HARRISON DEFIED
THE RESIGNATION TERSELY OFFERED
BY THE SECRETARY.
NOT A WORD OF RECOGNITION FOR
SSRVJCRS THAT HATE HONOR
ED THE ADMINISTRATION.
Washington, June 4.—Janie* 6.
Blaine resigned the portfolio of Secre
tary of State at 1 o'clock to-day,
President Harrison accepted it an hour
later. No ink was wasted in the cor
respondence. On both sides it was
cold and formal. There was no ex
pression of regret on either side, and
the President even forgot the usual
oonrtesy of expresing his appreciation
of the services hitherto rendered by
the head of his Cabinet.
But Mr. Blaine's letter was a ,levin
ration of war, open and fair. It was
accepted as such, even if, in his
haste to take up the gauntlet lest hesi
tancy might be attributed to fear, the
President did forget to be eourteous or
even dignified.
Apparently no one of Mr. If lames
friends had any intimation as to his
intention. May be General Clarkson
and those who are looking after the
Secretary’s interests in Minneapolis
knew it; but party leaders in Wash
ington did not. But the step having
been decided on, Mr. Blaine did pot
wait to consult his friends. With his
usual firmness he acted.
It was just 12:45 o'clock when Mr.
Blaine's secretary, Mr. Dent, left the
room of his chief. He went directly
to the Ezcutive Mansion. Ia his
pocket reposed a communication ad
dressed to President Harrison, sealed
ia an official envelope of pie State De
partment. Private Secretary Halford
received the message and took it at
once to the President. The latter tore
open the letter and read:
“Department of State, 1 j
“Washington, June 4,185)2, } ]
“To tke President:
“I respectfully beg leave to submit
my resignation of the office of Secre
tary of State of the United States, to
which I was* appointed by you on the
5th of March, 1889.
“The condition of poblic business in
the Department of State justifies me
in requesting that rav resignation may
be aoeepted immediately. I ha ve the
honor to be, very respectfully, your
obedient servant.,
•“(Signed) James G. Blaine.”
Without a word the President hand
ed the message to Mr. Halford. Then,
as it was the hour fixed for public re
ception, he went to the East Room,
where he shook hands with some two
hundred guests. He said little, but it
was apparent that he was doing a
'•heap o’ tbinkin’.” The reception
over, he hastened to lunch, but was at
his desk a half hour after he had re
ceived Mr. Blaine's letter.
It was &05 when Private Secretary
Halford called at Secretary Blaine's
residence on Lafayette Square. He,
too, bore an official envelope, which he
placed in the hands of Mr. Blaine him
Hself. The letter it contained read: J
“Executive Mansion,
“Washington June 4,1892. J
“To The Secretary of State:
“Your letter of this date, tendering
your resignation of the office of Secre
tary of State of the United States, has
been received. The terms in which
you state your desire are such as to
leave me no choice but to aeeede to
your wishes at once. Your resigna
tion is therefore accepted. Very res
pectfully yours,
“(Signed) Benjamin Harrison.
“HdN. James G. Blaise.”
While this letter was on its way to
Secretary Blaine the President was
busy sending telegrams announcing
the resignation of the Secretary of
State to the other members of the Cab
inet. Within fifteen minutes Attor
ney-General Miller was at the White
House, and be kept the President com
pany until Secretary of War ^Elkins
arrived. Neither waited long, but the
way. in which they kept the telegraph
wires busy duringjbe afternoon indi
cated their agitation.
The news of the resignation created
the most intense excitement through
out the city. Few would at first be
lieve it. Mr.. Blaine’s most intimate
friends did not anticipate it. The con
sensus of opinion is that Mr. Blaine
has thrown the gauntlet, and that his
resignation is a declaration that he is
a candidate.
The effect of the resignation at Min
neapolis is eagerly canvassed. Friends
of both Mr. Harrison and Mr. Blaine
express the fear that if either is nomi
nated the friends of the other will be
too •‘•ore” to go actively into the cam
paign. *
Mr. Blaine gave out copies of his
resignation and the acceptance to the
press, but declined to talk.

