NARRATED TO THE DEACONS ens NEWARK, N. J., March 12.—A sensation was caused in this city today when it be- came known that Rev. E. J. Oliknow Mil- lington, pastor of Fairmont Baptist charge, had made a full confession to the deacons of the church regarding his recent dis- appearance. On Marth 1 he left his home here to attend the Baptist conference in New York. That evening his wife receivea a telegram*informing her that he had met an old college friend and that he would not return home until Tuesday. | He did not come home then, neither did his wife hear anything of him until last Monday, when he was located at the home ‘father, also a minister, in Keese- .N. Y. There he made a statement, in h he said that his mind was a blank to him after he left New York and until he found himself in Montreal. The min- ister returned to his home Wednesday. In his confession to the deacons of the chureh, Mr. Millington admits that he left home with Mrs. Dorothy Dickerson, who is separated from her husband, said to be now in Chicago, and who left her home the same day. Rev. Mr. Millington said that after he and Mrs. Dickerson left this city they went te Montreal, where they registered as Harold and wife at a boarding house. They remained there over night and left hurried- ly when they received a telegram inform- them that they had been traced to city. He admits that the elopement was premeditated, and says that he was inti- mate with Mrs. Dickerson for over a yes t and that he was leading a dual life. He said that sooner or later he knew that their relations would become known and that he wouid have to go away with Mrs. Dickerson, and that he decided to take the first opportunity to fiee from the city. He admits that he negle>ted to pay bitis that he had icurred, so that ne could save money in order to pay their railroad fare to Montreal. the deacons of the church do not any longer recognize him as the pastor of the church. A church meeting had been called for March 25 to take action in the case, but. owing to the confession of the min- ister, it is probable that a meeting will be held sooner. Mr. Millington has refused to see a re- porter, saying he would make a statement to the public next week. His wife is pros- trated over the confession he has made. He says he thinks it best to make the whole matter public so that he may begin ever again’ and reform. Mrs. Dorothy Dickerson, the woman who eloped with the minister, has also made a+ full confession to the deacons of the church. She has admitted that all the statements made by Millington regarding their rela- tion ars true. She says that the reason she has admitted her guilt is because she thought it would be more sinful if she concealed the truth, and she thought it better to make a clean breast of the whole affair. Millington is but twenty-five years of age. His father and his brother are both ministers. Mrs. ‘kerson had been one of the ii- thusiastic workers of the church. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ANNAPOLIS, Md., March 12.—The third day’s session of the Washington confer- ence was held here today, Bishop Newman presiding. Rev. Dr. Kelly presented the claims of the Methodist Review, Rev. Robt. Tard the Bible Society cause, and Rev. br. J. E. Bowens the Gammon University at Atlanta, Ga. The several’ candidates for deacons and elders were passed, and a’ committee, headed by Rev. J. L. Thomas, was appointed to visit President McKinley Tuesday. The appointments will be an- nounced Monday. ‘The vote of the conference on the admi: sion of women as delegates to the gene cenference was: For, 107; against, 9. For equal lay with ministers’ representation: Fer, 5; against, 114. pe SS AFTER OUR IRONCLADS, It is Said That Turkey Wants to Bay Two or Three. CONSTANTINOPLE, March 12.—In semi- official circles here it {s positively asserted that the administration of the sultan’s civil list is negotiating with the United States government for the purchase of two or three ironclads, which have already been completed in the United States, and it is added that the sum of $200,000 has already been paid on account. DECLARED Finding of a Mars! Case of Helen Corinne Bergen. A marshals jury this afternoon declared Heien Corinne Bergen, the well-known newspaper writer, to be Insane. The un- fortunate woman fs confined at St. Eliza- beth’s Asylum. age TO CONFER WITH THE PRESIDENT. Seeretary Gage W te Some Treasury Otfices Settled. . Secretary Gage will have a conference with the President tomorrow morning in regard to the appointment of three assist- ant secretaries and a chief clerk of the Treasury Department. He is being over- whelmed with applications for these offices, and has concluded that his only salvation from perpetual importunity to the sacrifice of public busiress is to have the appoint- ments made at once. He so informed the President today, and the latter made an engagement to discuss the matter with him tomorrow morning, with a view to immedi- ate acticn. Mr. Carlisle's successor as chief clerk may be announced tomorrow, and it is practically settled that two, and possibly three, assistant secretaries of the treasury will’ be nominated carly next week, ——— aw A Considerable Estate Divided.

