THE LASHER MATTER.

Report of the Committee on Foreign Relations—No Farther Action Necessary. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 19.—Mr.

Curtin, chairman of the committee on foreign affairs, reported as a privileged question the following resolutions:

Resolved, That the resolutions referring to the death of Dr. Edward .Lasker, adopted by this house, January 9th last, were Intended as a tribute of respect to the memory of an eminent foreign statesman who had died within the United States, and as an expression of sympathy with the German people,of whom lie hud been an honorable representative.

Resolved, That the house, having noo fficlal concern with the relations between the executive and legislative branches of the German government, does not deem it requisite to Us dignity to criticise the manner of the reception of the resolutions or the circumstances which prevented their reaching their destination, after they bad been communicated through the proper channel to the German government.

The report was read as follows: The resolutions adopted by the house on the 9th of January were intended to express to the German government and people, sympathy for the death of an eminent man who died in this country and who had served his native land as a member of its highest legislative body and as a tribute of respect to his memory. While your committee is of the opinion that said resolutions should have been received and transmitted in the same spirit of cordiality and good will by which they were prompted, it refrains from expressing an opinion as to whether the course pursued in regard to them was or was not in accordance with the proprieties governing the internal regulations of said empire as a matter not within its province. The dignified position assumed by the departments of state merits and will command the confidence of the country, and fully sustains the high character that the department has maintained since the organization of the federal government. As to the resolutions offered the tenth of March your committee is of the opinion that they contain language under the present circumstances superfluous and irrelevent, and not necessary or proper to vindicate the character or dignity of this house. Your committee therefore reports back Baid resolutions with the recommendation that they lie upon the table, and reports resolutions with the recommendation that they be adopted as a substitute therefor.

Mr. Ochiltree then delivered a euJogy on the high abilities and noble character of Lasker, and said the compliment to

Lasker

was a rebuke to the

German chancellor, because they were the antithesis each of the other. The present incident itself showed of what base metal the latter'was moulded. He had ever been the flatterer and sjcophant to royalty, who had never upheld the rights of the people and never lost an opportunity to denounce popular sovereignty. The •proudest boast of this man of blood

and iron was that he had served

the royal family of Prussia a half cen tury. Well might this proud and haughty instrument of despotism seek to shut-out American principles from the hearts of the German people. The principles, absolute imperialism, could not withstand the moral power of American freedom. Mr. Ochiltree then amid some laughter read an extract from a letter written by Lasker some days before his death in which he refers to Ochiltree as having introduced him to the president, members of the cabinet and foreign ministers.

Mr. Belford inquired (ironically) whether it would be in order for a member to offer a resolution presenting the apologies of the house to the German chancellor for having troubled him. The speaker replied it would not. After further debate the resolutions were adopted without division.

The resolutions as reported to the house by the committee on foreign affairs were adopted without division. The house also adopted resolutions cordially reciprocating the wishes of the liberal union of the German parliament for a closer union of the two nations, recognizes its graceful appreciation, its sympathy with those who mourn the death of Lasker, and accepting the resolutions adopted by the liberal union, and directing them to be spread on the journal.

EDUCATIONAL

Strong Points Made Against the Hill In the Senate. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 19.—The bill to aid in ttie establishment and support of public schools came up in the senate to-day. Mr. Sherman said while he would not discuss, he would call attention to some of its provisions. Out of fifteen millions appropriated, over eleven millions would go to southern states and out of the control of the nationall governiiiriit„ it was to be for education, but what sort of education? ideas were to be nut Bhould control in that matter? J'lit eraoy was a great evil, unquestionably, b™t no measure could be more unjust than to give to the south such an enormous amount of money collected for the most part from the tax payers in the northern states. He would not be willing to vote any large amount of money into the hands of those who he feared would not act Justly in the education of the people for whom toe money was Intended, He was not willing to vote to the southern states money from the public treasury for any purpose until we had better evidence than nad been given within the last year or two that money so given would be spent for advantage to the United States, lie was not willing to give suoh money until the southern people were willing to acknowledge the rights conferred by the constitution upon the citizens of the United States. He was notoneof those whowould narrowly limit the functions of the general government, but there was a serious

Yesterday the father of the girl had Dane arrested forgiving Miss Swift a drug for the purpose of suicide. Last night Dane shot himself, dying in a short time. The girl is seriously sick, but may recover. Dane was a school teacher and a correspondent of the New York Graphic.

