WASHINGTON , May 13. [ Special Telegram
to the Br.K.I It Is said there Is a bran now
rupture between the president nnd his secre
tary of war. Mi. Endicott Thu cause ot the
trouble , It Is alleged , is on account of the sec-
rctiry of war having opposed some of the
president's recent appointments , who were
too democratic to suit thn secretary. En-
dlcott wanted the president to throw an occa
sional morsel to the hungry mugwumps , but
the president refused , because he is now
working tor democratic delegates. It Is re
ported that thu president has told Endicott
that ho could leave the cabinet it the admin
istration's policy did not suit him , but , to use
the language of Colonel Ltmoiit , "Eiidlcott
docs not know how to take n hint , "
Those OhnoxlotiH Itulea ,
WASHINGTON , May 13. [ Special Telegram
to the BII : : . | Practlctlly speaking , there has
been no olllclal denial of thu assertion that
the recently promulgated rules ot the civil
Bei vice commission are Intended to place a
weapon In the hands of heads of depart
ments with which to wood out republican
emplo > es. The absence of n denial has
raised the trepidation among the old clerks
to n pitch most painful. This evening's
.Star , n conservative nowspipur , says editor
ially : "The truth Is that thu now regula
tions , as amended by definitions which , for
the most part , do not define anything In the
rules , but add new matter of Importance , are
BO muddled and uncertain that they please
nobody neither civil service reformers nor
spoilsmen , neither actual nor would-bo
clerks and promise no Improvement of the
public service. This very uncertainty adds
to the uneasiness of the clerks by rendering
n satisfactory preparation to meet the threat
ened danger Impossible , nnd by leaving
them oxooscd to tlio risk of a hostile con
struction of ambiguous rules , nnd at thu
mercy of amendments or dehiiitlons chang
ing the meaning of little which seems clear.
Tlio public will sympnthl/o with the
otforts to prevent unjust promotions ,
secured by Importunate solicit itions and
coercive Influence from the outside and piu-
judlce , favoritism or connption on the part
ot appointing olllcers. But the now rules
beai on their face an Indication that they nro
not designed to accomplish this reform , and
except lu providing n permanent daily record
of practical elltcleiicy have no tendency
toward tl.ls orany other good cud , unless It
consists , ns nn niithorl/ed contemporary
boasts , In frightening cleiks into unaccus
tomed activity and Industry by vague and
unintelllgnblu threatsofevll. The clerk may ,
without rules , bu examined nnd tested as to
his practical elllclency nnd discharged If In-
ellicleut or retained and promoted if eMIclent
IT then-is nny foundation for the slander
that tlio vast mijorlty of old govern
ment emploj es nro Incompetent and unlit to
hold olllco , why were they not discharged
long ngo for Inefficiency , under the powers
then nnd now existing. Thus It will lie seen
that democintlc civil scrvico reform has
nctcicd down to n 'definition , ' but who Is to
iluiinuthe delinltlony "

The Healing VCHSO ! Seizures.
WASIIINOTON , May 111. Inquiry at the de
partment of stito regarding the British vessels
sel/ed In Behrlngsca last summer , disclosed
the tact that no demand had ever been made
by the British government for the release of
the vessels , nor has any claim for damages
caused by the seizures been made upon the
government ot the United States. The cor
respondence between the two governments
on the subject was very limited. It opened
with n letter fiom the English government
reciting the fact ot the .sel/urcs nnd asking
for Information tolativu to the details. This
was received In September , and Secretary
Bayard Immediately made an examina
tion of the matter. It became necessary
to secure the record of proceedings before
the United States court In Alaska , which had
resulted In thu condemnation of the sealers ,
and It was not until thn following February
that this was received nt thedepartmnnt. A
c.irelul examination wns then made of the
law and of the treaty of cession by which tlio
United States bccamo possessed ot Alaska ,
which resulted in the order for the release of
the scl/ed vessels. 'Ihu tact that the sealers
had been released was communicated to the
British government and that was about all
there was of correspondence upon the sub
ject.
Prince tioopnld Sulky.
WASIIINOTON , May 13. [ Special Tele
gram to the Bnn.J There Is some talk In
diplomatic circles over the failure of Prince
Leopold to visit Washington as ho Intended.
Those who claim to know the real cause ot
the change in the plans assert that the prince
felt slighted at the treatment received from
the state deprrtmcnt or rather the want of
treatment and that ho resented the alleged
failure of this government to properly rccog-
nl/o htm by giving Washington the cold
shoulder. The trouble seems to be thnt the
voting man expected a formal Invitation to
visit Washington upon announcing his In
tention to travel this way , and failing to re
ceive this , he changed his plans nnd will
leave for Europe without viewing the beau
ties of the capital. It is said hero that ho
carried his entment so far ns to charter n
steamer to take his party to West Point yes
terday so as to prevent the United Stntes
from extending him thu courtesy ot a man-
ot-vvnr for the trip.

A CHANCE TO VIEW ROYALTY
Staring at the Queen the Amusement For
Londoners To-Day
PREPARING FOR THE EVENT.
