HARRISON'S SOUTHERN POLICY. 1t s Endorsed By Prominent Colored Men—The Census Bureau Overs run With Applicants For Clerkships. Wasnixerox Buw Wasnixoros, D. ( Blanche K. Bruce, at one time a United States senator from Mississippi, and under the late ropublican administration register of the treasury, is to succced General Rose- crans in his old position, unless the present programme is changed. General Rosecrans, by the operation of an act of the last session of congress, will go on the retired list of the army as a brigadier general within a few days, and 1t is stawed that he is willing to be reiieved from the position as register of the treasury at that time, Ex-Senator Bruce, who i a representative colored man, and who has appeared on the lecture rostrum throughout the country since he retired, a little over four years ago, in order that Gen- eral Rosecrans should have a position, cawme to Washington very soon after President Harrison’s inauguration, and has remained here almost constantly. About two years ago he took up his residence in Indianapolis, and announced that henceforth he would be a vona fide resident of Indiana. Whether he has exercised the rightof a citizen in Indiana is not known here, and there is some curios- ity expressed in Washington as to whether he will be cha when he is appointed, to Indiana or Mississipy In its white nouse gossip the Evening Star says: “Thelowadelegation has ail its eyes fixed on the position of register of the treas- ury. It wants that place for C. E. Foster Somsbody may ask, ‘who is C.” E. Foster! In himseif Le 'is comparatively a local per- sonage, but us the husband of Mrs, J. Ellen Foster he assumes the dimensions of a na- tional character. Not only is Mr. Foster supported by the Iowa republicans, but he also has the enfhusiastic endorsement of the great army of prohibitionists, whose opposi: tion to the formation of a third party is un- compromising, Every republican politician who watched the last campaign is willing to consede Mrs. Foster's title to recognition rom this administration, From that June day, when General Harrison was nominated, until November 6, she worked, and talked, and preached, and prayed that' the prohibi tionists might not throw awuay their votes or sentiment, but that they should yote with a party whom she claimed believed in practical temperance. The vosition of registrar pays £4,000, and the duties are not too ardurous. There is n possibility that the incumbent, General Rosecrans, may be permitted to re: main. A number of the general’s old com- rades, irrespective of political beliefs, are urging his retention.” OVERRUN WITI APPLICANTS, Mr. Robert P. Porter, the new superintend- ent of the census bureau, is almost overrun with applicants for ofice. As a matter of fact, he has no oftices to fill at present. ““Tnere are 1,500 clerks and assistants to ap- point,” he said to day, **but I can not appoint them before the fall of 1890 or 1591, There “are.at present only a few experts to be ap- pointed, and gll of those have already been chosen. The blanks sent east will not e re- turned for at least a year, and it is not until then that we will.be able to employ the cler- 1cal force, Theére were scarcely any appoint- ments at _the last census before the fall of 1880. A youy y wus in ury office and wanted employ She had worked on the last census *‘When were younppointed the last time?’ I asked. ¢On August 17, 1880, she answered. “‘Very well,’ 1 said, ‘spare me until August 17, 1500, and you shall be appointed.’ There will be practically no appointments by me until after the fall of 18%0, and the civil service commission may have got hold of the bureau by that time.” TOOK THE OATIL OF OFFICE, John R. Lynch, the colored man who was appointed fourth auditor of the treasury, and charged to Mississippi, took the oath of oftice to-day and will be given a leave of ab- sence for about & menth to enable him to go 1o his native stato and close up his private business preparatory to assuming his official duties, While in Mississippi he will attend o republican convention where he expects the question of President Harrison's atti- tude toward the south will be brought up for endorsement. Mr. Lynch wus temporary chairman of the natioual convention at Chi- engo in 1884, is a fluent speaker, a ready parliamentavian, and it 8~ more than likely in view of his recent recognition at the hands of the administration, that he will preside over the convention. He very ardently believes that AU, Tie Ovana Bere, ——the policy being exercised toward the south in the distribution of ,fices, and the en- forcement of the geueral laws, is the best that could be done “oward breaking down the lines which have madea north and south, and which have resulted so disastrously to the black and white republicans of the south. RAYNER'S REVOLT. Ex-Congressman Rayner has determined to vut loose from the Gorman rulo of democ- racy in Maryland, and his speech at Balti- more, to-night, 18 looked upon us the opening his 'fight against the Gormun ele- ment. Ever since Mr. Rayner's entran into congress, Mr. Gorman has eyea him askance, fearing in the brilliant young ora- tor a dungerous rival. Mr. Rayner recog- nizes that it was Gormaun, Rasin and Luana han that knifed him and’ defeated him for re-election last fall, and he is openly deter- mined to pay hum all back. Mr. Gorman’s term in the senate expires two years hence, and Mr. Ruyner now proposes to organize an independent demoeracy in Maryland, which will elect a leyislature” two years hince to defeat and crush Mr. Gormlan forever and send Mr. Rayuer to the senate. Mr. Rayner has brains and practically unbounded wealth, and the latter is the alwighty lever in Mary- land politics. M orman has sought to conciliste Rayner by the offer of the gov- ernorship, but the lutter deciined o listen to any overtures. o wants Gorman defeated in Marylund, even if he must sacrifice the party o do it. PERSONAL, M. A. Woodruff, of Dubuque, Ia., is regis- tered ot Wormiey's, and A. 5. Rhomburg, of Dubuque, is at the Ebbitt.

