driving in his face Gil the time. He took
a hot bath and had himself vigorously
rubbed and slept we'll. Yesterday he had
seemed none the worse for his exposure.
He is very tired and shows it plainly, and
the violent use he made of his voice in
delivering his address Monday under
suoh untayorabie conditions oompels him
to use his throat az little and ss carefully
as possible.
But his health is good, and he will
manage presently TO get some rest from
a strain Of severe labor that has Lasted
almost continuously from the date of his
nomination. He breakfasted at yesterday
morning, and went to his desk a half an
hour later. But the throngs OF visitors
gave him little opportunity to stay there.
His first official act was to sign the ap-
pointment Of Hslford as private secre-
taiy, and then TO Sign the message noni-
Mating the cabinet. Ihis is about all the
official work he got chance 10 do during
the day. Something like $4,000 people
tried to break into the White House.
Thousands of people crowded the paved
walks in the grounds all day and stood
ankle deep in the mud on the lawns in
the hope of getting chance to enter the
house or at least Of seeing the President
OF window.
