MEETING OF The CABINET.
A Busy Day for the President of the
United States.

WASHINGTON. March Z. - The steady
tramp. tramp of the ofice-seekers sounded
through the White House all day. Practi-
cally there was no cessation n the line of
people who assembled the stairway leading
to the Presidents room and nearly all who
came saw Cleveland. They found him in
joval humor and he cracked jokes with old
acquantances whom he had not seen since
his departure from Washington four years
ago. While a large number of those who
saw the President are candidates for Office.
few OF them attempted to press their claims,
and Congressman with long lists of constit-
uents willing to work for Uncle Sam we're
discreet enough not TO ask for faYors but
simply pay their respects. Cleveland was
so busy receiving callers in his office that
lie did not go downstairs to see the hun
dreds OF people waiting for him in the east
room. The room became so crowded and
the crowd outside waiting admittance so
great that the east room was cleared and
line formed so the people might pass In and
out and thus have an opportunity of seeing
the apartments. Fully 5000 people went
through the White House in this disappont-
ing manner.
Cleveland received the public twice dur
ing the day, each reception lasting less than
an hour. lie shook hands with about a
thousand people, although fully 5000 passed
through the White House At 2 o'clock the
doors were closed to those not sen: on busi-
ness.
The first meeting of the President and his
Cabinet was held this afternoon, and lasted
over two hours. Prior to the assembling
Secretary Carlisle had talk with tile Presi-
dent concerning the bond question. No for
mality or ceremony was observed in opening
the meeting. The session was devoted to
the discussion OF current matters of public
Importance, including Hawaiian annexa-
ton and the financial situation. The greater
part of the time was taken up, however.
with the consideration of the question of
appointments, particularly those of the
assistants to the various Cabinet officers.
The necessity for filling these positions
without delay is taken as self-eyldent
fact. but Cleveland impressed upon his Off
cial family the necessity of going slowly in
making the selections

necessarily so. because OF the great number
Of applications and the clash of influences.
This news is backed up by an editorial,
in which it Is stated that "on the question
of civil service" Cleveland is even more
explicit than he ever has been before His
declaration that appointments to office in
stead of being rewards of personal activity
should go TO those WHOSE efficiency prom
ises fair return OF work for the compensa-
tiOn paid them" is cited as fair warning
to the "Pie Brigade" that this is going to
be a business administration and not a huge
partisan machine.
Prominence is also given TO the fact that
1.-THE President has served distinct and EN-
phatic notice that he would hammer with
his veto any free-silver bill that Congress
might pass, and there will be a crucial test
OF the administration"
Having thus interpreted the Presidential
mind upon the question of offiee-seekiug
and the establishment of gold standard.
the editorial declaration is made that tariff
reform would be indefinitely postponed.
The reasons therefor are stated as follows:
There are serious impedments 10 the
speedy realization of the fun measure of
tariff reform. The finances o: the Govern
ment are in a precarious condition to say
the least. The Harrison administration
has had to avail itself of funds always
previously held as reserved to enable it

favorable balance In its financial state
nents. Whether this was legally and prop
erly done or not, it was done as a measure
Of necessity. The question then arises, are
the revenues Of the Government now suffi-
cient TO meet the expenses imposed by Re-
publican extravaganza This question
must be settled before the precise measure
Of tariff reform that may be safely under
taken at this time can be determined
Then there IS complication arising from
the several reciprocity treaties already en-
tered into. Ii remains to be seen TO what
exien. they will reduce the revenue, and
whether the benefit to the people derived
from them is sufficient to justify the con-
tinuance or the extension Of the policy.

CAUCUS OF SENATORS.
The Democrats Discuss the Standing
of the Amounted Members.

WASHINGTON, March 7.-rhe Democratic
caucus which met In the Senate chamber
this morning was well attended. The ac-
ton taken to-day indicates that the Popu-
list Senators are to be ignored, as Senators
Kyle. PETER and Allen (Populsts) were not
invited to attend the caucus. Martin OF
Kansas, although elected by fusion of
votes, is considered Democrat, and as
such, was invited by German to attend the
caucus. He was preseut and participated
in the proceedings. Allen, it is understood,
will vote with the Democrats when it comes
to organization.
The caucus organized by re-electing Cor
man chairman and Faulkner secretary.
The session lasted four hours. the only
actual business transacted being TO author
ize the chairman to appoint a committee to
devise plan for reorganization and report
to tue caucus upon the call of the chairman.

NEW YORK, March 7.-Under Washing

Senator Hill on the silver question. The
Senator was asked if the speeches in the
British House of Commons Tuesday last
had altered any of the views expressed in
his recent speech in the Senate Oh the gold
and silver question.

l am sincerely obliged to Mr.. Gladstone FOR
so promptly confirming and sharpening the
point of my argument for the repeal OF the

expressions of Gladstone, but they come
fresh and convincing to back up the demon
stration of the futIity of the conference

and unconditional repeal of the Sherman
law, which blocks our return to a free BIZ

fire. l say Bengal fire because the repeal
OF the Sherman law by the United States
will make the gold and silver question for
Great Britain a question of peace if not the