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.

Governor Crittenden's Opinion Tl»e Mews from Other Points. ST. LOUIS, MO., March 19. —Governor Crittenden has addressed a letter to the chairman of the meeting recently held In Adair county, this state, where the foot and mouth disease Is said to have appeared, in which he advises the people to use prompt and vigorous measures to stamp out the disease. He calls attention to a certain law on the subject and tbinks it sufficient to meet the emergency if properly enforced. He says he will do everything in his power to assist the people in Btaylng the spread of the malady, and desires to be kept informed of the condition of things. In reply to the request of E. H. Crawford, formerly inspector of cattle yards at Brighton, Meaford and irfd

Cambridge, Mass., now a prominent farmer and cattle raiser at Caldwell, this state, who asks for the appointment of a commission with full power to effectively deal with the disease, the governor says he has no authority to create such commission and expressing the belief that the existing law is ample to protect any community if the people will use proper exertion. The opinion seems to be growing both in this state and Kansas that reports of the disease have been exaggerated, and that much, if not all, of the sickness among cattle Is the result of foot rot or frost bite, and not the dreaded foot disease at alL

SPRINGFIELD, 111., March 19.—D. E. Salmon, veterinarian at the department of agriculture, telegraphs from Kinsley, Kansas, that the root and mouth disease at Neosho Falls is not spreading. No contagious disease exist in counties farther west. Dr. Ranch, secretaty of the state board of health, has a report from Xenla, Clay county, III., that twenty head of cattle have recently died on the farm of R. T. Forth, in Wayne county, adding, there is no doubt that the cattle died ol foot and mouth disease. Dr. Paaren, state veterinarian, has gone to investigate.

out at a heavy loss. Undoubtedly a great many dealers derive confidence from the fact that wheat is lower now than it has been at this date for seventeen years, with one exception, and that during the last seventeen years wlieat has sold aboye a dollar a bushel in this market during May every year. We have, however, never before had the experience of 12,000,000 bushels of wheat in store here, and this item will be very likely to make this an exceptional year as regards prices, as well as in other respects. Milmine & Bodman say to-night: "We think that the bear ish feeling is quite general now, and that the market will go down until the short interest becomes very large, after which there will doubtless be a reaction. If the winter wheat crop promises even a fair average on the first of April the market will be likely to touch 85c before May."

On the other hand Phil Armour, who during the past few days has been buying some heavy blockB of long stuff, remarked this afternoon: "Wheat may decline a little farther but from about this figure it is going to $1.00- The shorts headed by Nat Jones are making some desperate efforts to keep the market down in order to cover their lines without bidding the price up themselves, but they are by no means all in yet, and will prove an important element of strength in the near future. There is also more legitimate business in all the leading articles now than there has been for four months past, and all the markets present a more healthy appearance."

The question of exports commands growing attention, although shippers have taken a number of lots lately they declare that cash wheat is still nearly 10c too high to get any attention from Europe. There are also many traders who were bulls early in the year who now think that nothing but a decline of cash wheat, to about 80c, will relieve the elevators ef their bursting condition. It is reported from Great Britian that India and Russian wheat is freely offered, to arrive, there are no bidders and the fact that ocean freights still remain ot a very low figure proves that there is little export demand at our sea board.

Corn in the speculative market is strong. The large shortage in the crop is likely to cause an active market for some time now, and, as there have been heavy rains west and southwest it is probable there will be a falling off in receipts soon. Prominent shorts, however, are gradually covering, which afi

CHICAGO MARKET.

Grain Feverish and Irregular—Yesterday's Prices—A Review of the Provision Market. Special Dispatch to the Express.

CHICAGO, 111., March 19.—The markets on 'change are feverish and irregular, fluctuations being very frequent within a narrow range.

The trade in provisions is smaller both bulls and bears show a disposition to let the market take care of itself, and business is necessarily dull although a somewhat steadier feeling has developed.

Wheat rules clumpy. Latest London advices state that slocks of wheat in the United Kingdom have been reduced 20 per cent, during the pasl four weeks and that choice red is becoming scarce but prices at the seaboard are easier and many holders who have been waiting for an upwaad reaction have apparently become tired of meeting nothing but disappointment and are resolved to get out. These area very deceiving kind of declines that slip along each day, averaging scarcely lower than the one before so that holders are tempted to worry along with their loads from day

Fat Meat for Whalers.

