Omaha daily bee., 1893-03-06

from view President Cleveland was so
nearly exhausted by these ordeals that he
went to the inaugural ball against his better
judgment, and did so only because he did
not wish to disappOint the thousands who
had set their hearts upon seeing him there
Naturally, therefore. MIR Cleveland found
himself stif and sore today He had a cold
and his voice was husky. He said that he
could feel every joint and muscle in his body,
and they seemed TO be creakng. Mrs
Cleveland also felt the effects Of the arduous
duties and terrible exposure Of yesterday.
Tho new executive slept until "a late hour,
The avenue was loud with the music of de-
parting regiments, and, despite the sabbath
day the white house grounds were noisy
with the thousands of tourists who tramped
under the pOrticO and pressed their noses
against the windows Of the mansion. The
big front door of course, bore its usual sun
day legend: CLOSED - Many hung around
the building hour after hour hoping that
perhaps the bright sunshine and the gay
appearance OF the streets would tempt the
president TO take a drive or. perhaps, TO
catch glimpse at some window Of Baby
Ruth.
The executive household brcakrastcd at 10
O'Clock, and then 1t was concluded not TO at
tend church. As a matter Of fact every
Presbyterian church in the city which may
become the personal one of the present ad
ministration was crowded today, anticipat-
ing the president.
Judge Gresham Calls on the President.
At II 80 o'clock Judge Gresham went out
from the Arlington to the white house He
was the first visitor of Importance Mr..
Cleveland had seen since he became prcsi-
dent and moreover it was the first time he
had met Judge Gresham since he was ten
dered the state portfolio. The president
and his premier talked for half an hour and
Judge Gresham accepted an invitation to re-
main to lunch, where Judge Gresham was
/ ana lal 70 Nf,.z .lDv, In lfr.,
Gresham returned to the white house ut
80 this evening presumably to discuss the
more important foreign missions and inter-
national matters VIII iCh will at once COM
mand the attention of the present admins
t1ation. The extra session of the senate win
last only long enough to receive such nOmi-
nations as the president may send in, and il
Is desirable that the more important ques-
tons shall be handled quickly in order that
the senate may diShand. The HaWdlian
treaty of annexation too is still pending be-
the senate for action.
AT o'clock Mr.. Cleveland ordered the
white house brOugham brought around to
the rear exit, where he and Mrs Cleveland
entered ten minutes after and drove out
Connecticutavenuea and around through the
northwestern part of the city, where both
the president and Mrs Cleveland gazed with
astonishment at the magnificent residences
thlt have sprung up there since they left
the white house four years ago.
