Platt is in the city, accompanied by Mr. A. Baxter, of Elmira. He wants another New York appointment He wants Mr. Baxter for United States marshal for the northern district of New York. There are five or six candidates for the office in the field, and quite a contest between them. But Mr. Baxter has the support of Senator Hi cock and Representative Flood, of his district, as wellas that of Mr. Platt, Senator Evarts has a candidate of his own for the place, but it is thought Platt will secure it for his friend. Mr. Ovide Musin, the violinist, called upon the President to-day and invited him to attend the concert this evening. Mr, Harrison prom- ised to come and bring Mrs, Harrison. Commissioners Douglass and Hine made their first official call, and were pleasantly re- ceived. THE REMAINING DISTRICT APPOINTMENTS. There is very good authority for the state- ment that the appointments to the remaining District offices will not be made before the fall, ‘The marshalship may be made an_ exception, but it is expected that that will be delayed with the rest.

Whi ive tariff has been ac- y to the development of , and has accordingly been indicated as the basis of the presidential policy, there is another most important issue, ‘The rights and privileges granted to all eitizens under the Constitution must be protected, and. hav if need be. their proper observance enforced in all sections of the country, before material de- velopment can succeed. I believe President Harrison appreciates these facts, and I think the colored race is favorably impressed with the administration, Mr. Harrison evidently in- tends to deal fairly and justly by the colored element of the party ‘and ‘by the race in general. The recent appointments of Messrs, ‘Townsend and Lynch are excellent. These I know personally. Iwo other colored republi- cans have also been appointed to important places, and I presume they will be equally as satisfactory. ‘This isa good beginning, and an earnest of friendly appreciation of so impor- tant a political factor.

A delegation from the Woman’s national press association, composed of Mrs. Lincoln, Mrs, Sherwood and Mrs. Isabella T. Hopkins, called on Secretary Halford this afternoon. They had been at the State department where Secretary Blaine had listened to them as they asked for the appointment of the son of Olive Logan Sykes to one of the minor English con- sulates. Blaine spoke in the most complimentary terms of the literary and political work of Olive Logan, and assured the delegation that their plea would have due weight. It is gen- erally believed that the appointment be made in a few days, Mr. E. W. Fox, of the Washington Press, had sha a lengthy interview with Secretary Hal- ford.

MANY APPLICATIONS FOR OFFICR RECEIVED—A MEETING OF THE NEW BOARD—CONSIDERING THE ASSIGNMENT OF BUSINESS—WHAT WILL PROBABLY BE DONE. The new District Commissioners had many callers this morning. Mr. Douglass found on his desk when he came a large bunch of roses sent by some friend. When Mr. Hine came he was accompanied by ex-Commissioner Wheat- ley, who remained some time arranging some matters which were pending when the change of oftice was made. Among the callers on the Commissioners were some who are pushing the claims of applicants for offices. Many applica- tions fre coming in and are being heaped up on Mr. Douglass’ desk. Commissioners Douglass and Hine left their offices early in the day and going to the White House made a call on the President, to pay their respects and inform the President that they had assumed the duties of their oftices and were ready for business. ‘The President tol4 them that he would be glad to have them visit him and consult him whenever they deemed it advisable to do so. ASSIGNMENT OF DUTIES. The board at its session this afternoon is con- sidering among other things the distribution or assignment of duties among the Commis- sioners. Itis probable that an order will be issued soon announcing the assignment of various departments of the District government to different Commissioners. Mr. Hine said before the board went into session that he thought the assignment would be substantially the same as that under which the retiring Commissioners worked, Mr, Douglass assuming charge of the departments administered by Mr. Webb, and Mr. Hine taking up the dutiés performed by Mr. Wheatley. THE ONLY CHANGE in the duties of the District Commissioners was the transfer of the property clerk’s office from Commissioner Hine to Major Raymond, THE LATE COMMISSIONERS’ ACCOUNTS. Auditor Petty and his corps of assistants are busy closing the accounts of the old board of Commissioners preparatory to covering into the Treasury all the moneys on hand. As here- tofore stated in Tue Srar this would, under ordinary circumstances, have caused considerable délay in paying off the employes, but a plan has been devised whereby payments will be made the first or second of June. which will not be more than four or five days beyond the usual date of payment, which is the 28th of each month. The “covering in” of the money usually occu, ten days or two weeks, then requisition is made by the new board, after which the old rolls are audited and the checks drawn. Instead of waiting, as here- tofore, for the money to be advanced before drawing the checks the auditor has determined to have the rolls audited and the checks drawn complete except as to date, and then immedi- aicly upon ascertaining that the requisition of the new board has been honored the checks will be datéd and paid out. THE POST-OFFICE — COMMISSION, Commisssioner Tanner Argues Against the Use of the Pension Court. The commission appointed by Postmaster- General Wanamaker to investigate the ques- tion of a snitabie building for the city post- ofice held the second mecting yester- dey at the pension building. All the members were present with the exception of Mr. Windrim, the supervising architect of the Treasury department. The members of the commission examined the court of the building as to its fitness for the use of the post-office, The commissioner of pensions, Mr. ‘Tanner, who is a member of the commission pointed out that the occupation of the court would interfere with the work of his office, as the space there would b eded tor the portion of the clerical force now in the upper floogs during the heated term. The other members of the commission were inclined to ag with Mr. Tanner. ‘The next meeting of the commission will be held to-morrow.

