demanded for political reasons, bat he objects to being placed on a level with blackboards by such charges as) these. Mr. McCracken is very much of a gentleman, and there is no doubt that his denial is honest and true. The question is, will it have any weight with the administration? In the light of experience at Indianapolis it is supposed it will not. SEASONS FOR REMOVALS. The President Will Furnish All Papers that May Be on File. Washington Special. The President has determined to send to the Senate papers on file relating to such removals and appointments as may be indicated by the Senate. In refusing to give his reason for this or that change Mr. Cleveland feels that he has maintained the dignity of his office, and he sees no occasion to deny requests for the papers filed. A distinction is thus drawn which is not at all satisfactory to many of the Democratic senators. It is said that a majority of them were anxious to have the President refuse flatly to send the papers. Doubtless some of them had personal reasons for preferring that certain papers should be kept secret. in reaching his decision, the President acted 5n accordance with the advice of Senator Cockrell and several of the senators of his party, who took the ground that while the Senate had no right to ask for reasons, the production of the papers was but fair and ju3t to the confirming power. The papers, therefore, as the cases are named, will be sent to the Senate, and nobody doubts but that a way will be found to make the contents public property. An Incident of Hayes’s Incumbency. Vfatdiincton Special. Referring to the determination of the President not to give reasons for removals, or to furnish papers bearing upon suspensions, a promident Democratic senator says that a practical illustration of what the appointing power of the President is happened in 1878. President Hayes nominated Mr. Paul Strobach to be postmaster at Montgomery, Ala. It was represented to him by the only Democratic senator from that State that the nomination ought never to have been made, which Mr. Hayes agreed to, but declined to withdraw it, saying that if the reasons were given to the SeDato that body would certainly reject him. It so happened that the Republican senator from Alabama, taking advantage of his colleague's absence, got Strobach confirmed. “It was in the closing hours of a long session,” said the Senator, “and I remember the scene very well. Senator Morgan went to President Hayes, who, with his Cabinet, was in the President's room signing bills, and said: ’Mr. President, through a failure on my part to be here when the Senate went into executive session, Mr. Strobach has been confirmed, but you are not under any obligation to appoint him.’ Mr. Haye3 said that was not so clear to him as it appeared to Senator Morgan, and he thought he was obliged to do so. The Senator insisted that he was right, and could convince him of it if he had time. Mr. Hayes declined to listen. ‘Then,’ said Senator Morgan, ‘my duty in the premises is clear. We have agreed to adjourn at a certain hour to-morrow. I will proceed to the Senate and talk against time until that hour arrives, defeat every pending bill, and, iu conclusion, give my reasons for doing so. Unpatriotic as it may appear to you, I will suroly do as I say.’ Mr. Hayes thought for a moment. and then said if he was not bound to appoint Mr. Strobach, although ho had been confirmed, he would not do so. He did not, and General Buckley was appointed during the recess, subsequently confirmed, and hold the office until a short time ago. “That." said my informant, “is a practical illustration in our day of the celebrated case of Cranch vs. Marbury, decided by the Supreme Court years ago, which, we understand, shapes the attitude of President Cleveland. It is clear to him that the Senate has nothing to do with the appointing power, and that power is held to carry with it the power of removal.”

