GOOD NEWS FOE NOMINEES. Prospects that the Senatorial Blockade on laminations Will Be Lifted, And that Some of Indiana’s Anxious Nominees Will Be Confirmed—Letting the Administration Down as Softlj as Possible. RAISING THE BLOCKADE. The Senate and the President Finally Reach an Agreement as to Nominations* Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington April 15.—A good deal of comment was made to-day in Republican circles rjpon the actiou of the Senate committee on finance in relation to nominations of collectors of internal revenue, as disclosed io a resolution made public by the Senate in executive session, yesterday afternoon. That resolutio uncovers a complete backdown by the administ 'ton from the position it some time ago assume n refusing information bearing upon remove’ ~ or suspensions of the Republican office-holders. It declares “That the letters of the Secretary of the Treasury to the committee on finance, dated March 16, 1886, and subsequently, in relation V suspension of collectors of internal revenue, Should be received and held as honest declarations, made in good faith; that there are no eharges or papers on file in the department reflecting in any manner against their moral or official conduct or character.” This resolution was supported by every Democratic as well as every Republican member of the committee ou finance, and it was understood at the time of its adoption that it would be very satisfactory to the administration. Indeed, the Democrats supported it, showing it was desired by the administration, and realizing that it was a gentle way of “letting down” the administration and acknowledging, as it so firmly, at first, tefused to do, that these Republican internal fevenue collectors were suspended or removed upon purely political grounds. This completely lifts the blockade, and probably indicates the eourse whieh Republican Senators propose to take in future in regard to nominations to fill vacancies made by removals or suspensions upon political grounds, viz.: where charges are not preferred against the nominee, confirmation will be made. This new and unexpected turn of affairs opens’up a way for Collectors Hunter and Henderson, of the Lawrenceburg and Kokomo districts, and will probably lead to their early confirmation. It is not likely that there will be any more delays over a certain class of nominations that will come before the Senate, When the President makes a nomination to fill a vacancy created by suspension, and the term of the suspended officer expires before the Senate acts opon the nomination, and the President withdraws it and renominates the nominee “to fill a vacancy made by expiration of term,” the Senate will treat the renomination as if it was an original one to fill a vacancy made by an expired term, and the matter of suspension will not enter the case. In other words, it will then become a simple question of the fitness of the man appointed. The withdrawal of a name for the purpose of making a renomination withdraws whatever charges there may have been filed, and leaves the case without political prejudice. This applies to all reuomiuations which have been made, and will be good news to a large number of Indiana and Ohio postmasters, as it will obviate all trouble and insure their confirmation.

MINISTER HANNA. He If on Hh Way Home, and Will Shortly Be Seen Again in Indiana. Washington Special. Bayless W. Hanna, the new minister to the Argentine Republic, is coming home. He has secured accommodations on the Advance, of the Brazilian line, now just leaving for South America, and will be back on the beloved soil of Indiana in the course of forty days. It seems to be well understood that Mr. Hanna will never return to bis diplomatic duties, although a rumor to the effect that the Argentine Republic has asked for bis recall is denied at the State Department. So far as can be learned, Judge Hanna is as tired of Argentine as Argentine is of him. His ways are not the ways of Argentine people, and there has been a good deal of unpleasantness engendered during his few months’ stay at Buenos Ayres. When Judge Hanna left this country his son remained behind, having a place in one of the departments here. Tonag Hanna married, than fell sick, and was taken to one of the hospitals here. When he was able to get out he took passage on a sailing vessel and started for South America to join the family. The probabilities are that he will not arrive until dfter their departure for the United States. It will be remembered that the Indiana delegation had a very trying time with Judge Hanna last summer. The appointment of minister to Persia was obtained for him, but, after learning where Persia was, he would not go there. Then, after much begging, he obtained his present position, only to realize in a few short months that he was totally unfitted by nature and habits to be a diulomate. The people of Buenos Ayres are very punctilious, observing the most rigid requirements of Bpanish etiquette. Mr. Hanna has done nothing to make himself popular with the powers that be, and has apparently taken pleasure in Sgnoripg the ordinary conventionalities of life, or else in trampling on what is considered the forms of necessary politeness between ladies and gentlemen in the Argentine Republic. Mr. Hanna's letter to a frieud in Indiana, which was published last summer, was the first cause of dissatisfaction. This was translated and printed in the papers of the republic, and seated a feeling against the minister which he has not been enough of adiplomate to overcome. His business ventures in the republic, and his invitation to Indiana financiers to come down there and reap a harvest of dollars, have outraged the polite officials, and have made the request for his recall a very urgent one. It is the customary form to at once comply with such a request. It is rare that a government asks to have a foreign minister accredited to it recalled. This means of getting rid of an obnoxious minister is used only in extreme cases. The last minister which this government asked to have C called was the Russian Minister Catacazy.who •came involved In such a scandal during Hamilton Fish's time. INDIANA