NOT GOING AWAY.
Some Gossip About the President and
His Intentions.

AP A"Out the President and
HIS Intentions.
Private Secretary Thurber told q Star "a
porter this afternoon that there is no foun-
dalton for the various stories in the nsw.-
papers about the Presidents leaving the
city In few days. He said most positively
that the President had made no arrange
ments whatever to visit Gray Gables. and
that there was no good reason for the pub.
lished statement that he would spend the
Fourth OF July at that place.
According to another authority the Ptesi
dent has informed several visitors recentlv
that the delay by the Senate in voting on
the final passage Of the bill seems to him
unnecessary. and that the bill should have
been sent over to the House certainly by
the middle Of June. The recent inyesti-
cation of the sugar scandal. he believes, has
in a measure prevented prompt action, and
now that there Is every indication that the
bill will be reported to the Senate and pass
ed without further delay he thinks that the
House ways and means committee to which
the measure will be referred on reaching
the House. will appreciate the necessity of
quickly disposing Of it, and will make every
effort to secure final agreement by the con-
ference committee.
1t Is understood the President fully ex-
poets the bill to be sent to him for ap-
prevail not later than July Is, although
there are a number of Senators who believe
1t will be before the conference committee
until later In the month. There have been
no visits to the White House by any of
the managers Of the bill in the Senate for
weeks. and no member Of the ways and
means committee or prominent democrat
who will have in charge the measure on
the House side has called to consult with
the President regarding changes made by
the senate nnance committee.

Refused to Run the Trains.

CHICAGO. June 27.-When the through
Crains from Kansas City and on the Balti-
more and Ohio road arrived at the Grand
Central station, the switching crews refus-
ed to take them out to the yards. The road
crews of the trains also refused to back
their own trains out. When the engineer
OF the Kansas City train pulled into the
depot. he was asked to take his train back
to the yard by Supt. Kelley. He refused
and both he and the fireman left their cab
Supt- Kelley then boarded the engine and
took the train down the yard himself The

the road trainmen refused to do any

has thus far presented itself is a hole in

DISCHARGED EMPLOYEES
Regarding tho Printing Office Leave of
Absence Question.
Some Employees Did Not Get Any
Leave Last Year-They Ask Pay
for This Time.

A committee representing the discharged
employees of the government printing office
called at the office Of the first controller of
the treasury this morning fer the purpose
of comforting with him in regard to the
vouchers for the vacation pay of some Of
the former employees, which have been held
up. The controller was absent from the
city. but the committee saw the deputy con-
troller, Mr.. c. N. Force. and had a very
pleasant talk with him. The point in doubt
Is whether any Of the employees are entitled
to pay for more than thirty days. The
vouchers have been made out for all of
leave which remain to the credit Of the
various employees, both for 1888 and 1894.
In number Of cases the time was thirty
days or less, and in all these cases the
vouchers have been approved and the
money paid. Where the leave was for
period Of more than thirty days the
vouchers have been held up. owing, as 1t
was explained to the committee, to a doubt
as to whether the law permitted such
payment.
The committee, which consisted of VIM.
Z. Common, chairman, representing the
bookbinders; L. w. Cornwell and C. A.
Bartlett, representing the printers; ]. s.
Briggs and w. ]. Boyd. representing the
stereotypers. informed Mr.. Force that the
reason that some Of the employees did not
get all the leave that they were entitled to
In the year Of 1893 was that when they
made their application they were informed
that there was not enough money to pay
them while they were absent, or else that
they could not be spared. As a result many
OF the employees have periods Of leave due
70 them for the year of 1893, extending
from nve or six days in some cases to
twenty to twenty-five in others. Under the
circumstances 1t Is thought that they are
entitled to pay not only for the thirty days
OF the fiscal year Of 1894. but for the period
Que them In the preceding year of 49, This
seemed to be the opinion held by the Off
GERS at the printing office, for the vouchers
were made out so as to cover the entire
amount OF the leaves to which these dis
charged employees were entitled in both
years.
The deputy controller heard what the
committee had to say. and seemed to think
mat there were just grounds for their
ciaim He said that the question of the
legal right to pay for a longer vacation
time than allowed for one year was a legal
one and was now under considera ton. ON
the return of the first controller, which will
De on Saturday, he would take the matter
up and decide 1t. The committee were in
Viteo to return to see the controller, They
expect 10 call upon him on Monday next.
some days ago Congress by special act
appropriated $4,000 to pay the discha rged
employees for the leaves which were due
them at the time of the discharge ana the
payments are being made under this act.
