WASHINGTON, April Tho President has
decided to fee from the Office seekers and
patriots who are dying to servo their coun-
try, and next week he will enjoy brief vaca-
ton by taking a trip on tho Dolphin, now
lying idle at the navy yard. The trip will
last for two or three days only. The destination
Of tho President and his party, which will in
olude q few personal friends, has not been dis
closed. This will be the first vacation Major
Mckinley has taken in almost a year. Ever
since his nomination at st. Louis he has been
Obliged to stick close to his home, and
although he has tried several times to
get o few days vacation, it has been
absolutely impossible for him to abandon work,
except for q brief trip to Cleveland and another
trip of a few days to Chicago after the cam
paign had ended. Throughout the summer. dur
ing the campaign. and even up to the time of his
departure for the White House. he stayed at Can
ton greeting the thousands who called upon him,
and delivering addresses to delegations from all
parts of the country. The trip to Washington
with his family and q party of old friends and
neighbors was the only break in the chain of en-
crossing duties and demands which have taken
up every moment of his timo since weeks before
his nomination.
His close friends ever since election have been
advising him to tako q vacation Of . week or
even two weeks, but he has steadfastly refused.
Recently they have renewed their entreaties.
and he has finally consented to 60 away next
week for q few days on the Dolphin. 1t Is not
known whether Mrs. Mckinley will accompany
tho President or not, but 1t 10 believed at the
White House that this trip, brief as it Is. will do
him q world Of good.

Tho stalled Trains ON the Western Roads Arc
Rring slowly Dug Out.

Being slowly Dug Out.
OMAHA Neb., April 1.-slowly tho big ploughs
are forcing way through the giant snow drifts
that have blocked the Western railroads for the
past forty.eight hours. The news received to-
day in Omaha was of more cheerful character
than on Wednesday, but still it was a specula-
ton when the roads would be opened again.
Mon and the p,oaghs, have beSd steadily at
work since Tuesday night. The blockaded trains
arc moving slowly. but 1t is the belief that the
roads will be opened within another twenty -four
hours.
The reports at Union Pacific headquarters
showed that the difficulty on the Wyoming
division had been removed. but the track was
still blocked with snow between Cheyenne and
Hillsdale, about fifty miles east OF Cheyenne.
The road is open between Cheyenne and Lara
night. The Burlington has opened its main line
and the stalled trains got out during the night.
The line is now open between Omaha and
Denver.
The Burlington has not yet opened its Wyo
ming division, and, to add to its troubles. a
furious snow storm began during the night and
this morning it was. showing hard. while the
blowing gale and drifting the snow across the
tracks. The Burlington has turned back it's
west-bound train at Gillett and its east-hound
train at Sheridan. leaving a bockaded gap of
100 miles between the two towns. The monster
steam ploughs have been put TO work on this
gap and n determined effort is being made to
force way through.
This Is the first time this winter that the
power ploughs have been called into requisition.
The blockaded trains, with but ono or two eXCcp-
tions carried woll-stocked dining cars, So that
the passengers have not suffered for food. Tho