DEMOCRATS. Office-Holders Taking a Very Active Part in Politics. Washington Special to Mew York Herald. Why should it have been left for a Republican Senator (Mr. Harrison) to expose in the Senate the fact that nearly all the Democratic State •fficers of Indiana had urged and obtained the appointment of a man to an important office so unfit that his appointment was no sooner known but his neighbors, Democrats and Renublieans alike, loudly protested against it, and it had to be cancelled? If his application for office had been public, instead of being kept secret, the people would have kept the President from making an appointment which undoubtedly mortified him. The following letter, published in an Indiana paper, by the way, seems to show that the Democratic office- holders in the Twelfth Indiana district are more actively engaged in politics than the President would like. The writer of the letter, it seems, desired tbs nomination to Coo /press, but found that the sitting member had the office-holders so industriously working for tim that, as the writer ssys, nobody else had a ikance: ‘•To th* Voter* of tb Twelfth District: “When I entered the congressional racs I did so is good faith, and intended to remain a can-

didate to the close of the Democratic convention, provided, “First—That the people were left to manage their caucuses void of corruption. “Second—That the office-holders would observe the civil-service regulations laid down by the administration. But I had firmly resolved that if the newly appointed office-holders were to unite throughout the district, forming a machine for the renomination of Mr. Lowry, or if corrupt influences were to be adopted, that i would not remain a candidate, neither would I support the nominee of a convention so constituted. This is why I have thus far been silent on the question of nomination. “I have remained a candidate long enough to learn that the Democratic victory of 1884 was not a victory of the Democratic party or its principles, but a victory for spoilsmen, who have resolved themselves in this district iuto a machine for the support of Mr. Lowry, thus constituting a Lowry party. Postmaster Kaongh instead of employing his time attending to the duties of his office is looking after the interest of his political master; but, not satisfied in doing this in his own county, must go over into Whitley county to assist Postmaster Brown, while both are assisted by two newly appointed mail agenta. "These federal office-holders, with most of the postmasters in their district, managed aud manipulated by Mr. Cope, take the various counties in detail, and as the primaries take ol&ce in each at a different time, they are able to put their paid army in the field, each soldier of which is made to understand that he is working fer his oread and butter. I have some warm friends in the various townships and in this city who would be willing to contest, even against such odds; but the struggle is too unequal and the power of corruption too great for me to allow my friends to fight such a combination; hence I will not be a candidate for the nomination. But I warn Kaough and Brown that my withdrawal does not< end the fight It is a notice to them to clear the deck and prepare for battle, as I will hereafter assist any respectable portion of my fellow-citi-zens who desire to take an active part in defeating the office-holders’ combination. “P, S. O’Roctrkk.” It is a healthful sign that Democrats have the courage to protest publicly against the use and subordination of office-holders by members of Congress, who have got the President to appoint these, to secure their renomination. One of the most important results to be hoped for from a real civil-service reform is that it will break up the machinery by Senators and Representatives force their own renomination upon their party, often against its will, and when the party would prefer other and perhaps better men. _ MINOR MATTERS. The Evidence In the Hawkins Case All In, and the Decision Expected Shortly. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, April 15.—1 t is stated to-night that the sub committee of the Senate committee on the judiciary has completed" its work of examing witnesses in regard to the oharges against United States Marsbal Hawkins, of Indiana, and that, as soon as the testimony can be written out from the stenographer’s notes, it will be submitted to the fullcommittee. A decision is, therefore, probable by the first of next week. Nothing can be ascertained as to what the subcommitteemen think of the case. Senator Weir, it is learned beyond doubt, did not prefer the charges, and had nothing to do with bringing about the investigation. It was the work of Abram Lomax, of LaPorte. Van Benthuysen’s Ears. Washington, April 15. —The examination of Mr. Van Benthuysea was continued before the telephone investigating committee ffl-day. Mr. Ranney questioned the witness as to the withdrawal of his application, and he said the object of his visit to the Attorney-general was simply for the purpose of asking him to act upon the recommendation of some district attorney that suit be brought without referring it to the Interior Department. Mr. Byerson had made the request, but the Attorney-general had refused to have anything to do with it. The witness denied that anybody uttered “Panelectric” to the Attorney-general on the occasion of that visit. The witness had often expressed wonder at the very positive mistake made by Mr. * Garland when he stated in his letters that he had been approached by somebodp. connected with’ the Pan eleetrio. Nobody connected with the Pan-electric, except Mr. Young, had accompanied him (witness) to the Department of Justice, and not a word had been said about the Pan-electric. The committee, at this point, had a long discussion over the New Orleans record, during the continuance of which the witness interjected the remark that, as representative of the New Orleans committee, he should say that it was none of the committee’s business. “It is astonishing how he can hear some things,” sarcastically said Mr. Ilanback. referring to the deafness of witness. "He has the most accommodating set of ears I ever saw.”

