PHILADELPHIA AFFAIRS. ME. WILLIAMSON'S MILLIONS.

HIS SOLID LIKE OF INVESTMENTS. Attempted Arson fop Revenge Tax Suit Against the Credit Mobllier Advance of Duty on Worsted Goods. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.1 Philadelphia, April 1L The inventory of the estate of Isaiah V. Williamson, deceased, filed with the register of wills, shows property valued at $9,810,639 75. All of this except $125,000 is personal property.

Among the largest items are 6,318 shares of the Cambria Iron Company, valued at shares Northern Central Railroad, L778 shares Pennsylvania Steel Company, 400 shares Northern PacWc preferred. 10,000 shares Pennsylvania Railroad. 3.400 shares Lehia-h VaMev Railroad. 2,650 shares Catawissa Railroad preferred, 2.000 shares North Pennsylvania Railroad, 3.000 shares United Gas Improvement He also held bonds in large blocks, but his other investments were well scattered. He was always looked upon as a Reading Railroiid man, but held only 650 shares at his death, and bonds of tbe Reading Railroad and Coal and Iron Company amounting to nearly a million dollars.

Among his assets are Ixmds of the Reading Iron Works amounting to $237,500. The above inventory is of course exclusive of the he recentlv gave to found the AVilliamson Trade School." An examination of his books discloses the fact that he gave away four million dollars during his lifetime to various benevolent and educational enterprises, including his school, and of the ten millions left at his death one and a-half millions will go to charities aud the remainder to his collateral heirs. ATTEMPTED ARSON. A remarkable case of revengeful fooling was disclosed in a hearing before Magistrate Eisenbrown this morning. William Osbourne was arrested, charged with attempted arson.

It appeared that he had had a business quarrel with a man named Gourley, and had threatened revenge. Early yesterday morning Mrs. Gourley, on coming downstairs, found Osbourne in the kitchen saturating the furniture with coal oil. Ho had spfead coal oil all about the lower part of the house, and was about to set fire to the place when detected. He was committed to prison without bait THE GHOST OF THE CREDIT MOBILIER.

The Credit Mobilier Companv turned up in the United States Circuit Court today in a suit of the State to recover $147,000 of taxes. The original claim was for but some of the penalties were remitted, leaving the amount as above. Last January the court made an order allowing the State to intervene in a suit against the company, and thus prevented the termination of the receivership. The audi tor-general having decided that the company owed the tax, the latter wanted to take an appeal to the Dauphin County Court. The State demanded security, but the court, after hearing argument, allowed the company to appeal without entering security.

It is stated that there is nothing left of the company save351 shares in the hands of Roland Hazard, the balance being held by the Union Pacific Raiiwav Company, and the only asset of the Credit Mobilier is an alleged claim which it has held for years against the railway company. DOCTORING THE TARIFF LAWS. Appraiser Leach, evidently by direction of the Treasury Department, has advanced the rates on worsted goods to those paid on woolen goods. Appeals will no doubt be taken, but before they are settled it is expected that Congress will put woolen and worsted goods in the same class. The classification is not ustified by the terms of the tariff laws, but suits the woolen manufacturers.

The action, however, does not suit all the protectionists. The manufacturers of worsted yarns object and so also do the importers. Appraiser Leach says that this was his own act, and he does not know whether or not he will be sustained by Collector Cadwallader and other higher authorities. The effect of such classification would be to put a stop to large importations of worsteds if it should be made the rule at all Atlantic ports. If confined to Philadelphia it would, of course, amount to very little except in the way of decreasing the already small commerce of the port.

REPAYING THE STREETS. The law for several years has reauired street passenger railway companies to keep in repair the streets occupied by them, and the courts have recently decided that they can be compelled to repaye such streets with Belgian blocks when the city decides that such repaying is required. There was, however, no means of enforcing this obligation until this year, when councils put at the disposal of Director Wagner. AArith this money he will repave certain streets, pay the bills and then endeavor to collect from the railway companies chargeable with the same. AVlth this money he will repave more streets and so on.

The companies have refused to do the work, but can take no action in the matter until the work has been done and the bill presented, when they will make another fight in the courts. It is quite probable that each case will have to be tried on its merits. THE M'ALL MISSION. At the meeting of the McAll mission, held today, it was reported that seven new auxiliaries had been added during the year. The receipts were $39,379 69, aud the expenditures 16, leaving a balance of 82,134 53.

Mrs. Marine J. Chase, of this city, was elected president. Among the vice-presidents are Mrs. James A.

