fflE TALKING IT OVER? Republican Loaders In Conference In Indianapolis. mPOSE OF THE MEETING. Bnvwlng *■ Outline For th* Work of the Session to Begin In January—Pros* poets of an Apportionment Law—Raids by Robbers Near South Bend—General State News. Indianapolis, Nov. 22.—Several recog■itsed Republican leaders of the state, Mid several others who are anxious to be recognized as such, are talking it over at the Denison today—in fact, they began last night. It means the recent •lection. It also means the next session •f the legislature. The meeting of so many members of the next general assembly is alleged in some quarters to be accidental, while in others it is admitted to be for the purpose of conference. One of the most important subjects to be considered (aside of course from indivnal aspirations to become speaker or prominent in committee work, and Which with the aspirants outweighs all other subjects) is the proposition to reapportion the state. The expressions of the crowd indicate that the adoption of a bill reapportioning the state is a foregone conclusion, .arid the talk is as to its character. Public utterances say it must be fair, and it is probable that that .proggramme will be agreed upon. It is certain that the governor will veto such a measure on the ground of nnconstitutionality should it reach him. Then it is to be passed over his veto and must be overturned by the courts if its Sovisions are defeated. If it meets this te the members of this conference think they will be in a good condition for the next campaign. There isn’t much talk of “giving the Democrats a dose of their own medicine” any more, and it is noticed that when one breaks •nt in this strain he does not long hold an audience in the hotel lobby. Other topics receiving consideration in the meeting will be the fee and salary law and a method of making the benevolent institutions non-partisan. Farmer Assaulted by Rebbers. South Bend, Ind., Nov. 22.—Ephriam Brick, a farmer two miles southeast of here, went to his barn after supper to do chores. He was attacked by two robbers and in a hand-to-hand struggle was badly potmded after being shot in the side. His housekeeper undertook to give the alarm, but she was stopped by a third man and cautioned to keep quiet. After taking Mr. Briek’s pocketbook, containing $75 to SIOO, the Robbers escaped. The robbers then visited Elmer Redman, near by, tied Redman to a chair and Mrs. Redman in her bed and robbed the house. Redman and wife remained tied all night, with the doors wide open. They suffered severely from the cold. The burglars then attempted to enter the residence of Mrs. Huff,, but failed; The same gang entered the house of Mrs. Charlotte Rohrer, aged 81. beat her frightfully with a club and left her brother tied to a rockingchair. Change In State Offices. Indianapolis, Nov. 22. —William A. Ketcham and Alexander Hess are now attorney .general and supreme court clerk of tne state, respectively, having yesterday succeeded to the offices. Merrill Moores, chairman of the Republican committee of Marion county, has been named as assistant attorney general. The final report submitted by Green Smith, retiring attorney general, shows that his fees have amounted to over $62,000. Charged With Forgery. Crawfordsville, Ind., Nov. 22.—A warrant has been issued for G. W. Marvin, agent of the Educational Aid association of Chicago. Mr. ’Marvin is charged with having forged a warrant for SIOO, signing to it the name of W. H. Ermentrout, a township trustee of Montgomery county. The accused is well known and popular all over the state, and his friends here declare some mistake has been made. Democratic Justices Appointed. Jeffersonville, Ind., Nov. 22.—The Democratic board of county commissioners yesterday appointed Magistrate Hanse, Keigwin and Ware, Democrats, to succeed themselves. At the recent election five Republican magistrates were elected and they are now waiting for their commissions. Found Dead In a Hayloft. Crawfordsville, Ind., Nov. 2sp-In the hayloft of George Smith at New Market was found yesterday the body of a well dressed stranger, who had been canvassing the town two days for a firm engaged in enlarging pictures, and who had represented himself as living at Indianapolis. e Two Trains Ditched. Brazil, Ind., Nov. 22.—A serious wreck on the C. and E. I. railway was caused by two sections of a freight train colliding with terrific force, ditching and demolishing several cars.

