Washington, June 1l.-With Thurs.
day passed and no important Utah ap-
pointments made, the office-seekers
are beginning TO feel very uncertain as
TO when their Washington hotel ex-
penses will cease and their anxiety be
relieved. Yet it appears, although he
does not say so. that Mr.. Brown ex-
poets something will be done before
many more days. This evenings Star
says:
Ex-Governor Thomas, ]. NJ. Stout
and c. H. Post OF Utah called upon the
president this morning, in social way,
and expressed the hope that he would
be able to make trip to Utah in July.
as contemplated. Fhe president is
anxious TO make the trip, but every
thing depends on whether congress
gets through with the tariff bill in
time
The president has had in contempla-
ton this manner of taking his summer
vacation. If he finds he can go TO the
Salt Lake Jubilee he may arrange to
spend month in the west, going to
California and other states, and taking
in Yellowstone park. 1t would be a
great trip. in which the president would
take his time. With the tariff out OF
the way, he would not care how long
he remained from Washington.
NOT EXACTLY TRUE.
This extraction, however, is an err
ror. The above-named gentlemen
called on the president to confer on the
matter of appointments, but they only
had moments meeting with him and
were not given an opportunity to un-
fold the object of their visit. They will
seek an audience with the president
again on Saturday.
To The Herald correspondent, Mr..
Thomas said that this call was merely
a social one and that nothing was said
of politics or the presidents prospective
visit to Utah.
Il don't think anyone except the
president himself knows when Utah
appointments will be reached" said
Mr.. Thomas. IF 1 knew, l could then
say how long 1 expect to remain here
Mr.. Thomas and Mr.. Stout think the
president will go to Utah and the lat

AS to the president going 10 Utah.
have already intimated that it is be-
yond all probability. 1t now comes
from good authority that he has given
up whatever contemplation he may
first have entertained in this regard
Even if congress should adjourn by
the 10th of July. which it will not likely
do, the president, from ali indications,
VIII not visit the pioneer jubilee.
BRYAN WILL COME.
Mr.. King has returned from a two
days visit with William J. Bryan, in
Virginia, and says that the latter is
looking forward with much pleasure
10 his Utah visit. Mr.. Bryan expressed
considerable interest in the work t6 be
done by the Trans Mississippi congress (
in Salt Lake City. He also stated that
he viii remain in Salt Lake after the |
work of the congress, in order TO be /
present at the semi-centennial jubilee. |
WHITTEMoRE GIVES UP.
c. o. Whittemore leaves tomorrow |
morning for Chicago. from whence, he /
says, he Will go TO Utah after attending
to some unfinished business in the /

chances for the office of district attor-
ney TO take care of themselves and
freely expresses the opinion that they
are not OF the brightest.
