AGAIN ON DUTY,
The President Not Overburdened Will
Callers To-Day.

Applicants for an opportunity to see the
President were not as numerous as had been
expected. good many of the anxious ones
had doubtless been celebrating the inaugural
centennial, and they felt as though little rest
was an imperative necessity before settling
down once more to secure recognition-sub-
stantial or otherwise--from the admins
tration. On the lower floor there was
a great crowd of visitors, princi-
pally the overflow from New York. They
were on their way to their homes in the west
and south and stopped over to feast their eyes
and aesthetic tastes on the springt;me glories
of the most beautiful city OF the world. The
great majority were attired in military cos
tunes of many varieties. but there were lots
OF nice pretty girls, and there was also an
abundance of the well-fed. homespun-clad,
bucolc element which makes periodical but
rare excursions to the capital. and which stares
with undisguised amaZement and admiration
at the splendors of the east room.
SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES,
were by no means plentiful, Senator Sawyer
being the only member of the first class, while
OF the latter there were but metaphorlcal
handful.
Representative Baker had with him VIM. II.
ii. lerkes. of New York, while Representative
Henderson, of Illinois. was accompanied by Mr..
Dlller, OF the Sucker" state. Ex-senator Lap
ham. of New York held brief communion with
the President, and SO did Representative Cald-
well, of Ohio.
tive was Mr.. Owen, but he did not stay long
He was satisfied or dissatisfied in little while
Representative Cultivate was the only demo-
crat who put III an appearance.
Ex-hepresentative Thomas called around to
see if his chances had improved to any con-
fhn, OF Con- \ 4
departed with very encouraging smile upon
his face.
FROM MINNESOTA.
The last to see the President before the
library door was closed to the public for the
day were the members of little party from
Minnesota. They went through by the way of
Secretary Halford's room. In the lead was
Representative-elect ID. S. Hall. and following
close behind were ex-Representative Ii. B.
Strait and Hon. Eugene G. Hay. Mr.. Hay be-
leves that the district attorneys office in
him, and he is after it with all
his might. The President was very glad
to see him, for not long ago Mr.. Hay was a
resident of indianapolis and favorite friend
of Gen. Harrison. Since he went to Minnesota
he has achieved some distinction, and he was q
member of the last legislature.
S. w. Mcdaniel, of Boston; State Senator
Briggs, of Connecticut, and John A. Leary of
Philadelphia; Joseph P. Gillian, OF Virginia.
and Rev. JAS p. DePass. director of the Flor
ida experimental station at Lake City, Fla,
only wanted to pay their respects, and they
were admitted.
