Little Sensation in Washington Off

III to the Tribune says: Assistant Sec
rotary of War Joseph B. Doe of James

Secretary Lamont The Tribune says:
There was considerable comment con-
corning the unusual act of President Nc
kinley in accepting Does resignation be-
tore the selection of his successor. Doe
resignation was accepted at once. and his
desk was vacant until Mr.. Meikeljohn of
Nebraska was appointed. This was due
TO a hint from Colonel Lamont, who had
practically made vacancy in the office
several months before. AS early as he

began an investigation of the official con-
duct of Mr.. Doe. but soon discovered
that Secretary Lamont had anticipated
him. and the only result of his inquiries
was the dismissal of Richard ]. Whitton,
also from GAINESVILLE, who was brought to
Washington by Doe and served his
private secretary for two years or more.
About a year ago, Assistant Secretary
Doe began to issue orders TO the division
of SUPPLIES and other branches of the
department that caused considerable de-
moralizat;on among tie clerks. and 10
make acquisitions for articles for his per-
sonal use which had not before been pur-
chased from the public fund. He con-
t-cued TO do so during the frequent alb
se,eceS of Secretary Lamont until after
the election in November. when that sort
of business became so active as to at
tract general attention and within few
weeks the gossip reached the ears OF the
head of the department.
Secretary Lamont at once made an in
yestigation. He called before him the
cler,-s III the supply division. the store
keeper and other officials of the depart

which caused him to require Doe and
Wilton to make restitution to the
amount of nearly $1,000 in cash and to
surrender to the department a consid-

Lamont's opinion. belonged to the gov

Improved the Opportunity.

London, Nav 1.-The correspondent
of the Daily Mail at Copenhagen learns
from an absolute source that Count
Muravieff. the Russian foreign minister,
was formerly protege of the Russian
dowager empress and a firm supporter
of her policy; but while the dowager
empress was engaged in family coun-
ellis at Copenhagen recently Count
Muravieff improved the opportunity to
make himself master of the situation
at st. Petersburg, and to INACCURATE a
policy of his own which was abso-
lutely against all the principles of the
dowager empress and of the Greek
party al Copenhagen.
In her absence from st. Petersburg.
Count Muravieff acquired the leading
influence over the car and persuaded
him to change his views. The dowager
empress on learning of the treachery of
her favorite, fastened back to ST.
Petersburg with the object of doing
battle with Muravieff and of having a
voice in the draft of the cars speech
to Emperor Francis Joseph at the re-
cent banquet.

A Tiff Among ROYALTY.

London. MAY 1.-The Devon and Elk
ctor Gazette saws that Adiutant Cen
eral Sir Redvord Butler will succeed
the Duke of Connaught in command at
Aldershot camp: that Quartermaster
General Evelyn Wood will succeed Bull
Ter as adiutant general and that the
Duke of Connaught will become quar-
termaster general OF the British army
These appointments are likely to re-
vive the criticism which ragged at the
time General Lord Frohert Roberts
was passed over in favor of the DIXIE
Of Connaught for the Aldershot COM
mand. as Butler belongs to the Wolse-
ley set. Sir Redverd Butler and Lord
Wolseley were almost at swords points
a year ago over questions of authority
in India, as well as promotions i'll :he

Both are very strong willed men and
Butler has the reputation of being the
most obstinate man in the army. It
was thought a that time he would re-
sign his position. but he yielded to the
persuation of the Prince of Wales and
has ever since been an outspoken adj
vocate of all the plans proposed by the
commander in chief

Washington, May 2.-The senate will
resume business in earnest Monday,
and the week bids fair to be one OF
important results. According to agree
ment a vote will be taken on the arbi-
tration treaty on Wednesday. It is also
quite probable that the committee va
cancies will be filled and that the tariff
bill will be reported to the senate.
For the rest Senator Morgan prob
ably will call IN his Cuban resolution.
the sundry civil appropriation bill may
be passed and Senator Hoar has given
notice that he will move to have the
committee on rules discharged from
the further consideration of his amend
ment to the rules for the limitation of
debate.
There is great uncertainty as to the
fate of the treaty. and it now looks
as if the margin would NOT exceed two
or three votes. whatever the result
may be.
There are a few unaseertained votes
which will decide the result. A can
vass made yesterday shows 40 votes
certain for the treaty and So against It,
There will be considerable sparring
over the treaty before the vote is
taken. but a prolonged debate is ex-
pected.
The consideration of the sundry civil
appropriation bell has been postponed
until Senator Allen. who Will have
charge of il in the senate, could be
present. If Senator HOar fulflls his
promise TO bring up the question of the
amendment to the rules his motion will
be stubbornly resisted by the Demo-
Gratis. Those of the committee who ia
vor the changes proposed will not as
sent 20 them on the eve of the tariff
fight.
The new senator from Kentucky,
Hon.. w. J. Deboe. probably will be
sworn in tomorrow.

Montgomery, Ala. May 2.-One night
last week. some religious partisans in
jackson county carried into the woods.
stripped and severely whipped two
Mormon elders. The elders subse-
quently appealed to Governor Johnson
for protection, representing that they
had been threatened with death if they
remained in the state. The governor
has promised to protect them, and
has instructed the sheriff of the county
to make them his special charge.
The governor says the constitution
of the state guarantees religious liberty
and that the Mormons are entitled TO
it. moreover, that the elders in this
state teach the Bible and refrain from
preaching or practicing polygamy and
the fact that they believe in Mormon
ism should not lay them liable TO
persecution.

It Will Not, as Proposed, be Given to

considered necessary to consult the
Connecticut senator and he has found
it impossible to reach the city until to-