PHILADELPHIA, Penn., March 19.— The heaviest lot of hogs ever slaughtered in New Jersey was slaughtered yesterday at WrightBtown, amid the clamor of a brass band, the salvoB of artillery, and the shouts of a thousand people. The twenty-three hogs, when hung up, averaged 819 pounds, the lightest 660 pounds and the heaviest 1,050 pounds. The owner of the animals, Mr. D. Taylor Deviney, is entitled to the gold medal recently offered for the heaviest pen of hogs in the state. For three months the pigs have not been able to stand on their feet. The pigs have been sold for $9.18 a hundred weight, which would make the pen yield $1,729.23. The animals were eighteen months old. They are destined for a whaling voyage.

The Sixth Ward Sewer. It comes from a Democratic source that the Democratic council never intended to build the Sixth ward sewer. "There is quite a difference from ordering plans and specifications for a sewer and in building it," said a Democratic councilman. It is mission of the Express to announce to the Sixth warders that the blow made about the Sixth ward sewer by the Democrats was all nonsense, at least BO it is said now. The programme is to build the southern sewer—cut across the lower end of the city and over into the Sixth ward. This sewer will cost all the way from $75,000 to $100,000. They saf they propose to start it and build it piece jy piece, as the sewer tax comes in. In other words, this is the manner in which* our Democratic friends crawl out of their predicament,

but friends who have in many ways a community of 'interests with this city. The members of the Board of Trade, who so fully represent the commercial life of the Prairie City, have invited them to assist in inaugurating an enterprise which is to promote the growth and prosperity of TerrS Haute, it is true, but at thp Bame time, the region around us, a hundred miles in diameter, innst be benefitted, for we mnst sell and buy borrow and lend in it. Terre Haute iB the most available and useful agent for the grain and wool growers, the coal diggers,, the lumbermen and the traders who live in this Wabash Valley. It should be, will be the most available and desirable point for the distribution of Supplies to the wholesale and retail buyers in the same district. The prospects of Terre Haute for the future as a manufacturing and trading center. are so brilliant that most naturally all who can supply grain to its mills, wool to its looms, wood to its factories, produce to its markets and coal to its furnaces have a mutual interest in the fulfillment of our hopes.

THE SIGNS OP THE TIMES. Reasonably the quick question comes, Why are the prospects of Terre Haute so much more flattering to-day than five or ten years ago The signs are as easily read as are the promises of coming spring in melting ice,rising streams, swelling buds and the softening soil. At no other period have we seen in Terre Haute such unanimity in the spirit of enterprise, such confidence in our resources and capabilitiec as now. Beneath the surface is the conscious thrill of commercial life and strength which in many forms is manifest. Any one of them might not count, but all together are very strong. There has not a movement commenced this year that has not been a great success. •Let it be an effort to raise the income and increase the powerof the churches, or to puBh a public improvement, or to establish anew bnsiness, the money comes but most significant of all is the quick banding together of several hundred public-apirited men to push things^ by_the_*^bl)lu:, fQr the There is a

saved its present and future inhabitants millions of dollars by its natural drainage and level grades, and yet set it on a hill or high prairie. A tornado sweeping eastward across Illinois seems to divide as it reaches the valley to the west and dodges to the right and left of the city. Disease gives the same wide berth, for the death rate of Terre Haute is lower than any city we know of, save one that is perched among the mountains. ^,1

The Normal school, on land given by the city with a liberal sum of money, educates five hundred teachers, 'ere long to be one thousand. Notice the advantages to a map looking for a home to raise a family—schools, colleges, asylums for the orphan and hospitals for the unfortunate. This is the home for the poor man and the opportunity for the rich. But added to the above is the grant by the government for a building which may cost over $200,000 and by the county for the court house of about $400,000. The Fish Wagon Works, of which more anon, represent $125,000 invested. The Bramble Lock Works represents an industry that may supply its product to dealers throughout the country and extend its valuable patents to Europe. We have to-day 31,000 (Directory census.) In five years this city will pass 40,000. Why Because it is destined to be

