The President arrived at the Baltimore and

Sunday with Ambassador Bayard in his
beautiful home overlooking the Delaware river
Secretary Gresham and Senator White Of

returned with him and the three entered the
Presidents carriage, which WAS in waiting, and
drove to the White House. Here the President
alighted, while Secretary Gresham was driven
to the'State Department and Senator White to
his home.
The President looked very much refreshed by

probably two nights good sleep, had visibiy
benefited him He proceeded Immediately

NO VISITOR ADMITTED.
No visitors were admitted to the President 3
Office this morning, this being Monday, the day
which he reserves to himself. Two or three
Congressman wandered in during the forenoon.
30 preoccupied with affairs Of state as to mo-
mentarily forget the Monday rule, but were
forced to waste their sweetness upon the desert
air, for they proceeded no further than the
ante-room door, when forced to confess that
they did not have appointments with the ex-
ecutive and had not been specially summoned.
Mr.. c. H. Jones, editor of the St. Louis Re
public. and Mr.. Tracy. the new superintendent
Of charities for the District, called on Private
ment with the President for this evening to pay
Q friendly call
The newspaper sharpshooters were on hand
ready to bring down any stray items of news
that might show their heads above cover, Blu,
they bagged nothing better than q few gossips.
DISAPPOINTMENT AMONG THE POLITICIANS.
From them it was learned that there is con-
siderable disappointment among the politicians
because the Senate is likely to adjourn this
week. and but few nominations of local import
ance have been sent in.
To the average Senator and Representative
the local appointments-those of United States
marshals. district attorneys, internal revenue
collectors, customs officers and presidential
postmasters. for instance-are Of Importance.
1t Is true the President can appoint during the
recess of the Senate to be confirmed later but
it is feared that he will not do very much in
thisl inc.
WHY SOME APPOINTMENTS ARE WITHHELD.
There is said to be q well-defined suspicion
among many Senators that as Congress ID
likely to meet in extra session not later than
September. the President may withhold these
choice appointments in which they are vitality
interested until after the reassembling of Con-
gress, when he can see how his proposed finan.
clal measures are to be received by the Senate
In other words, they fear that the President
is keeping few clubs lying around handy fol-
use if it becomes necessary, and they don't like
the idea.
THE COURT OF APPEALS JUDGE.
1t is understood that the President has moi
yet selected his appointments to the new Court
Of Appeals. 1t may be stated, however, with q
reasonable degree of certainty that he will de.
eide upon them before the Senate adj, urns.
Representative Breckenridge Of Kentucky
called about noon, having an appointment with
the President for today of a weeks standing
He spent some time with the President talking
about Kentucky patronage.
Notwithstanding the rainy day there were q
few score visitors in the east room when the
President came down at l o'clock to hold the
usual public Monday reception.
After shaking hands with these callers the
President took recess from his labors, and
for the next hour the mansion was practically
deserted