Washington, April 15.—1n executive session of the Senate, to-day, the Venezuelan treaty was taken up, read and ratified without debate. It provides for tbe reopening of claims of citizens of the United States against the government of Venezuela. There is to be a commission of three, one to be appointed by each government, and the third to be selected by those two. If these cannot agree, the Russian or Swiss minister is to name a commissioner to take the place of the one selected by the two first named. The commission is to meet within three months, in Washington, and its decision is to be final. Miscellaneous Notes. Bpeci&l to the lndianaDolis Journal. Washington, April 15.—Orders for over 30,000 copies of Senator Harrison’s speech on the administration’s alleged civil-service reform have already been made by Senators, Representatives and others, and the good effeols of it are shown to be very wide. Seth Whitten, of Union City, who eame here several months ago and opened a pension agency, became very ill aud almost died from nervous prostration, is out again, but is very weak. The Secretary of the Treasury has recommended Congress to appropriate $6,860 to purchase additional ground for a quartermaster’s denot at Jeffersonville, and $7,000 for improvements. It is reported that Col. Hughes East will probably be appointed Secretary of Utah Territory. Col. Thos. H. Huger, Eighteenth Infantry, whose nomination as brigadier general is pending before the Senate, hAB been placed in the command of the department, of the Missouri, relieving Brigadier-general Miles. The Postmaster-general to-day issued an order directing the postmaster at Quincy, 111., to withhold payment of money orders to the Nature’s Incubator Company, doing business at that place, and the United States attorney has caused the arrest of Harvey S. Waldo, the originator of the scheme, on a charge of using the mails to defraud. Speaker Carlisle to-day appointed the following committee to investigate the censes and extent of the labor troubles in the West: Messrs. Cartin of Pennsylvania, Crain of Texas, Outhwaite of Ohio. Parker of New York, and Buchanan of New Jersey.

TUB XNTDIANTAPOLIB JOURNAL, FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1886.

