Mr. Clovoland did not say so, but I in forrod from what ho did pay that ho haa dotormlncd to suffer himself to ho lesa annoyed by tho ofllco seekers than ho was during hia first term. Tho president elect haa had enough experience in tho Whlto Houao to convince him that tho day ia nt hand when nonio sort of a revo lution must bo effected in tho methods of tho presidential ofllco. I havo always contended that wo have outgrown our system. Every president during tho last 90 years hna realized that. It is folly for tho chlof executive of this great nation, tho controller of ita policies mid director of its affairs, to permit his mental and physical strength to bo consumed by tho minor ofllcea and tho hucksters in ofllco. I havo a notion that Mr. Cleveland has dotormlncd to make an effort to effect during hia coming administration some part of tho chango which has become an tniperntho necessity. Ho is in better po sition to do this than most of our presi dents havo been. Ho cannot aspire to another term. Ho is independent and to a certain extent solf willed. Ho cer tainly tins tho courage to do whatever he thinks ought to bo done. Therefore I fancy Mr. Cleveland will do that which General Harrison ia sorry ho didn't do at tho beginning of his term, and that is to turn over to hia ministers the many thousands of minor appoint ments. I predict that about two moutha henco, when tho politicians want to see Mr. Clovoland about a small postmaster ship, they will be told to go tho postmas ter general. When they want to run into tho Whlto House and discuss col factorships, tlioy will find tho door barred and some one thoro to give them a hint that tho secretary of tho treasury la the man to settle that business. Mr. Cleveland haa 1m?cii working al most as hard in hia ofllco in the Mills building, Now York, as if ho were al ready in the presidential chair. A for eigner would have been astonished to find amid such surroundings and follow ing such simple methods the man who writ about to ascend tho thronoof ono of tho ,Teatest natlona of tho earth. You go to Mr. Cleveland's ofllco just aa yon would go to tho oflkfc of any other pros perous1 lawyer in Now York. In tho hall is a desk, and by this desk stands n small but intelligent boy. Ho presonts to you a blank on which you writo your nanio, tho namo of tho mem ber of tho firm you wish to seo for Mr. Clovoland has several partners and tho naturo of your business. Tho boy takes this blank in, and presently returns with word that "Mr. Cleveland will seo you in u few minutes." When yon aro ushered in tho room of tho presi dent elect, you find yourself in a very largo apartment, at tho farther end of which, behind a big desk, sits tho great man. Ho says, "How aro your" in a ijood, bluff American Btylo, extends his hand, knocks some papers off a chair to mako room for you and squares himself around for a nice, comfortable talk. Mr. Clovoland bus a way of closing his eyes for a moment whllo thinking how ho shall turn n sentenco, and when ho is in tho humor for it ho is very dry and droll. Ho is a great cross questioner, too, and under his doft manipulation it did not tako mo long to toll how much or how littlo I know. That's tho way ho treats every ono, I am told pumps thorn dry and gives up mighty littlo himself. And ho could tell such interesting things if ho wanted tot Well, I told Mr. Cloveland I was sorry for him, and ho wantod to know why. I said because ho had takon such a hard job for tho noxt four years. Whou you como to think of it, his task is a dif ficult ono. I bcliovo I was entirely right in saying that ho has a harder row to hoo than any prcsldont lias had sinco Lincoln. To begin with, ho has his administra tion to organize IIo is tho instrument which is to turn ono political party out and put another in. Besides Clovoland himself, General Harrison is tho only president sluco Lincoln who hna had this to do, all tho others succeeding presidents of their own political faith. Consider tho magnitude of this undertaking for a moment, and you will aeo what a ho.uvo of worry and work it is. Thero aro the big bureau ofllcea of tho government, llkn nnnsinu iiiiilsHloner, public print' w i " " x" r, cointiilnRtoiar of pntontu, oto. Thoro ia a host of rowlfltnnt nocrotnrleii mnl auditors.

