AND DOORKEEPER LGEFFLER SAYS THEY WERE ALL “‘NICE PEOPLE” —COL, TOM OCHILTREE AND PROFESSOR LANGSTON HAVE SATISFACTORY IN TERVIEWS WITH THE CHIEF MAGISTRATE. The President was at his desk early this morning. and he and Secretary Halford had a consultation as to the business of the day for some time previous to 10 o'clock. At that hour the usual quota of callers were lounging in the corridors upstairs waiting, like the Oklahoma boomers, for the opening of the gates, Four colored people, three men and a woman, were among the first, arriving promptly at 10. They were Rey. Drs. Roberts and Wells, and Mr. and Mrs. Colbert, come to plead with the President for pardon for the son of the Colberts, con- demned to be hung day after to-morow for having slain Mr. Wenzel in the Columbia street car stables some months ago. CAME TO PLEAD FOR A LIFE. They came upstairs with solemn faces bereft of hope. The parents of the condemned man are very small people, considerably under the medium height. and they followea meekly in the wake of Rov. Roberts, who had charge of the party. He was armed with some pap among them a copy of the court record in Col- bert’s case. There was a good deal of patience in the at- titudes of the folks waiting outside of the doors. Stillness reigned, and out of Mr. Hal- ford’s window some of the waiting ones e1 joyed the beautiful scene spread out from the mansion to the river. THE WHITE HOUSE BABIES and their nurses sat on a bench in the shade of one of the great trees, enjoying the delightful | morning air, The nurses made letters in the gravel path with sticks to amuse the children, whore voices sometimes floated upward into the windows, S-cretary Halford came from the President's room at abgut a quarter past 10 and began his task of receiving a dozen or more people wait ing for an au lience, SENATORS WHO CALLED. His place in the library was taken by Senator Harris, who had a short talk with the President, opposing the appointmentof Mr. L, G. Hine as Commissioner of the District of Columbia, and then withdrew in favor of SenatorWashburn. Tie latter held the President's ear for many minutes, to the anxiety of the do people in the cabinet room and the two dozen more who sat in the waiting room and leaned against the walls of the corridors. The crowd was much larger than usual, and was apparently rei forced by those who were deprived of an audi- ence by the President's trip down the river, A SOUTHERN REPURLICAN WITH A MISSION, Among those in Mr. Halford’s room was a Mr. Parsons, a southern republican, who had some important facts to give to the President that he thought would throw some light on the southern question, told him that er the entire field, phase had been given to bim, and fully Informed. “But Mr. Parsons persisted until the private secretary concluded to let him stand his chances for an interview, and introduced him into the cabinet-room, ready well filled. AMONG THE EARLIEST CALLERS waa Col. Tom Ochiltree, who waited with the rest. Hon. Geo. H. Halsey and Representative Lehlback came up the stairs with a delegation of about ten New Jerseymen, who declared that The supply of callers far exceeded the de- mand. anc ving reservoirs were soon choked with material, while Senator Washburn chatted quietiy on with the President. PROF, JOHN M. LANGSTON was a little taken aback when he saw the great crowd before him on reaching the cabinet- room door. “Iam going to have just a short talk with the President,” he said toa Star re- porter, “if I ever get in, Iam not after an of- fice. The testimony in my contested-election is in good shape, and is now in the hands of the printer. Yes, I think itisin very good shape. It is that matter that brings me to the Senator Washburn left in about half an hour, and after that the mill began to grind a little more rapid! tis, however, did not last long, for Mr. Blaine made his appearance at 11 and carried the President off into the inner recesses of the mansion. A BIG CROWD AND ALL “NICE PEOPLE.” There was no diminution in the coming crowds, Representative Ketchum peeped into the cabinet-room and shook his head, He asked Doorkeeper Laffler what chance there was, and finally managed to hear his reply that there was very little show for an interview. He concluded to come again Leefiier sighed as he surveyed the faces on all sides of him, and remarked: ‘This is a very large crowd. and ail nice people. too,” in a tone to express great regret that he could not give everybo audience with the President. Mr. Blaine stayed about half an hour, COL, OCHILTREE SEES THE PRESIDENT, Col. Tom Ochiltree’s patience was soon re- warded, and he hada chat with the President for some time. He looked pretty weil satisfied when he came out and went slowly down stairs on his crutches, “1 had a talk with the President about Texas affairs,” he said. “I do not think that he is go- ing to take up those matters right away. but I am _ pretty sure that he is going to his appointments there on the basis of fitness and business cations, If be does that I shall be per- contented, He knows perfectly well {had control of the patronage of the state under Grant and Arthur, and that every ap- pointment made there was a good one, That is what has made me so popular in the state and nabled me to come to Congress froma district.