Victoria to Give Her Subjects an Op
portunity to Sec Her Fnoo For
the First Time In Many
Years.
The Queen In Public.
[ CY > j > ; /i njlil 1W b\i \ Mints Oitnl > n Ilcnnttt. ]
LONDON , May 14,1 a. in. [ Now York Her
ald Cable-Special to the BKK.I 1 have just
returned from an eight miles'drive over the
route which the queen to-morrow
afternoon will be driven for her
first avowed appearance In a public
exhibition during many , many years. For
somohours "staring at the queen" will bo
the amusement for at least 2,000,000 of her
subjects , who know her only by the photos
of her seclusion. For a long time mst the
cabinet ministers of either party have bogged
her for the sake ot trade and political Iran-
qulllty to again appear publicly. At last they
triumph.
THE I1OYAI. IIOUTE.
The length of the route for to-morrow's
royal show can but be described by likening
It to one reaching from High bridge to the
Uattery. As 1 drove along I found thou-
bandsof workman decorating with shields ,
banners , flags and mottos the buildings and
lamp posts. From Lord Randolph's I'ad-
dlneton constituency to the borders of Essex
county from the extreme west to the ex
treme east the line of the route Is do mocrat
Ically chosen , but protected by
thousands ot ' police and military.
The sidewalks are to bo free , but the lodging
house and shopkeepers Mid publicans on the
line will charge for house places and win
dow seats and a chair from half a crow n to A
guinea. I noticed the Stars and Stripes liber
ally placed , but of course no wearing of the
green. Some of the mottoes are felicitous ;
others of the creon grocer stile of loyalty.
' The dear old lady , " said the cabman to me ,
"ought to bo cheered , for Isn't she golug to
make tl.e ha-pcnnles and bobs fly. "
KUATUllKS OK TIIK I'UOCHSSIOX.
The greatest feature In the procession will
bo the volunteers 10,000 in number who
from the beginning td the end of thu route
will line tlio curbs at a piesent arms , each
regiment In different uniform. These wilt
foim practically a living wall between the
spectators nnd the queen from the moment
she quits the railway station until she
reaches the people's palace , or as much of it
as has been built by the fund provided
through a private gift.
Theiois some fear of impoliteness when
she passes near IJevis Marks , St. Mary Axe ,
Aldgato Pump and the vvldo shopping sticets
beyond because of her alleged unsrraclous
silence when thousands of east end shop
keepers petitioned her to change the day
from Saturday so thov might then have full
public custom for wares and a profit for
seatb on another day besides.
TIIK I'EOt'I.K'd PALACE.
As much of the pa lace as is already done
consists of n large , finely proportioned hall ,
decorated with light blue , pink and gold
stone color predominating. An Italian cot-
feted ceiling presents , in an oval arch , some
stained glass which , besides the royal arms
monograms and Princeot Wales feathers ,
depicts the escutcheons of Scotland , Eng
laud , Wales , Irelai d , Canada , Australia and
the star of India , elvhu an impcrLiI character
actor to the general dasUn ot the roof
At the back , where meet gallerles'"curvcd
into bays and supported by sculpture cary
atids , are statues In Uouun carton which (9 (
seen In the sculptures at the Hotel du Villo
in Paris , of twenty-threo gioat queens , be
ginning with Esther , of blblo fame , and end
Ing with Victoria. Eich statue occupies s
niche between two Corinthian columns
These statues are executed by Ver Hayden
the sculptor , who , in Beit vs Laws , was dls
believed by a jury when ho said himself am
not licit did certain sculpture in dispute.
THE r.xKitcisrs.
At this hall the Prince of Wales nnd othe
members of the family join the queen , who
In her carriage , has already exhibited He
atrlce and Helena , with Prlnco Henry o
liattenberg , for who also to see raises In :
inenso curiosity amonc the staring masses
Perhaps the phrase "That's Mm" will bo ai
often ungrammatically used by the cocknoj
as "That's'or" In the hall. There will be
somntedious speeches delivered , n song b ;
Albanl , and "Old Hundred" given Dy
choir that might awaken ultasau
echoes In the grave of Isaac Watt k
in London soil not throe mile
distant. As the next trumpet blares in th
ear the Archbishop of Canterbury wh
as thn church will support the state on tb
right hand of tire queen will proclaim tli
building opened. The show wilt not , nov
ever , then cease. The queen will now b
driven to the mansion house residence ot tli
lord mayor fornsnnsot luncheon , nnd wl
pass to the great banqueting hall betweo
rows of several hundred ladles and gentli
men , yet who are not batiquctters , and wh
10 will live delightfully over after because the
had Inspected her majesty from such n coi
venlent place.

Before tlio Commission.