All these. Aspirants aro in a hurry, and all thosonn tora mid representatives tiro cagor to gut tholr inon to tho front as nulokly as possible. With them it ia not "Conn' oarly and avoid tho ruali," but "Got in early or you'll novor Kt 1" -" All roads lead to tho Whlto Houao. Kvory IkihrIIiIo nvoiiuo by which itilluuiico may bo brought to boar la worn Hinooth. No ono Ih satisfied to see tho cabinet ofllcor in whoso ilopartiiiont tho business belongs. Your luiHtlliur, pushing American citizen nlwaya wants to gOHtralKht to hoathiuar tora. Mr. Clovoland may try as much as ho llkea to save himself tlinonndannoyanco, but ho can only mitigate tho evil; ho can not roinovo it. Tho nyatom baa grown np with tho government, and it cannot bo put down in u day. If tho proaldunt had 100 ears, 50 brains and aa many apiuul columns, mid thero wero 2,100 houra in etoad of 21 in tho day, ho would atlll lw wornout ovory night when ho seeks rest on hia pillow. Many and many n tlmo, I fancy, Mra. Cleveland will Hud it nocoHaary long after midnight to go to her husband'fl room and coax him oil to bed in order to prevent him killing himself with over work. Sho used to havo to do that when "ho was mistress of tho White Houao and when tho demauda on her husband' onorgiea wero not nearly ao great aa they will bo in a fow weeks. Tho constant tendency against which Mr. Cleveland has to struggle in tho performance of his dutiea aa president ia that against which I iTfii Z : Z. ::: , ZL catching up at night with tlmo lost dur-1 ing tho day. i If a president spends all Ida houra of I tho day listening to callers, consulting I with tho members of Ida cabinet, dictat-1 Ing letters and attending to tho routine I of his ofllco, when is ho to find time for I consideration of tho questions of state i which aro over demanding attention? j When la ho to study complex problems, look up authorities and records and i "prepare his case" with earn and dollb-1 oration, aa a good lawyer lovoa to do?

If Mra. Cleveland doca her duty in tho next administration and I think sho will sho will watch Grover with a zealous oyo and yank him off to !od at tho llrat algn of overwork. Mr. Cleveland will have much tempta tion to alt up with tho midnight lamp. Look at tho mighty questions id ready pressing forward and sure to harass him lu the early days of hia administration! Thero is tho silver question, on which Mr. Cleveland has somo positive views, and which, ho thinks, must bo settled im mediately in order to avert danger of panic. Thoro ia tho ever increasing friction with England arising from tho Canadian, tho seal and other fish eries, and now tho Hawaiian ''"' tious. Tliero is tuo Mcuragua ca- i nal matter, which may involve us in complications with several Euro ean powers, and of course tho tariff queatiou now mixed up with tho difficulty of finding enough revenue with which to carry on tho government must lw speedily determined. Theso nro only a fow of ninny very iniimrtant matters i with which tho now president must deal. What now questions fully aa Important nnd possibly moro portentous if for eign war may arise at any moment no ono can say. But I am quite sure that Mr. Cleve land's pathway ia not to bo strewn with the rones of ease and leisure.

"Southward tho star of American capital and enterprise takes its way." This is not exactly what Iloraco Greoloy said, but it is just as truo. Gradually American capitalists aro acquiring con trol of tho railroads of Mexico. The latest reported Is tho Mexican Northern Paclfio railroad, from Doming, N. M., to Guaymas, Moxico. Actlvo operations will bo immediately begun for tho con struction of tho road from Doming to Corralltos, a distauco of 1U0 miles, Tho entire lino whon completed will Ik 1,-100 miles in longth. Attached to tho concession is n colonization project, under which tho now management pro ' poses to introduce into the country tov I ernl thousand Swedes nr.d Norwegiane during tho present year. j i wtrw v.. i VkBM v Miyk.i m Vl?mat aMU iK III I ' rF7 mlyjcwM 'mi'4 YPXTTf ASIATIC EMBASSIES.

