The President closed yesterday what Is
| practically his second week in the posi-
| ton of Executive. He has found them
| to be weeks of hard and unremittlng toh'
as he has suddenly without warning peeh
| plunged into the work of a new Admins
| tration. Following out according TO his
voluntary pledge the policies of Presideht
Mckinley. he has found his work in a
| sense planned for him, his duties might
| In some respects be characterized as oe-
| ing of a routine nature.
| What would have been routine for Pres
| ident Mckinley has not, however. been
routine for President Roosevelt. He has
| had to acauaint himself with numerous
| details of which before he could have had
| but a general idea. He has in spite OF ali
mastered the intricacies by devoting MN
| self with his usual energy to his work.
| Today. together with Mrs. Roosevelt
and the two children, Kermit and Ethel,
! the President will attend divine service
at the Grace Reformed Church, where the
pastor, the Rev. John Schick, will preach
at IL o'clock a. m. The remainder OF the
day will be spent quietly at the White
House
| Among a number of public men who
have called at the White House recently
there has been more or less speculation
respecting the rumored resignation or
Governor Dole. Of Hawaii. Press de-
spatches from San Francisco yesterday
stated that it was thought that Governor
Dole had forwarded his resignation to
President Mckinley by two friends, who
are expected to arrive in Washington
during the coming week.
| Western callers are, as a rule. eager to
fha bir1p
garding his rumored intention to visit
the Pacific Coast. The trip, If it is made
next year, will be fully as extensive as
the cne made by President Mckinley,
although the route will be reversed. The
trip to the Coast will be made by a
Northern line and the return through the
Southern States.
The President will probably review the
parade of the District Police and Fire
Departments on November Z. Commits
sioner Macfarland, who called at the
White House yesterday, mentioned the
matter to the President, and also stated
to him that in the near future he desired
to talk over with him matters concern
ing the District government.
Among the callers yesterday were AS
sistant Secretary Hackett and Admiral
Crowninshield and Admiral O'Neil, of the
