THE PRESIDENT AT HOME.
Ovcrrun With Callers Today at the White
House-His Family Mt Mr.. wanamal<er's.

The President and his family returned to the
city from Cresson last night at 8 o'clock in the
special car OF General Superintendent Shep-
herd of the Pennsylvania railroad. The party
went first to the White House, and after a
general survey, which disclosed the fact
that it was quite uninhabitable was driven to
the residence Of Postmaster General Wanna
maker, on ! street, where the night was spent.
This morning the President went quite early
to the Executive Mansion. where he found his
desk almost hidden under the work that has
accumulated during the past three weeks. The
callers began to pour in soon after he had
seated himself, among the first being Secretary
Noble and Solicitor General Taft.
Mrs. Harrison spent the morning al the house
inspecting the Improvements and making sug-
gestions as to matters in which she wished TO
exercise her taste.
On the trip down from Cresson Yesterday af-
ternoon the President and Mrs. Harrison en-
ertained the gentlemen who had spent the
three weeks at Cresson with them, including
the two newspaper men, Messrs Clarke aud
De Graw.
The Vice President called at about IL O'Clock.
Tho President endured the penetrating odors
OF paint for awhile, but was finally forced TO
evacunte the library aud seek refuge in the cab
met room, which has escaped the ravaGes oi the
decorators to a considerable extent. This
apartment will DC utilized the Presidents
Office until the atmosphere becomes clearer.

THE UNITED VETERANS.
Their President Says Their Declaration
Speaks for Itself.

There has been some criticism in regard to a
statement in the declaration Of principles OF
the new order of United American Veterans.
1t 1, stated that the opposition has reached
su III proportions that special meeting will be
called to consider tho advisability OF modify
ing the objectionable language. The clause
objected to reads az follows:
'We believe that men who gave patriotic SER
vice in response to duty, as they saw their duty,
deserve honorable consideration of their coun-
trymen"
The President of the organization, DR.. H. N
Howard, in talking about the matter with a
STAR reporter said:
The published statement on Tuesday of the
organization of the order Of United American
Veterans and the declaration of principles,
together with tho names of the Incorporators
and officers, was correct and complete. The
declaration of principles shows for itself
what the objects and purposes of the ORGANIZE
ton ere and comments and explanations are
entirely unnecessary. 1t is tho aim of the Or
Sanization to unite and bring together in one
body the veterans of the war, both union
and confederate. It is to be entirely
RE from political bias. The objects
OF the organization have been warmly COM
menGcd by many of our leading citizens who
fought il both armies and numerous applica-
tions for membership have already been pre-
scented by such men.
The organization cannot possibly present
any antagouism to the Grand Army OF the Re-
public or to any other body. The next regu-
lar meeting of the order will be on the first
Monday III October. There has been no call
for a special meeting"

W0AS OF SEAL HUNTERS.
Capt. Hagman Denies That He DE.
serted His Men In Bchring Sea.

SAN FnAScIsco, Sept 25.-Capt. Hagman Of
the sealing schooner e. G. White, which ar
rived yesterday from Alaska, was much dis
turbed at hearing that some of his crew who
were found adrift in Behring sea and who had
been brought here had accused him Of
deserving them. The captain stated that
the schooner caught very few seals after
leaving here last February, and when the
schooner Lewis was spoken to some time in
July and reported good sealing off Copper
Island the crew OF the White became clamor-
Gus to proceed i'll that direction. The captain
refused, as the island was under Russian juris-
dIctioD. but during the night the man at the
wheel directed the schooner toward the island.
On August four OF the boats put of for
the island. fog arose and the schooner
crulsed around all day before two OF the boats
were pickcdup. The men asked to be allowed
to go to the island and find the other
two boats. taking provisions, as the lat
ter were probably out of them. For six days
the schooner beat about the island in fog,
driftsd about becalmed, but though the cannon
was fired several times none OF the boats re-
turned and the captain finally concluded that
the men had given themselves up to the Rus
sian authorities rather than starye on the
island
tain headed the schooner for San Fran DISCO,
The missing boats on making the island were
fired on by the natives and one hunter was killed
and two wounded. The crews of two of the boats
were thrown into prison, but released on
representations of the agents OF the Alaska
Commercial Company. and were sent to San
Francisco, while the crews OF the other two
boats were eventually picked up by the schooner
Hamilton Lewis and brought to this city.