Tho wife of the minister, who haa a naiuo unpro nounceable and unwritable, ia called by tho in'tiplu In Washington Mmo. Tsui. Sho never attends any of tho social ftttic- MJin. TSUI. tlona, novor receives callers and novor goes out unlesa sho la closely attended. Thoro was at ono tlmo a rumor in Wash ington that this lady waa not tho bead wlfo of tho minister; that that favored p? " "!! in.o m ci,m Chinese mandarin ia allowed to have more than one wife. But it ia tho first woman ho marries who ia recognized in Chinese society. Tho others tiro sort of official wives. Mine. Tsui, however, I found most In teresting. It waa through tho courtesy of tho first secretary that I waa allowed to see her. Sho camo down to the par lor attended by the Interpreter, two of tho secretaries and tho wife of one of the secretaries, Mine. Wang. Sho was arrayed in all her Mongolian splendor. Her petti , ",,,, 'J s "'' J ; satin worn in or coat of whlto silk waa heavily embroid- A sort of tunic of black this had nlso a heavy border of embroidery. Her alcoves wuro of whlto china silk, very full and ery fine. Her feet wero in embroidered satin shoes that wero certainly not moro than 2 inches long, and tho stockings just visible above them seemed to bo of solid gold thread. Her straight black hair waa worn brushed up from tho forehead and ornamented with many gulden pins. Thia coiffure waa fearfully and wonder fully made and must havo coat some body a deal of time and patieuoo. Her hands wero very plump and pret ty Upon tho tirst finger of each sho wore a mystical looking ring ono of ' gold filagree, sot with a largo catsoyo, 'and tho other a huge blood red stono that resembled n carbuncle. I was told i tlint this luilv waa considered n L-rent beauty in China. Her eyes aro black aa sloea, and tho corners of them have n de cided downward curve. Her mouth ia red and full, and her complexion ia a clear olive tint. Tho breadth of tho faco juat b low tho eyes la not according- to tho Ei ropean standard of beauty, but tliis, I am told, Is what renders her such a very great beauty in China. Sho wore huge ornaments in her ears, but they wero held on by gold springs. Her ears wero not pierced. Mine. Tsui does not speak ono word of English, but she talked very readily to the interpreter. I asked her how alio liked this country. Sho replied guard edly: "It is very well. All countries aro verv well to those who live In them." 1 said: "Do you not think that the wom en of America ha o much moro freedom and independenco than they havo in your country? And do you not think that their condition is much uotter nnd hap pier?" Tho Interpreter propounded my question in tho queer, choppy language of China. Tho wifo of tho minister looked down nt her plump hands nnd then at tho tips of her little shoes. Then sho looked at tho secretary's wifo, who smiled, then, looking back to me, sho made answer: "Your country has ita customs, and my country lias ita cus toms also. It is not for mo to say which is best." Tho secretary chipjied hia hands, or rather ho rubbed them together in a pleased way and laughed, ns ho said in MME. WANQ. very good English, "Is sho not a true dlplomnt?" Tho littlo woman seemed utterly unconscious that sho had mado a clover remark. , I asked her if sho would not liko to attend tho receptions in Washington and tho balls. I thought sho looked a littlo wistful for a moment, but sho answered readily enough: "It is not tho custom of my country. Wo do not danco, and I do not understand Eng lish, and I know nothing of American manners. I think it is better that I stay at homo." Then 1 asked her how she passed her time. This seemed to inter est hei. Sho took up tho border of her DlacK sattu tunlo and held it toward mo, lenktiig eagerly in Cliineso. Sho seemed to forgot for the moment that I could not understand her. "Sho says," explained tho interpreter, "that rIio did this embroidery herself, and that she does a great deal of em broidery. Shomakosher baby's clothes." Then I asked to seo tho baby, and aftoi como consultation it waa brought down, It resembled nothing so much aaa funny littlo brown doll. It squinted at me through Ita littlo allta of eyes and puck ered ita faco into n grimace, which the fond mother called a smile. 