CUPID'S REVEREND GUARDIAN Washington Pastors Will Not Officiate at the Marriage of Divorced Persons. NATIONAL DRILL ENCAMPMENT, Army News — Court Martials — braska and lowa Pensions— Presidential Appointments ~—National Notes, Disconraging Divorce Suita, WasHiNGTON, May 18.—|Special tele- gram to the B| —Quite a commotion has been caused by the expressed determination of the PPastor’s ulliance ot the District of Co- lumbia, to refuse to marry divorced persons, except where divorce was obtalned on ac- count of adultery as outlined In a Bee speclal last night. All principal ministers in ‘Washington belong to the Pastor’s alliance and enthusiastically endorse the resolution adopted. For many years churchmen have been working to make more stringent laws of marriage and divorce and also to wet con- gress to enact a general law that will be the same in all the states. The formal pussage of this resolution to secure the co-operation of agreat number of pastors of different churches 1s one step toward the accomplish- ment of the reform. Dr. Giesy s well known minister here saysbe thinks that if, when a minister re- fuses to marry persons, for reasons that one of them has a husband or a_wife living, he can tell them that other pastors in the city will not perform the ceremony eit 1t will make people think twice before entering loowli' into marriage and divorce. He thinks that if people wero made to understand that if they were divorced, for any but one se- rious " cause, they could not be married again to any “one else, the; would try and make up their guarrels and try and seo It they conld not b«wln over again and 1ive happily together. hile this resolution 18 not oodligatory he expects good moral re- sults from it. ‘The alarming number of di- vorces that are granted each fcnr. Dr. Gelsy says, make it necessary that there should be something done to correct the evil. Rev. John P, Newman, best known minis- ter in Washington.said to-day: *“I think the primitive causes that dovelop the resolution adopted, grew out of a certain party who a) peared before one of our city pastors and de- sired to be remarried. At all events the case covered the question of divorce for justifi- able reasons. I recognize the justitiable right of separation for other catises than ultery, but I do not recognize the right of remarriage except in cases of divorce for that one cause.” = ‘The Natiol Drill. WASHINGTON, May 18,—|Special Telezram to the BEE.—A prettier plat of ground was never seen than that where the national drill will be held next week. The white lot, which I8 located immediately south of the white house, has been enclosed by ahigh plank fence, and around half of it a capa- clous amphitheater is erected. This Is where the drill will take place. A third of a mlile farther south and around the Washington monument is camp Washington. This looks like the site of n new frontier town, belng half covered by partly finished board houses. Here troops will be camped, Quartermasters’ and other officers’ quarters are nearly com- pleted.

Hough, Moultén, New Points of the lnter-State Law. WASHINGTON, May 18 —Chairman Cooley, of the inter-state commerca commission, in a letter to J. A. Aanley, trafic manager of tho Minnesota & Northwestern railway, who had askeda suspension of the long and short haul elause. in application to certain points on his line, presents new and important points a8 to the duties and powers of the commis- slon under the law, as follows: “Itisobvious that cases the law contemplates, in which the commission s authorized to make orders for suspension are exceptional cases. It does not state the grounds that shall warrant such re- Dief, but it plainly Intends these grounds in eyery case shall be special, particularly that where only general reasons operate, the general law shall beleft to its ordinary course, however serious may be the consequences In particular cases and to particular roads and Interests, It is also made vlain by the ot that any order for suspension was in- 10 be based upon investigation, which he coinmission that the case lulnl;nl: fairly within lMTin- it 81 1 ief. he E“WM the mmm:-lo':l' {; make or- is evidently meant to be sowmewhat closely restricted. It must be assumed that congress intended the general law, in its main features at least, to bea permanent law tor the country. It must, therefore, have contemplated “considerable sacrifices would have to be submitted to by some parties and some Interests while the general law was being _ established, For — very obvi- ous ~ reasons it would be quite impossible to introduce considerabie changes in this branch of the law which con- cerns so intimately the commerce country, without serious consequences to some prl- vate interests. If the law, in its general operation, were to prove generally and equaily mischievous in all directions, the commission, instead of having greater power for that reason would, on the other hand, have no power of suspension whatever, for the slmpr:lud plain reasou that there would then be no excentional cases for it to act upon,therefore no cuses referred by act to Its Jjudgment. The commission must consider in each case what effect giving relief to one ap- plicant will have upon other interests and your knowledge of railroad matters must enable you to percelve that in some soc- tlons of the country granting one application may s0 effect the Interests of other roads as to ‘create the necescity for a like rellef to several more, The satisfaction of one claim begets others equally meritorious, until, i1t all'aro satisfied, exception becomes tho rule. But when such result is probable, reasons for declining to make any temporary order very conclusive, the commission cannot consent deliberately to enter upon the high'way where, to all nr arance, there be no “haltin lace within the limits of its lawful rurlmnt-uon. It a general suspension of the “long and short haul clause’ of the statute is not to be made by single comprehensive order, nelither should thie same result be reached or n‘Pprmclml by granting successive orders in individual casés, In these views the whole commission concurs. Very rospectfully yours, ‘I M. CooLey, Chairman.

