Livingston's Hunt for Boss Bucks
Scalp-The Extra Session.
Washington, April 2s-Washington has
been somewhat excited to-day by reason
of rumOrs concerning MIR. and Mrs Cleve-
land. The return of Mrs Cleveland to
this city on a midnight train in company
with Postmaster General Bissell, Mrs.
Bissell and Private Secretary Thurber set
the tongues of the gossips going and it re-
quired but short while to work the
town into the belief that the wife of the
President was seriously i'll. AS matter
of fact there is nothing serious the mat
ter with Mrs. Cleveland Her health is
delicate just now and the explosion of
the big guns of the war fleet
in New York yesterday upset her nerves,
and like sensible woman she decided TO
get back to her home at the white house.
where she could have rest and quiet The
Presidents Slight hurt this morning gave
his wife much concern for an hour or so,
| until reassuring kilograms reached her.
Another story is that miSinfOrmation
as to Mrs. Cleveland's programme at New
York is responsible for the report that
she was i'll during the naval review YES
terday and was compelled to return to
| Washington. She came back in the best
Ofspirits and this morning was in hCrusual
| good health. 1t was her intention TO re-
| turn to the hotel after the review and
then drive to the station and take the 5
! O'Clock train for Washington. Owing to
| the pOstDOncment of the review she was
| obliged to hurry to the train without re-
turning to the hotel
THE EXTRA SESSION.
1t is not believed by congressman and
financiers to whom Mr.. Cleveland has in
timatcd his intention to call an extra
| session that congress will be asked to as
! semble before September. While the eX-
eCutiVe is known to favor the repeal of
| the Sherman act and to deplore the
monthly purchases of silver into which
that act forces the government it is not
! thought that the money situation alone
will compel him to assemble the national
legislature.
AS was stated in these dispatches last
| night the absence of the President and
his cabinet ministers has empticd the
hotels and lodging houses, and hundreds
of OffiCe-seehers have returned to their
! homes the majority of them leaving in
| very bad temper
| Hardly corporals guard of the Geor-
| gia militia remain Suddenly this morn
! ing DIR. Mark johnson of Milledgeyillc,
| who has been here nursing his postotticc
! for Chauncey Wright, boarded a vestibule
| train for Georgia. He has some fine rae
ing stock at home and anxiety for their
| proper care caused him to depart without
ceremony.
Col Tom Lyon of Gainesville still lin
| gers here and is the life of the political
! bivouac. He has written Gen A. p.
! Stewart long letter assuring him that
| he does not want the latter's place as su-
| perintendent, but that he would like to
| act as assistant superintendent of the
| Chickamauga park. The colonel says the
! improvements on the park can be finished
| altogether within a year, but the way
| things are going it viii require fully two
| years to complete them.
AFTER BOSS BUCKS SCALP.
Representative Livingston left here
with the ayOwed purpose of bearing of
Boss Bucks scalp as political trophy,
! but it is doubtful if he will succeed Much
! interest is felt in his effort, however, and
! it remains to be seen if he can sufficiently
| entangle the willy republican chief and
| compass his removal Representative
| Livingston is a shrewd politician and he
| quite understands that If he can unhorse
Boss Buck it viii give him big send off
! throughout the state.
William w Baldwin of Georgia has
! been appointed to the military academy
! at West Point. His district is not men
toned
| New pOstmasters were appointed to-day
| at Caldween, Union county; PlOwshare,
Carroll county, and at Pond Fork, Jack
son county.
The absence of the President and his
cabinet people brings all political and
! governmental business to a standstill, and
| the city is very dull.
| South Carolina and Florida, in fact no
news appertaining to those states. Louis
| Simmons Of Charleston fled an applica-
tion to-day for the place of superintendent
! of construction OF the postofice building
