GETTMffIWS’K. Lawmakers at Indianapolis Arranging the Preliminaries. A WOMAN FOB LIBRARIAN. Speakership Contest Will Ha Settled at • Caucus Tomorrow Night—Hltten by a Watchdog—Poisoned From Rating Impure Head Cheese—Old Bridge Condemned —News From Over the State. Indianapolis, Jan. B.— Quito a perceptible change is apparent tn legislative circles. Members are coming in rapidly and tomorrow will see all of them here with the exception of one or two, who are reported sick. Hotel lobbies have put on tut animated appearance, the Denison House, which is the rallying place for the Republicans, being a scene of extreme activity. The speakership contest is of engrossing interest, and a very lively campaign is being carried on by the various candidates. The impression about the capital is that it is Adams against the field, It being the claim of the friends of this candidate that he will have the greater number of votes on the first ballot. The Republican house caucus will bo held tomorrow night, a movement to hold it tonight having failed for the reason that some of the members from the extreme outside counties could not be here. The" speakership contest will be decided then. ; The senate members will hold a caucus tonight to fix committees and arrange preliminaries. The most important matter to be considered will be the fixing of a policy, if possible, for the management of the benevolent institutions, a subject that has called out a great deal of discussion. A joint caucus will be held on Friday night, when the state librarian will be selected. This contest has narrowed down to the women applicants, it is said, and they are all now busy carrying on an animated campaign. The Democratic members will make their headquarters at the Grand hotel during the session, and quite a number of them are already here. As yet they have formulated uo plans for the session and expect to hold a caucus before the opening day. The Jackson day banquet tonight promises to be an important affair. It will be held at Tomlinson hall and Governor Matthews will be master of ceremonies. ELKHART FOOTPADS. Two Assailants Driven Off by the Effective Use of a Cane. Elkhart, Ind., Jan. B.—Two footpads assaulted C. H. Murray, a veteran and prominent citizen of this city, while on his way home at 7 o’clock in the evening. He was on the bridge that crosses the St. Joe river, a lonely spot, when he turned just in time to receive a blow upon the head with a slungshot. Murray fought desperately and drove off his assailant. The second jobber then pointed a revolver at Murray and fired, but the bullet missed its mark. Murray used his cane so effectively that the fel-low-took to his heels and escaped. This is the fifth holdup within the city limit® in the last three weeks. . ■■■i FEE AND SALARY LAW. Held to Be So Mutilated as to Be Unsafe to Follow. Crawfordsville, Ind., Jan. B.—Sheriff Davis of Montgomery county refused to make his January settlement with the commissioners, holding the fee and salary' law to be invalid. Ho was sued on his bond, and filed a demurrer to the complaint. Judge Harney sustained the demurrer. He held that the fee and salary law had been so mutilated by the supreme court that a county officer would be unsafe to use it as a guide for his official acts. Bitten by a Watchdog. Leavenworth, Ind., Jan. B.—Au English mastiff, owned by Hon. John Benz, almost tore the chin and both cheeks off Matt Gibson, who had entered Benz’s store to make a purchase.

HBLISLE WAIB. Democrafic Caucus Endorses the Currency Bill by a Vote of 81 to 59. MAY NOT PASS FINALLY. Party Leader* All Present—Bourke Cockran Object* to Being Bound by Party Caacn*—The IllicoMlon Was Animated •nd the Re»ult Not Altogether Sstl*ibetory—Other Washington New*. Washington, Jan. B.—By a vote of 81 to 59 the Democratic house caucus voted yeßterday to endorse the Carlisle substitute currency 'bill, now before the house. Speaker Crisp took the lead in presenting the resolution and in vigorously urging the necessity of its adoption. The committee on rules was instructed to bring in a rule today to close the debate. Efforts to amend Mr. Crisp’s resolution were voted down, one of the adverse votes showing only 13 members of the caucus favorable to an issue of bonds to retire the greenbacks. The result of the caucus is accepted with considerable apprehension by friends of the bill, notwithstanding the passage of the resolution of endorsement. The 81 votes which the measure commanded in caucus is far short of the number necessary to pass it in the house. It is the belief, however, that mauy of the 59 votes recorded against the resolution will be changed now that the Carlisle bill has the prestige of the caucus endorsement. But there were several prominent leaders who asserted at the close of the caucus that the vote showed conclusively that the bill could not pass. The caucus was called together at 2 o’clock.with Mr. Holman in the chair. All of the party leaders of the house, including SpeaktT Crisp and Messrs. Catchings, Outhwaite, Springer, Wilson, Tracey and Bland and the Democratic members of the banking and currency committee Were on hand. There were 152 members present. Mr. Cockran of New York stated early in the day that if the caucus was to be binding he would not t: ter it and it was understood that otr. rs would pursue the same course. As assurances were given that the caucus would be advisory rather than binding, Mr. Cockrau and his associates concluded to attend. The meeting was an animated one, the discussion being general, and each speaker was limited to five minutes. TRADE WITH GERMANY. Observations by a Special Agent--Axle Grme Sold For l4ird. Washington, Jan. 8. — A special agent of the department of agriculture, who has been making inquiries under the direction of the secretary of agriculture into the general subject of our trade with Germany in live s.tock and meats, has Some observations to offer in a recent report on the necessity of shipping only the best goods abroad, if we are to retain any trade with foreigners. He says the sales of American lard and canned goods in general are increasing constantly. Although the present high prices of meat are largely responsible for the large demand, it can be said that Germany will always be a good market for these products, providing American exporters furnish only the best goods. I am frequently confronted with the question: “What firm do you represent?” And upon explanation often learn that purchasers do not receive the goods they have contracted for. Ido not wish to say that American exporters intentionally send inferior goods abroad, but eommissioners are not as particular and they consider almost anything good enough for the German markets, thereby doing our export trade great injury. Not alone are the food laws very stringent, but local restrictions and sanitary regulations are also very strict and the shipping of inferior goods can only have a tendency to make them more stringent, thus doing permanent damage. I fully understand that prime qualities ot' lard are not sent abroad. They demand a better price at home than the German laboring classes could pay, but it seems sometimes that the most inferior stuff put up and used in America as axle grease i* sold here at thp smaller 'places where sanitary regulations are not strict. In the Senate. Washington, Jan. B.—The senate adjourned shortly after 8 o’clock yesterday as a mark ot respect to the m,emory of Representative Post of Illinois. A speech by Mr. Peffer (Pop., Kan.) in support of a service pension law for the benefit of soldiers and sailors of the late war, and another by Mr. Mitchell (Rep., Ore.) in behalf of the Nicaraguan canal bill, occupied most of the time of the session. Coxey Wants » Hearing. Washington, Jan. B.—General Jacob S. Coxey, leader of the commonweal Movement anil an Unsuccessful candidate for congress, was at the capital yesterday to arrange for hearings before the house ways and menus committee and the senate finance committee td-ad-vocate his noninterest bearing bond scheme. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT. Boiler* of » Steamer Burst Setting Fire to the Vessel. Rio Janeiro, Jan. B.—A terrible accident, resulting in great loss of life has Occurred in the bay here. The boilers of the steamer Port Nichteroy, which had quite a number <rf excursionists on board, exploded and the shock drove the redhot coals in furnaces ip every direction.
