etc., employed. If we are defeated ic war by a nation having better shine than onrs. we can be made to feel our inferiority in a way to stimulate American genius and enterprise, as well as lighting ability. But tho oldest engineers, warriors and seamen, after many years of investigation, have advised the law makers that the United States cannot only excel in the architecture, but material, in ship building. Something like $30,000,000. it is estimated at the Navy Department, will be expended in the work when the reconstruction of the navy is bofun. The small amount appropriated by the ill which passed the House is only to put navyyards in order and do some experimental construction. It is no indication what the total cost will be. REPORTS ON REMOVALS. A Few Missourians Who Were Removed Because They Were Republicans. Washington, July 28.—The Senate has removed the injunction of secreay from the reports of its committee upon a number of nominations which have recently been confirmed. In regard to the removal of M. L. Laughlin, from the postmastership at Brownsville, Mo., the postoffice committee reports that there were charges respecting the management of the office, which, however, did not involve any element of moral turpitude, and it 6ees no reason why the community should change the high opinion which it held of Mr. Laughlin. The committee think, on the whole, that the real cause for the removal lies iu the fact that Mr. Laughlin is a Republican. In the case of Homer Luce, to be postmaster at Higginsville, Mo., vice John W. Endley, tho committee conclude that the motives for the change were entirely political. The report in the case of William Hyde, to be postmaster at St. Louis, is as follows: 4 'The committee on postoffices and post-roads, to whom was referred the nomination of William Hyde to be postmaster at St. Louis, Mo , in place of Rodney D. Wells, suspended, snbmits the following report: The records and files supplied to the oommittee in this case by the Postmaster-gen-eral disclose a very resolute purpose on the part of the partisan adherents of the present administration of the executive department of the government to efTect a change in tho office of postmaster at St Louis. Applications and importunities in this regard were so frequent and persistent- that a commission of three postoffice inspectors was organized and instructed to inspect the affairs and condition of the office. The commission entered on its work early in July, 1885, and forwarded its report to the department on the 22d of that month. The committee has examined the reports so made, and is impressed thereby most favorably in respect of the efficiency of the service in the St. Louis postoffice, and it may well, be doubted whether any first-class office in the country could be subjected to the ordeal applied to that office and withstand it with as little resulting damage as it did. No one can read the report of the commission without coming to the conclusion that Mr. Wells is a man of high character, of resolute purpose to do right and to so conduct the affairs of his office as to secure a satisfactory service to the public and to maintain absolute integrity in his accounts as a public officer. Taking the case in its entirety it does not admit of a doubt that the suspension of Mr. Wells was the result of partisan pressure. He is a Republican. His office is wanted by a Democrat. He was suspended and a Democrat appointed to his place. The evidence on the flies In the case indicates that the nominee is a fit and competent man to discharge the duties of the office, and the committee therefore report bis nomination to the Senate with a recommendation that it be confirmed.”

THE CASE OF SANTOS. The Action of the State Department Which Resalted in His Release. Washington, July 28.— The Speaker to-day laid before the House a communication from the Secretary of State, in answer to a House resolution, inclosing a mass of correspondence in relation to the imprisonment and release of Jules Santos by the government of Ecuador. After a long correspondence touching Santos’s nationality, Secretary Bayard, on May 1, 1885, wrote Consul-general Beach that the government held Santos's citizenship was no longer debatable, and that he must have the same absolute protection of his property as any other Citizen of the United States; no further delay in doing justice to Santos could be expected from the government of Ecuador or permitted by the government of the United States. The consul-general was also notified that Commander Mahan, of the United States ship Wachusetts, would be instructed to remain within reach pending the prompt settlemeal of the case, to afford Santos an opportunity to return to the United States should he desire. On May 13, 1885, Senor Flores, the Ecuadorian minister, telegraphed from New York to Secretary Bayard, requesting him to'stop proceedings through the United States consul until he could be heard in person, to which, on the following day, Secretary Bayard replied that the minister might peruse the papers in the case with a view to his telegraphing his government of the concurrence in the decision of the State department, which, the Secretary says, “being done, may avoid the presence of a man-of-war of the United States at Guayaquil, and so enable the prompt disposition of the matter." On May 18, the Secretary, by agreement with Senor Flores, sent to the President of Ecuador a telegram banded to him by Senor Flores. In the translation of the telegram made by the De{mrtment of State, the minister requests the reease of Santos “without touching the question of nationality," while the translation made by Senor Flores reads “reserving all question of oitizenship." On May 23, Senor Flores wrote to Secretary Bajard that he had sent the telegram, before examining the papers in the Santos case, “being happy to thus give a proof of confidence." Other *correspondence following shows that the Ecuadoran minister endeavored to have the State Department reopen the case, which is followed,- on June 18, 