WASHINGTON June /, The pres
ident addressed the iirand Army from
the platform at Getry sburg last Mon
day and will soyr for some week
> make Washington s,e active head
, quarters of republican conference
Just now he is pretty busy replying tC
: delegations OF prominent republicans
who do not wholIy approve of Mr.
Cortelyou as "A insnager of the cam
: paign. 1t is reported that the press
ident is somewhat i,Titated by these
meddlers and says th2t he appointed
Cortelyou because 'hey would not be
satisfied with anybassF else.
There are twelve or fifteen republi
can senators IN the Csty looking after
various interests besides fence fixing.
The most OF them are on business for
their constituents, tut some arc earn
estly trying to serve the public by
devising measures for the modification
of executive methods. These will BIZ
Ppresented and urged next winter One
aims at the unification of those bu-
reaus which are all doing substantial
ly the same thing and doing it over
and over without any public benefit.
Secretary Whitney did much effective
work in this line, reorganizing the
navy department and combining as
70 In 81
and divisions of supply. 1t is we'll
known that the new cruisers built by
him were mostly paid for by the
economies thus introduced and en-
forced.
1t is now purposed to do a similar
and much needed work There are
six bureaus of statistics where there
ought to be put one, and there are
four or five photographic bureaus,
run on methods contradictatory to
each other. and it is proposed to roll
these into one. There are thirteen
printing offices. The 'geograJ hcal
survey has done and is doing a great
and invaluable work, in mapping on
a large scale the entire surface of the
United States, but it is work which .
obviously belongs to the land office, ,
with which the geogical survey has
nothing whatever to do. That bureau
has developed another function whose
unProfitable activities under G.. d.
Wolcott shoDld be reduced by drastic
methods, ii not entirely abolished.
Reference is made to the publication
OF bulletins consisting OF speculations
so obtruse and even esoteric that to
almost TO all readers they are as in
as the mystics dreams
OF the middle ages. The law forbids
the giving away of these booklets;
they can be obtaiLed only by purchase.
There is one which COS. many thous-
lnds of dollars and was published
many years ago, which has sold only
eight copies and the author an
bounced that fact with pride, alleging
hat two had bought the document by
mistake because there are only six
leople i'll the United States who
)ould understand it.
The troubles of the Red Cross So
,iety do not seem to be at all ended
~ the resignation of Miss Clara Bar
on and the election of Mrs. John Az
logan as president. Those who pro-
ested and still protest against mis- I
management and malfeasance are :
of the executive committee,
out they are people of world wide dis
inction while the stand pat party :,
ire obscure. The former demanded
resignation OF all the officers and
he appointment of president by the h
PRESIDENT of the United States, with A
'oard OF control of eighteen members.
)f course the Red Cross society will
ever be healthy organization uutil Il

nd responsible auditor.
1t is understood that the cattle men
