vanec, they are now, according to the latest telegrams, close to I’enjdeh. ana it is announced that the English commissioner, Sir Peter humsden. lias fallen baek with his surveying party and taken up temporary quarters behind Herat. ThVrewon assigned for thus leaving the field free to Russian aggression is a wish to save liimsVif and the government he represents from becoming involved in the impending difficulties. But England cannot honorably or safely avoid implication. It a single shot were fired between the Russian and Afghan outposts, the British Foreign Office would be called upon Jo decide at once whether it would defend its arotege, the Ameer, or leave him in the lurch. Kor is it sure that Abdurrahman would not welcome any pretest for abandoning the ally to whom he is indebted for his crown. For, although he has thus far given no overt proof of disloyalty, it is known that Russian emissaries have for tome timobeen active at Cabuknor can Abdurrahman be expected to forgej the generous reception given him, when a refugee, by Gen. Kaufman, at Tashkecd, where the Afghan pretender had a princely revenue assigned to him. When we reeall the straits to which England is reduced by the attempt to cope with an African fanatic, it seems incredible that Russia should let slip the present opportunity of seizing Herat. If Mr. retains office, such an aggres ion on the Czar’s part might, provoke no more serious rejoinder than a feeble protest; and what effective retaliation would l>e within the power of a Conservative Ministry with such an evil legacy as the tSfednn business on its hands’ • THJE WAR IN EGYPT. ISrackenbury Arrives at liirti —Another Cotter from Gordon. London. March A —Lord Wolseley telegraphs from Korti that Brackenbury’s force arrived at Birti on Sunday, on the return march toMerawi.

A Female Portress and Her Elixir Cause a Deep Sensation. Paris. March. 3. —French credulity seem'd to have reached its utmost limit in the witchcraft ase recently cabled to America, but another case, • fed in Paris yesterday, shows deeper depths. . woman called Lombard, formerly a nurse at io Hotel l)ieu, was condemned for swindling :d illegally practicing as a lector. On leaving e hospital she had set up as u universal health . -storer at Menilmontant. f>he did a flourishing trade, curing all the ills that Mesh is heir to, with au elixir resembling the famous hell-brotfi of tho witches in "Macbeth,” composed of the fat of three nine-day-old kittens, rats’ ears and red earthworms, seasoned with brandy and animal manure. Baldness blindness, diabetes, nouralgia. sprains, colic and wounds were all supposed to bo cured bv this elixir, and made Mme. liombardV fame spread far and wide. Nho was regarded almost as a fetish, and had she confined herself to the elixir she might now be rich and respected; but. unfortunately, she undertook to cure u lame engraver bearing the glorious name of N'oy. l.y a treatment that would have killed an elephant.

Where Beatrice Will Live. fteiac Journal. The slab tnent that after her marriage Prince** ih i.irkv is to reside for six months in '*ach year in Germany is pure fiction. The Princess will live with the Queen at Windsor, Osborne, and Balmoral, just she has always been in the habit of doing, and the only change will be that a household will bo appointed for her, and. of

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1885.