Nrw Yonk, May 21.—At to-day's session of the Presbyterian general assembly, Rev. Dr. Nichols, chairman of the committee on home missions,read his report which recommended that for the ensuing year the sum of $S75,- 000 be authorized for the use of home mis- sions. This large amount is considered necessary because of the rapid rate at which the western and northwestern portions of this country are being settled and for work among the white and black population of the south, The Woman's Home Mission, un- aided and alone, raised 361,000 during the year. When the afternoon session opened Rev. Dr. Hamlin, of Washington, spoke and dis- approved of using foreign languages in church work, and thougnt the use of Ger- man should not be continued beyond the first generation, Rev. Dr. Ambrose C. Smith. of Illinois, wanted to know just how many first genera- tions there were,” “You have first genera- tions of Germans and other pationalities coming here to-day, and this will probably continue for years to come. We want to ovangelize and Americanizs the Europeans arriving in this country. The only means we have to do this is through the graduates of the two schools sustained by this assem bly, who can preach to their countrymen in thie German tongue,” Dr. Smith thought if the German the- ological school at Dubuque, of which he is president, got an endowment of $100,000, it could fulfill its mission of educatine and evangelizing the German population of the northwest for all time. Some speakers referred to the effective work being done by the synod of Minnesota among the Scandinavians and Bohemial It was ugreed to add another secretal the force of the board of home missions, and it was decided he must be able to preach in German, The report of the standing committee of the board of aid for colleges was presented by Rev. Dr. Thos. S. Huastings. One-third of the Presbyteriau churches had made dona- tions. Dr. Hastings said the board of aid would require £100,000 or $200,000. The re- port recommended that the bible be adovted as the only text 'o.dii iny sch ol endowed by the board of aid; tuat spcial attention be paid to the establishment of a Presbyterian academy midway between a common school and a college, The report and recommenda- tions were unanimously adopted. The Southern Prasbyterians. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn,, May 21.—In the Southern Presbyterian gencral assembly to- day the committee to whom was referred the consideration of the report of the committeo on conference with the northern church re- commended the adoption of the report as a whole. The report was adopted. After this decision, the Charleston presby - tery passed a resolution fortidding all public contending against the decision of the as- sembly. The synod of South Carolina de- clared this actiou unwise, irregular and un- constitutional. This precipitated a fight in the general aesembly. The committee, to- day, recommended that the action of the state synod be approved so far as it declared the action of tne Charleston presbytery unw This report was called at 2 p. m, for discussion, and an hour’'s exci- ted debate followed as to the limiting of speeches, ete. The ussembiy during this time much resembled a political convention. Finally an allotment was sgreed upon and speeches were made pro and con. The Cumberland Assembly. KANsA8 City, Mo., May 21.—At to-day's session of the Cumberiand Presbyterian general assembly, the overture of two Illi- nois Presbyterian churches asking for the formation of a new synod was denied. The report on missions as adopted indorsed the call of the board of missious for £0,000 dur- ing this year and provided for the raising of this umount by apportioning it among the presbyteries. The receipts for the past year show a gain of but $200 ove» those of last year, while theexpenditures are much greater leaving a debt of £6,000. The Lutheran Synod. Cuteaco, May 21.—At to-day’s session of the Illinois district of the Missouri synod of the Evangelical Lutheran church the mem- bers signed a petition fo the state legislature, asking an amendment of the proposed com- pulsory education law. They are opposed to the bill as it now reads, because it requires all the schools to teach the five elementary brauches in English, e A DISAPPOINTED AUDIENCE. They Expected to See Kyrle Bellew Pelted With Rotten Eggs. Cuicaco, May 21.