Ohio states csmIn-Has a Talk With
the Chief Executive About APP
poiutments in the Southern States.

Senator Hanna, apparently unperturbed
by the fierce fight waging in Ohio, called
at the White House yesterday.
He had a big bunch of letters in his
pocket and for an hour he talked with
the President about prospective appoint
ments in the South, in States which have
little or no Republican Congressional
representation.
The cases were those of persons TO
whom Senator Hanna had made pledges
during the campaign, and yesterday was
the first time that he had an opportunity
to go over them at length.
Says President Is a Worker.
AS he stood at the top of the stairs in
the White House Senator Hanna took oc-
casion to pay a characteristically frank
tribute to the President.
He is all right" remarked the chair
man of the national committee with en-
phasis He is doing his level best. He
has made a number of appointments. but
it has always been for improvement. And
he is a worker, too. l thought / was
pretty good steamboat, but and Sem
ator Hanna started to descend the steps
without further words, as if the capacity
for business of the President was too
much for expression.
Admiral Dewey Says Goodbye.
A short time before Senator Hanna put
in an appearance Admiral Dewey called
at the White House. With the exception
of his official call on New Year Day, IL
was the first time the Admiral had ap-
ggy 40,
shortly after the adjournment of the
Schley court. ON that occasion he re-
marked that ne would rather have gone
into Manila Bay than have been ordered
to duty on the Court OF Enquiry.
Admiral Dewey is going away in short
time. and called to say goodbye to the
President. Mrs. Dewey is i'll, ana will
endeayor to recuperatc in the genial
climate of Palm Beach, Florida. The
Admiral said he expected to be gone a
month or two.
Senator Scott, who was at the White
House yesterday, was much disappointed
at the Presidents failure to make Colonel
Guenther of the Artillery Corps a briga-
dier general before his retirement, which
will be ordered svon. Senator Scott took
occasion to compare Colonel Guenther
with Gen. Joe" Wheeler. He said that
Colonel Guenther had always fought for
his country, had served in three wars,
had been five times brcyetted, and was
to be retired as colonel. while General
Wheeler had fought against his country
in the civil war and had been retired as
a brigadier general

Gen. r. &. Dyrenforth, commander-in-
chief of the Union Veterans Union, who
always has an eye open TO the advantages
Of the veterans, called on the President
yesterday and suggested that the civil
service examination for applicants for
to positions Of skilled labor
be set aside in the case OF widows OF
soldiers Of the civil war. or in the case