Nnv Yonu , May U. The session of ] the
1'aclflc railway commission was resumed to
day with Uussfll Sago on the stand , llo
testified substantially ns follows : For my
sixth Interest in the St. Louis pool securities
1 paid SJOO.m Could had live-sixths ot the
pool , but I understand that he parted with
portions of his Interests how much ot to
whom i do not remembei. Whltu Could was
In t ; it rope ho purchased ot n Dutch syndi
cate n latyro amount of bonds und stock , of
which I took at cost fourteen bonds ot the
Denver Pacific , 3Mh ! shares of stock , and 100
reorganization bonds for SIOO.OOO. On the
1st of Jonuary , 18SO , I owned 8,877 shares ot
Kansas Pacific stock and 14,700 shares ot
Union Pacltlc stock , and besides these , S7W-
000 In Kniisaa Paciilc consolidated bonds ,
8181,000 In St. JostphA Piclhc , Sir , UOO in
Kansas & NebrasRn , and S'JI.OOJ in Denver
ite Uoulder Valloy. I bou/ht the St. Joseph
* Western and Kansas A Nebraska In open
market. 1 think somti ot thcso bonds wcro
exchanged tor consolidated bonds. 1 sup
pose Could acquired the securities by
purchase , M othei people do. 1 don't know
what ho paid for them ; \ou call laid that out
very readllv by putting him on the stand.
Commissioner Anderson commenced to
( inote "Sufficient unto the day , " when Sago
Interrupted with :
"Could , 1 think , Is very ranch hko myself.
llo attends to his own business. 1 do not
know why Could resigned ns director prior
to tlio consolidation. I don't question
his motives. 1 am not In the habit of guess-
ItiB people's motives. If ho resigned be
cause of his ptoposed dealings In the mat
ter of the consolidation 1 don't know. It
inlitht have been a reason. "
The minutes of the meeting of directors on
that occasion were road , and Sane remem
bered that ho moved thu nccept.inco of
Gould's resignation. The resignation was
dated January 10. " 1 wrote a lettei to Solon
Humphries and C. M. Dodnoln October , li > 79 ,
\\ithiefer < jtico to the \alnoof property in the
west and the desirableness ot Investments ;
also with reference to the propriety of the
consolidation of the Union Pacltlc and Kan
sas Pacllio , I thin B. that Mr.
Dillon and Mr. Ames signed the
letter. and , posslblv , Jav Could
also slcned It , as ho had 817,000,000 In stock
of the "Union Pacihc and conieimentlv had
oonsideiablo Interest , though 1 am sure he
was like mo opposed to thu consolidation ,
for his real Interest lay elsewhere. My im
pression is that 1 did not see the answer of
Messrs. Humphries and Dodc until tlio con-
solldntion meeting , though It Is dated Jan
uary li ( and addressed to me with others.1
The examination of Sage was contlnundw 1th
reference to the details of the consolidation
meeting , of which ho remembered very little. ,
"though ho made n majority of thu motions.-
When asked If Gould did not nsk him , tlio
day previous , to move the acceptation of his
resignation , witness said : "Could Is not In
the nabit of tolling me ot doing anything
until It U done. " Concerning Kansas Cen
tral securities or the earning capacity of that
road , Sage Know \ory little , llo had re
mained a director of the Union Pactllc , but
not being on the finance committee he did
not examine Into the matter catcfullv.
bago continued : "i don't know that
Could was a creditor on the books of the
Kansas Pacific nt the time ot the consolida
tion. At the time of the consolidation my
Interest in the Kansns Pacihc and Union
Pacific were about equal. I believed then
and bellovo now. had the consolidation boon
with the Missouol Pacific itonld have
proved moro advantageous to both roads ,
andatthosamo time 1 simply jeleldedto
the desires ol tlio directois of both roads
ngainst my better judgment. The Union
1'aclhe entered as a necessary measure to
prevent thn extension of the Chicago , Bur
lington & ; Qutncy and Its creation as a for
midable opposition line. 1 have wished , in
company with Commodore Garrison , to got
possession ot thu Kaims Paallic for tlio
Missouri Pacihc. but \\lthout my knowledge
Gould acquired Commodore Garrison's In
terest in oidet to prevent his tormldiblo
competitor , the Missouri Pacific , from obtainIng -
Ing control of the Kansas Pacific.
f , James U. Keene was the next witness. Ho
said he wasndltector of the Union Pacific ,
and with Sauo purchased 20,000 slnres of
Union Pacific of Jay Could at 78 n short
time before he became a dliector. At the
time of thn consolidation ho was in Now
York ; did not attend any consolidation
meeting ; held no Union Pacific stock at that
tune.
Washington E. Connor. Jay Gould's part
ner , explained thu nature of his business re
lations with the Union Pacific ; hid all the
books of the hri'is of Washington E. Conner
and Washington E. Conner k Co. at Ills sta
ble. They were open to the commission
and the accountant of the commission
might examine them and make abstracts ol
Gould's holdings in the various Pacific stocks
and bonds. "It would take a short time , " he
said , In answer to Commissioner Anderson ,
"as Gould's dealings are mainly with large
amounts of stock purchased from sliult
holders , and do not appear on the books ol
the company. 1 had no personal Interest In
the consolidation. "
The commission \\111 probably not examine
Jay Gould beloro next Thursday. C. P
llnntlngton explained to day to the commls
slon tliat he sails foi Emopn Mny 18 , nnd hi :
examination will bo deferred till httci his re
