Mr. Cleveland has decided not to occupy the White House as a home during the early part of his administration. It is stated that wants the White House to be placed in tho ough order and arranged to suit the needs of his family, and also that he does not wish to make y mistake in bringing Mrs. Cleve- land and the baby in the bouse while there is the remotest danger of infection from the case of scarlet fever from which little Marthena Harrison bas recently recovered. He has therefore concluded to lease a private residence in this city for a few months at least. The residence of the late Admiral Porter on H street between 17th and 18th streets has been called to his attention and it is highly probable that he will select this house. The agent of the property in this city today told a Stan reporter that the house had not been leased. 't is thought that some definite arrangement will be made soon so that prepa- rations can be made to get the house in for the new occupants. It has not been occu- pied this winter.

As a result of the statement made Bradley Green, the cabman, at the inquest yesterday over the remains of Lieut. Reynolds, U.S.N., who died Thursday morning from injuries re- ceived by being knocked down and run over by a cable car Wednesday evening, to the effect that the injured man was kept waiting at the door of the hospital for twenty minntes, and that he was inhumanly treated after being received at the hospital, Dr. Jas. Kerr, in charge of the hospital, ordered an in- vestigation of the charges by the hospital authorities this afternoon. Dr. Kerr. when questioned this morning about the matter by a Sran reporter. said he did not think it proper to say anything at this time, preferring that the investigation should first be had. DR. HEINECKE’S STATEMEN’ Dr. Heincke, the resident physician of tho hospital, who was in charge at the time Lieut. Reynolds arrived there, was seen by a reporter of Tue Stan this morning in reference to the chargex made. Dr. Heinecke said: “My attention was called to the case by the janitor, who came to my room and told me that there was a man in a cab at the door who had been injured by being run over by a cable In com- pany with Dr. James Stuart, — asaist- ant resident physician, I at once, without a moment's delay, went down to the door, where we found Lieut. Reynolds sitting in the door of a herdic cab with his lege hanging out. He was in a dazed condition, and Dr. Stuart and I, carefully taking hold of his legs, and two others taking him by the shoul- dere, we carried the injured man in and placed him'on the operating table. We cut his clothing off his limbs and carefully examined them. He was very restles almost every moment upon rising up. Stuart, as quickly as possib! dermie injection of morph Dz. gave him a hypo- to relieve his #uf- fering. We explained to Lieut. Rey- nolds that his legs were badly broken, and that unless he remained perfectly still he ~— would _increase the injuries to such an extent that amputation would be necessary. Notwithstanding this ex- planation, Lieut. “Reynold’s insisted upon ris- ing, and’ it required considerable effort to restrain him. The statement that I or any one else threatened to strike him if he did not keep stilh or that we were going to am- putate his lege is absolutely false, T found both legs to be badly crushed above the knee, and perceived that the unfortunate man’ was suffering greatly from shock. I immedi- ately telephoned to Dr. King, the attending surgeon of the hospital, to come at once, and Dr. Kerr arrived in about ten minutes after re- ceiving my message. Dr. Kerr put the injured limbs in’ splints and Lieut. then placed in a private ward and made as comfortable as possible. From that time I or my assistante never left him. Heart stimulants were given the injured man to overcome the effects of the shock, and his condi- tion improved untilabout 8:30, when he began to sink gradually. About 9 o'clock a consultation was held by Dr. Kerr, a surgeon from the navy yard who was a friend of Lieut. Reynolds, and the hospital staff, when it was decided that all that possibly could have been done had been done, and it was recommended that the same treatment should be continued. At midnight it became apparent to me that the case was hopeless one, and the injured man's condition was then telephoned to Dr. Kerr by me. Dr. Kerr, in reply, stated that a continuation of the treat- Lient, Reynolds gradually sank and died at 6:05 the morning following his injury. There | was no neglect on my part nor on the part of any one else connected with the hospital that I am aware of, and I am at a | loss to understand why ‘such a statement as that sworn to by the cabman, Green, should have been made. I have demanded an investi- gation by the hospital authorities and am con- fident that all I have stated will be found to be true in every particular.” Dr. Stuart was present when Dr. Heinecke made his statement and corroborated it in every particular. ‘THE JANITOR'S STATEMENT. ‘The janitor of the hospital, Geo. H. Keppler, was also questioned by the reporter. Janitor Keppler stated that the door bell was rung about ten minutes after 5, that he answered it without a momen: opening the door he saw the cab and was told by a ‘man that there was a man in it who had been budly cut up by a cable car. He stepped outside and seeing that Lieut. Reynol were probably broken he quickiy step) king tube led up to Dr. Heinecke through the office tube. Receiving no response he tried the one running to Dr. Heinecke's office. That one seemed to be out of order and getting no responso to his call he immediately ran upstairs to Dr. Heinecke’s room. He found the doctor there and told him of the in- jured man outside. Dr. Heinecke, followed by r. James Stuart, the assistant resident physician, hastened down stairs at once and aanisted in carrying Lieut. Reynolds into the room near the door, where he was placed on the operating table. Janitor Keppler stated that in cases of broken legs the arrival of the doctors was always awaited before carrying the injured person into the hospital unless the person was lying on itretcher. This was done, he explained, that @ injury might not ‘be increased or unnecessary suffering caused through unpro- fessional or careless handling. He said that he was certain that Lieut. Reynolds was in the room and receiving the care of the physi inside of five minutes at the very latest. EXONERATED. At the investigation this afternoon the other witnesses examined bore out the statement of the doctors and the janitor, and the board heard all connected with the affair except the cab driver and policeman who could not be found. The conclusion of the board was that there was no foundation whatever for the charges made at the coroner's inquest. SS SER WASHINGTON MARKETS. The butter market is fint today.

