Hot words and uncomplimentary ex- pressions fairly filled the air, and at one stage or other in the proceedings nearly every one in the room lost fora times real good firm grip on histemper, The proceedings yesterday were held in the same room at the top of the Agri- cultural Department, and were to have com- menced at 4 o'clock. It was 4:30, however, be- fore the machine yesterday got into active operation, At the first hearing on Satur- day last everything moved along as smoothly and calmly as a summer breeze, end Mr, McLaughlin testified as easily as ff testifying was the business of his life, Yesterday all this was changed, and, to use the words of the weather bureau, the situation in the investigating room was’ squaliy, with falling barometer and inclination toward gales, blizzards and earthquakes. There were three well-developed storm centers. One of these vered around the smooth-shaven face of Gen. Colby, who is conducting the investigation. Another whirled around the placid features of Prof, Harrington and bis legal representative, Mr, Ross Perry, while tho third alternately paled and flushed the features of ex-Chief of Division McLaughlin. Besides the gentlemen mentioned and the re- porters there were present quite group of Witnesses and employes of the bureau, THY FIRST OUTBREAK. n. Colby was a little late in arriving, and | before he had becn able to get bis wind after his four-story climb storm number one had burst in all its fury. Mr, Perry engineered this outbreak by starting in to make uw xtatemenc, He said that he rington appeared here under duress, and that jhe, as Prof. Harrington's representative, de- sired to enter a formal protest against the whole proceedings. He hada letter, he said, written by Prof. Harrington to the Secretary of Agriculture, which he wented incorporated in the proceedings as a pleading, and he wanted to | rend it now. | Mr. McLaughlin was on his feet in a second, | but had only gotten so far as “I protest” when | Gen. Colby broke in and told Mr. Perry he | could band up the letter or statement and it would be considered. For the next few min- utes the proceedings were very lively and Mr. Verry several times started to read the letter, the main points of which were published in yesterday's Stax, and as often Gen. Colby stopped him. ‘The dialogue in places was ani- rry—I will now rea Gen, Colby ir. ‘This is a court for taking te y and not for argument, | Mr. Pei Well, Mr. Attorney General, 1 protest against your conducting this investiga- tion while you are yourself under investigation, I will now read. Gen, Colby—I don't wish to hear any verbal protest from you. Mr. Perry—I protest against your serving, Mr. Perry then commenced to read the Sen- ate resolution providing for an investigation of Gen, Colby’s departinent and Gen, Colby in- terrupted. | “1 want to say right here,” «aid Gen. Colby, | tthut you and Prof. Harrington ean come heré oF not, Just as you pease, but if you do come | you will either conform’ to the rules of this | investigation or you will go out very quickly,” | Mr. Perry—I appear here as a lawyer rep- man whose churacter has been de- famed, wad if the Secretary of Agriculture | wishes to have me forcibly ejected he f4 at | liberty to do so, and the public can pass judg- | ment on such proceedings, | Mr, Perry then said that he would file the Colby remarked: Oh! All you wanted to do, then, was to a speech.” -y waid he wanted a copy of the testi- taken on Saturday and wanted to cross question Mr, MeLaughlin, Gen, Colby said ail right, and then Mr. Perry eaid he wanted some outside witneses called ‘and referred expecially to Senators Coke and Mills and Representative Long, all of Texas, ‘This was agreed to, and Mr, Cotby asked: “Have you any further argu- ment? Mr, Perry—I will make any further argu- ment at the proper time, but it will not be ere, | ‘MR, M'LAUGHLIN GROWS WARM. A farther little tilt occurred as to the nature of the investigation, and then the storm cloud which had encircled Mr, McLaughlin burst. Mr. McLaughlin started out by