1885, by a request from the Secretary of State to Secretary Whitney that telegraphic orders be sent to the commander of the Wachusetts directing him to proceed forthwith, with his vessel, to Guayaquil, with the understanding “that his mission is entirely friendly, and that if the situation or treatment of San tos should seem to require it, he will a9k the instructions of the department 1 ’ At the same time the L'nited States consul-general was directed to demand a direct trial or speedy release for Santos. He is advised that the presence of the Wachusetts is not to be deemed a menace. On July 4, 1885. Senor Flores notified the State Department that amnesty had been granted, and requested the withdrawal of the United States ship Iroquois from Patoi. The consul general was requested to confirm the statement, to which he replied, on July 15, 1885, that such a eonstructiou might be placed on an act just passed, but that his theory was that the Ecuadoran government desired to free Santos and extinguish his claim for indemnity by one act. Later, on Aug. 11, 1885, it was positively announced that Santos had been liberated THE PRESIDENT AND HIS PARTY. The Contentions Among Democrats Chiefly Caused by Mr. Cleveland’s Course. Member of Congress, in New York Herald. The President has, from the beginning till now, not only held himself aloof v from members of his party in Congress, but his general treatment of'them has been offensive to their just pride. He has brought here to Washington the ideas and manners he acqnired in dealing with the Common Council of Buffalo and the Legislature at Albany. His attitude toward Congress has been one ot suspicion and of contemptuous opposition—the attitude of a schoolmaster, and not that of a companion in arms, a oan believing in the honest intentions of his iellow-Democrats; believing, if you choose, that most of tbem are fools or wrong, yet desirous .Jot the country’s and the party's sake to bring them and himself together upon a coarse bene fiaial to all, and ready to be instructed, to learn, as well as to give orders and to instruct. Mr. Cleveland has from the first isolated himself from the leading minds of hie party in Congress. Ha has not consulted with them’or made any

efforts toward securing a harmony of views and action among tbem, or between tbem and himself. In that important respect he reminds me, and others as well, very much of Andrew Johnson. “Like master, like man," is an old and true saying, and the Cabinet live in equal Isolation from the party with Mr. Cleveland. Ido not believe the whole of them have influenced ten votes in the House on any question. In fact, if they had been able to, Mr. Morrison would have got his bill considered in the House, and would probably have presented a bill that the whole party would have supported. Like Mr. Cleveland, bis Cabinet have no intimate, friendly, confidential relations to leading men of their party in Congress; in fact, they have no relations at all to them of mutual interchange of ideas and advice about public measures. If any of them feel an interest in the success and the future of the party they have managed to conceal it It results that the administration exists, as it were, within a high wall, or in another part of the globe—so far as it affects the party councils and the party action. If it were a Republican administration it could not show less interest in the welfare, of the party than it has and does. The result is what your correspondent justly criticises, but unjustly blames upon Congress. Mr. Cleveland’s narrow and ill-informed mind hAS never tried to grasp the opinions of the whole country. He regards New York as the country, and that is a very bad mistake. Besides that he thinks men who do not agree with him are either insincere or lacking in sense; and that is another bad mistake. His attitude toward the party has weakened it in the country. His chosen isolation has of course led him into mistakes. If he had the habit of hearing what members of his party say and drawing out what they think he would not be keeping a crossroads lawyer from Arkansas in the Attorneygeneral’s office, and he would know that some other changes besides that one would strengthen the party. It is perfectly true that the Democrats in Congress disagree in many things. But they wished nothing so much as harmony when Congress met last December. They could easily have been brought to act together for important and useful ends if the President had chosen. He might not have united tbem to vote for Mr. Morrison’s tariff bill —to illustrate what I mean by an instance—but it was entirely in his power, by only proper and friendly management, to get them to agree upon some measure of tariff reform. He could not probably have got the party u> unite cn the immediate and unconditional stoppage of the silver coinage, but if he had gathered our loaders about him, he and they could have devised a plan looking to that end which the whole party would have supported. The Democrats in Congress, like their opponents, are a body of sincere and honest men, no doubt often ill informed and prejudiced; moved .unduly perhaps by the supposed needs or demands of their localities; but faithful to duty and easily led. Mr. Cleveland’s place was to lead them. They cannot be bullied; that is what he has attempted: and so he has estranged himself from them. That ts his loss. The toadies who surround a President tell him in the press of his great popularity, and boast that the party must renominate him or perish. All his actions show that he has this in his own mind, and it is natural that he should despise a party whose master he thinks himself. But he is deceived. A President who desires renomination must so aet as to strengthen his party—to give it confidence and pride in his leadership, which can come only from success. We are all going home to our constituents in a few days, and we go there not boasting of what 'the Democratic administration has accomplished, but excusing, as well as we may be able to, its failures and mistakes.

