The Presidents Busy Day.
Saturday is always the busiest day of the
week at the White House so far the
number of callers goes, and today was not
an exception. Just why Saturday is the
principal day of the week cannot be ex-
planned at the executive offices, but it has
been this way for many years, and will no
DOUBT continue The President rarely
makes engagements for important confer
ences on this day because of the knowledge
that he will have more congressional Wis
itors than ON any other day and more Wis
itors of other classes. The Presidents run

tain is the only man of his class in the
army who has not been promoted to higher
places. 1t is claimed that he has never
before allowed any one to ask a favor for
MN at the War Department or at the
Whlte House, and his seIf-effacement has
resulted in others being promoted over his
head until he is left the only one of his
class. He entered the federal army in 1860
when SIXTEEN years of age, serving throu OH
out the civil war in the 10th Ohio Volun-
teer Infantry. AT the close of the war he
was sent to West Point, where he gradu-

been entirely on merit and without in
fuence of any kind The President was
glad to meet him, and promised considera-
ton of his case.

Senator Depew took two bright looking

House today and presented them to the
President. When asked as to the object of
the visitors, he said Consular places. I
think l have an average of two or three
young men nearly every day who ask my
support for consular positions I tell them
frankly that the quota of New York is five
more now than the state is entitled to and
that the President has positively refused
to give the state another appointment UNI
less there is death or number of resig-
nations. But they probably don't believe
me. They are fully satisfied that if they
could see the President personally he would
change the rule as to New York COM
pletely, or possibly make an exception in
their cases. So l bring along with me those
who insist on seeing the President and let
him knock them in the head. politically
speaking. They are fine young fellows, too,
