BUSINESS AMONG THE DEPARTMENTS
SperiaI 10 the RsgiRcr.

WASHINGTON, March 23-Among the
Presidents callers to-day was ex-senator
Henry G. Davis, who was received in the
most cordial manner. Mr. Davis had quite
a lengthy call with the President, but the
call was merely Of social character, and
nothing that could be construed as political
was touched upon in their conversation.
Mr.. NJ. J. O'Brien, of Charleston, who, as
stated, desires to succeed John Fehrenbatch,
of Cincinnati, as Supervising Inspector OF
Steam Vessels, was also a caller at the
White House. He was accompanied BY
Senator Kennedy AE whom he was intro
duced to the Presids&. Mr.. Robert Simp-
son, of Wheeling, and Colonel W.
Y. Chancellor, j. W. Thomp-
son, and Mr.. Neal, Of Park
ersburg, were also visitors at the
Executive Mansion and shook hands
with the President. Later il the day ex-
Senator Davis paid his respects to Secretary
Day laru anu eAleuueu nAlu o COIulal LufLlo-
ton to visit Mr.. Davis at Deer Park when
the hot weather comes. Mr.. Davis also
called on Commissioner Evans in the Treas
ury Department and extended him his
hearty congratulations. NJ. Miller takes
hold of his new duties and performs them
with quite as much ease as if he had been
in the Office year
Col. J. ]. S. Hassler qualified this morn
ing as chief of the appointment division of
the Interior Department. he was received
by Mr.. Hood, his predecessor, who ex-
planned the general business Of the
office Mr.. Hassler has pleasant manner
and make good impression. None OF the
numerous applications made by West Vir-
ginians who are desirous of securing posi-
sitions as postmasters have yet been re-
ceived at the Postoffice Department from
the Senators or West Virginia Representa-
tives. sThe Senate expects to adjourn on
Wednesday and it is probable that those

leave the city.

A BLANK CARTRIDGE DUEL.

Two Youths Bang Away ut Each Other
and are None the Worse.
LAWRENCE, KAN, March 23.-Quite an
excitement was created here yesterday over
a duel between Don Crew, the son Of the
Republican candidate for Mayor, and q
young man named Newberg from Leavon:
worth. The trouble grew out Of a little
squib that appeared in the Lawrence Jour
nal yesterday, giving an account of q "snipe
hunt" in which it was stated that Newberg
held sack and candle for several hours
waiting till the snipes were driven in.
Crew was said TO be the author of the
story, and was requested to apologize. He
refused to do so, and told Newberg to go to
the ID" A challenge was sent and
accepted, the weapons to be shot,guns at
thirty PAGES. Three prominent business
men acted as seconds and referee. The
seconds loaded the guns with blank cart
ridges.
When the word was given both guns
we're discharged and Crew fell. Some
chickens blood was sprinkled on him, and
Newberg thought he had killed his man, A
crowd who had got wind of the affair rushed
up to see what the result was, and Newberg,
thinking they were going to arrest or lynch
him, drew a revolver and began firing at
the crowd, which dispersed in every direc.
ton. The revolver had also been loaded
with blank cartridges and no one was in
jured.
Newberg was brought to the city from the
dwelling ground and consulted an attorney
who informed him that Crew had been
badly wounded and defined the ofense.
Newjerg becamed alarmed and took the
first train for topeka.