OPPOSITION TO PORTER Senators Who Will Undertake to Defeat His Confirmation. Washington Special to Boston Herald. Although General Logan has gone away, Fitz John Porter’s nomination will not be confirmed without opposition. Messrs. Harrison, of Indiana, Hawley, of Connecticut, and Manderson, of Nebraska, the threo Republicans who voted in committee with Mr. Logan against the favorable report on the nomination, propose to delay its confirmation as much as possible. They will be able to prevent its consideration at the next executive session (when it will be reported) by interposing a single objection. At the next succeeding executive session, however, it will be entirely possible for the majority of the committee to call up the case and secure confirmation. Mr. Harrison is quoted as saying that, as Porter is not yet sixty-four years old (the age for retirement), if confirmed, it will be in the discretion of the President to assign him to active duty, and keep him there until his sixty-fourth year; that as Portei, if confirmed, will be the ranking colonel, he would, in case of a vacancy higher up, be in line for promotion as brigadier-general, and would at last reach the retired list with a higher grade than Congress intends. Mr. Harrison maintains, too, that General Porter would reap a large pecuniary benefit from longevity of pay, and would be entitled to a much larger salary than Congress proposes to allow him. Gen. Porter’s friends point out there is no reason to believe that the President will do anything more than place Porter on the retired list as colonel, as the act for Porter’s relief permits him to do. MINOR MATTERS. A Richmond Man Charged with Using the Mails for Fraudulent Purposes. Special to the IndianaDolis Journal. Washington, July 28.—This morning Detective Pass arrived here from Richmond, having in custody James H. Jordan, alias J. T. Johnson, arrested there on the charge of using the mails for fraudulent purposes. Pass arrived at Indianapolis Monday evening at 8 o’elock, and left there yesterday morning at 7 o'clock, reaching here at 6:30 o'clock this morning. Pass found and recovered, through the Richmond polioe, two cases of Duffy malt whisky, which, it is alleged, Johnson obtained here and had shipped to Richmond. In the Police Court, this morning, Jordan was charged with violating the postal laws. Assistant District Attorney Shepherd, stating that this was but one of a series of charges, asked that bail be fixed at SI,OOO, and the court made the order. The prisoner, by bis counsel, Mr. Hewitt, waived examination. Nominations by the President. Washington, July 28.— The President to day sent to the Senate the following nominations: A. A. Adee, of the District of Columbia, now Third Assistant Secretary of State, to be Second Assistant Secretary of State, vice Wm. Eunter, deceased; J. B. Moore, of Delaware, to be Third Assistant Secretary of State. E. Spencer Pratt, of Albany, to be minister resident and consul-general ot the United States to Persia. Elmer A. Howard, of lowa, to be agent for the Indians of the Pima agency in Arizona; M. C. Williams, of North Carolina, to bo agent for the Indians of the Puebla agency, in New Mexico; Thomas C. Leach, to be associate justice of the Supreme Court of tho Territory of Montana. Now That Mr. Hunter Is Dead. Washington Special.' Mr. Bayard asked the committee on appropriations to allow him one or two additional clerks for the State Department There has been no increase of the force for several years. The committee refused to do so because the Secretary retained William Hunter as Assistant Secretary. It was insisted that he should be discharged and a Democrat appointed. But Mr. Bayard declined to set him adrift in his old age. The Senate amended the bill by providing for additional clerks, and now that Mr. Hunter is dead, the Democratic House committee will, no doubt, be willing to concur. Design for a New Postal Card. Washington Special. The new postal-card design, adopted about a year ago, will soon be superseded by another, which has been preparing at the Bnreau of Engraving and Printing, and which was formally approved by Postmaster-general Vilas to-day. When the last change of design was made, there was some occasion for haste, and there was difficulty about getting rid of oertain notions abont the card that experience has removed. Mr. Vilas, last year, took the best of the designs offered.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1886.