saying that be seen in the public press a #tatenient com- ing from Prof, Hurrington, which bristled with | falsehoods and half truths, Many of these falsehoods were directed against himself, and | ke wanted “this man Harrington” to take the stand and swear to these things, #0 that he could once and for all ‘nail these lie Mr. Perry remarked that such language was more of anattack on the court than on his | client, who would pay no attention to such re- | marke, and would answer no questions except such us came trom the court. Gen. Colby held that these matters did not rtain to the investigation, and asked Mr. Me- [aughlin if be bad anv farther testimony to give. Mr. McLanghlin thought not at present, and suggested that other witnesses be called and he be allowed to go on te stand later. Mr. Perry objected to this and thought that Mr. | McLaughiin should finish his testimony and be cross-examined before other witnesses were called. Mr. MeLaughlin—I don’t think this lawyer should be allowed to dictate the course of pro- ceedings. Mr. Perry argued against a witness being al- lowed to give his testimony at intervals of the proceedings. A QUESTION OF COMPILERS. The third charge in relation to the appoint- ment of expert compilers was then tuken up and Lieut, Benjamin M. Purssell took the stand. Lieut. Purssell testified that he had charge of the weather forecasts in the bureau and. under him were the clerks known as expert compile: He referred to the three cases of irregular: which Mr. McLaughlin had mentioned in his charges, namely, Mr. Madden, Mrs, Plummer and Mrs. Adams. Mrs, Plummer he had never seen. She had, so far as his knowledge went, never appeared at the ofice, He did not con- \ider Sindden an efficient clerk in the amount of work he could accomplish. His work was correct so far as it went, but he could do only about one-fourth as much |as an ordinary clerk. When some additions | had been made to the force Mrs. Adams had been among them. She was incompetent and knew absolutely nothing of the work she was ‘expected to do. In the monthly statement of efficiency he had rated Mrs. Adams so low that Prof. Harrington had noticed the rating and had said that Mrs, Adems must go. As ber ap- pointment was a temporary one and over half of er time had expired witness had suggested that the be given some copying to do, which was done, She was continued until her time ex- pired this month. Mr. McLaughlin cross-examined Lieut. Purs- sell and brought out that on the basis of ten being perfect ho had rated Mrs. Adams in Jan- uary at six or seven and in February at two. Mr. McLaughlin tried to draw further opinions trom the witness through leading questions to which Mr. Perry objected extremely. Little success, however. was met with, and Lieut. Pursell refused to state that the other clerks in the office were incompetent or could not be called expert compilers. He was willing to state, however, that ordinary clerks m the office would have been able to do the compil- ing probably better than the new appointees, and that from his former knowledge of Crane, dating back of '87,he did not consider him fitted for the promotion. WHO MADE THE APPOINTMENTS. Mr. Perry also put the witness through a cross-examination and drew out the fact thet these expert compilers came under a special ¢lause in the appropriation bill and ten had been appointed. appointments had been the Secretary of Agriculture. He had | understood that only two of these clerks bad been recommended by Prof. Harrington and believed that neither of the three mentioned had been so recommended. “Don't you know,” said Mr. Perry, “that Prof. gton recommended Madden's dis- charge as svon as he heard of his-intom- petency?” ‘The witness had no edge of this fact, although he stated, “Asa matter of fact,” continued Mr. discharge in January.” In regard to Mrs. Baker witness testified that she had been appointed in January, 18%, for three months, Her term ex this month and she was away fora few days and then re- turned, having been reappoin' Mr. Perry—Who appointed her?

