WASHINGTON. August lo.-Presidsnt
Cleveland will leave Washinton to-mor-
row, probably in the afternoon. for
Buzzard's Bay, to remain until about
September l. 1t is likely that he will
be accompanied by Secretary Lamont,

Sorrento, Maine. Since the meeting OF
Congress on Monday last Mr.. Cleveland
has disposed OF large amount OF work.
and he feels that there is nothing to
keep him In Washington. Congress Is
not expected to do anything for some
time, and matters for congressional con-
sIderation can be prepared by the Pres
ident at Gray Gables as well, II not bet
ter, than in Washington. The recess
appointments are the only ones the
President will send to the Senate before
his departure.

A NORTHERN DEMOCRAT
Placed ON the Committee on Rules In
Place of mr.. Mcmillan.

Il
Place of mr.. MCMILLAN.
WASHINGTON, D. c., August 10.-The
announcement by Speaker Crisp OF the
Committee on Rules just before the
adjournment Of the House to-day cre-
ated considerable surprise. Up TO that
time not a single intimation had been
made OF the intention of Mr.. Crisp to
supplant Mr.. Mcmillan with Mr.. Outh-
waite, and when the change was CON-
pretended there was general inquiry,
''What does it mean?" What was the
occasion for it?"
Many were the theories pHopounded
as answers.
To areporter for the Associated Press,
Mr.. Mcmillan said he did not care to
discuss the matter-it would not be
seemly nor courteous for him TO do so.
The Speaker was charged with the duty
OF organizing the committees OF the
House, and he was not to be criticised
for his intelligent and patriotic dis
charge of that duty. There was moth
ing personal in the action, he was sure,
for there had never been the slightest
friction at any OF the meetings OF the
committee.
A friend OF Speaker Crisp said the
reason for the change in his opinion
lay in the suggestion that had been fire.
Quently made during the Fifty-second
Congress that there should be North
ern Democrat on the committee.
THAT, and that alone, accounts for
the change When the committee was
formed two years ago." he continued,
"the party has just passed through q
fierce fight for the Speakership, and IL
was deemed best TO put a repre-
sentative Of each Of the two factions on
the committee. So Mr.. Catchings was
chosen from the Crisp ranks and Mr..
McMillin from those who opposed him.
This year there was no fight OF that
kind on hand and the way was clear for
adopting the suggestion regarding a
Northern Democrat.
Mr. Cultivate was one OF Speaker
Cr!sp's supporters in the contest Of 1891.

THE situation is vastly improved.
The free coinage men in Congress have
abandoned their claim that silver can be
safely coined at the present ratio and
are willing TO accept a ratio that
comes closer to the mark. In the
light Of recent free coinage utterances
from the West, the free silver Con-
gressmen are very moderate and con-
sentative in the legislation they pro-
pose. The other side offer simply the
repeal Of the silver purchase clause Of
the sherman act, which each agree is
the first thing to be done.
