democracy Of New York. The Justices OF the
United States Supreme Court, headed by
Chief Justice Waite, called about noon and
were received in the Blue Parlor. The members
OF the National Democratic Committee were
next received. Many other prominent person
called to pay their respects, and they kept
the President engaged during the entire day.
No changes have yet been made In the force
tha is employed at the White House, except
that Colonel Daniel s. Lamont occupies the
Office Of Private Secretary to the President,
instead OF Fred J. Phillips, who, Of course,
retired with Mr.. Arthnr. The Presidents
mail to-day was very large. II consisted prin-
cipally of letters Of congratula,ior; many,
however, related to appointments.
Subsequently the Democratic phalan1 OF
Albany called on the President in body.
They were followed by de,achmcnts OF clubs
from Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Maryland,
Kansas, Missouri, and elsewhere.
The President then gave notice that he
-. .t..l.,
between g and 4 O'Clock, and during that
time thousands Of strangers paid their re-
spects to the Chief Magistrate. The Presi-
dent received them in the EAs, room and
shook hands with all. The crowd passed
through in single file, and owing TO the i'm
mense number presenting themselves, It was
found necessary TO dispense with
the formality Of Al Introduction. The
President, howerer, recognized many
acquaintance in the line, and greeted them by
name. There was large number OF colored
people among the visitors The President
bore the trying ordeal well. and treated each
person with pleasant smile and n hearty
grasp OF the hand. The visiting military and
civic organizations which had not previously
called in body, were well represented. Gov
erpor Pattison, Of Pennsylvania, and stan,
were prominent among the visitors.
All the members Of cr-President Arthur's
cabinet, with the exception of Secretaries Ere
linghuysen and Teller, occupied their usual
desks and attended to all business requiring
action at their hands. Secretary frclinghuy-
sen was detained at home by III health, and
Secretary Teller twhcse resignation as secrc-
tary OF the Interior was accepted yesterday,
was at the Capitol. Those who were on duty
received many callers, and took occasion dur
ing the day TO take official leave OF their bur
eau officers and other employees

The Relations Of England and Germany.

LONDON. March 6.-Earl Granville
delivered long speech in the House of Lords
this evening about the Bismarck controversy.
He said that now more than ever before, It is
to the interest OF Germany and England that
the relations between the two governments
should be good because 1t was n time when
both Of these powers were about to meet each
other In all parts of the world. "Whilst each
power will maintain its rights, both ought TO
advance In their common work OF extending
commerce and civilization in a spirit Of can
did co opcratioh-sll my efforts will be c1erted
in favor OF policy Of conciliation which Bis
marck has sketched out"
Earl Granville denied the statement that he
had published the confidential communisa.
tions from Bismarck.
Earl Granville said he felt It TO be unbecom-
ing for him to make long reply here to Bis
marcks speech In the Reichs.ag on Monday,
because Bismarck has raised several points
concerning number Of written communica-
tions which have been exchanged, and n num-
Der OF dispatches which have been published
in the Blue Book before being delivered, and
he declared that dispatches had been published
which ought never to have been published.
II hope" said Earl Granville, ITO make
such statement in the regular way to Bis
marck as shall show to him that the above
points may bear q very different color. SIN
cerely regret that sp,ech which was made
In the House of Lords, under the pressure OF
party attack, should have annoyed Bismarck
who evidently labored under misconception.
Nobody would regret more, and nobody would
be injured by breach Of confidence more than
myself / did not mean to refer TO those kind
and friendly communications which are de-
scribcd by Bismarck in the Reichstag, but TO sub
sequcnt declarations which were not conhden-
tial. 1t was not the present hope Of England
to represent Europe's interest In Egypt In the
future. My object is not to defend myself, but
to correct those misapprchensions which arc
Inevitable when important utterances are tcle-
graphed incorrectly, which frequently hau.
pens between the capitals Of Europe. No
country more fully and chccrfully appreciates
Germany's immensely important position in
Europe than does England"
Lord Northbrook, OF the Admiralty, main

PRAIRIE FIREs.-Some idea OF the ex-
tent Of the prairie fires can be gathered
from the following, taken from the
Transporter, published at Cheyenne
and Arapahoe agency: "The past two
weeks have witnessed the destruction
of almost the entire territory range by
prevailing prairie fires. The outlook
up to this time has been very tiattering
for a successful winter for stock, as
the growth Of grass has been ahead Of
that known for several years, and the
dry weather this fall has allowed the
grass to cure upon the ground into the
sweetest, brightest prairie hay, upon
which stock of all kinds could success
fully weather hard winter. But this
is not to be-the ranges were 80 dry
that fire, when once started, could
sweep for hundreds of miles without
any resistance, and added to this has
been the systematic action Of unprin-
cipled parties who have been firing the
grass in every direction. The Oklaho-
ma boomers started the fires first when
it became evident that they were not
to be allowed to stop in that country.
The Indians, as is thek custom, kept
the fires going, and as q result, the
burning has been so general that there
is not enough grass left in the entire
territory to carry through winter the
remnants OF herds left IN the country.
The entire Oklahoma country has been
burned as bare as board, 80 that the
troops are obliged to feed their horses
on baled hay hauled from Fort Reno.
The Greek country, Iowa, Sac and Fox,
Seminole and Pottawatomie nations
are burned Both sides Of the Arkan-
sas City and Caldwell trails, besides
other extensive fires on the Cherokee
strip, are reported, The feeling is SO
strong on the Cherokee strip against
the firing Of the praifies that a lynch
ing bee is promised the first person
caught in the act. Reports are in that

although the soldiers ano mission

consequence tho cattle to be fed tn,
Indians at that agency the cominI
winter will want for range. At thil
agency the pastare was partly swept
and only contracted range left for th,
agency herd and the issue steers. Al
far as can be learned, the Chickasav
nation has escaped general burning
but below fires swept the country clea

wood were destroyed, 800 cords belong
