A Letter of Gossip From the Capitalize

Especial Correspondence ]

:
WAsHINGTON, Oct. 3O-The long contest
in congress over the repeal bill robbed Pres
ident Cleveland of his autumn vacation,
greatly to the great mans disgust. Mr..
Cleveland has few amusements in Wash
ington. Society is a thing practically un-
known to him. Now and then he drives in
the suburbs, but only occasionally. He has
been forced to take some outing while max
ing his autumn residence at rs summer
cottage at Woodley, driving bacssand forth
every day. Beyond this his face is rarely
seen outside the doors of the White House
He never takes walks, as most of his pred
ecessors have been in the habit of doing.
Every day during his term President
Harrison could he seen walking about the
White House grounds or the streets in the

steps in this or any other matter. They
have a way Of their own of doing things,
and their way in this instance was not
that which the senate had followed. The
president announced that Mr.. Dubois was
present; that he had declined to vote; that
the rule had been read; that the club had
refused to excuse him and called upon the
sergeants-at-arms to do their duty.
These officers retired for moment to the
cloakroom and then returned. One held
in his hand heavy six shooting revolver
and the other keen knife and hatchet
These weapons were pointed at the head Of
the former cowboy and United States mar
shall from Idaho, and the president, rap
ping for order, solemnly inquired:
"Is the gentleman from Idaho now ready
to cast his votei"
81 am" responded Mr.. Dubois. ~ vote
aye"
And thus the club of newspaper men
vindicated their claim to possession of
greater power and dignity than the senate
of the United States.
