WASHINGTON, August 26,.lsSa
President Ibrrison fitted INTO
town Fiiday aud ont again Salut-
day aflernoe The horde of
pop-Iunters scented Tie gamo
from afar aud made a. charge on
The White House. There ms
Weeping and wailing and gnash-
ing Of teeth when the hungry
crowd was informed that the
President could not be seen,. and
Itfe agony was piled o. when
they discovered that this WINS
probably the last time President
Harrison would cometo Washing
ION before October. Saturday
afternoon about Tie time thut
President and Mrs. Harrison and
priyatu car Of President Meyer Of
the B. & O. n. II, half 4 1ozcn
insignificant appointments wcrc
announced.
The President and wife 10. to-
indianapolis tliA week for tho
first time sineo Tie head Of the
house becnmeour chef maglstretc.
dou I know how tho old man Is
fes ling about the.tiap, but II Is no
violation of coniidcucc to say that
M,s. Harrison is delighted and
she would be still aorc delighted
If she was returning TO stay, for
she has neyer ceased 20 be home-
sick and TO pine for her quiet
house ID indianapolis.
Tbs comml.sion appointed to
uagotia,c for the purchase Of the
Cherokee strip in Indian Tegrl-
tory has notified the Interior de-
parmeut that nothing else cau be
done until their offer of $l.25 per
acre Is submitted to the Cherokee
annual council when meets ~
in November.
] am informed BY one who l
Ithink knows that the extra ses-
fsion. Already the prophecy has
been made by d well known dem
oorat that if the republicans Of
the House attempt TO change The
rules so they can adanit all the
contestants belonging to their
party it viii caiise n continuous
session to The dth, Of March 1891,
when the Fifty-lirst Congress
expires by limitation. That is
probably IN extreme yIcw,. but
all The indicate d very blttar
Epo'llical wranglc over the nuIes Of
the House.
Commissioner Tanner rcltcrn'cs
that the personal lelatious be-
tween himself and Secretary
Noble are the plcasanress. He
admits that there areofiicial differ
enccs. II would be useless to
deny il when hardly a day pas.
ses that the Secretary does not ID
some manner override on change
some decision Of the Commission
er. Just previous 70 The fisl Of
1 July Nj. Tanner decided that
I Pension agents might make
needed increases ~ their clerical
force La excess OF the money
appropriated for that purpose aud
that he would ask Congress for
an appropriation covering the de-
ticiency. As soon as tile Secrc-
tary' attention was called TO this
| he notihrd The Ponsiou agents
that their clerical forces must be
reduced TO correspond 10 the ap-
|propriativn bs Congress and that
be did not consider Il lawful to
make Deficiency by employing
! additional clerks. The next move
BY the Secretary that seems to
ri fleet upon both the Commission
now engaged ~ investigating The
re-ralipg Of pensions was TO order
all the evidences in tho tc-ratlng
loS Senator Madcrsons pension
brought 10 his Office whenhe could
make personal examination OF
it. 1t seems scry certain that
unless the Official relations OF
/ these two men are soon changed
that one or the other will have to
retire p private llfe Az il Is 1ot
their opinions ale too wide apart
for anything approaching har-
Emony.
If tie democrats throughout
The state are as enthusiastic over
the ticket re-uommated al Rich
mond Fast week as are The Nir-
| g'nla democrats Who frequent
Washington, q victory i csr:aiu
this fail.
