WASHINGTON. D. O., May 22.-Attor-
ney General Miller has referred all the
papers submitted to him by the Civil
Service Commission, in the cases Of
Green B. Raum, Jr., and other persons
alleged to be guilty OF irregular appoint

the District of Columbia for whatever
action is required by law.
Civil Service Commissioner Roose-
welt to-day, in speaking to reporter of
the resignation of Green B. Ranm, jr.,
said that the Commission was the first
to bring up the case, and it had done
all in its power to do in the matter. i.

the Secretary of the Interior, the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury and the Attorney
General, and it was in consequence of

A Circular to Be Issued by the Treasury
Department to Bondholders.
WASHINGTON, D. O., May 22.-Unless
the Secretary of the Treasury decides to
continue the AZ per cent. bonds beyond
the date Of their maturity, September
1st next, without abatement of interest,
it will be necessary for him to give due
notice to the bondholders of his policy
in regard to that loan. This will have
to be done under the law either in case
he decides to redeem the bonds at ma
turity or in case he decides it best to
extend them at a reduced rate OF in
terest.
issued by the Treasury Department in a
few days. 1t will announce that the
present rate Of interest on the a per
cent. loan will cease September 1st, and
will probably say that the holders OF
such bonds as do not desire their re-
demption at that date may secure their
continuance at the interest rate OF 2 per
cent, thus allowing the owners the
option of retaining their bonds at a
lower rate If they desire to do so, with
out placing the Government in theposi
tion OF asking for more time:

SECRETARY FOSTER
Talks about the New Political Party--No
Room for It,

WASHINGTON, D. G., May 22.2aThc
broad aud generous public policy of the
Republican party is such," said secre-
tary Of the Treasury Foster to a reporter,
''that there is no room for a third party;
a new political organization could not
do anything necessary to our national
comfort or prosperity without
stealing Republican thunder. The
wild scheme Of these third
party advocates, such as the loaning OF
government funds on real estate or per-
sonal property cannot have lodgment in
the minds OF sensible people and move
ments based on these eccentricities are
necessarily shortlived and ephemeral.
am, therefore, not surprised at the
news which comes from Cincinnati Of
great dissensions, marked differ
erences Of opinion as to politics to be
adopted, and much yariableness
as to the time when this new
third party should be formed. There is.
disagreement enough in the aggregation
at Cincinnati TO make half q dozen par
ties. 1t seems to me that the organizers

them with the advocates OF myriad
schemes recently proposed for the alleg-
ed relief OF what the schemers are
pleased to term the distresses of the peo-
ple.' have much more faith in good
crops and good prices s-produced by
honest labor-than / have in any OF the
so.called means of relief espoused by
the ladies and gentlemen in conven-
tion at Cincinnati. Providence is
giving us good crops and the McKin-
ley Bill will give US good prices.
This means that President Harrison
will be renominated and that the
Republican party will be triumphant at
the next election. And the third party?
That will be all right. By that time the
prosperity of the membership-in COM
mon with all other inhabitants of this
country-will be such that l doubt not
that thousands OF them will visit Wash
ington on the occasion OF President
Harrison's reinauguration. They will
be heartily welcomed"

ANOTHER RELIGIOUS CRISIS.
ABIg Split in the reformed Presbyterian
Church Which is Rapidly Spreading

A Big Split in the Reformed Presbyterian
Church Which is Rapidly Spreading
PITTSBURGH, May 22.-Rev. ]. X. Nc
Clurkin, of the Reformed Presbyterian
Theological Seminary Of Allegheny, has
made public an announcement of his
intention to resign the chair OF theology
and history in that institution at the
coming meeting of the Synod in this
city May 81. The reason given for thus
abandoning his church and place is that
seven young Reformed Presbyterian
ministers had been suspended from the
church for voting at political election,
and that they would probably be eI-
PEELED by the Synod. Rev. DR.. McClur-
kin came here from an eastern pres
bytery, and is held as one of the
most--learned and outspoken of
ministers Of this portion of the State.
His ayowed purpose in making his res
ignation known thus early is to give a
cue to the seven suspended ministers in
order that they might know what ex-
treme action to take when their cases
come up before the Synod. The pro-
gramme in all probability will be this:
Rev. DIR. McClurkin will leave the Re-
formed Presbyterian church to go over
to the United Presbyterian side. Being
prominent and respected he has large
and powerful following. The seven
ministers who are being SO severely
disciplined will follow, as their church,
es have already declared their intention
of remaining with their ministers. The
split, already bad, is growing worse, and
may approach in magnitude the great
dissatisfaction of 1888. which occurred
under almost similar circumstances.