In relation to the statement given out at inaugural headquarters yesterday to a Star reporter, and published in The Star, that the loss on the supper, which was estimated last night at $3,000, was due in part to fhe manner in which Caterer Essner sent out invitations, members of the banquet committee state that the dis- tribution of invitations by Mr. Essner had nothing to do with the loss, as his invita- tions were for the private dining room, which could not be entered except through the banquet hall, and the latter, it was thought, could not be entered except by those provided with purchased supper tick- ets. The members say that by some-misun- Serstanding the plans of the banquet com- mittee were changed and doorkeepers al- lowed holders of Mr. Essner’s private invi- tations to enter the banquet room. AT THE WHITE HOUSE|FINANCE AND TRADE Things are Getting Down to Their Normal Standard There, Few Callers Today Becnuse of the Cabinet Meeting—No Change in Cuban Affairs. Normal conditions prevailed at the White House today, and there was nothing in outward appearance to indicate that this was the first week of a new administration. A few callers came in during the forenoon, but no more than would ordinarily visit the Executive Mansion in the regular course of business. The fact that it was cabinet day con- tributed to this condition. The President Proposes to enforce the new rules and not to receive even senators or representatives before 10 o'clock in the morning, nor on cabinet days. Some have been calling as early as 9 o'clock, and the President desires to retain the time between breakfast and 10 o'clock for the transaction of routine business from the departments coming be- fore him. Greater strictness “will be ob- served in the future in regard to the dis- position of papers accompanying applica- tions for office. They cannot be presented to the President, but will be referred, through the usual channels, to the depart- ments to which they relate. Crowd Not So Great. It is a matter of comment among the old visitors at the White House that the crowd of office seekers and their indorsers has not been nearly as large this time as it was four years ago when Mr. Cleveland entered upon his second term. At that time the White House was fairly besieged every day for more than a month. T number of callers each day was several times in excess of the aggregate of any day's attendance this week. Politics makes sirange room mates, as was demonstrated today when two political enemies, J. Sloat Fassett and Warner Mii- ler, found themselves face to face in Sec- retary Porter's room at the White Hous each anxious to sce the President. Mr. Fasseti wanted to talk about the vacancy in the Elmira, past office. The late postmaster fell on Thursday, died on Friday and an applicant for his place showed up in Washington on Saturday. J. E. Milbolland, who is said to be an ap- t for collector of customs at New accompanied Mr. Fassett. Mr. Warner Miller desired to present Mr. Thomas F. Nowell of Boston, who wanted to talk about Alaska. He has large business interests in the territory, and would like to enlist the President’ in a scheme which would provide for a dele- gate from Alaska. The cabinet assembled at 11 o'clock with all of the members present. The cabinet meeting lasted until 12:15, Secretary Bliss and Attorney General Mc- Kenna remaining some time longer. It Was stated positively that no changes in the status of Cuban affairs were brought to the attention of the meeting, and that present conditions of that question were regarded as entirely satisfactory. Most of the time of the meeting, it was stated, was given to the details of organizing the sev- eral executive departments at Washington. ee AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT. i York, Mrs. Ruiz Has a Bricf Interview With Secretary Sherman, Mrs. Rulz, widow of the dentist who was found dead in his cell at Guanabacoa, Cuba, called at the State Department to- day and met Secretary Sherman for the first time. The meeting had been previous- ly arranged by a female friend of the widow, and the hour set was 10 o'clock. Mrs. Ruiz was accompanied by her friend, who acted as interpreter, and py her five children, all dressed in the deepest mourn- ing. Mrs. Ruiz speaks Spanish, and does not understaad English. Secretary Sherman received the party in his private office, and listened with sympathetic interest (9 ' Mrs. Ruiz’s representations. She did not go far