Garfield, Mrs. John V. FarwelL, of Illinois; Mrs. J. K.

Stickney, of the District of Columbia: Mrs. Peyton Harrison, of Maryland, and Mrs. Henry A. Dupont of Delaware. The managers include Mrs.

R. D. Fisher, of Baltimore. The mission is to meet next year in Boston. STRUCK DOWN IN THE STREET.

AVhile Albert Shilo, a 14-year-old lad, was standing at Eighth andfFitzwater streets tonight he was approached by an unknown Italian who, it is alleged, wit hout any provocation whatsoever, struck the boy a terrible blow on the head with a club, inflicting a compound fracture of the skull. Shilo now lies in an unconscious -condition at the hospital, and the physicians there say he cannot live. His assailant escaped, but the police have a description of him and are on his track. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. The Reading Railroad Company is modifying its plans for a terminal road to Broad and Market streets, and is expected to present its ultimatum to the committee of councils next week.

The Reading has also determined to build a new bridge over the SchuvlMll at the falls to facilitate the transfer of B. and O. trains to the New York road. Engineers are now at work on the plans. The board of city trusts has joined the Board of Trade and other commercial bodies in the demand for a belt line railroad along the river front in order to free the city from the monopoly enjoyed by the Pennsylvania Railroad.

Southern Military Drill. Jacksonville. April IX The Southern Cadets of Macon, arrived this morning 45 strong, also the St. Augustine Guards, 33 men and officers- At 10 o'lock a grand parade took place, the line forming on Duval street in front of the St James Hotel. The troops numbered 23 companies and were headed by Gov.

Fleming and staff, mounted, also by members of his cabinet in carriages.

In the afternoon three companies contested for the Florida prize of $00. Entries: Orlando Guards, Metropolitan Light Infantry, and Jacksonville Light Infantry, the two latter of this city.

The audience numbered nearly 3,000. The companies were very evenly matched. The Jacksonville Light Infantry were the favorites, but after the appearance of the Orlandos the betting took a turn in their favor. The first prize was awarded to the Metropolitans and the second prize to the Orlando3. Average 86.2 and 83.5 respectively.

A dress parade took place at 6 P. Major Lancaster, of the Second Battallion, commanding. Tonight sixteen soldiers entered for the best individual drills. Private H. H.

There are six entries the Carolina Rifles, Orlando Guards, Southern Cadets of Macon, Gate City Guards of Atlanta, Metropolitans of Jacksonville and German Fusileers of Charleston. The Southern Cadets are the favorites. Betting on the result is very lively.

No Outlaws In Preston County, AV. "Va. TSpecial Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Kisqwood, Preston Countt, W. April 11. The special dispatch from Union-town, to a Pittsburg paper, giving an account of alleged outlawry in this county, which was published in The Sun of Tuesday last is incorrect There are several persons in the section named who engage in petty thieving and will be brought to justice soon.

As to an organized band, there is not and has not been one in this county for a number of years. Such reports in jure our county very-much. There is not a county anywhere, the size of Preston, that can boast of more orderly and law-abiding citizens than Preston. Levi Herr Acquitted. (Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.

Gettysburg, April 11. The Conrt of Common Pleas was today occupied with the case of Levi Herr, charged with setting fire to his own barn on February 18, 1SS9.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE MEETING.

The sum of $75,000 is appropriated the expenses of the conference. Our commissioners are to serve without pay, except to meet their actual necessary expenses. Every State invited may send as many delegates as it considers desirable, but in the disposition of questions coming before the conference no State shall be entitled to more than one vote. The conference will be held October 2, 1889, at Washington. The Secretary of State will appoint the necessary clerks and other assistants and provide for the daily publication by the public printer, in the English, Spanish and Portuguese languages, of so much of the proceedings of the conference as it shall determine, and on the conclusion of the conference transmit a report to the Congress of the United States.

OUR DELEGATES. Of the delegates to represent the United States in the conference it is stated that Hon. William Pinkney AVhyte, of Maryland, is the only democrat in the number, whereas the understanding in AVashington at the time the act was passed was that both the republican and democratic parties should be equally represented. Mr.AVhyte's colleagues are John B. Henderson, of Missouri; Corne-' lius N.

Bliss, of New York; Clement Stude-baker, of Indiana: T. Jefferson Coolidge, of Massachusetts; William Henry Trescott, of South Carolina; Andrew Carnegie, of Pennsylvania: John R. G. Pitkin, of Louisiana; Morris M. Estee, of California, and J.

