Crowds of disorderly people continue to

CABINET MEETING,
Denver and the Silver Bill Considered
This Afternoon.

The cabinet meeting today was attended
by all the members. The session lasted two
and half hours, and was devote ed to the
consideration of several important ques-
tons. One matter known to nave engrossed
a great share of attention is the situation
in Denver in connection with the partici-
patton of United States troops. Secretary
Lamont took Gen. McCook's report of his
action with him to the meeting, and at its
conclusion, instead of going to his home for
lunch. according to his custom, he went
Immediately to the War Department and
called Gen. Schofield and Adjurant General
Ruggles into consultation. Other matters
believed to have been considered at the cab
met meeting relate to the Brazilian situa-
ton and the seigniorage bill.
That silver measure had not reached the
White House from the Capitol up to the
adjournment of the meeting, but it was ex-
pected to reach there this evening or to-
morrow. Its provisions are perfectly fa-
miliar to the President and his cabinet,
and the actual inspection of the bill itself
was not at all essential to its consldera-
ton. There is a growing impression that
if the President does not sign the bill he
will permit it to become a law without ac-
ton on his part.

MIR. BRECkINRIDGE's MARRIAGE.
His Counsel Affirm the Truth of the
Statement. From New York.

A copy of the dispatch from New York
referring to Mr.. Breckinridge's marriage to
Mrs. Wing April %, 1898 was handed by a
Star reporter to MIR. Shelby of counsel for
Col. Breckenridge, and he was asked If it
were true. Before replying he handed 1t to
the defendant, who, after carefully reading
II, returned it to Mr.. Shelby, who stated to
the reporter that DIR. Paxton's certificate
was true He declined to say anything
more about the matter. however.
prominent member of the bar, when
asked what effect the marriage of the de-
PENDANT to Mrs Wing, April - last, would
have upon the present suit, remarked that a
married man cannot be held liable for
breach of promise to marry another woman
than his wife. He might be guilty of de-
ceit in. representing himself to be single,
but that would not found an action for
breach of promise. The present action was
for breach of promise-a promise illegal and
Incapable of being kept If the defendant
was married at the time it was alleged to
have been made.
Another member of the bar. while agree
ing with the above opinion, stated that
the marriage of the defendant would have
no effect whatever on the present suit, I'M
less it could be shown that he was a mar
ried man when he made the alleged prom
Use. But, it seemed that three different
promises were alleged by the plaintiff, and
it would have to be shown that the defen-
dant was married man every time those
alleged promises were made.
The Cause of Delay.
NEW YORK, March l6-Dr. Paxton
house, at 81 West 10th street, is in charge
of Charles F. Butler, colored man. The
doctor is in Allegheny City, Pa, and is
not expected home until April l.
1t was Butler who mailed the certifcate
of marriage to the bureau of vital statistics
on Wednesday. Butler said today that on
Tuesday he received a telegram from DR..
Paxton directing him to look for the GER
tficate, and if he found it to send it to the
board of health.
After a long search the certificate was
found among other papers in DIR. Paxton s
desk.
Butler wrote his initials, c. F. B., on the
envelope for return. if not delivered. He
said he knew the Importance of the docu-
ment and did not want it to get lost. IN
explanation of the delay in filing the certh-
cate, Butler said today that DIR. Paxton
was taken i'll day or two after he per-
formed the marriage, and went to the Pres
byterian hospital. Later he went west
where he has since remained.
Butler remembers the circumstances of
the wedding. Col. Breckinrilge came to
see DR.. Paxton the night before the mar
riage to arrange for the ceremony. He DID
OF want the fact that he was going to
marry to get out, according to Butler.
Col Breckenridge and Mrs. Wing went to
DIR. PaXton'S house on the evening of April
% They were married in the front parlor
at S O'Clock. Butler was not there at the
time, but he understood that Col. Breckin-
Iidge and his bride were alone.

Continued from Second Page.)

In the course of the examination Miss
Pollard gave 1t to be understood that the
paper making the contract with Rhodes to
either marry him or refund he money ad-
vanced for her education had been given
by her to Mr.. Breckenridge and never re-
turned.
II think it proper to say right here" in
terjected Mr.. Wilson, that if there IS any
such paper in the possession of the defense
it ought to be produced in court. Mr. But
terworth denied that he knew If any such
paper being in their possesslon, and then
the examination was continued
Going on with the matter of her early
educat ton, Mr. Butterworth asked when
her Latin studies began, and she answered
that her father had taught her Laun
words before she learned to read:
Did you read the Bible, Miss PollardT

Letter Denied.
Miss Pollard was handed letter by Mr..
Butterworth. which she denied having writ
ten. Her denial evidently surprised the de-
PENDANTS counsel. and after consulting to-
gether for while they called for a batch
of dispositions. The plaintiff was then shown
another letter which she acknowledged was
hers the letter being the one read day or
two ago, inclosing her romantic story.
The plaintiff stated that when Col Breck-
inridge first called on her in reply to her
letter. asking him about her contract with
Mr.. Rhodes, Col. breckenridge, at first,
wished to see her alone. and after she ex-
planned the matter. Col Breckenridge said
he would call again in the evening Moth
ing was said about drive only a concert
Breckenridge said they would talk the
Rhodes matter over during any drive In
stead, 1t was understood that they would at
tend the concert.

Butterworth asked.
Certainly not l, Mr.. Buttarworth," re-
piled the plaintiff. DO you imagine that
l got carriage and took Col. Breckenridge

The carriage was brought by Col Breck-
inridge, explained Miss Pollard, and not
until he brought it did she know that he
intended a drive. After they started eff
Col. Breckenridge pleaded a headache and
asked plaintiff to consent to drive instead
of going to the concert.
AT this point the hour of adjoul nlent
was reached. and the trial was adjourned
until Monday morning.

PEACE IS LIKELY.
Gov. Waite Withdrnws His Demand
for Federal Troops.

LOT FeueraI
DENVER, March 16.-During the day the
militia guard at Douglass place, where
Gov. Waite resides, was recalled to the
armory, and for the first time since 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon the building
was left unprotected.
Shortly afterward his excellency left for
the executive chambers, but refused to
discuss the situation further than to say
that he would like a consultation with
Gen. McCook of the United States army
The conference. which was held in the
presence of no other person, lasted but a
short time, and it is understood was eX-
ceedingly peppery, the governor being angry
because Gen. McCook refused to aid the
governor in his purpose to seat the new
commissioners, but confined himself to dis
persing the crowd and maintaining the
peace.
At the termination of the interview the
governor sent Gen. McCook the following
letter.
A. d. McCook, U. S. A, Department of the
Colorado:
notice that you would put seven companies
of the United States troops in Denver at
my call. 1 inferred that your object was to
assist the state in the enfor cement OF the
law, as you were present in Denver and
knew that the city companies of the Ma
tional Guard had been called out by me as
commander-in-chief, and were at the time
on duty in the streets hear the city hall.