THE FOETY-NINTH CONGEESS Senator Logan Argnes in Favor of Abolishing the Executive Sessions. The House Transacts Considerable Routine Business and Devotes a Portion of Its Time to the River and Harbor Bill. THE SENATE. Senator Logan Argnes in Favor of Abolishing Executive Sessions. Washington, April 15.—Mr. Logan took the floor in support of the movement for open executive sessions He preferred his own resolution, he said, because it provided broadly for open sessions on all matters of nomination and confirmation. Without going into the history of secret sessiops, M r - Logan would simply premise by saying that there was not now and never was any necessity for secret sessions of the Senate. Senators were responsible to the people, and should let the people know what they were doing. Mr. Logan hoped the Senators who favored secret sessions would be heard from in this debate. The talking should not be all ou one side in the discussion. Those who believed in secret sessions should openly state their grounds for that belief. He [Mr. Logan] would like to hear those grounds. Let tbe doors be opened and let “Senatorial courtesy” give place to fair and open consideration. The traducer of character aud the condouer of bad records would both go down before the open consideration of nominations. The treacherous stiletto would give place to open and manly warfare; the man who, with a crooked record, wanted public office, would then have to seek other channels than the Senate. In a people’s government, why should not the people know the reasons for our consent, which meant the people’s consent, to a nomination 1 ? Secret sessions were demoralizing. Was there a Senator who would not frankly tell a man the truth if he was opposed to him? He [Mr. Logan] would not say that Senators had told untruths. The secrets of executive sessions were let out in some way—he would not say how correctly. Was there ever an executive session to consider an important matter from which something had not leaked oat! He acquitted the officers of the Senate of any fault in this matter. He did not believe they let the secrets out Still, the newsEapers were foil of statements of things that appened, or were said to happen, in executive sessions. If they did not make correct statements, they proposed to do so. If the Senate would not open its doors, was it not encouraging deception on the part of newspapers! Was it not better to have the country know exactly what the Senate was doing. The newspaper men did the best they could. They got the "secrets’’ from somebody—Mr. Logan did not know from whom—probably from the spittoons or tbe desks of tbe Senate chamber—of course not from any Senator. Were not Senators encouraging newspaper men to state tbines that were not true? The Senate was not direcly responsible for any incorrect statements as to secret sessions. If the doors were open, the speeches in executive sessions would be shorter, ihe proceedings more orderly; and tbe debates better and of a more elevated character. As to the publicity of votes, Mr. Logan was perfectly willing that his constituents and everybody else should know how he voted in executive session, and if he dared he would tell everyday what his vote was, but he never did. The power of public opinion was rising on this subject, he said; the people felt they must and should know wnat Senators were doing. Everywhere in this country the principle of growth was recognized except in the United States Senate. That principle was coming to be recognized everywhere throughout the world. The principle of libery was spreading. Take the case of Ireland —so long downtrodden ancl trampled undfir foot wby was it that the grandest statesman that England had produced was struggling in behalf of long-suffer ing Ireland? It was because of the growth of the principte of liberty—of the principle of fair dealing. Education aud reflection were lighting up the minds of all people in this country, too; the people were getting more enlightened and advanced views of their rights. Wo should bear in mind that there were but two ways of righting wrongs. Those ways were reformation aud revolution. He [Mr. Logan] preferred reformation. Let Senators have done with childishness, and put on the garb of men. It seemed to bring great joy to some Senators’ souls to see the galleries cleared aud the people turned oat, as if gome great mysterious thing was to be done in the Senate when the doors were closed; as if the Senate was in some way to become a magician aud turn sticks into snakes, or do some equally incomprehensible thing. The whole thing was an absolute farce; there was nothing that occurred in executive session that could not, with perfect propriety, occur in open session—not one thing. Secret sessions gave some Senators opportunities to talk one way in secret and another in open Senate. Mr. Hoar said that hardly any proceedings were of more importance or public interest than th 9 proceedings of the committee on ways and means of the House of Representatives, or the finance committee of the Senate, and especially important were the proceedings of conference committees on questions of revenue. Mr. Hoar asked Mr. Logan whether he would have the proceedings of such committees open to the public. Mr. Logan had known the astuteness of the Senator from Massachusetts [Mr. Hoar] iu attempts to throw people off the track in debate, whenever the proposition made did not exactly agree with his notion; but tbe Senate was not discussing the question of open committee meetings. The people were not demanding open committee meetings; but they were demanding open doors for the proceedings of the Senate. "And the doors will be opened,” Mr. Logan f pointedly remarked, "mark what I tell you; and t will not be long, either. You gentlemen revel in the dark for awhile over nominations. It seemed toch&rm Senators,”Mr. Logan continued, "to have some knowledge that they would not give to the people. It seemed to please them when asked by a citizen how they voted on the confirmation of a village postmaster to be able to reply with an air of mystery, ‘Oh, I—l—l—l cannot tell yon; lam bound to secrecy.’ ” What an important matter it was bow any Senator voted on such a matter. This reform, Mr. Logan continued, was growing. The people of this country would run the country. All forms of oppression would have to cease, including that which prevented men from expressing their wills at the polls. Mr. Logan alluded to the English House of Lords, and advised the Senate to pattern no longer after that body—a body of hereditary privileges and powers. He advised Senators to stop their star-chamber proceedings. "Let not the representatives of the people,” he said, “imagine that they are higher or better than the people, or that they had any secrets of state that could not or should not be imparted to the people.” Mr. Platt said he would have asked for a vote on his resolution now, but that he understood some other Senators wished to be heard ou it He would, however, ask the Senate to vote on it as early as possible. Mr. Riddleberger, in withdrawing the substitute offered by him for the open executive sessions resolution, said he bad offered *t in the belief that a two-thirds vote was neccoary to pass tbe resolution for which lie intended his resolution to be a substitute. Finding that the present form of the resolution would require only a maerity vote, he would withdraw the substitute. e said he would call up the matter every morning till it was disposed of. He did not propose that it should be allowed to die out. As to the secrets of the executive sessions getting out, he said if he were permitted to guess he could tell. I have a private secretary, whom I consider very private, 1 walk down the avenue with him, aud he asks me a question or two, and, being smarter than I am, he knows more in five minutes than I will learn in a week. Then he gives it to somebody else, and the whole newspaper fraternity get it. My observation is that if yon would undertake to exchange intelligence, the newspaper men would have the best of this Senate by a large majority. That is the way the secrets leak out. The newspaper fraternity,he added, like religions associations and other organizations, had some bad men, and they sometimes misrepresented. He instanced a recent case in which, he said, one newspaper had taken the facts as other papers had them,

and then reversed the statement of facts, putting his [Mr. Riddleberger’s] name where the name of the other man had been; that newspaper, he said, would not have dared to do that if open sessions were permitted. In open sessions Senators addressed themselves to the country, and not to me smoking congregation of this body. TA course of Senators in making secret session charges against men nominated for office smacked smartly of cowardice. The pension bill was placed before the Senate, but the hour of 2 o’clock arrived before its reading was concluded, and the Senate took up the interstate commerce bill. Mr. Camden obtained the floor and the Senate went into exeentive session, and when the doors reopened, adjourned. THE HOUSE. Routine Business—Consideration of the River and Harbor Bill. Washington, April 15. — Mr. Singleton, of Mississippi, from the committee on the library, reported a Senate bill accepting from Julia D. Grant and William H. Vanderbilt certain objects of art presented by foreign governments to the late U. S. Grant. Placed on the House calendar. Also, a Senate bill establishing a commission to report to Congress on manuscripts belonging to the government Referred to the committee of the whole. Mr. Caldwell, of Tennessee, from the committee on the presidential count, reported, with amendments, a Senate bill to fix the day for the meeting of electors of President and Vice-presi-dent, and to regulate the counting of the vote. Placed on the House calendar. Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, from the committee on the judiciary, submitted an adverse report on tbe memorial of John McC. Perkins, for the impeachment of Thomas L. Nelson, United States District Judge for the State or Massachusetts, and the memorial was laid upon the table. Mr. McCreary, of Kentucky, from the committee on coinage, weights and measures, reported a bill to establish a sub-treasury at Louisville, Ky. Referred to the committee of the whole. Mr. McCreary, of Kentucky, from the committee ou foreign affairs, reported a bill authorizing the President to arrange a conference for the purpose of promoting arbitration and encouraging reciprocal commercial relations between the United States and the republics of Mexico and Central and South America and the empire of Brazil. Referred to the committee of the whole. Mr. Hill, of Ohio, from the committee on Territories, reported a bill for the organization of the Territory of Oklahoma. Placed ou the House calendar. Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, from the committee on Pacific railroads, reported a resolution authorizing an investigation of the books and accounts and system of accounts of the Pacific railroads. Referred to the committee of the whole. Mr. G'bb, of Indiana, from the committee on public lrtuds, reported a bill repealing the preemption, timber culture and desert laud laws. Placed on the calendar. Ou motion of Mr. Breckinridge, of Arkansas, Senate bills were passed extending to Omaha, Neb., and Portland, Ore., the provisions of the law relative to the immediate transportation of dntiable goods. On motion of Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, a bill was passed amending Section 3336, Revised Statutes, so as to provide that every brewer, on filing notice of his intention to commence or continue business, shall execute a bond to tbe United States in a sum equal to three times the amount of the tax which the brewer will be liable to pay during one month. Pending consideration of a bill to authorize the establishment of an export tobacco manufacturers’ association and a drawback upon imported articles used in manufacturing export tobacco, tbe morning hour expired. The House then went into committee of the whole—Mr. Wellborn, of Texas, in the chair—ou the river and harbor appropriation bill, all general deb Ate on the bill being limited to two hours and a half. Mr. Willis, of Kentucky, briefly reviewed and explained the provisions of the bill, which, he contended, called for no appropriation which was not demanded by the interests of the country. The most critical scrutiny of the measure would show that the rivers and harbors enumerated in it were worthy of improvement, and were of public iiQsfKirtance. Mr. Anderson, of Kansas, while favorine the improvement of rivers as one means of securing cheap transportation, criticised various items of the bill as being extravagant. Mr. Hepburn, of lowa, characterized some of tbe appropriations as prodigal and wasteful, throwing away of the people's money. He especially opposed the Galveston harbor appropriation, on the ground that the plan for the improvement of that harbor had been shown to be defective. He also criticised the appropriation for tbe lower Mississippi river; he would like to see the navigation of that river improved, but he had no faith iu the pretense that it was for the improvement of the navigation that these expenditures were made. Strike out of the plan of the commission the levee feature, and there was not a member of the region of the lower Mississippi who would raise bis hand to secure the appropriation. Mr. Jones, of Alabama, replied to what he termed the blank cartridge attacks made on a bill whose object it was to furnish cheap transportation for the people. Mr. Stewart, of Texas, maintained that the plan of improvement for Galveston harbor was not defective, and in commenting upon tbe industries of the State of Texas, remarked that Texas was a larger wool-raising State tnan Ohio. "Oh, we will take care of your wool interests for you,” promised Mr. Reed, of Maine. Mr. Stewart replied that he would talk about that when tbe proper bill was under consideration. Mr. Reed then proceeded to criticise the appropriation for the Mississippi river, on the ground that it was throwing money into the river for the benefit of reclaiming the land along its banks. The bill was then read by sections for amendments, and some little progress was made before the committee rose, and the House adjourned. A New York Preacher’s Idea. New York, April 15.—The Rev. J. Benson Hamilton, pastor of the Cornell Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church of this city, has become disgusted with seeing sinners in his congregation going to sleep over sermons on Sundays, so he has invented an aid to preaching which he thinks will not only keep bis hearers wide awake, but will also draw enongh worshipers from the other churches and the world at large to fill the too numerous vacant pews in Memorial Church. He inaugurated his scheme at the morning service on Sunday,and it proved a success. His congregation noticed as they took their seats that a huge screen of the reddest kind of red cloth ’.'ormed a back-ground to the pulpit They wondered not a little what purpose this object was to fill in the expounding of the gospel, and their wonder increased to astoDishmeut and delight when Mr. Hamilton, as he preached from the text, “He brought him to Jesus,” turned ever and anon to the screen, drew aside its rich red folds and exposed to their view several large pictorial representations in colors of the seenes and incidents verbally depicted in his discourse. The congregation became so interested in this novel and effective way of illustrating a sermon that there was quite a murmur of approval beard, which narrowly escaped once from being downright applause. The reverend pastor prints a Sunday paper, which he distributes to his congregation every Sabbath morning. In a few weeks he will begin a series of Sunday sermons illustrated with dissolving views from a stereopticon. “Oh, woman, in our hours of ease, uncertain, eoy and hard to please.” With children hurt, long hours she’s spent Do try Salvation Oil, the liniment Even if You Buy a Dozen Common porous plasters—which you can get for a song at any of the (Jheap John druggists—you have merely thrown sway your money, for one JBenson’s Capcine Plaster is worth them all.' The reason is this: Benson's is the only porous plaster in the market that is honestly and skillfully made and scientifically medicated. others are no more than nominal imitations of Benson’s. They are cheap because they possess none of the ingredients which render Benson’s valuable. The latter are prompt to act, pleasant to w-aar, and eure in a few hours ailments which others will not even relieve. The public are especially warned against so-called “Oapsicin,” * •Capsicum.” ' ‘Capoern ’’ or “Oapsicine” plasters, as worthless articles intended to deceive. Ask for Benson’s, and look for the 'Three Seals” txads-mark and tbe word ’ ’Capone’’ eut in the ♦eater.