The possession of an unlimited supply of coal, which is furnished so cheaply to us that we can't afford to dig 164 feet under our feet, where there is a six-foot vein of coal, is a point in Terre Haute's favor that is worth millions of capital. To be a hub with nine railroads for spokes, two great east and west and one north and south trunk lines, means the rapid and wide distribution of manufactured goodsand the quick, cheap supply of raw materials, which are close at hand. One dollar of capital invested in manufactures in Terre Haute it worth four dollars invested in many other places, or dividends here woula be four times as great as in those other places with the same plant. For example, a celebrated factorv looking for a site was offered $500,000 stock in a city a few hundred miles distant but settles here with $125,000. The difference in coal, in

A GBKAT SB A IN MARKET.

The establishment of Terre Haute Grades in grain and flour by the Board of Trade's system of inspection will enhance the reputation of this city as a market to bay in.

The flour mills of Terre Haute have secured a vast trade. Their machinery has been torn out and replaced by the most modern and improved. Their daily capacity is 2,500 barrels of flour. One miil alone can consume a million bushels of wheat a year, but we have seven fine mills, voracious consumers of grain. Add to these Fairbanks & Duenweg's great distillery, Hudnut's hominy mills, with a territory wide as the country, Newharfs mill and Mayer's extensive brewery and see a group of extensive manufacturers who can use 6,000,000 to 7,000,000 bushels of grain in a year. The increasing number of grain brokers who buy to ship add to this city's drain upon the surrounding region for grain.

THE JOBBING TRADE

of Terre Haute is just great enough to prove that it can be largely increased. The development of certain wellknow houses in the last five years has been rapid and substantial. They have sold goods where any others could sell, as far off as the Rockey mountains or down in* Texas, A barrel of hominy may go to Scotland and a Terre Haute wagon to Galveston. Our own houses compete for our retailers' custom with Chicago and New York successfully, but not one of their liberal, plucky proprietors would refuse to welcome new merchants here, for they can make the whole wide west a ter-' ritory to range in if necessary.

WE ARE RICHER J'

than is admitted and more money has been made here than every one knows. There are many solid men who began their career a generation ago, and there are many more who have grown rich in ten years. A city whose people rent few houses, but live in their own is solid. When fifteen building and loan societies lay aside $15,000 a month to pay for homes the average prosperity is apparent, and poverty is conspicnous by its absence. A city

Its social advantages, schools, library, institutions, churches and society. History of the Board of Trade.

The following is an article prepared by Mr. Oakey, Secretary of the Board of Trade, for Ben Blanchard's What Next:

One of the most striking evidences of the prosperity and spirit of enterprise prevailing in Terre Haute is the new organization, the Terre Haute Board of Trade. When upward of three hundred, including the prominent business and professional men and capitalists, unite in an association to energetically promote the business and social interests of their city, to adver-

tise its advantages to the world, and to Jacob Voorhees.

develop it within, it is safe to believe that their city is alive one. Men are not apt to advertise what they have not got, nor would the average business men contribute six to ten thousand dollars a year to boom a city which haB nothing to boom.

The Terre Haute Board of Trade has been organized with Josephus Collett as president, Robert G. Hervey as vice president, and Chas. M. Warren, as treasurer. The directors are Crawford Fairbanks, the great distiller Demas Deming, banker John G. Shryer, AZ. Foster and H. Hulman, merchants W.L.Kidder, miller F. F. Keith, grain dealer W.E. McLean, attorney, And Geo. M. Allen, editor of the Express. The board fully represents the capital, business and energy of the city.

The association has rented the three story building, 636 Main street the upper floors will be used for the offices and the first floor, handsomely fitted, will be the general exchange, where the daily grain and provision markets will be reported. There will be a daily call of the markets at noon when the millers and grain dealers can meet buvers or sellers as desired, and transactions effected "on 'change," as in Indianapolis or Cincinnati.

The Terre Haute Board starts out with the declaration of the plain' facts that "Terre Haute offers unexcelled advantages as a site for manufactures and commerce it is the center of a rich agricultural and timber region nine railroads center here it is on the Great Block Coal Fields, and good steam coal is delivered at 50 cents per ton. What Next fully endorses this statement as true, and points to it as evidence that the beautiful Prairie City is just the point for manufactories—no matter what kind— if a man wants to make machinery, agricultural implements, wagons, miners' tools, small or large patented articles, boots and shoes and clothing, here he findB coal and fuel, iron and wool, labor and living abundant and cheap, The materials for producing are cheap and the facilities for selling and distributing the products are great.

