THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

An Associated Press telegram reports President Cleveland as saying that he— Felt it to bo an absolute necessity that he should in every case request those cities which proposed to send delegations to Washington conveying invitations to visit them on his Western trip to forego that formality and forward their communications by mail. He has a full appreciation of the cordial spirit which prompts such courtesy, and which is most gratifying, but it seems to him unnecessary that such journeys, for such a purpose, at this heated season of the year, should be undertaken. It is probable he will leave here the last day of September and go direct to St. Louis, aud from there to Kansas City, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Nashville, and Atlauta. The St. Louis and Atlanta dates being fixed, it will not be practicable to deviate much from this programme. The journey will be made by .the ordinary route of travel between the cities named, and the disposition of the President will be to see as much of the country and the people on his route as will be consistent with limited time and positive engagements. Secretary Fairchild has directed the anticipation of the interest on the public debt duo September 1 and January 1 with 2 per cent, rebite.
