ly. Mr.. Cleveland asked a good many
questions about Colonel j. Hampton Hoge,
and evidently thinks somebody i'm Vir-
g.uia has not treated him just right
He, however, may change his mind when
Colonel HOge has been heard and that
win Dee ample time for the people TO form
opinions. i waited nearly half an hour
Tor Mr.. Ryan who chatted with the Pres-
dent longer than anybody. except cabinet
officers, has done for weeks.
The unusual and very unexpected re-
calling, boy the President, Of Colonel j.
Hampton Hoge from San Francisco, being
ON his way To- his consulship at Annoy.
China, has been the sole topic Of the
Virginia contingency about the Capitol
to-day. andH number Of visits have been
paid TO the 6t2iGdls m The case. The
whole story. ae it comes out is this: on
Wednesday evening General Hunton came
over to- the House of Representatives and
took "a seat at the side Of Congressman
LImuuds 90 whom he impaired the in
formation that be had seen the Presi-
dent and found that he was exceedingly
dIsp.eased at the reception Of several
communications which were not AT all
complimentary to Colonel Hoge. and
which. if true Doe felt would debar him
from representing this country at the con-
sl.slip tO which DE had been appointed |
Ar Edmunds at once sent for Major |
Conrad. formerly president Of the Blacks |
burg College. and a close friend OF |
Colonel HOge. They determined 10 call !
tle following day 10 see the President |
in regard 20 the matter. not knowing that |
The President had sent telegram recall |
ing Colonel Hoge TO Washington The |
receipt or ii telegram that night COM |
PEELED Mr.. EdmundS to return 10 Virginia. |
colonel John j.. Penn. of Roanoke broth /
er-lu-law OF Colonel Hoge arrived here |
this morning and with Major Conrad |
ent 90 the state Department and in |
ql.red from Secretary Greshams pri- |
fate secretary If there were any charges |
f..d against Colonel HOge. lie referred |
them to the Consular Bureau. and there |
They were informed that no charges were |
0u ne although they admitted Colonel |
Hoges recall 20 Washington, and inti- /
mated that Secretary Gresham held some /
papers relating 90 Colonel HOge, which /
aa had not filed as yct in the Consular /
Bureau. This being cabinet day they /
were unable 90 see either Secretary Gres-
ham or the President and they will |
probably not have AN opportunity 20 see
ther of them until tomorrow, at which
time 10 is not certain that the Secretary
NN disclose the nature Of the charges.
Though Major Conrad win present a
etter from CONGRESSMAN Edmunds asking |
he Secretary 10 give him the same access
10 the papers TO which the congressman
would naturally be entitled.