H. Hanson, of Georgia. OBJECTS OF THE CONFERENCE. While regrets have been expressed that President Cleveland did not avail himself of the authority given by the act of appointing the commission during his term of office, he probably made no mistake in taking time, and after all in proceeding no further with the matter than he did, though urged to do more. From the time President Harrison's election was assured Commercial interests in the North favoring subsidized lines of steamers have been industriously at work to bring about some of the objects this conference has in view.

The chief aim seems to be the formation of an American zolverein insuring trade reciprocity on an American silver dollar basis, and the exclusion of European commerce and influence as far as practicable. In other words, it is an attempt to put in practice a system of limited free-trade in subsidized bottoms. SOUTHERN PROTECTIONISTS. In this connection a strong appeal is made to the South, where the growing manufacturing industries are beginning to compete with Northern products. The Parsons-Sedden movement, which is at work in the mineral belt of the South, seems to fall exactly in line with the objects of the conference.

Col. Parsons is reported to have said in a recent interview that "the question is not one of power to produce, but of place to AVe do not propose to invade the Northern or AArestern markets, but to protect by a tariff our home markets, and to open the way to new markets southward. Ave hope to see the day when there will be free trade with Mexico, Central and South America, upon conditions of a uniform tariff against the outer world, for into these markets the new South would come with instant and enduring advantage." Col. H. C.

Parsons is a Northern man, who lives in Virginia, and Mr. Thomas Sedden, son of the Confederate Secretary of AVar, is identified with Alabama iron interests. They are both active in promoting the objects of the Southern protectionists, and propose to call a convention as soon as a thousand representative names have been secured to the call now being circulated, chiefly among furnace men, mine owners and others, with the view of securing a "representation in Congress of the high tariff views of the South, whether the representatives be democrats or republicans." The managers propose to invite Mr. Randall and Mr. McKinley to speak before the convention if it is called.

Captain Winder Asks to be Restored. AVashington, April 11. Colonel Julien Allen, of North Carolina, has made application for relief to the President in behalf of Captain William A. Winder, late of the United States army. From the papers presented it appears that the applicant served eighteen years in the army, beginning with the war with Mexico.

During the civil war he was desirous of going to the front but he fell under suspicion of disloyalty because his father was General Winder, an officer of the Confederate army. Although President Lincoln was satisfied upon the assurances of Captain (then lieutenant) AVinder as to his loyalty. Secretary Stanton insisted upon his being sent to California. This was done, and in California the charge of disloyalty was renewed, finally resulting in a trial which the captain was honorably aequited. While on this duty he reeeeived the formal thanks of the Maryland Legislature for gallant services in connection with the rescue of a shipwrecked crew.

After the war Captain Winder resigned, and now, as his papers recite, broken down in health and fortune, he seeks to be reinstated in the army and placed upon the retired list Officials Barred Out. Washington, April 11. It appears that the President's proclamation opening a portion of the Oklahoma lands to settlement was more sweeping in its terms than was intended in the matter of excluding persons from entry upon the lands before the date named in the proclamation. Under its terms the army officers have been compelled to keep out the officials of the Interior Department, whose duty it is to provide for the establishment of the new land offices. To relieve these officials an order was made today by the War Department for their admission into the territory.

Yellow Fever at Rio. Washington, April 11. The United States consul-general at Rio de Janeiro has reported to the Secretary of State that yellow tever is prevalent there to an alarming extent. Mr. Charles M.

J. Leslie, an American citizen, died at Rio on the 3d of March of the fever. Verdict of $100 for Slander. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Petersburg, April 11. The Circuit Court of Nottoway County, Judge Beverly A.

Hancock, president, has been engaged since Tuesday last in the trial of the suit of AV. P. Rugg against E. C. MeCulloch for $20,000 damages for alleged slander.

The court was in session all last night until six o'clock this morning, when the jury gave a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $100. It is probable that an appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court of Appeals. In July, 1887, Mr. Bugg and Mr. MeCulloch became engaged in a dispute about some live stock belonging to Mr." Bugg, which Mr MeCulloch was alleged to have penned up tor trespass.

It is said that Mr. Bugg sent a challenge to Mr. MeCulloch to fight a duel. Mr. MeCulloch caused the arrest of Mr.

Bugg as a lunatic. Mr. Bugg was fined and imprisoned for assault, but the court decided that he was not a lunatic. The charge of lunacy was the basis of the action lor slander. Mr.

