Indianapolis, April 25.—Theeonvention opened w ith a republican roar this morning that could be heard all over the city. Never was such enthusiasm seen in this city, and there are ten thousand people around the hall trying to gain ad mission. Col. Richard Thompson, the grand old man, opened the con vtntion with a speech, and was fol lowed by ex-Presulent Harrison in a talk that created great applause. Four ballots for secretary of state were taken as follows : First ballot—Owen, 417 4 5; Watson, 391 5-5: Packard, 211; Jones 362 4-5; Sulser, 320 4 5. Second ballot—Owen led Watson 54 votes. Third ballot—Owen, 570; Watson, 494; Jones, 359 ; Sulzer, 200; Pack91. Sulzer and Jones withdraw. On fourth ballot Owen was nomi

nated.

The balloting islongund tedious, and further returns are not obtainable at 3:30 o’clock.

I.atest News.

Washington, April 24, 1894 The free traders in the senate have become so discouraged tweause of the revolt in their own party, the broadside poured into them by the republicans during the general debate on the tariff bill, which closes today, and the unmistakable trend of public sentiment against the present bill, that they have opened negotiat ons with the revolting democratic senators, which, it is believed. will end in their complete and abject surrender. Republicans have not, J course, been made acquainted with the exact nature of these negotiations, but enough has leaked out to cause many to believe that the income lax is to be dropped and the present tariff bill practically abandoned, something like the olff Mills bill being sub-

stituted therefor.

The impression left by the represeiita'ives of the National Workingmen’s Protective Tariff League—more than 1000 in number—who met in conven- , ion here Saturday, has been decidedly good. The democrats of the senate finance committee refused to hear Iheir personal protests against the tariff'bill, but they were compelled to bear them read on the floor of the senate by Senator Quay, and the members of the league occupied the galleries of the senate as pleased listeners. These men and women did not come here to attempt to coerce congress by threatening to remain in Washington until some absurd demands were complied with, as Coxey's army proposes to do, but merely in the exercise of their rights as American citizens to protest against being deprived of their bread and butter by vicious legislation; am’ having tiled their protest they quietly returned to their homes. They neither walked nor came on free railroad transportution, but on tickets purchased with the money of the laborers they came to represent. Nor did they ask donations for food; they paid for everything they got, as self-respecting people usually do. Washington people will be glad to see them again under

happier circumstances.

There tire tunes when nothing but plain talk will fill the bill, and Senator Hawley thought one of these times was at hand when he replied to the extraordinary speech of Senator Allen, of Nebraska, in favor of the Peffer resolution, which provides for the formation of a new senate committee to hear the petitions of Coxey’s army and similar organizations. Senator Hawley paid particular attention t<> Mr. Allen’s denunciation of the laws which prohibit parades in Washington without permission of the authorities, and the marching of any organized body of men across any portion of the capitol grounds, law- which Mr. Hawley declared to be tight and proper and said would be enforced to the letter. But the most striking part of Mr. Hawley’s speech was the conclusion in these words, calmly and deliberately uttered : “I am sorry to say, but I feel bound to say, that the speech of the senator from Nebraska was one that would have been received with tumultous applause in a meeting of anarchists. It had in it, not requiring a microscope, but visible to the naked eye, ihe bacteria and bacilia of anarchy.” Rough, but de-

served.

The populists in congress, while pretending to be opposed to tin* absurd idea wtiieh is causing so many ill-ad-vised men lo move towards Washington, are in reality doing everything in their power toencourage the movement. Representative Been, of Minnesota, has introduced it resolution in the house directing the secretary of war to furnish camping grounds ami tents for ail organized bodies of “laboring people” I who may come to Washington to obtain •‘redress from congress.” The adoption of a resolution like that would invite eve y tramp in Ihe country to spend the summer encamped in the! suburbs of Washington, and what the I

Why She Will Deny II. Why the average girl will deny her engagement nearly up to the J day of the wedding is one of the most inscrutable puzzles we all have to give up. Of course the man in the ease has to abide by his captor’s ultimatum and affirm or deny as she bids him, but women are not handicapped in this way and their reticence is intensely aggravating to the curious public. The trosseau maj- be made, the cake ordered, the presents received, the bride's trunk purchased and the minister secured, hut she persists in declaring that she is not going to be married, and the dear girl gets real mad when cornered on the subject. She swears she is actually obliged to stay in the house, and if she marries aU all it will be simply because the public forces her to do so in self defense. Of course this is very sad, and the sympathizing person who has been used as an escape valve for her grief and anger goes sadR* away wondering, merely wondering, why girls will monkey with the truth in

this manner.

The democrats of the house profess to be greatly surprised Itecause tiie republicans are making the regular appropriution hills the basis of showing up the absurd blunders of this blundering administra'ion, and they are actually talking of having the committee on rules bring in a rule with each appropriation hill to limit debate thereon.
