BAR HARBoR, Me-, Aug. 9.-President
Harrison has begun his stay at Bar Har-
bor by respiting for three weeks two
men who were to have been hanged TO-
day in Arkansas for murder. When he
crossed the threshold of the Blaine cot
tage last night. he was handed a tele-
graphic statement that new and i'm
portant evidence in the case of Jack
Spaniard had been forwarded,
and there was a suggestion
by the acting attorney gen
eral that a respite be given. In
view of the new evidence that is now
said to exist, respite until Aug. 80 was
telegraphed last night. This morning
another telegram reached the president
from the United States judge at Fort
Smith, Ark. suggesting in order to
avoid two executions in the same month,
one to-day and one on the 30th, that
respite to the latter date should be
granted to William Walker, who was
also to have been hanged to-day. This
suggestion was also, adopted. These
have been the presidents only official
acts since he arrived. In Bar
Harbor dispatches and imperative
letters are sent on from Washing
ton through. =. and a few letters
addressed to the president here have
been received, making his mail consist
of perhaps dozen letters. 10 these his
private secretary attends. Callers upon
the president were quite numerous,
though almost entirely consisting OF
summer residents of the place, but ma
tional affairs were a taboOed subject.
Among them were Hon. John r. Thonl-
nE tho PnSSian
minister, and Capt. Wills, of Minnesota.
These visitors came at different hours
III the day, but the president devoted
much of his time to resting. He had
slept more hours in the previous night
than in any night in three months. he
said, and the result was that
HE FELT MUCH REFRESHED.
His first step out of the cottage to-day
was towards blackboard which was to
take him to Offers Nest, a pretty cot
tage four or five miles off where
luncheon had been rendered him by
Mai. Aulick Palmer. In the buck
board with him went Secretary and
Mrs. Blaine. Congressman and Mrs.
Lodge, Miss Blaine, Charles Howe, Mr..
and Mrs. Gordon Cummings, his sec
retary: Walker Blaine and Mrs. f. Rol-
Inns Morse. The party left Stanwood
about noon. 1t drove to Maj. Palmer's
cottage. Senator and Mrs. Hale, came
from Ellswork in the morning. The
lunch tables were set Oh the
lawn and under the trees near
the water and in view of the mount
aims. President Harrison stood upon
the portico while he was introduced to
the prominent summer residents of Bar
Harbor and the residents of Ellsworth
and other places to whom lat home"
cards had been sent. Afterwards lunch
was served. With eight exceptions all
the guests were seated at tables on the
lawn. The exceptions were President
Harrison, Secretary and Mrs. Blaine.
Senator and Mrs. Hale, Mrs. Palmer,
the Turkish minister and Mrs. Lodge,
who lunched in the dining room.
Meanwhile the Bar Harb0r band
played. The president spent a
very enjoyable afternoon at this
luncheon. By4 o'clock he was at STAN
wood again and at 7:30 p. m. he made
one of private dinner party, which
included Senator and Mrs. Hale,
Mrs. Chandler, Mrs. III. A. Palmer,
Chatels Howe, Mrs. Burton Harrison
and Mrs. Patterson. This party'num-
bered fourteen in all. Tomorrow at
11:3O Secretary Blaine will take the
president and small party for sail to
Somes sound on the Sappho. In the
evening the Kebo Valley club, of which
Mr.. Blaine is a member, will hold re-
ceptlon in the presidents honor. For
