WASHINGTON LETTER.
tFrom our Regular oorrespondent.)

Editor Press
Postmaster General PAYNE has
no intention of resigning from the
Cabinet in the immediate future.
This statement was made to your
correspondent by the Postmaster
General himself when his attention
was called to the fact that numer-
Gus reports had been sent out from
Washington to the effect, that,
owing to his poor health, the criti-
cism of the public press, ETC., he
would offer his resignation almost
Immediately 1t is learned more
over, that in making plans for the
coming summer, which was done at
the last Cabinet meeting before the
President left for Oyster Bay, the
presence of Mr.. Payne in Wash
ington for at least month more
and his permanent retention of his
present place was counted on.
Senator Hanna, who spent Friday
in Washington, said before leaving
that there was on truth in the
statement telegraphed from Cleve-
land that he had had come to
Washington to confer with the
President regarding Mr.. Payne's
probable resignation and that in so
far as he knew Mr. Payne had no
such intention.
Senator Hanna said that his chief
purpose in coming to Washington
was to confer with Secretary Shaw
with regard to the new postoffice
building at Cleveland. Asked if
he discussed with Mr.. Roosevelt the
Craftsmanship of the Republican
national committee, Mr.. Hanna said
that he had no knowledge of his
own intention to resign that posi-
tion, which is taken to mean that
Mr.. Hanna has agreed to retain
that ardlous position. Senator
Hanna lunched at the White House
the day he was in Washington,
other guests present being Sir
Thomas Upton and Mr.. Geo. w.
Perkins, the partner of j. Pierpont
Morgan. After luncheon Messrs.
Hanna and Perkins had long con-
ference with the President regard
ing the proposed financial legisla-
tion which is being considered by
Senator Aldrich's subcommittee.
1t is understood that Mr.. Perkins
presented to the two statesmen the
Wall Street view of remedies which
should be applied to the financial
system. 1t was th rough influence of
Mr.. Perkins that the disclosures of
Irregularities in the Post Office De-
partment, which were being made
in a Washington newspaper last
December, were husded up, his pre-
sence at the White House gave rise
to all kinds of speculation.
Republicans in Washington are
greatly delighted at what they re-
gard as an exhibition of exception
ably able leadership on the part of
Senator Spoouer who, on his recent
visit to Wisconsin, obtained from
Representative Babcock a pledge
not to enter the lists in the Sena-

The Vanderbilt Wedding Still the
Source of Publicity and Discussion
in England.

London, May 23.-In a letter to The
Times occupying three columns, DR..
Tristram, chancellor of the London do
cese, today defends his action in grant
ing the nderbilt-Rutherford mar
riage license by law and custom. DR..
TriStram contends that he was obliged
to grant Mr.. Vanderbilt'S application.
The chancellor's answer to the bishop
of Lond's severe criticism forms the
text for a lengthy editorial in The
ment opens up an important cOntrO-
versy between church and state.
The Times maintains that the Rev.
r. H. Hadden's act in marrying Mr..
Vanderbilt and Mrs. Rutherford was
due solely to an error of judgment
which 1t hopes will not be copied by
others of the English clergy and de-
precatas the heavy, moral censure
which seemed to be implied by the bish-
op of London's language" The edi-
torial continues:
1T would seem a great hardship that
by the sole fault of the guilty party an
innocent person should be placed dur
ing the life time of that partner under
one of the greatest and most trying dis
abilities that can be inflicted, a dis
ability which may involve the greatest
temptation, and where Christian opion
has been and is clearly divided. Even
clergymen owe some Difference to the
laws of their country. and still more
to the moral sense of justice in the
cOmrnunity

OUR RELATIONS WITH CUBA.
The Treaty and COaIing Station
Matters SettIed-The Ownership of
the Isle of Pines Next.

Washington, May 23-Minister Squlers
at Havana has notified the state de-
partment of the signing yesterday by
Mr.. Zaldo and himself of the treaty
giving effect to the Platt amendment.
This amendment has already been en-
acted by congress and had been in
ouded in the Cuban constitution and
this reduction of the famous amend
ment to the form of a treaty is next TO
the last step which will consist of its
ratificatiOnS by the United States SEN
ate and the Cuban senate.
The new treaty is in terms no more
than an exact renrOductiOn of the Platt
amendment. 1t does not specifically
deal with the question of coalIng sta
tiOns which has already been settled as
far 4 spOSSible at this time, by q sep
arate treaty, now awaits the ratification
of the Cuban senate. but not requiring
action by the United States senate.
The next in order among the Ques-
tiOns to be dealt with is that relating
to the Isle of Pines, and Mr.. Squiers
will probably proceed at once with ne
gOuatiOnS.

service was actually performed or not
and that they trust to the scrutiny OF
departmental officials, and the honesty
of postmasters. The postmaster at
Washington. he says, made afiidavits
on his quarterly account that the
credits therein We're just and true and
the auditor says it is hard TO believe
that that affidavit was false.
The first answer of the comptroller to
the postmaster is dated May 2nd and
denied that any political pressure was
brought to bear or attempted to secure
the suppression of the investigation of
the Washington accounts and that the
examination had been completed.
The second answer. under yesterday s
date. goes into detail regarding Mr..
TullOch'S charges of a diSallowance of
$50, 900 or $40, 900 for the quarter men
toned and in reply says the letter, cited
in this connection, was not a letter Of
disallOwance, but of inquiry, requiring g
the postoffice of Washington to explain
some matters and state more Specifical-
y the nature of some services.
The comptroller says the answer to
this letter was prepared and sent by
Mr. Tulloch and thereupon all but 1880
of the items were allowed. The comp
trOller refers to the letter to Gilmer
authorizing him to examine any ac-
count except the Washington and New
York pOStofficeS and says this letter
was written by Mr.. Gilmer without
suggestion from the comptroller. Gill
mer, ne says. had gone over the Wash
lngtOn accounts for one whole quarter.

paid from appropriations. but as they
had been paid and audited and the

Los Angeles, Cal, May Z3.-Tha har-
mony that has prevailed since the
opening of the PRESBYTERIAN General
Assembly received a slight shock to-
day. Although the shock was o. mo-
mentary duration, it nevertheless
caused the only commotion that has

Mr.. Stanley had scarcely finished his
resolution when a commissioner IN the
center of the house sprang to his feet
and in a loud tone said:
Mr.. Moderator, L move that this res
OlutiOn be referred to the committee en-
correspondence
A second to this motion was made
Immediately. There were loud cries Of
NO, no. from all parts of the house.
Moderator Coyle heSitated for mo-
ment and then remarked in a decisive
tone:
Il do not think that this would be
the proper disposition of this resolu-
ton
Before he could proceed further he
was interrupted by calls OF vote,

Moderator Coyle rapped vigorously
with his gavel and said:
''All those in favor Of sending this

haps a score of commissioners which a
moment later was made to seem insig-
nificant by the great volume Of noes"

with a resounding whack. There was

that none will be idle longer than
