Washington, Sept. S.-Preparations are
being made at the white house for the
return of the President and his family to
Washington. The domestic force is on
duty in the living part of the mansion,
and should the President and Mrs. Cleve-
land determine to abandon their summer
retreat at Gray Gables tomorrow, they
would find everything in readiness to re-
ceiVe them either at the white house or
at their suburban home ''Woodley." All of
the members of the cabinet, excepting
Secretaries Olney and Smith, have com
pleted their summer outing and they are
on duty at their respective departments.
One of the features of Secretary Car
isles report will probably be a detailed
statement of the operations of the bond
syndicate showing the fidelity with which
they have carried out their agreement to
preserve the gold reserve. Ii is under

Postmaster General Wilson is rapidly
getting familiar with the routine of the
postal service, and he appears to enjoy
his new occupation. He is one of the most
popular members of the present admins
tratiOn, and. like Secretary Dan Lamont
never closes his door to the working news
paper men. Mr.. Wilson's twelve years

house brought him in close contact with
the newspaper men at the capital, hence
he never hesitates about giving them such
Official information as he may have at his
disposal. So many of the public
officials lack wisdom and discre-

of the country than any other branch Of
the government, and his policy Is to raise
the efficiency of the service to the highest
practical point.

OF the cabinet, he would much prefer 10
be a member Of the House of Representa-
tiVes. As soon as West Virginia swings