—[Special Telegram to —Lkor several days past a rumor been current that a number of friends of Leslie Carter had decided to attend McVicker's theatre, to-might, on the oc- casion of the appearance of Mrs. James Brown Potter and Kyrle Bellew, prepared to give the latter person a very disagrecable reception, to whicb, it was hinted, bad eggs and decayed vegetables would contribute. Ever since the exploiting of Mr, Bellew's various deeds of gallantry, as set forth in his deposition and cross-examination in the Carter case, there has been a strong feeling of indignation ugainst the man, which has been added to by the editorial comments in the local papers. Many, therefore, were heard, to-day, to openly express the hope that he might be accorded such a reception as rumored. Nothiug serious came to pass, however. The theater was crowded, and on the first appearance of Bellew and Mrs. Potter oa the stuge 4 very vigorous hiss was given, which was ropeated again & short time afterward. The actor and actress were both very nerv- ous for some time, and apparently were an rrrm-.m;uur the nature of their reception by the audience. Beyond the hissing, noth- ing of an unusual nature occurred, and many who went to the theater for no other purpose than to see the disgraceful demonstration, came away disappoiuted, - - RAILROADING.

It was like lifting a great load off the shoulders of everybody who has been en- gaged in the trial, closely or remotely, when Attorney Hynes finished his speech at 2:50 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The court's instructions to the jury consumed ten min- utes in reading, and were succinct, terse, and at the same time comprehensive. Both sides were satisfied, which does not often happen, In closing his very lengthy speech, Attorney Hynes made a powerful, effective and uffect- ing plea for his lady client. He said that Carter could take all his money; Mrs, Car- ter's only demand was the vindication of her honor and the recovery of her darling boy. Notonly her heart, her life, and her carcer, but her reason hinged upon the ver- dict, Mrs. Carter cried profusely, The jury retired at 8:10, and from that lour the dignity which pervaded the court room was relaxed.

New Yonk, May 21.—[Special Telegram to Tnr Brg.]—Arguments in the motion of Mrs. Harriot Hubbard Ayer, against James M. Seymour, Allan Lewis Seymour, his son and the husband of Mrs. Ayer's daughter, and the plaintif’s ¢aughter, Mrs. Harrict Seymour, for an interlocutory injunction re- straining the defendants from voting on 408 shares of stock of the Recamier Manufactur- ing company, were heard in the common pleas court yesterday and decision rescrved. Before April 9, 1887, Mrs. Ayer was en- gaged in manufacturing Recamier prepara- tions. At that time Seymour, she alleges, induced her to form a company for the more oxtensive manufacture and sale of proprie- tary articles. Her recipes were transferred to the new company, and as a working capi- tal to be used at once she paid into the com- pany’s treasury £7,000. For the recipes she received 1,000 shares of the camtal stock of the company, each share of the value of 0. But in order to float the stock, 250,000 was required, and this Mrs. Ayer says was procured for her by James M. Seymour and was secured by her by the transfer to him of 498 shares of the stock to be hela as collat- eral, and,ns sho says, by agreement be- tween herself and the defendant, not to be used for voting purposes. While she was in Europe in 1888 she afirms that her daughter’s husband and his father conspired to secure possession of the shares, to destroy her reason and her health, and to deceive her daughter in regard to her condition. Both here and in Stuttgart says the defendants caused to be admini tered to gher dangerous drugs and endeav- ored to persuade her daughter Harriet that she was insane. She also charges that her certificate for 408 shares was cancelled and a new one made transferring them. Seymour, in his reply, makes a general de- nial of the charges. Some of the evidence introduced by the defense is in the form of letters, which promise to make this case a cause celebre. Among these letters is one written by young Margaret Ayer to her sister in New York, while Mrs. Ayer was abroad, in which Margaret says her mother had just left for Paris, and that she (Margaret) is glad to be left alone to resume her studies. She vaguely refers to a dreudful habiv her mother has (which is presumably the morphine