WASHINGTON, May Six Sena-
tors and FIVE Representatives called
on President Cleveland today be-
fore the cabinet meeting, which be-
gan at II o'clock. They obeyed the
letter of the Presidents new rule
and brought no constituents with
them. No attempts were made by
persons other than Senators and
Representatives to see the Pre.i-
dent. 1t was very quiet day, the
quietest at the White House since
March 4th, with the exception of
the period during which the Presi-
dent was absent in New York and
Chicago. One of those who saw the
President ives Representative By
mum, Of Indiana He said he was
glad that the President had taken
such decided action and believed it
would be followed by similar orders
from the various cabinet officers
He hoped it would. The rush for
Office, he said, is greater than ever
before; twice IS great as it was
during the first term of Mr.. Glove
land. It was his opinion that some
thing had to be done to stop the
rush in order to allow the Presi-
dent to attend to public business.
Secretary Herbert has authori-
zed the statement that be will de-
cline to extend the leave of absence
of any officer of the navy who is