The bright morning light shone through the stained glass windows of Epiphany church this morning and rested in softened radiance upon adistinguished gathering of the clergy and laity of the Protestant Episcopal church. The occasion was the annual convention of the dio- cese of Maryland, which includes the parishes of Maryland (excepting the Eastern Shore) and the District of Columbia. The clergy assem- bled before 10 o'clock in the Sabbath-school room inthe rear of the church, when, having robed, they proceeded in procession around the outside of the church to the main entrance, escorting Bishop Paret. As they entered the church and marched up the maia aisle the choir rendered a processional. At the altar step the line of white-robed clergy paused, aud the ranks dividing, the bishop passed through and ascended the altar. THE OPENING SERVICES. The services were conducted by Bishop Paret, who was assisted by Rev. Dr. Leonard, Rev. A. 8. Johns, Rev. Mr. Murphy, Rev. Mr. Phelps, Rev. W. C. Butler, and Rev. Mr. Johnson, The sermon was delivered by Rev. W. C. Butler, of Leland, Prince George county, Maryland, whose theme was *-The Power of the Holy Ghost.” It was a scholarly discussion of this important subject, and was heard with close attention by the large congregation. The religious services closed with the administration of communion, ‘The procession of the clergy was again formed and proceeded back to the robing room. A PATHETIC INCIDENT. One incident in the service had a pathetic interest, The bishop offered special prayers for the sick, and in the hearts of many iu the audience the reference was made peremey, to the son of Rev. Dr. McKim, the rector of Epiphany church. Yesterday Dr, McKim re- ceived the sad intelligence that his son, who is a student of medicine in Vienna, was seriously ill with peritonitis. The father started at once for Europe, and was not present to welcome the members of the convention tahis church. THE CONVENTION WAS CALLED TO ORDER by Bishop Paret, immediately upon the conelu- sion of the religious services, The roll of the clerical and lay delegates was called by the sec- retary, Rev. Peregrine Wroth. The names of clergyman who are members of the convention were printed in yesterday's Stan, with a list of the lay delegates from this city. Rev, Mr. Wroth was re-elected secretary, and Mr. John T. Mason was named as assistant soc- retary, It was decided that an adjournment for half an hour at 1 o'clock should be taken gach day for lunch, and an adjournment at 5 until 8 o'clock for dinner, At1 o'clock a recess was taken and the members of the convention were entertained at lunch furnished by the ladies of the congregation of Epiphany church in the Sabbath school room.

