was by no means large one, nor did it seem
to be extremely hungry. The great multitude
had transferred their attention to Governor
Foraker, for in him was their only hope Of off,
cial salvation. The governor had promised to
do anything he could for them, and they took
him at his word Some few Of them loitered in
and around the executive mansion, hoping to
see the governor when he entered to call on the
President, but as the hours rolled by and he
did not appear they gradually forsook their
posts and sought the governor elsewhere. How
the President will act upon the recommends
tons which the governor may make is of
course, subject for discussion at present. but it
is certain that the President owes Mr. Foraker
something in return for his services in keeping
the great Buckeye crowd away from him to-
day.
THE KANSAS SENATORS.
The only Senators who entered the library
to-day were Kansans-Ingalls and Plumb. There
was time, about two months ago, when
Kansas wanted the earth, and expected the ad-
mlnlstration to hand 1t over at once. Since
then their desires have moderated somewhat,
and they are now willing to compromise on
anything they can get. There are still Q few
places on which they cast their longing eyes,
and 1t is more than probable that they will get
their respective minds and come to one con-
clusion then they either succeed or dust
something.
MINISTER RYAN
called. too, after his friends the Senators, had
departed. He leaves for Mexico tomorrow,
and while there he will have numerous oppor-
tunities for making comparisons between the
House of Representatives in action and bull
fight. Mr.. Ryan is a good Judge Of cattle, and
when he bets on the bull it will be well for the
matadors and toreados to climb the fence.
NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY
were represented by Congressman Baker and
Buchanan. The former has good deal of
work on his hands, the general impression
around town being that about two-thirds Of the
republicans in the thirtieth New York district
are after something with salary attached
thereto.
TENNESSEE PRoTECTIoNIsr.
Representative Evans, Of the Chattanooga
district, brought with him an elderly gentle
man who has been a very active thorn in the
side Of the southern democracy-Col. A. S.
Collier. The colonel is protectionist of the
most pronounced type, and his visit to the
President with republican escort is really a
very significant affair.
The colonel owned the Nashville American
and let it 60 to push the Nashville Union into
existence. 1t did not take him long to squeeze
the proprietors Of the American and in a little
while the two papers were consolidated. At all
times and in all places has the colonel
advocated protection for American industries.
He has made a very respectable fortune out of
iron, coal and railroad operations and wants
nothing for himself. His advice is being
taken by this administration, although the COL
onsl still thinks he is something Of a
democrat Just now he is believed to
be figuring on grand combination Of
protection democrats and republicans in the
south, but more strongly-founded rumors say
that he is on the eve of heading big process
sion OF democrats who don't want free trade
The procession will march right into the repub-
hcan camp.
Mr.. CANNON WANTS FEW MORE.
'Many shall call, said Representative Cam
non to STAR reporter, just as he was coming
out of the library, "but few are chosen"

noisian, sis not Scripturally correct but il
comes very close to describing the present con-
dition of affairs. l have no ground for COM
ofice-seekers in my district. and take it alto
gether they are not faring SO badly. want a
few places yet before l take a rest"
GEN. MAHoNE's POINTER.
Gen. Malone, sheltered by salmon-tinted
SLOUGH hat and suit of black and shod in a
new pair of Oxford tie shoes, with a superiuity
of extra broad laces was with the President
for about twenty minutes.
Don't know anything" said he to STAH
reporter when he came out, "unless it is that
Swift will surely win to-day. That's a straight
tip, and If you are anything Of sport you'll
follow my pointer"
TRIO OF INTERESTED KEyTUCKIANs
buzzed the President for while. All three
are hopeful and each is supporting the Others
in their endeavors to secure what each is after
Augustus E. Wilson would rest easy tonight
if he was only in undisputed possession
of commission as United States district at.
torney for the district of Kentucky. Albert
Scott has a longing for appointment
as collector of internal revenue for
the Louisville district; the salary is salts
factory and the man who controls the patron
age will have 225 nice places to give away
to his friends. VIM. E. Riley was the third
member of the little band of patriots and he
only wants the post-offce at Louisville.
Each scratched the others back SO to speak
and the result was very pleasant session of
a Kentucky mutual admiration society, with the
President an interested and amused spectator.
They came away promiseless, but full of hope.
1t Is presumed that il any one of the three
turns out to be a winner that he will take care
of the others.

Wilson, La Toilette, ]. d. Taylor, Judge Sco-
field and Judge Weldon, of the Court of Claims;

only that and nothing more.
THE CABINET MEETING.
The cabinet met at $780, and there was only
one misunderstanding Window. He has
not been well since he returned from
the New York centennial and to-day
felt unable to sit at the council board. Sccre-
tary Blaine walked upstairs as brislly as he
ever did. and in response to the inquiry of a
STAR reporter said: "Oh. I'm well. | had
a slight attack of rheumatism; nothing more.
You can always hear any quantity of rumors
about my alleged ill-health. I'm all right"
