The Washington police engaged in the search for Haviland are making an effort to trace the wagon loaded with evergreens which passed along the read where Haviland was last seen last Thursday night. ‘There were, it 1s stated, three colored men in this wagon, and they were rather disorderly, It {4 considered as one of the possibilities that Haviland’s body, if be were Killed, might have been hauled off the road and taken to Rock creek. Officer: are ex- ploring the banks of Rock creek to-day in search of wagon tracks, ANOTHER SUPPOSED CLEW. Major Dye reevived yesterday a letter from a resident of Montgomery county stating that the night before a man in striped clothes had ap plied to his house and usked to be provided with a suit’ of clothes, __ stating that he was on his way to Phil- adelphia. That night a camp __ fire Was Seen in the woods, and It is supposed the man with the striped’ suit camped out. The Wiler supposed that this man or his compan. fons might have been concerned in making away with Haviland. No arrests,however, have escaped from the workhouse here, except. the two who escaped Monday night, ince Mr. Havi- land disappeared. It is supposed that the man who appeared in Montgomery county Monday night was one of these men. AN ABSURD STORY. Detective Block, who has been engaged in the effort to unravel the mystery, stated this after- noon that nothing new had been discovered. When asked about the story that Haviland’s | body had been bronght ‘to this city and disposed of to a medical college, he sald that the story was ridiculous, and had foundation only in the imagination of its author. No medical college, he sald, would buy a body like that without some inquiry, especially after amysterious disappearance had been reported. Clerks Who Are Tardy in Leaving. ANOTHER TREASURY DEPARTMENT ORDER WHICH CAUSES A COMMOTION. For the past fow days Treasury department elerks who left the building later than five min- utes after four o'clock in the afternoon have had to give their names to the watchman through ‘whose doors they passed. The only information Youchsafed to them was “it’s orders.” The new Tule ls supplementary to that requiring all em- ployes tobe in the building by 9 o'clock. The most likely reason 1s that it is a precautionary measure. In case there should be a theft, or anything should go wrong, it could be ascer- tained at once who were in the building after fouro’clock on that day. A Treasury clerk said toa STAR reporter: “I suppose it’s ail right, but we can't lose any time in leaving. You see we can’t begin to leave or even get ready before four o'clock. Ifa fellow keeps bis eyé on the clock and jtimps at the first strike of four he can change his cout and get out in flve minutes, provided the two thousand clerks divide up ‘and go out through different doors.” pee iiss VAGRANT Dogs IN THE Waite House Grounps,—The White House fountain, which affords winter quarters fora number of tramp dogs who burrow to the bottom of the leaves with which it is filled, was ralded by the dog- catchers the other morning. ‘The raid was care- fully planned, and the attacking party ap- proached from different directions. ‘The di were too quick, though, and emerging from dif- ferent holes before the’ men were ready, skill- fully dodged the nets thrown alter them and ran away in safety. Pursuit was useless.

A STRUGGLE For THE CONTROL OF THE SCHOOLS IN THE ANGENTINE REPUBLIC. A series of dispatches received by the Secre- tary of State from Minister Thomas 0. Osborn, at Buenos Ayres, describes an interesting episode in the nature of a struggle between church and state in the Argentine Republic the control of the normal schools, a str which soon became the dominant issue in national polities and absorbed much of the Attention of the government and the people. In the normal schools of that republic, estab- shed and Supported by the national govern- ment, many Frotestant tenchers, mostly ladies fromthe United States, are employed. On April 25, 1884, Dr. Clara, a Catholic eeciesiastic ‘and acting bishop at Cordova, issued a pastoral letter pete among other things, the sending of Catholic children to schools whete Protestant teachers were employed. The na» tional government, considering it an act of dis« respect and insubordination, took the matter up, and after che exchange of several notes be- tween the minister of education, the governot of the province of Cordova, and Dr. Clara, re- ferred it to the attorney general for his opinion. ‘The attorney general, in a long report gi inga full review ot the’ relations of the state and the church, gives the opinion that the gov- ernment which confirmed church nominations could discipline and dismiss, President Rocca accepted this opinion as sound doctrine, and issued a deoree dismissing Dr. Clara, This was followed by a sharp discussion in the press and also in Congress, where a resolution was intro- duced calling for all the correspondence. ‘Not- withstanding the decree, Dr. ra refused to accept his dismissal, and continued to exercise the functions of his priestly office. He even issued a second pastoral, in which he asserted that it was bis duty to obey instructions from Rome rather than the laws of the national gov- ernment, People. are now divided into two parties, clerical and antl-clerical. Congress passed & bill, which had been introduced at a previous session, providing that in the schools of the national capital there should be no sectarian test or teaching. In the discussion of the budget of the minister of education and wor- ship a hot debate took place on @ section relat- ing to the suppression of the seminaries for the education oF priests, and Minister De Wild made it known that the president, by withhold- ing supplies, was determined Press the question to ‘the point of separation of ohuren and state. Dr. Maitera, the apostolic delegate, anathe- matized the Normal school at Cordova, of which Miss Clara Armstrong, an American lady and a Protestant, was directress; and, hav- ing been requested by Miss Armstrong to re- move the anathema, consented on condition that she secure certain pledges from the min- ister of worship. This she attempted to do, but was shi reprimanded by the minister, who told her that {ho government employed her to teach sciences, and that Dr. Maltera had no au- thority to interfera, ‘The minister called upon Dr. Malters for an explanation of his interference with the laws and authorities of the country, and, as the faut "the aportoite delegate “his ” passports, sent the apostolic delegai sport and required him to leave ‘the country within twenty-four hours, The order was comi- lied with. 5 ” writes Mr, Osborn “It 13 quite probable, fn his last dispateh, “that the president went im & message asking congress to a call for # convention to amend “the con: stitution in order to relieve the state from thie cburch.’ ‘One of tne early incidents of the was 1 procession of move than 1000 ladles of The first iamilies of Buenos Ayres, which marched to the senate and presented a petition, signed exclusively by women, praying fot the rejestion of @ pending bill, atreudy by the lower house, which prohibited the teaching of relic.
