paramount power in the ministry, as
he is backed by the entire army. and
ne threatens severe resentment in the
case of any hint by a member of the
cabinet OF the punishment of the con
spirators.

government when the czar telegraph-

the minister takes the subsequent
publication of Russia's demand for

the murderers are punished. Mean

companions His favorite antagonists
are Commissioner Garfield and Com
missioner Cooley, the young New
Yorker, who has just taken a place on
the civil service commission. Both Of
them are fine players. Garfield espe-
cially, and they go at it with a vim.
The president generally picks one Of
them for partner and the two play
against the other. Occasionally the
president takes one side of the net by
himself. He. is not up on the fine
points of the game as the others are
and he is a little heavier on his pins,
but he plays powerfully and plays to
win.
It is one of the most interesting
sights in Washington to see this ten

tween four and five o'clock after the
grist of visitors has been ground out.
Tennis is not SO popular among pub
lie men in Washington as it was a few
years before the lazier game of golf
came into vogue, but it is growing
again in esteem. When Olney was sec
rotary of state under Cleveland he was
regarded as the pest player in Wash
ington and it was the only form Of ex-
ercise he took. Senator Lodge is also
a fine player, though he seldom gets a
chance Ever since he was old enough
to straddle horse he has been addicted
to riding, and he has the best seat OF
any public man in Washington.
