Originating Over a Proposition to Bond the Town of Flora. [Special to The Indianapolis News.] Flora Ind., April 2.-A bitter fight is raging between the newspapers of Flora over a petition which has been presented to the Town Board asking that body to bond- the town for the purpose of street improvements. The Hoosler Democrat takes the position that the bonding of the town is a serious thing; contends that the taxes are sufficient for all the improvements necessary, and accuses the “grafters” of having control of the

board.

On the other hand, 4 the Sentinel and Enterprise are just as sure that a town can noi be real healthy without a bonded indebtedness, and they urge the money should be borrowed at once. The town convention, which will be held next Tuesday, will settle the question. The officers nominated on the Citizens' ticket will, in all probability, be elected, and It is almost sure that that ticket will be composed of the present

officers.

Besides the street improvements, there will be between two and three miles of cement walks built this year. o Both Leg* Broken In n Runaway. Lemuel Roberts and his son were driving In Union street, near Palmer street, just before noon to-day, when the horse became frightened -at a vehicle that was approaching rapidly in the rear.

For cutting slices off a horse's tongue John Underwood, who Ifves on the Churchman pike, south of Indianapolis, was In Police Court this morning. The man was arrested on warrant sworn out by humane officer R. A. Orlopp, who, when called to the witness stand, took a bottle of alcohol from his pocket, In which there were half a dozen pieces of flesh, which had been cut from the horse’s tongue. When the testimony of several farmers, who had picked up the pieces of flesh from the road, was given, people shuddered, and Judgs Cox turned to seek the greatest penalty that could be Imposed. The explanation which Mr. Underwood gave to the Court, however, duced the sentence about to be Imposed to a fine of )6. Underwood was driving a balky horse on the Brookvtlle road, r near Julietta. The horse stopped in a little creek, and refused to move. After several attempts had been made to Induce the animal to move, the old, cruel method of fastening a rope around the lower jaw of the horse and hitching another horse to the other end of the rope was resorted to. and lacerated the horse's tongue In a horrible manner. After Underwood had driven a few «niles further, his horse balked again, and In examining the animal's mouth, he found pieces of flesh hanging to the horse’s tongue. These he trimmed off, he said, In order to relieve the animal.

WAR WOULD AFFECT ENCAMPMENT.

Knight* of Pythia*? Preparation* Delayed—Waiting Development*.

The committee In charge of the work for the Knights of Pythias encampment are going slow with their work just now until the War situation resolves itself into something definite. While the encampment will not be abandoned even In the event of war, there would be many changes In the plans of the executive committee. The Uniform Rank of the Knights of Pythias is a semi-military organisation, and in the event of a war, thousands of members, it is said, will be among the first to enlist. This would take many visitors from the encampment, particularly from the Eastern States, but would have little effect in the middle States and throughout the West. Many at the officers in the uniform rank have seen military service. A war would only affect the committees which win furnish the supplies for the week, and it would not lessen the attendance from the tie effect to the Middle States and throughout the country-, which will be,much larger in any event than that of the uniform rank. George Powell has Just returned from a trip through the northern part of the State. He says that the members of the order In every city which he visited are taking lively Interest In the encampment, and expect to send big delegations to Indianapolis next August. Mr. Powell also says that he finds the war feeling strong tn every town that he visited. At every station crowds gather every day to get the papers, and ask Che train men what they have heard. The young men, particularly the farmers, are taking an Intense interest In the situation, and many of them come to town every day to learn what has happened. Secretary Bowers Is preparing a circular which will be sent to all of the lodges In the country next week, asking how many men will attend the encampment, and what they want In the way of entertainment. This circular also contains information of what has been done by tho local committees, and what will be done before the encampment. o

Peru, Ind., April 2.—Mrs. Mary Brewer, a Miami county woman who until recently lived in Denver is now en route to the gold fields of Alaska. She Is a member of a party of fortune-seekers from Chicago and when last heard from she had arrived at Skaguay. In a letter to her nephew, Harry Pontius, of this city. Mrs. Brewer says: “On board the Columbia. “We left Seattle March 3, and arrived here on St. Patrick’s Day. On our Journey we encountered some very severe storms and one day nearly ran onto a reef. At Wrangle Narrows, the most dangerous place on' the trip, our boat went on a sandbar and stuck. When the tide went out the vessel tipped and was nearly on its side for thirty-six houra The captain was afraid that it would go to pieces, but fortunately no such thing occurred. While stranded a party of us went ashore and took in the sights of an Indian village. Among the things we saw was a wooden statue of a woman holding a pair of field glasses. We were told that the statue marked the grave of a woman who was the only one saved from the wreck of a Russian vessel some years ago and that the field glasses constituted all the property saved. “I am anxious to see the pass. They tell me that it makes even the bravest hearts shrink. Well, nothing risked, nothing gained. The weather is exceptionally tine and it is not as cold here as it was in Peru when I was there last whiter. I will write every chance I get. It costs a dollar a line out and then one is not sure that the mail will reach its destination. I expect to take a claim and remain for two years.” Mrs. Brewer promises that If she strikes it rich she will take her nephew to Europe when she returns. PENNONS FOR INDIANIANS.