Davis in regard to Nicoll and witness had investigated the matter, He had discovered to his satisfaction that young Nicoll was not receiving He had talked with both and left them con- vanced that they could get aiong all right. He considered Nicoll averagety efficient for a new man, Mr. McLaughlin asked about Nicoll’s habits, and witness said he bad beard that formerly he had been accustomed to drink, bnt had been cured. HOW YOUNG TOWNSHEND WAS REAPPOINTED, Capt, Townshend then made a statement in regard to his son, against whom MeLaughlin had made serious charges. “I want to say here,” said the witness, “that Mr. McLaughlin encouraged me to have my son make applica- tion to re-enter the service.” Continuing, Capt. Townshend testified that in several con- versations with Mr, McLaughlin he had dis- tinetly understood him to promise to do all he could to get young Townshend back in the service. Afterward witness had talked with Prof, Harrington, Had told him his son was formerly in the service, but during the yellow fever pestilence had ‘acquired the drink- ing habit, gotten into trouble and had left the ‘service. So far as he knew he no longer drank. Prof Harrington then told witness to make aplication, which was done, and his son was appointed assistant observer at Pike's Peak. Later it had been re- ported that for a time the young man had been absent from his post and at the same time wit- ness had received # letter saying his son was drinking again, Since then he had taken the gold cure and he had heard of no complaints. AS TO THE CHARGE OF FORGERY. ‘Then followed an impressive scene, and one |in which the silence was painful. With voice trembling Capt. Townshend said: ‘As to this charge of forgery I think McLaughlin has gone a long way out of his way to make it, One man has made such a charge, but it has never been proved. I suppose McLaughlin has made this statement in order to advertise the boy,and he has succeeded well, and I hope he will profit as he deserves.” ‘There was short pause and then Mr. Me- Laughlin commenced a cross-examination. ‘Mr. McLaughlin: “Don't you know that in the fall of "91 your son made an effort to get iuto the service and I opposed it?” Capt. Townshend: “Yes, and do you want me to give the reascn Mr. McLaughlin: “No, It would be an at- tempt to smirch a man.” Mr. Perry then took up the cross-examina- tion and the witness testified that his son had entered the service in '82 and remained until "89, He had beon recommended for a lieuten- ancy on account of efficient service. He had gotten to drinking and left the service, In ‘91 he had made application for re-entrance, but without success. In August, "92, witness had talked with McLaughlin, who at that time had encouraged him to have his son make a further application, saying that he would do what he could in’ the case, and if no questions were asked him he would voiun- teer no statement, At the same time McLaugh- lin had told witness that when the application had been made in the full of "Lhe had felt com- polled to lay young Townshend's record before aj, Dunwoody in order to protect Dunwoody from pomsible criticism in case he had ap- pointed ‘Townshend without knowledge of bia career. Mr. Perry usked a few more questions, bringing out the difference in action of Mr. MeLaughiin on the two applications, and then the witness testified that his won had been pub- liely commended by Gen, Greely for his actions during the yellow fever epidemic, ‘This ended the testimony for the day, but not storms. A CLOSING TIYP, Prof, Harrington had spoken not at all ex- cept to his lawyer during the proceedings. Now, however, he sald something iu regard to the papers needed from the files and ended up by remarking that some of the papers were missing from the files, and Gen, Colby bad bet- ter question that man McLaughlin about |them, and Mr, McLaughlin sprang up and started to say something, but Gen, Colby put stop to the tiff and tho’ investigation at the ame time, ‘The proceedings will be resumed this after- noon at 4 o'clock. SECRETARY MORTON'S LETTER TO PROF, MAR- RINGTON, Reference has been made in Tue Star to the letter which Secretary Morton wrote to Prof. Harrington in reply to the first letter which was published. In this letter Secretary Morton advised Prof, Harrington to at- tend the investigution and to place all needed documents and papers at the service of Gen, Colby, ‘The Secretary disclaimed the idea that any injustice was intended or meant Prof. Harrington and referred to the fact that the investigation had grownout of the investigation | of petty thievery “at the bureau, which the professor claimed had tirat been ‘laid open by himeelf, Speaking of the appointment of a new executive clerk by himself, the Secretary remarks that it will probably not be found such « big point when the action which he proposes in reference to Maj. Dunwoody is developed. ‘The Secretary refers in this to the appoint- ment of Maj. Dunwoody us assistant chief, printed in yesterday's Sr. ‘The investigation promises to drag out to considerable length and to involve a number of people who have no present expectation of going on the stand. ee Mrs. Christine Pfaff Divorced. A special to the New York Press from Sioux Falls, 8. D., says: Judge Aiken has granted a divorce to Mrs. Christine Pfaff of Paris, a daughter of the cele- brated painter, Hekking, who is a member of the Academy. She married Henry Pfaff of Boston in 1889 and they went to liv her father. ‘The complaint alleges that from the beginning Pfaff began to abuse her, strik ing her frequently, knocking her down and kicking her brutally. He often threw books and chairs at her and once poured a mug of scalding water over her. —— 4 Armor Plates and Planked Shad. National Geographic Society has issued announcements respecting the