Immediately after, hla arrival In Wash ington this afternoon Secretary" Taft went to the War department and summoned Gen eral Ainsworth, miliary secrctury; Briga dier General Barry, cjiief of staff, and Gen eral Oliver, assistant, secretary of war, for a conference. William Loch, Jr., socrctiry to the president, was also summoned to the War department before the end of the con ference, which lasted more than an hour. AH were silent about tire conclusions reached, and It la assumed that the secre tary ot war has decided to let the case of the colored trooops stand Just where it Is until ho gets in touch "with President Roosevelt, who is expected to .arrive uf Ponce, Porto Rico, tomorrow. FORT RENO. Okl... Nov. 20. Tit order from Washington to hold In abeyance the order discharging the negro troops with out honor did not come as a complete sur prise at Fort Reno. . Military men who have watched the extent of the public feel ing against the discharge orders have be lieved that the War department would de lay tho carrying out of the project until a further Investigation was made. It wus believed hero that Secretary Taft was re sponsible for tha abeyance order. During his recent trlp"of inspection of the mili tary posts In the south it is understood that General W. S. McCaskey, the bend of the Department of Texas, made the secre tary thoroughly acquainted with the his tory of the entire affair at Brownvllle. Before the order waa received yesterday from Washington twenty-four members of Company B had already been discharged ithout honor. The weather was cold and disagreeable. , As the soldiers were p lid off and dismissed they were orderly and well behaved. Nono displayed any ugly feeling. The officers were mute.

The thirty eighth annual convention of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Albany convened in All SaJnt-,' cathedral in this city "today. The feature of principal public Interest was tho address of Right Rev. William Cros well Doanc, who from the foundation of the diocese has been Its bishop. His widely known interest on the subject of marajage and divorco was again displayed in his earnest references to that subject, in the course of which, after alluding with ap proval to the meeting ut Philadelphia of the congress on uniform divorce laws, at which he was present, he said in part: Whatever result is to he attained tn deul I'ltr vith this most important question de pends upon three things: In the first place, what legislative action can.be secured to correct the methods of procedure; l.i the .a v ,ii,,-H u-lmt iiri'kuii. rnn Vu. htvMiirht I to bear by people who really control and 'renin carrier. govern what Is called society: and in the t'Jte; Oskaloosa, next place, by the positive and definite out spokenness of the churches.

Secretary or the Interior Hitchcock will devote the remainder of his time as a cublnet ' official to the prosecution of tho case which he has worked up against cattlemen of Nebraska, charged with the Illegal fenrlng of tho public domain. Colonel John Mosby procured the greatest amount of evidence against the callle lar ons whili acting ns special agent of the Interior department several years npo. Re cently a number of other cases in Nebraska of alleged Illegal fencing huive been Invest igated, and these are to be prosecuted before Secretary Hitchcock leaves the position of secretary of the Interior. Further than this he has prepared anil will print In his re port to congress as an appendix a full list of the names of cattlemen who are charged with Illegally occupying the public domain, with a description of the lands which they are alleged to have lllegaly fenced, and, In fact, all the details upon which the Depart ment of Justice, through the evidence fur nished by the Interior department, has en tered upon legal proceedings against the cattle growers. Way to Accent Pollard Money. And still the Pollard "hack pay" case worms Us way along through tha inter stices of red tape. There seems, however, to be light ahead and a way found to accept the check of the congressman from the First Nebraska district for the money sent him by Sergeant-at-Arms Casson of the house of representatives to cover the interregnum between March 4, 1905, and July 18, 1U05, when Mr. Pollard was elected to succeed Senator Burkett. According to one of the auditors connected with the government, an unexpended balance under an annual appropriation is covered back to tho "surplus fund" three years from the date of its availability. For instance, an appropriation beginning July 1, !!;, Is for the fiscal year V.xf!, and any expense Incurred between July I, !HJ6, and June i, 190", must be paid out. of the particu lar appropriation. If it is a salary ques tion, as It; tho Pollard case, according to the auditor In question, and no one is en titled to the money within that time, then the amount will bo covered back to the surplus fund two years after the close ot the fiscal year for which the appropriation waa miuie. , In the opinion of the auditor, if Sergeant-ut-Arms Casson In the Pollard case had not drawn a chtck to Mr. Pollard the amount of money accruing froe. March i 1905, to July IS. .1905. would have gone back to the surplus . fund two year after the close of the fiscal year for which tho. appropri ation was made. As the auditor . for the state and other departments has authority under the law of reopening any settlement that miy have been previously made after the expiration of one year und revise the account on the basis of new and material evidence It ia thought that Mr. Pollard's check will not remain long In the hands of Sergeant-at-Arms Cabson. It is now suggested that Mr. Pollard redraw his check payable to the- treasurer of the United State, send It through Colonel Casson s office with the request that the amount be covered to the appropriations from which it was origi nally obtained and the incident of Pollard "back pay" will bo closed. One thing Is sure; the government will get tho money and it may leael to an opinion which will solve the vexed question of who Is en titled to the money as In the Pollard case. Mluor Matter at Capital. Congressman Hull of the Des Moines (Ia.) district arrived in Washington today for the forthcoming session. Colonel Hepburn of the Clartnda (Ia.) district is in the city.

Great Interest was taken In Mr. Root's reference tn tho Monroe doctrine, which he declared is still re garded os a vital principle in the conduct of the affairs of the western hemisphere. The representatives of Bolivia, Peru. Co lombia.

Secretary Root's subject waa "Commer cial Union w'tli South American Repub lics." He said: Since tho first election of President Mc Klnley the perIo ot th l ulled State have for the first time accumulated a sur plus of capital beyond the requirements of Internal development.
