BEVERLY. Mass, July 30.-The White
House executive offices were moved to-
day from the Mason building on Cabot
street to the Pickering house on 10TH
rop street. The new quarters are di-
rectly on the shore, a fine grassy lawn
leading down from the rear veranda to
the waters edge. The house overlooks
Burgess point, where the Presidents cot
tage is located. 1t is expected that the
President will do most of his work in
future at the executive Offices, and it
was largely for this reason that the
move was made from the center CT the
city to the more secluded spot on the
shore drive. number of the executive
clerks will sleep on the third floor of the
new quarters. Secretary Norton has also
a living room reserved for him.

list of Cancelled engagements announced
last night promise to speak before a
meeting Of the National League of Re-
publican Clubs in New York late in Sep
TENDER. 1t vas reported that whatever
the President may have to say affecting
the fall campaign will be included in this
speech. 1t is doubtful. however, if he
will go outside of a statement of the ac-
complishments of his administration thus
far. From this he will attempt to show
that the republican party is endeavoring
to live up to its platform pledges.
