DETACHED ARMY OFFICERS.
Secretary Lamont Determined to
Weed Out the List.

WAsHIN GToN, May 13.-When Secre-
tary Lamont began to scrutinize the list
of army officers On detached service,
some days ago, the name Of Lieut..
Lemly was the first to strike his eye,
being unusually conspicuous by reason
Of the long period of leave granted him.
The blue pencil Immediately went
through it. Orders followed reyoking
the leave and directing Lieut.. Lemly
to return to his regiment. The
blow was hard one to the
young officer, who happened to
have just arrived in the city from Col
ombia, for the purpose of going to Chi
cago, in charge of the exhibit of that
country. Aside from having made
contract with the Colombian govern
ment for period of five years. he has
also come here as director general of
their exhibition at Chicago. TO be sud-
denly ordered back to his regiment has
left him in bad box with the Colon
bian government. Secretary Lamont,
it is said, did not fully understand
the particulars under which the
leave in this case was granted
and is now talking of revolling his ac-
ton, largely as compliment to the Co.
lombian government. but the secretary
IS in deep earnest in his determination
to weed out the leave and detached
service lists. 1t is even said that he con-
templates the revocation of the three
years leave in the case of Capt. George
b. Davis. who is now filling a contract
with the Nicaragua Canal company
under a special act of congress. which
authorizes the granting Of the leave
without pay.

PERKINS MUST GO.
An Offensive Partisan Marked for
a Scalping.


Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 1S.--One of the
first of the acts of the Harrison admin
istration was the removal OF Walt Fl.
Butler as division superintendent of the
railway mail service, with headquarters
at ST. Paul. Mr.. Butler had worked
his way up from the bottom of the lad
der, and was one of the most competent
men in the service. This fact did not
prevent his removal, and the appoint
ment of Norman Perkins. the present
incumbent, who at this time insisted
that a Democrat could not be trusted in
his position longer than week or two.
During the period which President
Harrison kindly allowed for the
purpose, Perkins fired all the Dem
ocrats he could reach, among them
many Well-known young Democratic
leaders, and yet with such rec
ord Perkins has not only failed to
resign. but has been pulling every
string in his power to secure
Democratic backing. with the result
that his friefds here claim he will be
allowed to remain in Office. He has the
Endorsement of several Dem9crats to
his plea for retention, but he has to
go, and that pretty soon, according to
q Democratic member of congress.

That Is tt e Verdict Of the Jury at
Fergus Falls.

mat Is TIE efulCG OA ChO jury ~
Fergus Falls.
Special to the Globe.
FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, May 13.-Pub-
lie interesdin the Holbrook divorce case
was renewed this morning when it was
learned that the jury was still out. One
of the court officials says this jury is one
of the most remarkable that ever disa-
greed, in that the members kept stead
hIy at work on the case and never
stopped to play cards or sleep. Ihey
argued persistently through the night.
1t is reported that at one time two OF the
iurymen got so worked up they came to
blows and had to be separated. On one
ballot there were eleven for defendant
and one for plaintiff, but before morn
ing the ottle Ter two swung back again,
and all the later ballots were
with thGl same result, nine to
three. Zine jurymen came in
once Saturday morning worn and hag-
gard-lookiig lot of men. Part of the
iurymen persisted that they did not
want dlnHer, thinking. perhaps, they
could starye some of the others into an
agreement The predicament was eX-
planned to pudge Baxter at the opening
of the Afternoon session. He solved the
question by instructing that second
officer be sworn to accompany those
VINO wished something to eat. When it
came to this point all found their appe-
tites, and ali went together to dinner.
Soon after o'clock the jury came into
court and announced that they had
agreed on a verdict. The foreman
of the jury announced it was
for defendant. This eXonerates
Mrs. nolbrook from the charge
brought against her by her husband. 1t
was learned when the jury returned
from dinner that the majority had
passed a resolution that they would re-
main in continuous session. without
either eating or drinking, until an
agreement was reached. Part Of the
jurymen wanted to report disagree
ment, but the others would not consent
to it. 1t is said they thought an agree
meut could be reached in time. AS soon
as this verdict was received, the court
adjourned until Monday. a sensational
scene was enacted III the court room
during the closing argument Of Mr.
Corliss for DR.. Holbrook. Mrs. Hol-
brook was present with her child and
mother. She went into strong Mysteries
while Mr.. Corliss was talking, and had
to be carried from the room by friends.

GAY AND GORGEOUS.
The White City Transformed Into
City of Rainbow Tints.

The White City Transformed Into
City of Rainbow Tints.
CHICAGO, May 13. The White City
was transformed tonight into a city of
rainbow tints. At 8 o'clock the plaza
east of the administration building and
the promenades around the great basin
were black with people. At that hour
the Iowa state band at the west entrance
of the manufactures and liberal arts
building began to play. At the same
time band from Cincinnati began to
play over by the music hall and another
near the north entrance of the agri-
cultural building. AS the bands
began to play the electric lights
flashed out as if by magic,
and the whole made one feel
as if in fairyland. Flashes of light
swept along the caves of the grand
buildings that line the beautiful main
basin. From the arch of the imposing
perstYle and the statues and figures OF
tiny threads of colored flame. The
magnificent fountain. with its figures
carved as if i'll marble, threw faint rib
bons of spray through mist of rainbow
tints and transformed the cascade into a
restless stairway of amethyst ard gold.
Threads of light shining through film
Of purple and pearl and silver,
drove away the shadows that
lay upon the even surface of
the lagoon. The two electrical fountains
on either side of the great central fount-
ain sparkled with rubies, garnets, agate
and pearls. The scheme of operating
the electrical fountains is to cast rain
bow hues over the great central fount-
ain, and as the colored lights flashed out
from them they formed a prismatic
background for the colored search lights
that were turned upon the head of the
basin and the administration building
from the manufactures, electrical and
agricultural buildings. The gilt dome
of the administration building was
studded with electrical gems of rich
tones of color, and the effect, viewed
from the west front of the perstyle,
was as gorgeous as an Oriental dream.
