Their Work-The Controversy Between
 WASHINGTON, Nov 19-In relation to the
 rumor that the president contemplated sell
 ing Oak View" prominent real estate men,
 wGo would be likely to know if any negotia- uons had been in progress to dispose of the presidents home, deny that there is word of truth in the story. He has not decided to go to Europe, nor will he live in retirement at Oak View or sell that fine suburban prop city. First of all, Mir. Cleveland will take a good long vacation when he retires from of lice. He will spend some time in New York city, and perhaps make a western trip later 1n the spring, far as the Pacific coast
 Wien summer opens it is likely to find him at ms brothers parsonage, up on the edge of the North Woods, ready to strike into the wilderness for good long fishing expedition The chances are that another autumn will see Citizen Grover Cleveland one of the l, ,- 6oo,OOO souls that go to make up the popula- tion of the great metropolis
 WHERE THE LEADERS WILL GO
 Secretary Bayard is going into complete retirement on his estate at Wilmington The door of the senate chamber is closed to him, he has long been out of law practice, and there Is little prospect of his re-entering pub lie life
 
 vacation, too. He and Mrs Whitney will sail for Europe next summer and remain abroad several summers. The secretary may open law office in New York again. but biz business enterprises in which he is engaged with his brother-in-law, Oliver Payne will occupy all his time.
 Secretary Fairchild will return to his old home at Cazenovia, and probably to his AL bany law practice. He enjoys a comfortable frrfry Il which leaves him out of office brings him no personal disappointment.
 Secretary Endicott will go straight back to the home of his ancestors in Salem, Mass, as soon as he turns over his portfolio to his successor He will never seek public office again Judge Endicott has a good law busi- ness.
 Attorney General Garland will settle down to the practice of his profession in Washing ton lie Is regarded as a very fine lawyer, and doubtless will have all the cases he can handle. He has recently bought handsome house in this city.
 Postmaster General Dickinson has not de- termined what his course will be after March 4 In fact, he has not had time to give the matter any serious thought If he does not go to New ork the postmaster general can resume his professional labors in Detroit
 Secretary of the Interior William F. Villas has no plans for the future that he cares to talk about, except that he will probably re- turn to Madison, Wis, where he left a S4O,OOo law practice to become postmaster general
 Gen. John c. Black, the commissioner of pensions, is comparatively poor man and Will miss the salary now paid him by the government. He has made no plans what ever for the future
 Col Daniel Lamont will become a citizen ot the mighty metropolis. The nature of the colonels future business he does not wish to have stated at present, but it is settled that ne Is to go to New York on big salary He Is not going into the newspaper business. and will try real hard to keep out of politics for few years at least
 THE BLACKBURN-RUCKER CONTROVERSY
 hentuckianS here are growing interested ln the three cornered controversy now being waged between Judge Rucker, Senator Black burn and Secretary Endicott Those who know Rucker state that he is not the man to Slt down quietly and allow any man to call hlm "a carlcature upon humanity, for whose existence in fair dealing the Lord owes an apology to mankind" Rucker is said to be quite as much of a fire eater as the junior senator from Kentucky. It will be remem- bered that in the shooting scrape with editor of the Kansas City Times Rucker. who was unarmed, walked up to his assailant and wrenched the half emptied pistol from nls grasp For more than year Rucker was police court justice at Leadville during the most exciting period of that city's de- velopment. Fucker will certainly call Blackburn to account for that characterize t1on, said a kentuckian. ''Joe will have to answer for it or take it back"
 CHAMBERLAIN AND HIS BRIDE

 SACKvILLE SELLING OUT
 Considerable interest attaches to the sale of Lord Sackville's household effects, which akes place to-day. The articles to be sold Ire many and handsome, and the wines are specially fine. The talk of appealing to the eSAetaiy oA tue treasury 10 stay the sale be- 'ause the articles were imported for Lord Sackvllles use without paying duty, was evi- iently idle gossip, as the secretary has no egal power to interfere in any way. Persons teslrlng to attend the sale will be compelled 0 first procure tickets of admission from Auctioneer Bowling.
 PROPOSED ARMY APPOINTMENTS It is understood that the four staff appoint- nents in the army will be filled by President I Cleveland at an early day.
