WHITE HOUSE IMPROVEMENTS.
Colonel bingham Considering Plans
for Contemplated Changes.

The recent act of Congress -appropria.-
ing 100000 for the preliminary expenses
of remodeing the White House has Gre
hundreds of people who regularly visit the
Executive Mansion. Il has been believed
for years that the place should be altered
and enlarge to suitable dimensions, as
the home Of the nations Executive,
but there has always been some delay or
other which has prevented decisive action.
Now with good-sized sum at hand for
planning the work, active steps will soon
be taken.
The present structure combines the bust
ness office for the President, his official
residence his private home, and show
place for visitors as well. Any one of
those functions it might serve singly very
well, but the people who are most familiar
with the White House declare that to use
it for all is to make 1t unIt for any.
Colonel Bingham, the Superintendent Of
Public Buildings and Grounds, who has the
place directly in charge. Is giving con-
siderable attention to the plans for re-
modelling the stately old mansion. One
idea which seems to meet with approval
calls for extensions at both the east and
the west end Of the building. The con-
servatories which now lie to the west,
will be moved south.
Remarkable as 1t may appear, the Presi-
dent of the United States and his family
have but six private living rooms az their
disposal outside of the parlors and the
dining-rooms on the ground floor. The
lack Of a state diningroom is most keen
ly felt. Whenever a party of any size is
entertained It is necessary to utilize the
main co-r' ,o- OF the parlors for spreading
the tables.
The business Offices of the President in
the east wing of the second story are even
more cramped for space. The Presi
dent has at his disposal but one small Of
flee for conducting the affairs of the IA
ton and that is of necessity used for the
Cabinet room as we'll. The executive staff.
including secretaries, clerks, and telegra-
pliers, numbers twenty men. and all of
them are crowded into five rooms. Next
in Importance to the requirements of the
President is the demand for suitable rooms
for the private secretary
Mr.. Cortelyou. who deals with hundreds
of people daily in lieu of his chief, has not
sc much as an Office of his own. save the
large room where the general clerical work
is transacted. 1t is impossible for him to
see the President without running CANT
let of Writers.
There have been stories going the rounds
of late to the effect that the President NAV
engage in the building of big hotel at
Canton. They probably originated in the
fact that he is interested in a large block
of ground in the heart of Canton which n
syndicate has been considering as a lite
for a new hostelry. 1t is not impossible
that Mr.. Mckinley may take hand in the
enterprise.