fifth annual ex- cursion and field meeting, which will occur Monday, May 1. The management has thought that a river party on the Potomac, which would possess features of scientic interest and at the same time afford relaxation from daily routine, would be acceptable to all members. With this object in view arrangements have been made to visit the naval proving groand at Indian Head and to inspect the methods in use for testing the heavy armor and ordnanceemployed in the construction and equipment of modern war vessels, After visiting the proving ground the party will go directly to Marshall Hall for dinner, @ prominent feature of which will be planked shad, ‘The Geographic Society has invited the members of all the allied scientific societies of Washington to unite with it on this excursion, at the same rate of expense as fixed for its own members. ‘The arrangements for the trip have been in- trusted to Messrs. Geo. H. Eldridge, E. W. Parker and 8. A. Aplin, jr., of the geological | survey. The steamer Macalester has been chartered for the excursion, and the grounds at Marshall Hall will be reserved for the exclu- sive use of the society. Should there be a settled storm on May 1 the river party will be Postponed to another date, to be announced. Emr oey The Detectives Return. Detectives Carter, Wheeler, Weedon and Boyd have returned from Hampton, where they went to look after those of the light-fingered gentry who might appear there to operate in the large crowd. The city of Norfolk was so overcrowded that the local officers had their hands full to take care of their own people, and could not therefore be for duty at Hampton. Before the Washington oflicers went there numerous robberies were committed, and it was for this reason that the members of the committee sent for them. After thé hrrival, however, the kets ceased operations and many ‘of them the officers made twenty-two arrests and most of the prisoners were sent away on the steamers, —— Judgment for the Amount of Shortage.

THE DUKE DE VERAGUA. His Call Upon the President and at the Departments. ‘Yesterday afternoon and evening was a busy one with the Duke of Veragua and bis party. As stated in yesterday's Stan the party were received by the President in the afternoon. ‘The ducal party rode in two open carriages from the Arlington Hutel and arrived at the mansion at exactly $ o'clock, the hour set for the With the duke were his wife, the Duchess de Veragaa; his brother, the Mar~ quis de Barboles; his son, Christopher Colam- bus y Aguilera; Commander F. W. Dickens, representing the United States government, and Mrs, Dickens and Senor Don Rodrigo de Saavedra, an attache of the Spanish legation in ‘Washington, representing the Spanish minister. ‘THE BRILLIANT COSTUMES. A published announcement cf the hour for the reception drew about a hundred people. mostly women, about the White House, and the expressions of admiration over the brilliancy of the uniforms worn by the male members of the party attested that the crowd was not dis- —, e duke and his attendants were shown im- mediately into the biue room, where the Pres- ident and Mrs. Cieveland awaited them. Tho black frock coat which Mr. Cieveland wore con- trasted strongly with the gold lace and brass buttons of the duke, the nis, Don de Saavedra and Commander Dickens. ‘Gold lace was a predominant feature in the uniform of the duke. while across his breast he wore a sash of watered silk in variegated colors and carried chapeau in his hand. Hardly less brilliant was the costume of the marquis, while Don de Saavedra outshone both in the picturesqueness of a long cape of white doeskin reaching nearly to his heels, The naval uniform of Commander Dickens, usually considered -a very showy and brilliant affair, was almost somber in the con- four of the men wore swords,the duke’s heat jeweled, and in addition the duke carried a ight cane with tassel attached. Ordinary af- ternoon calling gloves were worn by the duchess and Mra, Dickens. The duke’s son wore an Eton suit with waistcoat cut very low, a light over- coat, Eton colinr and high hat. ‘The uniforms of the Spaniards were those prescribed for court functions, VISITING THE DEPARTMENTS. There was no attempt at ceremony in the blue room. Commander Dickens made the in- troductions and a few words were spoken, with just u suggestion of formality, by the duke and by the President in reference to the visit of the duke to America. Then the ducal party bowed itself out and re-entering the carriages was driven to the Navy Department, whence the Indies and the young man went back to the Arlington without alighting. In the absence of Secretary Herbert Assistant Secretary Mc- Adoo received the visitors, and after a minute spent in conversation accompanied them to the | State Department, where they were met by Secretary Gresham in the diplomatic room. Escorted by Assistant Secretary Adee of the State Department, the duke and bis party went to the office of Secretary Lamont and paid their respects. This ended the function and the duke, the marquis, the don and the com- mander went back to the Arlington. NOT MUCH SIGHTSEEING ToDAY. The rain th.s morning rather put a stop to the sightseeing of our Columbian guests and the morning was spent in quiet retirement at the Arlington. This afternoon at 3 o'clock the entire party drove to the residence of Mr. Gar- diner Hubbard, 1328 Connecticut avenue, where an elaborate reception was given from 3 to5 c’clock. In the evening the party will attend a dinner at the Spanish legation given in their honor. Tomorrow morning at 9:30 the distin- guished visitors will leave by the Pennsylvania | road for New York, where they will remain until the 28th, departing on that day for Chi- | cago. To say that the visitors are pleased with Washington would express it but mikdiy.

