This was the first section of del- egates, and the second will leave Wednes- Gay morniag over the Pennsylvania road at 7:50 o'clock. It was made necessary to have separate partles by reason of tne number who had applied for tickets for the trip. The special train bearing the Endeavor- ers left the station promptly at 10 o'clock. For nearly an hour before that time they had been assembling at the depot, and, with the friends who had come to see them off, they made a large crowd and a liveiy one. ‘The excursionists wore red, white and blue badges, with the name of the delegu- tron and the destination. They were load- ed down with all sorts of satcheis, bundles and packages. Many of them hal cameras with which to take views of picturesque scenery along the route, and one or two were attired in full bicycle regalia. Their wheels were in the baggage car, ands the owners stated they were going to make the trip with their wheeis, and test them ip the selubrious atmosphere of the far-away west. All in Good Spirits. Everybody was in excellent spirits. No one had any complaint to make. ‘The stay- at-homes consoled themselves with the thought that their friends wouid have lots to tell them when they returned. Mr. Grant Leet, president-elect of the District Union, was at “he station early and had his hands full in making the final arrangements for the comfcrt of the dele- gates in the midst of the questions he had to answer. Mr. W. W. Tuckey, chairman ot the transportation committee cf the Dis- trict Union, was also present. He arranged the final details, distributed the Puliman car tickets to the delegates and attended to a multitude of duties besides. He will ac- company the second section Wednesday to Denver. g The three Pullmans in which the En- deavorers started on their long trip ac’ the continent were attached to the regu- lar express, No. 5, for Chicago. These cars had long Streamers on them, bearing the words: “District Columbia C. E. Conven- tion,” and “Sixteenth International Con- vention,” in red and blue letters, which, on the white background of the canvas, formed the colors of the District Union. A dining car was attached at a point up the line, so that every required comfort could be provided. Chats With Friend ‘The greatest enthusiasm prevailed, which ircreased as the time for the start ap- proached. The Endeavorers who had ar- rived early and had already seated them- seives in the cars, stuck their heads out of the windows, chatted with their friends who had assembled on the platform to watch them off, and shouted words of wel- ccme to each newcomer. “Don’t forget to bring me back some souvenirs of your trip," and “Write me just as soon as ever you get there,” were the expressions most frequently heard. When the call of “All aboard!” was given, there was a bedlam of sound. Goud- byes were given and exchanged, hat were shaken, kisses wafted from one to arother by the girls, and the long journzy of over 2,80) miles had begun. ‘As the train steamed out of the station, a genuine “Chautauqua salute” with hand- kerchicis was exchanged between the tot ists and the stay-at-homes. This was con- tinued as long as the train was visible. Will Join Forces at Chicago. ‘The trip of the District delegates was ar- ranged in conjunction with that of the state of Pennsylvania delegation. ‘The lo- cal tourists will meet the representatives from the keystone state in Chicago and toxether they will finish the trip. ‘The train which left this morning will reach Chicago tomorrow morning.

Senator Pettigrew has recovered rapidly from his illlness of Saturday, but was not in his seat in the Senate today. His phy- sician insists upon his patient remaining quiet for the present, and this advice will be heeded. Senator Pettigvew has so far recovered his voice as to be able to articu- late quite distinctly, and expresses great confidence in his speédy restoration to health. Only one case similar to that of Senator Pettigrew is recalled by older employes of the Senate. That was the case of Senator Ransom several years ago. While he was addressing the Senate he was seized with a rush of blood to the heail'and could not proceed. He was taken to the cloak room, but soon recovered. CS RUMORS OF CHANGES. Reports Regarding the Higher Posi- tions in the Post Office Department. Rumors of numerous changes among the higher positions in the Post Office Depart- ment have been going about during the last few days. It has bees generally un- derstocd that these changes would be an- nounced on the first of the fiscal year. ‘The fact is the Postmaster General bas ‘been kept so busily occupied in attending to congressional callers that he has had no opportunity to consider the reorganiza- ton of the department. Anything that is done in this connection may be looked for within a reasonable time after the ad- Journment of Congress. es PRESIDENTIAL SELECTIONS, Nominations Sent to the Senate Action, The President today sent the following nominations to the Senate State—Soren Listoe of Minnesota, consul at Rotterdam, Netherlands. ‘Treasury—Henry Fink of Wisconsin, to be collector of internal revenue for the first district of Wisconsin.

