CLEVELAND LEAVES,
Says He Needs Rest-Interest tin
-4 Domestic Event ExDected.

Says He Needs Rest-Interes ting
@ Domestic Event Expected.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 1.-THE
president has returned to Gray Gables.
after spending a week in Washington.
Before leaving he made the following
statement for publication:
My absence from the capital at this
time may excite some surprise in view
of the intense interest on the subject
now awaiting the determination of con-
greSS. Though my views and recon-
mendatiOnS have already been officially
submitted to that body, and though L
am by no means certain that | could
further aid in bringing about the result
which seems so necessary, it would be
great satisfaction to me if | could re-
main at the scene of action. But
whether L am here or elsewhere shall
look with hope and confidence to the
action of those upon whom the RESPONSE
bility now rests of relieving our people
from their present dangers and diff
cultIes.
Il am going back to my summer
home at the seashore because am not
sufficiently rested from the strain to
which have been subjected since the
4th of March to fit me to again
assume the duties and laborS which
await me here. | have been counseled
by those whose advice | cannot disre-
gard that the further rest contemplate
is absolutely necessary to my health
and strength. 1 shall remain away dur
ing the month of August and shall de-
vote myself to rest and outdoor recrea-
ton.
MY days doings will be devoid of
interest TO the public. and | shall be.
exceedingly pleased if | can be free
from the attentions of newspaper cor
respondents"
The. Washington correspondent of
the New York Herald teIegraphs
A wild report is being circulated in
Washington tonight to the effect that
Mr.. Cleveland will leave the city to-
MORROW and 60 to Buzzard'S Bay be-
cause he feels that he is beaten i'm his
effort to secure the repeal of the pur-
chase clause of the Sherman act. The
silver men are radiant with joy, and de-
clare that the president has abandoned
his post and surrendered the leadership
which he assumed in his message. The
simple truth is that domestic event in
Mr.. CIeveland'S family will require him
to be at the side of his wife within
seven days, and it is scarcely decent
politics to drag such a delicate matter
into a rough-and-tumble political fight.
1Ihe president stands by his message,
aDd expects to win in his struggle to
give the country relief and save it from
general impending ruin. Nothing could
induce him to leave Washington at such
a supreme crisis but an event touching
his tenderest and most sacred personal
responsibilities.
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1893-08-12

NEW YORK, Aug. IL President
Cleveland. accompanied by Secretary
Lamont, arrived at the depot of the
Pennsylvania railroad in Jersey City Oh
the Richmond q DanvIlle express at
1912 O'clock. Mr.. Cleveland and Sec
retary Lamont were driven to the Vic
tOria hotel. After lunch at the Vic
tOria the president and Col. Lamont
entered carriage and were driven to
DR.. Bryant's house. There cOnsulta-
tion was held. DR.. Bryant was of the
opinion that the presidents trip to
Washington had the effect Of staving
the progress back to health he was
making at the seashore. The president
complained that his weight had not
been reduced materially, and he SUI
fered from sUperfuOus avoirdupoIs.
DR.. Bryant packed up a pOrtmanteau
and entered the carriage with the presi-
dent. Col. Lamont advised that to ali
inquiries respecting the presidents
health the assurance should be given
that he never felt better i'll his life.
This programme was carried out to the
letter. Col. Lamont entered another
carriage and the party drove back to the
Victoria. AT $3.50 o'clock they started
for the boat. Col. Lamont did not ac--
company them. The carriage was
driven very slowly, and did not reach
the Fall River line dock, at the foot ef
Barclay street, until nearly 5 O'Clock.
The carriage was driven out on the
dock to the gahgplank of the
Puritan. DIR. Bryant alighted, fol-
lowed by the president. His step
was not so elastic as when he came
from Buzzard's Bay last week. He
walked slowly. carrying light over
coat OH his arm. His eyes looked heavy.
They stood for moment at the foot of
the:grand staircase. The purser stepped
forward and led the way to the cabin to
be occupied by the president. 1t is
known as the "president's room," being
the room usually occupied by the presi-
dent of the steamboat line. 1t is sit
uated on the hurricane deck under the
pit of the house. DR.. Bryant then came
out and said: "Mr. Cleveland is in per-
feet health; feels first-class; tip-top."
rs it not strange, doctor. that the
president should leave the seat of gov
eminent while congress is engaged with
legislation of yitallyi important char
acter?n
DR.. Bryant said he was hot prepared
to criticise the president.
Perhaps a domestic event requires
his. presence" was suggested.
lit would be unprofessional on my
part to speak of the matter"
a colored porter who waited on the
president said when he left the state
room just before the boats departure
that the president was undressing to go
to bed. Dir. Bryant, when questioned
about it, was very reticent. He finally
said: 1.-The president is only lying
down. If he feels better he will get up
to dinner at7:30 o'ciock.P' ...
The impression prevailed on the Puri-
tan that the presidents condition was
far from we'll.

Neal was gentleman, and that consid-
ering the prominent part he had taken
in the Chicago convention, it was but
right and logical that he should receive
the nomination.
"Mr. NeaFs nomination." he con-
tinued, ''meant that there will be no
straddling of the tariff question. The
battle will be square, open, clearly
defined one between the party that has
declared for stand by protective tar
iff and party that demands tariff for
revenue only"

New YORK, Aug. 11.-Gen. B. F.
Tracy, ex-secretary of the navy, was
asked today to tell what. in his opinion,
was the cabSe 'of the present finap-
cial situation. He said the question
was too comprehensive to answer off
hand, but that he might. after due re-
He consented to talk of the currency
famine. He said: "The administra-
ton has ample power to relieve the cur
rency famine in forty-eight hours by
exercising authority with which it is
clothed by statute"
.'How may this be done?''
''The act of July IA, 1890, known as
the Sherman act, directs the purchase
of four and onehalt million ounces of
silver bullion monthly, and in the third
section provides that the secretary of
the treasury shall each month coin two
million ounces of silver bullion pur-
chased under the provisions of this act
into standard silver dollars until the
first day of July, 1891, and after that
time he shall coin of the silver bullion
purchased under the provisions of this
act as much as
May BE Necessary
to provide for the redemption of the
treasury notes herein provided for, and
any gain OF seignOrage arising from
said coinage shall be accounted for and
paid into the treasury.
"The amount Of bullion purchased
but not coined under this provision.

Special to the Globe.
WABAsHA. Minn., Aug. H. Deputy
Marshal Sheehan arrived in the city
this evening, and served papers for the
replevin of the logs held by Surveyor
General Mullen for his fees as state
scaler. The suit is brought in the
United States court. 1t is probable
that Gen. Mullen will rebond and hold
the logs. The suit grows out of the
scaling difficulty at West Newton. The
West Newton Boom company claims
that Mullen has no authority to scale
its logs, and refuses to pay the scaling
fees, and Mullen claims a lien OH all
logs scaled for his fees.
