NO DISTINCTION.

The Law Does Not Recognize PrOba-
tionnry Firemen.
The attorney for the District, in an opin-
,on to the Commissioners, holds that the
widow of Thomas F. Sullivan, who was a
member of tie fire department at the time
of his death, is entitled to pension from
the iremen's relief fund
This case is a peculiar one, and has been
before the public before. Sullivan entered
the fire department as proba tionary men,
ber September %, 1893, and served until
June %, 1894, when he was taken sick,
which eliminated in his death September
"a, 1894.
When the widow applied for a pension it
was refused by .he chief of the fire depart
ment. who claimed that as Sullivan was
not a regular member of the department
she was not entitled to a pension. She ap-
pealed to the Commissioners. and they re-
ferred the case to the attorney for the Dis
trict, who says, in effect, that there ap-
Fears to be nothing either in the acts of the
corporation of Washington or the legisla-
tive assembly or of Congress providing for
a probationary term of service in the fire
department.

foisted upon him by Eva l.. Mann, or Ham
in the documents, and the cash value of her
annuity is placed at s16,S93. Mr.. Hamil-
ton died August %, 1890, but the reason his
estate has not been settled up before is on
account of the claims made by Eva l..
Mann, who claimed to be his widow, and
the litigations which she instituted to re-
cover dover in his property. Those have
all been settled and disposed of and the
estate will be settled in the near future.

The Letter, Dated February 81, Went
to Hong Kong and Back.
GRESHAM'S GROUND OF COMPLAINT
Justified in Giving information to
the American Public.
TO BE MINISTER

SAN FRANCISCO Cal, May 9-Hawa-
iian advices received today from Honolulu,
dated May ., per steamer Mariposa, are
as follows: The letter demanding the re-
call cf Minister Thurston is here and was
read to the executive session of the coun.
ellis yesterday afternoon. This letter had
been to Hong Kong. 1t went past Homo
lulu in bag with a couple of hundred
others. The fault lies with the post Office
at San Francisco.
The ground of the objection to Thurston
is confined to a single transaction. The
sole offense alleged is that Thurston, at the
legation. showed to reporters private let
ters sent to him from Honolulu. The par
ticular letter that gave offense to the State
Department intimated in strong terms that
Cleveland and Gresham were largely re-
sponsible for the January uprising here.

about the matter.
Thurston said that he regretted it very
much. that Ill the hurry of handling a BID
mail he had shown this letter, with others,
without any special intent.
In short. he apologiRed. Secretary Gresh.
am thereupon asked that the apology b
submitted in writing.
ThurSton declined to do this.
Gresham's letter is dated February Il
last. and in strong language sta-es that
Thurston is no longer personally accept.
able to the administration at Washington
as Hawaiian minister
Frank Hatch to he Minister.
1t is definitely settled that Thurston wiz
not return to Washington. He has resign
ed his office. his resignation to take effect
when his successor has been appointed.
Extremists here urge that he be sent back
at once. in order to face Gresham again.
They regard his return as a backdown.
The conservative feeling is that there
should be no playing to the galleries and
that the relations of this government to
that of Washington should be left to adjust
themselves in natural way. Frank
Hastings, who is at present In charge OF
the Hawaiian legation, will probably be
retaliatory measures will be taken by the
government SO far as the cabinet ministers
know. Minister Willis will remain Ha-
waii, so far as anything the officials on this
side may do or say to him.
Cabinet officers stated this morning that
Gresham's letter may never be published
in full for the reason that 1t names certain
charges against Thurston-charges that
would have to be answered by the Ha-
waiian minister This government does
not care to add to the breach with Cleve-
land any more than it can help; for that
reason Thurston will not have an oppor-
tunity to defend himself.
The feeling of the government is that
Thurston was justified In informing the
American public of the situation here.

said that the government would In its re-
ply, not enter into a discussion of the mat

Rumors of rupture in the cabinet have
been common for two days. The disagree

NEW YORK, May 9.-The New York
branch of the American Folk Lore Society
held its second annual meeting and recep-
ton last night in the banquet hall of the
Hotel Waldorf. President E. Francis Hyde

William Burnet Tuthill was busily engaged
in accommodating the guests. DR.. Wash
ington Matthews of Washington presented
a paper entitled the War Gods of the Nav

Washington. which included some recently
collected stories of witches and witchcraft
among the negroes, created a lengthy dis
cussion, after which a banquet was served
in the gold room.

of wages and for the manufacturers fair
competitive conditions against the mill
operators Of the Pittsburg district, who
have been working their employees at low
wages. An association of manufacturers
has been formed, principally outside the
Pittsburg district, to secure remunerative
prices for iron products and incidentally
to give the workmen better wages than are
now paid, which are admittedly too low.

A Mountain Dog for the Zoo.

Among the latest arrivals at the menas-
erie In the Geological Park is the :'moun-
tain dog" brought from Central America
by Assistant Secretary McAdco on the
cruiser Columbia. This is a very rare
specimen, and will prove valuable addi-
ton to the Zoo collection. In its native
state these animals feed on monkeys and
parrots, and are very wild and hard to
catch. Mr.. McAdoo's dog" however, has
become tame and tractabIe since his cap
ture, and seems to be reconciled to more
conservative diet.
