President Cleveland Receives Offers in Cabinet Day at White House
At the White House President Cleveland entertained several callers including Mr. D. P. Cooper of The Nashville American. He invited Cooper to return at six for talks. Governor Isaac Pusey Gray, Mexico's new minister, visited in improving health and plans to travel to Indianapolis. Mrs. Cleveland hosted hundreds of callers, many arriving by appointment, others disappointed at not reaching the blue room. The Middleton place near the Woolly Lane road is slated for occupancy by month’s end, described as a spacious, elevated, oak-shaded home with views of Rock Creek. Talks with Secretary of State on South American trade aim to end discriminating duties on coffee and sugar from Venezuela, Haiti, and Colombia, with possible revocation of Harrison’s proclamation, though action may wait weeks. The Russian extradition treaty reportedly not discussed in today’s Senate session. Senate organization discussions loom as adjournment nears.
