OFF FOR GRAY GABLE&
The President VIII Take = Few Days
Rest-Attacksd by Malaria

WASHINGTON, d. c., August 10
President Cleveland left Washington
via the Pennsylvania railroad at 7:20
O'Clock this morning for Gray Gables.
In explanation OF his sudden departure
the following statement was furnished
by Private Secretary Tnur6er:
"The President eft this morning for
a few days absence, Under the advice
of his physicians, in the hope Of shaking
Oft an attack Of malaria, from which be
has been suffering for several days.
Yesterday the attack eliminated
in fever, but which was under
control this morning. DR.. O'Reilly, his
physician, expresses no doubt but that
a few days of salt air and rest and will
recuDerate the President sufficiently to
renew his official duties and he will re-
turn 70 Washington by the middle Of
next week. Hhe has gone TO Gray Ga
bles and is accompanied by Or. O'Reilly.
Capt. Robley D'Evans also accom- panied
the President, but Ii 10 probably that he
will stop At New York where he will
take command OF his ship, the New
York, In day or two"
The President took with him printed
copies OF the Tariff bill and River and
HarbOr appropriation bill, presumably
for purposes Of examination. The en-
rolled copy OF the tariff was taken 20
the Treasury Department 10 the usual
course of official routine. II is not at
all likely that this enrolled copy will be
seCt TO Gray Gables later, and the prob
abilities therefore are all In favor OF
Presidential Rctics- -op-ths Tara. hilt
being delayed until Mr.. Cleveland re-
turns to Washington next week.
Some anxiety Is felt by the appro-
preparation managers as the President
must sign the civil appropriation bill by
Monday or all civil appropriations will
stop.
ARRIVED N JERSEY CITY.
New YORK, August 16.-President
Cleveland arrived in Jersey City this
afternoon az 1:O2, and few minutes
aiterwa.d sailed for Gray Gables on the
lighthouse tender John Rogers.
The President iOurneyed from Wash
jngton in President Roberts private
car. When the train drew up at the
platform there were very few people
outside OF the passengers that were
l
coming. The policemen in charge OF
Sergeant Reddln surrounded the Pres
dent, as be stepped from the car, ac-
compauied by Captain Bob" Evans
and Dr. O'Reilly.
No person was allowed near the Pes
idenJ except the gentlemen named.
The party hastily walked 10 the
steamer awaiting, aud as soon as they
got on board the vessel moved out and
headed for the East river, en- route to
Buzzerd's Bay. DR.. O'Reilly when
asked If they were going there direct,
answered In the affirmative, but de-
clined TO say anything further, fatty
refusing 20 answer any of the numerous
questions PUT TO him by the reporters.
As the steamer moved away from the
pier, Mr.. Cleveland raised his hat in
answer 70 the salutes OF the people on
the dock.

he went away was that he would have
TO return here on Monday as it seemed
probable the Finance Committee would
by that tims be ready to report back to
the Senate the House bill ires-listing
sugar, coal, iron ere and barbed wire.
II these bills are reported back and an
effort made to pass them, Senator Cam
den wants to be here 10 vote on them
and will return. The general belief is,
however. that the bills will not be re-
ported back. That is understood TO be
the programme OF Senator German who
wants nothing more done ia the way of
tariff legislation at this session.
The unexpected generally occurs in
the Senate. To-day a resumption OF the

Mr.. Eaton pays the boys 70 cents a

them. They are shipped in little boxes
in which there are several hlOrs.
There are holes in the boxes through
which the little fellows can get air,
though Mr.. Eaton says that is not nee

but he does this through humane mo-
tives. Nothing is placed in the boxes
for them to cat. but they do not suffer
on this account, as they could go for
months without eating.

"A TACT significant but by no means
surprising is the disproportionate in

announcement that the people in