Goldberg, of Chicago, who wants to us| somewhere. He speaks seven lan- ges and has a strong backing. He met Mr. on the porch and was told to come to the or called with four or five friends to ects, Among them was Mr. H. Walls, state librarian of California, and Mr. Fleteher, librarian of Amherst college. PROF, LANGSTON PROPHESIES A REPUBLICAN VIC- TORY IN VIRGINIA, The crowd stopped coming by noon, but some of the early comers were still waiting. Prof. Langston, by virtue of persistent pa- tience, had an interview with the President. He came out smiling aud sppareatty very happy. Taking the reporter b he led him to the hali window and onia: “Did I have a pleasant interview? Well, now, Tm a Harrison man, and I'm a republican; isn’t that enough of a reason for me to have a pleasant talk with the President? I should say so, Don't I look satistied? You can say that | pr, Langston came out with a happy look, and you can say that he seeme tented. You can also say that the re- publicans are going to carry Virginia next November by a big majority.

At1 o'clock, allof the visitors having been satisfied in some way, the President descended to the east-room and shook hands with the 200 people assembled there. He performed this operation in quick time, paying especial atten- tion to two or three babies held up for him to see. He then went to lunch, and quiet reigned above. Secretary Halford found it utterly impossible to get away from the White House and tele- ' graphed his regrets to Gen. Agnus for his inabil- ity to attend the party given to-day at the lat- ter’s country home, near Baltimore. MR. LOOP’S EMBLEMATIC CARD. The card of Mr. Loop. of Kokoma, Ind., who called at the White House yesterday, as stated in Tue Stak, is a business affair, its face being decorated with a row of wooden grain measures, the like of which are manufactured by him when he is not hunting for office. The largest one represents a 16-quart measure, and it was far too small to hold Mr. Loop’s hopes a couple of months ago. Now the little quart measure down at the other end of the pictorial row would probably contain all he expects to get. Mr. Loop informed a Star reporter that his reputation out in Kokoma was that of a “hust- ler.” and it was generally believed out in that delightfal village that he could get anything he ted from this administration. Confi- dentially he informed the reporter that that idea was incorrect and witnout real solid foun- dation. He stated this with evident regret. WARM ENDORSEMENT FROM THE SOUTH. The President yesterday received that re- markable endorsement given to Gen, Bernard G. Farrar, of St. Louis, by the people of the city of Natchez, Miss. The general is a candi- date for the position of assistant treasurer at St. Louis. and the Natchez folks evidently want him to get it. They speak of him in the high- est and most emphatic terms, andsay: “It may, | and doubtless will, seem somewhat ‘novel and strange that we, as citizens of a city and state in almost the extreme southern limits of the Union, shouldthus add our voices and the measure of our influence that perchance we have in the behalf of a citizen of Missouri. , This action on our part is easily and cheerfully explained, and is but partly and feebly discharging a debt of gratitude tlis eople owe Gen. Parrar for his many acts of indness manifested toward them when in com- mand of the United States forces here in ‘the long ago.’ The memorialists then eulogize Gen. Farrar’s administration and concinde by saying: “We have never seen Gen, Farrar since he left, but our respect and good wishes have and ever will attend him, and should he ever honor us with a visit we wouid tender to him an ovation that would prove that the friend- ship born for him here ct wibby country was deluged in war and he an enemy, abated nor lost its luster or fervency.” | | has not Interior Department Changes.

The case of the colored man, Samuel Hol. comb, charged with assgulting a white girl named Elizabeth Welch, at the house of Sen- ator Gorman, where both were employed, as heretofore published in Tue Sar, was ened in the Police Court to-day to hear the evidence of Mrs. Senator Gorman. She testified as to the bruises on the girl's chest. She did not see the parties on the fluor. but they were clinched when she arrived in the pantry. The evidence was partially the Police Court yesterday. heard The in girl charged Holcomb with having brutally knocked | her down and beaten her. Holcomb denied the charge and accused the girl of having a knife in her hand when they had the trouble. He said that the girl cut his coat with the knife. Two colored servants employed at Senator German’s house testified that the girl's breast was discolored before the alleged as- sault. Mr. W. H. H. Hart, for the defendant, made an able argument in behalf of his client. Mr. Armes argued for a conviction, Judge Miller said that from the evidence he was unable to come to a conclusion, and being bound to give the defendant the benefit of the doubt he dismissed the case, ses nan eee Senator Hace Hert.—Mr. Hale, of the Sen- ate committce on trade relations with Canada, now in session at Los Angeles, Cal., had his right leg badly injured in a railroad collision ta San Jose, Cal., Monday.
