Congress furnishes the money for rent Mr..
Cortelyou will continue to officially abide at
the White House for the present, although
his quarters are somewhat eramped. espe-

The Wick Case Again.
The President recently decided that he
would appoint DR.. B. T.sPerson as post
master at Wilson, N. c., In place of S. H.
Wick, colored. who did not have the in
dorsement Of Senator Pritchard. Dr. Person
had been populist state senator from the
county in which Wilson is located and his
qualifications for the Office have not been
disputed. Just as the President was on
t the point Of sending the Nomination Of Dr.
PERSON to the Senate Complaint was made
. to the Post Office Department that DR..
Person does not live within the limits OF. the
Wilson office, but resides outside. POST
master General Payne is having this feature
OF the case investigated. 6hd@ the rulings
OF the Post Office Department man can
gOl gOnd ps she epRGnesd ay os a M s Lives be
as to DR.. Person Is tru$ Senator Pfltchard
Will have to make another Recommendation.
The North Carolina sena tor continues to
oppose the nomination Of vick, and the
Pritchard in the matter.
Governor Cum1nins, Visit.
Governor cummins OF Iowa was caller
at the White House today and spent some
time with the President. His friends have
taken occasion to somewhat emphatically
deny stories that he Is candidate for Vice
President on the republicans ticket next year.
They declare that he has no ambition to be
vice presidential candidate and assert that
some day he will be the. nominee Of his
party for President. Another northwestern
governor now In Washington, and said to
be an aspfrant for the position of running
mate to Presidet Roosevelt or whoever else
may be nominated by the republicans is
Governor Samuel r. Van SAINT Of Minneso-
ia. He stands well in his, section of the
country and state. The general belief is
that western man Will be selected for vice
presidential nominee should President
Roosevelt be renominated by bis party. Gov
ernor Van SAINT is described as genuine
candidate for the nomination, and his
friends are said to be making a preliminary
canvass in that direction.
Major General Charles F. Roe, command
ing the National Guard of the state of New
York, and Brigadier General Henry, adj
jutant general Of New York, called upon
President Roosevelt today to pay their re-
spects and discuss with him the new militia
law.
