Soldiers Called Out to Quell a Disturb- ance in the New City. Cutcaco, May 24.—A dispatch from Guthrie, I. T., says: ‘The soldiers were yesterday called out for the first time since the opening of Oklahoma, and for several hours the city of Guthrie was practically under —-mar- tial law, The meetings held every night for oa week by the men opening of streets culminated in a riot yester- day. One of the best lots in Guthrie was awarded by the board of arbitration to a man named Driscoll, of Chicago. An old man by the name of Biemer, of Kansas, occupiedjthe front of the same lot with a tent. Dris- coll erected a building on rollers, ready to shove it to the front as soon as Biemer should vacate. Recently the council passed an ordinance empowering the marshal to eject every person whose claim for alot had been rejected by the arbitration board. This put to execution would affect over a thousand persons, THE CITY GOVERNMENT MADE A TEST CASE of the Driscoll-Diemer contest. The marshal proceeded to remove Diemer and his tent. Im- mediately a mob of 1,200 men collected and drove the marshals away, The mob was about to attack the city hall when Capt. Cavanaugh ar- rived upon the scene and dispersed them, after which the city authorities resumed the work of ejecting Diemer. Diemer fought like a tiger and had to be dragged from his tent to the street. Driscoli’s building was rolled forward. The mob attempted to tear the house to pieces, but this time the city authorities were able to repulse the angry men without the aid of the soldiers, Last night soldiers guarded tue principal streets aud more trouble is anti- cipated wien the work of ejeciment is again begun. ——____ A NEW LAW V NTED.

The Haytian Representative Thinks Legitime Should Be Recognized. New Yor, May 24.—At the office of the Haytian consul this morning Vice Consul Sin- gleton said that Minister Preston had not as yet seen the report of the Boston's departure for Hayti, with a government commission aboard for the purpose of examining into the statues of foreign government in thatcountry and tosee if there exists any necessity for American inter- ference. “For my part,” said Mr. Singleton, “I cannot see any reason for the ‘aie any such commission unless it be to see if everything is all right before this government recognizes Legitime. England and France, I believe, have already recognized Legitime and Germany, and Spain will un- doubtedly do the same. For ourselves, we do not expect any news before the arrival of the next Dutch steamer.” The Boston is being p: for sea, but it is the opinion of one of her officers that fully Sey weeks will be required to get the vessel ready. NORTH AND SOUTH. Co-operation Between the Two Assem- blies of the Presbyterian Church. New Yorx, May 24.—The lively discussion on the question of cooperation with the Southern church, which took place in yesterday’s session of the general assembly of the Presbyterian church was the cause of bringing.a large audience to Dr. Crosby's church this morning in anticipation of hearing a continuance of the debate. Almost the first thing done was the reading of a telegram from the stated clerk of the southern assembly, now in ses- sion, announcing that that body had adopted the majority report in favor of co-operation in matters of publication, &c., by a vote of 99 to 27. This statement was received with ap- plause, Kev. John Fox, a Kentuckian, continued his speech in opposition to co-operation. The white people of this country, during the past century, he said, have not observed that Chris- tian equality between the two races that they should have observed, They should now try to break down this lingering preju- dice, and ke would therefore vote against the majority report because it advocated separate churches for white and colored. The debate on the third section of the mi jority report—co-operation in the evangeli: of the colored people—was continued. The first two sections—co-operation iu home and foreign missions—were adopted yesterday. The report is the same as that adopted by the southern assembly. Rev. Dr. Jos, I. Smith, the chairman of the committee that drew up the report, held that the matter of separate churches was desired BY THE COLORED PEOPLE THEMSELVES. Rev. Dr. Stryker, of Chicago, said he would vote for no report that asked one Christian to stand aside at the communion table in favor of another, He moved to strike out the part of the report which reads ‘while con- ceding the existing situation it (the Northera assembly) approves the policy of separate churches, proabyteries, and. synods, subject. to the choice of te colored people themselves.” Rev. Dr. T. 8. Hamlin, of Washington, moved ‘pl ” be substituted for the word “policy” in this sentence, and that it be allowed to remain in, Rev. B. J. Samuels, of North Carolina, a colored clergyman, said it waa neither the practice nor the policyof the church in the south to organize separate churches. Dr. Hamiin’s substitute was laid on the table. A vote on Dr, Styker’s amendment was taken and it was carried by about 400 to 50. With this exception, the paper as a whole was adopted, and the paper on co-operation was also approved of. ‘The next thing was to adopt the majority re- port asa whole as amended. This was done, only a few “noes” being heard when the ques- tion was put, A motion was then made to telegraph the southern general assembly what had been done, Rey. Dr, George T. Purvis, of Pittsburg, moved as an ameudment that when the clerk telegraphs the clause stricken out, he also adds that the reason it was done was not to prejudice future action, nor to out- line a future policy of this church, but simply because this assembly did not believe that ti stated the historical facts in the case, This was carried by a vote of 202 to 197. The report of the standing committee on church erection was then presented by Rev. Dr. John ¥, Hendy, of Kansas, The report said that many appeals had been received for new churches. During the year the board bas aided in building 162 churches, and expended over €98,000, Tho estimates for the coming year are @1. ‘The report of the committee was accepted. sb caso rated A LOBBY EXPOSE. 000.

