CLEVELAND RUNS AWAY.
He Goes to Gray Gables to Get Rid
of Malaria.

WASHINGTON, Aug 16.-President
Cleveland left Washington at 7:20 o'clock
this morning for Gray Gables. In explana-
ton of his sudden departure the following
statement was furnished by Private Secre-
tary Thurber: "The President left this
morning for few days absence on the adj
vice of his physicians. in the hope of shak-
ing off an attack of malaria from which he
has been suffering for several days. Yes
terday the attack eliminated in a fever,
but which was under control this morning.
Dr. O'Reilly, his physician, expresses no
doubt but that . few days of salt air and
rest will recuperate the President suffi-
GENTLY to enable him to renew his official
duties, and he will return to Washington
by the middle of next week He has gone
to Gray Gables, and is accompanied by DR..
OReilly. Capt. Robley d. Evans also ac-
companied the President, but it is probable
that he will stop at New York, where he
will take command of his ship, the New
York, in day or two.
Senator Berry, Representatives Cultivate
of Ohio and Turner of Georgia and several
other Congressman called at the White
House soon after o'clock and were sur

parted. The President did not take the en-
rolled copy of the tariff bill with him. but
merely an ordinary printed copy of the bill,
presumably for purposes of examination.
from the White House about noon to the
Treasury Department in the usual course
of official routine. 1t is not at all likely that
this enrolled copy will be sent to Gray Ca
bles later, and the probabilities, therefore
are all in favor of presidential action on
the tariff bill being delayed until Mr.. Cleve-
lands return 10 Washington next week
Much mystery is made at the White
House of the location of the river and
harbor appropriation BILL and even the
Congressman who were deeply interested in
the fate of the bill could not learn whether
the President had taken IL with him. The
location of the bill is Of Importance. owing
TO the fact that the ten days allowed for
its consideration expires Saturday night
and if the President did not take it with
him he could not sign ii in that time nor
is good reason TO believe, however that the
bill is now at the War Department, to
which it referred for report, and that
il will become law without the Presidents 5
approval. In neither OF his two terms has
President Cleveland approved a river and
harbor bill. although he has vetoed one.