Yesterday's Meetings.

At the weekly meeting of the board of directors yesterday afternoon, Mr. Collett offered his resignation as president, compelled to do so by the multiplicity of his affairs and frequent absences from the city. It was accepted with a resolution of regret, and the di rectors elected in his place R. G. Hervey, which Vacating the vice-presi-dency, W. L. Kidder was chosen vicepresident and Mr. Collett was appointed to the vacant directorship. The committee on telegraphing reported the action taken upon the introduction of the telegraph into the rooms and the arrangements made for the daily reports of the markets. The by-laws were amended to allow an increase in the number composing standing committees. The mortuary benefit clause, to be added to the by-laws, was called up and referred for completion of details to a committee composed of F. Fairbanks, W. E. McLean and J. G. Shrver, with instruction to prepare two forms of member's certificates, one to include the mortuary benefit on payment of assessments, the other to omit it and require only membership fees of $20 per annum. A number of bills were approved. The time of the weekly directors meeting was fixed at 11 a. m., Wednesday. The board then adjournOde

The adjourned regular meeting of the association convened at eight o'clock last evening, Vice' President Hervey in the chsir. The resignation of Mr. Collett as president was announced the appointment by the directors of Mr. Hervey as his successor, Mr. W. L. Kidder as vice president, and Mr. Jos.

Spl ilSM To-day's Programme. Shortly before 11 o'clock the full military Appolo band, whose services the leader, Prof. Burt, has generously donated, will play a few pieces on the sidewalk in front of the rooms. Col. R. W. Thompson will then from the secretary's office (not the other end of the room as stated) make the inaugural address, after which the president will declare the board opened. Piest. C. 0. Thompson, of the Polytechnic, will make an address, and the secretary will then read the telegraphic market quotations, for which a nuge blackboard has been prepared, and will record any transactions, sales or purchases which may then take place. This will conclude the opening, which is not designed to occupy more than an hour, and the members and their invited friends will tlnti :ir to dinner. A contract h.i31 a made with the elegant nrv Lawes ALee restaurant next door, but as only one hundred can sit down at a time, further arrangements have also been made with the Terre Haute and National hotels and other restaurants to dine guests on tickets issued by the association. These are paid for, as already stated, with voluntary subscription.

Notes.

Ben Bianchard has the first desk in. the rooms. Lawrence Heinl furnishes the window decorations.

Mr. Ben Bianchard will probably to-day close a transaction on the Board of Trade involving $30,000.

Mr. Philip Wiwi is an enterprising grain dealer of Illinois who is ready to back with capital promising enterprises.

Efforts are being made to induce a Springfield, 111., gentleman, who uses large quantities of malleable iron in the manufacture of a "linkchain," to remove here. The Springfield gentleman has been here for several aays and thinks favorably of the scheme. If he comes, the Radne gentleman will come, and thus we will gidn two large manufactories—the malleable iron works and the Link Works.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Chief Keaaedy sad Fear Xea sign Their Positions.

It is not known who the committee will appoint in Mr. Kennedy's place. It is nardiy worth while to appoint anyone, as the city election is-not far off, and it is conceded by all that there will be a grand change, even in the fire committee.

An Express reporter was informed yesterday that Kennedy could continue to fill the position of chief if he so desired that the committee had no objection to bim, only he must not usurp the authority of the board.

At the Rink.

The rink was filled with a delighted audience last night. The Ringgold band furnished the music, and it was such muBic as only the Ringgold gives. The hall was beautifully illuminated with Chinese lanterns. A very comical feature was the nickel race, participated in by fifteen boys. The floor was thronged with skaters during the entire evening.

Electric Light

Mr. A. J. Crawford, president of the United States Electric Light and Pow-. er Company, is absent at Gadsden, and until his return nothing will be done in regard to the electric light. The company hope to have everything in running order at an early date.

The Rink.

A splendid audience assembled at the rink last night to witness the illumination, which was a grand sight, the Nickel race proved to be very laughable. The Ringgold brass band furnished splendid music. The en tertainment was a grand success.

