jWELTim_REHLL It Is the Absorbing Theme In Naval, and Diplomatic Circles. RESIGNATION IS DELAYED. The Mlnletor De.lre* to See the Specific Chargee Filed Agalnet Him, and Before Reigning Will Endeavor to Present Hie Cane to the President—He Makes a Statement. Washington, May 13.—The diplomatic troubles concerning United States Minister Hazelton, resulting from serious charges matte by Admiral Meade, is ' the absorbing theme in naval and diplp--1 niatic circles. Mr. Hazelton has re- ! ceived a dispatch from Hon. B. Smalley I of Vermont, through whose influence he was appointed minister to Venezuela, saying he would arrive in Washington today to give personal attention to the case. It is not known definitely that 1 Secretary Gresham, in a cable dispatch to the minister, called for his resignation. The minister desires to see the specific charges, and before tendering his resignation will endeavor to have his side of the case presented to President Cleveland. Assistant Secretary Uhl expected the written resignation to be tendered Saturday, and asked for it at an interview with the minister in the morning, and again at 3 o’clock. But Mr. Hazelton asked that action be deferred until the arrival of Mr. Smalley, i with a view to putting in a defence to : the charges. He says he feels that his future standing is at stake, and this is more to him than the retention of the diplomatic mission, which hewih undoubtedly resign. The correspondence leading up to Mr. Hazelton's return has been brief and entirely by cable. Secretary Gresham’s dispatch stated that facts had come to ■ the knowledge of the .president Which | compelled him to call for the minister’s immediate resignation. Mr. Gresham spoke with deep regret of the necessity for this course. No specific charges were mentioned. Mr. Hazelton’s dis 1 patch, in answer, asked permission to leave for Washington to resign. His purpose was to come here and learn the ' charges, but by inadvertence he requested that he might return “to resign.” This last phrase was construed to mean a resignation, and accordingly Assistant Secretary Uhl has asked that the resignation be submitted in accordance with the dispatch. Mr. Wlazelton Depressed. Mr. Hazelton is much depressed over the condition of affairs. He speaks frankly in defence of himself, although reserved as to departmental matters. He referred yesterday to several farther -features of Admiral Meade’s visit to Venezuela, showing, in the judgment of the minister, the animus of the charge. One of the oScurences was in the presence of President Crespo of Venezuela. “It had been arranged,” said the minister, /‘That. 1 should pursue the usual course of officially presenting the admiral to the president. When, however. the president entered unexpectedly, Admiral Meade advanced to him, shook his hand and began speaking to him in Spanish. The president was noticeably surprised, knowing the arrangements made for an official presentation. At the first opportunity I stepped forward and thereupon formally introduced Admiral Meade to the president, and the admiral presented his staff officers. It was evident that the admiral was nettled that his informal greeting • of..the president had not sufficed, al- | though it was contrary to the honor due a president, and contrary to express ar- j rangement.” Scant Courtesy From the Admiral. Mr. Hazelton also speaks of his trip from Caracas to La Guayra on the train bearing the admiral, at which time the admiral did not Call on the minister as is said to be due from an admiral to the representative of the United States government. Whei| La Guayra was reached Mr. Hazelton says Sunday prevented his calling immediately upon the admiral of his flagship, the New York, as the rules of the navy forbid salutes and like courtesies on Sunday. When he ! called the next day, Monday, and was asked to the wardroom, Mr. Hazelton says Admiral Meade demanded peremtorily, “Why did you not call yesterday?” The minister says he avoided a controversy by saying he preferred not to call on Sunday, knowing the fleet would remain until Monday night. He says the courtesy shown him on the flagship was so scant that it was evident his departure was desired by the admiral. He received, however, the usual salute of 17 guns, due a United States minister on leaving the ship. Captain Glass of the cruiser Cincinnati commanded the gig carrying him ashore, and in the course of the trip Captain Glass stated that the rules of the. navy forbade Sunday salutes and like courtesies. Mr. Hazelton will first seek to answer the charges, and if he prevails on the -department to withdraw the request for nis resignation, he will seek a leave of absence. The charges referred to as filed by Admiral Meade reflect upon the sobriety of the minister and asserts that the business of the legation alniokt from the date when he took charge a year ago has been conducted altogether by the secretary of the legation, Mr. Bartienaan, who has been stationed at Caracas for the pastTive years. THE DELAWARE SENATORSHIP. Speculation as to Chances of an Appointee Being Seated. Washington, May 13.—The'probabilii ty that Governor Watson will-appoint a man as senator from Delaware to succeed Senator Higgins, is considered sufficiently Strong about the senate to pause a general speculation as to what would be the chances of his being I soared. The history of the senate does i.ot furnish a nurallel case to that which

would be presented in case of such action by the Delaware governor, but it is more like the cases of two years ago, presented from the states of Wyoming, Montana and Washington, than any others. It would be similar to those in ; bo far as it would involve the governor’s right to appoint when the legislature has failed to elect, but it would develop other questions, important among which would be the right of the governor to act in the capacity of a state senator while filling the executive office. The cases of the northwestern states also differ from that which would be presented from Delaware in that there was no counter claimant in any of them. OHITIIAHY. William doss was born in Ohm, July 1836 and died May 8, 1895, aged 58 years and about 10 mouths. His life has nearly all been spent here in Decatur, he having come here when a small boy. For 12 or 13 years he kept a restaurant in this city. He was a great genius to work, having made many useful and ornamental articles, to adorn the home. By bis friendly ways and honest dealings he had gained a great many friends. About 16 years ago be was married to Mrs. Elizabeth Yager, who bears testimony to the fact that he was a good and faithful husband. His father and mother, two brothers and a sister have gone on before while two brothers, John doss of Cincinnati, and Jacob C'loss of this city and a sister, Airs. Jesse Niblick also of this city are left with the widow and other friends to mourn the sqdben departure of the loved one. When a child he was very sick and the strong-medicine which he look at that time settled in his right arm and deprived him of its use. His health was good for the most part until about two weeks before he died, during which time he was feeling rather poorly and frequently remarked that he would have to give up work. On May 6th tn the afternoon, he went to bis sister’s Airs. Niblick, feeling as well as usual. On his return home about five o’clock be took a dose of quinine and asked for a drink of water. His wife took the pail and went to the well, but on her return found him lying on the lounge unconscious, in which condition he remained to the time of his death which occurred on the morning of May Btb at two o’clock. He died without a struggle, peacefully passing away like one going to sleep. Funeral services conducted by pastor H. H. Smith of the Baptist church were at the house last Thursday afternoon. He was laid to rest in Maplewood cemetery. ’ Relief In Six Hourm.
