The president has had q very busy
time since his return here last Thursday
and I daresay he is heartily glad that he
is to start for Bar Harbor to pay Mr..
Blaine visit tomorrow. The politicians
seemed to recognize this to be their
only opportunity to get ut the president
before the fall, and they have made the
most of it. Every minute Of his availa-
ble time, and much that would not have
been available, except for his good ma
tured desire to give all a hearing, has
been taken up by his callers. Washing
ton has suddenly found herself almost
as full of prominent republicans as in
March. The result is quite large batch
of appointments, and more are expected
tonight or tomorrow before the president
leaves. Among the most important
among the appointments were ex-Gov.
Yarmouth, Of Louisiana, to be collector
Of the port of New Orleans; John T..
Patty, Of Louisiana, "a colored mani to
be naval officer at New Orleans, and j.
r g. Pitkin, of Louisiana, to be minis
lister to the Argentine Republic.
Postmaster General Wanamaker has
issued an order extending the age limit
governing the appointment of letter
carriers in nOn-civil service post Offices
from thirty-fiv to forty years. The age
limitation does not apply to persons
honorably discharged from army or
navy.
The seizure Of the Canadian sealer
"Black Diamond" in Behring sea by the

set down as certain, the administration
is determined to carry out the law, and
every vessel caught illegally taking seals
in Behring's sea will be seized. Repre-
sentative Farquhar, Of New York, who
was q prominent member of the con-
gressi0nal committee which made the
Investigation of the seal fisheries that
led to the enactment of the law under