MeCulloch is one of the wealthiest citizens of Nottoway county, and a leading merchant at Blackstone. York County Democratic Committee. York, April 11. The democratic county committee, with an unusually large attendance, met in the courthouse here today. County Chairman Henry Neater, presiding, Ed.

The I.oyal Legion Congress. Cincinnati, April 11. The sixth quadrennial congress of the Military Order of Loyal Legion of the United States closed its session here this af ternoon, and many of the delegates left this evening for their homes. The entire constitution was revised and many verbal changes made, but no radical changes. It was provided that the insignia and rosette, now worn by original first-class members, shall die with them, and that the rosette and insignia, now worn by second-class and by first-class by descent members, shall abiding emblems of the order.

The next meeting will be held four years hence in St Paul, Minm Proposition to the Miners. Cleveland, Ohio, April 11. John Mc-Bride, president' of the ational Progressive Union of Miners and Mine Laborers, has issued from Massillon, Ohio, a circular to the miners and mine laborers of the United States, announcing that the operators of Ohio and the Pittsburg district have submitted the following proposition upon the price of mining for the next year: Hocking Valley, 62a cents for the first six months and 67s cents for the last six months; Pittsburg district, 7iJ and 76J6 for the first and last half of the year. Mr. McBride urges that the offer be accepted because it guarantees-peaceful and harmonious relations between miners and mine operators.

Roasted by Molten Metal. HY'OUNgstown, Ohio, April 11. AVhile pouring a casting tonight in the foundry of William Tod it exploded, hurling the molten metal in every direction. George Bryant, foreman, was leaning over the flask at the time and received the full force of the explosion, literally roasting him.

The action of the Pennsylvania authorities in sending the State militia here to be quartered at the expense of the centennial committee has been the occasion of more than a mild surprise. This is further heightened by the suggestion of the Philadelphia Press that such a proceeding ought to be taken as a sort of stand-off for the food given the New York militia reaiments there when they were en route to the front in the late war.

The thrift of the idea strikes the New York mind as simply immense. The centennial committee on the platform details at the sub-treasury Messrs.G8rdnerSherman,adesendant of Roger Shermanjitoger De Vint a great-grandson of Col. AV. -S. Smith, Lewis L.

Livingston, great-grandson of Col. Morgan Lewis, the grand marshal of the inauguration parade, T. B. Bleecker, great-grandson of Mayor Leonard Bleeker, one of the assistants, Thos. Jefferson Coolidge, great-grandson of President Jefferson, and Brooks Adams, great-grandson of President John Adams.

In these the men who were about AVashington a hundred years ago on the sub-treasury site have representatives, and in the Messrs. AVebb, Fish, De A'int and Livingston the five assistants of the inaugural ceremonies have direct representatives. The full official programme of the whole celebration was given out this evening. The merchants of New York are bot satis-fled with the concession of four days' time givon to the centennial tickets. They wanted the limit made to end on May 15, and the discrimination against their interest is much resented.

Another effort will be helped along to reach the original idea, and to enable all to make the most of the rush of visitors. SEVERELY INJURED. Gerald L. Routledge. an Englishman of about 22 years of age, who has been here a year, a grandson of the late George Rout-ledge, the English publisher, and connected with the New York branch of the London firm, while riding in Central Park last evening collided with a Victoria, in which was Mrs.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Gloucester C.

Va April 11. In the trial of Joshua F. Ross for the murder of George Hughes, the greater portion'of today and yesterday was occupied in the arguments, which it is expected will be concluded Saturday, when the case will be given to the iurv. The instructions to the Jury were such as are usually given in such cases, except the seventh instruction offered by the Commonwealth, as follows: "D2 the jury believes from thef; evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that the prisoner killed the deceased, and if they further believe from the evidence that the killing was 'caused by a communication made by the prisoner's wife to her husband a short time previous to the killing, the effect of which was that a few days before the communication wa3 made the deceased had attempted an assault on her; if they further believe from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that the prisoner after his communication was made, and when his wife was in no immediate danger of the repetition of the alleged offense on her by the deceased, killed the deceased after reflection, willfully, deliberately, premeditatedly and upon revenge, then the court instructs the jury that such killing was murder in the first degree."

METROPOLITAN TAX VALUES. HOW THE CITY. REVENUE IS RAISED. People Who Pay and Those Who Escape Personalty, Real Estate, Bank and Business Taxation Personal Matters. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l New York, April 11.

