Tho air been full of rumors and reports of his ofticial malfeasance while secretary of the interior, ever since he stepped down and out to tuke his seat in the na- tional senate. Every dirty pool of ques- tionable odor which has been stirred up in land frauds, Indian swindling, badly filled contracts and whoiesale claim jumping and occupation of government territory by eattle and railroad corpora- tions, has been connected cither divectly or remotely, with charges against the ex- secretary of the interior. Senator VanWyck's seathing denunciation of Mr. Teller as a pliant tool of the railways, which created so much excitement in the last senatorial session, was followed by a score of editorial assurances from all parts of the west, that the half had not yet been told. Later came the scandal of the Indian lenses in Oklahoma and the cha from San Carlos, and now the supervising architect of the treasury joins the ranks of the accusers with a story which, if ve d, ought to securo Mr. Teller's prompt impeachment. Architect Bell charges that when the new public building at Denver was to be built there was a general demand that Colorado stone should be used in its con- struction. The lowest bidders were the owners of the Rock Creek company, but when Mr. Bell examined the material, he pronounced it wholly unfit for build- ing purposes. At this stage of the pro- ceedings, according to Mr. Bell's statement, Sceretar, sller put in an appearanc and urged the architect to award the contract to the Rock Creck company on the ground that he had o brother who was interested in the quar- ries. Later when Mr. Bell rejected the bid and advertised for others, and when another quarey company was treated in the same way by the supervising archi- cheet, Mr. Teller overruled the decision of Mr. Bell by sending his own expert to muke & favorable report on the quality of the stone and succeeded in getting it ac- cepted.

He is said to have been recom- mended to the churchmen on account of his thorough parish work, and certainly none of those who hiave been most active in pushing Dlm from his present position ean deny that sineo his transter to Trinity the same efforts that were so prominent in his ehurch work in the north have characterized his ahors here, Mr. Millspaugh lias been very active in all that pertains to the pastorate, and also in the organization of eharities and the visitation of the poor.” **a “What coused the pressure against him then?” asked the Bre's represent was not with Mr. Milispaugh as pastor that fault was found by the faction in Trinity th tinally succeeded in seeuring his resignation. While Trinity parish ocenpicd alittle wooden barn-like strueture, the objections to M Millspaugh's ministrations in the caghedral, as it was called, were few and far between, The inauguration of the proceedings for building the new cathedral, and the assurances that the present hndsoms struture was to be the future home of Trinity people, no doubt gave rise among a certain faction that a more eloquent pastor should be secured tor so finished and elegant a structure, You sec Mr. Millspaugh is an every day mang a practical worker in the cause of the ehurch, He is not a Garrett. There's the secret of the whole trouble, T believe. A part of owr congre tion want a high-priced pulpit orator, who will give them their money’s worth in high-lown language and high-toned eloquence—n man - who can wind up the English lanzuage like elock-work and then let the words come forth in the most polished combinations and as duently as water off & duck’s back. Mr. Millsps unfortunately is not that kind of a man, Open expressions of the feelingsof these mists were restrained on : ccount of the regard for Bishinp Clarkson, who was sincercly attached to Mr, Millspaugh, and who at one time had hopes of securing his elevation to a mission- ary bishopric in one of the territories. M Millspaugh himself never gave any eviden that he knew of any such feciing existing against him in the chureh. Ile bore himsell like a Christian gentleman. He fostered no jealousies, and listened to no complaints. His work in guild and in the parish conneeted with Trinity continned with vigor, This was brought azainst him as an additional eause of complaint—that, knowing the fecling against him on the part of a faction in the church, he did mot at once resign in order to prevent further disruption. The dissatisfac- tion, whije probably not extending to a ma- jority of the eongre was, unforti- nately for the pe: arish, voiced by the most prominent of the vestry, M worth, who had done so mueh for the and whose donations to old 1" 10 have amounted to over $35,000, perha more strongly than any other the necessity, as he said, of securing a strong man to 61l the pulpit of the cathedral and to add to the dignity,of the magniticent ecelesinstical sur- roundings. “I have heard it said that Rishop Clarkson, shortly before his death, exacled from Mr. Millspangh that he would not resign the rectorshiip of the eathedral nntil formally ve- quested 1o do g0, The issue was distinetly made at t t Easter election of the vestry, when the opponents of Mr. Millspaugh serted that distinet pledges had been made by Joseph Clarkson and F: Davis—both relatives of the dean—that ‘his resignation would be promptly forthcoming.