The Governor feels that such a staff. If assigned to duty In cose of hostilities, would fittingly represent the State at the

front.

The Colored Companies. The controversy as to what shall be done with the two separate companies of colored Infantry in this city has been renewed, and is greatly embarrassing the officials. During the term of Governor Matthews the two companies were detached. John J. Buckner, captain of the first company, and Jacob M. Porter, captain of the second company, were In line for promotion, and there was never any attempt to conceal the fact that the companies were detached from the regular service so as to prevent the promotion of the two colored captains to commands that would place them over white troops. Captain Buckner expressed himself with such vigor over the affair that recently hi* commission was revoked on the charge of Insubordination. Now, that there Is a chance of the militia seeing active *ervice, the colored people are insisting that the two companies be re-attached—re-assigned to regiments. Last evening a delegation of colored men— not members of the militia—called on the Governor and insisted that the companies be assigned. The field officers of the militia have said all along that to promote colored officers to command white troops would mean the disruption of the National Guard of the State, and the Governor endeavored to point out to his callers the unwisdom of doing anything at this critical time that might cause trouble In the militia When pressed for an answer as to whether he would coneent to assign the two companies, he said he would not. A go! not the Proposition. He proposed that two companies additional of colored troops be formed, and that a colored battalion be formed. If Chat were done, he said, he would ap-

INDIANA HAS MONEY. Could Respond to a Call for Famds la Case of War. Indiana will be prepared to respond to any call for financial assistance that may be made upon the commonwealth in case of prolonged war. This being the beginning of a new quarter, and pay-day, the members of the finance board considered informally the financial outlook. Aftor a little computation they were prepared to say that if there is not a demand for war money the State will continue to pay *100,000 a month on the public debt, thus saving *3,000 a month in interest. The present plan is to make a payment of *400,000 July 1. It is pointed out that if there should he war and a demand on the State to equip troops, there would be no embarrassment on account of lack of money. For the present, at least, the money which the State hod planned to apply on the permanent debt could be used for war purposes. The possibility of an extra session of the Legislature In case of war Is being discussed at the capital. It is pretty well understood that if any considerable demand should be made on the State It would be necessary to call the body together.

[Special to The Indlanapolla News.] Muncie*, Ind., April 2.—The threatened strike In window-glass circles depends upon a meeting of the executive committees of the cutters and fl&tteners this afternoon at Pittsburg. These committees will consider the ultimatum of the manufacturers. If these trades strike because of the decision that L. A. 300 men only are eligible to employment, these departments will be operated nonunion by the manufacturers. It Is believed that the committees will order a strike, although a strong Influence is being brought otherwise. BEAR AND MONKEY TIME.

pie declared they would not accept the proposition. The statement was authorized to-day that the Governor -will not do more than authorize the formation of two more colored companies, the formation of a battalion and the commissioning of a colored major. Several- of the best officers In the National Guard have served notice that they will resign If colored men be promoted to command white troops- The Governor recognizes the delicacy of the situation, and appreciates the feelings of the colored men, but he does not feel that at this time he ought to take any step that might cause a great deal of trouble in the National Guard of the State. In support of the Governor’s position, the staff officers of the militia point out that the colored troops In the regular army are all commanded by White officers. Lieutenant May says there are but tifro colored captains to the two regiments of colored

men.

A WOMAN’® VIEW. Mary Dean ou the Explosion, the Cuban and the War Talk. Miss Mary Dean has some ideas about the Maine Incident that have the merit of not being In lipe with general newspaper sentiment. “I have not,” said she, to-day, “met a single sound, solid person who says otherwise than that the Maine was blown up by accident. There are internal evidences of an accident. The report of the commission of inquiry' la not sound and reasonable enough to be worth thinking about. The * divers did not give a scientific statement of what they found. How could they? They were not capable of doing so. Their talk is that of persons who can not make a clear statement. It Is also evident that they preferred to make statements that would conform to the scare heads of the newspapers. “I don’t blame the newonnper »»*«*> They must give great sensation* If they hope to succeed and make money. l\ this continent was first settled by white people It was predicted that the whites In America would in time become savages. That time has come, perhaps, sooner than was expected. We live on excitement and must have a sensation every morning. The newspaper that can give us something to be angry and Indignant about every morning will make the most money. It certainly looks that way. How Indignant we were some time ag'o about the Armenians! That indignation appears to have entirely evaporated. “The kind of people we are, as a people, is well expressed by Rudyard Kipling, who says of the American: “His heart Leaps like a babe's at little things.” “I think this nation would be better, more prosperous on the whole. If our common people could not read. I do not vote, and a woman may say what she pleases. I am in favor of woman suffrage as of man suffrage, only on a property qualification—no literary qualification whatever. College professors have most erroneous notions about finance, but a person who has earned some money knows what ought to be done with it. “I do not object to war If there is anything to fight for. Young men love war, and, as old Montaign said, they rush to death because it Is sweet to them. The people who have to pay for war do not want to f ght near eo much. I know it is Impossible to change our form of government, and yet I believe we have shown the world that universal suffrage is, as Bismarck says, ’to give the care of tho household to the nursery.’ William Pitt said the greatest danger to England lies in tho tendency to democracy, a tendency that is constantly increasing in that kingdom. “As to Cuba, nobody has mentioned that its population is a combination of ‘dago’ and negro. The Spanish blood mixes beft ter with that of the negro than does Saxon blood. The Spanish mulatto is not like our mulatto—not so apt to die out. But it is a deteriorated race, and not worthy of annexation to the United States.”