The tax books show that the assessed valuation of real estate in New York city is $1,302,818,879, and of personal property the valuation is placed at $250,623,552. It is a curious fact that ui 1870 the assessed valuation of railroad companies was $35,306,949, while in 1888 it is only The number of plots of real estate taxed is 161,572, and only 13,188 persons pay personal taxes. Eighty-one banks pay taxes' and 994 corporations. Last year shareholders in banks swore off $15,329,660 in taxes. Of private estates the Astor property leads in value, paying in taxes every year on half a million of dollars.

The amount of property exempt from taxation for one reason or another is $286,106,445. distributed as follows: City property, United States property, church property, and charitable institutions, $46,270,445. The real estate taxation is on a basis of from 60 to 75 per cent, of the actual valuation. The tax levied on merchants and the business community generally is known- as the personal tax. It is generally regarded as a farce, the truth of which is shown from the fact that less than 14,000 persons pay it The manner in which it is levied, except on corporations, is by guess work.

The assessors notify Mr. A that they think his share of the business of Co is worth $45,000, and that the rate of taxation this year is per thousand, so he will please step up to the commissioners' office and pay on that basis. Mr. A doesn't do anything of the kind. He goes and makes an affidavit that outside his not taxable property and legal debts his interest in the concern isn't worth a dollar, cr only blank dollars, as the case may be, and he pays nothing, or at the rate he swears hit interest is worth.

There is no. further inquisition than hi3 oath. Of course the tax commissioners are supposed to have the legal right, if they doubt the oath, to compel a man to prove his statement by the figures of his books, but such a proceeding has never been heard of. Corporations are taxed on their capital. Personal taxes are levied on the gross amount the assessor thinks each man's business is worth, and as a result New York's taxes are virtually raised on the realty of the city.

There are but few special taxes. The excise license fees go by law to the charitable institutions, and so does the money from theatrical licenses. The hack license fees and those from other small municipal ordinances go direct to the city treasury. There is no certain figure. The taxes are levied each year according to the wants ot the city.

Everybody who has charge of a city department makes up an estimate of the needs of his department for the year and puts it at a certain figure. These are sent to the board of estimate and apportionment which revises the estimate and allows so much of it as is deemed sufficient. All these estimates form the money that can be spent by the city during the year the "fixed charges" and on this gross amount the commissioners of taxes fix the tax rate for the year on the valuations returned by the board of assessors. The board of estimate and apportionment consists of the mayor, the comptroller, the president of the board of aldermen and the president of the department of taxes and assessments. They control all the financial disbursements of the city.

Non-residents are taxed on what the assessor thinks is the valuation of their investment in the business in which they may be engaged here, Dut the success in collecting any such taxes has never- been very startling. They simply swear them off like the residents. The tax rate generally runs from $2 15 to $2 30 per hundred of the assessed valuation. The current rate (1888) is $2 22, against $2 28 in 1887. The assessors announced their ratings on the second Monday of January, and their books remain open for four months for revision and correction.

On the 1st of July the amount of the tax levy is sent to the board of aldermen, who confirm it some time between then and the 1st of September. This levy includes the amount necessary for all tax purposes, city, county and State, and the rate per hundred is obtained by dividing this amount into the assessed valuation. There is no distinction in taxing of real estate and personal property; it is all $2 22 per' hundred in the present levy. Corporations deduct from their capital tax such real estate and State taxes as they pay. The latter those who pay a direct tax into the State treasury is a deduction of about $1 94.83 per hundred.

A discount is allowed to all who pay their taxes before November 1, and penalties are added when the payments are neglected after December 1. After January 15 taxes may be collected by distraint. railroad business. It was considered settled this afternoon that Lucius Tuttle, of the Canada Pacific Railroad, would succeed S. F.

Pierson as chairman of the trunk line passenger committee. All the outside roads will come in under his management. There was a rumor that Pennsylvania Railroad people had been buying St. Paul Railroad stock in order to prevent control passing into the hands of the Vanderbilts. The St.