Bishop Paret began his address by stating that his work during the past week was some- what interrupted by his absence from the dio- cese for nearly two months in attendance at the Lambeth conference in England. In speak- ing of thisconference he said that it was a mecting of the representatives of the various national and colonial churches, which on the great lines maintained by the church of England, while rejecting the corruptions and usurpations of,the church of Rome,hold fast to the fixed things of Catholic antiquity in faith and worship and sacraments and discipline, ‘The bishop stated that he had ited 115 of the churches and chapels in the diocese, and hoped during the summer and autumn to visit all the rest. In this work he preached 121 times, delivered 97 addresses and confirmed 1,854 person The number contirmed is not as large i long al num! The con rch, he said, iu this settled diocese, as others, is falling. or rather has IN INTO A WRONG IDEA and habits of church work. It has lost, he thought. the agressiveness, the seeking, the in- . the winning, the compeliing to come in, which stood foremost in the Lord’s command when he sent out his first apostles. In the cities the church seems to do little more than who are already in it, and re- ccive quietly thos ly eck it, There are ms who not cou- ing ontof church fashi he i much to these, There may be few efforts made to ch the multitude of irreligious outside of the church, but at the best efforts are limited, We d to preach what used to be have almost cea IVE CHURCH PRINCI "ig He deprecated the delay in contirming per- sons, and thought that it should not be the aim to train them to all knowledge and godliness first, and then baptize and confirm. Put bap- tism and confirmation at the very beginning, and through them reach the deeper earnest- ness, He urged the clergy to be bolder, more aggressive, to go after the neglectful and bring them in. He advised them not to be afraid of the charge of proselyting. URGING MORE ACTIVE WORK AMONG THE COLORED PEOPLE. Of the whole number of persons confirmed, the bishop said, only eighty-five were colored people, He said that of the 967,000 persons in the diocese some 250,000 are colored people, and the question must force itself upon all, as to whether the church was doing its duty fairly by the colored people. He, presented this matter simply as a Christian pastor's duty. and not for sentiment or consideration of political or social relations, He urged greater activity in this particular. He was amazed and disheartened not so much at the church's failure to win re- sults a3 at the almost entire failure to make any earnest effort; at the cold neglect and almost entire indifference with which the mat- ter is treated. to the negro, nor do I think it is every one's duty. Their race instincts insist on their separ- ate gatherings. But every sman can include them and their needs in his own conscience of personal pastoral duty, and every rector and congregation can make an annual offering for the work on its larger scale.” A SPECIAL CLASS OF THEOLOGICAL STUDENTS. The bishop spoke of the starting in Septem- ber next of a special class of theological students at the Whittingham library adjoining his residence, and said that a number of well geen clergymen have promised their aid. ix or seven promising students are enrolled, few of whom would have been reached in any other way. He asked the empathy of the clergy in this work and contributions to the fund for theological education. He wanted provided for at $300 yearly asked the convention to a] “The clergy cannot all preach | that the church was not doing one-third of the mssion work in Maryland that lays easily within their power.

