When the President looked over his callers
to-day he did not see Pennsylvania among
them, and there was only one New Yorker.
Even Senator Quay was not present. Accept
ing this indication that the appointments yes
terday had given him respite for a day
or two the President turned his attention to
representatives of other sections of the coun-
try. Two Kentucky democrats were among
them. Senator Beck came alone. The gallant
Representative McCreary was accompanied by
two young ladies from Kentucky whom
he presented to Mrs. Harrison. They were
Miss Mamie and Miss Willis Hughes, and with
them also was Judge Daniel Hughes and Judge
Kincaid. This was purely a social call. Sena-
tors Sawyer, Blair, Plumb, and Hawley called
on business Representative Farquhar was
the representative of the empire state,
and he had the talk of the patronage
all to himself, without Plat on the one hand or
Rev. DIR. Talmage on the other to interfere
Anderson and Peters, of Kansas, and Butter
worth, of Ohio, were the only other Repre-
sentatives who called. Hon. Edward McPher-

TWO OR THREE HUNDRED PEOPLE,
mostly ladies, were in the east room when
the President appeared. They had to
hurry through the Misunderstanding, for Post
master General Wanamaker's newly purchased
yacht Restless was waiting for the President at
Rich & Co.'S wharf. The President had no
time to talk about his grandfather with four
or five of the callers who
had voted for that honored gentleman

accompanied by Attorney General Miller, Sec

water, and the party expect to be back Monday
morning. They will go clear down to the bay
and do not know whether they will stop any
where or not. There are no ladies in the party.
Postmaster-General Wanamaker rendered his
yacht to the President, but asked to be excused
from going with him as he had to attend to his
Sunday school class in Philadelphia.
NOT AN APPLICANT.
Gen. Geo. B. Williams states that the publ
cation that he would probably be appointed
marshal of the District of Columbia was with
out any foundation. as he is not an applicant
for any public position.
THE TEXAS DELEGATION
that came up from the south in a
special car found and seized an oppor-
tunity to see the President last even
ing instead of this morning. which
had been agreed upon for conference. The
listened to their arguments why they wanted
him to attend the opening of the
Spring Palace" in Fort Worth, on the
Goth of this month. They handed him the
beautiful invitation and said that they wanted
him to come very much. He said he was
gratifed at their kindness and would try to
attend the exposition before it closed.
He explained, however, that he is in constant
communication with the Samoan commits
sion in Berlin and could not
very well leave Washington for
any length of time during their sessions.
Texas he said. is one of the four states of the
Union which he had not visited, and he has
always been anxious to go there.
One of the Texans remarked that if the Presi-
dent put off going for two years folks down
there might accuse him of try
ing to carry the state. The
President laughed and replied that he was not
afraid that anyone would accuse him of trying
to carry state with a democratic majority of
$4,000.
