WASHINGTON, Dec. lG.--The delegates
to the convention OF the National Guards
Association Of the United States, now ia
session here, this morning proceeded Ia
the White House, where they had an APP
pointment TO meet the president. They
were received in his private oili3e, and
each delegate introduced TO the president
by Col Bridges, who was formerly OF
Cleveland's staff when governor. The
delegates were received very cordially,
and an informal talk followed IN regard
TO the bill which IL Is proposed TO bring
to the attention of congress. The presi-
dent said he was much interested
in the state militia, and from his eXper-
lence while governor he could appreciate
the Importance and necessity for such an
organization IN every state. He had not
given the subject the attention which he
felt it demanded, but he thought il was a
matter well worthy the consideration Of
congress, and hoped the association
would be successful ia the objects for
which they had convened. The delegates
then called on Gen Sheridan, Gen. Vim
cent and the secretary OF WET, and had
informal talks with each OF these officials
on the scope and purpose Of the bill which
they had prepared

AWAITING TuE TURN or EVRNTs.
The slowness in making appointments
Mt the house aud the capitol In view OF
the TACT that there has never been such a
rush OF applicants for places, is quite as.
touishlng TO some of the members. Ii is
due, however, TO the determination of the
clerk, the doorkeeper aud other officers
to wait until the committees have been
formed before making any changes. 1t
may depend somewhat upon who is made
chairman OF certain committees whether
there arc to be many changes among tho
sue-clerks in the house. Then, too, there
is Il desire in the heart of the officers OF
the house to ilnd ont Just how much aud
what kind Of forces they are going to need
before making any changes. The adop-
ton of the report OF the committee ON
rules may work so much change IN the
modes OF doing business that some change
OF the force may be neccssi,atcd, hence
the grlst Of appointments grinds out slow