habit), finds _fault with her for *‘telling so many liés,” and says in one place: “How I wish our mother was good. I[t's awful, and the only thing we can do is to try and make ourselves as much unlike her as we can. Idon’t think she is pretty, either, for if you ever got all the paint, rouge,white- wash and dye off, you'd sce she is much dif- forent than you thought she was. 1 think it was very mean of her to leave papa as soon a8 ho lost his money." A letter to Mrs. Seymour from Miss How- ard, who was governess to Murgaret, is also introduced. Miss Howard was even more “caustic. She says-of Mrs. Ayer: ‘‘L consider her. without any moral sense—morally in- sane. She les to berself, She s cruel, sel- fish and ignoble. 1 have watched these traits for one month, in which she has not taken one drop of alcohol. 1 may be wrong in my prognostication, but I beheve that only death will cure her excesses or herlies. Her low notions are 1 her bones, fibre ana blood. I am willing to attribute much to the long use of morphine, although 1 confess cause and effect are tangled up. I simply say, from the start she had no prin- ciple, no selr control, no truth, no pure, no unselfish love. She sent her little daughter for brandy at Roucn, and continually after drank in ner presence She took Margaret into cafes and gave her cheese and beer, told lies, and bribed her with presents to deceive, ete. But Margaret 18 far too keen not to finally counect these scattered facts aud draw her own conclusions, especially when she saw her mother drink tooth wash and helio- trope.” Mrs. Ayer's career in Chicago as a leader in high society, us the wife of the great ron merchant, up to the time of his financial crash, was one of great magnificence. Her doings as a writer and the manufacturer of various lotions, ete., since leaving Mr. Ayer, are well known to Beg readers. To many of her friends these proceedings are a tremen- dous surprise, and the outcome will be watched with great interest. Seymour's Side of the Story, NEw York, May 21.—{Special Telegram to Tae Bee.]—The strange case of Mrs. Harriet Hubbard Ayer, against her daugh- ter and son-in-law, his father and Miss How- ard, was the talk of the city to-aay. She further compHeated the case this afternoon by placing in Judge Daly’s hands an addi- tional afiaavit which flatly denied the sworn statement of James Seymour that he was given half of the stock of the Recamier Cream company for organizing and managing the company. Judge Daly’s de- cision is not expected for some days. Every- body connecked with the case seemed cool, ‘with the exception of Mrs, Ayer. She would not say anyting about the létters which are said to have been written by her younger daughter, now with Miss Blanche Willis Howard, at Stuttgart. Seymour was found at the office of the company, n Park Place, He was appurently unconcerned and was going on with his duties as assistant treasurer of the company, ‘‘There was a conspiracy,” said he, “and that was to cure Mrs. Ayer of the alcohol habit. 'We entered into it and persuaded her to go abroad for treatment, but it is absolutely false that I at- tempted to persuade Ler to take bromide of lithia. And her own daughter will swear that she never left any papers in a box which, she suys, 1 stole, The truth is that Mrs, Ayer is mot responsible for this She was mnot responsible for her actions before she started for Europe, and the trustees had to meet and take action about her property, Thut was the way in which 1 came to be made the assistant treas- urer of the company. The 493 shares are in the hands of my daughter, to whom I gave them. Neither I nor my son has re- ceived uny compensation. Mrs. Ayer was one of my friends snd I don't want to say anything to nurt her.” e Forest City In Arms.

A guard of honor was formed of a squadron of cuirassiers and escorted the new ited States minister to the Elysee palace, pre- senting arms in the court yard of the palace. Whitelaw Reid was presented to M. Car- not by M. Dormessan, with tho usual cere- mony. Mr. Reid said “I have the honor to prosent a letter from the president of the United States, accredit- ing me as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to the French republic, Sharing fully, as I do,jthe sentiments of high rogard for tho people and government of France, which our president expresses and the whole American people cherish, it will be my aim here to promote their continuance.