TAXING DRUMMERS. Supreme Court Decisions and National Laws Which Dave Little Efficacy. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 22.—The decision of tbe Supreme Court, on Monday last, which declared the tax upon commercial travelers levied by the State of Michigan unconstitutional, will have little effect upon the other cities in the Union, in all probability. This is not the first time that this same court has rendered a similar decision, but it has always been the experience of traveling men that they cannot depend upon Su preme Court mandates to secure their rights. The District of Columbia, over which Congress certainly has control, assesses drummers S2OO for the privilege of entering its borders to sell goods by sample, yet in the case of Wright vs. the State of Maryland the United States Supreme Court decided that a State or Territory had no right to levy a tax of this character, as it was a tax upon interstate commerce, which the Constitution provides against. The several bills which are now before Congress to prohibit these taxes can do little more than the decisions if the Supreme Court, and the onerous burdens upon the commerce between the States will never bo removed until the men most interested combine to fight each individual case. This, of course, will take a great deal of money and much time, but it will succeed eventually, if persisted in with energy, and businessmen of the country Who send commercial travelers] need not depend upon Congress to secure them their rights, as Congress is as powerless as the Supreme Court. A law may be enacted, but there is no way in which the States can be compelled to regard it SENATOR PAYNE. The Legislature Having Appointed a Committee, He Is Ready To Be Investigated. Washington, Jan. 22. —Senator Payne tonight mailed a letter to the chairman of the recently appointed investigating committee of the lower house of the Ohio Legislature, of which the following is a copy: “Washington, Jan. 22, ISB6. “Hon. Thomas A. Covgill, Chairman, Columbus, O.: “Sir —As one branch of the General Assembly has appointed a special committee, of which you are the chairman, to investigate the conduct of the Democratic caucus which, in January, 1884, nominated a caud>dato for United States Senator, and as the matter is thus raised to the plane of respectability and placed in charge of intelligent and honorable gentlemen, I propose to give it appropriate attention. For myself, I invite the most thorough and rigid scrutiny. Mv private correspondence and books of accounts will be cheerfully submitted to your inspection, if you desire it I only insist, in case any testimony is given which in the slightest degree inculpates me, I may be afforded an opportunity of appearing before the committee. lam very respectfully, “Your obedient servant, 11. B. Payne.” MINOR MATTERS. A Movement In the Interest of Employes of tho Government Printing Office. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 22,—An effort is on foot to secure the extension of the privileges enjoyed by the employes of tho government to those who are engaged in the Government Printing Office. In every other department clerks and employes are allowed thirty days’ leavo of absence, with pay, each year, and whau they are kept from duty by sickness they are paid their salaries the same as though they were present. In tho Government Printing Office there are some fifteen hundred employes who are paid less wages for the same work than any other of the public servants, and they have uone of these privileges; but if they lose a day from any cause the amount of wages for that day is docked from their monthly stipend. Congress is asked to allow them from fifteen to thirty days' leave, with pay, •ad to make some provision so that when they

