The Presidents return is being

cited by New York Graphic CORE
spondcnt as remarkable fact that
there are daily callers at the White
House since President Clcveland's
departure, though il would seem that
every person of intelligence in the
United States should know that he is
on his vacation. A politician from
Central Illinois came here the other
day to see the President about post
office. He met an acquaintance ut his
hotel and casually mentioned that he
was going up to see the President on
matter of importance. When told that
Mr.. Cleveland was out of town and
would not be back for two weeks he
was perfectly astonishcd. Good

The Washington critic. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1885-1888, 1885-09-04

During one Of General Grants visits
to Philadelphia, says correspondent
of the Press, "a lady, who devotcs
much time and labor among the poor,
became conversant with the fact that
two female cousins of General Grant,
residing here, had, by a series of misfor-
tunes, been reduced to extreme need,
but were themselves too proud and in
dependent to make their necessities
known to their illustrious relative.
Having no doubt that he would help
his connections if acquainted with
their situation, the case was brought to
the notice of Mr.. Childs for presenta-
ton TO General Grant. On hearing the
story, he Mr. Childs) at once said,
DO not trouble the General with this
matter; he is already overburdened. |
myself will give you check for this
purpose which he Immediately did
and for large sum making only the
proviso that the fact of his doing so
should by no means reach the ears of
General Grant or his family. Long
live the man who lays down, not his
life, but (what some men value moro
his purse, to save his friends from an
noyancc."

ANECDOTES OF GRANT.

Secretary Whitney has made very
few appointments since he took charge
of the navy, but the few have been
made upon strict business principles.
The st. Louis Republican correspond
cnt says that Mr.. Whitney has very
simple method of communicating his
impression of an applicant for office to
the appointing officer of his depart
ment. When an applicant presents his
letter of introduction, the Secretary
reads 1t very carefully and acknowl-
edges the introduction. He then takes
the application and looks over the
names of the indorscrs. After this,
while in conversation with the appli-
cant, he eyes him very closely, Sizing
him up" The inspection over, he dis
misses the applicant by saying: well,
] will attend TO this matter MS soon rs

plication, which is subsequently turned
over TO one of the appointing officers,

All Questions Settled, and
Peace Iseigns On the Isthmus.

WAsAINGroN, April go.
Secretary Whitney sent the following
telegram to Admiral Jouett yesterday: 81
approve your steadfast maintenance Of
this Governments position on the 18TH
mus. The treaty guarantees the protection
of the transit equally by this Government
add by Colombia. Measures necessary to
effect this will be supported. Have suffi-
cient force at Panama ready, in case of
need, to meet any act of Colombian forces
involving the destruction or embarrass-
ment of the transit in violation of their
treaty with this Government. An armed
contest of the place involving the
same result is also a breach of the
Treat,. ] recognize that you are in a
delicate and critical position. shall be
inclined to stand By yoa in the exercise
of your best judgment under your gen
eral instructions, if your acts result in
the safety of the transit property, at Pam
anna, and the establishment Of sta
bic government
)
Jouett telegiaplied to Secretary Whit
ney as follows: Peaceful settlement
between government troops and revolu-
tIonists at Panama has been made to-day.
I witnessed the treaty and all points of
difference were referred to me-
Aizpure snrrenders Internationally.
The government forces will take posses
sion of Panama tomorrow, and the
trouble on the Istbmus will be practically
ended
In an interview this morning Secreta-
ry Whitney explains the delicate posi-
ton in which Admiral Jouett was
placed. He SAYS, Trouble at Panama
is practically eneed. think Admiral
Jouett and his associates in the expedi-
ton have acted with great good Judgment
and discretion Yesterday morning they
were in trouble. Two forces prepared
to fight it out in the city of Panama. !
think Admiral Jouett's position has
been under his instructions that to oset-
tie their disputes in that city woliid re-
suit in the embarrassment of the 18TH
mus Transit, and be in violation ofitfea-
ty obligations, and should not besdone.
It has resulted in forcing a settlement
oftheir matters and preservation of prop-
erty Insurgents, if obliged to fight out
side of the city unprotected by buildings
and barricades could not under any cir
ensnstances succeed. They have there
fore surrendered without lighting. ]
think the manner of our people and
heir determined opposition when any
thing was done which looked like peril
to their interests they were there to pro-
tc,t, must have inspired very desirable
feeling Of respect. at same time has avoid
ed that feeling o hostility likely to arise
from presence of superior force from
withoutand which would leadto occasion
permanent irritation and unfriendlinesss
| Think the expedition viii result ulti-
n,ately in bene6tting our commercial
relations down there II has shown that
we we're ready to act eifectuaily and de-
eisiyely ani at the sanle time in a mod
