has been issued by the President for pub
lication:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, MAY s. 1898.
THAT the rules heretofore promuls gated
regulating interviews with the President
have wholly failed in operation has be-
come manifest. The time which under
these rules was set apart for the reception
OF Senators and Represen tatiyes has been
almost entirely spent in listening to appli-
cations for Office. which have been bewi-
dering in volume, perpIexing and exhaust
ing in iteration and impossible Of remenl-
brance. Due regard for public duty,
which must be neglected If the pres
ent conditions continue, and OBJ
serrance of the limitation placed upon
human endurance oGlige me TO de-
cline from and after this date all
personal interviews with those seeking
appointments to Office, except as l. on my
own motion, may especially invite them.
The same considerations make it impossi-
Die for Inc to receive those who merely
wish to pay their respects. except on the
days and during the hours especially desig-
mated for that purpose.
Il earnestly request Senators and Repre-
sentatyes to aid me in securing for them
uninterrupted interviews by declining to
introduce their constituents and friends
when visiting the Executive Mansion dur
ing the hours designated for their recep-
tiOn. Applicants for Office will only preju-
dice their prospects by repeated impor-
tunity and by remaining at Washington to
await results"
Colonel c. j. Murphy. representative of
the Department of Agriculture in Europe.
has returned TO this country for a few
weeks leave, and 10 enable Secretary Nor
ton to confer with him in regard TO his
work abroad and the best means for its
future prosecution. Colonel Murphy speaks
enthusiastically Of the corn propaganda in
Europe, but it is not in corn alone that
Colonel Murphy is Interested. He says:
"All the wine consumed in the northern
most countries of Europe comes from
France. Spain, Italy and certain parts Of
Germany, and no doubt for many years 10
come these people may excel us Ia the
manufacture of the high-priced wines, but
tor wines of comparatively moderate price
we can already rival the manufacturers of
Southern Europe in quality, and / ain
quite sure we can lay these wines down in
the ports of Northern Europe at cost
which will enable us 10 rival them in
prices.
considering the cheapness of ocean
TRANSPORTATION and the extraordinary ex-
celience of our fruits, such as California
and Florida oranges, prunes, figs and rais-
ms, than which no better are raised any
where than in California, | am satisfied
that we can secure a good market for
these products. also in face of the compe-
tilion of the Mediterranean countries, |
think that If the Secretary of Agriculture
were empowered to establish European
bureau for the introduction of American
agricultural products very great deal OF
good could be accomplished"
George Kennan. the Russian explorer,
has given TO the public an address from a
group Of patriotic and educated Russians

Western Europe whose name and present
domiciles are not given for good and suffi-
| cient reasons but for whose standing he
vouches, protesting IN vigorous language
| against the ratification of the Russian ex-
tradition treaty.
Secretary Carlisle yesterday decided to
| appoint q committee of three prominent
men familiar with the intricacies of the
| tariff law and Custom-house methods to
make thorough and complete investiga-
tion of the Gust siom-house, Appraisers
stores and Naval Office at the port OF New
| York
The gold reserve in the treasury is now
close to Si00,0Oo0Oo. Small offers continue,
| and there is q feeling OF confidence as to
! the outlook for the immediate future
1t is said at the State Department that
no information has been received there
| concerning the reported murder of Frank
! Mathewson, an American civil engineer,
in Chile. near Conception.