It was an Improvement, but still not entirely satisfactory. The new design will at once be accepted as an improvement upon that now in use. It consists of one piece of engraving instead of two pieces, as on the present card. A head of Jefferson, a miniature portrait after the original in the State Department, occupies a central place on the upper third of the card. Over this head, in light letters, are the words “United States.’’ In panels, supported by scroll work at the left and right, are the words, “postal card," in distinct letters. Under the head are the words, “one cent,” and beneath the borderline inclosing the designation of value is the line, “Nothing but the address to be on this side." The design is graceful and light, and its advantage over the old one is that the idea of patting the stamp off at one side and the designation of the article at the opposite side is abandoned to secure an inclusive design with the strongest feature of it in the center. The Postmaster-general may decide to print the new cards on white paper, in black ink, for the reason that white paper furnishes a better ground for written characters, helping the postoffice clerks who are compelled to decipher addresses, and for the other reason that the brown ink is complained of by the printers who use it as more troublesome to obtain good work with than the same quality of black ink. The Cherokee Freedmen. Washington Special. J. Milton Turner has made arrangements with the steering committee, through Mr. Peel, of Arkansas, by which the Congressman will be recognized some day this week to call up the * 1 for the relief of the Cherokee freedmen. The bill will be passed as it came from tbe Senate. This will send the freedmen’s claim to the courts for adjudication. An arrangement has been perfected with the Cherokee tribe by which the litigation wiil be concluded as quickly as possible. Miscellaneous Notes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 28.— T0-day’s local newspapers announce that ex Senator Bruce, late Register of the Treasury, will address the Knights of Labor at Princeton, Ind., early in August Col. F. A. Seeley, of the commission to conduct examinations for the fourth assistant examiner in the Patent Office, will leave this week for Indianapolis and Cincinnati, to examine applicants for these positions. Notice of the examinations will be gtven, beginning on Aug. 3, and continuing on the sth and 7th. The conferees oil the river and harbor appropriation bill, to-day, again endeavored to reach an agreement on the points of difference between the two houses, but without success. The conference, however, was characterized by a more conciliatory spirit than has yet manifested itself, and the prospects of the bill are regarded as being brighter by several of the conferees. Another meeting will be held to-morrow. The Senate committee on nostoffices and postroads to day ordered a favorable report on th e House bill to extend the free-delivery system of the Postoffice Department. Senator Wilson, of lowa, of the committee on postoffices and post-roads, to-day reported favorable a bill to amend the Revised Statutes so as to authorize the Postmaster-general, in his discretion, to allow third-class postmasters a reasonable amount of the surplus revenues of their offices for rent, fuel, clerks and other necessary expenses. Senator Blair, of the pensions committee, pre sented reports recommending that the bills to pension Dudley B. Branch and James C. Chandler be passed over the President’s veto. The Attorney-general has returned the oleomargarine bill to the President with his report thereon. It is expected that the President will also obtain the views of Acting Secretary Pairchild in regard to the bill before he acts upon it. The naval committee of the Senate this morning amended the House bill to increase the naval establishment by striking out the provisions which authorize the purchase of armor or machinery abroad, and in this form tbe measure was reported back to the Senate. Mrs. Folsom, the President’s mother-in-law, is a guest at the White House. She arrived this morning, and will remain several days.