A Brace of Runaways — The Elks' Social—-Minnie Maddern—The Palnters' Troubles — The Omahas Win, Another Union Pacific Ohange. 1t is currently reported in railroad cir- cles that the series of changes which have been and are being made among the Union Pacific officials will include the head of the freight auditing department. A railway official, in a position to know wherenf he speaks, states that 1t has al- ready gone out that Mr. Potter has de- cided to reorganize the freight auditing department and that the first stop toward the innovation will be the retirement of the present auditor, David Davis. The cause of the proposed change, it is as- serted, is Mr. Potter's objections to the system under which the affairs of Mr. Davis' department are managed. When the present auditor came here'two years ago he brought with him the sys- tem now in use 1n the Union Pacific freight department,which he had used on the Grand Trunk railway, by which he was employed before he came to Omaha. The system, it is asserted, is a very com- vlex one, and in its oLmrutinn requires a larger number of clerks and sub ofticers than the system which was in vogue in the Union Pacifis department prior to his connection with the department, The system under which the affairs of this department were managed by Mr. Davis’ predecessor, Mr. J. l}i. Taylor, was a very simple and satisfactory one, and similar to that which was in use b; the Burlington system under Mr. Potter's management. Lt is stated that Mr.Potter has made an examination of the aflnirs in the freight auditing department, and has decided to reinstate the old system. By this, it 18 claimed, he can carry out his policy of reducing the working forces in the various departments to the number actually required to perform the work. 1t isstated that by the introduc- tion of the freight auditing system used by the Burlington, and formerly used by the Union Pacitic, the force in the freight auditing department can be reduced by at least fifty men. This is in the line of Mr. Potter’s policy, a8 shown by his re- duction of the superfluous forces in the eneral superindendent’s department. ith the abandonment of the system which has been tound unsatisfactory, the removal of the father of the s; mis a %nclmally necessary accompaniment. 1th the reinstatement of the old system it is also rumored that the freight aud- itor, J. G. Taylor, will be called to his old position. This rumor gains credence from the fact that Mr. Taylor, who is now connected with some Minnesota road, i8 in the city, and has been in closo connection soveral times with Mr. Potter. ‘The change is promised to take eoffect about the first of June. WORK OF INCENDIARIES, Residence Fired During a Social Reception. A Dbrilliant reception that was in progress at General Crook’s residence, at the corner of Seventeenth and Davenport streets last night, was rudely broken up shortly before midnight by a fire which was discovered in the attic of the build- g. The first intimation that the merry- makers had of the fire was the bursting of a volume of smoke from the upper portion of the residence. A hasty ex- amination revealed a blaze in progress in the attic. A bucket brigade, com- posed of gentlemen in full evening dress, was formed, but soon found that the flames were getting beyond their con- trol and an alarm of fire was sent in. The department responded promptly’ and soon had the flames ex- tinguished. The damage was principally in the effect of the smoke and water on the furnishings of the residence and can not be accurately estimated. It will yrobahly reach $1 ‘The origin of the re 1s 2 matter ot mysterv. There was no fire used in any part of the building, except the kitchen, after 6 o'clock. 5\ theory that the fire was the work of an incendiary and was a part of a plan for the robbery, by pickpockets,of the hous and the guests, is generally believed. ,i few minutes before the fire was discov- ered a big burly tramp was found in the hallway trying to shp from the building. He refused to give an account of himself and resisted attempts made to detain him. He was arrested by Officer John Brady and jailed. He gave his name as John Riley but refused to explain his presence in the house. The fire caused a breaking up of the party, which was, until the fire, a most enjoyable affair, as the receptions of General and Mrs. Crook always are. General Crook's LOCKING HORNS TOGETHER.