PB.OCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. Mr. Sherman Says tho Inauguration Committee Did Not Discriminate, ■ 1 - ■ Tho Senate Makes an Effort to Do Bnsiuess, but the House Devotes a Long Session to Filibustering. THE SENATE. The Inauguration Committee Did Not Slight the House—Conference Reports. Washington, March 3.— Mr. Dawes called up the conference report on the Indian appropriation bill. After a brief debate the Senate refused to recede from its amendments —yeas 4, nays 40. A message from the House announced disagreement with the Senate on the sundry civil bill. The Senate insisted on its amendments, and the Chair appointed as a conference committee Messrs. Allison, Hale and Beck. Mr. Sherman explained that the committe on arrangements appointed by the Senate to take charge of tho inaugural ceremonies had not discriminated against the House in any way, but in the present instance precedents had been somewhat departed from in favor of the House. The matter of the Indian conference report was again taken up. and Mr. Dawes moved that the Senate insist on its remaining amendments. Mr. Manderson moved that the Senate recede as to the amendment extending the time of payment for Indian lands. Mr. Van Wyck satirically said the Senate could not agree to legislative provisions on an appropriation bill, when put on by tho House, but could itself put on such a bill a Pacific Mail subsidy clause when it thought fit. John Roach, Jay Gould and C. P. Huntington had been defeated at the other end of the capital, but had demanded that the Senate should violate its own rnles. Mr. Van Wyck supported Mr. Mnnderson’s motion, blt tho Senate, by a vote of 13 to 33, refused to recede. Mr. Vest hoped tho Senate would agree with tho House provision regarding the Oklahoma matter, and moved that the Senate recede from its amemdment. Tho Senate insisted on its amendment, and tho Uhnir appointed Messrs. Dawes, Plumb and Ransom a committee of conference on the bill. Mr. Allison submitted a conference report on the general pension bill, but no action was taken on it for tho present. Mr. Hale, from the committee on appropriations, submitted the deficiency appropriation bill. Ho said it comprised ninety additional pages, and ought to be considered u soon as possible, in order that it might go back to the House. There were bow but twenty-three hours of the session of the Forty-eighth Congress remaining, and he asked unanimous consent to have this bill at once taken up. Mr. Conger called attention to the river and harbor bill, which, he said, he had yesterday notified tho Senate he would call up to day. Mr. Hale understood that Mr. Conger would antagonize the deficiency bill with a “conjectural” river and harbor bill. He (Mr. Hale) had gravq doubt of the possibility of Congress getting through its necessary business without an extra session, and this added amazingly to that doubt. Tho appropriations committee had done its very best to get the bills bbfore the •Senate, and the Senate must now take the responsibility of the situation from this tirno till noon to-morrow. Mr. Cockrell desired that senators bear in mind the exact responsibility for tlionr action. This bill and the fortification bill were all the appropriations now left The Senate adjourned, and the legislative day of the 3d immediately began. The credentials of Lelami Stanford and J. G. Fastis, senators elect, were laid before the Senate. Mr. Hawley submitted a verbal report of the work done by the special committee to investigate the steel-producing capacity of the United States, stating that the committee had visited several cities and examined many factories and furnaces, and had in type the results of its investigations, but such investigations had hot been completed for want of time. Mr. Morgan moved that the committee be continued during the recess and required to report next December, which was agreed to. Mr. Aldrich submitted a report from the committee on transportation routes to the seaboard, which was ordered printed. Mr. Halo culled up the general deficiency appropriation bill, and its reading was proceeded with. The House provision abolishing tho office of the tenth census was stricken out by the •Senate. Mr. Miller, of New York, offered an amendment appropriatingsloo,ooo to complete tho pedestal of tho statue of Liberty Enlightening the World, to be erected on Bedioe’s island, in New York harbor. Agreed to. Amendments were adopted appropriating SSO, - 030 to continue the Mississippi River Commission ami increasing tho appropriations for compensation of postmasters whose salaries have been readjusted, under the act of 1883, to $278,481—an increase of $137,980, and tho bill was passed. Tho fortifications bill was then taken up. and an amendment adopted appropriating $20,000 for purchase of machine guns. The rommitiee’s amendments wore adopted, and the bill passed. The Senate went into executive session, and when the doors reopened took a recess until 9 o'clock. When the Senate reconvened, the river and harbor bill was taken up. As passed by the House, it appropriated $5,000,000 in gross; as proposed by the Senate committee to be amended, it appropriates $10,000,000. Mr. Conger defended the increase, and Mr. Frye opposed a lump sum bill. Fending debate on tho bill, Mr. Pendleton offered the following resolution, for which he asked iin media to consideration: Resolved, that the thanks of the Senate are due, and are hereby tendered, to Hon. George ¥. Edmunds for the courteous, impartial and able manner in which he lias presided over its deliberations and fulfilled tho duty of President pro tom. The resolution was unanimously agreed to, and discussion of tho river and harbor bill resumed. Mr. Dawes submitted anew conference report on tho Indian appropriation bill. The only remaining point of difference, he said, was the provision relating to the Oklahoma lands, and, on motion of Mr. Vest, the Senate receded from its position and adopted the House provision. Consideration of the river and harbor bill was then resumed. Pending debate the Senate passed tho House bill providing for adoption by American ships of international regulations preventing collisions at sea.

