Ameri- can etiquette is good enough for him and also for the Infauta Eulalie, if her smiling and handsome face is an index of her feelings. The Infanta was met at the depot by Secretary Gresham, who as the President's personal repre- sentative welcomed the nation’s guest and her party and conducted then un- der escort of two troops of U. 8. Caval- | ry tothe elegant quarters which had | been prepared for them. Mrs. Cleve- land and the cabinet ladies returned the call which the Infanta and her party paid to the White House, and to-morrow evening the President and Mrs. Cleveland will give a state dinner at the White House in her honor, which will probably be Mrs. Cleve- land’s last public appearance until af- ter the interesting event which is ex- pected in July. This week Princess Eulalie will go to New York, and from there direct to the World's Fair. The Infanta comes to America as the per- sonal and official representative of the Queen Regent _of Spain, who was in- vited by Congress to visit the United Btates during the Columbian Exposi- tion. The Infanta apparently has none of the top-loftical notions which the Spanish minister has so industri- ously been trying for several weeks to make Washington people believe were On the contrary she appears to be a very sensible little woman, and she distinet- ly says that she wishes to be entertain- | ed in American style. She met many | old friends here, among them Rever- end Dr. Curry, who was minister to Spain during the first Cleveland ad- ministration, and whom the Princess met with an affec- tionate kiss on custom in Spain among relatives and close friends. “It seems a little queer,” said one of a group of democrats who were discus- sing the appointment of a new public | printer, which is now daily looked for, | “that the South has only put forward | one candidate for this position, which | is, in my estimation, the most impor- tant place below the cabinet under the | government, and which has never, I believe, been filled by asouthern man.” It is queer, but it is the fact, and if Mr. John P. Murphy, of Knoxville, Tenn., the sole southern candidate, was as strongly backed by Congressmen from | the other southern states as he is by | those from his own state he would | probably secure the prize.

Secretary Herbert has requested the commandent to report at once whether any position or positions now filled can be dispensed with, and whether any person now employed is incom pe- tent or inefficient from any cause whatever. A similar request will prob- ably be made of the commandants at all the government navy yards, There is to be a big discharge at the end of the present fiscal year from the General Land Office, owing to the cut made in the appropriation by Con- gress, Bixty-eight clerks in the classi- fled service and thirty-nine special agents will sever their connection with Uncle Sam's business on the 30th of June, unless they ean before that time get transferred to some other branch of the service. In order to avoid the pressure by the friends of the clerks in that bureau it has been decided that the dismissals shall be made solely on the records of the clerks. Secretary Herbert has deprived the Nicaragua Canal Co. of iw chief engi- neer by ordering Civil Engineer Mone ocal, who has been working for the Canal Co., for about four years, to re- turn to duty.
