may accumulate in the Treasury and sub-treas-ories of the United States, at present the only acenclea for the redemption of minor coin, while at the eam time there may exist a pressing demand for the same class of coin in parts of the United States remote from the Treasury and its branches. Apain, he says, there may be an accumulation at the Treasury or at certain subtreasuries, while at the same time there may exist a demand at commercial centers eTen where certain other sub treasuries are located. Yet, no specific appropriation is available for the transfer from one subtreasury to another of minor coin found to be in excess of the demand at the locality where any such excess may happen. The director argues that a part of the demand for minor coin, which has arisen to an unprecedented extent during the latter part of the past year, is at least unreasonable, it having "appeared that in the exercise of a preference for fresh coin, applications to the Philadelphia Slintfor large sums of minor coin have been made from the various cities where an accumulation was reported at the sub-treasuries. To facilitate the transfer of coin, and its recoinaee and cleaninjr for reissue, certain amendments to the Iivised Statutes are suggested, conferring on the Secretary of the Treasury authority to transfer coin from the Treasury to the Mint, and allowing him to retain from the balance of the minor coinage proSt fund, which is now covered into the treasury, a sum not exceeding $25,000 in any one year, to defray the expenses of distribution. FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS.

Roth Houses Litrn to ilie Announcement of Senator 1 oiraii'n Death and Adjourn. "Washington, Dec 4. As soon as the reading of the journal was concluded, Mr. Cullom took the floor and said: "Mr. President Tho angel of death stalks through the land, and his visitation has been most unexpected during the recent brief recess of the Senate, imposing upon me a duty which I have scarcely the heart to perform the duty of announcing the death of my distinguished colleague. At his home, which overlooks this capital city, at three minutes before 3 o'clock, on Sunday, the 2Cth of December, the spirit of John A. Logan took its flight to the unknown realms of eternity, and cn Friday last his funeral ceremonies were conducted, by the Senators and Representatives present, in this Senate chamber, and his mortal remains were conveyed to the silent tomb. We are called upon to mourn tb death of one of the bravest and noblest of men a man loved by the patriotic people of his State and of the Nation, a roan known to his eountry and to the civilized world, and, for nearly fourteen years, a distinguished member of this Senate. I shall not at this time, Mr. President, attempt to pronounce the words which are due to the memory of one who, for so many years, performed so important and conspicuous a part in the affairs of this Republic. At an early day I shall seek to introduce appropriate resolutions, and shall speak, as I may be best able, of the character and public services of our associate, when an opportunity will be given to Senators to pay fitting tribute to his memory. Mr. President, out of respect for the memory of the deceaid Senator Logan, I move that the Senate do row adjourn." The motion was agreed to and the Senate adjourned. The Clerk if the House, with a message from that body, an i Mr. Pruden, with one from the President, inc. osing a cumber of nominations, were waiting nt the door ready to deliver their respective messages, but did not get an opportunity to do so. In his prayer this morning, the Chaplain of the Houfce referred to the death of Senator Logan in the following words: "Almighty God, since last we met in this hall, it hath pleased Thee to take out of this world the soul of a man eminent alike both in the camp and in the Senate, and the Nation mourns the loss of a faithful son and servant. As the widow :' desolate in her home and the children fel the weight of their irreparable loss, grant that the comfort which comes alone from the religion of our Lord Jesus may be ministered to them: and in the blessed hope of reunion beyond the grave may they find consolation." The Speaker laid before the House a communication from the Hon. A. S. Hewitt, announcing that he had forwarded to the Governor of the State of New York his resignation as Representative from the Tenth congressional district of that State. Laid on the table. Mr. Thomas, of Illinois, offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Kesolved, That the House has heard with great sorrow the announcement of the death ot Hon. John A. Logan, Ute Souator of the United States from the State of Illinois. "As a further evidence of the respect felt for the deceased statesmen," said Mr. Thomas, "I move that the House do now adjourn, giving notice that at a later day I will ask that the pro ceedings of the House be suspended in order that his colleagues and friends may bear testi rnony to his worth." The motion was agreed to, and accordingly, at 1J:-:j the House adjourned. REVENUE REDUCTION. A Story to the Effect that Morrison May A gniit Urge Action by the House. New York, Jan. 4. A Washington special to the Post says: "A movement is in progress among Southern men who are in favor of the re duction of the surplus to form a combination by which the taxes upon fruit, brandy and tobacco and its manufactures shall be abolished, and there is some expectation that Mr. Randall will co-operate in the scheme. It is also said by Democrats who ought to know, that Mr. Morri son, during the holiday recess, has become con vinced that it will be expedient for him to move again to consider revenue bills, and that it is not improbable that he will have a larger vote than he had before. The fact that two New England Republicans, nearly every in terest ot whose constituents is protected, roted for the Morrison motion, it is ascertained. bas had a very considerable effect upon Western Republicans, who, while they have consistently voted with the protectionists for protections sake, have recently stated that if New England Congressmen can afford to break ranks upon this subject, there is no reason why Western men. the industries of whose section are practically wunout protection, snoum not also exercise their independent judgment A prominent New England Congreesman who voted against the Morrison resolution Days that he bas discovered that this fehng is quite prevalent in certain sections of the West, and he is apprehensive that if Mr. Morrison shall again make his mowon too result win oe anierent. it - is now definitely known that Mr. Randall's plan is a total repeal of the internal revenue tax, which would involve, for a full fiscal year, the diminution of the receipts by $120,000,000, which is at least $20,000,000 more than the extectd sur plus for the fiscal year. It appears that a com bination has been formed among Southern Democratic Congressmen, which is known among themselves as the Southern Revenue Jterorm urganization, ana which dates its formal existence from a meeting of the Congress men of Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro lina and Georgia, held here early in December. and of which Mr. Cabell, of Virginia, was made chairman. Its object is said to be to secure the abolition of the internal revenue tax upon tobacco and all its manufactures, and upon fruit brandy. This would effect a reduction in the revenue of not far from $30,000,000, and would be extremely popular in certain parts of the South. This combination has received considerable accessions during the recess, iwcordiug to information which bas been received by an officer of the Internal Revenue Bureau, and it is an organization which is in earnest, and it is likely to make itself felt in future deliberations relative to the tariff and the Burpln. Negotiations are now said to be pend ing between the leaders of this organization and the Democrats who represent districts in which the great whisky-distilling interests are located, lor oe purpose or ascertaining whether or r.ot some eommon basis of action cannot be agreed upon. MINOR MATTERS. Tl e rretdent's Iteasoos for Commuting the Sentence of a Murderer. . Washington, Jan. 4. Tbe President has communted to five years' imprisonment the leaih sentence of John W. Parrott, of Arkan-

