WASHINGTON BUREAU, THE OMAHA BE,
5l3 FoURTEENTa STREET,
WASHINGTON. D. c.. June 81.


The president day cleared up several Of
the appointments under the treasury depart
ment which have been hanging fire for some
time, and it is understood that further
batch of appointments will be forthcoming
to morrow. As far as possible the slate of
important places will be worked off this
week, and when the president finally leaves
for Deer Park, which he will do in all prob
ability some time next week, he will go with
the intention Of leaving business matters en-
tirely behind him. He proposes to have n
thorough rest and to remain as far away
from the worry of official life as possible.
The president has worked almost night
and day since he assumed the duties
of his Office, and even on
the brief trips which he has taken
down the Potomac to New York aud to Cape
May, he had his hands filled with the affairs
of government and had no opportunity
to enjoy himself. With all the work of the
closing days of the fiscal year upon him, the
president finds it is almost impossible for
him to get away for his accustomed few
hours rest each week, and has decided not to
go to Cape May on Saturday, as he originally
intended 1t is probable, too, that the Deer
Park trip will not be taken as soon as he in
tended. The indications now are that the
dress at Woodstock and will then visit his
family Mt Deer Park. or in Washington and
accompany them there.
TWO IMPORTANT MISSIONS.
There are two other important foreign mis-
sons to be filled by the president and some
think they will be filled within the next ten
days. Colonel Elliott F. Shephard who was
here yesterday is anxious to succeed to the
honors which were reserved for Allen Thorn
dyke Rice, and Is doing what he can to en-
hance mis- own prospects for representing the
United States in the court OF the car MIR.
Sheppard Is desirous of spending few years
in st. Petersburg, In diplomatic capacity,
and nasmuch as the place WAS assigned,
originally to New York, his chance is consid-
cred to be fair. The Chinese mission will
doubtless go to a western man, and inasmuch
as Mr.. Kasson has again demonstrated his
ability as a diplomat, in connection with
MIR. William Walter Phelps in the negotia-
tion of the Samoan treaty, it is thought
highly probable that upon his return to
Washington he will be consulted in refer
ence to this place, and if he expresses any
Willingness to proceed to China he will be
assigned to that mission.