B. F. Patterson. a Former Martleshuritrr
A rraated.
Mr. B. F/Patterson, formerly a re*i
dent of this city, and who for some
time past has been connected with the
Swift Beef Co., is agaiu involved in
trouble. Mr. Patterson has been sta
tioned at Cumberland for some time,
past, aud has sold a great deal of the
Company's meat to the butchers in this
city. The Cumln>rland »«•*, of Satur
day, says:
Yesterday afternoon the stock of
Oustavus F. and Edward C. Swift,
trading as the Cumberland Beef Com
pany, was attached by the Sheriff on
a claim made by Mr. B. F. Patterson,
the former manager, amounting to
$1,309. The attachment set forth the
following items of indebtedness: Due
Mb. Patterson, $080, his share of one
fifth of the net profits of the Cumber
land Beef Company as per contract
from January 25th to Mav 20th, which
were $3,400; cash advanced to and
paid out for said Company between
said dates, $720; expensea to Chicago
and back, $39; two week’s' salary at
$25 per week, $30. This attachment
is the outgrowth of one laid upon the
stock of the beef company a week ago.
The house was closed for a few days,
the company's auditors came on and
arranged things and the doors of the
firm were again opened. ^
A week prior, Mr. Patterson resign
ed his position with the beef company
and went to New Jersey. On his way
back he was placed under arrest in
Baltimore by Deputy Sheriff MacDon
ald on the charge of having forged the
acceptance of William Morris & Co,,
of Philadelphia, to a* draft drawn by
the Cumberland Beef Company on
that firm and payable to B. P. Patter
son, manager, dated May 16th, and
purporting to have been accepted on
the 17th. The draft was endorsed by
Capt. Hedges of the Windsor Hotel,
and presented at the Second National
Bank for deposit. Cashier Annan dis
covered that an erasure had been
made and called attention to it. The
draft was returned to Patterson who
tore it up and put the fragments in
the pocket of his coat which he subse
quently left hanging in the office of
the beef company when he left for
AsburyParkon Friday of last week.
During his absence the matter was
looked into and the pieces of the mu
tilated draft found in the pocket, past
ed together, and Morris & Co. com
municated with who denied all knowl
edge of such draft, upon which a war
rant was sworn out and Deputy Sheriff
MacDonald sent to Annapolis for a
requisition on the Governor of New
Jersey. It was learned that Patter-,
son would return here, so MacDonald
was stopped at Baltimore, and on the
arrival of the Philadelphia train he ar
rested Patterson in the cafe at Cam
den Station and brought him to this
city on the midnight train. He was
taken before Squire Thompson and
was released on *1,000 bail. He will
appear before Squire Thompson when
his bondsmen appear and waive a
hearing. The matter is delayed on ac
count of their absence.
COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES.
The colored school of this city held
its annual commencement exercises at
the Martin street Opera House Satur
day night. The audience -was a very
large one, and consisted of almost as
many white people as colored. The
exercises were very entertaining, and
suggestive of the fact that many of the
younger people could apply themselves
in the walk’s of life to the same ad
vantage as other people. The pro
gram showed considerable pains on the
part of those having it in charge, and
reflects great credit on the principal,
Mr. W. C. Evans.
The House m Commons adjourned <
yesterday for the Whitsuntide holidays.
THE WITNESS GONE.
GREENE HAS LEFT FOR PARTS IN
KNOWN.
ATTORN E Y-OKNKH A l. Jo HATS THE
CHARTER FORFEITED—RA*C A L.I
TV IN IT* WORST SHAPE.
Harry E. Greene, the principal wit
ness in the case against the Interna
tional fraternal alliance has disapflear
ed, and no one can tell whore he is.
Without Oreeue the case against the
alliance will lie very difficult to make
out. He was the book-keeper of the
alliance, and, it is said, furnished from
the books which were entirely under
his control, all the information upon
which the application for a receiver
was based. He afterwards signed an
affidavit declaring that this informa
tion was obtained front him while he
was tinder the influence of liquor, and
asked the court to allow him Jo with
draw his signature from the bill for a
receivership, This point was to have
been argued June 8, but it now looks,
even if the court decides not to allow
him to withdraw, as if he cannot be
produced.
A man of Thr World called at hi*
home, 1709 Barclay St., Balto., Friday
morning. The bell wan atiNwered by
hi* ninter. She Maid that she hadn't
seen Hairy for some time aud had not
tho slightest idea where he was. She
appeared very anxion* to know who
wanted to see him, The reporter
next called on Greene's brother-in-law,
Thos. J. Shewbrooks,. at Lombard and
Charles streets.
“I couldn’t tell you where Greene
| is,” said Mr. Shewbrooks, “I havn’t
seen him for at least ten days. I don't
thmk he is in the city. If he is he
hasu’t been home. No, I can state
almost positively that he is out of
town.”
“Yes,” said ex-Secretary Msulsby,
of the alliance, “and you can depend
on it that there is a good many miles
between Greene and the City of Balti
more at this monieut, and before night
there will be a good many miles mor6
if he has money to buy tickets.
“There are more reasons than one
why the people who want to see the
alliance go into the hands of a receiver
would like to see Greene. We do not
care for his withdrawal from the suit
particularly. In his request to the
court asking that he be allowed to
withdraw, he does not deny that what
he has sworn to in the bill was untrue.
He simply says that the newspaper re
ports are exaggerations and that is all.
“He cannot deny what is alleged in
in the bill without committing perjury,
for his name is signed to it, and we
have a number of witnesses that he
was not intoxicated when he swore to
the charges. Yes, we would like tio
find Green very much but we can’t do
it just yet.”
When a World reporter called on
Mr. Unverzagt, at his office on Friday
morning, he was told that the gentle
man was out of town, and that |iis
brother John Would not be at the office
until late in the afternoon. No one
around the office had seen Greene since
he resigned his position of book-keep
er, and could not give even a hint of
where he was.
A dispatch from Annapolis states
that Atty.-Gen. Poe has received or
ders from the governor to have the al
liance charter forfeited.
Atty.-Gen Poe, it is Understood will
at once commence proceedings against
the International fraternal alliance and
compell the officers to show cause why
the charter should not be repealed and
the affairs of the concern wound up.
These proceedings will be under the
statute and will have to be made in
the superior court. It is entirely with
in the discretion of the judge whether
the charter be repealed or whether the
objectionable features be stricken out.
A number of members of the alliance
signed the petition upon which Gov.
Brown acted when be ordered the at
torney-general to commence proceed

An ordcj; dismissing the appeal of
the Supreme Council of the American
Fraternal Circle from the decision of
theconrt appointing receivers was Hi
ed in Circuit Court No 2f, yesterday,
by Isidor Rn/ner and Bernard Carter,
counsel for the circle. The order
states that a prompt distribution of
the funds will be to the interest and
advantage of the certificate-holders,
and that the officers trust for theirviu
dicatiou to a fuller understanding of
their management by the members.
A petition from a largeuutnber of certifi
cate-holders and officers of subordinate
councils was presented to the court.
It deprecated the appeal, and asked
the court not to allow the receivers
more than 910,000 commission, at
which figure certain trust companies
and reputable bankers are willing to
distribute the fund, which is alfin bank.
or VITAL IMVOKTANCK.
The question am to whether drunken
ness can or cannot be cured is one of
direct and vital interest to a large sec

at the hands of our people. The Rev.