G. Groesbeck of Ohio, to be assistant naval constructors in the navy. “DOCKING” - GOVERNMEN Representative Shafroth Introduces a Novel Measure. Representative Shafroth of Coiorado in- troduced in the House today a novel meas- ure, entitied a bill “‘to-encourage the eco- nomical administration of the government.” It provides that “in order that each officer and employe of the United States shall have a direct interest in the economical ad- ministration of the government, the Secre- tery of the Treasury is directed for each month the expenditures of the government are greater than the receipts to deduct and retain in the treasury from each salary in excess of $200 per month 20 per cent there- of, and from each salary under said amount 10 per cent thereof. lt further provides that in no case shall the amount so deducted be repaid unless at the end of the fiscal year the receipts for the year have exceeded the expenditures. The President and justices of the Supreme Court are the only officials exempted from the operations of the act. Exempting the Lower Grades. Representative Crumpacker of Indiana today introduced in the House a bill to ex- empt from the civil service regulations all places with salaries of $600 or Jes: ree Speaker Reed Will Not Go.

IAT THE WHITE HOUSE Another Throng at the Executive Mansion. aes THE PRESIDENT'S TRIP 10 CANTON ee A Number of Important Appoint- ments Expected. LOUISVILLE PENSION AGENT Office seekers thronged the White House as usual today, but few of them had an interview with the President. Throughout the forenoon his time was occupied by members of his cabinet and members of Congress. Among the latter who had audi- ences were Senators Frye, Lindsay, Debce and Jones of Nevada, and Representat Tayler of Ohio, Landis of Pennsylvania and Brownlow, sts of They called in the inter constituents who desired to serve their country in various capacities, About the only caller outside of official life who saw the President this morning was John A. Wise, formerly of Virginia, but now of New York. None of the gentlemen named, with the exception of Senator Frye, was with the President more than a few minutes. The President was in conference with Secretary Alger, Attorney General MeKenna and Postmaster General Gary for nearly two hours on important busines: ating to the departments they represent. During that time he denied himself to a ir busin At noon the throng in was confronted with the on the secretary's door: familiar The Pr ard sident is ocenpied with public busine-s and will not any plac receive more visitors today.” Thi announ¢ nt caused a general cxodus cn the part of the gathering that had filled the halls all the morning, and the building was comparatively deserted all the afternoon. President Going to Canton, The President and Mrs. McKinley will spend the Fourth of July at their home in Canton, Ohio. That is, they will, if state of public business will permit absence of the President from the city at that time. The purpose of the proposed visit is two-fold—the President des a the the short respite from official wares and sponsibilities, and he also desires to sp a few days with his venesable mother, whom he has not seen since her departur: from Washington shortly after the inaug- uration, Unless present plans undergo a char the President and Mrs. McKinley will leav Friday afternoon tmmediately after the ad- Journment of the ecbinet, arriving in Ca ton the next morning and remaining there until Monday evenirg, arriving in Wesh- ington Tuesday morning in time to enable the President to again join the cabinet at the next regular meeting. It ts that the trip is entirely domestic nature, and that the President de to avoid public demonstrations of all kinds. He is entitled to a short holiday, and the hope 1s expressed that the people will re- spect his wish for privacy, both at his home and along the route. It is expected that a number of important appointments in different branches of the civil service will be made before the Pres ident’s departure, incluc new solici tor general, a controller of the treasur and one or more diplomatic appointments. Opposed by the G. A. R. Among Kentuckians it is said today that a@ big fight is being made by the G. A. R. People of Kentucky against the probable appointment of Leslie Combs as pen: agent at Louisville. Mr. Combs is a young man from Lexington, but is said to have been picked out by the President and to have been indorsed at the Presi- dent’s request by Senator Dedce. Since that fact became known the G. A. R. po of Kentucky have been sending protes in large numbers to the President agains the appointment of so young a man. They claim that the position has always been given to an old soldier, and that that rule ought not to be departed from in his case. There are a number of candidates whe are ex-Union soldiers and who are promi- nent in G. A. R. ranks. Among. these are Colonel Noah Cartwright and Captain Americus Whedon, who is commander of the G. A. R., Department of Kentucky. Another candidate is I. N. Cardwell. Mr. Cardwell was here some time ago when the fight started, but went away on learn- ing that Mr. Combs would probably Le ap- pointed. He has now returned here for the purpose of aiding in the fight that is going on. Collector at Key West. It is said that President McKinley will shortly nominate Geo.