Grounds for the Wagon Works. Parties who have grounds which they propose to submit to the Fish Broe.' Wagon Works Company as a site for a location of the works, must submit their bids immediately. There must be no delay.

THE WELCH AFFAIR CAUSES ALL THE .TROUBLE.

Kennedy Discharges Htm for Drunkenness, and the Fire Committee Reinstate Him.

A breeze was indeed created in the fire department yesterday. When the fire committee and the other Democratic members separated Tuesday night all was not serene. Although they were reticent, morning revealed the whole story. The cause of the trouble grew out of the discharge of William Welch, the driver of reel No. 1. Welch had a friend visiting him, and last Friday he asked Kennedy for leave of absence for several hours, which was granted. Welch placed Wooley, a $20 man, on in his place. He borrowed Kennedy's rig and showed his friend over the city. When he returned Kennedy saw that he had been drinking, or thought he had, and discharged him, and appointed Wooley in his place. He did not report the discharge to the fire committee. Welch went before the committee and complained. The committee held a meeting Tuesday afternoon and resolved that Kennedy was usurping power that belonged exclusively to them. He had power to suspend Welch, lay the matter before the committee, and if the committee should see fit to discharge him, all well and good if not, he must be reinstated: This was explained to Kennedy, but he replied if Welch was reinstate^ he would resign. When the committee adjourned Tuesday night, it was with the determination to reinstate Welch. Yesterday morning he was reinstated. Immediately Kennedy and Firemen Anderson, Gillespie, Coughlin, Commoford and Wooley resigned. The board immediately appointed Fred Conzman, Sandford Pierce and Michael Shay. Kennedy's resignation does not take effect until April 1.

7V Morris, Not Manis. Sheriff Moore, of Anderson, has received a letter from C. D. Cravens, of Prathersville, Mo., asking about Perry Manis, so says an evening paper. Sheriff Cleary has also received a letter asking about one MorriB. The writer had seen Manis' picture in the Police Gazette, under which his names was spelled "Morris," instead of Manis. The writer said he thought he might be a man named Morris who married a girl at Prathersville, lived with her a while, treated her cruelly, and then left her. The picture of Manis in the Police Gazette was a good one, and.iT the Prathersville man couldn't reeop nize Perry from that, he is evidently mistaken in the man.

Gone to Work.

The puddlers in the Wabash mills have returned to work again. They were out on account of the want of coal, caused by the strike in the coal fields.

Shoes and Spring Time. There is no business that so quickly feels the approach of a change in the seasons as the boot and shoe business. This fact was made very apparent to an express reporter a few days since, when he dropped into the Famous shoe store, made famous, in fact, of late, because of its wonderful growth in trade. The day was pleasant and the air balmy, and there were' all the signs that the beautiful spring, of which the poets write, had really come. The store was crowded with customers, and tbe reporter had to wait until a chance opportunity offered to talk with one of the proprietors. From him it was learned that the fact that the house had established a reputation for selling boots and shoes at low prices in a great measure accounted for the rushing trade, but he said that several such pleasant days would be sure to keep all his clerks busy from morning until night. The stock now on hands is the completest ever in the city.

Tragedies Near Nice,

London World. Many and sinister have been the' rumors as to tragedies that have happened on the railway between Nice and Monaco of late years, and I am assured that several such occurrences have been adroitly hushed up by the administration, whose interest it is that as few of these sinister reports as possible should gain credence. The intending, robber, and possible murderer, selects' his victims from among those who are known and successful gamblers, and, under the hypothesis that the traveller carries his winninsrs jwith him bides his time till solum euw nolo in the company of a sleeping man. The rest is' easy to conjecture. There is an authenticated case of an habitue of Monte Cairo who actually paid an English-^ man a large sum to accompany nim, rather than travel alone as far as Marseilles. ..$•

Sorrows of an Gnglishman. New York Sun. An elaborately dressed young Englishman entered the general sessions bnilding in search of the register's office. A gang of prisoners, under guard, was entering part II. of general sessions at that moment, and he fell in behind them. Tbe court officers, supposing that he was a, prisoner, locked him up in the prisoners' pen. He protested, bnt the officers, accustomed to all manner of ruses to secure forfeited liberty, turned th man had been looked up for severa