We never forget that you gave us a support which helped to make our revolution successful, and it is this mewmory which quickens our sympathies and interest in the magnificent display of arts and peace, with which you crown your anniversary. “I am instructed that there is not a shadow of a question 1n disbute between the two re- publics to cloud the historic friendship, which has endured for a century, and which we hope may be perpetual. 1beg you, Mr. President, to receive expressions of my pro- found respect.” Slsaght WRETOHED IRELAND. O’Brien Describes 1ts Condition Be- fore the Loague Was Formed LoxvoxN, May 21.—William O'Brien testi- fled before the Parnell commission to-day He gave the details of the agrarian out- rages which occurred in Tipperary prior t the organization of the league, and said the league prevented wholesale famine and fear- ful want in the west of Ireland in 1870, and that no murders had been com: mitted in Tipperary since its formation. O'Brien described the wretched condition of the people in Ireland prior to the formation of the league. Tuey were n debt up to their he said, and had absolutely no redress the exactions of the lundlords, The condition of affairs 1 Mayo, when Davitt formed the league there, was appalling. Wholesale famine and bankruntey seemed inevitable. The farmers sold everything at o dead loss. The landlords did nothing to alleviate the distress, They denied that any distress existed. O'Brien stated that he approved of boy cotting. He believed 1t prevented crime. Reid, of counsel for the Parnellites, read an article from United Ireland, denouncing the Phoenix park murderers and asserting that the assassins. if discovered, would be more likely to be lynched in . Dublin than in London, O'Brien said tho anger expressed in the article was undoubtedly genuine. The view of the nationalists was that the government should pursue a policy of conciliation, and thus obtain the people’s sympathics with the laws. The government, in 1882, sup pressed United Ireland because the witness charged the government, in that paper, with getting up crime, which charge he was per- fectly prepared to prove. O’Brien attempted to enter into details, but Attorney-General Webster objected, and the objecticn was sustained by the court. BRITISH STEAMERS COLLIDE. The German E r Sunk by the Beresford.

She May Haggle About Indemnity and Tripartite Governmenty but This Must be Cone o ded. Biamne's Alleged Ultimatam, (Copyright 1859 by New York Assciated Press.) Beruiy, May 21.—From cortain indications at the rooms of the Amorican delegates, as well ag at the quarters of the English com« missioners and at the Germau foreign office, it is evident that there is somo sorious hiten in the negotiations of the Samoan comnis- sion. Mr. Phelps, who is known as ‘‘the peacemaker,” is in ovident trouble. First he is interviewing an English commissioner in his own rooms, then ho is hurrying off to the foroign office, where he remains for some time closcted with the German rep- resentatives, and then repeats the process. When asked as to the situation, Commission- ers Phelps, Kasson and Bates says there is no great change, and everything is progressing satisfactorily, Boththe German and Eng- lish commissioners refuse to talk on the sub- ject, but it is learned from other sources that the United States government has in- structed its commissioners to insist upon the return of Malietoa us King. A message is said to have been received from Secretary Blaine within the past thir- ty-six hours directing the commissioners to insist upon the restoration of the status quo, and saying that Germany deposed Malietoa as king and must roturn him as king, They may haggle about indemnity or a unit of dual or tripartite government if they please, but Malietoa must be king. While the Germans have come to aeree with all the other views of the American commissioners they are_roluctant to accept this_condition, aud point to the fact thay Mulietoa was pardoted by the German em- peror at the beginning of the conference. “This, they claim, should satisfy Awmerica. It is thought that the crisis will be reached at the meeting of the conference to-day. The American commissioners last night were quiet and conciliatory in their utter- ances _concerning the sifuation, but ex- pressed the determination to remain firm. Later—The special correspondent of the Associated press here was informed this cvening that Germany has finally consented to restore King Malictoa. This ac ion_was taken aftor prolonged and persistent efforts on the part of the American commi-sioners, 13ut now comes another hiteh in the negotia- tious. This fresh difiiculty grows out of the claim for indemuity made by Germany. An- other section of the conference holds that if any indemnity is paid it must be a merely nominal sum. Germany, on the contrary, maintaius that in the conflict between the Ger- man forces and the Samoans, the latter were invariable the agg ors. Besides the na- tive partisans of King Malietoa were gailty of beheading German sailors as well as in- flicting upon the wounded particular cruel- ties. ‘These acts, Germuny insists, should entail upon Samoa the payment of a special indemnity, Earnest offorts ave making n committee to settle the dispute, but the mats ter is very likely to require reference to & plenary conferen ce. Officinls Retuse to Talk, WasniNGToN, May 21.—As far as can be learned, the department of state has not yet been officially advised of the reported hitch in the Samoan conference. Prominent offi- cials of the department, when approached to- day, flatly declined to 'say anylhing about the matter as, in thewr view, discussion of the subject under consideration would violute the diplomatic proprieiies. Doubtless the United States representatives have broached the subject of the restoration ot Malietoa, as their instructions were presumably colored by the debates in the iast congress taking this stand, but just how far thoy are in- structed to persist in their contention can not be learned, Ll A ROYAL REC Humbert Welcomed to by Emperor William. Beniix, May 21.—King Humbert, the crown prince of Italy, and Signor Crispi, the I n prime minister, arrived in Berlin this morning.
