WASHINGTON BUREAU, THE OMAHA Bsr.
5l3 FoURTEENTH STREET,


5l3 FOURTEENTH STREET, ,
WASHINGTON. >. c., July 15 ]
The president while practically enjoying
vacation ut Deer Park, still keeps one eye
upon the business Of his office In Washing
ton. AS fast as the heads Of tho various de-
partments get their papers into shape for the
appointments Of the various subordinates
under them they will be sent to the Alleghan-
les, and the president will, IL he approves
the recommendations in each case sign the
commissions and return them TO his executive
clerk, Major Pruden, and the announcement
of these appointments will be made from the
white house, as usual. The report which
has been in circulation to the effect that the
president proposes to hold cabinet meetings
and carry on u regular executive Office at his
cottage in the mountains, is unfounded He
WILL while there. devote as little attention TO
business as possible, and will try and enjoy his
vacation to the fullest extent He will come to
Washington only when compelled to do so,
and will not mix up business with pleasure
further than the needs of the public service
demand. His absence has caused COM
plete stampede Of the office-seekers, and the
hotel registers show fewer arrivals during
the past two or three days than at any time
since tho adjournment of congress for tho
recess just preceding the election.
DISASTROUS TO PAUL.
The civil service commissioners are at
work upon their supplementary report in re-
lation to the conduct of affairs in the post
office at Milwaukee,. This report will be
ready for presentation to the president upou
his return to Washington, and If he does not
come back this week, as now seems likely, IL
Is probable that 1t will be sent to him ut Deer
Park. Postmaster Paul, the Milwaukee
official, was censured by the full board OF
commissioners on account of his action In
permitting violation of the law in the selec-
tion of employees. He was not satisfied with
the findings of the commissioners, although
their report did not recommend his re-
moval and after he had created
a great deal of a rumpus Commissioner
Roosevelt proceeded to Milwaukee again and
made further examination While the re-
suit of this has not yet been made public, 1T
is generally understood here that Post
master Paul's removal will surely fol
low its publication, and that u postmaster
will be appointed for Milwaukee who will be
more likely to keep himself strictly in the
limits of the law. But for Mr.. Paul's ex-
cltement, it is probable that he would have
been allowed to remain to complete mis- term.
AS it is he is certain to be asked to step down
and out.
THE EX-CHANoeLLoRs.
ExChancelor Manatt and ey-Chancellor
Fairfield, late OF the University of Nebraska,
who were recently appointed consuls to
Athens and Lyons, respectively, are still in
this country, and neither of the gentlemen
has yet decided when he will start for his
post. MIR. Manatt will return to Nebraska
before sailing, in any event MIR. Fairfield
is now q resident of Michigan, and is under
stood to be at his home strengthening out his
affairs preparatory to his departure for
France.
PLEASED WITH NEBRASKA.
Pension Commissioner Tanner continues
to express the utmost pleasure over his visit
to the west, and is particularly happy in his
references to the treatment which he re-
ceived at the hands of the people of Ne
braska He says that his reception in that
state was of the kindest possible character
and that he shall always feel that he has a
wide and very firm circle of friends in Ne
braska. "a. =.
