The PIeasantOn- Boutwell, Difficulty.
A Washington special TO the Tribune
says: Few persons here know tonight
what the President has decided to do in
regard to the Boutwell-Pleasanton
trouble. A Cabinet meeting was held
today, and after it closed the President
sent for PleaSanton and was for a long
time in conversation with him, the re-
suit of which has not been made public.
There is rumor current that the Pres
ldent had informed those two officers
that he would not interfere between
them, but that they must settle the diff.
ticulty between themselves. Another
report is that the whole matter has been
referred to the Attorney General, and
that his decision must be final On the
other hand, officials who have the best
means Of knowing say that the differ
ence between the Secretary and Com
missioner is now so great that recon
ciliation is impossible, but that the mat.
ter may be allowed to remain in Statu
quo for the present, the Secretary taking
the high position that he has no
personal grounds OF complaint as long
as the Commissioner does not dlsobey
his orders. The President and Bout.
