President Harrison fitted into town
Friday and out again Saturday after
noon. The horde Of pop hunters scent
cd the game from sfar and made
Ichargc on the White House. There was
teeth when The hungry crowd was In
formed that the President could not be
seen, and the agony was piled on when
they discovered that this was probably
the last time President Harrison would
come TO Washington before October.
Saturday afternoon about the time that
President and Mrs. Harrison and private
Secretary Halford were starting for
Deer Park in the private car OF President
Meyer OF the b. 4 D. X. II. half . dozen
insignificant appointments were an.
n0unced.
i The President and wife are q India
lnapolis to-day for The first time since the
I. head Of the honse became our chief mag
listrate. l don't know how the old man
'lis feeling about the visit but II IL no vio-
Iiatiom OF confidence TO cay that Mrs. Hsr-
rison Is delighted, and she would be still
moro delighted IL she was there TO stay,
for she has never cessed to be homesick
/. and 10 pine Tor her quiet house IN India
nnpolis.
: The commission appointed 10 nego-
8 tiaie for the purchase OF the Cherokee
strip 10 Indian Territory has notified the
/ Interior department that nothing elso
cnn be done until their offer Of 81 rs per
acre IL submitted 10 the Cherokee annual
!. council, which meets In November.
. I am informed by one who ! think
knows, that the extra session OF Congress
. vii! be called for October 81 or %. 1t

: ready the prophecy has been made by :
well known democrat that ii the repub-
i Iicans Of the House attempt to change
: the rules so they can admit ell the con-
testants belonging to their party, II will
/. cause q continuous session 10 the 4th OF
! March, 1891, when the Fifty-frst Con-
a gress expires by limitation. That is
: probably an extreme view, but all the
a signs indicate very bitter political
4 wrangle over the rules Of the Honse.
III Commissioners Tanner reiterates that
:. the personal relations between himself
= and Secretary Noble are the pleasantest.
lie admits that there are official differ
!, ences. II would be useless TO deny il
4, when hardly day passes that the Secre-
l. ltary does not in some manner override
Tor change some decision Of the Com.
: missioner. just previous to the first OF
II July SIR. Tanner decided that Pension
:. agents might make needed increases ia
"a their clerical force in excess OF the money
y appropriated for that purpose, and that
= he would ask Congress Tor an approprin-
ltion covering The deficiency. As soon
: las the Secretary's attention WAS called
Ito this be notified the Pension agents
that their clerical forces must DO reduced
Ito correspond 10 the appropriation by
a st.oS ,saff oy
lawful 10 make deficiency BY employ
ling additional clerks. The next move
Iby the Secretary that seems &c reject
upon both The Commissioners OF Pensions
and the Commission now engaged IN in
!vestigating the re-rsting OF pensions vas
Ito order all the evidences n the re- rat
Ing Of Senator MAnderson's pension
drought 70 his Office, when be would
make a peraonal examination OF y. "
, seems very certain that unless the ofi-
lcial relations OF these Two men are soon
lchanced that one or the other will have
Ito retire 10 private life. AS il Is now
their opinions are too wide apart for
ANYTHING approaching harmony.
II the democrats throughout tho state
Iare Is enthusiastic over the ticket re-
, Nominated At Richmond last week as sr0
the Virginia democrats who frequent
|. Washington, . victory is certain this
fall.
Big Tom Reed Is booming for tho
Speakership OF the Honse, and II II Is
true, ~ clsimed now, that he is 10 be
backed by the republican national com
mittee and the administration, he can
be nut down as q certain winner. Ii the
democratic members had the selection
for q republican for Speaker i think Nc.
Kinley, OF Ohio. would be the man. He
lie staunch republican but 10 extremely
!. liberal and fair minded. So much car
= hardly be said for Reed without serious
lily stretching the truth.
An odd story has leaked ont about ~.
Is. lM. Hurley. the Indiana republican who
recently declined the position OF Third
Auditor of the Treasury. At the time
= liz was stated that he declared he nso
been rendered moro lucrative position
10y . railroad, but according to the story
now told he declined because be was
n requested 10 by President Harrison. and
1.-The reason he was asked was the discov'
Iery that the Government was now suing
q him for money claimed TO he due IRON
him when be Vas removed by Mr.. Cleve
land from the postmastership at New
ALBANY, Indiana.
Most administrations have been mor'
.ev or less influenced by . group Of mel
~ known o. . Kitchen Cabinet" but IN
- nursery has been substituted By the Pre-
~ cent one for the kitchen. and Baby Nc
- Kce IL Lord High Chancellor.
Nearly I'll OF the departments are sail
ling along under acting heads, and sp
| parently doing as well ~ II the men ID
sPeople pay for doing the work attende
Ito IT. instead OF putting 10 the time jun
keting ct the various pleasure resorts. (.
Itis said II the next House succeed