THE NAWS MONEY. Amount and Manner es Its Handling by Treasurer Morgan. RECEIPTS AND EXPENSES. The Former Decreased Nearly •90,000,000 aa Compared With the Tear Before and the letter Nearly *l«,ooo,ooo—lnteresting Showlags — Tail, of White House Home. Docked —Bond Buyers. Washington, Nov. 23.—The treasurer of the United States, Hon. D. N. Morgan, has submitted to Secretary Carlisle the annual report of the operations and condition of the treasury. The net ordinary revenues for the fiscal year ending June 80 (cents omitted) were $297,722,019, a decrease of $88,097,609 as compared with the year before. The net ordinary expenditures were $367,525,279, a decrease of $15,952,674. Including the public debt the total receipts on all accounts were $724,006,538 and the expenditures $698,908,552. The treasurer remarks that the impairment of the gold reserve, rendering necessary the issuing of bonds in February, was caused chiefly by the depletion of the treasury resulting from insufficient revenues. The proceeds of this loan were $58,660,000 in gold coin and certificates, but during the month of February there were redeemed $19,200,000 of notes in gold, presumably to meet subscriptions to the loan, so that the net gold proceeds were about $39,500,000. Prior to July, 1892, the gold reserve Was but little affected by withdrawals of coin, there never having been any considerable demand for the redemption of notes. Even when gold exports were heavy and the metal was furnished by bankers from their vaults or was obtained from the treasury for gold certificates—of course without impairment to the reserve. During the last two years, however, the treasury has been called upon to furnish nearly the whole of the requirements for exportation, and there have recently been considerable withdrawals for other uses. To the end of September last the total redemptions of United States notes in gold since the resumption of specie payments were $181,300,000. and the total redemption of treasury notes in gold from their first issue were $68,500,000. The two important events of the year affecting the condition of the public debt were the issue of SSO 000,000 of 5 per cent bonds to replenish the gold reserve and the stoppage of the purchase of silver bullion by the issue of treasury notes. The amount of new issues of United States paper currency put into circulation during the year was $350,959,190, having been exceeded but once, in 1892. The amount of worn and mutilated notes redeemed was $319,002,290. This also has been exceeded but once, in 1893. The total paper circulation reached its highest point in May last, when it stood at $1,275,000,000. Since then there has been a slight contraction, caused chiefly by the gradual redemption and retirement of gold, certificates, the issue of which was suspended, as the law requires. when the gold reserve of the treasury fell below $100,000,000; DOCKED TAILS. Hone. In the President’s Stable. Wear Short Appendage.. * Washington, Nov. 23.—The tails of all the horses in the president’s stables have been docked. The discovery of the fact has caused some excitement among that class of persons who deprecate such a radical departure from the long tailed fashion that has prevailed among the white house horses since the days of Thomas Jefferson. It has always been regarded as essential to the rule of humanity and dignity that the president should ride behind horses with flowing manes and tails, and the persons who are responsible for the present concession to fashion will no doubt be criticised as severely as were those who proposed to hang Watts’ painting of “Love and Life” in the white house corridor. During President Grant’s second administration the docking of horses’ tails was considered the proper thing among those who set the “court” styles, and a persistent attempt was made to obtain General Grant’s consent to an abbreviation of the tails of his favorite roadster, Cincinnatus, and the other fine horses in his stable. The general, however, regarded the docking as cruel and the long, flowing tail as a thing of beauty, and he refused to be persuaded. The local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals thereupon passed appropriate resolutions commending the president for his humane sentiments. It is intimated that President Cleveland was also opposed to the docking operation that has just taken place, but that he was overruled by those whose desires he is in duty bound to respect. Committee Work. Washington, Nov. 23.—The appropriations committee of the house will soon get to work on the supply bills to be presented to congress. The pensions and fortification subcommittees have held preliminary meetings and arranged for the early appearance of the pension commissioner and General Flagler, chief of the army ordnance bureau. New Treaty With Japan. Washington, Nov. 23.—There is good reason to believe that Secretary Gresham and Minister Kurino yesterday afternoon added the finishing touches to the new treaty between the United States and Japan and that the document now awaits only the ratification of the senate and the Japanese government. Heaitn of -tlra President. Washington, fact that the president has not been at the white house for nearly a week and sees no one at Woodley except cabinet officers, it is stated that beyond the temporary ailment of a sprained ankle he enjoys his usual health. Sugar Bounty Mandamus."— Washington, Nov. 23.—The court of appeals is hearing the case of the Miles Planting and Manufacturing company vs. Secretary Carlisle, in which a man-