CHICAGO LAKE FROM CASES.

Secretary BMm Decides Against

, M. LOFoJlette and Others.

FIVE COMPANIES OF WHEELMEN. Proposed Effort to Organise Them for War Purposes. Wallace Sherwood, chief consul Indiana division, L. A. W., has written General Miles, offering to raise five companies of wheelmen, each company to be composed of fifty men, to be used In special service in the event of a war with Spain. Mr. Sherwood already has several hundred men who are anxious to go to the front. If called upon, he would train his men in a special bicycle drill, so that they could be used as companies in concert, or as courier* and scout*. Mr. Sherwood has offered his men for service either in this country or abroad. There have been many other offers made to the War Department, and in case of war a bicycle army could be organized. Mr. Sherwood would do his recruiting from among the Indiana wheelmen. He is well fitted for such work, and Is personally known to General Miles. During the Apache campaign of 1886 he had charge of a long line of signal stations through the Indian country, in New Mexico and Arizona, and succeeded in maintaining his line of communications throughout the campaign. He has given the present plan of organizing a bicycle corps much study, and believee that it oan be made a valuable aid in case of war. The usefulness of the cyclist soldier has been admitted by all military authorities. Experiments made with troops of bicyclemounted Infantry in this country have shown that an army will not be properly equipped without a corps of wheelmen to act as scouts, to form flying squadrons, and to perform many important duties previously done by cavalry. It is shown that the ordinary bicyclist, with a magazine rifle strapped to his wheel, ready for action instantly, makes a valuable man for quick work in war, while the file of a squad of these cycle soldiers, supplemented by that from rap-id-fire guns, that can be transported on tricycles, is a formidable factor in a fight. The raDifl-flre gun favored is one combining the features of the Maxim and Nordenfeldt weapon. It is capable of being mounted on the rear of a tricycle, between the two wheels, and can be transported with very little additional effort cn the rider's part, as Its weight is light. The rapid-fire gun* would be stationed at Intervals along the line of dismounted

[Special to The Indianapolis News.] Washington, D. C„ April 2.—Harvey M. LaFollette, formerly of Indianapolis, and others Interested In the celebrated McKee scrip lake-front case, ,at Chicago, involving land worth *50,000,000, 1 were knocked out by a decision of Secretary Bliss to-day. The Secretary holds that the land was not subject to entry. In his decision, he makes a sensational arraignment of late Land Commissioner Lamoreux, who prepared the decision favorable to the scrip holders. He says the Lamoreux decision was not written by the commissioner or anybody to the Interior Department, but was prepared outside, and that after he had signed It three days before It was publicly proclaimed, a certified copy was given, to the scrip holders. The decision at the time It was given out was not a matter of public record. o ——

Of m

New York, April 2.—Eugene Ysaye, the famou'" Belgian violinist, announced today that he wns probaxly to become the ieoder of & new permanent orchestra, which will be founded next nutumn to this city, to take the place of SekU’s orchestra. Mr. Ysaye said that under the circumstances he would make his permanent residence In this country. The new organization is to be formed by Slgtsmund Bernstein, it is said, and will give the first concert in this city next October. “I have not yet decided positively to accept this proposition" Mr. Ysaye said, “but it is very nearly settled that I will. I have had a great deal of experience as a conductor, and I would be quite willing to remain to this country tf suitable arrangements could be made I shall also be a soloist with the orchestra. “Just before his death, Mr. Seidl asked me to become the concert-master of the new permanent orchestra which was to be formed for him. I told him that I could not take such a poet unless I were also allowed to conduct occasionally at the concerts. Mr. Seidl sold that could easily be arranged. I was at his house on the night of his death to arrange the final conditions of the engagement. — oTHE WEATHER BULLETIN. United States Weather Bureau, Indianapolis, April 2.
