MINOR MENTION.
An Indiana Poet Meets with Disappointment
at the White House.

An Indiana Poet Meets with Disappointment
at the White House..
Washington Special.
The last of the callers were about leaving the
White House this afternoon when a man who
gave his name as Captain James M. Harrington,
of Jacksonville, Ind, stepped up to the door
with q request that he would like to SEE the
President, adding that Vice-president Hendricks
had sent him. On being questioned as to his
business he said he desired to read to the Presi-
dent an allegorical essay, prose and poetry, on
'The Irrepressible Conflict Of Public Sentiment. /"
He thereupon produced from his overcoat pocket
a package of about forty pages of foolscap paper.
The door-keeper offered to take it, say
poetry that came before it was sent to the
President, but the Captain declined for the
reason, he said, that the chirography was poor
and so much interlined that any one except him
self would have difficulty in reading it. The
door-keeper, under the circumstances, refused
admission, and he went away grumbling. AS
he was leaving the Captain said he had been for
years a river pilot at st. Louis, and he thought
he had a better idea of the cause of the war than
any other man living; that he had penned his
thoughts in leisure moments, and that he
thought the President would be better off if he
had heard his essay. He said he had a talk
with Vice-president Hendricks during the early
part of the day, but that Mr.. Hendricks had no
kind of appreciation of poetry or prose unless
there was some red-hot politics in it. He said
Mr.. Hendricks tired of it after hearing but seven
pages, and he suggested he let the President
hear the remainder.

Indignation of the Settlers.

ST. Paul, Mimi. April 1L-Dispatches to the
Globe from Chamberlain, Canning, Mitchell,
Huron, Pierre, and other points interested in the
Winnebago reservation indicate that much feel.
ing and great hardship will ensue from the
proclamation by President Cleveland v~acating
President Arthur's order opening the reservation
to settlement. The dispatches say indignation
meetings will probably result when the order is
generally promulgated. The settlers have,
it is stated, completed their seeding. and all
have invested in improvements, and to be evicted
would bankrupt many. One dispatch says the
old soldiers among the settlers declare it is rank
injustice that their little homesteads should be
taken after they have been entered upon in good
faith, when no benefit would accrue to the In
dams who make no use of them. Trouble is
feared, and force may be required to disposses
them.

Colonel Boudinot has not recently felt safe to
live among his people, and is constantly in re-
ceipt of anonymous communications threat
ening him with the same fate. Many
persons labor under the delusion that
Colonel Boudinot is related to the dis
tinguished pubiicist and philanthropist, Elias
Boudinot, Of Pennsylvania, of Revolutionary
days, who was president Of the Continental Con-
gress, subsequently a member of the House,
after the adoption Of the Constitution, and the
second director of the mint, Colonel Boudinots
father, a full blooded Cherokee, was sent North
to be educated. and having none but an Indian
cognomen took the name of Boudinot, from
Elias Boudinot, who became the young chiefs
patron and friend, which name ne subsequently
retained and transmitted to his son, a half-blood.
Colonel Boudinot closely resembles General
Logan, especially III shape and expression OF
features, being of the same complexion, although
wearing his hair longer and his beard differently.
He is quite tall, aud walks with a cane. 1t is
stated that he will soon be appointed to one of
three Indian inspectorships, an Office of consid-
cradle Importance, and provided with a good

THE CASE OF GENERAL HAzEN.
Reprimanded by the President and Restored
To His Office.

