by Dr. OReilly, who went away from
Washington with him. Tee fact that Mr..
Cleveland was expected had been general
ly known and a goOd-sized crowd was at
the Pennsylvania railroad station when the
train rolled in. Private Secretary Thurber
was on hand with an open carriage from
the White House, and as the party de-
scendel from the train he escorted them
through the station. The President en-

causing no end Of anxiety.
