Wasnixaron, Oct. 22 —Saturday was the
president's busy day. Not that he is not busy
every day, but Saturday being the day upon
did adjourn, he was especially busy. He
came in from his country residence before 9
o'clock, and no sooner had be entered the
White House than messengers were hurrying
from there to the various departments for
the return of bills which had passed con
gress, but which had not yet been returned
from the departments to which they had
been referred by the president for report
These in hand, the president spent several
hours in looking over reports and attaching
his signature to bills—a most tedious task.
Fortunately he did mot find any that he
deemed it necessary to veto-——having two days
previously found thirteen which he could not
sign, and so notified congress. Hardly had
bho finished the consideration of these bills
and sent them to the capitol with his ap
proval, than the joint committes of the house
aud senate called to inform him that con
gress was ready to adjourn unless he had
some communication to impart that would
necessitate their remaining in session longer,
The president spent about fifteen minutes
with the committes, and it had bardly left
mansion before a messenger rushed up
with a resolution that had just passed both
houses, extending the time for the retention of
the government axhil site at the Cincinnati ex
position until November. This being a harm-
less resolution, Invelving no financial outlay,
and clean on its face, it was signed forthwith.
Had the signature of the executive been de
layed five minutes the measure would not
have become a law, as it had to be signed
before 1 p. m. or die. Congress had not been
adjourned five minutes before the White
House was crowded with members and sena

noon trains for home, who wished to say good

word for the reappointment during the recess
