probably see very little OF President Cleveland
between now and Monday. Dec. 4. when Con-
Rress meets in regular session. Most OF the
intervening time will be spent at Woodley In
the preparation OF his annual message. He

OF the White House. where he had an inter-
view with Chairman Wilson OF the House Ways

better at Woodley than In the executive office.
for though many Senators and representa-
tives have left the city. enough remain behind
to make the pressure upon him for appoint
ments still unified something to be avoided
as far as possible. Those appointments. as
fast as decided upon. will be given out from
the White House on certain days In the week.