Paul Road has been operated in harmony with the Pennsylvania Road on through business much as the Northwest has been in connection with the Vanderbilt trunk lines. The Pennsylvania was said to be unwilling to see the business of the.Su Paul diverted to the Vanderbilt system. At a meeting of the trunk line passenger agents it was agreed that the system of paying commissions to passenger agents be abolished, and the agreement is to go into effect at once. The earnings of the Norfolk and Western road for the first week of April shows an increase of $28,282. Kiernan's summary says thirty-seven railroads and systems for January and February show gross earnings of $55,715,000, an increase over the same months of 1888 of S4.026.000.

and eighteen other roads 6how for January gross earnings of $3,801,000, an increase over 1888 of $354,000, making the total gross earnings of the fifty-five roads above given $59,523,000, an increase of $4,476,000. The thirty-seven roads for January and February show total earnings of $15,138,000, an increase of seventeen roads report net earnings for January of $1,456,000, an increase of 315,000 for the fifty-five roads for the periods named; the total increase of net earnings was $2,942,000. The directors of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Road today approved a proposition for the reorganization of the company. It provides for an assessment of 10 per cent on the stock and the refunding of the bonded debt, so that the fixed charges shall not exceed $1,500,000 per annum, the bondholders to receive preferred stock equal to the loss entailed by scaling down the interest The executive committee were given full power to carry out the reorganization on the general terms proposed. There will be no important change in the board of directors at the annual election in May.

The only new names on the ticket will be those of the successors of Messrs. Mertens and Herndon, who retired during the year. THE AMERICAN MEAT COMPANY. The twenty-five million American Meat Company enterprise has received a set-back under the pressure of the coaflicting elements of the Armours and the cotton oil Seople. John H.

Flager, president and Jay Moss, vice-president of the American Meat Company, have tendered their resignations as officers of the company. John H. Davis Co. announce that for reasons they consider good and sufficient but not through any lack of confidence in the enterprise itself, they decline to receive any further subscriptions to the stock of the American Meat Company. Those who have already subscribed will receive back the full amount of what they have paid in.

RUNNING UP THE BLUB FLAG. A commodore's commission arrived at the navy-yard this morning for Captain F. M. Ramsay, commandant ot the navy-yard.

Surgeon-General John Miles Browne, of the navy, visited the navy-yard this morning and was saluted. The steel cruiser Chicago is to carry the flag of the Secretary of the Navy in the naval procession In connection with the coming centennial celebration. The work on the ship is to be completed by the 20th instant. She has now 350 tons of coal aboard. ARREST OF RUSSELL HARRISON.

Mr. Russell Harrison, son of President Harrison, was arrested this afternoon in the office of Judge, in the Potter Building, on the charge of having published in his paper, the Montana Live Stock Journal, an article taken from a Buffalo paper accusing ex-Governor John Schuyler Crosby, of Montana, with having stolen jewels from a AVashington lady. Mr. Harrison came on from Washington for the purpose of having the papers in the suit served on him. The warrant was issued by Judge Beach, of the Supreme Court who fixed bail at $5,000.

Stephen B. Elkins, Vice-President Rice, of the Park Bank, and W. J. Arkell, of Judge, became Mr. Harrison's bondsman.

Judge L'Amoriaux, of Ballston Spa, is Mr. Harrison's counsel, and W. L. feweetser, his attorney. Gov.

Crosby demanded that Mr. Harrison should write him a personal letter of apology and also print the same. Mr. Harrison declined to do this, and Gov. Crosby hopes by having him arrested to force him to do so.

DUDLEY'S LIBEL SUIT: Counsellor Godkin, on behalf of the Evening Post appeared before Judge Beach in Supreme Court Chambers today, and moved for a dismissal of Col. AV. Dudley's suit against the Post to recover damages for the publication of an alleged libel consisting of the "Blocks of Five" letter. Counsel stated thatCoL Dudley on his examination before the commission in AVashington refused to testify as to matters concerning his complaint Col. Bliss argued that Mr.

Dudley had acted properly in declining to testify. He said Mr. Godkin had presented to Mr. Dudley the very letter upon which the Indiana grand Jury was asked to Indict him, and requested him to say whether or not it was his signature, and Col. Dudley declined to answer in order to protect himself in any proceedings brought.

Decision reserved. BROTHER AZARIAS'S LECTURE. At a public meeting of the Cathedral Library Reading Circle tonight Brother Aza-rias, formerly president of Rock Hill College, Ellicott City, delivered an address on "Reading," and was given an ovation. The large parochial hall in which he spoke was handsomely decorated with evergreens and potted flowers. Judge Morgan J.

O'Brien and many other prominent citizens were present. The Catholic clergy were represented in large numbers, the invitation to lecture having been extended Brother Aza-rias by the priests of the Cathedral congregation. Rev. Thomas McMillan, of the Paulist Order, and Rev. Mr.

Smith, editor of the Catholic Review, were among the well-known religious writers in attendance. In the course of his remarks Brother Azarias paid tribute to the value of the literary work of Dr. Urownson, the essayist, Kev. 1. T.

