WHITE HOUSE WORK.
HO> the President Passes His Time-Work
Agrees with Him.


The President has now taken three days in the
week besides Sunday, in which he sees no pro
miscuous callers That means that he allows
the ofice-seekers and their friends to bore him
only nalf the time. The great pressure for
place is now over, and henceforth it will be sim
ply that constant pushing which is and has al
ways been met with by every occupant
of the White House, whatever his party
was. By thus taking more time to
himself. the President is not lessenine his hours
of work in these hottest days. He still gets to
his desk before 9 clock and never leaves his
Office, save for IA short lunch, until late in the
afternoon, when Re goes for his daily ride with
Lamont. But the things he deyotes himself to
are of a different stamp from what they were,
with his room full of politicians. He likes to
know what he is about In the variety
of business that comes to his desk. The
past few weeks have been given up by him to
getting at the bottom of certain questions con-
nected with our financial and foreign policies
with which he has had simply general know-
edge. Each day he sends for some member or
members of the Cabinet sometimes for outsid-
ers, and takes up something of this sort. These
conferences are in no sense formal. During
these hot days Mr.. Cleveland is generally in
the iightest summer clothing: the caller
is invited TO take cigar and the
conversation Immediately drifts into the channel
which the President desires Almost every even
ing he goes back to his Office after dinner, and
works until 10 or thereabouts, but of late he has
begun to relax his zeal little in this respect,
and occasionally is seen walking in the grounds,
or sitting on the porch with his family and
whomever Miss Cleveland may chance to have
guests. But he remains about the hardest
working in the government employ
in this city. But those who come in
contact with him see at first sight
that he is of the kind who do not wear out under
constant effort. He has had as hard four
months as Garfield or Arthur when they first
took office. but he looks as vigorous as the first
day he came here. He says he is tired. and
wants to get away fishing at the first chance.
But if it necessary, he could stay here
through the summer without suffering. Lamont
looks worn out and the clerks at the White
House complaining, but the President and
his sister do not find it very bad, and will stay
here until August

The New SOecjaI Delivery Stamp.

WASHINGTON July 1.-THE Postmaster gen
eral has approved design for the new 10-cent
special delivery stamp authorized by Congress
at its last session The stamps will be about
twice the size of the ordinary stamp and the
shape of dollar note On the left of the stamp
there is a pretty vignette of a messenger boy in
uniform; across the top are the words Omitted
States Special Postal Delivery" and along the
bottom the price of the stamp ten cents, is
pressed in figures and letters. Conspicuous on
the body of the stamp are the words Secures
Immediate Delivery at the Special Delivery
Office" The whole design is very pretty and
effective The Postmaster general yesterday
gave it into the hands of the American Bank
Note Company, of New York.

advisable to bring back and pay freight for.
They were left in charge of a responsible per

Gen. j. w. Foster Fails in His Effort to NegO-
tate a Commercial Treaty.
WASHINGTON, July lit Is said Col. John
W. Foster, who represents this government in
Spain, has failed to negotiate second CONNER
eial treaty between that country and the United
States. He is expected to return home at an
early day. Colonel Foster was sent to Spain
about two months ago, with instructions to
negotiate treaty in place OF the one which
he had previously negotiated, and which was
considered by the Senate. The changes made IN
the new treaty were in the interest of the bust
ness men of this country, and were principally
in relation to tobacco. Spanish officials have not
looked favorably upon a second treaty. The
Minister OF Foreign affairs especially, iDdis-
posed to negotiate He thought, and so init
mated, that the first treaty should have had
final consideration by the Senate: that it should
have been either rati I'd or rejected, and not
withdrawn before final faction. In his argument
with Colonel Foster on the proposed second
had agreed to one reciprocity treaty;
that the United States had not acted upon it.
and that under these circumstances his govern
ment could not continue the negotiations. The
first treaty. il will be remem bered elected much
discussion in the newspapers of the country, and
considerable opposition to it was manifested.
1t was also antagonzed in the Senate. On

the Senate withdrawing the treaty, that it
might be examined by the new Cabinet. Col
Foster, some weeks later, was instructed to re-

An Oregon Surgeons Sagacity.


Many remarkable stories have been told con-
corning the sagacity of the sturgeon, some of
which have been hard to believe That these fish
are endowed with heap of savoy is shown by
the following Yesterday afternoon number of
representa- tives from the fish markets of this city
embarked on board the steamer Calliope to see
the launch of the Multnomah. They were stand
ing in row along the rail when a philosophical
looking old sturgeon leaped out of the river the
guard of the boat, as if to get better view of
the launch. Happening to look up he saw row
of fish dealers with their eyes fixed upon him,
evidently calculating how much he would weigh
when made into sea bass. With frightened
snort the astute fish leaped back into his native
element, went down, and minute later came to
the surface half a mile off looking back to see il
he was pursued Seeing the fshmen still stand

tail to the end of his nose and gently waved ii,