nre ill and unable to be at work they will not lose all the salaries to which they would otherwise be entitled. Ex-Senator Ross’s Freaks. Washington Special. Senator Hariison, chairman of the committee on Territories, has received a great number of remonstrances from New Mexico against the confirmation of ex Senator E. G. Rom as Governor of that Territory. His correspondents assert that Ross is a lunatic. In proof of this they show that he regards himself as the representative of Montezuma, and has introduced a number of silly formalities founded on that idea, such as awaking the people of Santa Fo at sunrise to see him inaugurated. In addition, he is charged with removing officers without cause, with issuing fraudulent land scrip and in general demoralizing the affairs of the Territory. Ross used to be a Senator from Kansas, but had sunk very low, and was appointed Governor by Mr. Cleveland out of pity. What Coast Defenses Will Cost. Washington, Jan. 22.—The Secretary of War to-day submitted to the President the report of the fortifications board. It is a long document, and describes fully the necessity and advantage of better coast defenses. It is estimated that it will require about $126,000,000 to establish ’ a good system of defenses. A recommendation is made that an appropriation of $21,000,000 be made at the present session of Congress to secure the necessary plant for beginning the construction of such heavy ordnance as will be required. The board also suggests the establishment of two government foundries, and recommends the construction of torpedo boats for harbor protection. The Limitation Clause of the Pension Act. Washington, Jan. 22.—The House committee on invalid pensions to-dav agreed to report favorably a bill to extend the limitation clause of the arrears of pension act to Jan. 1, 1888. The bill will be favorably reported to the House at the earliest opportunity, with a view of relieving the widows’ pension bill of amendments intended to accomplish the same object, it being the opinion of the committee that the measures should be separately discussed in the House. The committee also discussed a bill to pension all disabled soldiers depending on their manual labor for support, but final action on this question was not taken. The Telephone Sait. Washington, Jan. 22. Solicitor-general Goode to-day received from the Interior Department all the papers bearing on the case of the Bell Telephone Company. He says that he will consider the matter at once, and will probably direct the institution of a suit to test the validity of the Bell patents early next week. He has not yet decided where the suit shall be brought, but is understood to prefer Washington as the most convenient place for the purposes of the government. The Attorney-general declined to take any part in the case, and has placed its entire management in the hands of the Solicitorgeneral. Resignation of Comptroller Cannon. Washington, Jan. 22.—Mr. Cannon, Comptroller of the Currency, tendered his resignation to the President to-day, to take effect on Feb. 1, in order to accept the office of vice-president of the National Bank of the Republic, of New York. It is understood that the President and the Secretary of the Treasury have each personally requested Mr. Cannon to withdraw his resignation, at least until after the adjournment of Congress, and that Mr. Cannon will probably comply with their request if he can make satisfactory arrangements with the bank. General and Personal. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, Jan. 22.—Citizens of Hamilton county, Indiana, have petitioned Congress, through Representative Ward, for a law which will pension all Union soldiers and sailors of the late war. James A. W. Davis was to-day commissioned postmaster at Moberly, Ind., and Michael Deckard at Hobbieville. The postoffice site at Farmers’ Institute, Tippecanoe county, has been removed to the northwest some distance. D, M. Bradbury, of Indianapolis, has been here, with his wife, for several days, attending the meeting of the National Board of Trade. He intends going to New York to-morrow, to remain till the middle of next week. Mrs. Bradbury will remain here, and when Mr. Bradbury returns from New York they will leave at once for Indianapolis. The Postmaster-general has ruled that photographs come under the head of printed matter, and may be sent through the mails at the rate of one cent for two ounces.

A TWELVE-YEAR-OLD BRIDE. She Marries a Widower with Four Children at Command. Brooklyn Union. The marriage of Annie Hawley, a twelve-year-old school girl, to Michael Gordon, a widower with four children, is a topic that is being freely discussed in Greenpoint, where the parties reside. Up to the time of her marriage Annie lived with her parents at 185 Franklin street, and was a pupil in the primary departmen of public school No. 31, in Dupont street On Friday, being absent from school, her teacher made inquiries as to the cause, and learned from a note sent her that Annie was married and could not come to school any more. The child was married to Gordon on Thursday, by a clergyman on Kent street Gordon is a man of about forty years. He is employed as a driver for Thomas Foster, a coal merchant, on Manhattan avenue. His youngest child is about a year old, and his eldest is a boy of sixteen. A lady residing near Annie's home said to a Union reporter yesterday: “About two weeks ago Annie went to live in Gordon’s family for the purpose of taking care of his child and assisting in the household duties. A day or so ago she returned to her father’s house, and he insisted on her marrying Gordon. The ceremony was performed, and in tbe evening they and their friends had a feast. On Friday, when Annie went home with her husband, she cried bitterly, saying that she did not want to go. The idea of a child like her getting married! lam sure she is not over twelve years; I think it is a shame. I understand that an aunt of the girl consulted a clergyman in reference to the marriage with a view to having it annulled. He advised her to take counsel from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Annie’s cousin raised a row when she heard of the marriage. Her father is called ‘lce water Joe.’ Few people would know him by the name of Joseph Hawley.” A lady asked him if it was true that his daugnter was married. He said: “Yes, and I am glad of it. Yqji don’t know the trouble she puts me to. She fS better married than around the street corners.” Sullivan's Latest Challenge. Boston, Jan. 22.—John L.

