About Removing tho Presidents business

New York Who Arc Eager for once.
WASHINGTON. April 22.-The President has
passed n comparatively easy day. so far us
onlce-seekers are concerned. Several times
during the hours for business callers he was
quito alone in his Office. Nearly all OF the
congressman have LEFT the city, some going TO
their homes. and others to Fort Monroe and
New York to witness the naval review.
The Tennessee delegation appears TO linger
faithfully and persistently around the White
House. but they are not receiving much en-
couraging from the President.
Thoy do not approach the White House in
groups. but como single file. Senator Bate
has a few requests no would like the Prcsl-
dent to grant before starting for Ills Tennessee
home. but the President has announced that
he will make no appointments until after liz
returns from Chicago. Besides Senator Bate.
Repre- sentntives Patterson. Enloe. and Catch
ings OF the Tennessee delegation saw the
President to-day. but all OF them acknowl-
edged as they went away that their missions
were fruitless.
Senator Butler OF South Carolina also called
to Introduce MIR. BENJAMIN Perry. who wan;stp
be Collector OF Internal Revenue for the Pal.
metto State. Nj. Perry Is strongly urged by
Senator Butler and other mcmbers OF the con.
sentative element in that state. but he Is Bit
tcrly opposed by the Tillnnn wins OF the party.
He Is ono OF the four men whom Gov. Tillman
has "blacklisted." and requested the rresi-
dent not to recognize with n Federal appoint
mont. South Carolina Is in the same category
with several other States. where there are
contending factions. The President hesttntes
to decide which faction no will recognize until
no has ample opportunity TO examine both
sides " tho controversy.
Representative Oates Of Alabama had n long
talk with the President relative to tho Federal
appointments in that state. tut the President
is not disposed to tako any action thereon.
1t is said that while tho President aud Mrs.
Cleveland are AWAY from the White House this
summer n complete change in the executive
mansion may take place. It has been sug-
Cested thatthe President transfer his business
Office from the White House to apartments in
the War Department formerly occupied 10y tho
Secretary OF War. There arc several beauti-
fully appointed rooms in the north wing OF
that building which might be fitted up for
the occupancy OF the President during
his working hours. The matter has
been suggested. and It is now said to
DO under consideration by the President. lie