PENDING DISTRICT BILLS.
MIR. Grout Makes Another Unsuccessful
Attempt TO Have Them Considered.

Mr.. Grout made vigorous effort yesterday
to obtain an evening session for the transaction
of unobjected-to District business lie asked
unanimous consent in the House yesterday that
an evening session be held a. 8 o'clock, saying
there were some twelve or thirteen Distric,
bills out of the forty on the calendar which he
thought could be disposed Of without objection.
Mr.. Anderson asked IL there was any chance
of the Atkinson bill coming up and Mr.. Grout
replied that there was not.
Mr.. Anderson then asked if the trust bill was
on the LIST.
Mr.. Grout said there was no intention OF
calling up any bills which would be objected
to. He referred TO the bill extending the time
for payment Of taxes, and that to prevent the
spread OF scarlet fever and diphtheria.
Mr.. Cannon thought such bills could be
called up AT any tine by unanimous consent
Then there followed considerable discussion,
MIR. kilgore asking that the session be limited
to 1890. and Mir. Wheeler of Alabama that tine
railroad and trust bills he considered as barred,
to both of which propositions Mr.. Grout agreed
MIR. Mcmillan suggested that the District lie
given day. bu; Mr. Anderson objected TO this.
Finally, the discussion was ended by Mr.. Iay.

THEY WANT TO BUILD VESSELS.
Four Strong Competitors After the
Contracts for tho New War Ships.

There will be al least four determined COM
petitors In the contest for the chance to build
tho three great battle ships and the swift
tfiple-screw cruiser for the navy, for which
bide are to be opened October 1.
The cost of these vessels will aggregate about
sl5,oo0, 900, and the conditions Of their con-
struction are Sufficiently favorable to induce
bids from the most active manufacturers.
1t is quite certain that bids will be received
from Cramp Of Philadelphia, Scott Of San
Francisco, the Bath Iron Works and the Ris-
don Iron Works Of San Francisco thus giving
two competitors from each coast. There
are indications to show also that the
Columbian Iron Works Of Baltimore will bid.
Gen. Hyde, tho president of the Bath Com
papy; Mr.. Cran,p Of the Phiiadelphia firm, Mr..
Schuyler, president Of the Risdon
Works, and Mr.. Irving Scott, man
ager Of the Union Iron Works,
are all in the CITY looking over the field and
making figures The fiercest fight will be be-
tween Scott and Cramp, neither Of whom loves
the other overwell and who are now engaged
in hitter rivalry in the work
already in their hands. Scott has
score to settle on account of his
defeat several months ago in the case Of the
contract for cruiser No. 6. and it is expected
that he will bid very low TO get his revenge as
we'll as the contract. It is not unlikely that the
vessels will be divided among the bidderA

HE REPRESENTS MONARCHY.
The Count Of Paris Will Fight for His
Cause With ANY Available Weapon.

FAIRS, Sept. 25.--JIst before sailing for
America the Count of Paris wrote letter to
NJ Bocher, i'll which he says: II believe that in
the midst of the difficult electoral situation
last year / realized what were the true inter-
ests of the monarchial cause. Banished by tho
republic. / take up in order such weapons as it
furnishes me with. and do not regret having
made use OF these to create division among the
republicans. Their perturbations before the
elections, their vindictive behavior afterward
give US some idea as to what the result would
have been had we carried the day. Being the
representative of monarchy am to lose no
opportunity OF insuring It's victory. My desire
MAS to allow the nation to give voice to its own
wishes. never had any other object and
have never desired 10 owe anything otherwise
than TO my country. l now wish to
request my friends not to waste time in
determinations. wish them boldly to assert
their confidence in the principles OF monarchy
and 30 unite among themselves in order to
keep up the struggle. They will not be worthy
o confidence OF France unless they have
confidence In themselves, IN their cause and
in God"
The monarchis.s journals express their ap-
prevail of the letter. The republican papers
on the other hand condemn IN the strongest
terms the counts action. They accuse hun Of
admitting dishonorable compromises and ac-
knowiedyinS that he was preparing to sacrifice
the country to his own hatred and ambition.