to His Office.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE court-martial
proceedings in the case of Gen. William B. Ha-
zen were made public today. The sentence is a
reprimand, which is made by the President as
follows:
''The proceedings, findings and sentence in the
case of Brigadier-g general William B. Hazen,
Chief Signal Officer U. S.. A., are hereby ap-
proved. In giving effect to the sentence of the
court-martial, it is to be observed that the more
exalted the rank held by an officer of the army,
the greater is the responsibility resting upon
him to afford, through his own subordination to
his superior officers. an example for all others
who may be of inferior rank in the same. To
an officer of fine sensibilities the mere fact
of being brought to trial before a court
martial must be. in itself, a modification
and a punishment. In the foregoing
cease the accused, whose high rank and long ex-
Eperience in the service should have inspired him
with a full realization Of that respect for consti-
.tuted authority which is essential to military
discipline, has been a~djudged guilty Of indulg-
ing in unwarranted and c~aptious criticism Of his
superior officer, the Secretary of War, thereby
setting a pernicious example. subversive of dis
cipline and the interests of the service. Subor-
dination is necessarily the prime duty of a SOL
dier, whatever his grade may be. In losing sight
OF this principle, the accused has brought upon
himself the condemnation of his brother officers,
who examined the charges against him, and has
seriously impaired his own honorable record Of
previous conduct. It is to be hoped that the les
son will not be forgotten. General Hazen will
be released from arrest, and will assume the
duties of his Office"

GEORGE W. WILLIAMS.
Mr.. Hendricks Desires the Place for One of
His Friends.

MR.. Hendricks Desires the Place for One Of
His Friends.
Washington Special.
Mr.. George W.. Williams, minister to Hayti,
declares that the State Department has attempted
TO force him to resign, and that Vice-president
Hendricks informed him that he was expected
to resign, as ne lHendricks) had a man for that
position himself. Minister Williams says:
cit is not a personal matter now. This is the
fight Of every brave, honest colored man in the
country. am not fought as a personality. It
will be trumped up against me, and | will have
to 60, but / have other facts for the American
people that will come then. | am going to keep
up this fight. if it takes four years.
In connection with the general statement as
to Mr.. Bayards relation to the colored man, the
report had also been made that Mr.. Bayard had
said that whenever he met Senator Bruce in the
Senate Chamber he considered him as "a vac
uum." Mr.. Bayard, referring to this matter and
to Williams's charges, says:
mo one has ever entertained more friendly
consideration for the colored people than myself.
No one has ever endeayored to be kinder or
more just. No one has ever treated them with
less discriminatien. During my senatorial in
tercourse with Mr.. Bruce, it never occurred to
mo to ignore his existence. or to treat him with
discourtesy when placed in contact with him.;
nor did l ever say to any gentleman, in reply to
the question as to how | managed to meet and
pass Senator Bruce, that / just imagined
j was RAISING a vacuum. Haughtiness
does net enter into the complement
of my nature, and those who know me
will relieve me of the imputation that / am dis
respectful to interiors. The humber an individ-
uars station the more particular one should be, /
conceive it, to guard against any utterance or
action that would render him unduly sensible of
his unequal position. l have made it h rule all
my life to be more considerate of tho feelings of
those whom fortuitous circumstance has placed
an a lower walk than of that class whose talents
and position entitle them to respectful recogni-
ton. AS to the appointment Of Mr.. Williams to
be minister to Hayti, 1 know nothing beyond
the fact that the matter is before the Senate, as
] understand it, in the hands of a committee. L
will simply impress this fact upon you: that if
Mr.. Williams has ever received any mark of dis
courtesy in this department, or perceived a dis
position on the part of its attaches to deprive
bin of justice, | am totally unaware of it,

A vessel that Would BE Very Effective as a
Privateer.
spocial 10 the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-There is no doubt
4hat John Roach has received overtures from the
Russian government for the purchase of the ship
Dolphin, which was built for a United States
dispatch boat. The contract price of the Dol
min was 1915, 900, al of which has been paid ex-
sept about $4,000. The Secretary of the Navy
has refused to accept the vessel because on her
tai trip she did not develop and sustain the
horse power called for in the contract. 1t must
be remembered, however. that the engines OF
this vessel are not Of Roach's design. he has
simply followed the plans prepared by the Naval
Advisory Board, and therefore should not be
held responsible for the failure of those engines
to do the work which the board expected of
them. AS far as the work on the vessel itself is
concerned, naval authorities all agree
that Roach has fulfilled his con-
tract to the letter. The machinery
wac condemned as soon as designed by experts
IN naval engineering, and its failure TO do the
work demanded Of it is due to the advisory
board rather than to the contractor. Roach has
to answer for a great many sins, but all agree
that he has never failed to carry out a govern
ment contract to the fullest extent after having
secured the same. Now that the Dolphin is
practically completed, there is some doubt as to
her utility in the American navy. The vessel is
altogether too small for a cruiser, and while she
may be a formidable little vessel in a scrimmage
she could scarcely do more than fight off an in
ferior attacking vessel. AS a p~rivauter to prey
Npon unarmed merchantmen, however, she
would be invaluable. Her high-power gun
would be extremely ~effectual at long range, and
her speed is great enough to insure her safety
from larger and more powerful armed vessels.
For this reason. no doubt, the Russian govern
ment is willing to pay a good price for her.