1 saw the ladiea of tho Chlueso em bassy a day later out for their walk. They wero veiled and closely attended. They went down to tho Central market, which seems to havo a great attraction for them. Tho two younger women seemed quite giddy. They gathered up a handful of potatoes from one of tho market stalls and iclted each other with them. Mmo. Tateno, wlfo of tho Japanese minister, is a very different typo of a woman. Not only does alio attend all the social afTaira In Washington, but sho enjoys them keenly. She joined her husband a year ago last whiter, in tho middle of tho season, and made quite a sensation. Not that tliero was anything sensational about tho lady. It waa be cause there waa not that tho peoplo wero surprised. Sho has tho eyes, and the complexion, and the shining black hair of the Japanese women. But that la all. Her dresses all come from 1'nri, and they wero sent from that city to Mine. Tntono'a homo in Japan, and alio wore tho pamo dainty creations of Worth nnd Felix long before alio ever dreamed of coming to America. Mr. Tateno, too, was well acquainted with broadcloth evening suits while yet ho was governor of tho province of Osaka, mid ho long ago discarded Jap anese headgear for tho Parisian silk hat. Mine. Tateno speaks very good English. Sho replied to my questions with somo amusement. "Society is not n new thing to me," sho said, "and tho habits and customs as well aa tho clothes of England and America have been quite extensively adopted in Japan. We are n progressive people," sho said. ".Since our young men havo begun to look at tho world over high collars and getting en gaged to Boston girls wo havo lost much of our old world simplicity." Mine. Tntono'a chief Impression of thi3 country la that It ia big. Tho houses are big, the peoplo aro big, and, more than all, alio ia impressed with the bigness of tho railroad cars. Sho crossed tho con tinent from San Francisco in a Pullman sleeper, and her conversation proved tlint she waa very observant all tho way. "Tho cHinato of Japan ia not warm," alio said, "but almost tho samo aa that of Washington." The Lome of the Japnneso legation is much more modern than that of tho Chinese. It ia very tastefully and hand- 6& MMR. TATENO. I imagine, as far as somely furnished. ono may jtnlgo from outward appear I anccs, that Mr. Tateno ia very wealthy. 'llio tirat secretary, Mr. batio. ia ono of tho most cultivated men in Washington. IIo is a thorough gentleman and learned scholar. Mmo. Ye, tho littlo wifo of the Corean clmrgo d'affaires, ia a tiny woman. Sho, too, goes about n great deal. At homo and on tho street sho dresses liko an American, but at all affairs of stato sho appears in tho costumo of her country, which consists of an odd little short waist and straight scant skirt, with a ; wide sash tied round her waist just un der her arms. Upon her head sho wears a littlo round red cap with a button. Sho looks liko a child and is said to bo ; under 20 years of ago. Sho, too, speaks English, but was very much discouraged about it when sho first began to study Sho pronounces her words with great precision and very slowly. Sho never admits that sho fails to understand Eng lish words. When anything is said to her that sho docs not comprehend, sho invariably an swers, "I do not know." Somotlmes tho answer is apropos and sometimes not. Sho ia quito averse to boing writ ten nlxmt and hna refused all interviews. Sho ia inclined to bo quito indignant when any ono expresses a desiro to write ulxmt her. Sho ia unable to understand why her privato and persona! affairs should interest tho world at largo. I asked her if sho liked this country '"tter than her own. She answered v.di a shako of her head and an uncompromis ing "No." And when I asked her why, ho said, "I do not," and whon I pressod her with f urthor questions sho puckorcd up her littlo red mouth in a de cisive manner nnd said, "I do not," and I was unablo to mako her say any thing further. Mmo. Yo is a very diligent student. Sho spends six hours of each day In hor study. Two lady teachers aro employed for her all the time. Sho Is fond of riding nnd fond of walking and fond of visiting, but sho is not fond of talking, particularly when her listener is any ono who Is likely to writo about hor. Tho Corean nnd Japanese ladles aro very good friends, but tlu.ro is no inter course whatever between them ami thilr Ohlnebo neighbors.

