WASHINGTON, May 11.-An evening
paper has this: AS the result of
disagreement between himself and
President Cleveland, Delegate Rawlins
OF Uthah telegraphed Governor West
his resignation of his seat in congress.
The trouble was over the distribution of
federal patronage in Utah, and it is said
hot words passed between the two and
there was an exciting scene. Certain it
is that when Rawlins left the presidents
room his face was flushed with anger
and he was laboring under great excite
ment. The incident occurred last Sat
urday. Rawlns had two or three pre-
vious interviews with the president and
made certain recommendation for ap-
pointments in his territory. He went
to the White House Saturday to see
what action Cleveland was going to take
in these cases and was fortunate enough
to have private conference with the
president. He soon discovered that
President Cleveland had his own views
on the subject of appointments to office
in Utah. Rawlins started in to argue
his case and show why he was right.
The president cut him short and inti
mated that there were other persons
and other interests besides those repre-
sented by Rawlins, which would have
to be consulted. The delegate'a temper
was aroused, and although the presi-
dent simply told him what he told all
members of congress, Rawlins gave it
as his opinion that his recommendations
should carry more weight. One word
led to another, until finally Rawlins,
worked up into passion, told the pres
ident if his word was not to be taken
with regard to Utah matters and poll
tics he could find some one else to con-
suit. He went at once to the telegraph
Office and wired his resignation.
CALLERS AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Although the presidents order has
cut down the number of callers, since a
congressman cannot carry his constitu-
ents IN with him To the presidents
presence, it has done but little else.
Congressmen and senators continue to
come as numerousiy as ever and occupy
just as much time as they did when
they brought the crowd with them.
A CRAZY MULATTo.
A crazy mulatto named H. S. Saun-
ders, from Sumter, s. O., appeared at
the White House yesterday seeking ap-
pointment as minister to Mexico. He
was arrested and will be sent home.
This is the second time he has ap-
peared there.
BATCH OF APPOINTMENTS.
The president has appointed J. Hamp-
ton Hoge of Virginia consul at Annoy,
China, vice Edward Bedloe of Phila-
delphia.
Charles Fl. Martin of Illinois has been
appointed examiner in the mineral di-
vision of the general land Office, vice
Charles 7. Yonder, resigned.
Andrew Douglas o. Wisconsin has
been appointed examiner of Chippewa
Indian lands in Minnesota, vice Otis
Staples, resigned.
THE RUSSIAN TREATY.
The extradition treaty with Russia
has not yet reached the state depart
men, but is expected here by the next
European mail. The report, to the
contrary, is said at the White House to
be destitute of truth. 1t is expected
within three or four days. Ratifications
were exchanged in Russia April Goth.
THE ANTI-MoIETY ACT.
Secretary Carlisle set aside the de-
cisions of his predecessors and decided
that the statute of 1874, known as the
anti-moiety act, except in cases of
smuggling, debars all officers of the
United States from receiving moiety or
the informer's share of fine, on ac-
count of information given in reference
to violations of the statutes.
CHINESE REGISTRATION.
Reports from 80 of the 63 internal
revenue districts, giving the number of
Chinese registered, have been received
at the treasury department. The re-
ceipts show that 30,473 Chinese have
thus far complied with the law.
FAIRCHLD's DEC1INAuoN

ceived a telegram from ex-Secretary
Fairchild containing his declination to

plea of urgency of other business.
