the President will not be accompanied
by either his secretary or
any member of his Cabinet
ID. Ward, of Albany, who was with him
last year in the Adirondacks, has again
been invited to 90, and it is probable
that not more than one or possibly two
personal friends of the President will
compose the party. They will stop at a
small hotel in the woods, which will be
their headquarters, and Il telegraph op-

his services are required. The Presi-

of his stay will be determined by the con-
dition of public affairs, but he has been
advised to remain away from Washing

made to say OF the clause in the contract
that the ship should be built in accord

Congress-:

"The obvious intention OF this was to

hand over the Dolphin as security that ne

This reasoning can not be the work of
