The President intends 10 devote the
hours designated for the reception OF
Senators and Representatives exclusively
10 that purpose. and he requests their
co-opcration in avoiding encroachments
upon the time set apart for their benefit.
IL does seem that nothing could be
palmer. except that the President VIII

tho order given out last night. that ne
did not want TO be worried TO death by
men whose claims II was matter or

years. The Senators and Represenia-
tives have been responsible Tor the IN

The crowd that saw the President sat

rison had TO handle during the hrst
months he was President, nor larger thah
he one which first called on Mr.. CleVe-
land when he took the reins OF Govern
ment. Then the same rules held whlch
were issued when Mr. Cleveland came
in this time, and he did not shirk the
music.
This order is virtually a capitulation
of president Cleveland to Mr. Grover
cleveland. He commenced these recep-
tiors with the expressed intent OF hear
inf, correctly the needs and wants of the
rcoule. irrespective Of the Inducements
of Congressional delegations. As Presi-

that over one-fourth Of the postmasters

The place 70 which the President ap-
nointed Mr.. John Goode Saturday, COM
missioner under the treaty OF N92 with
Chilli is a good one while II lasts. Ihe
salary of the commissioner. as set by
the law creating il, Is nXcd at $o'VJO
year. but II is said the work Is not eN-
nactod 10 last over six months. This
rornuiesion one Of whose members is
TO be named by Chill, has nothing TO 10
with the Baltimore sailors affair OF last
wear. but is to settle long-standing claims
and counter-claims between the two
countries This appointment supports
what has already been written TO The
Times mat the President was most
friendly towards Mr.. Goode.
