SEEING THE PRESIDENT.
Not on Easy Matter to Secure an Audience
With the Chief Executive,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.--The discontin.
uance of the ri-weekly afternoon re-.
ceptions to the public is not the only
change in the white house rules since
President Cleveland's return from Gray
Gables. Heretofore there has been q
privileged class of visitors to the white
house. This class includes senators
and representatives., public officials
generally and all persons of distinction
from places outside of Washington.
Charley Loetller, who has stood at the
presidents door since the time of Grant,
knew them all and invariably allowed
them free entry. nis powers of dis
crimination are proverbial and it is
said of him that he has never in his
long career admitted to the presidents
presence any person whose position or
standing did not justify such action.
He stands at the door of the cabinet
room and no one is permitted to enter
the presidents office by that route
without his consent Heretofore he
was allowed to exercise his discretion
in the admission of callers, but now
the only persons he can admit are the
cabinet members and their compan-
ions Whereas his duty formerly was
to facilitate the entry of members of
congress. it now is to keep them out as
far MS the old route is concerned Mr..
Lewis, another usher, is assigned to
the duty of assisting him in seeing
that no one but members of the ca III
net are allowed access to the president
through the cabinet room. All other
visitors are referred to Private Secre-
tary Thurber and they must make
their business known to him before
they ear see the president. He decides
mall cases whether or not the case is
one thut calls for a personal interview
with the president and the result is
that the latter is spared the loss of
much time that otherwise might be
wasted in idle talk.
Mr.. Thurber knows the presidents
wishes in this matter and is not at all
likely to Interfere with any meeting
that might be necessary or acceptable
to the president The privileges of
members of congress are not very much
curtailcd. They can always secure an
interview with the president when it is
absolutely necessary, but it happens
that their business at the white house
can often be transacted as we'll
with Mr.. Thurher They fre-
quently think it is necessary
to see the president, but short
talk with Mr.. Thurber convinces them
that the object can be attained just as
easily by application to the head of the
department TO which it relates. There
fore. under the new regime no one out
side of the cabinet is permitted to en-.
ter the presidents office when he is
there unless he can satisfy Mr. Thur
Der that his business justiiies an audi
ence with the president. In this way
the president is kept free from bores
md able to devote more time to the
consideration of the manifold duties of
his office.

ODD FELLOWS AND ROME.
Refusal to Submit Its Ritual Knocks Out
Negotiations.

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 5.-Fears are
expressed in high Catholic circles that
the recent action of tho sovereign
grand lodge Of Odd Fellows confirming
the position of the grand sire in re-
fusing to furnish Archbishop Eatzer
with copy Of the ritual OF the order
will considerably hamper the efforts
now in progress, and which were SUBJ
stantially advanced at tho late
nrchbishops' conference in Chicago
to secure the removal of the ban of the
church from the secret fratcrnal socie-
ties that are still without it's pale. OF
these the Odd Fellows fraternity is one
of the largest, and had it shown de-
sire to cooperate with the prelates OF
the church it would have scored con-
siderable points, not only it's own in
terest, but in that of oil other societies
that are as yet unrecognized by the
church. 1t is given out that Archbishop
Katzer had no other object in re-
questing copy Of the ritual Of
the order than to decide whether
it contained anything Objectionable
from the standpoint of the denomina-
tion, and n pledge was offered that
whatever the ritual contained should
be held just rs inviolate as the conf
donce of the church itself AS the
question stands now, however, the re-
port OF the council of archbishops must
necessarily state that The Odd Fellow
fraternity rejects the proffered olive
branch. nnd this fact, it is feared, will
initiate against the other secret soci-
eties upon which The vatican would be
likely to look with favor

Latest News From New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 4.-Reports
of the heavy storm of Sunday come in
very slowly owing to prostration of the
telegraph and telephone wires. In
this vicinity the principal loss was oc
casioned by destruction of crops and
railroad property. 1t is known that
several lives We're lost at Prescott. Mr.
Mandel's family suffered some fatalities
but to what extent cannot be definitely
stated. Mrs. La France was fleeing
from falling building with u baby in
her arms when she was struck by o
falling timber and the baby dashed
against wall and killed. The mother
was killed also.
Ninety per cent of the orange cror
is ruined. When telegraphic communi
cation is improved it is thought the
amount of damage and fatalities viii
be greatly increased.

