Mr. Healy Assure* the Friaee that Hi* Visit Will Have No Political Effect. Dublin, April 7.—At a mooting of the National League, to-day, Messrs. Healy and O’Brien, members of Parliament, and other prominent Nationalists, denounced the loyalist flunkyism, as shown by the extensive preparations made in this and other cities and towns in Ireland to welcome the Prince and Princess of Wales. In speaking of the profuse decorations which adorn the principal streets in this city, they suggested that the Dublin corporations should close the roads along the proposed royal route. Mr. Healy, who presided at the meeting, said the Prince of Wales was coming ostensibly to B©e the condition of the country.- It would be "better if he visited the huts of evicted families whom the League was supporting, instead of picnicking at the landlords" houses. (Mr. Ilealy) regretted that a gentleman, destined to be the King of Ireland [great uproar and* shouts of “Never!”], should be SO ignorant of the public feeling in Ireland as to visit Dublin Castle and thereby cause Irishmen to attribute to him a desire to prop up Earl Spencer’s scepter, whitewash Dublin Castle, and to connect him l the Prince) with the murder of Joyce and Haynes. Mr. Healy concluded by assuring the Prince that while wishing him a pleasant voyage, his visit would bave no political effect whatever. The city is in gala attire in honor of the arrival, to-morrow, of the Prince and Princess of Wales. The royal party, on their arrival at Holyhead, England, were received by enthusiastic crowds. They immediately embarked on the royal yacht Osborne, which will start at sunrise on Wednesday morning for Kingstown. CENTRAL AMERICAN AFFAIRS. Confirmation of Barrios’s Death:—Departure of .More United Staten Troops. Washington, April 7. — Commander Kane, of the Galena, has telegraphed Secretary Whitney, under date of April 6. as follows: “Tnere is nothing new to report. The Panama Railroad Company is getting the road in order. Tike government troops are anxious about their prisoners. The railroad company and tho government are feeding the troops, but all are in need. There is great anxiety among foreigners at Panama.” Seuor Batres, the minister from Guatemala, has not yet received any information from Guatemala confirming the report of the death of General Barrios. He has received dispatches oca San Salvador, however, confirming the re■>rt. The additional troops for As pin wall took their departure from the Brooklyn navv-yard at noon to day, in a very quiet manner. There were companies of fifty men each, and they were limitr command of Captain Higbee. One hundred and fifty sailors and a battery of six eruns left the Brooklyn navv-yard to-day with the marines in command of Captain McCalla. The troops were conveyed in tucs to tlie steamer Acapulco, of the Pacific Mail line. The failure of tlmbank at Norfolk formed the principal topic of conversation among the officers before their departure this morning, for not a few had money deposited in it. and the prospect of losing their savings caused them to feel a little downhearted. Mexico's Aid Desired. City of Mkxico, April 7.— The President of Salvador is r,' t yet certain of victory, in spite of the death of Barrios, and wants the active aid of Mexico in order to terminate the war as quickly and with as little logs of life a possible. It is the common belief here that Diaz will accede to Salvador's request, and that Congress will grant the necessary authority fora declaration of war. ENGLAND AND RUSSIA. Mr. Gladstone Thinks the Differences Can He Settled by Diplomacy. London. April 7.—Mr. Gladstonestated. in the House of Commons, last night, that he saw no reason why the present difficulties with Russia could not be settled by ordinary diplomatic methods. The government is continuing its preparations for arming fast oceau steamers. Work on the Anchoi lino steamer America, and the Cunard steamer Oregon will be begun to-morrow. These steamers will receive an armament of len gun* each, and each will bave transportation facilities for 1,500 men. Every movement of Russian vessels in all parts of the world is being closely watched, and if war were declared to-morrow a vast tonnage of Russian cargoes now afloat would be liable to capture. It is reported that in view of the complications n Asia, the government inteuds. to dispatch a dlitary commission to Teheran, to renew the >gotiations with Persia which were begun by dsraeli, but dropped by tho present guvern--ent. An article by Profpssor Vambervs stated that n a few years Russia will penetrate to within close proximity of Herat, partly by way of the Caspian sea and partly front the left side of the Oxns, by railway through Merv. In the meantime she is raising among the Turcomans a military force which will equal the renowned native regiments of India. She has already 5.000 Turcoman cavalry, armed with European rifles, and well drilled, under Colonel Lopatinskv. who are in every way ready for an invasion. The Paris correspondent of the London Times claims to have received from various sources intimations that the prospect of a war has aroused the dormant hopes of the many oppressed peoples who comprise Russia’s empire, and who have been subjected to religious persecution. These people would gladly welcome any alltauce which would enable them to reject the tyrannous yoke of Russian rule. Not only in the Caucasus, in Poland and in the Baltic provinces is this spirit manifested, but evon the Cossacks resent the forced assimilation. The Russian government is making active preparations to put the great naval and military station of Cronstadt in a state of complete defense. The harbor has already been protected by the sinking of nuudreds of torpedoes in tho >brp channels. _ Bismarck Asked to Act as Mediator.

