As election day draws nigh rumors about the candidates for this high oftlco increase in number. Among those who have been very prominently mentioned is Senor Irarasavel.

She will have no use for these pretty things of silk nnd satin nud vel vet for some time to come , b it when she does make her appearance In public she is likely to take the shine off of some of the "babies on the block. " Mr. nnd Mrs. Cleveland went to Buzzard's ' Bay early in the summer. They were full of hopes then. Gray Gnblos , their country homo , is a lovely place. The house stands upon a wall with tlio water on three sides of it. Tbo nearest bouso is n milo away. They spent a very quiet summer. E. C. Benedict , the Wall street banker , had his big steam vncut , the Onoldn , anchored near the houbo the greater part of the time. Every llttlo while the Clovelands would go with Mr. Benedict on a short cruise. Nearly every day thov would see the JofTcrsons who lived two miles away , or the Gliders who llvo in Marion. Early in the summer Mr. . Cleveland would drive to Marion. The queer little town is eight miles from Gray Gables and the road is a beautiful ono. They were very fond of Mrs. Cleveland In old fashioned Marlon. But in July the drives to Marlon became loss frequent. By the 1st of August they had ceased altogether. Then Mrs. Cleveland rarely loft the grounds about Gray Gables. When Mr. Cleveland was away she would llo in tbo hammock on the broad eastern vorandu all the long summer day. " * - " The summer waned and the summer visit ors at Buzzard's Bay sought their homes in the city , but the Clevelands remained at Grav Gables. The wind began to grow chiliv. Mrs. Cleveland could only sit on the veranda for a few hours each clay. Then Mr. Cleveland sent for the family doctor to como to Buzzard's Bay. When Dr. Joseph D. Bryant arrived in Buzzard's bay ho directed that Mrs. Cleve land return to Now York. So Mra. Cleveland's ' llttlo blondo-mus- tnchod butler was sent to Now York to got the beautiful homo at 810 Madison nvenuo ready for the homo coming. It was thought wiser to make the Journey in Mr. Benedict's vaunt. A week ago last Monday the Or.olda loft her anchor-ago in front of Gray Gnblos. She steamed along very carefully , nnd it , wns about noon the next day when she anchored in the East river oft Twenty-sixth street. Airs. Cleveland was placed in the Naptha launch and taken ashore. A close carriage was awaiting. The coachman picked his way alonsc the crowded streets. No ono had overseen Mr. Cleveland so nervous as ho was that day. The city home of tho.Clovolands is at 810 Madison avenue. The exterior Is u mingling ot * Moorish and English designs. It is of pressed yellow brick , with broad stone trim mings. It has four stories nnd abasement. Mrs. Cleveland designed all the furnishings. The floors are of hardwood , upon which Ho rich rugs. The furniture in the hulls is Moorish and in the library Spanish. The drawing room Is finished in the rich , grace ful French stylo. The house abounds In odd and charming llttlo corners , which Mr. Clove- laud calls snuggeries. The lower floor is devoted to a reception room and the dining'room. On the .second lloor nro the drawing rooms , the library and the sitting and living room. The library is In the rear. The windows look out upon Central park. The chambers nro on the third floor , Mrs. Cleveland's boudoir fronts upon Madison avenue. The homo-coming was unheralded. There was no ono in front of the house to too them. As tha carnage drove up the butler opened the door. Mr. Cleveland gave his wlfo his arm. They walked slowly Into the houso. The doctor said It was not wise to lot people know of their return , and so the curtains In the lower part of the house have all boon kept closely drawn. Mrs. Cleveland was In seclusion. The crowd that passed that quiet house never dreamed of the anxiety which lurked behind the heavy curtains that guarded the windows. Then were preparations , all those delicate and exact llttlo arrangements to bo made which make women whisper together when they are alono. But the big mansion pre served a sphynx like silence about these things. During the past two days these who noticed closely saw that when tto wind blew aside the curtains which bang in the two broad windows on the second lloor , now and then , they could catcli sight of the square shoulders of Mr. Cleveland. During the greater part of Thursday and Saturday ho sat there. Dr. Bryant cave a dinner at his homo In Thirty-sixth strcot. The dinner had been planned a number of days before. ' 1 here wcro a number of professional and other people of ante there. Tbo guests had finished their dinner nnd were smoking tholr cigars. It was after 0 o'clock , A messenger cnmo to the doOr and rang the bell Imperatively. Ho demanded to # co the doctor at onco. Whan thn doctor returned to his guests ho excused himself , saying in a bored sort of a way that it was a professional call and thut ho must RO at once , Not to a single guest privately did ho explain what the call was , Straight to the Cleveland mansion Dr. Bry > ant went. They were awaiting him anx iously , Mr , Cleveland was banished to the library. "It's a Rlr ) , " they ald. "Mrs. Cleveland Is all right. " Ho took It very quietly , simply * nylng "Thank you. " Tbo littloglrl wns born exactly at 12:00 : Saturday morning. Just' before daylight the mother fell asleep. The glad news could bo kept no longer. Mr. Cleveland must share bis Joy. The butlur glided out of the house with yellow clips of paper. Different telegrams to rela tives and Intimate friends. The news was fclow In reaching the w > rld ut largo because U bad boon so carefully guarded , Hours olapscd before It reached the bu y people , who were so anxious to near It.

The French claims nt Wuhu nro al ready settled and others will bo amicably adjusted soon. Treaty powers , however , nnd It more dlfllcult to porsundo China to open Hunan nt the tlmo when so many na- lions are following the example of tha United States In their treatment of China. China Is too weak to protest eftcctlvely against bad treatment of her sub jects , but the conduct of the Americans , who bavo shown hopolcss Incapacity in doulity with the Chinese , has not bocn observed with Indifference , Only the other day Li Hung Chang sanctioned the proposal of the Chinese consulate ut San Frui.clsco to trans fer nil the Chinese coolie.s in Ami'rlon to the gold mines In the Amur district.