Decker, lt editor bt th CatheUo AV'orld, and Com- A Shakespearean Revival At Harris's academy of. Music Next Week. I "As You Like It," with a New Rosalind. Mahie Wainwright and Louis James In Tragedy and Comedy. A very just critic says of Marie Wainwright: "She can play more of Shakespeare women, as they should be played, better than any other actress before the public.

Many of them seemed to have been created for her. This is not possible, however, and she must have been made to play Ophelia, Desdemona, Beatrice, Rosalind and other heroines of Shakespeare. Her Rosalind is bright and tender and beautiful, and in the male disguise she assumes loses none of her womanly qualities. She was simply charm-ine. She wore the suit of a young man of wealth, and there was no prudery in her attire, but a modest costume, which displayed a graceful figure.

The performance was a good one throughout." "As You Like It" will be presented Next Tuesday Night. There will be no performance at Harris's Academy of Music Good Friday. Mr. Louis James wired Mr. Harris yesterday that his agent had made an error in announcing he and Miss Wainwright for Good Friday, as they never play on that day, consequently "As You Like It" will be given on Tuesday Night only.

The Famous Humorist A. Miner Griswold, of "The Texas Siftings." Will lecture at Ford's next Wednesday on, Griswold's Tour Around the World. The sale will commence Monday.

FROM WASHINGTON. BLAINE WAS NOT OYEREULED. HIS RELATIONS WITH THE PRESIDENT. A Statement from "Whitelaw Held Judge Thurman Visits the President Mar ylanders in Search of Office. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Washington, April 11.

In the course of a recent conversation Mr. Whitelaw Reid remarked that there was no foundation for any of the statements connecting his name with the mission to England. Therefore there was not the least ground for any assumption that Mr. Blaine had been overruled by the President. He said he had the best reason to know that up to this time there had not been the slightest approach to any difference of opinion between the President and the Secretary of State on the subject of the diplomatic appointments, and there was no reason for anticipating that there would be any.

Mr. Reid said he had never been in the list of ap plicants for diplomatic position, and so far as the British mission was concerned, he had recommended a gentleman for that place, who, however, he added laughingly, did not receive the appointment. He appreciated very much the tender of the French mission to him. Referring to the criticisms in some quarters over the alleged bad taste of editors accepting public positions, he said he had determined, without any regard to the justice or injustice of such strictures, to withdraw altogether from any control over the editorial utterances of the Tribune during the period he should occupy public place. It is understood that Mr.

Reid will take a large establishment in Paris, and that he proposes to entertain on a scale fully up to the standard of any member of the diplomatic corps. The hospitalities dispensed at his magnificent i-esidence on Madison avenue. New York, the interior apartments of which are said to excel those of any other house the city, have been famous in the highest social circles for some years, and there is no question that he and Mrs. Reid will occupy the same prominent place in the social and official circles of the gay capital of the French. JUDGE THURMAN VISITS THE PRESIDENT.

Judge Allen G. Thurman was personage attracting- a srreat deal of interest in the lobby of the Ebbitt House today, surrounded by dozens ot well-known ponticians, wno, however, were not asking his intercession with the President. Late in the afternoon he called at the White House and had a pleasant interview with the President. Judge Thurman is somewhat feebler than when he was here before, and leans heavily on the arm ot his son, who accompanies mm wherever he goes. THE NEW BRITISH MINISTER.

DEPARTURE OF THE CHINESE MINISTER.

The Chinese minister will soon leave the country, as his three years' term of service has expired. On Monday evening next he will give a farewell dinner to the cabinet, justices and Senators. MARYLANDERS IN SEARCH OF OFFICE. The failure of the President and Secretary Windom to settle the contest over the Maryland-Delaware internal revenue collector-ship yesterday increased the railway travel between AVashinarton and Baltimore. Mary- landers were numerous among the callers at the AVhite House and the Treasury Department.

Mr. J. Guest King came down from Annapolis this morning and had a pleasant interview with Secretary AVindom and First Assistant Bacheller about his candidacy for a special agency of the treasury. The Secretary appeared favorably impressed with Mr. King, and the latter returned home very much encouraged over his prospects.

State Senator Burchinal, of Kent county, accompanied by his colored friend, AV. H. Perkins, of the Eastern Shore, saw Secretary AVindom today on a matter which he stated was strictly confidential. It was learned subsequently that be is an applicant for the collectorship of the port of Baltimore, and he announced to some friends that he is in this fight to stay. L.