A FRUITLESS NEGOTIATION. The Effort to Arrange a Commercial Treaty Affecting the West Indies. London, April 7. —The Foreign Office has published tb e correspondence respecting tho negotiations of Great Britain and the United States /or a commercial treaty to control trade with the British West Indies. The first document is a letter from Lord Granville, the British Foreigh Secretary, to the Hon. Sackville West, British minister at Washington. The letter is dated October 25, 1884. Lord Iranville states that tho British West Indian denies are willing to abolish the duties on >read, biscuits, butter, cheese, flour, lard, lumber, kerosene oil, tneal and oil cake, on condition that the United States should reduce the duty on sugar at least onehalf. Some of the colonies were also willing to abolish the duties on bams, meats, shook* and .staves. Minister West wrote to Lord Grain villa under date of Nov. 20, 1884, that the United States desired a wider basis for the treaty; also, that tho advantages conceded to the United States should not be conceded gratia to any third parties under the favored nation clause. On tho 4th of December Minister Wont for-

warded to Lord Granville Secretary Frelinghuysen’s draft of a counter treaty. This is an elaborate document, in which 150 articles are scheduled, and in which the United States agrees to abolish the duty on sugars under tho grade of 16. In the letter accompanying this draft, Secretary Frelinghnysen insisted upon the exclusion of third partie* as indispensable. He strongly urged the acceptance of the American proposition, and the minister indorsed his views. On Feb. 12, 1885, Lord Granville wrote to Minister West that it was impossible to accept the proposals of the United States. He said they would revolutionize the conventional stipulations which governed the commerce of all nations, would render the favored nation clause a fruitful cause of dispute, and would infringe on international law; Lord Granville minutely criticised the points of the proposed treaty. He expressed his regret that he was compelled io reject it. and his hope that an agreement would bo effected sooner or later. Lord Granville forwarded a copy of this dispatch to the Colonial Office, accompanied by a note, in which he said that the concessions proposed by the United States were more apparent than real, and that the proposals lacked the essential elements of stability.

One of the most remarkable of the ever-vary-ing phenomena associated with the free swing enjoyed in our free country by the numerous class known is furnished by the “unfavorable comments” recently made on the administering of brandy to General Grant. But for the still more remarkable condescension shown by the physicians in explaining that only a very little, indeed, has been given, we should be inclined to regard these “comments” as a cruel and indecent joke directed against temperance people by witlings who respect no situation, however solemn. Considering who General Grant is, and the character of his attending physicians, the sacred duty of preserving life to the utmost limit, and the well-known indispensability of alcohol in just such cases, the impertinence of such criticism is only to be compared to its absurdity. Both are simply stupendous, and render any other comment than that of astonishment superfluous, not to say impossible. 0 Os what did Charles Dudley Warner! On what did Henry Cabot Lodge?

An Opinion About Horace Greeley. New York Letter. This reminds me of a story of Horace Greeley. One of the Tribune editors was riding into the city one morning on the cars, and in front of him sat two old farmers. One of them read attentively a long article that was really a patent medicine advertisement of a then famous Buehu man, and handing his paper to his neighbor, he said: “Read that I’ll be hanged if Horace Greeley can’t write on medicine better than a doctor.” _ The Progress of Cancers.

Mr. Wetzel writes: “Litst night my wife was taken with a very severe cramp in the stomach. I procured a bottle of Mishler’s Herb Bitters from Messrs.

THE JOURNAL-1885 THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL is recognized every where as the leading newspaper of Indiana. No proper expense will bo spared in the future to maintain this undisputed excel, lence and to increase the value and interest of the paper. THE JOURNAL was never so well equipped to serve the public. Our arrangements for the collection of the news of the day ars more complete than ever, and we are adding some special features for 1885 which must enhance tho popularity of the paper. THE JOURNAL is the only paper in Indiana that prints regularly the full reports of the Western Associated Press, which are nog more comprehensive than ever, covering the whole world. These dispatches are supplemented by the work of special correspondents at all the principal cities and towns of the State and of the country at largo We hare a special resident representative at Washington City, who looks after the news of the national capital with Tigi lance, paying particular attention to that which most nearly concerns THK JOURNAL'S constituency. Tho national administration has passed into the control of tha Democratic party, and the fullest and moat reliable intelligence from Washington will be presented in our news columns, free from party bias, impartially, and without restraint The new State administration took charge of affaire with the beginning of the new year. The Democratic Legislature is yet in session. The Journal will pay unusual attention to the daily presentation of such a report of its doings that any citizen of the State may know all that is going on affecting the public interests, accompanied with such comment as may be needed to explain the possible political, social and economic effects of the proposed legislation. Editorially THE JOURNAL is a Republican paper, believing in the principles and general policy of the Republican party; but it recognizes that tho day of blind party organship has passed, and it proposes to be perfectly free to criticise and condemn, but in a spirit and with a purpose for good, having a proper regard, for personal rights and reputations. The citizen, whatever his political faith, can be assured of seeing in the columns of THIS JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation of the news, and in its editorial columns such comment and strictures as will command his respect if they do not meet his approval. It may also be said that THE JOURNAL is published as a FAMILY NEWSPAPER. It recognizes that the women and the children are to be instructed and entertained. They will always find in its columns matter specially prepared for them, while the paper will be so conducted as to prove a welcome visitor in the household. The news will be presented in such shape aa to minimize the evil, and its editorial and local columns will be kept free from moral taint The Railroad News of THE JOURNAL is admittedly the freshest, fullest and most accurate printed by any newspaper in the country. SPECIAL FEATURES. By a special arrangement with the authors, the INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL begins with the new year the publication of a series of original stories from the pens of the most noted writers in the country, such as W. D. Howells, J. T. Trowbridge, E. P. Roe, T. B. Aldrich, Frank R. Stockton, Mrs. Helen Jackson, Sarah Orne Jewett, and others of equal celebrity. Ia order to reach all our readers, these stories will be printed in the Saturday edition of tho Journal The JOURNAL OF MONDAY of each week prints a special report of the sermon of Rev. Dt Talmago, of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, preached the previous day—which sermon is not published in other papers of the State until the following Sunday. This is only one feature showing the excellence of the Journal's arrangements for the prompt publication of news. KATES OP SUBSCRIPTION.
