ton of the various Senate commit

Hawaii's young Princess, kaiau-
lani, is now in Washington, but only
i'll friendly and social way. She
does not talk politics, but says she
has read much about Mrs. Cleveland
and wants TO meet her. She SAYS
also that she is homesick since her
arrival and wants to go home but
will not us her party will visit the
Worlds Fair and then return to
England, where she is completing
| her education.
Ex-Postmaster General Wana-
maker and party left Washington
Wednesday evening over the Rich
mond and Dauville railroad on a
tour of the United States and Next
co. The trip will cover II, 16l miles
and will traverse twenty-one States,
three territories, and one Province.
Society called Wednesday upon
the ladies of the new Cabinet who
are in the city. The receptions were
devoid of the least formality, and
those who made the round of calls
enjoyed ample opportunity to engage
in conversation with the hostesses.
Mrs. Stevenson received few per-
sonal friends in the morning, but
was not at home to callers later in
the day. She will receive on next
Wednesday after three o'clock at the
Ebbitt House.
Several important appointments
were sent to the Senate Thursday by
the President. They were: Josiah
Quincy, of Massachusetts, to be First
Assistant Secretary of State; Robert
A. Maxwell, of New York, to be
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Isaac p Gray of Indiana, to be envoy
extraordinary and minister plenipo-
tertiary Of the United States at
Mexico; Patrick A. Collins, of Massa-
chusetts, TO be consul General of the
United States at London. The APP
pointment Of Mr.. Maxwell Is thought
to have much political significance,
as he has been the avowed enemy of
the Hill faction in New York and a
Vigorous anti-snapper.
Mr.. Cleveland has been III no hur-
~ about changing the offlce-holders
in the country at large, but he has
swung the official axe quite vigorously
in his immediate neighborhood.
Nearly all the Harrison employees of
the White House have been replaced
by people of Mr.. and Mrs Cleveland's
own selection. McKlm, who was
the Harrisonian steward, has been re-
placed by Sinclair, who served in a
like capacity for the President eight
years ago. He is a bright skinned
Mulatto and very competent.
Secretary Carlisle accepted We'd
nesdaY morning the proposition of
the Clearing house of Denver Colo,
to exchange 81, 100000 of the Treas
ury notes of the issue of 1890 for
81, 100000 in gold. The example of
Denver was followed Thursday by
Chicago bankers, who offered $780,
900 in gold for United States. notes.
At the Treasury Department it is
thought that bankers in other cities
will do likewise. The Treasury has
now more than $3,000,O0O free gold,
which is likely to be increased rather
than diminished. Secretary Carlisle
has taken no steps to issue bonds,
and has not indicated what policy he
will pursue. He evidently sees that
the people will not stand any mole
Of the base swindle business.
The Senate was given great sur
prise Thursday by the Presidents
first off cial communication to that
body. 1t was the recalling of ex-
President Harrison's Hawaiian An
nexation Treaty. The Republican
Senators regard this action as in lire
with the course pursued by Mr..
Cleveland in withdrawing the Mica.
raugua treaty sent to the Senate by
Mr.. Arthur in the closing days of
his administration. Democratic Sen
ators look upon the act from a two
fold point of view, some taking the
ground that it shows Mr.. Cleveland
to he against annexation Of American
domination of any soil in the Hawa-
iian Islands, while others hold that
he will send in another treaty more
to his liking. It is understood that
the reason for the withdrawal of the
treaty by President Cleveland is
simply because he is opposed to the
treaty in its present form and he will
probably give it different shape be-
fore asking for its ratification by the
senate. 1t has been known that Mr..
Cleveland, as well as Secretary
Gresham, has been an annexationist.
A good deal of CONSERVATION was
occasioned in the ranks of the Office
seekers Thursday by the fact that it
had been officially made known that
the President had set his foot down
squarely against the idea of reap
pointing any of the former office
holders to their old places. The
announcement has also been made by
Postmaster General Bissell that no
local business men need apply for
post offices under his administration.
| He said that no present incumbents
would be removed before the expira-
ton Of their terms; that no old Off
Gals would be appointed, and that
no information would be given out
by the Department as to the time
when the present postmaster's term
} would expire. Postmasters under
Mr.. Bissell must promise to devote
their entire time to the work, and
personally keep strict office hours.