damns te asked to oompel the aMratary to appoint inspectors under the sugar bounty clause of the McKinley tariff law. BOND BVYBBB. Floaty «f Offer. For the New Im«o—Wkat New Fork Bankers Will De. Washington, Nov. 28.—The only withdrawal of gcAd yesterday from the subtreasury at New York was $50,000 by Charlee Hathaway & Co., making the total withdrawal since Nov. 18 $4,800,000. There is no longer any doubt that the bids for the new issue of bonds will far exceed the amount to be sold. Indeed, the indications are that the bids already received more than cover the $50,000,000, and that large bids today from New York and other near by cities will raise the total to nearly $75,000,000. According to official figures, the price to be paid next Saturday on the 5 per cent bonds, so as to realize 8 per cent, is 116.008 in addition to the interest reckoned from Nov. 1 to the date of payment. A New York dispatch says subscriptions for an amount greater than the entire issue of $50,000,000 of government s’s will lie made by a number of banks and other financial institutions of that city, including some foreign capital. This was decided yesterday after a number of conferences and it was settled also that the members of this agreement should make their bids separately, but at exactly the same price. Postmasters. Washington, Nov. 23.—W. J. Richardson has been appointed postmaster at Big Springs, Boone county, Irid., and Gideon Roser at Red Bridge, Wabash county, Ind. FITZSIMMONS EXONERATED. Coroner*. Jury Says He Wasn’t Responsible For Riordan's Death. Syracuse, Nov. 23. — The inquest over the body of Cornelius Riordan, the prizefighter who became unconscious while sparring with Bob Fitzsimmons on Friday night last and died a few hours later, was held last night. Many witnesses were examined. The jury, which ■was composed of some of the representative business men of the town, brought in a verdict at 1 o’clock this morning exonerating Fitzsimmons. District Attorney S. J. Shove says that, despite the verdict, he will present the case to the grand jury. GRANGE CONVENTION. National Gathering Adjourn. After a Two Days’ Wrangle, Springfield, His., Nov. 23.—At yesterday’s session of the National Grange the overtures from the National Federation of Labor praying for amalgamation of the five farmers’ organizations were rejected. The committee on dormant granges reported that there were good prospects for the revival-of those in Ala-. bama, Georgia and South Carolina. A proposition to establish a national grange organ was defeated. Resolutions favoring a national commission to arbitrate between labor and capital were adopted. The grange adjourned at midnight after two days’ wrangle over the Lubin resolutions, which asked the government to pay a percentage of the transportation of agricultural staples from American to foreign ports. The grange finally voted down the Lubin resolutions and amendments and it was resolved that the resolutions be submitted to state granges and through them to subordinate granges for their consideration. A legislative committee was elected. BUSY KNIGHTS OF LABOR. They Resolve In Favor of the Flag and Against Gambling In Options. New Orleans, Nov. 23.—Knights of Labor had a busy session yesterday. Resolutions were adopted that each local assembly shall make a maximum scale of wages above the regular scale adopted by the national trades assembly; that all grievances and complaints must come up in the local courts of the assemblies within 60 days; that the legislatures of the various states be memorialized to enact laws providing for the creation of state labor bureaus; that all tradesmen shall affiliate with the organizations of their own trade; that in labor parades no flag except the national colors shall be carried, and that a plank be inserted in the Knights of Labor preamble against gambling in farm products or options. “BUTCH” IS DEPRAVED. Besides Beipg an Infidel He Admit. Shooting Craps With Negroes. Memphis, Nov. 23.—The only testimony of any great degree of interest developed in the trial of the alleged lynchers yesterday was that of “Butch” McCarver, the fnfidel witness, against himself. “Butch” testified that he was a crap-shooter and that he had never hesitated to shoot craps with a negro if he thought there was any money in it. When he left the stand the audience was pretty well satisfied that for total depravity the equal of the sori of the sheriff is hard tq beat. Just as court adjourned a question of the mast vital importance was at issue, the ouest'on of whether or not evidence regaining tne barn burnings which are alleged to have caused the lynching was admissable.

Husband Probably a Murderer. New York, Nov. 23. — Primitiva Foglia, 19 years old, a pretty Italian, the wife of Bernardi Foglia, an ice creamer, was found dead last evening in her rooms. She had a bullet wound in her head which caused her death and the circumstances indicate that she was murdered. Her husband has fled. Elkins Has a Walkover. Wheeling, Nov. 23. —A canvass of Republicans elected to the legislature removes all doubt of the election of S. B. Elkins to the Vnited States senate. Every member from the Second and Fourth congressional districts have declared for him, with over half of those in the Third and First. JHKrklah Admission. LondoWNov. 23. —A Vienna dispatch to The Standard says that advices received there from a Turkish source show that 2,000 Armenians were killed in the recent massacres in Armenia.
