At the White House To-day.

ABOUT THE USUAL RUSH vIsIToRs-NEw
RULES FOR THEIR RECEPTION.
There was about the usual rush of visitors to
the White House to-day. The President arose
early, and at once batook himself to the con-
sideration of his mail, which was unusually
large. As one of the clerks at the White House
put il, "PresiCen INT Cleveland receives as many
letters day ex-President Arthur received in
q week" 1t is n fair inference that many of
the letters relate To appointments TO office. The.
President ran hufriediy through his MAIL in
which duty he had the assistance OF Private
Secretary Lamont, and then began the recep-
ton OF visitors, many of whom had been in
waiting some time.
Among callers were congressional delegations
ron Kentucky, Illinois, Iowa, North Carolina,
and Florida. Mr.. Justice Harlan, Mr.. Foster
minister 70 Spa; prl pr6 B,rd sehat@rs Frye
sentatives Waite, Beach, Lore. Stone, Ailliken,
Davis. sc1ney, jones @ and Cole and l., ex-Repre,
sentative Paige. The Secretary OF War called
about noon and had long conference with
| the President.
At one O'Clock, the doors of the White House
were thrown open TO the public, and the Presi-
dent was kept busy receiving his callers for
over an hoUI. No general rule has yet been
adopted for the reception OF visitors, but under
the present system, Senators, Representatives
| and officials who call on public business will be
received from 10 until o'clock except on cab
| time viii be limited from 10 to ~ O'Clock, The
President Will receive persons who call to pay
respects at i O'Clock. except on cabinet DAYS:
| when he will not be able to see them before 2
o'clock. No arrangements have yet been made
Tor evening receptions.
| Private Secretary Lamont said to-day that
the reduction in the clerical force in the White
House was made merely In the interests of
economy, and, therefore, TO appointments
would be made to fill the vacancies created.
| He said there might possibly be one or two
| that would be all. Since President Cleveland's s
Inauguration the entire clerical force, including
the private secretary, has been busiiy engaged
| from 0 clock in the morning until midnight,
/ and IL Is expected that the rush of business
will compel a continuance of these working
/ hours for some time to come. Another OF the
| new rules of the house prohibits employees from
| smoking in the offices.

THE MARMADUKE-RAINwATER CONTROVERSY.
The controversy between Gov. Marmaduke,
of Missouri, and Major Rainwater, of St Louis,
has assumed o new phase. Some days ago Gov.
Marmaduke gave out an affidavit bearing the
signature of Roberto. Pate, q well-known horse
man and keeper of keno rooms, alleging that in
1875 he paid money for the privilege of running
keno rooms In ST. Louis, and that his under
standing was that the money was for the benefit
OF =. Harrigan, chief of police, and Major Rain
water, who was the executive officer OF the
boardof police commissioners. Yesterday Major
Rainwater published an open letter to Gov.
Marmaduke In which he treats the matter In
the most scathing terms, denounces the afii-
davit as most infamous lie, and declares that
the man who becomes party to the circulation
of such outrageous statements Is q trif1e worse
than the scoundfel who originated the story, bo
that man gambler or governor.

The Pending Treaties.

THEY ARE TO BE WITHDRAWN FROM THE
SENATE-SECRETAR DAYAED,S POSITION-
TIE EICARAUGUAN TREATY.
The administration has decided to withdraw
the treaties pending in the Senate. Secretary
Bayard has taken steps for the formal with
drawal. Friends of the Nicarauguan treaty in
the Senate, and particularly members of the
foreign relations committee have had some in
formal discussion in regard to the power or
right of the executive to withdraw treaties, but
they have ascertained that this can be done at
any time before final action upon them.
Hence, there will not probably be any objec-.
ton to the return of the pending treaties to
the State department. When the Nicarauenan
treaty was before the Senate at the recent ses-
sion Mr.. Bayard opposed action, mainly upon
the ground that the administration so soon
to come in ought to have full opportunity to
examine 1t. In this position Mr.. Bayard was

But the administration prefers to proceed very
cautiously in this matter. The treaty, to

OF returning any of them to the Senate before

will leave the Senate with nothing to do but to
pass upon nominations, and the prevailing
impression now is that the session will not
last more than two weeks longer.