CIGAR-MAKERS LOCKED OCT* Asked to Abandon the Union, They Refuse . and Suspend Work in a Body. New York, July 28. —Sutro & Newmark and Lichenstein Bros. & Cos., as members of the Cigar-manufacturers’ Association, to-day served a notice on the men in their employ who are members of the Progressive Union, that, as a strike was in progress in the work-rooms of Levy Brothers, they mast agree to give up the union or be looked out. This demand was in accordance with the rules of the Manufacturers’ Association. The men refused to yield, and quit work. About 1,400 persons aro now out of work in the three above-mentioned shops. Tbe officers of the Progressive Union declare that they have left the Knights of Labor, and that they will not have anything more to do with them. They are very bitter against District Assembly No. 40, and the Home club. Labor Notes. New York. July 28.—The trouble between the Knights of Labor and the prog*essive cigarmakers has reached a bitter stage. Two Knights of Labor yesterday entered the cigar factory of Levy Bros., and announced that the men who would not “stick” to the Knighte of Labor organization could find employment elsewhere. At this 450 cigar-makers left their places, and later resolved that “as American citizens” they would not submit to such dictation, and they sent word to the firm, which favors the Knights, that they must be protected in their rights. Detroit, July 28.—The report, last night, that the bricklayers and masons had ordered a general strike, to take place this morning, proves to have been a mistake. The union made a proposition to the bosses to finish the work already begun, under conditions that the bosses will have nothing to do with Knapp & Avery, who employ non-union men. Conflicting statements are made as to the probable outcome, but the men were at work this morning. Prohibition Nominations.

A Monster 100 Feet Long Seen by Several Persons—Big Around as a Barrel. Rockport, Mass., July 27.—A reliable sea serpent has visited Rockport breakwater. This is no imaginary sea serpent, concocted for the benefit of any particular watering-place. It is vouched for by men of undoubted veracity. Charles A. Russell, of Gloucester; Edward Battis, of Salem; Sumner D. York, clerk of the Gloucester Police Court, and Albert W. Tarr, teller in the Rockport National Bank, have been camping out at what is known as Gully Point On Saturday evening Mr. Tarr sat, with glass in hand, and saw a large body not far from shore. The attention of the remainder of the party was called to the sight All of the party were unbelievers in a sea serpent, but ocular proof dispelled their doubts. Gracefully his serpentship coiled toward shore, and, before turning away from the rocky coast, had ventured within 200 yards of the campers. So far as could be judged the marine monster was 100 feet or more m length, and as large round as a barrel. The head was seen upright in the water, and, when under the waves, the body floated on top. Major Kent a summer visitor in this locality, saw the object, but he was further than the campers, and did not get so good a view. He thought it was a large fish with along net in tow. Mr. Russell said to the correspondent that, if there ever was a sea serpent, that surely was one. The serpent gracefully swam within 200 yards, and, coming round the point, made a great sweep and headed toward the breakwater. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

Bad Congressman Cobb. Washington Hatchet. Congressman Cobb, who received a personal introduction to Congressman Laird’s knuckles the other day, has never been popular in the House. He has always presumed on his physical weight, and is generally regarded as a blustering bully. He has an excessivelv disagreeable habit of flatly contradicting people in the most offensive manner, and has generally as sumed about all the authority there was about the room of the land committee in the House. He used to pick out Jim Belford, of Colorado, who formerly served on the committee with him, as an especial victim, and his actions became so outrageous that Belford finally borrowed a revolver and carried it around for several days with the intention of resenting any further insnlts of the kind. Cobb may have gotten wind of the fact in some way, but, howover this may be. he modified his manner very materially, and the revolver was returned without having been used. The general opinion is that Laird showed unusual self-control in not shutting him np before he did. An Important Case Settled.