INDIANA AND ILLINOIS NEWS The Coming Trial of Chambers, and the Expectations of the Defense. Mysterious Disappearance of a Wealthy Farm-er-Sudden Death of an Alleged Relative of Senator Beck—Gleanings, INDIANA. The Coming Trial of Chambers, the Alleged Munou Express Robber. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Bloomington, Jan. 22.—According to the official call of the jndge, the Circuit Court will convene next Monday in special session to try the cases against Chesley Chambers, who is alleged to have committed the express robbery near Smithville. From interviews with both sides there seems little doubt but that the trial will go on as 3oon as a jury can be selected. The first duty necessary will be to issue a special venire, and it is not probable the taking of evidence will begin before Wednesday morning. Judge Pearson will likely ask permission to leave the bench on the trial of this case, and the defense will ask the appointment of Judge Bicknell, of Floyd county, a very able gentleman, once upon the Supreme Court bench. No new evidence of any importance will be introduced, so far as can be learned. The State will offer evidence to prove another forgery, also two witnesses to testify that Chambers was at Mitchel the day before the robbery. The defense claim they will strengthen several material points in their behalf. A personal friend of George Davis, the wounded express messenger, states that his condition will not allow him to appear as a witness; that his mind is gone so far as the recollection of things is concerned, and that he has no command of language, and as an illustration he said Davis went into a store, wanting to buy a collar; when he came to ask for the article, he said: “I want a horse,” doubtless associating horse with collar. The attorneys in tho case will be the same as before. The case will create intense interest among railroad men throughout the couutry and be watched by everybody iu this section of the State. About two weeks’ time will be occupied in trying it Disappearance of a Wealthy Farmer. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Huntingburg, Jan. 22.—One week ago today Kinder Parks, a well-to-do farmer, who lived near Newton Stewart, left home to go to Foswell, a station on the Louisville. Evausville & St Louis railroad, to collect & large sum of money which was due him from a citizen of that place. He collected the money and then went on up the railroad to Boston Station, on the railroad, ana while 'there fell in with some convivial acquaintance, and a spree and general good time wa9 the result Friday morning Parks left Bostou on foot still under the influence of liquor, going in the direction of Riceville. Ho was last seen by a gang of section hands. Alarmed at his prolonged absence. Parks’s family sent messengers to the above places, to ascertain his whereabouts. They learned only the information as above. As the weather was intensely cold and the snow very deep, it was feared he had fallen into a snow-drift and at that moment might be covered up somewhere freezing to death. A general alarm was sounded throughout the country, and the citizens at once organized into searching parties, and for three days the woods and fields of the surrounding country was thoroughly searched by over two hundred men, but not a trace of the missing man could be found. It is now believed Parks has been murdered for the money he was known to have collecfM# at Foswell, and suspicion rests on one or two parties, but no arrests have been mad®.

Noblesville, Jan. 22.— The trial of the co".e against James W.

After a two days’ trial in a justice's court, they, together with the latter’s father, who sold liquor in his son's absence, were

heavily fined, taken to Kokomo, and placed in jail. As they had not even a government license, this is not likely the end The eourt-house at Martinsville had a narrow escape from destruction on Thursday. The sheriff set up a stove and run the pipe into a ventilator, which carried fire into the attic. The attic was badly burned, but the fire was extinguished. James G. May, formerly a school-teacher in New Albany, and many years a resident of Salem, has spent 11,000 days in actual school teaching in the school-house, or thirty-three years, lacking forty-five days.

LABOR TROUBLES. Strike of Cnbnn Cigar-Makers—The Terms on Which the Men Will Arbitrate. New York, Jan. 22.—The Cuban cigar-makors employed by Oltonburg & Cos. and by Jacoby & Cos. to-day went out on strike. The strikers to-night issued an answer to the challenge of the bosses to arbitrate. The men say they will submit to arbitration, providing the old rates prevail pending the arbitration.