THK HOUSE. A Gong a*d Tiresome Session, the Priuclpal Business Being Filibustering. Washington, March 3.—' There were hardly a dozen members in the hall when the session was resumed this morning. The sundry civil bill had, in tho meantime, come over from the .Senate, heavily loaded with amendments. Mr. Randall asked unanimous consent that this bill bo taken up and the Senate amendments non-concurred In and sent to a conference committed, but objection came from Mr. Hepburn, aud then there was a call of the House, which showed the presence of only forty-five membera Mr. Randall's motion was then renewed and agreed to, aud Messrs. Randall, Forney and Ryan appointed conforeea on the part of the House After various ineffectual attempts to have bills taken up by unanimous consent, and it being plainly impossible to have any public business transacted, the House adjourned until 11 o'clock. When the House reconvened Mr. Vaientine immediately moved to take a recess until 10 o'clock to night, his object being to prevent consideration of .the contested election case of Frederick vs. Wilson, from lowrn. The Republicans refrained from voting and left tho llouso without a quorum. No attempt was made to transact business until Mr. Townshend submitted tho report of the conference committee on the postoffice appropriation bill, announcing continued disagreement. lfe stated that there were several points at difference between the two houses, tho most

important of which was on the Senate amendment relating to ocean mail service. He was opposed to this, because he regarded it in the light of a subsidy proposition, and because it intrusted a dangerous power to the postmastergeneral. Ponding debate, the Speaker laid before the House a communication from G. H. Craig, rep- < resentative from the Fourth Alabama district, staling that he had forwarded to the Governor of that State his resignation, to take effect March 3. Laid on the table. Debate on the ocean mail transportation clause was continued, Mr. Horr speaking strongly in favor of the proposition and appealing to the Homo not to 00 stampeded from accomplishing a good object bv the cry of subsidy. After a long debate the House concurred in the Senate amendment authorizing the Post-master-general to lease premises for third-class postoffices. Mr. Horr moved that the House concur in the Senate amendment relative to ocean mail transportation. Lost —yeas 128, nays 132. The House then insisted on its disagreement to the amendment and a further conference was ordered. Mr. Ellis submitted a conference report on the Indian appropriation bill. The report states agreement on all points in controversy except upon the Senate amendments striking out the clauses paying claims against Indian tribes on account of depredations, and enacting legislation relative to introduction of intoxicating spirits into the Indian Territory. On motion of Mr. Holman the amendment striking out the clause relative to claims agains* Indians was concurred in—lll to 54. The other amendment was disagreed to aud a further conference ordered. Mr. Hancock submitted the conference report on the pension appropriation bill, which was adopted. Tho House recedes from its disagreement to all Senate amendments, and, as Anally agreed to, the bill appropriates $60,000,000. Recess wag tlien taken until 7:30. Upon reconvening, numerous motions to take a recess were made to again prevent consideration of the election cases. The point of no quorum was raised. Mr. Robinson, of New York, mado an appeal “as the last word he would ever say in Washington,’’ asking the House to make a donation, of any amount, to Mrs. Micklehara, granddaughter of Jefferson, and requested unanimous consent for the passage of a bill making an appropriation for that purpose. Mr. Hammond objectedThe deficiency appropriation bill was received from the Senate. The Senate amendments were non-concurred in, and Messrs. Burns, Randall and Long appointed conferees. The time dragged along very slowly, the monotonous voice of the clerk enunciating the names of members being only varied by the members themselves passing lazily between the teller? as the question of no quorum was raised upon various dilatory motions. Tired out from the long session of last night, the representatives took no interest in the proceedings, rarely voting, but loaning back in their chairs, smoking and lingering lead pencils ornamented with pictures of Grover Cleveland, and beariner the legend, “for President 18851889,” which some enthusiastic Cleveland man had distributed in largo quantities throughout the hall. Tho fun of the evening was confined to the ways’,| and moans committee-room, where Representative Blackburn was celebrating his last night in the House bj' treating his particular friends to a musical party, the instrumental portion of which was furnished by a party of Lexington colored men. while the entire company now and then the refrain of somo negro melody and broke into applause as each air was completed. Representatives Curtin, Boland, Robertson aud Money were among the members present, and Postmaster general Hatton and ex Governor Blackburn were among tho distinguished guests. At 12:30 the conference report on the Indian appropriation bill was submitted and agreed to. Mr. Townshend presented the conference report on the poetoflice appropriation bill. Tho report announced continued disagreement, the point of difference still being the clause providing for foreign mail transportation. Mr. Holman made a protest against the Senate amendment aud argued against the principle of subsidies. He appealed to the Democratic side to stand by tho House conferees. Messrs. Horr and Ellis made equally vigorous speeches on the other side of the question. 1:45 a. m.—The prospect at present is that the House will remain iu session some hours. It is the private opiniou of many members that, should the House insist on its disagreement to the Senate amendment in relation to ocean mail transportation, an extra session will be unavoidable. 2:15 a. m. —The House has adopted the conference report on the fortifications appropriation bill. The poatoffiee bill is still under consideration.

