Upon the Government OficiaIs a,
Washington for the Past Few
Months.

Washington, August 13.-President
Mckinley today said that the mental
and physical strain of the last few
months had been severe upon him, as
upon all the officials who had borne
h weight of great responsibilities,
and now that the war was over and the
sufferings that war involves were at
an end, his feeling was n of pro-
found thankfulness.
Work in connection with the appoint
ment of commissioners to negotiate a
treaty of peace, the preparation OF
their instructions n other important
matters, he said, probably would ne
cessitate his remaining in Washing
TOT until some time in October, when
he hoped to be able to take a short
rest. The work Of the peace commits
sion might t7ccupy a month or go n
he hoped that in his next annual
thanksgiving proclamation he would
have the very great pleasure Of pro-
n%ouncing to the people the fact that
a treaty of peace had been signed.
