eral Wanamaker's yacht Restless. He will

and viii probably not return before Sunday

invited to accompany him, including several
members Of the cabinet
Another Harrison turned up at the White
House to-day. The name, Carter Harrison,
was printed in script on card artistically cut
OF at the corners 50 as to make 1t hexagonal.
II was not the card Of Carter Harrison Of Chi
cago. This one was from Virginia, Of the old
line Of Carriers and Harrisons.
RUSH Or coNaREssMES TO-DAY.
When there is no hope Of Offices being dis
tributed the Congressman grow less profuse in
their attentions on the President. They call
less often and leave the matter Of ofice-seek-
ing more to the candidates themselves. The
list OF appointments sent out last evening
awakened the drowsy interest Of these states
men and they appeared at the White House in
greater numbers than they have for some time.
The general list Of callers for the DAY was
smaller than usual, but the number of Repre-
sentatives among them showed marked in
crease. Senators Davis and Teller, and Repre-
sentatives Houk, Taylor of Tennessee, Browne
Of Indiana, Cutcheon, Delano, Pugsley and
Brewer were among the early callers. Ex-Sen-
ator Mcdonald called with friend.
WANTS A POSTMASTER BOUNCED.
Mr.. Cutcheon has Just come from the unveil-
ing Of the Michigan monument at Gettysburg
While down this way he dropped around to see
the President about some little matters Of in
terest to the Michigan folks. As rule he is
not seeking the removal of presidential post
masters in his district before the expiration Of
their terms, but there are two or three cases
where for sufficient cause he would like the
democrats bounced at once. One such bounc-
Ing has already occurred, and now there Is one
pending. Inconnection with this one he talked
at his home, Manistee, Mich. He says that the
democratic postmaster does not perform the
duties Of the Office at all, and does not pretend
TO-. He is q rich man, and such of the salary
as he does not pay to his deputy to look after
the Office he gives to the democratic committee
for campaign purposes. Mr.. Cutcheon says he
has never seen him in the post-offce since he
has been postmaster. The man expects to be
removed, and Mr.. Cutcheon wants the Presi-
dent to fulfil his expectations. He also spoke
to the President in the interest Of ex-Gov. Fair
child, who wants foreign mission.
REPRESENTATIVE cUTcHEoS TALKS ABOUT THE
COMING SESSION.
Mr.. Cutcheon expects to return home Mon
day. He has not quite made up his mind
Az
back with the rest Of his colleagues before De-
cember. He would not be surprised If Con-
gress were called together after October. He
expressed the opinion to q STAR reporter that
when Congress met there would be hard fight
over the adoption Of rules for the next House;
that the session would start off lively and be
pretty interesting all the way through. He
said he thought the tariff would be handled on
the same lines proposed by the republicans in
the last Congress, that they would propose a
large reduction on sugar duty, add to the free
list to the extent of 5000 900, and practically
repeal the tobacco tax.
WILL PROBABLY BAG A CONSULATE.
E1-Representative Horr, Of Michigan, who
was to see the President the other day, left
with the promise Of an important consularship.
He at 6rst wanted Montreal, but it was not con-
venient to give him that.
CANNOT AGREE ON A CANDIDATE.
The two Minnesota Senators are in q fight
over some Of the appointments in their state.
The chief contest is over the United States dis
trict attorneyship. Mr.. Washburns candidate
for that Office is Mr.. Eugene G. Hay, formerly
OF Indiana, who besides this advantage in the
contest enjoys the warm personal friendship
Of President Harrison. Mr.. Washburn thinks
he has chosen his candidate wisely and that he
will get the appointment.
Mr.. Davis called on the President to-day IN
the interest of his candidate for that place,
who is NJ. II. Stevenson. He had also the
names Of men for the United States marshal
ship and the internal-revenue collectorship,
whose appointment he was urging. 1t is under
stood that he was not perfectly satisfied with
the situation after the interview.
THREE PEGS FOB ONE HOLE.
Three candidates are actively engaged in
puzzling the President as to the appointment
Of internal revenue collector for the fourth
I,o%~, kof
Hawkins, White, and Young. Representative
Brewer has been working very hard for Mr.
Hawkins, but the three candidates have been
shufied over each other 80 fast that the Presi-
dent has not been able to keep his eye on any
one Of them. His idea is now to shut his eyes
and grab. The contest has been going on for
sometime, and it is regarded now as most i'm
portant that it should be settled. The Presi-
dent asked Mr.. Brewer to-day il it would not
be satisfactory If he (the President) selected
for himself any one Of the three. Mr.. Brewer
was obliged to consent to that, and it is likely
that Mr.. Young will get the appointment.
THE DUNKARDs AND OTHER CALLERS.
Before the general reception to-day the
President shook hands with one hundred and
twenty-six more Dunkards in his private Of
fee. The Dunkards in their quiet shaker way
have almost had possession Of the White House
during the past two days.
Among the other callers were: Rear Admiral
Fairfax DR.. c. F. Rand. of Batavia. N. Y; John
b. Mcclellan, of Alabama; Edward WaddiIl, IT,,
Of Virginia; o. w. Conrad, Logansport, Ind. |;
G. w. Stapleton, county clerk, Madison county,
N. Y.