Another drive took place at the same time with Miss Maria del Pilar y Aguilera and her cousin Don Carlos as participants, Mins Maria is the daughter of the duke and duchess, and is only eighteen years of age. Yesterday she showed her ability in a new line, as on the drive she handied the reins herself, and by the way she managed the dashing pair of animals showed herseif to be a perfect horsewoman. PROBABLY AN INNOCENT MAN, Gov. Tillman of South Carolina Gives Up a Man Who Sought His Protection. John Peterson, a negro, was hanged to a tree last night at Denmark, a small village in South Carolina, and riddled with bullets by a mob of 500 men, under the suppositien that he had as- saulted a fifteen-year-old girl named Bessie Baxter. The assault was committed ten days ago. ‘There is every reason to believe that Peter- son was innocent. He had been suspected of the crime and had been hunted by the country people. He came to Columbia Inst Saturday and delivered himself to the governor, asking his protection. The governor turned him over to a con- stable to be taken to Denmark for trial and ited a deputy to have present witnesses whom Peterson claimed could establish an alibi for him. Peterson was thus sent by the governor to be tried for his 1ife by a mob court. Court was held in Senator Mayfield’s office. Only representatives of the press and about ten other citizens were allowed to attend Judge Lynch's court, two of the number being colored men, Senator Mayfield presided. Peterson was handcuffed. He dispiayed no trepidation and appeared Tks an tanovent amas iia sca straight story and locked fearlessly at his questioners. They took him before Miss Baxter. She said that he was not ber assailant. A colored woman swore that Peterson was in Denmark on the morning of the assault. The court adjourned without getting any tangible evidence against Peterson, the odds Deing greatly in his favor. But the crowd was so frenzied that it could not be restrained, Gov. Tillman is severely criticised for having seat Peterson to his doom in Denmark. a Cases of Theft. Mary Pollard, a young white girl, was in the Police Court today on a charge of stealing a gold pin from a child and the court imposed a fine of $20or sixty days. The court also ordered restitution of property. William Goodloe, a boy,was tried on a charge of stealing from the store of Mary Waters some cigarettes, candy and other articles. He was fined $25 or sixty days. : Matthew Hall, a colored boy, visited a wood yard in South Washington and carried off some wood belonging to the proprietor. He was fined $5 or fifteen days. ae Treated Just Like Citizen Thomas Drake aud John Kelly, strangers in the city whocame here with the circus as ticket speculators, were before Judge Kimball today charged with obstructing the entrance to the circus. The men thought they were not treated properly and were under the impres- sion that they were arrested because they did not belong here. They were treated the same as though they bad been residents and were fined €8 each. REP SERIES ‘The Cases Set for Tharsday.

The wall of the rear building ‘on Mrs, Shoemaker's property was to have been taken down, but the parties could not come to « satisfactory agreement and Mr. Miller had a vurvey made. It was then discovered that the wall in question was not a party wall, and therefore Mr. Miller could not take it down. ‘Then the wall was attacked on the ground that it was unfit for the purposes for which it is used, or, in other words, that it is unsafe, ‘Mrs. Shoemaker still objected to removing the wall, and « warrant bas been issued charging javiolation of the building regulations. Mr. Henry Wise Garnet is her attorney, and the fight in the courts promises to be an interest- ing one.
