AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Crowds Still Pressing fer the Army
Appointments.
LIST now PRACTICALLY MADE UP
President 70 Leave This Evening
on His Vacation.
THE ST. LOUIS SUBTREASURY

The Presidents last day in Washington
for several weeks was not allowed to pass
without a deluge of visitors. The army
places were again the aim of visitors The
pressure from official sources was increased
by the attendance of candidates, in many
instances accompanied by fathers or moth
ers or other relatives. The appointments
had been practically made up however,
and few changes were possible. Secretary
Alger was at the White House during the
morning, and he and the President went
over the list of appointments for the last
time. Several congressman were waiting
for the Secretary as he left the Presi-
dents room and engaged him in efforts to
have changes made in the list. These eff
forts were not successful, as the President
and Secretary Alger had agreed not to
make changes. BY personal interviews,
kilograms and letters the pressure contn-
ued until a late hour in the afternoon.
Where the President Will Stay.
Thomasville is POO miles southwest of
Savannah and twenty miles from the Flor
ida line. 1t has population of about G,0OO
people and one of the mildest and most
delightful climates to be found At this
time of year fruits and flowers are plentiful
ard vegetables are fresh and green.
There is also good fishing and hunting
and the President will have no trouble in
enjoying himself. Two lakes not far from
the town give good fishing and ducks
abound in their vicinity. Senator Hanna
has many fine horses in his stable, and the
President will no doubt often ride through
the tall pines and along the sandy roads.
The President visited Senator Hanna's
home before either had been elected TO the
positions now held by them AS governor
of Ohio and later as candidate for the
republican nomination for President the
oh faf i've tajv ht- Mr
Hanna. 1t was at Mr.. Hanna's winter home
that much of the work for Mckinley was
done in 1893. In quiet way Mr.. Hanna
summoned the leaders from all over the
south and secured their promises of sup
port for the President.
The st. Louis Subtreasury.
Representative Barthodt saw the Presi-
dent today to ask that the appointment of
subtreasurer at st. Louis be held for some
time, and the President agreed to the re-
quest. Mr.. Bartholdt and Representatives
Joy and Pierce. the only republicans in the
House from St. Louis, some time ago united
upon Gen. B. G. Farrar for subtreasureT at
st. Louis. Col. Dick Kerens, the national
committeeman, is supporting F. w.
Schaurte and his influence has been the
successful one so far in similar contests.
To Leave This Evening.
President and Mrs. Mckinley, Vice Presi
dent and Mrs Hobart and Senator and
Mrs. Hanna will leave Washington at G::D
o'clock this evening for Senator Hanna's
winter home at Thomasvile, Ga, where
the President will spend two weeks in an
endeavor to obtain a much-needed rest.
Wee President Hobart will probably re-
main as guest of Senator Hanna longer
than that.
The party VIII go in a special train over
the Atlantic Coast Line and will be ac-
compdnied by Assistant Secretary Cortel
you and Stenographer Barnes. The Presi-
dent desires that these officials shall enjoy
rest with him. They will aid the Presi-
dent in whatever work is to be done but
he hopes that he will be allowed to cast
business aside for a few days at least.
The train will reach Thomasvile tomor
row afternoon.
A number of the friends of President and
Mrs. Mckinley called at the White House
last night and today to say goodbye and
to extend best wishes for pleasant jour
ney. Among these We're all of the cabi
net officials and II. II. Kohlsaat of Chi
cago.
