President Mckinley exerted a great
er personal influence upon the con-

has known for more than a genera

house and its requirements. He de-
termined to have it improved, and
the congress cordially cooperated
with him. 1t was upon his personal
recommendation and request that the
congress, by act approved June +,

or so much thereof as may be neces-
sasy, for continuing plans for ex-

and through this corridor the presi-
dent walks to his Office rooms. This
is called the west terrace, because it
extends from the west side of the
white house. After traversing this
corridor the president turns to the
left into his business Office room,
which is on the south side of the new
annex Directly opposite, on the north
side, is very large room which has
been set apart for the use of the cab
met. Hereafter the cabinet meetings
will be held in that room, so that even
on cabinet days the white house will
continue to be the exclusive home of
