AN OUTBREAK
At the White House, This Time
Of Measles.
Little Esther Cleveland Has the
Ailment.
TAKEN TO WOODLEY,
Together With Mrs. Cleveland
and the Other Children.
VIII Remain Until the Disease
Runs Its Course.
TAKEN TO WOODLEY

Washington, April THE meeting Of
the cabinet was today postponed with
out date owing to the sudden appear
ance of the measles in the presidents
household, little Esther Cleveland be
ing stricken with it.
This infantile disease has been almost
epidemic in Washington for some time
past, and all precautions have not
aVailed to prevent its spread every
where. Private Secretary Thurber's
children have all had the disease in
regular course, and to prevent the
possibility of its transmission to the
White House, Mr. Thurber has absent
ed himself from his own dOmicile for
the past week and has made his res
idence at the White House.
However, this sacrifice was of no
avail for this morning the eruption
suddenly appeared on little Esther
Cleveland, marking her as the first
victim at the White House. To pre-
vent the spread of the disease among
the families of the cabinet officers,
word was sent by telegraph to the var
iOus departments that there would be
no meeting of the cabinet today and
then steps were taken to combat the
disease in Mr.. Cleveland's household.
orders were sent to WoOdley. the
presidents suburban residence to put
the place in shape for the immediate
reception of the family, and Mrs. Cleve-
land. accompanied by all of the child
rem left the White house to make their
run its course.
Little Esther was taken away in a
separate carriage in the hope of cOnfn-
ing the disease as much as possible
and she viii be secluded at WOOdley
from the other children. Meanwhile
the president and Mr. Thurber will re-
main at the White house until the
measles has run it's course in the fam
lily and the mistress and children are
back
One effect of the appearance of the
disease was the Immediate abandon
ment of the kindergarten which has
been so successfully operated in quar-
ters specially fitted up for the children
of the White house. The attendance
was not confined to the presidents s
children, about dozen of the smaller
children of the cabinet families and of
friends of Mrs. Cleveland being regular
attendants. The teacher Miss Beth
mann removed from the White house at
the same time that the family left
there.

CAR STRIKE A FIZZLE.
Buffalo Street Car Notormen Do Not
Favor Quitting Work

Buffalo, April IA strong attempt
was made today to induce the street
car motormen and conductors on all
the lines to refuse to take out their
cars. Committees of the strikers un-
ion went from barn to barn to call out
the men. but only those who have afil-
lated with the organization laid off
Instead. therefore. of tying up all the
lines in the city, the strikers have sue
ceede in laying off a few cars on some
east side lines The service on the
west side is not important One rea-
son why the men are reluctant TO
strike is that there is no better reason
for it than a desire or the part of the
organizers to demonstrate how strong
their union is Their demonstration is
a. fizzle so far.

Says 1IcKinIey's Friends Rely on Fic-
titious Figures-Booms Allison.

New York, April flames S. Clark
son of Iowa, who is at the Fifth Ave
nue. hotel said last night that the
claims of the Mckinley boomers were
greatly exaggerated. He said that
when the Republican convention met
there would be from $50 to $50 dele
gates against Mckinley.
THE Mckinley men" he said
claim eight delegates in South Carroll
ma. where they have none all of
Georgia where they have only four
nine in Louisiana, where they possibly
have one, and fourteen in Texas, where
they may possibly have six. Tt1c same
false claims are made in half dozen
other states"
Mr.. Clarkson said that majority
Of the national committee was-opposed
to Mckinley because they We're practi-
cal men and not led away by an ideal.
Mckinley is idolized because his
name stands for protection but no pop
ular idol from Clay to Blaine had ever
been elected.
"The hope of the Republican part.-
is in carrying New York state" he
added. "It is easy enough to set q can
didate who can do that, but not so easy
to get a man who can also carry the
silver states Allison is the man who
can do both"
