WASHINGTON. ID. O., April q.
More than dozen republican senators
were at the white house to-day TO say good
bye to the president, and quite as many re-
publican members of the house. They are
going home to get rest and freedom from the
office seekers. BY the end of the week there
Will not be fifty republican members Of con-
gress here, and probably not more than half
that number. Some of them are getting
ready to go abroad, while others are on COM
IN ittees which are to junket over the coun.
try for investigation purposes. All of the
old men IN congress are heartily tired of
their public work. They have been in Wash
ington almost continually since November, a
year ago, and their duties have been of the
most exacting character. The republicans
have, in the parance of the street, had "a
roast of it" from the first to the last. The
demands of the Office seekers have not been
much more exhaustipg than those of their
congressional 6uties and campaign work
Most of the republicans are leaving here to
return from time to time during the sum
mer, and fully expect congress to be called
in extra session in October. All of the can
didates for the speakership of the Fifty first
congress say there will be an extra session of
congress in October.
REoRGANIzING.
Commencing next Monday, the cabinet
officers will begin vigorous work for the re-
organization of their executive departments.
They intend to have changes made first in
the higher offices, and then completely reor-
ganize the minor forces. The collectors of
internal and import taxes are TO be rec
omended for appointment by Secretary
Window, while the interior and postofice
departments are to produce recommends
tions for special agents to be appointed at
once. The attorney general intends to have
a new complement of special agents in the
field before the next session of the federal
court begins
WANT TO FILL THE PENS.
There are probably two hundred southern
republicans in Washington making the most
ardent efforts possible for changes in the
federal offices, in their sections: They do
not especially demand that the democratic
postmasters shall be turned out, except in
instances where they have taken an offens-
i've part in elections, but they are laying
siege upon the attorney general and ask that
judges, district attorneys, marshals and
special agents be changed au once. They
say that il these offices are put into the hands
of republicans before the next session of the
federal courts begins the pc nitentaries will
be filled with scoundrels who have inter-
fered with the freedom of the ballot and
who have been counting republicans out of
office for years. Attorney General Miller
says that he will lay the proposition before
the cabinet for instructions
~
Mrs. Harrison was greatly disappointed to-
day because she could not go south with her
daughter, Mrs. Mckee, and ex-senator
Henry G. Davis and family of West Vir-
ginia. She was said to be sufficiently re-
covered from her recent illness to get away,
but when this morning dawned she was ad-
vised not to attemptthe trip. Mrs. Harrison
is suffering from sewer gas poisoning and
general exhaustion. 1t was not until Mr..
and Mrs. Mckee were on the point of leav-
ing the executive mansion that she abandoned
her trip. Baby McKee, who has also been
under the weather for some time, remained
at home. He was permitted to see his papa
and mamma off at the railway station, but
he returned to his nursery and toys at the
white house, where he appears to enjoy him
self. 1t is likely that the President and Mrs.
Harrison will go out of the city for two or
three.days at the end of this week, probably
to some point on the coast to spend quiet
Sunday ana get change of air, water and
scenery. This they may do frequently every
week or two till they leave for their summer
iaunt. The white house plumbing is under
going repairs, and there will be better
atmosphere around the place soon.