The Brotherhood of Locomotive engineers has decided to contribute 70 cents per capita monthly to the support of the men during the strike. The Strike in the Coke Region. Pittsburg, Jan. 22.— N0 disturbance was reported, this morning, at any point in the coke regions. A large mass-meeting of miners, native, Hungarians and colored, was held at Mount Pleasant for the purpose of organizing the Hungarians, who promise to stand by the Americans until the strike is gained. They are all in favor of staying out until the rate which prevailed in 1884 is restored. The speakers denounced the operators and the Pittsburg police in unmeasured terms. John Nugent, an unoffending man, is said to have been brutally assaulted by the officers, and it was decided to raise a fund to prosecute his assailants. The men at the meeting dispersed to meet at 3 o’clock this afternoon. If the police attempt to interfere, as it is announced they will, there will certainly be trouble. Ninety per cent, of the miners in the region are now idle, and it is estimated the strike has already cost over $50,000. While the mass-meeting of strikers at Mount Pleasant was in progress, this afternoon, the police car came up and was stopped a short distance away. Tho miners left the meeting and surrounded the car, threatening to mob the officers. For a time affairs 1 ->oked squally, but through the prompt action of a Catholic priest, who addressed the strikers, a serious riot was averted and the miners dispersed. Since yesterday’s convention, the strike has assumed enormous proportions, and may be said to be the greatest struggle between labor and capital ever known in the coke regions, from the number of men engaged in the strike, the extent of territory covered, and the value of the interests at stake. Over six thousand men are now out, and nearly every works in the Connellsville valley district is idle. To-morrow is pay-day, and trouble is anticipated. The strikers held a mass-meeting to-night, and the Hungarians and Americans fraternized and organized for future work. Similar action has been taken through the whole region. Threatened Strike of Weavers. Philadelphia, Jan. 22.—At a meeting tonight of the hand-loom ingraiu carpet weavers employed at the various carpet mills of the city, it was agreed to go out on a strike at 10 o’clock to-morrow morning, unless their demand for au increase in pay was granted.

A WONDERFUL EXPERIMENT. Medical Students Shown a Beating Heart, Its Change of Form and Position. New York J-peciul. Au experiment was yesterday made at the College of Phygicians and Surgeons which, if seen by Mr. Henry Bergh, would doubtless have filled him with indignation. The object of the experiment was to show to the students a beating heart and allow them au opportunity to study its changes of form and position. There were about 500 students gathered in the amphitheater when tho lecturer, introducing the experiment, began. Or. J. G. Curtis was in the pit, dressed in a black silk gown and surrouuded with instruments. At a signal a vivisection table was wheeled into the room and to it was bound a calf weighing 174 pounds. ’ It was greeted with a round of applause and responded with a polite snore. The animal was under the influence of an anesthetic and no signs of suffering were visible at any time during the operation. The Professor made the first iucisiou along the middle line of the neck, aud soon exposed the windpipe, into which he made an opening and introduced an L-shaped tube. This tube, when firmly tied into the windpipe, was connected, by means of a rubber tube, to a large pair of bellows, with which to maintain artificial respira tion after the chest was opened. By this means it was possible to open the chest and expose its contents, and still keep the heart beating at a nearly normal rate. The Professor made a long incision in the median line, along the whole length of the breast bone, explaining that a slight deviation from the line would involve the injury of large blood-vessels, the bleeding from which would be very difficult to check. The breastbone was exposed, and, with the aid of a large pair of Bcissors, and ropes, and pulleys, the breast wall was opened and pulled apart. This exposed to view the heart and lungs of the animal. The heart was larger than a man’s heart, and received a good deal of rough handling while its mechanism was being explained. Then the pulsations begau to grow more rapid and feeble, until it flickered out its last beat, A VICTIM OF FASHION. Was Miss Bayard’s Death the Result of Wearing Low-Necked Dresses? Washington Letter in New York Graphic. What caused Miss Bayard’s death? Physicians may pronounce it heart disease, but we who have seen her habits know that she was the victim of low-necked dresses. That will not deter any other gay youne girl from following her fate, but none the less should a moral be pointed. On the Wednesday preceding her death she “received” with her mother at the usual reception of the wife of the Cabinet officer. It was a bitterly cold day; the air penetrated tho thickest wrappings. The pleasant parlors of Mrs. Bayard were filled with groups of visitors coming and going incessantly. We shivered in our sealskins near the open fire, for the constantlyopened outer door gave a blast of air fresh from boreal regions. Never was Miss fiayard lovelier or more considerate of others, a fact which was remarked by all visitors. She wore a cream-colored brocade with a glint of ashes of roses, cut square in front, thus exposing the delicate anatomy of throat and lungs to the inclement season. The very night preceding her death she was occupied with a party of friends till midnight She then wore a decollete dress, and stood a long lime in the hall to “welcome the coming or speed the parting guest.” A friend begged her to don a wrap, as she was already suffering from a cold. Accordingly she threw something about her shoulders when the door opened, and threw it off when the door was ciosed. Shortly after she retired, giving directions not to be called till the afternoon of the next day. W hen her sister entered the room at the appointed hour, her spirit had flown. A Remarkable Dinner. New York Letter in rhiladelphia Record. There was a unique dinner given the other evening at Delmonico’s to some fifteen of the Cora Pearls of New York-elegant, lazy, luxurious creatures, who were born to flutter in the golden sunlight, and perish in the ditch. The feast was spread by a gentleman who is identified with our ferries and railroads—the inheritor of millions from a father who never expended a dollar in luxury. Hnnd-painted cards, with the assumed name of each dainty beauty upon them, flanked by exquisite little boutonnieres, were a feature in the tabic adornment, and under each plate was a valuable ring—the stone being selected to correspond with the wearer's particular style of beauty. It was a notable banquet, mark-

