Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, March Eff President
Cleveland has selected a church home in
Washington he gave no evidence of that
choice to-day. He did not attend divine
worship, but spent the morning quietly rest
ing from the arduUus duties of his first
week in office. Some attention was paid
matters Of pressing importance and Private
Secretary Thurber remained in the office the
better part of the day.
A little after O'Clock Mr.. and Mrs.
Cleveland went for a drive and for more
than an hour eDjoYed the beauty OF the day.
Viee-President Stevenson, accompanied by
Mrs. stevenson, attended morning service
at the New York avenue Presbyterian
church, which same they attended during
the previous Democratic administration.
This has been quiet Sunday among the
officials and politicians. The Californians
are about ali out Of town. Senator White,
Congressman Mcguire and Geary and Pol
itician Dwyer will return tomorrow
morning.
There are lots Of candidates after General
Rosecrans' place. Register of the Treasury.
1t is understood that he desires 10 hold on,
and has written a letter tnat he will return
here by April l. The general belief Is that
RosecranS must give up his position, be-
cause of Cieveland's decision not to appoint
any men who have served under former
Democratic administrations. General Rose
Grams IS a hold-over but his case Is identical
with that of Colonel DENLY, Minister 10
China, who will be recalled. 1t will not
work great hardship to General Resecrans
if he is relieved. for lie draws a salary as a
retired army officer.

the reception of nominations from the
President Within a day or two following,
however, committees will be appointed and
the body will be in thorough working order,
so far as the business for which it is called
together is concerned. The members of the
Committee on Privileges and Elections are
already devoting their attention to the study
of pTecedenis and law affecting such ap-
p0intments as the Senators from Wyoming
Montana and Washington. received from the
Governors of those States, and will doubt
less be ready to make reports soon after the
credentials are taken up. As the points in
yoiVed are many, and the question itself
complex, it is eX pected that a debate will
ensue in the Senate upon the presentation of
tie report of the committee that may occupy
several weeks
The Treasury Department has been Off
cially advised by the Department of State
that steerage traffic between European
points and the United States, which was
discontinued on January l last, has been
resumed. United States Consul Gardner,
at Rotterdam, in a report to the State De-
partment, gives a detailed account of the
precautions taken there to prevent the emil
grafton Of persons affected with contagious
diseases. United States Consul Estes, at
Hamburg, submitted a report Of the pre-
cautions ne had adopted against the intro
daction OF infectious diseases into the
United States by the resumption of immi-
grafton at his port. Consul Estes also states
that all passengers coming from Russia and
Austria-Hungary are obliged to observe
the quarantine regulations for at least six
days under police surveillance before they
are permitted to 90 on board ship.
The Washington Post says: The asser-
tion that editors will not generally be
recognized by the new administration is
true. Cleveland believes that his prede-
cessor suffered through the charge of hav-
ing subsidized the press, and he does not
intend to run the same gauntlet. The de-
cision is to be made particularly applicable
to newspaper men who desire TO be post
masters.