coLoRED MEN AND THE PRESIDENT

Delegates to African Zion Methodist Confer
ence Call on MT. Cleveland.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE delegates to the
African Methodist Zion Conference, which has
been in session in this city, called upon President
Cleveland to-day. They were cordially re-
ceived by the President, and Prof. Howard Day
delivered an address in behalf of the delegates,
in which he said they were not politicians or
seekers of official place, but interested in what
ever concerns men. and especially DESTROYS that
in this country there may be good government
for all. He referred to the extent of the Meth
list Church and school work among the colored
people, and said:
This extended working church comes to-day
to congratulate the President upon his election.
Some of our men voted for him, but. voting for
him. or against him, we recognize the fact that
he is the President, not of part of America, but
of the Nation, and to him we fully pay our re-
spects. We believe him to be a Democrat in the
true sense of that term. We trust the Presi-
dent. We have asked and will ask our people
to trust him."
Continuing, he said that the Democracy of the
President was of that character which asks
nothing but what it considers destructive of des-
potism, and is the sole conservator Of liberty.
ITO such a President" he said, I'VE pledge our
support and earnest prayers that his life may be
preserved and his heart strengthened to main
tain his earnest purposes"
The President responded substantially as fol
lows:
..Bishop Day and Gentlemen of the Confer
ence: am very much pleased to see you here,
and am exceedingly gratifed with the address
which has just been delivered. / am glad to
know that this goodly number represents a large
portion of my fellow citizens belonging to a
particular race. AS religious teachers.
your mission Is q most important one, and one
which cannot be ignored and should not be I'M
derestimated by the chief magistrate of the Ma
ton, or by any other person in official place.

CiviI-Service Reform in the Treasury

WASHINGTON, April H.-Secretary Manning
to-day appointed B. Frank Albeit, of New Jer-
sey, chief Of a division in the Office of the Auditor
of the Treasury for the Postofice Department,
vice Mr.. Widdieomb, of Maryland, resigned by
request. The appointee is a brother of Governor
Albeit, Of New Jersey. Secretary Manning's
action in thus filing the Office by
appointment from the outside, instead of
by promotion, is regarded as important by
civil service reformers, since it is thought to be
an indication of the policy which the admins
tration will pursue with reference to appoint
ments to fill the places Of chiefs of divisions.
Efforts have been made, it is said, to induce the
President to amend the civil service rules so as
to include chiefs of divisions among the officers
whose positions are filled by examination and
promotion, but so far without success.

Secretary Manning's Intentions.

Special to the Indlanapo1s journal.
WASHINGTON, April 17-Although it is denied
at the White House and the Treasury Depart
ment that Secretary Manning is to resign, to
make way for Senator Mcdonald, there are
many here who believe the rumor has a very
substantial basis. It was stated when Manning
first assumed the Treasury portfolio that the
selection was only a temporary arrangement,
and that Mr.. Manning would in no event remain
in the Treasury after the fall elections in New
York. The place is an exceedingly difficult one
to fill, and the head of the Treasury Department
is daily called upon to decide the most difficult
questions of finance. Those who know Mr..
Manning intimately say that the work is ex-
ceedingly distasteful to him. and that he is very
anxious to be relieved and is determined not to
remain after next November.
