talk with the President regarding the

the delay in taking them up was alto
pether due to the pressure Of other ousi-
ness From what the President said,

That President Cleveland Is willing to
treat with Tammany is the Inference
drawn from a visit paid 10 the White
House this morning by Lieutenant Gov
ernor Sheehan. The mere fact OF Mr..
Sheehsn's cali is not the basis for this
assumption, which became belief to
those who saw Mr.. Sheehan enter the
Presidents room, but has firm foun-
dation in the knowledge that Mr.. Cleve-
land agreed to receive the representa-
tives OF Tammany Hall next week in or
der that they might talk over politics in
New York. Mr.. Sheehan came early ana
with him was Senator Murphy. Unlike
his colleague Senator Hill, Mr.. MUIR
phv has been TO the White House more
than once since the fourth day OF
March and his visit did not have great
or significance than that he accomp pa
MED MIR. Sheehan. The two New
York people found themselves immedi-
ately ushered into Mr.. Cleyeland'S
Office. The conversation between
Messrs. Murphy and Sheehan
and Mr.. Cleveland was brief.
The conversation was not
particularly interesting except from the
fact that Tammany was interested on
one side and Tammany on the other.
Mr.. Sheehan made no concealment OF
his desire to talk over federal patronage
in New York, and the President was
equally frank in agreeing that he had
the right 70 do so. Mr.. Cleveland agreed
with Mr.. Sheehan that the present was
not a prOpitouS time for discussing this
matter. 1t was suggested and as readily
accepted that Mr.. Sheshan should come
10 see Mr.. Cleveland again some day
next week, and the interview ended. II
lasted about ten minutes.

that $500, 900 In gold was taken to-day
for export to Europe from the SUBJ