The matter of leaves at the Government printing office has caused considerable discus- sion and been the subject of many official reg- ulations aud decisions by accounting officers, Recently, as stated in Tux Srar, Controller Matthews decided that he would construe the law as allowing employes leaves for thirty con- secutive days and not thirty working days, ‘Thus Sundays and any intervening holidays will be counted in the thirty days. Public Printer Palmer has already given considerable attention to the matter, and one result has been that the system of “pro rata” leaves in vogue during Mr. jenedict’s administration has been abolished. Under that system a man could have any absences during a month not exceeding two and one- half days charged on his leave and not lose pay. This resulted, it is said, in a confusion of accounts, and also had a bad effect on the employes, It has been decided to grant leaves only for fifteen or thirty days atatime. Mr. Palmer has issued the follow- ing regulations governing leaves of absence, Gander acts of Congress approved June 30, 1836, and August 1, 1888, the employes of the government printing office are allowed leaves of absence under such regulations and at such time as the public printer may designate. The following regulations will be strictly enforced: 1. In case of resignation, discharge, or death, the pro rata leave ol absence provided under act pppecrea August 1, 1888, will be paid, 2. Employes sick or disabled, upon the certi- ficate of the foreman of printing or foreman of binding. may receive the proper credits for necessary absence computed in accordance with the acts of Congress and the decision of the controller thereon, hereto annexed. 8. Applications for leaves of absence, with pay, only when approved by the foreman of printing or foreman of binding, will receive the attention of the public priuter. 4. Unused leaves of absence, after one "3 continuous service, will be computed and set- tled within 15 days after the close of the fiscal year, unless the employe should desire it to be reserved, to permit absence from work in accordance with the third regulation, provided the chief time clerk be notified on or before July 1, upon the blanks provided for that Pas oe through the foreman of printing or the fore- are hereby annulled. man of binding.

Of course there are men who never allow themselves to imagine that they are influenced by old women’s tales, aud of such were those who braved hair-raising legend and grewsome yarn that they might, perchance, move a few degrees nearer the cash-box of your Uncle Samuel. The attendance was extremely light, but the President had no idle time, He never can have any ag long as he stays in the White House. The Attorney-General was the earliest arrival. He came before 10 o'clock and was shut up with the President for more than an hour. THE BUFFALO COLLECTORSUIP. ‘Then he gave place to Senator Hiscock and 0. G. Warren, Mr. Warren is the proprietor of the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser. The object of their call was to secure, if possible, the ap- pointment of W. J. Morgan as collector of the ort of Buffalo. Mr. Warren's interest in Mr. Morgan's success or failure is considerable, for Mr. Morgan edits the paper which Mr. Warreu owns and controls. Some time ago, when the city of Buffalo was doing little else ‘than send delegates here, it sent one in Editor Morgau’s behalt, THE PRESIDENT WILL ATTEND. The President accepted another invitation to-day. It was one inviting him and his family to attend a memorial service to be held on Sun- day evening next at Metropolitan M. E. church, The request was made by acommittee—Depart- ment Commander W. 8. Odell. G. A. R.; De~ partment Chaplain Samuel Kramer, and T. W, Tallmadge, a member of the official board of Metropolitan church (who represented Rev. Dr. Corey, now somewhat indisposed), The committee informed the President that ar- rangements had been made to hold a memorial service on Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock; that an appropriate sermon would be preached by Pastor Corey; that there would be a large at- tendance of grizzled veterans; that there would be flowers and music and flags, and, final that the President's pew—the pew in wh Grant sat—would be reserved for his use. The President and Secretary Halford will certainly be there, and it is more than probable that Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. McKee will accompany them. MARSHAL OF THE DISTRICT. District affairs formed the subject upon which Gen. Williams and B, Lewis Blackford discoursed. Rumor has it, and has it pretty bad, that Gen. Williams may be the next mar- shal of the District. The fact that the general has been at the White House three or four times within the past week does not detract from the vigor of the rumor. Some of those who ought to know declare that the office of marshal will ‘o to a District man, although previous Presi- ents have generally regarded the place as a personal one,in which to putan intimate friend, SOLICITOR-GENERAL OF THE TREASURY. Ex-Representative Butler, of Tennessee, is still active in politics, To-day he presented to the President | a letter from Chairman Herwig, of the Louisiana state central committee, urging the appointment of General Blair, of Virginia, as solicitor-general of the Treasury. ‘To the epistle Mr. Butler added a little of his own eloquence and persuasiveness, but without any apparent effect upon the arbiter of Gen. Blair's official destiny. Ex-Representative