National Committeeman Long has been fighting for J. W. Horr for the collectorsmp, but the President is said to have made up his mind that he will nominate Mr, Allen. National Committeeman Long belongs to the McKinley faction of Florida, but in this case, as in several others, he is to have formed a combination with anti-McKinley forces, led by E. R. G This was displeasing to the McKin people, and they have been making a fight for their man through Mr, Stripling, who ran fcr Congress in that district last year.

Mr. Smith stated in ry 0 per cent ad valo- ponse to questions that the proposed 20 per cent ad valorem Was much greater than the Ty cents spe- citie duty, being about 4 cents pound by the ad valorem rate. Mr. Platt (Conn.) interposed the sugges- tion that he had aphed to the York custom house in reference to the Im- portation of hides, and had received an an- swer stating that the importation in the last cleven month 70,000,000 poune of the value of $7,000,000, and that the price of French green hides averaged about 19 cents a pound, and the South American hides about 5 cents.

Before beginning 1 to some general subjects, tien of Mr. Hobar* tor’s state to the vice presidency, and the inaction of the House of Representatives on the Cuban resolution. Mr. Smith spoke 3 from the sena- of the republican majority given last N vember, due in ge part, he id, to the wishes of the people of the state to pay tr © one of their own people. senator regarded it as remarkable f the national platform promises on Caba and other subjects that this extra session hac been called to pass a tariff bill, which could have been considered with be’ at the regular session, Ki x to Cuba, Mr. Smith spoke of the fact that a resolution recogniz- of the Cubans had fer remarkable ing belligerency been pascea by the Senate and sent to that catafalque or tomb, the House of Repre- sentatives, to be boris a republican House, a republican Speaker, at the dic- tation of a republican Pres It was an insult to the American people, which they would rebuke at the polls next No- vember. Mr. Smith then turned to his prepared speech, but had just begun when he paused and took his seat, not feeling equal to the task of proceeding. He said he would go on in five minutes, and in order to senator time to recuperate, Mr. Ve on with a specch against the rates. Mr. Smith remained in hi give the seat, showing no ill-cffects beyond those of slight and temporary faintness. , f Mr. reviewed the legislation on and presented a letter G. Blaine to Mr. McKi ley when the McKinley bill was being framed, protestiig against a duty on hides 1 slap in the face of the South Amert- cans, and as likely to legislate the repub- Lean party out of power. The senator argued that a duty on hides could not ad- vance the price of cattle in the west, as hides were only a bi-product of the cattle, and, moreover, the price of cattle was fiexd absolutely with the power to put the price ap or down by the Big Four combination at Chicago. The senator recalled the cir- cumstances of the senatorial inquiry into the beef trust, in which he participated. When Mr. Vest spoke of oppressive action by Mr. Armour to compel butchers to use nis dressed beef, Mr. Allen (Neb.) remark- ed that the evidence seemed sufficient for an indictment, and why, then, was not something done toward prosecution. This developed a warm controversy be- tween Mr. Hoar and Mr. Allen, as to the right of federal prosecution for an offense wholly within state lines, which at times pecame rather personal. By this time Mr. Smith's temporary faintness had passed and he resumed his speech.

Mr. Stewart argued also that if there was to be a protective tariff bill, all sec- tions should share in the advantages it gave. Incidentally Mr. Stewart paid a tribate to the Chicago platform and said he supported it throughout. Mr. Allen (Neb.) said that while not an advocate of a general protective system, yet he concurred with the view that if there was to be such a bill every section should share in the benefits it gave. He spoke of the benefits of a hide duty to the
