noon tomorrow President Cleveland will
be IN Washington. Last night the Presi-
Dental party stopped az Lons Point, y. c..
and came through the Albemarle and
Chesapeake Canal to-day. At o'clock
this afternoon the Violet passed through
Giimerton Locks. She had hardly entered
the southern branch Of the Elizabeth
river, however, before she ran aground,
where she remained for nearly two hours
At 6 o'clock this evening your CORE
spondent met the presidential party six
miles below this city. The President was
standing on the upper beck beside the
pilot-house with Capt. Robley u. Evans
on one side and Secretary Gresham on
the other.
The David Il. Hill
The entire party politely raised their
hats as the correspondents tug approach
ed the lighthouse tender. But the presi-
dents curiosity seemed 70 awaken as he
read on the piot-house OF the little
steamer the name David b. Hill" That
was the name of the staunch little tug
which was commanded by Capt. G.. W
Jester. An amused smile played over the
faces Of all in the party when a bundle
OF papers were thrown aboard the Presi-
dents boat, for each of the distinguished
gentlemen then realized that the tug was
a press boat
The Violet seemed to put on more steam
and shot past the correspondents boat
in fine style. Then began an interesting
race 10 overhaul the Presidential party.
But the Violet had the start and kept it
until she reached the wharf at the buoy
yard. adjoining the navy yard.
Dir Cleveland Interviewed.
Here. while the Violet was taking on
coal, the President was interviewed by
the correspondent lie spoke freely OF
his trip, and said he had enjoyed It very
much.
How much game did you bag?" he
was asked.
Not much.' spoke mp the President.
"Oh. yes. you did" said Captain Evans,
"Why don't you give him exact figures ~
''Wel" said the President. "Iu tell
you, 1 killed exactly thirty-two ducks %
Then there are the geese and swan"

Yes. there are twenty geese and swan

he pointed with seeming pride 10 a
long row OF the lons-necked white birds,
which hung around the cabin.

"Oh. yes, have seen one or two news
papers. but DO not know everything go
Ing on was the reply.
Il suppose you have heard that the
Bland bill has passed the Houser'
Yes" That single word closed the
Presidents mouth. for just then the
Volet's lines We're cast loose. and the
President and his party LEFT for the
National Capital. where they will arrive