They Make a Series of Official Calls at the Departments. MR. THURSTON WAITS UPON THE QUEEN'S REP- BESENTATIVE, BUT FAILS TO MEET HIM— PRINCE DAVID REMAINS AT HIS HOTEL—HIS POSITION AS HE EXPLAINS IT. Mr. L. A. Thurston, head of the special an- nexation commission of the provisional gov- ernment of Hawaii, called this morning at an early hour upon Mr. Paul Neuman, the deposed queen’s envoy, but early as it was Mr. Neuman had left his hotel and the two gentlemen, who are personal friends. did not meet.

Mr. Kenney is a native of Hawaii, and until a few years ago was a prominent resident of the islands. Prince David, who accompanies Mr. Neuman, remained at the hotel during the morning. The prince in complexion is much lighter than the natives of Hawaii.

Mr. he is confident that the Senate his possession, be less hasty in acting upon the saty than the officials of the government were in sending it to that bo of the natives of Hawaii, said Mr. Neumann, would support the provisional government if they were allowed to have a vote in the matter. THE PROTEST OF THE QUEEN. Among the Hawaiian papers now before the President of the Sonate are the protests of Queen Liliuokalani and Consul General Pratt of Hawaii against the ratification of the annexa- tion treaty. ‘The queen's letter is as follows: His Excellency Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States: My Great and Good Friend: It is with deep regret that I address you on this occasion. Some of my subjects, aided by aliens, have renounced | their loyalty and revolted against the constitu- tional government of my kingdom. They have tempted to depose me visional government in direct conflict with the organic law of this kingdom. Upon receiving incontestible proofs that his excellency the minister plenipotentiary of the United States aided and abetted their unlawful movements and caused United States troops to be landed for that purpose, I submitted to force, believing that he would’ not have acted in that manner unless by the authority of the government which he represents, This action on my part was prompted by three reasons: The futility of a conflict with | the United States, the desire to avoid violence, bloodshed, and the destruction of life and property, and the certainty which I feel that you and your government will right whatever ‘wrongs may have been inflicted upon us in the premires, In due time a statement of the true facts re- lating to the matter will be laid before you, and I live in the hope that you will judge uprightly nd justly between myself and my enemies. This appeal ic not made for myself personally, but for my people, who have hitherto always enjoyed the friendship and protection of the United States. My opponents have taken the only vessel | which could be obtained here for the purpose, and. hearing of their intention to send a dele- gation of their number to present their side of this conflict before you, I requested the favor of sending by the samo vessel an v to you to | lay before you my statement, as the facts ap- | pear to myself and my loyal subjects. This re- quest bas been refused, and now I ask, in justice to myself and to my people, that no steps be taken by the government of the United States until my cause can be heard by you. I shall be able to dispatch voy about the second day of February, as that will be the first available opportunity, and he will reach you with every possible haste, that there may be no delay in the settlement of this matter. Ipray you, therefore, my good friend, that Zou will not allow any conclusions to be resehed ¥ you until my envoy arrives. T beg to assure you of the continuance of my highest consideration.

STERLING MORTON. reland’s Selection for the Secretary, of Agriculture, DEMOCRATS APPEAR TO BE GENERALLY saTis- FIED—WHAT I8 SAID OF HIM BY PROMINENT GENTLEMEN WHO HAVE KNOWN HIM, SOME FOR A GREAT MANY YEARS The selection of J. Sterling Morton by Mr. | Cleveland for Secretary of Agriculture appears | to give very general satisfaction among demo- crate, They say that he is a straight democrat with a good record as a tariff reformer and om democratic principles generally. Representative Bryan said this morning: “Mr. Morton bas been identified with the his- tory of Nebraska since territorial dave, and is among the most illustrious of her citizens, | No one who knows him will question his ability. His name was suggested for the portfolio of agriculture because. of hie being the father of ‘Arbor day,’ first estal lished in our state and afterward by mauy jand both im 1d in the cour- stall times. He has for almost a generation reached the gospel of . tariff reform to an an- lieving people, and has at various times bem the party candidate for the House, for the Senate and for governor of’ the state. I have no doubt that the President will find in him not only an intelligent | counsellor and an efficient Secretary, out © congenial companion. Mr. Morton ise brilliant after-dinner speaker and I shall be dis [appointed if he does pot prove a formidable | nival of Mr. Depew in that field.” Prot. C. V. Riley, who i aa old friend and adinirer of Mr. Morton, and who originally urged him for the place, says of him: “Mr. Morton is admirably fitted for the pomtion of Secretary of Agriculture. being 4 college man, @ statesman of: the highest character and thoroughly identified with the agri- cultural and forestry interests of the coun- try.

He is an out and out free trader, | a capital er, ® practical agriculturist and anardentdemocrat. He has been the democratic nominee for governor of Nebraska three times and was their candidate at the last election. | He is agenial, cultured gentleman and his ap- pointment will give universal satisfaction te the people of Nebraska, regardless of polities, and'withal he is the Dest “story teller’ I ever knew.” | MR.
