WASHINGTON, April 8.-That Presi
dent Cleveland is willing to treat with
Tammany is the Inference drawn from
! z visit paid to the White House this
morning by Lieutenant Governo,
Sheehan.
The mere fact of Mr.. Sheehan's call
Is not the basis for this assump.
J ton, which became d belief to those
who saw Mr.. Sheehan enter the
Presidents room, but has a firm
foundation in the knowledge that Mr.
Cleveland agreed to receive the repre-
sentdtives OF Tanmany Hall next week
in order that they might talk over
politics in New York Mr.. Sheehan
came carly and with him was Senator
Murphy.
Unlike his colleague, Senator Hill.
Mr.. Murphy has been to the White
House more than once since the fourt h
day Of March, and his visit did not have
greater significance than that he ac-
companied Mr.. SAechan
The two New Workers found few
people waiting to see the President
when they arrived, and they were i'm
mediately ushered into Mr. Cleveland S
office. That they were expected was
evident, but the idea that business of a
strictly confidential nature would be
discussed with the Likelihood Of a
warm argument, was not carried out
from the fact that a number of Con-
~resSmen and tn .ir constituents were
n the room.
The conversation between Mcssrs.
Murphy and Sheehan and Mr.. Cleve-
land was brief. 1t began with the
usual handshaking and commonplace
expressions, and ended IN an agree
ment that Mr.. Shethan should come
back later. The ccnves sation was
neither animated nor particularly in
teresting aside from the fact that
Tammany was represented on one side
and the administration on the other.
Mr.. Sheehan made no conceaiment of
his desire TO talk over Federal patron
age in New York, and the President
was equally frank in agreeing that he
had the right to do SO.
Mr.. Cleveland ag.te1 with Mr.. Shee-
han that the present was not propi-
tiOus for discussing this matter, and
he would prOb1 bly, have asked them to
come back tonight had he not made
arrangements t. go over to New York
this afternoon TO spend Sunday.
twas suggested, and as readily ac-
to SEE Nj. Cleveland ugaln some day
next week, and then the interview
ended. 1t lasted about ten minutes
senator Murphy and Mr.. Sheehan
made no concealment of the result of
their visit. They said Mr. Sheehan
would see the PRESIDENT next week and
talk over the situation with him. TIL
day set for the interview is Friday.
MIR. Sheehan had with him a black bag
full Of papers, which he was prepared
to present to the President.
Mr.. Cleveland's flying trip to New
York is believed by some politicians to
have reference to the distribution of
patronage in the State.

nominations to the Senate to-day:
James b. EuStiS of Louisiana to be
Ambassador Extraordinary and Pleni-
potcntiary to France.

fiscal agents OF the Navy Department
at London, England, vice Seligman
Bros.
The nomination of Mr.. Eustis, who
had already been confirmed as Minister
to France, is simply to raise the grade
of the mission to an EN- bassy to meet
the corresponding change made by the
French govGrnment in the case of it's
representative at Washington.