J, Hart Brewer, of New Jersey, had with him the Hon. B. F. Howey, also a Jerseyite, . SENATOR BLAIR SARCASTIC. Senator Blair was in a merry, semi-sarcastic mood. It was excusable, however, for no one knows just what happened to him while he was in the library. ; In response to a request for interesting news he smiled gravely at Tue Star reporter who accosted him and said: “I am very sorry you didn’t ask me sooner, for then I would have buaied myself to find some. I have been re- miss, but I trust you willexcuse me.” Representative Butterworth had a quiet little chat and slipped out in his usual unostentatious manner, after introducing Maj. Gorman, of Maryland. After he had departed A LITTLE BUNCH OF OHIOANS under the guidance of Representative Yoder called to pay their respects, They were from Cincinnati and Delphos. Somebody stated that not one of the group wanted an office, but the statement was derided because it was mathematically proven that no five non-ambitious men from Ohio could be found in one company. The rumor had the effect of making its subjects objects of curiosity. MARYLANDERS ON DECK. Maryland had a few to speak for her. Con- gressman McComas was one—the only one who saw the President. Capt. R. H. P. Staub and Major R. P. Gorman, both of Baltimore, arrived at the White House just as the oftice doors were closed, so they will come again some other day. Capt. Staub wants something, but he succeeded in impressing a good many people with the idea that he didn’t care very much whether he got it or not. He is loaded down with indorsements. Major Gorman is president of the Irish-Ameri- can Republican League, of Maryland, has a reputation as a wire-puller, and thinks he would make the best United States marshal the state of Maryland ever had, Capt. Riehl, a member of the Baltimore city council for the first ward, was in the vicinity of the mansion, but he made no attempt to enter. He is looking after his chances as an inspector of foreign steamers, THE MISCELLANEOUS CALLERS were few. Miss Gray, of this city, was accom- panied by three friends, visitors from the land of Burns and Walter Scott— Mr. and Mrs. Atchison and = Mr. Thompson, Ex-Representative Chalmers, of Mississippi; Edmund Waddill, jr., of Richmond, Va.; Charles W. Miller, of Goshen, Ind, and A. J. Daugherty, of Peoria, Il, were the only others, THE MISSION OF T. DE WITT TALMADGE. Rev. T. De Witt Talmadge had an object in his call upon the President and Mrs, Harrison yesterday. Ex-Senator Thos. C. Platt and the ten Brook- lyn ward representatives who called on Mr. Harrison thesame day, had with them Mr. Robert W. Fielding, whom they all want ap- pointed U. S. marshal at Brooklyn. Mr. Field- ing has the support of Senator Hiscock and Secretary Tracy and, in fact, of all the pol- iticians, as well as of those who called in his behalf yesterday. From a merely political point of view he appears to have the plainest sort of sailing before him. But there is this in the situation, A non-partisan holds the office of marshal st Brooklyn now. Contra: to the wishes of the democratic poli- ticians generally, Mr. Cleveland appointed Mr. Chas. M. Stafford to that position, at the instance ot a very prominent Brooklyn divine— no other than Mr. ‘Talmadge. Mr. Talmadge is a republican as well asa Presbyterian minister, and Mr. Stafford is credited with being an independent, Mr. Stafford is the superintendent of Mr. Talmadge’s Sunday school, and the leadi light of his church, It is naturally Mr. Tal- madge’s desire that he should be retained in the marshalship. When Mr. Platt and the ten Brooklyn poli- ticians started for Washington, Mr. ‘‘almadge was in Baltimore, or on his way there to lecture. His son, however, was in vag and he was at once itched to get his father and come to Wi ton in time to see the President, and circumvent Mr, Pilatt’s plans if possible. Mr. Talmadge and his son had a_ very pleasant interview with both the President and Mrs. Harrison, as Tax Star yesterday recorded, There may not bea change in Brooklyn marshalship at once, THE APPOINTMENT OF ABIAL LATHROP as district attorney for the district of South Carolina, made by the Presi- dent to-day, treads hard on the of E, M. Brayton and Judge Both were tes, Mr. 2 ‘wth the exception of Secretary Proctor, being present. The session closed about 2 o'clock.

The meeting of the council of ministers of the New church was opened this morning with religious exercises, conducted by Rev. Joseph Pettee, of Massachusetts, Various reports were then presented. The report on Sunday school Libraries, giving alist of suitable Sunday school books, called out am earnest and interesting discussion. At 12 o'clock the president gave a compre- hensive and useful address on the pastor and the Sunday school. This was followed by ap- | Preciative discussion, in the course of which the Rev. Mr. Gunton, who is visiting the con- | vention from the English conference, made a spirited and pleasing address. Shortly after 1 o'clock they adjourned to meet at 2 o'clock this afternoon, The first businces of the afternoon session was the election of officers, after which Rev. W. L. Worcester gave a lesson in “teaching correspondences of the Bible.” During the session exercises illustrating east- ern costumes in Bible times were introduced. e Sunday School association will bold a | session at 8 o'clock this evening, at which ad- dresses will be delivered. csntsiace< es HE WAS AN ENGLISHMAN, And He Was Sent Out to Get Inter- views on the Cronin Mystery.