Potter Palmer and her associates on tho board of lady managers. When tho na tional commission, after tho board had been brought into existence by act of congress, undertook to prescribe its spe cific dutiea, it laid down the general rule that tho ladies themselves should havo full charge and management of till inter ests of women in connection with tho exposition. This is what might bo re garded as n scope at once broad and com prehensive, for tho "general Interest" of tho tens of thousands of women that Chicago expects and hopes to welcome and entertain between now and Christ maa cannot by any possibility bo con fined within tho limits of Jackson park. Ample provision for tho education, en lightenment and entertainment of tho sex has been made through tho plana adopted for tho Women's and Children's buildings, to say nothing of tho special attractions of particular interest to wom ankind that will have a place in tho other structures; but something, it was held, should bo officially done to Insuro for tho expected great army of women especially those that might bo classed us "industrial workers," wago earners and working girls, or students, teachers and others engaged in various professions the benefits and advantages of good, clean, safe homes at reasonable rates. How thia aim might bo accomplished was a question to which tho ladies gavo prolonged thought and consideration. Tho views and advico of influential friends of the movoments beneficial to women wero sought anil given, and as a result camo tho formation of tho Wom an's Dormitory Association of tho Colum bian Exposition. While tho funds for this enterprise havo been contributed from outside sources aa a matter of pure necessity, for tho board proper haa uso for every dollar appropriated to its treas ury, yet at tho wnno timo it regards and designates tho dormitory enterpriso as an auxiliary. Among those who aro prominently working in ita behalf and identified with tho active management aro such women aa Misa Frances Willard and Mra. Ma tilda D. C.irse, who have blessed human ity by their work in connection with tho Women's Christian Temperance union; Mra. James A. Mulligan, widow of tho famous soldier who g.ivo his life for his country on the field of battle; Mrs. James R. Dcplittlo, widow of tho only son of Wisconsin's venerable ex-senator; Mrs. Charles Henrotin, tho better half of tho noted Chicago banker and consul for tho Belgian enipiro; Mrs. General A. L. diet lain, Mrs. Helen M. Barker and Mrs. Ben C. Truman, names all of which aro familiar to those, interested in movo ments beneficial to women. Tho rooms of tho hotel will bo fur nished with comfartnblo beds and toilot conveniences, nnd tho structure will bo divided into sections, each presided ovor by n refined and motherly woman, who will oxerciso a watchful care over un protected girls, whether thoy como nlono or aro part of a group. Tho rnto for ac commodations will bo a remarkably low ono. Largo numbers of working women nnd girls havo subscribed for shares of ttock, which are to be taken in payment of the bills incurred for accommodations, and to theso tho rnto per day, so it is es timated, will'not exceed 40 cents. Tho stto selected Is within a fow stones' throw of tho exposition entrance, nnd tho struc ture will bo in readiness for tho enter tainment of guests before tho 1st of May. Very much on tho same principlo and practically under tho samo auspices is tho Family Dormitory association. Most of tho Indies already mentioned are iden tified also with this enterpriso, while to tho list may bo added such names as those of Mrs. General Logan, Mrs. Gcorgo M. Pullman and Mrs. J. II. MoVickor. Tho family domicilo will bo to women witli childron what tho other structure is to tho lono woman, savo that malo heads of families will bo acceptable as guests, provided only that they havo their fam ilies with them. In this way husband.1 and wives, broth ers nnd sisters, widows and widowers, with their littlo onea, mny bo housed eco nomically and comfortably under tho samo roof. Both of thoso enterprises will go far toward dispelling any idoa among people of moderate or slendor means tlint their financial condition will not permit of a visit to tho World's fair and a wrestle with the exorbitant prices that aro supposed in popular estimation to be the natural concomitants of such an event.
