Didn't Know the President Had Gone.

There were just about two hundred people at
the White House to-day, and at least half Of
them were SO far behind the events of the pc
riod-so deeply buried in ignorance-as not to
know that the President had gone away to New
York to be present when the -four hundred"
and four hundred thousand others indulge in
stately celebration of the centenary OF George
Washington's Inauguration. The visitors at
the executive mansion were not office-seekers;
they know only too well that the President and
nearly all the members of his cabinet are
away. The callers are simply sight-seers, local
and foreign, and they expected to shake the
Presidents hand at the regular l-o'clock Mon
day reception. They were astonished to learn
that he had gone away. and several OF them
wanted to know why the public had not been
notified that he would be absent to-day.

no suspicion has been fastened on anyone