E. P. Dennis, of Crlsfleld, who was a delegate to the Chicago convention, called upon the President and announced himself as a candidate for collector of the port at Crisfield. The President referred Mr. Dennis to the Secretary of the Treasury, and later in the day he placed his paper on tile with Appointment Clerk Byrnes.

Mr. Negley, of Western Maryland, a son of Peter Negley, formerly subtreasurer at Baltimore, called at the State Department with Representative McComas and put in an application for a consulate. H. C. Keefer, of Frederick, was here with E.

A. Gittinger, who is an applicant for appointment in the public service. Robert AViddecombe and Worth Spates were at the Treasury Department with their friend, Mr. Durkhart, who wishes to become a member of the secret service force. Adrian Posey still has hope of securing th6 Internal revenue collectorship, and he saw Secretary Windom again todayln his own behalf.

MARYLANDERS GROWING IMPATIENT. Some of the Maryland office-seekers are growing impatient because their claims have not been recognized. They claim that Messrs. McComas, Stockbridge and Mudd are not persistent enough in their demands upon the administration, and unless they are up and doing all of the desirable places will be captured by the other States. A party of Marylanders, while discussing the subject at the Riggs House today, undertook to make an inventory of the Maryland delegation's receipts up to date.

Mr. McComas was put down as to having nothing to his credit beyond numerous promises. Mr. Stockbridge's docket was also put down as blank, and Mr. Mudd, outside of the prospect of having the internal revenue collector, has, according to the discontented ones, secured a few minor positions in the Washington navy-yard.

Since Mr. McComas returned to AVashing-ton he has received numerous communications from persons desiring appointments in the Baltimore custom-house. Invariably his reply is that it is hardly probable that any change will be made in the custom-house until next winter, and under the circumstances he advises the writers of such letters to hold on to their applications and indorsements until the change takes place. A DELEGATION OF TEXAN GIRLS. The most welcome delegation that has visited the White House since the fourth of March called today.

It was composed of about fifteen bright, smiling school girls from Texas. They are members of a young ladies' seminary, here on a sight-seeing expedition and in search of material for annual commencement essays. Each one carried a notebook and pencil, and instead of writing a page about the AVhite House they will probably compose several chapters. AVhen they called the President was engaged with a room full of political visitors. He gave the young ladies the preference, and he enjoyed a ten minutes' chat with them.

They were "perfectly charmed" with the candid manner in which they were received, and their only regret was that they could not make a stenographic report of his pleasant sayings to them. The President asked them numerous questions about their tour, and said he was glad they had not overlooked him in their wanderings. They were given the freedom of the State apartments and the surrounding gardens, and each one of them was presented with a blossom from the conservatory. MR. HOLLAND'S APPLICATION.

Jackson C. Holland, formerly superintendent of construction at the Baltimore post-office, called on the supervising architect this morning to inquire about his application for reinstatement. He was told that the papers in his case would all be laid before the Secretary of the Treasury at the earliest opportunity, probably tomorrow. Mr. AVin-drim did not seem sure that the Secretary had made up his mind to an immediate change in Baltimore, but it will probably be settled tomorrow.

MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA POSTOFFICES. Representative L. E. McComas called at the Postofiice Department this afternoon and recommended the appointment of Daniel A. Carl as postmaster at Hancock, AVashington county, Md.

Mr. S. E. Mudd was also in the department. He did not file any papers, but made some inquiries about some of the offices in the fifth Maryland district.

Fourth-class postmasters were appointed for AVest Virginia today as follows: Samuel B. Edmonston at Paw-Paw, Morgan county, to succeed O. S. AVilson, resigned; J. C.

AVhite, at AVest Grafton, Taylor county, to succeed A. Rightmire, removed, and Millard S. Black, at Tayner, AVood county, to succeed S. T. Foulty, removed.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l AVashington, April 11.

Although Mr. Cleveland approved the act of May 24, 1888, authorizing the President to invite our southern neighbors to an international conference this year in the city of AVashington, he refrained from appointing the delegates to represent the United States in the assemblage, the purpose of which, as set forth in the act, is "to discuss and recommend to their several governments a plan of arbitration for the settlement of disagreements that may hereafter arise between them, and for considering questions relating to the improvement of business intercourse and means of direct communication between the countries, and to encourage such reciprocal commercial relations as will be beneficial to all, and secure more extensive markets for the products of each of the countries." The act extends the invitation to Mexico, the republics of Central and South America, Hayti, San Domingo and Brazil. PROPOSITIONS TO BE DISCUSSED.