into the details of her husband's death; in- Geed, she was unable to do so for want of more than hearsay evidence herself as to the main points. It was, however, her pur- pose, she said, to have all of the facts offi- cially disclosed, and in this she sought the goed oftices of the State Department. She alse expressed her intention of preferring a claim upon the Spanish government for indemnity for the killing of her husband. Secretary Sherman listened for ten or fif- teen minutes to the statements of Mrs. Ruiz, and then, without committing him- self, suggested that she re@uce her state- ment to writing, and subinit it to the de- partment, which might thus use it as a basis for an investigation. Some of the cf- ficlals are inclined to the belief that the proof of Dr. Ruiz’s American citizenship !s not so strong as it should be to make it a national issue. At the White House. About 2 o'clock Mrs. Ruiz and her chil- dren, accompanied by a female interpreter, called at the White House. The two ladies were accorded a short audience by the President in his private office, the children meanwhile waiting in the lobby down stairs. ‘I'he President promised the afflicted widow that the case would be thoroughly investigated, and if her claim against the Spanish government for her husvand’s death was a good one he would do what he could to enforce it. : —_—_____-e+______ FOR THE NEXT CAMPAI Representative McMillin Appointed Chairman of Executive Committee.

Uncertainty as to the Foreign Politi- cal Situation Inspires Caution. OPTIMISTIC FORECASTS ENTERTAINED Industrials ActiveDuring the Greater Part of the Day. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, March 12.—Opening prices this morning were generally steady around last night's final figures, uncertainty as to the foreign political situation contiauing to inspire caution. The undertone was no- ticeably strong at every point not influ enced by the room attacks made under the cover of dullness. The covering of short contracts and particularly good buying of Omaha and New York Central were fea- tures of the day's developments in the regular denartment. There is no disposition to sell long stock in significant qvantities, and optimistic forecasts are entertamed in almost all conservative circles. It is admitted, how- ever, that no occasion exists for extra sant enthusissm. ‘The general outlook ‘ates the harmonious*action of the gr recuperative forces, but the progress slow. Values carnot reasonably be pected to distance actual ccnditiurs. Holders of securities are encouraged, lquidation has ceased and professional selling s to be progressing slowly toward the vanishing point. The market continues narrow and must continue so until the individual losses of the panic period have becn at least partially restor- i. ‘Phe purchasing power of the financial ld mus? continue to be restricted mean- 1- is ex- while. The declaraticns of the reguiar dividend on St. Paul, announced yesterday, diselos the fact that future net earnings for th eal year will go to the surplus fund. Staiements of this character serve to in- spire belief in general improvement later on. The Granger ronds have been con- spicuous features of recent active move- ments and yield stubpornly to the frequent attacks of the room. The fractional declines recorded in the group today were not the result of any slg- nificant selling. 3 The industrials were relatively acti uring the greater part of the day, under manipulation of the customary character. American Tobacco gained 1 per cent on covering inspired by the dismissal of its suit in the chancery courts of New Jersey. Considerable difference of opinion prevails as to the extent to which the merits of this controversy have been decided, The mere dismissal for want of jurisdic- ton would not, of course, influence the merits of the action. For this reason re- selling of the stock became apparent after the noon hour. American Sugar was bought a ternately by the same brokers, 1 prevailing that more stock than sold in the process. The industrial tssues, having fewer an- neyances to conted with than formerly seem likely to become conspicuous legisla tive leaders. The street is naturally inter- ested in the reassembling of Congress, and while disposed to &xpect only z001 results is determined to proceed cautiously. Until the character of the’ new Congress is fully understood speculation on the issues con- cerned is not likely to extend beyond fra ticnal limits.
