KEPT BUSY SHAKING HANDS.
Ex-Secretary Bliss Visits the Interior
Depar tment.

Ex-Secretary Bliss paid a visit to the In
terior Department this morning. He called
to pay his respects to the Secretary. News
of his arrival at the department spread
quickly throughout the building, and soon
the halls were swarming with bureau
chiefs and clerks anxious to renew the old
ties of friendship and wish their former
chief success. For two hours Mr. Bliss was
kept busy shaking hands. He remembered
he names of all who called and had a
pleasant word for each.
The reception was entirely informal, and
the spontaneous turning out of the clerks
was a sincere tribute to the affection in
which Mr.. Bliss is held. He was greatly
surprised, and the compliment was highly
appreciated. During his brief stay he Wis
tied several of the rooms, and had quite a
nat with Assistant Secretary Ryan. Since
leaving the department, Mr.. Bliss said his
health had improved wonderfully, and he
was taking life easy. He was enthusiastic
over the reception accorded Admiral Dewey
by Washington and said it surpassed any
thing the city ever did.