ed by a little too much style, an over-scented atmosphere, and luxurious laziness which spoke volumes for the reason why the crop of Cora Pearls never diminishes. Laziness has more ts do with it than passion, and a love of luxury ia another cogent factor in the problem. ADAM TURNED OUT OF PARADISK. Judge Blodgett’s Court Opened by a XeW Janitor for the First Time in Thirty Tears. Chicago Mail. For the first time in thirty years the United States court rooms were opened by anew janitor. For the first time in thirty years anew man built the grate fires, ranged the chairs in order, and placed the pitchers of ict-water on the lawyers’ tables. For the first time in thirty years the venerable and coal-black Adam Carey, who has grown gray in the service, was not wanted. Yesterday he was handed a letter from the Department of Justice in Washington to the marshal for this district, reciting that tho Department of Justice would henceforth pay no janitors of court; that these functionaries must henceforth be classed with all the other employes, be appointed by the custodian of the building, and be paid by the United States Treasury. The smiable old nerro was dazed. He had gone through the round of his duties for so many years and had grown so used to the task that to be relieved of the duty was to take away his most prized privilege. There being no use in remonstrance fie accepted the decree with a heart of lead and went out of the building that had known him so long, and Uncle Sam's employ at the same time. Meanwhile, the familiar, good matured visage of the long-time attache is conspicuous by its absence from the halls of governmental justice. Adam was appointed by Judge Drummond, thirty years ago, and there isn’t a lawyer or lawyer’s clerk in the city who does not know him. The Sultan’s Present to Cox. Minneapolis Tribune.

What has your slave done to earn so much? Take back your gold and ivory, graat prince, and give me something humbler—more conformable to my nature.” “WhAt would’st thou have then, swine?” “Nay, lord of men, that is not for your slave to say. But—did’st thou not give my predecessor aught less costly?” “By the beard of the prophet’s holy ghost! I know not, hound! I did once send the giaour Wallace a gir ” “Even so. great sire—a gir that is. an—as you say. Such little gifts befit small worth like mino more nearly than these lavish doles of ivory and gold.