A RAIN OF STONES. Mysterious Showers of Pebbles Which Puzzle the People of Mundj's Landings. Louisville. July 28.—A Courier-Journal special gives the following, which was vouched for by reliable parlies: The inhabitants of Mundvs Landing, on the Kentucky river, in Woodford county, are considerably nonplused and worked up over the discharge of showers of stones descending in their midst. Several per* sons have been severely hurt, and roofs of houses made to rattle like musketry. The scene and location of these mysterious visitations are at and near the house of Mrs. Lucretia Mundy, widow of Lowry Mundy, who died from the effects of poison administered, as charged, by his wife and Dr. Davis, the latter now serving a life sentence in the penitentiary for being guil y of the poisoning, and Mrs. Mundy is now under indictment as accessory to the murder. The first notice taken of the falling stones was on Monday last, when parties picking blackberries in a patch some distance from the Mundy manson were surprised at the dropping of small stones in their midst, and continuing to descend at intervals. Their surprise changed to alarm, and with buckets and berries they beat a hasty retreat from the patch. The next day Mrs. Dr. Davis, when about one hundred yards from her house, was struck severely on the arm by a stone from some unknown direction. Miss Annie Mundy was also hurt, and very severely, by a descending stone upon her head. Miss Eva Mundv the next day was hit and slightly hurt. A negro man, Henry, was struck and knocked over a cliff, which came very near ending his career. On Saturday and Sunday several negroes were struck, one or two of them being severely injured. The people of the neiehborhood. of course, are stirred up. Some think it the work of some malicious individual or individuals who are creating a sensation. Others think it of the supernatural order. But whether from natural or unnatural causes, all are of the opinion that it is a very strange affair. Several houses besides the Davis-Mundy mansions have been struck. The stones descend perpendicularly and not horizontally. THE DICKY-BIKD SOCIETY. An Organization for the Protection of All Living Things. Cable Special. A demonstration most unique in character took place here to-day at the Tyne Theater. It was intended to commemorate the enrollment of 100,000 members of “Uncle Toby’s Dicky-bird* Society.” Several thousand of these assembled there for the bearing of addresses on the purposes comtemplated by that organization. It ig scarcely ten years yet since the society was originated. Its mission is to kindle within the hearts of the young a feeling for the lower creation which exhibits itself in good works. “Under Toby” was the name of the founder. This organization is the synoqym for beneyolencet Each of the 100,000 members has signed this pledge: “I hereby promise to be kind to all living; things, to protect them to the utmost of my power, to feed birds in winter time, and never take or destroy their nests. ” The Mayor of Newcastle took the chair, aod Canons Floyd and FrAnklin, with several social celebrities, made addresses. In the course of one It was said: “The first branch of this society established ontside the British Isle was in Norway, Feb. 3, 1877. A few weeks afterward a branch was established in Victoria, Australia; then the cause was taken up in Nova Scotia. New Zealand, Tasmania, South Africa and other distant colonies.” The “Dicky-bird Society” can boast of members in France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Gibraltar, Constantinople, Hong Kong, South ica, many parts of Canada and the United States. Within less than a decade since its Institution the organization has just reached in its ranks the grand total of 100,000 members. One speaker referred with pride to the fact that the Legislature of New York recently passed strong statutes protecting all the small birds. Many songs and excellent music were given. The largest number of those seated were of the members.

DOWNS DOWNS SIXTY-SEVEN. They Are Excluded from His Church by Resolution, and Told “The Delights of Heaven." Boston Special. Parson Downs preached to a large congregation in Bomstead Hall this morning. To alt observant person it was apparent when he ascended the platform that something of more than ordinary importance was to happen. After prayer and singing. Mr. Downs proceeded to read a set of resolutions adopted at a special meeting of the Bowdoin-square Baptist Church, Friday evening, in which sixty seven members, including thirty-one males and thirty-six females, were formally expelled for various offenses inconsistent with their professions. The list of names was read in breathless stillness, and it was observed the expelled were all members of the Wilbur faction, which has constantly opposed Parson Downs. At the close of the list Parson Downs read the closing resolution, as follows: - Whereas, The number of these said members is so large and the gravity, long standing and publicity of their offenses so well known as to make the ordinary steps of our church discipline both unwise and impracticable, therefore be it Resolved, That the right hand of fellowship be withdrawn from the persons named, and that they be this day publicly censured and expelled from the membership of this church. The specifications of charges cover the past eighteen months. After prayer, in whiih the erring ones were not forgotten, Mr. Downs delivered a sermon on “The Delights of Heaven.” Shot by a Highbinder.