Murderous Assault by Anarchists.' Pittsburg, March 3. — The Anarchists held a meeting in Allegheny City, last night, which broke up in a riot and the police were called in to suppress the disorder.

Washington is a city of toadies, and the majority of its citizens trim their sails to go with the party in power. Honor, gratitude and common decency are thrown to the winds in regard to the treatment of those who fail, and there is everything to be offered and given to thovse who win. The town is now almost altogether for Cleveland, and the clerks in the departments are to a large extent hedging toward him. One of the most significant instances is the case of Major Clark, the Pension Commissioner, who for the past eighteen years has sucked and drawn hard upon the Republican teat, and' who is now denouncing ex-Commissioner Dudley and trying to pander to Cleveland. Colonel Dudley has been greatly traduced in regard to the Pension Office. He was a most efficient Commissioner and the stories as to his using his clerks as party agenta at government expense are lies. An examination of the office books shows that he has done more business comparatively than any Pension Commissioner of the past. He certainly is not the man to tolerate insolence from a toady like Clark, and Clark is hardly the man to act so to a man who is his superior in office. The sympathy hero is altogether with Dudley and the general opinion is that Major Clark hopes to retain his office by denouncing Dudley.

A Religion of Hopefulness. Mr. Beecher's Sunday Sermon- “ Men who work under the inspiration of care and fear are like oxen. They walk over the ground laboriously, measuring every rise and descent in their path. But the man who has hope has wings like an eagle. There is neither up-hill nor down-hili to him, for hope plus conscience is the foundation on which character is built; but men should not build on conscience alone. Conscience is like granite. It is admirable, but not lovable. Crystalline, cold oonseienee does r.ot win. There is a piety that is an eternal mourning. Men who possess it are forever putting on crape because Christ died. They are dolorous Christians, always regaling themsolves with their shortcomings. They think they have hope, but it is not such hope as mine. The air around them is full of the devil, and they see Satan tempting on all sides. “Asa style of piety, this is miserable. Religion ought to be radiant. Wit and humor are more piou3 than this dreary sobriety. When I used to see thoso old-time dignified ministers, those spiritual scare crows, it seemed to me that were if not for fear of hell I should never want to go to heaven. ” The Soldiers* Love for Grant.

Years roll by, new friendships are formed and forgotten, strong attachments made and broken, old loves cast aside for later fancies, yet the love and veneration for tho old commander remains strong and unshaken forever.