He said that if the rectors want to do it, if their hearts are in it, they can both vote and raise for dio- cesan missions 220,000 this year instead of $10,000. As on the outskirts of Baltimore so on the outskirts of Washington and in other ts of the diocese, there are most hopeful vitations for bold forward movements for building up instead of merely keeping alive. OLD AND DISABLED MINISTERS. ¥¢ In speaking of the provision made for old and disabled ministers he said that there was need that the fund should be enlarged, and he hoped that the custom would become general of devoting the Christmas offerings to that purpose, CHANGES IN THE PRAYER BOOK. In referring to the report of the joint com- mittees of the general convention relative to changes in the prayer book the bishop said that it brought up for fresh consideration mat- ters on which it was thought a final vote was taken in 1886, The report suggests additional changes, some of them stariling and some which " in forgetfulness of principles set forth when the work of revi- sion was first begun, involves serious points of doctrine. The bishop added that he Was satisfied that a substantial majority of the clergy never desired revision, and that the overwhelming majority of the lay people re- gret that a hne or word has been touched, Their great unwillingness, continued the bishop, has been lost iu the restless eagerness of A MINORITY HURRYING FOR CHANGE. “I fear we shall have no settled prayer book this year,” said the bishop. “Unless bold,strong opposition to this continued disturbing is made, we shall have the matter still undetermined in 1892. I pray that the outspoken voice of the church may compel final action at once upon the simple ground that the book ofcommon prayer, its powerful but comprehensive brevi- ty, and its grand ideas of what is really neces- sary for God's worship and service be lost in the flood of particular and personal petition, which, in language of weak modern sentiment, is poured out for us.” MINISTERIAL CHANGES. During the year the bishop stated fifteen clergymen have been received from other dioceses, namely, Rev. Arthur 8. Phelps, from New Jen J. Gibson Gantt, from West Virginia; Rev. John W. Chesley. from Easton; Rev. John C. Anderson, from Michigan; Rev. Arthur Chilton Powell, from central Pennsyl- yania; Rev. Randolph H. McKim, from Louis- iana: Rev. Joseph Flitcher, from Newark; Rev.

Johnston, from Con- necticut; Rey. W. L. Burwell, from West Vir- ginia; Rev. Robert W. Turner, from central Pennsylvania, There have been added to the number by ordination to the deaconate, and ten have been transferred to other dioceses. The bishop stated that no death has occurred among the clergy during the year. Lewis B. Brown, Jabez H. Dixon, and Edward T. Helfenstein have been ordained to the deaconate. Rey. E. L. Buckey, Rev. M. L. Poffenberger, and Rev. W. C. Clapp to t sthood. There are now 18 postulants for holy orders. There are two candidates for deacons und priests orders, and two deacons who are candidates for priests The whole number of clergy canoni- cally belonging to the diocese is 173, there vte being 1 bishop, 163 pres and 9 deacons, See — DORSEY SUBER’S TRIAL.

He wanted some one to go for his hat and coat, THE PRISONER TESTIFIED that he was thirty-four years old; boarded with Mary Thornton. On the morning of the occur- rence there was a disagreement in the dining room, and he went upstairs; Mary called him a liar and he toid her to hush up; her mother came up with the knife and words passed; Mary told him not to hit her mother. and to go in his room, and he did. The deceased came up and her mother told him that witness had struck her, and the deceased said. “the —— of TU kill him. or he shall kill me,” and witness knocked him down, breaking a tooth out, He got upand they clinched, and in attempting to defend himself he got the cuts on the hand. On the bed he drew the knife to keep Payne from killing him, After he got away from Payne he ran to Rollins’ house, and his wounds were tempora: dressed. He then got a night-liner to take him toa doctor to send to the house to Payne. Witness had warned Payne against coming into his room.

Mr. Carrington claimed that the testimony, including that of the friends of the deceased, proved a clear case of justifiable homicide, and that tie verdict should be “not guilty.” WAITING FOR A VERDICT.

COLORED SCHOOL TEACHERS, A Complaint About the Manner of Thelr Appointment, Mr. J. H. Smith, ex-trustee of schools, has written a letter calling the attention of tho Commissioners to what he considers irregular appointments of teachers inthe colored schools recently made. There are forty graduates from the colored schoois, but under the rules of the school board recently approved preference in the appointments is given to only twenty of the graduates, Twenty graduates having been ap- pointed recently, others not graduates have been appointed to places, the claims of the second twenty graduates being ignored. Mr. Smith claims that the rule is unjust and detrimental to the best interests of the schools. In the cases in question hesays the rule is made retroactive, 80 as to prevent the appointment of those who have given much time to preparing themselves to teach with the full expectation, that upon completing the prescribed course satisfactorily they would be given the preference in the ppointments, — Welcoming a Former Superintendent, There was the usual crowd of anxious ones at the government printing office to-day, but no changes of any importance were made, The feature of the day was the reception given the reappointed superintendent of the folding- room, Mr. Thos, B.
