Crowded With visitOrs-Hazen's
Court Martial. Etc.

WASHINGTON, March l1.-There was about
the usual rush of visitors TO the White
House to-day. The President arose early
and at once bstcok himself to opening the
mail, which was unusually large. AS one
of the clerks at the White House put it,
President Cleveland receives as many
letters IN day as the ex-President rsceiv I'd
10 a week" It is fair inference that mauy
lette rs relate 20 appointments TO OH %. rhe

many OF whom had been waiting some tio"
Among the callers were Congressional de -
cations from Kentucky, Illinois, low :
North Carolina and Florida.
The Secretary of War called about noou
and had long conference with the Pres,-
dent. At ] o'clock the doors of the Whits
House were thrown open to the public, aud
the President was kept busy receiving his
callers for over an hour.
Colonel Lamont said to-day that the re-
duction in the clerical force ia the White
House was made merely in the interest of
economy, and therefore no appointments
will be made to fiji the vacancies. He said
there might possibly be one or two more
changes in the personnel of the force. but
that would be all. Since President
Clevelsnd's Inauguration the entire clerical
been busily engaged from s o'clock in tba
morning until midnight, and IL is expected
the rush of business will compel q continu-
ance Of these working hours for some tioe
to come. One Of the regulations Of the
House prohibits employees from smoking in
the House.
Edward d. Clark, of Vicksburg, Mics, to-
day nominated for Assistant Secretary OF
the Interior. is q member in very high
standing Of the Bar OF Mississippi,
and has practiced before the Supreme
Court of the United States. He is said to be
a man of great legal learning and force OF
char cter, who has been so welded to his
profession that be has steadfastly declined to
have any connection with politics, although
holding strong Democratic opinions.
At the POstOfice and Interior Departm ants
the rush of visitors continued to-day without
diminution and notices have been posted ia
conspicuous places by the Postmaster Gen.
eral and Secretary of the Interior to the
effect that only Senators and Representatives
will be received after noon. This regul alton
is beginning to have percephble effect, and
both these officials now find time TO devote
small part of the day to the transaction Of
necessary routine business.
The Secretary of the Treasury had large
number OF callers to-day, including three
nelegauons; one from Kentucky, nsa1ed oy
Senstor Beck and Speaker Carlisle; Another
from North Carolina, headed by Senator

two greatest Bureaus in the Government
that the transfer of the folios by the retire
ment of Secretaries McCuilch and Hatton,
and the inductian of Manning and Villas,
had not made jar or jostle. The work ran
along Just as smoothly, and there was just
as much Of ii done on the day OF

il may be said, been an improvement in the

the line that this is to be q working admins

The change of administration has given a

vigor and htalthfulnets springing up, and
by the time the sluggards are dismissed and
good men secured at the head of the bureaus
and different branches of the service, the
spirit OF work will have psrmea.ed every

LIQUOR AND TOBACCO CONSUMPTION

LIQUOR AND TOBACCO CONSUMPTION
Some of the advocates OF temperance
hail the latest report of the Commits
sion of Internal Revenue as evidence
that reform in the habits of the people
is making progress. 1t appears from
the report that the Government re-
ceived s9,5I2,545 less from the tax on
spirits distilled, during the last fiscal
year, than during the previous year,
and this decrease implies a reduction
of 10, 800, 900 gallons, or about IA per
cent, in the quantity taken from Gov
eminent warehouses for consumption.
If it were right to infer that the guam
tity consumed had been in the same
measure diminished the indication
would be rather more hopeful than it
now is For it is probable that a large
part of the decrease in withdrawal for
consumption during the past year has
been due to the fact that the market
had previously been much oversupplied
with tax-paid whiskey, and that more
than twice as much whiskey was sent
abroad as in the previous year, either
to evade duties or with honest expecta-
tons of finding customers abroad.
Nevertheless, the decrease in con-
sumption is important to be noticed in
connection with the fact that the con-
sumption of fermented liquor has at
the same time increased. The Govern
ment receipts from the tax on fer
mented liquors were about per cent
more than in the previous year, which
indicates a consumption exceeding
1910, 900 barrels. Reckoning the
population according to the latest met
hods for January I, about the middle
of each of the two fiscal years, it ap-
pears that the consumption of whiskey
in the fiscal year 1884 was about I.39
gallons for every inhabitant, while the

THE PRESIDENT AT HOME.

An Army of Once SEEKERS Awaiting HIS
Arii,at-Secrctary Eayari Ready With
Large Number of Consular Changes.
WAsHINGToN, September 7.-President
Cleveland, accompanied by Colonel La
mont, arrived here at So'clock this morn
ing. The Presidents carriage was in
waiting at the depot, and the two gentle
men were Immediately driven to the
White House, where, after breakfast,
they settled down at once to work. The
President, who is well tanned by the sun,
and who appears much improved by his
trip, says that he has had an excellent
time, and has enjoyed perfect health.
He has not been i'll a single day since lie

mated.
Soon after their arrival the President
and his secretary were both busily en-
gagged at work. The mail which had &C
cumulated during their absence was very
large and it will take some days of dill
gent effort to get matters into proper
shape for action. Although it was not
expected that the President would re-
| turn until tomorrow, the ce-seekers
began to invade the city on Saturday, so
as to be on hand and ready. A large
number are on hand waiting for an OPP
portuity to obtain an interview with the
| chief magistrate. A number of members
of Congress are also here to push the
claims of their constituents, and the lob
bies of the hotels are beginning to be
lively. 1t is generally believed that a
heavy pressure will be brought to bear
upon the President to mako extensive
changes in those states especially which
hold elections this fall, the party leaders
believing that this is necessary in order
to effect the results desired, and feeling
also that it is a duty which the Prcsi-
dent owes to the party to aid it in all
| legitimate ways.

still absent and are not expected to re-

| During the time that the President has
been absent Secretary Bayard has been
actively at work revising the consular
service, and it is stated that he has pre-

which he will lay before the President at
the earliest opportunity.
