HAS THE PRESIDENTS CHAIR
The chair which President McKin-
ley occupied At sessions Of the cabinet

Cortelyou Il has been the custom for
the retiring president 10 present TO
some friend the chair used by him
while presiding over the meetings Of
the cabinet President Harrison gave
his chair to Executive CLERK Crook,

most valued possessions. President
Cleveland presented his chair to his
private secretary, Daniel s. Lamont.
There is law which requires that
government property shall not BE- Civ

condemend or disposed Of at auction.

Of the president to g q away his
chair, however Secretary Cortolyou

wlieh his chief had occupied for so
long, and il was accordingly officially
CONDEMNED, put mp for sale and bought

that he should make declarations on certain
points OF policy.
The letter suggests TO Senior Palma con-

that some clauses Of the PIatt amendment are
Objectionable to the Cubans. and should pledge
himself in case an opportunity arises, to work
toward changing these in harmony with the
United States Government
With reference to the payment of the Cuban

that all claims will be thoroughly examined

BESIEGTNG APARTMENT HOUSE
CATERPILLARS FROM THE STOOP-
INSECTS STING THEM

The host Of caterDiars which has been strip
ping trees Of their foliage i'm various parts Of
the city has invaded Mount Morris Park and
is in possession not only of trees lawns. benches
and walks but seems determined To ensconce
Itself in an apartment house near by.
Two weeks ago the vanguard arrived. and
Gardener Max Volkman gathered them in.
combing the trees daily and killing the cater
pillars captured. Nothing daunted by the fate
Of their fellows, the main army came has al
ready nearly denuded the horse chestnut trees
OF their leaves. and is now AT work the
maple and elm trees, with results that make
the gardener wiring his hands I'm despair.
This is the worst caterpillar plague in nifty
years" declared Volkman yesterday. "and there
is nothing we do but kill many as we
can, and trust TO cleaning them out when they
spin themselves into cocoons Every morning
: clean them off the trunks of the trees. and
get two or three quarts from each tree, but no
matter how many we kill It seems to make no
difference in the numbers of thern."
The pests are particularly numerous on the
east side Of the park, and the benches are COW
cred with them to such extent that people
cannot use them. Moreover. the caterpillars
sting. as Mr. Volkmar and Patroran schaeffer.
of the East One-hundred a nd twenty -sixth-st.
police station. have found out. They show large
blisters on their necks where the caterpillars
have stung them.
Not content with taking possession Of the
park the invaders have determined 10 instaH
themselves in the seven story apartment house
known as the Mount Morris Apartment House.
They have stripped the elm trees in front of the
building, and have kept the four elevator boys
busy sweeping of the pavement and stoop Ihe
boys resorted TO hot water 10 stay the progress
of the invaders in vain. and have had TO ply
their brooms almost continuously TO prevent the
crawling insects from getting into the apart
ment house. They have been stung in the en-
counters and have uncomfortable blisters on
their necks
The Caterpillars are numerous and annoying
in all parks and Fairgrounds and in st. Pauls
Churchyard they so thick that the girls from
the surrounding offices no longer go there 10
spend the luncheon hour.