PUBLIC LAND OPENINGS.
Secretary Smith Has Had Enough 70
Awhile at Celst,.

SSS'SAs'y S''heh ''aS liaS -ISlS,b lOt
Awhile at Least.-
WAsHINGToN, Oct. 3.-Secretary IIole
Smith has had enough of public land
openings. Not that he is dissatisfied
with his recent experience. lie is con-
tident, in fnct, that under the pre-.
scribed conditions it could not have
been better done. He believes the
whole plan of throwing open these res
ervations to pell nell rush is vicious.
He believes that they can never DO
conducted without some fatalities, suf-
fering and even fraud. For instance,
one way in which it has been discov-
cred that the department was out
witted was in the bogus United States
deputy marshals who otficiated at the
last rush. The department knows
nothing about them. They were not
commissioned by the government.
The police duty of the occasion was
entirely in the hands of the army.
The pseudo marshals who browbeat
and bullied the soldiers last month
were imposters, and the department
has police out looking for them. They
will be warmly treated ii caught. There
are, however, other public lands yet TO
be opened. The next strip is n very
valuable piece near Fort Sill in Indian
Territory and belongs to the tFichitas
and Comanche tribes. This, while not
SO large as the last settled, is finerland
and will be very desirable. MIR. Smith
hopes to have it settled within the year
and settled under an entirely new and
more desirable plan.
There is being prepared by the in
terror department bill to be submit
tep tE congress to regulate all future
openings. The chief feature is the
sale of the land at public outcry. There
will be no rush. There will be no
500 ncrs Thelland will be auctioned
off in homesteads parcels of so acres
instead of 100 acres as has been here
tofore allowed, The law is to be in
keeping with the present public land
homestead laws. No one VIII be al
lowed to purchase unless entitled to
the land as an actual settler. In short
the bill viii be designed to completely
remodel the whole plan of the settle
ment of public lands and is thought to
be a panacea by those engaged in it's

this idea should be acted on,
there will certainly be another month
of the fair after it is formally closed on
October 80. The dismantling process
will require that much time before The
inner court is reached. Tracks will
have to be laid and much work done
even before the exhibits can be re

week or two. Much will remain to be
seen while this work is going on, and
many will want to see it. My idea is
to give everyone chance to enter at

MAY LOOSE HIS POSITION.
Bitter Feeling Aroused Among Engineers
AGAINST Arthur,

NASHVILLE. fem. oct. 2.-Ihere arc
indications all over the country, espe.
cially in the middle states, that gem
eral uprising against P. NJ. Arthur,
chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers is about to take place. In
fact, the bitterest fcelingis being aroused
against him, and after IS years in the
executive chair his head may be chopped
oil at the annual meeting next winter.
So far as tho Louisville and Nashville
railroad employees are concerned, some
OF them claim that Arthur and the chief
tralumen did not give them a fair deal
in the recent difference with the Louis.
vile and Nashville management. They
say that Arthur declared that the vote
against the cut was not taken according
to the provisions Of tho constitution and
that he would refuse to call out his men
In case the officials insisted on the cut.
After the members of tho general com.
mittee had held several meetings, Arthur
suggested that the matter of treating
with the officials he left solely to the
heads of the different organizations. The
request was finally granted, and the ex.
isting agreement followed, although, in
fact every engineer had voted against
accepting the cut. 1t is also alleged that
Arthur has not acted for the best in.
terests of the men on several occasions.
