TO MANY THE PART HE PLAYS IS A TRAGEDY, WHILE TO & FEW IT IS COMEDY—OXLY AN HOUR ALLOTTED TO VISITORS TODAY BECAUSE IT WAS CABINET Dar, ‘The President plared to a crowded house today. To some of the audience it was comedy while to others it was tragedy, and his role was interpreted by them as that of the benevolent father or the heavy villain respectively. Some there were, the succeseful ones doubt- less, who came away with smiling faces and lightsome step, while others, balked in their | heart's ambitions, strode out with fearfal | frown and muttering “S' death!” under their | breath. | The play was soon over, too soon in fact for | many, and lasted only from 10 to 11, being what might be cailed a one-hour's stand. TOO MANY RULES. “There are too many rules around here, any- how,” growled a western Congressman when the hour of 11 o'clock arrived and found him still hanging on to the fringe of the crowd. can't see the President at all on Monday, weare limited to one hour on Tuesday and Friday, consequently when opportunity is given to got at him there is such a mob gathered to take advantage of it that a man with a retiring soul can’t get within sound of his voice. This undignified scramble after office is dis- graceful! Come on, boys, we'll have to give it up for today, but we will try it again tomor- row,” and he and bis retainers filed out. Of course the majority of those who visit the White House are after “soft berths,” but it goes without saying that many of them will only get a berth on the hurricane roof, just abaft the smoke stack, where the cinders can fall upon them. MR. JOHN SCOTT HARRISOX. Among the President's callers this morning was Mr. John Scott Harrison of Kansas City, a brother of ex-President Harrison, but whe is & staunch democrat, and Mr. C. Tichenor of Kansas City,who while a republican has always made an exception to his political principles to support Mr. Clevelond. Mr. Tichenor disavows any ambition to hold office, but Mr. Harrison is accused of ogling in a very suggestive manner the surveyorship of customs at Kansas City, and he does not deny the soft impeachment. Congressman Oates, Representative-clect Denson and Mr. E. L.’ Russell of Mobile, who was a Cleveland elector, called with a group of Alabamians. They were: Mr. Thomas P. Brewer of Mobile, who would likes Mexican consul- ship; Gen. Lafayette Pierson of Dadeville, who aspires to the Venezuelan mission, and Col. Me- Lain of Mobile, who wants to be United States marshal. ‘TENNESSEANS STILL ACTIVE, Benators Harris and Bate and Representatives Patterson and Enloe called to urge Mr. N. W. Baptist of Tipton county, Tenn., for one of the Oklahoma judgeships. ‘Congressman O'Ferrall introduced Mr. E. Burgess, a native of Culpeper, who would like to be appointed governor of Arizona, When the hour of 11 o'clock arrived and the cabinet assembled the audience and those who had come late were obliged to go away without seeing the President. HARMONIZING FACTIONS. Considerable speculation is being indulged in as to the President's probable action in the matter of harmonizing clashing factions in the yy and the treatment of the Farmers’ Al- nee. Congressmen who have talked with him upon these subjects say that he evidences a desire to conciliate both sides of factions within the democratic party and to heal their differences possible, but there is @ growing suspicion that he will not go very far off the trail tobring back any stray lambs that have wandered into the Farmers’ Alliance fold, and that the aforesaid lambkins will find but ecant browsing there in the sage brueh and cactii. Gen. Patrick Collins of Massachusetts, the new consul goneral to London, paid his respects to the President. He told Mr. Cleveland that he would sail for England in two weeks. ‘About 2 o'clock this afternoon Senator Dolph called on the President to present Miss Edith Day, the young lady who is racing against time in her journey across the continent.

ST. CLAIR’S REMOVAL. His Resignation Tendered Today—The ‘Causes That Led to It. Dr. F. O. St. Clair, chief of the consular bn- reau of the State Department, tendered his resignation today in compliance with the de- mand of Secretary Gresham. It has not yet been accepted, however, and a strong effort is being made to induce the Secretary to recon- sider his action. Dr. St. Clair was on daty today, but doesnot expect to remain much longer. He will be suc- ceeded by Mr. W. E. Faison, an $1,800 clerk in the office. He is a democrat and acted as solic~ itor of the department forashort time after Mr. Partridge’s departure for Venezuela. He entered the service through the civil service route. CAUSE OF DISMISSAL. Dr. St. Clair was dismissed because of the al- Jeged suppression of papers relating to the case of Mr. Johnson, consul at Keyl, Germany, who was recently removed for irregularities in his accounts. Dr. St. Clair contended that the letters he had received on the subject were private communications. They were written by @ consular clerk named Hansmann and were marked personal and in their text said that the matters were not in shape for #ubmis- sion to the department. They intimated that all was not right at the Keyl consulate and that an investigation was in progress. The letters were shown to Assistant Secre- tary Wharton and were returned to Dr. St SECRETARY FOSTER’S REPRIMAND. Some time after this, in August last, Secre- tary J. W. Foster learned through the Treas- ury Department that Johnson's accounts were im bad shape. He sent for Dr. St. Clair and was much surprised to learn that that gentle- man was alteady apprised of the situation by means of his private cot The Secretary asked to see letters and sfter reading them rebuked the doctor for not baving called his attention to them. ‘The two gentlemen differed as to whether or not the letters were official communications, snd the Secretary's comments on the incident were in the nature of a reprimand. The papers were placed on file and the matter was allowed todrop. All this took place last fall, and was supposed to have been settled by the last ad- mivistration. It was not alleged that Dr. St. Clair had acted disbonorably in the matter. His offense was, it is claimed, an error of judgment, which had no effect on the investigation in progress. It is reported that Secretary Gresham's knowledge of the affair came to him through Secretary Foster, and that his action in de- manding Dr. St. Clair’s revignation was bared on the results of inquiries started by what bad been told him by bis predecessor. Seat ane WATER AND SEWERAGE. ‘The Residents of Meridian Hill Ask for ‘These Modern Improvements. A number of the residents of Meridian Hill held a meeting last night to take action in the matter of procuring water and sewerage for that section of the city. Among those present were Messrs. W. G. Fearing, chairman; Wm. Myers, Wm. H. Scott, C. A. Berkley, Messrs, Taylor, Burnett, Jones and Dr. Norwood, secre- tary. Several addresses were made as to the necessity of the improvements to be asked for. During the discussion it was brought out that the surface closets and the throwing of dirty water in the streets and backyards, because there is no other place to put it, made a stench almost unbearable, particularly at night. A committee was appointed to visit the District Commissioners and ask for relief from the existing conditions by placing sewers and water mains in this section, which is now thickly settled. It was pointed ont that this condition of things is not only a menace to the health of those living in the immediate neighborhood, but it also affects, more or less, those living some distance away, and for the protection of all concerned this matter should receive prompt attention, particularly at this time when the authorities are endeavoring to prevent » possible invasion of cholera sndusere veers Only Two Nominations.