THE TROOPS'IN WYOMING. ~rr— A Citizen of That Territory Expresses His Mind Concerning It. In a talk with a Wyoming man yester- day a reporter learned that the senti- ment of the people 1n the territory is that the president doesn’t know anything about Wyoming. Wrhile it is true that a good many acres of land are fenced illig- ally, and while the owners of the fences have not, in instances, complied with the president’s proclamation, there is no dis- position to dispute or impede the de- struction of such fences by the author- ized government agents and such a thing as military force is neither needed nor excusable. The Wyomingites feel that the special assignment of a company of cavalry to Cheyenne to accompany gov- ernment agents on the fence cuttin, raids of the latter, which are evidently contemplated, is an insult to their patri- otism and far more llku)ym provoke than to repress opposition. I should not be surprised,” continued the speaker, “if the troop of cavalry will be worried consid- erably. In the first place, the cowman of the plains has as little rospect for the regular army as the average Indian has. The cavalry are not adapted to the work of riding over the long stretches between water in some parts of the territory. They are equipped with horses that have no ndnpmlfl]ity to that kind of service. The broncho is the only equine beast which can be used to advantage there. He is little and of ugzly disposition, but he can live longer on amouthful of bunch grass and go farther and lay down and roll in the ecstacy of good spirits at the end of a fifty miles run than three Ore- gon or American horses, The broncho will not be used in cnvalry service be- cause he don't look well on dress parade, But he has the (ncull}y; of living on air, which the American horse hasn’t. “When I say that the troopers will be worried, I don't mean tkat any of them will be shot at. But lhe[‘; will be both- ered in ways that the cowboy knows how to use, which will be indireet, but not the less cftectual. ““The cowboy himself doesn't care how many fences are cut. He is rather glad of 1t, But there are large outlits which have great tracts fenced, and, of course, the cowboy works under orders the same as anybody. [ don’t think the troops will do any more than the govern- ment officials could huve done had they once started in, and it gives Wyoming a bad reputation to have it telegraphed abroad that it's necessary to gsend troops out there. All the ownevs of fences have done is to say in response to the presi- dent’s proclamation: ‘If you want these wires cut down and these posts dug ur, do it yourself.’ Y\u.k\‘v'yommg man I8 big fool enough to think (that he could tight the United States government. But such fool performances s tnis by the presi- dent don’t make auy better lovers of the administration of them." pli A7 THEIR TROUBLES NOT SETTLED, The Master Painters Meet and Pass stesomsions, A meeting of fAd Master Painters’ associntion was beld last might in the rooms over Morrell's pharmacy on Six- teenth street. The:vdeeting was largely attended and the question of their trouble with their employes discussed at length. The result of,the meeting is set forth in the following resolution: Resolved, By the Master Painters’ assocl- ation, in reply to a request from the strikers for a new proposition, that, having offered to submit the differences in dispute between employer and employe to arbitration, we have done all that can with reason be re- quired, and our proposition having been unanimously rejected by the executive com- mittee, we do now refer the matter to each employer to settle with his former employes a8 he thinks best.

Last evening Miss Minnie Maddern ap- pearcd at Boyd’s opera house, in ‘‘Miss Rebecea; or a Matter of Business The piece is a translation from the German, by Louis Koch, leading man of the Ger- man Theater \'alllp:m{, of this city. y is not adapted to Miss Mad- her is Miss Maddern adapted She has very little to do, and that little mi‘fm be done as well as it needs be done by an actress who does not es: leading roles. The picce lacks the refine- ment which has characterized Miss Maddern’s latest plays — those in which she has afforded our peo- ple the greatest entertalnment, t can scarcely be understood why Miss Maddern should attempt a picce, avow- edly of the alleged ‘‘farcical-comedy’” order, with but few effective situations, and with no more ennobling or inspiring motive than to create merriment over the suspicion on the part of a wife of the de- votion of her husband, In attaining this climax a great denl has to be said and a great deal to be done in which the audi- ence find little to interest them, The actors struggled, but without sue- cess. None of them seemed to appreci- ate their parts and none of them had per- fectly memorized their lines, Their aot- g as a consequence was little more than a poor rehearsal, For a voice and limb company there is foundation in Mr. Kach's translation for a successful piece, but some attention must be paid to the continuty of the plot and the retouching of the characters. MANAGER BOYD'S CFIT, The benefit to Manager Boyd, of the opera house, will take place to-night. Minnie Maddern and company will pre- sent *‘Caprice.” The popularity of Mana- gor Boyd and the charming little actress who appears on the occasion of his bene- fit, should be suflicient to pack the Boyd from parquet to gallery. If the genial manager’s friends turn out en masse the finuncial success of the performance is as certain as is the fact that artistically it will be all that could be asked. Birthday Present. Last evening Colonel A. H. Forbes was presented with a costly gold headed cane y Mr, H. M. Rothery. T'he event oc- curred at the Iatter’s place of business on Dodge street. Mr. Henry Parrish made the presentation speech, referring to the colonel’s thirty-eighth birthday and other facts in his life in a neat and eloquent manner, Colonel Forbes replied with thanks for the gift and although taken completely by surprise he talked in a strong and amable manner. A bounti- ful repast was turnished by Messrs. E ward and H. M. Rothery, after the cane presentation, of which over two hunared uests partook, Speeches were made by rof. Miller, P.
