He was « brother of the former sultans, Kha- iifa and Burghash, and succeeded to the sultan- ate on the death of the former in February, 1890. He was born in 1855, No sooner was it known that the sultan was dead than his son Kalid gained admittance to the palace by a back entrance, evidently with the intention of claiming ‘the throne in defiance of British authority. Kalid caused the portals of the be barred, and made preparation: himself in the structure, which besides being the most magnificent residence in also very strongly built for defense. Gen. Mathews, acting in the G._ A. Portal, now on bis way to Uganda as British commissioner to examine the situation of that county, took a prompt and vigorous course. Proceeding to the @ strong force of troops he demanded that the gates be opened, or otherwise the palace would be carried by storm, if necessary. Kalid was dismayed by the resolute attitude of the British, who were supported by the native authorities generally, and he saw no prospect of success if he should challenge a conflict, Many of the natives sympathized with Kalid count of British opposition to the slave nd for other reasons, but they did not dare to come out openly in defiance of the Raler in palace were thrown open and Imitted. the troops > - Kalid was then removed from the palace been the designated heir tothe throne, and recognized as such by the British, was pro- claimed by the British authorities as sultan or seyyid and at once installed iu authority under the Britich protectorate. ‘The € ign of the late sultan was very event- ful, he having in 1890 accepted a British pro- tectorate over his dominions, except a portion on the mainland of Africa, which he ceded to Germany for 4,060,600 marks, and having taken vigorous steps to extinguish the slave trafficand port except as to wine, opium and tobacco. The natives are reported to be thoroughly erawed by the energetic action of the British, and Hamid is quietly accepted as sovercign. _ MADE TO RUN THE GAUNTLET, Beaten for Liquor Cases.

Derrorr, Micu., March 6.—Petitions were circulated in ail the Roman Catholic churches of this diocese yesterday protesting against the taxation of church property a8 proposed ina bill now before the legislature. In the preamble it is stated that the churches, educational and charitable institutions accom= plish more for the good of society than all the police systems and courts of law, aud save the state millions of dollars. The petition, in conclusion, reads: “The pro- posed legislation would tax religion and the worship of God; tax the spirit _ of charity and the diffusion of knowledge; tax human misery, weakness and misfor- tune; tax the devotedness and self-sacrifices of thove who wish to help their fellow men. It has put religion on the same plane as com- merce; put a premium on infidelity and unbe- lief; pat those who vote for the measure on record as the enemies of religion, charity and enlightenment.” ‘The petition, when signed, will be sent to the legislature. a IN WALL STREET TODAY.

Some came in simple respect to pay their duty to the chief magistrate before leaving the city, others came for the privilege of grasping bis hand and others came with their little axes to grind. EARLY IN HIS OFFICE. President Cleveland was in bis office by 9:30 o’ciock this morning and with him Private Sec- retary Thurber, with a big bundle of mail. Before PRIVATE SECRETARY THURBER. the President could even glance at the more im- portant letters the cards of his visitors began to pour in. rst came Gov. Pattison of Pennsylvania with his staff, who were present to make a part- ing call. As they passed out of one door Senator Mills of ‘Texas came in another, and remained with the President until the arrival of Gov. Northen of Georgia with bis staff, who, in full uniform, came to make their parting bow. Senator Butler of South Carolina and Gen. Levi Maish of Ponnsylvania were the next to be ushered into the presidential presence, and they were followed by Senator Palmer of Iili- nois, who came to present Mr. Delos P. Phelps to the President. Mr. Phelps was chairman of the Illinois central committee and is a heavy weight in sucker state politics, AREAL OFFICE SEEKER. Next came a real, live, genuine office seeker of the old Jacksonian stamp. While others who had preceded him may have been office seekers at heart and may have whispered their souls’ yearnings to the President in the quiet recesses of his office, hiding their ambitions from the eyes of the multitude, this gentleman was after an office and he did not care who knew it. It was ex-Congressman Frank Lawler of Chi- cago, who wants to be postmaster of the windy city.’ Mr. Lawler carried in his hand a printed Aa 4 pamphlet of sixty pages. It contained the names of several thousand of the prominent businoss men of Chicago and city and county politicians. In a trunk which is to be deposited with the Postmaster General is another petition of citizens of Chicago, all favoring and urgilg the appointment of Mr. Lawler. ‘The total number of names attached to the petitions ix 64,491. Mr. Lawler remained a few minutes with the president and came ont to give way to Con- gressman Springer of Mlinow and his red boutonniere, Gov. Peck of Wisconsin and Gov. Morris of Connecticut came with their staffs to pay a parting call upon the President and spent afew moments chatting with him. THE. VISITING CLUBS. The President had intended to receive his official callers before noon and after that time to devote his attention to organizations and the rank and file of democracy aa they came.

Private Secretary Thurber today appointed Arthur Simmons as his doorkeeper in place of George Hall, the gentlemanly messenger who was stationed at the door during the last ad- ministration. Simmons ts well known in Wash- ington, having been employed in the White House from Lincoln's time down to the beginning of the last admunistration, when he was transferred to the Treasury Department. He was born a slaye and was emancipated by President Lincoln. Mr. Thurber said to a Stam reporter today that Simmons was appointed = at_— tthe special request of the President, who took a fancy to him during his last administration. Doorkeeper Hall was a faithful and most efficient oficial, and his transfer to another de- partment will be regretted by many officials whose business takes them to the White House.

Secretary Smith Dors Not Take Possession Today. Cots were piled up in the corridors of the Interior and Post Office Department build- ings this morning when the clerks arrived to enter upon the toil of snotber four years. The sweepers and the scrubbers were hard at work trying to remove the traces of the army of occupation that had been camping in the buildings since Saturday. The first and second regiments of the Penusylvania troops were in the post office building and the third regiment and battery from the sume state and a company from the third regiment of the New Jersey state guards were in the Inte- rior Department building. Outside of the tracking on the marble floors of the dirt from the streets the soldier boys left the buildings in good order. Betore noon pretty much all traces of their occupancy d been removed. They were soon succeeded by the sepond array of occupation, which will make alonger stay and will occupy the corri- dors elmost to the same extent as the soldier boys, and instead of dirt traces they will leave the results of earnest and nervous mastication upon the floors. ‘There was not much for the office seekers te learn or to see in the Post Office or in the I= terior Departments today. However. they put in an appearance. that 18, some of them aid— which entitles them the mame of the army of occupation.
