Washington Letter,

WASHINGTON, June |, 1891.
The President was so interested in pre-
venting Secretary Blaine from unnecessari-
ly worrying himself over the business of
the State department that he sent Repre-
sentative Hit, of Illinois, close personal
friend of both himself and Mr. Blaine, to
New York to tell Mr.. Blaine that there
was nothing here which required his per-
sonal attention, and to persuade him to
take long rest before again resuming his
srduous duties, and he is much pleased at
the success which Mr.. Hit met with, and
also with the good news he brought of
Mr.. Blalnes condition. MIR. Hit told the
President that Mr.. Blaine only needed
rest to be all right, and he has promised
to take that.
Secretaries Tracy ami Proctor and Post
master General Wanamaker accompanied
the President to Philadelphia, Memorial
day. The party returned Saturday night.
Secretary Noble is expected to return to
Washington this week. The rumor dis
pensers now have it that he is to succeed
Robert Lincoln As minister to England aud
that MIR. Lincoln Is 10 have the place he
occupied III Presidents Garfield and
Arthur Caolhet>-S secretary ol war in
place of Secretary Proctor, who Is 10 sue
