Rumor of Quarrel Between the President
and the Secretary Of State.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-It is reported on the
most reliable authority that some very high
words passed between the President and his
Secretary of State at a recent meeting. The
cause of the misunderstanding was the action of
Mr.. Bayard in selecting the appointees for con-
sular and diplomatic places. The President
is said to have told Mr.. Bayard
m very plain language that he
was not at all satisfied with the
selections thus far made for important
diplomatic positions. He is reported to have ac-
cused Mr.. Bayard of too much precipitation in
the selection of men about whom he knows very
little. He cautioned Mr.. Bayard to be more
diplomatic in performing the functions of his
Office, and added that he preferred to retain good
Republicans rather than to appoint bad Demo

O'Brien's Alleged Violation of Neutrality
Laws.

NEW YORK, April 25-The examination of
Capt. John OBren, Of the steamer City of
Mexico, charged with violating the neutrality
laws in carrying munitions of war to the Co
lombian insurgents at Sabanillo, was con-
tinued to-day before the United States commits
sioner. John r. Mccarthy, the first mate of
the steamer, who made the charge was cross
examined. He said he made affidavit in the
case because he thought it was an unlawful
action on the part of the captain. The crew
wanted the witness to put the captain and chi eff
engineer in irons The witness had no private
reasons, other than that the captain was low
and mean in his character. The witness wanted
the captain to divide some money that he got
from the revolutionists, but he did not make the
affidavit on that account When the soldiers
came on board the witness protested, and then
went to his room. Captain OBrien never pro-
posed capturing any schooner, but protested
against it. The witness was instrumental in
preventing the troops taking possession of the
steamer. The captain seemed inclined to give
up the ship at one time, but finally went and got
the American flag.
Santiago Perez de Trano, whose firm shipped
the arms testified to instructing Captain @ Brien
to be careful as to how he approached the port
of Sabanillo and he was to receive instructions
from a Mr.. Perca, an agent, who would be on
the steamer were bought on orders from com
mission houses which had perfect right to give
those orders. His firm acted only as an agent.
He did not know for what purpose the
arms were intended On cross ex-
animation the witness said that
his firm sustained no relations whatever with
the insurgent forces. The trade in arms was
going on continually with other countries
Arms were allowed to enter the United States of
Colombia until notice to the contrary was given
by the government. The witness had heard no
such notice given The witness could not tell
why the invoice had not been certified to by the
Colombian consul at this port.
Captain O'Brien testified that he had carried
the soldiers to save money for his employers.
The agreement was regularly witnessed by the
American consul, and the witness could not see
how he had offended the law. He was to receive
$4O0 day for transporting the soldiers, who
came aboard in fantastic dress" OBren said
that Mccarthy remained in his room tor four
days, and he could not have known what oc
Cured on deck
At this point Mccarthy interrupted the pro-
ceedirgs, shouting His statement is false!"
On cross examination by District Attorney Root,
OBrien contradicted himself several times The
examination will be continued on Monday.

The PRESIDENT Flattered Over the Prospect
of Being Selected as Arbitrator.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-'The President" said
an intimate friend to-day, ''really feels more
fattered over the news that there is talk of sub
mittng the Afghan difficulties to him for arbi-
tration than over any other event in his wonder
full upward career That a man who a few
years ago was LAWYER. with a repu-
tation confined to a small county in New
York, should be thought of as the arbiter of
one of the most complicated questions that has
arisen in the history of the century, has done
more to turn the head of the President of the
United States than any other event in his won
derful career"
'Do you think that he would comply, if for
mally asked to settle the boundary question:
Undoubtedly. And I venture the opinion,
further, tkathe would give such an opinion as to
establish his reputation with the foremost states
men of Europe"

tracts in the Departments.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-"I have learned very
quickly, said Democratic official of the Treas
ury Department, ''that there is very little wool
to great deal of cry over the alleged fraudulent
contracts in the various departments. l have
discovered, after a very slight examination, that
instead of giving contracts for supplies to
bidders who are in the ring, it
has usually, been the custom to stick
to the lowest bidder, even though the material
to be furnished was of an inferior grade. The
cry of fraud, SO frequently raised by a partisan
press has resulted in soaring officials to such an
extent that they have not dared exercise ordi-
nary business discretion in awarding contracts
fearing that in doing SO they would excite unfair
criticism. AS far as I have investigated, 1 have
found that the Republican officials were too
honest, if anything"

Granny Lawrence.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 2o.-"I see the papers
are printing a story to the effect that Judge
Lawrence, late Comptroller Of the Treasury,
gained his sobriquet 'Rammy' Lawrence, be-
cause he secured the removal of duty on hy-
draulic rams, while member of Congress, "
said one Of Mr.. Lawrence's late associates to-
day. ''Now the truth is" he added, ''that that
name was given him for an entirely
different reason. Lawrence was always
the farmers champion, and the Commissioner of
Agriculture, out Of compliment to him, named a
prize ram, Judge Lawrence The picture of
this animal appeared in the annual agricultural
report, and Sunset Cox, in getting off one Of his
drives on Lawrence. held up the picture to the

The wood-Preserving Patents.

WAsHINGToN, April 25.-The Secretary of the
Navy has issued the following order: My atten-
tion has been called to the dealing of this de-
partment with the American Wood Preserving
Company, to the large sums of money paid for
the use of the patent, and recently for the
purchase of a large plant erected at the Bost on
navy yard by the company. Such personal in
vestigation as have been able to make has con-
vinced me that thorough examination and in
vestigation of all matters connected with
the dealings of the government with the compa
ny should be made including an investigation
into the utility of the invention and its practical
value. The government is in posses
sion Of an expensive plant, recent
ly purchased for use in connection
with this invention. I am unable to
find that the invention has gone into general
use, or that private persons are availing of
its supposed superior merits. 1 hereby desig-
nate and detail Capt. Francis M. Bunce and Capt
Henry l.. Hawison to act with Prof. Charles w.
Chandler, of the city of New York to look into
the whole matter and report to me-"

Instructions to Admiral Jouett.
WASHINGTON, April 25-Secretary Whitney
sent the following telegram to-day to Admiral
Jouett, OF Aspinwall
while deprecating an unnecessary intefer-
ence, you will exercise your best judg-
ment, from time to time, after consultation
with American consuls and Others. The general
scope of your duty has been heretofore suffi-
ciently defined and to what extent military in
reference is necessary, from time to time to
carry out former instructions, you must neces-
sarily be the judge, always keeping in mind that
the necessity is regretted here.
Late this afternoon the following telegram,
from Admiral Jouett, was received at the Navy
Department:
1T was absolutely necessary to occupy
Panama to protect the transit and Amer
lean property. The safety of Panama and
of American interests are secured by this
move. Your instructions were published in the
Papama papers No misunderstanding will re-
suit. Government officials will arrive soon,
when everything will be turned over to them,
and we will withdraw
