AN ILL-BRED ENGL1sHMAN.
Rev. MIR. Haweis Reports Private Converse
tion He Had with Miss Cleveland.


tion He Had with Miss Cleveland.
Washington Special
A good deal of comment has been created In
Washington by the publication through the
Rev. Dr. Haweis of an interview with the Presi
dent and his sister, Miss Cleveland, in a recent
number Of the Pail Mall Gazette. The Rev.
Doctor represents Miss Cleveland as saying that
she thinks her brother should have a second
term, in order to enable him to accomplish such
reforms as he has in his mind. The Rev. Doctor
announces. with a flourish, that he was intro
duced to the President by letter from Mr..
Abram B. Hewitt who may any day be nom
inated for the presidency" This Engishman
takes advantage of the fact that he was received,
20 write every scrap of the private conversation
held with him by the people to whom he was
introduced st the White House The English peo-
pie are fond Of criticising American newspapers
and the habit of printing in this country inter.
views with public men. 1t is very doubtful il
there could be found in the entire length and
breadth OF American journalism man contempt
Able enough to report for publication private con-
yersations obtained through social courtesy.
The fact OF the improperly Is still further height
ened by the fact that Haweis was introduced by
Q reputable gentleman who stood sponsor for
MS observing the common courtesies of life.
Miss Cleveland is extremely sensitive and
shrinks as much as possible from all newspaper
notoriety. If the English visitor had INTENDED
20 make the unkindest possible return for the
Civility shown to him at the White House he
could rot have discovered any better means
than by reporting an alleged political converse.
zion between himself and Miss Cleveland The
real fact is that the bulk of the conversation re
ported by him is purely imaginary. Miss Cleve
land never talks politics with any of her callers
IT was rule that she made when she first went
into the White House to never discuss political
subjects with her callers. The English pennya
liner minister is the first one to report her as
having doviated from her rule.

Washington Special.
Commissioner Blacks management OF the
Pension Bureau stands very little show OF es-
Gaping the scrutiny Of Congress. Republicans
In both branches have introduced resolutions for
the investigation Of the management during the
past and present administrations. In the House
resolution was introduced by Representative
Buchanan for an investigation Of General
Blacks administration of the Office, and num-
Der Of similar resolutions are being pre-
pared by other members. The Senate on Monday
will call up Senator Voorhees, resolution to in
guire into the charges preferred by Commission
Or Black against the former Commissioner, and
which was amended by General Logan SO as
TO include an investigation of General Blacks
official acts. This resolution took the place Of
one offered by Senator Harrison, who asked to-
day, when the resolution came up before the
eenate, that it might 60 over under the rules,
and be SO drafted as to be acceptable to himself
end to Senator Voorhees,.
The thing which in part has stirred up the hos
tility to General Black seems to be that the let
tiers of members of Congress relating to pension
business do not receive proper attention, and
that when members themselves call at the bu-
reau they are not treated with courtesy Al
prominent Western member says that he never
goes to see General Black without feeling humil-
stated. II am nothing but q member of Con-
gress" he said. "but as an American citizen
feel that should receive half way decent treat
ment from the public servants"
Senator Mitchell, of Pennsylvania, called at
The Office the other day and asked to see the
Commissioner The messenger at first refused to
take in his card The Senator believed that he
had a right to see General Black and commanded
the messenger to announce him. After good
deal of hesitation this was done, but the mes
seDger returned to say that General Black was
busy and could not be disturbed

''Yes sir; but he says he's busy" replied the
messenger.

into the deputy's room and requested to be
shown into the presence of the Commissioner,
expressing the opinion that as chairman of the
pensions committee, he had the right to see the
pension officials on business. The deputy took
him into the room where General Black sat look
ing over his mail. AS they entered, the General
looked up for an instant, and then, without say
Ang word, went on with his work aud completed
