Separated From His Bride For The
First Time Since His Marriage.
DEER PARK, Md, June For the first
time since their marriage President Cleve-
land was to-day separated from his wife for
several hours. An early breakfast was par
taken of at Baltimore & Ohio cottage No. 3,
and at $50 a. m. a two-seated phaeton was
driven up to the door. The President
brought out two small baskets and little
package and placed them in the carriage and
few minutes afterward, accompanied by
his private secretary Colonel Lamont, came
out wearing soft travelling hat and broad
cloth suit. The two gentlemen took seats,
and as they drove off waved adieux to their
respective wives, their destination being
Deep Creek, where they had arranged to pu-
in few hours trout fishing. The weather
was rather threatening and consequently the
ladies did not venture out to fish in ex-
Senator Davis creek near the station as
was their intention, but spent the morning
on the pretty piazza of their cottage. About
p. IN. Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Lamont
called for the Presidents carriage and went
for drive over the mountains, returning
about $50 p. m. During their outing they
stopped for Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Lieutenant
Brown, who accompanied them. A few
minutes after the ladies returned the Presi-
dent and Colonel Lamont arrived from their
fishing trip. Their catch was large, but ex-
act figures cannot be given as the estimates
run from twenty to more than one hundred.
At all events there are plenty of fish for to-
morrow's breakfast. There were no Incl
dents worthy of chronicle during the fish
y60
last night, has been riding about
the park to-day, but has no
news of an important character. The
indications are strong tonight that the hon
eymoon is about concluded, and while it can
not be definitely stated when the party will
leave the mountains, it is almost certain that
tomorrow will be their last day here. There
are three regular trains from here each day;
one at a. m, another at 10 o'clock noon
and the last at 10 o'clock midnight.
The presidential special will under the
regulations of the railroad company have
as a second section and it is believed that
the twelve o'clock noon train will be the one
selected. Should this train prove to be the
one which the special will follow the party
will reach Washington about seven o'clock
in the evening There will be no attempt on
the part of the President to keep his move
ments quiet, and when it is finally decided
when the party is to start due notice will be
given to those interested
The fact that Stephen B. Elkins is here
and that ex-senator Davis returned to Deer
Park on account of an engagement with the
President before leaving last night is regard
ed by some persons as very significant in
connection with the rumor which has been
circulated that the ex-senator is anxious to
secure the Treasury portfolio in the event of
the retirement of Secretary Manning at the
expiration of his leave IN October. Ex-Sen-
ator Davis was visited by representatives of
the press tonight and asked whether it was
true that he desired to secure the posi-
ton as above. ''Well," said the Sena-
tor, ''that is a pointed question" The
| question was then put whether or not
he had conversed with the President
on the subject or whether the President had
| intimated that he would like to have Davis
| accept the position. To these questions Mr..
Davis responded: stI would rather not talk
about the matter" During the course of
| further conversation Mr.. Davis said that he
| and Mr.. Elkins were to call ON the President
| tomorrow. One of the ladies who rode with
| Mrs. Cleveland is quoted to night as having
| remarked that Mrs. Cleveland liked her sur
roundings SO we'll that she would remain till
| Saturday. Whether this remark was actually
| made or not cannot be asoertained. To-mor-
row the presidential party will probably
| drive to Eagle Rock mountain, of the
highest elevations in the neighborhood.
