vitation to ivsit Quincy while on his north
western trip.
Representative Hill of Connecticut invft-
ed the President to stop at ,Norwalk, Conn,
when he goes to New England in August,
and attend the 250t h anniversary of the
First Congregational Church of that city.
Representative Long of Kansas gave the

The President promised Senator Elklns
that he would stop in West Virginia either
going or returning from his northwestern
tour and make q speech two in that
state. The place to, be selected and the
date will be arranged with Secretary Cor
telyou later on. The President had cor
dial talk with Senator Elkins. who assured
him that West Virginia would elect five
republicans to the House this fall. Senator
Elkins said his invitation to the President
was extended on behalf of the people of the
state, who held the President in high es-
TEEN, and would consider his stopping
there as a great honor Talking politically
Senator Elkins told the President that the
failure of the Senate to act on the Cuban

lican vote in that state in the least.
Will Take That Bear Hunt.
The President has not forgotten that he
promised to take part in a bear hunt in
Mississippi this fall and referred to his ac-
ceptance of an invitation when A. E. Ran
die of this city called on him about a local
bill today. Mr.. Rande saw the President
regarding the bill for the extension of the
time for the construction of the street rail-
way to East Washington Heights. The
President signed the bill. The President
has not fixed upon date to go to Missis
sippi, but the time will be in October or No
Vember
Senator Hanna's Status.
If there ever was any disturbance Of the
friendly relations between the President
and Senator Hanna 1t has disappeared, and
the Ohio senator is as warmly received at
the White House as in the days of Presi-
dent Mckinley. He was with the President
today, and gave every manifestation of
satisfactory talk when he went away. Sen
ator Foraker, who also stands mighty well
with the President, was caller.
Will Not Reappoint Ohio Man.
The President. will not, it is understood,
give a recess appointment to j. w Jones,
pension agent at Columbus. The nomna-
tion of Jones was sent to the Senate some
time ago, but its confirmation was blocked
by Senator Hanna and the President will
not undertake to continue Mr.. Jones in
office. 1t is believed this was settled upon
today. The President Is, in fact, taking the
appointments to persons whose nominations
were not acted upon in the Senate. The
list includes several interesting cases.
Among them is that of George R. Koester,
collector Of internal revenue of South Caro-
lima. Mr.. Koester's nomination went to the
Senate at the beginning of the session.
South Carolina negroes and others through
out the country made hight on him be-
cause he was charged with attending and
indirectly taking part In the lynching of
three negroes In South Carolina, being pres
ent as newspaper reporter. Republican
leaders in the Senate took the view that to
confirm the nomination would be politically
injudicious, although they saw no real JUS
tice in the charges against 7koester. So his
nomination dragged along without action
and remains in that state today: The Pres
when he has time will cast. about for man
to succeed him.
Politics in North Dakota.
Among the congressional contingent going
away from the city tonight is Senator Nc
Cumber of North Dakota. He called on the
President to say goodbye and to assure
the chief executive that North Dakota will
turn in the usual republican majority in
the elections this fall. "I am going to take
a rest of about a month";" said Senator Nc
Cumber, "and then l. will take part in the
campaign, which will open about the mid
with the administration and will cast Its
vote for the right men in November. The
people want to retain prosperous conditions
and will vote to do that"
Representatives McCleary of Minnesota
and Kleberg of Texas called on the Presi-
dent about bills pending for the signature
of the President.

of whom are going out of the city imme-
diately upon the adjournment of Congress,
We're among the Presidents visitors. SEN
ator Beveridge takes his departure tonight.
