WHITE HOUSE EPIsTLEs.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland Write Many
Letters Every Day.
Boston Herald Corresp ondence.

Boston Herald CorresD ondence.
The President is one of the most industrious
of letter-writers He likes TO sit at his desk and
write letter after letter upon almost every con-
ceivable topic that is likely to come up at the
White House, and has no use for the services of
a stenographer which is allowed him by law
The President writes very fine, lady like hand,
which looks like copperplate. All of his vetoes
are prepared by him and handed over TO one of
his assistant private secretaries. who copies it
upon lead colored paper and attaches the separ-
ate sheets together with 2 narrow blue ribbon in
the left hand corner. Then the vetoeS are car
ried back to the President and placed upon the
desk presented by Queen Victoria, in the library
The President reads the copy over carefully. and
if he finds it al right he signs Grover Cleve-
land" at the bottom with fancy flourish under
meath. He answers scores of letters every day
which are addressed to him by private individu-
ais. Mr.. Cleveland likes TO look over the curious
letters which come in his mail Not few Of
them he replies to. There probably never has
been President who has written much with
his own hand as Mr. Cleveland. He Is not obliged
to do it by any means, but he writes simply be-
cause he likes to.
Since she has been in the White House Mrs.
Cleveland has been attacked with the letter
writing craze. She writes on an average twenty
letters each day. Several of them are mlssives
to old school friends. but the remainder are to
people personally unknown to her. Mrs. Cleve
land answers every letter received by her, and
it is said that she always says something in each
which will please the person for whom the letter
is intended. Most OF the letters which come to
the White House bearing her name are from
young married women. They make all sorts of
queer requests. Some want advice and some the
earth Mrs. Cleveland gives advice freely where
she thinks it will be received in the proper spirit
and where she thinks the writer is sincere, but
she has vein of sarcasm for meddlesome per-
sons who are attempting 10 gain temporary no
toriety She writes much larger hand than
her distinguished husband 1t is plain and a
trife uneven, and looks as though she hadn't
fully settled upon her style. Sometimes the
lines run down hill. and the whole letter appears
to be hastily prepared The President and Mrs.
Cleveland are having great time writing letters
at the executive mansion. 1t is form of amuse-
ment however, which will not be likely to SUI
persede the prevailing fashion of keeping ones
correspondence all the way from week to q
year behind haR&.

The Civil-service REFORM Machine.

WASHINGTON, Aug. I5.-The Post quotes one
OF the Civil-service Commissioners as saying,
with regard to the appointment of Mr.. Webster.
Republican. as chief examiner of the Civil
service Commission: "It was precisely in the
line Of promotion, and it was only carrying out
tho policy of the President in making
the civil-service machinery as free from
the suspicion of partisanship as possible 1t has
been recognized and commented on that the
Commission under Republican administrations,
was so exclusively Republican in its complexion
that it laid itself open to at least the charge of
being party machine. The President is deter
mined to make sure that there shall never be
any foundation for the breathing of that charge
against the Commission while it is under Dem
oeratic administration. It was thought that to
insure this. since the majority of the exam
ining boards throughout the country were
Democrats, would be only right to have the chief
examiner, who examines all the reports from
the several boards. a Republican. In doing this
also the President attained his object of restor-
ing the Commission to its former balance of
political appointees.
The Civi-service Commission has now under
consideration the project of bringing under
Civil-service rules every postofice from which a
carrier delivery is made 1t is expected that
there will be moro changes in the rules before
long

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15--President Cleveland,
accompanied by Mrs. Cleveland and her
mother, Mrs Folsom, and Colonel and Mrs.
Lamont, will leave Washington en- route for
the Adirondacks tomorrow. Colonel and Mrs
Lamont will leave the party at Albany, and
viii spend their vacation in New York State
No mail will be forwarded to the President or
obened by him during his absence. Any public
business requiring his immediate consideration
will be brought to his attention by the Cabinet
officers To the numerous special CORE
spondents who have asked to accompany
him upon his trip, the President has
said that he was sure the public did not
desire that minute details should be given OF all
his movements during his vacation, as such a
course would utterly defeat the object and pur-
poses Of his trip which are for rest and quiet, and
freedom from annoyance. He believes that the
people are willing to concede this to him, and,
SO far as their requirements are concerned in the
matter of news, that they will be satisfied
TO permit him RELEASE from impertinent in
trusion; and be believes that the decent press
OF the country are, also, willing that
this should be accorded to him. At any rate, he
will feel fully justified in any effort to render
unsuccessful any attempt TO defeat his wishes In
this particular. In recognition, however Of
pardonable curiosity as to any incident of inter-
est that may take place during his vacation, he
has himself made arrangements whereby any

DISAPPOINTED CHINESE.
They Fail to Understand the Dilatory Meth
DDS of Congress.


DDS of Congress.
Washington Correspondence Philadelphia Times.
At the Chinese legation there is great disap-
pointment felt over the failure of the House to
pass the bill appropriating money to defray the
indemnity proposed to be paid for the victims of
the Wyoming Chinese massacres. The imperial
government, or that portion of it which deals
with foreign affairs, is anxious for the passage
of that measure. 1t has already passed the Sem
ate, but it failed in the last busy hours to get
through tho House. 1t is difficult for our ORR
entail friends to understand our methods After
the bill passed the Senate Chinese Minis
ter landed at San Francisco. The outgoing
Minister had telegraphed his government that
the Council of Elders" as the Mandarin
tongue interprets our Senate, had passed the
bill. The retiring minister, on his way home
received at Chicago dispatch ordering him to
remain and bring the indemnity money with
him. This, OF course he conld net do, aud the
matter was explained TO the new minister who
permitted the old to go his way to the
Celestial Empire. 1t is great disappointment
to the Chinese that the bill failed to become a
law. Some of their shrewd comments are worth
repeating, A very prominent member of the
legation remarked that it was very strange the
American people should be so Indifferent. If a
single Irish-American was arrested in Ireland
the whole country would become hgitated, but
We took very coolly the massacre of scores
and the driving away of seven hundred
Cinnamon to the mountains and railroad
China was unwilling that such a crime should
pass without reparation. The attacha said also
that the imperial government had no interest in
the immigration of its subjects. 1t had done and
would continue to do its best to prevent any
wrong and unlawful traffic in labor. But the
real traffic was carried on by and from the Brit
ish colony of Hong Kong. All the persons leav-
ing China as laborers were natives of 8 small
portion of a great province The trouble was
the high wages paid here. If Chinsman came
to America, and got 50 90 per day it was not
possible to keep that fact away from his coun-
trymen of that part who got perhaps but cents
per day. They would get around the police
There was money to be made in contracting their
labor and Transporting them to California or
other Pacific coast ports. The contractors did
their work through Hong Kong. The Chinese
government did their best to stop it, and would
continue to do so, but it could not be silent when
its subjects were anywhere outraged and OPP
pressed. There is logic and sound sense, at
least, in the position of the Chinese diplomatist