saf, convicted of murder and sentenced to bs hanged Jan. 14. He made the following indorsement on the application for Parrott's pardon: "I am not quite willing to pardon absolutely this convict, after his conviction of murder, and after a denial of a motion for a new trial, based substantially upon all the pipers now before me, 1 am entirely satisfied that he ought not to suffer the extreme penalty of the law, but I do not think that when he killed the elder MeAdams he was so driven to the wall by the attack of his assailant as to dearly excuse the taking of life, I do not believe the convict invited the attack; but, in considering an application for his pardon, I cannot overlook the fact that he armed himself and went to the place where the man was who had threatened to kill him before night In the belief that the prisoner should be punished for the part he took in this homicide, and that he is gnilty of a crime much less than murder, I have determined to commute his sentence to imprisonment at hard labor for the term of five years." Senator Orown't Rumored Resignation. Washingtox, Jan. 4. The Star to-night says: "Senator Brown, of Georgia, will arrive in the city to-night or to-morrow morning. A reporter was assured to-day by a person competent to speak on the subject, that Senator Brown, if he resigns at all, will not do so until the meeting of the Georgia Legislature, next summer. The reporter's informant added that Senator Brown had not yet determined to resign; that his health has been impaired, and the probability of his being compelled to abandon public life in order to restore his physical strength has been suggested by the Senator's physicians, but they had not advised immediate resignation. Referring to the criticism that Senator Gordon brought noon himself by placing his resignation in the hands of the Governor instead of submitting it to the representatives of the people, the Georgia Democrat who gave the facts to the reporter said: 'Senator Brown will profit by the exper

ience of Gordon, and will wait until the Legislature meets to resign. Meantime, if his health improves, or if he has reason to believe that he can retain his seat without positive injury to it, he will not resign at all." The Local Pension Boards. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 4. Anti-civil-service-re form Democrats who have been complaining that there have not been enough changes in the local pension boards throughout the country no longer have ground npon which to rest their complaints. I am told by a gentleman who is in a position to get reliable information on the sub ject, that fully 90 per cent of the men who were on the boards when the administration now pre vailing took effect have been removed, and he says he is not sure out that the per cent ot changes will reach 95. ''In some sections of country the changes have been sweeping," says he, "and where the old men have been retained it can be shown, in nearly every instance, that either a suitable man cannot be found in the prevailing party, or Democratic influence keeps the incumbent in. This is one class of offices which can be filled at the will of the powers above, and they are doing it up according to Jeffersonian simplicity and the popular plan." Patents for Indiana Inventors. Special to the Indianapolis JonrnaL Washington, Jan. 4. Patents were issued for Indianians to-day as follows: Booth, John, Indianapolis, balanced slidevalve and slide-valve: Dili, Lorenzo, Union Citv, looking-glass frame; Dushane, James, South Bend, map-holder; Freeman, George W., Frank fort, harness-box loop; Freeman, Henry A Wesley, sulky plow; Lotz, Keturah W., Jav county, stovepipe drum: McLain, Ralph, On tario, machine for cleaning gram; Mullen, Winfield W. and F.

She wore a dress of violet velvet, with half a dozen pinkhearted orchids thrust in the battoning. Mrs. Folsoni assisted her daughter. She was attired in black silk. The reception was a great sue cess, being very largely attended. The Logan Fund. Washington, Jan. 4. The subscriptions to the Logan fund continue to pour in from all quarters. A letter was received to day from Capt J. B. Eads inclosing bis check for $1,000. Prof. Alexander Graham Bell contributed $100, and J. D. Rockefeller, of New York, $1,000, General and Personal. Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 4. Harry G. Milligan, of Indianapolis, who has been here two or three days, left for home to-night ' Representatives Owen. Johnston, Ward, Ford and Kleiner, of the Indiana delegation, were in the House to-day. L. E. Cbenoweth. of Greenville, O., is here-. Hiram Peter, of Brazil; Wm. S. Ogle, of In dianapolis, and Harmon L. Huteon, of Angola, have been admitted to practice before the In terior Department C. D. Marsh, of North Vernon, is here. It now seems to be very generally conceded among the members of the House of Represen tatives that Hon. S. S. Cox will be appointed to fill the vacancy on the committee of ways and means caused by the retirement of Mr. Hewitt, and that Mr. Cox and Mr. Mills, of Texas, will be the rival candidates for the chairmanship of the committee in the Fiftieth Congress. The President resumed his omcial duties this morning, lie is sua sutiering irom rneumatie pains, bat seems to be improving steadily. He had a long interview with the Civil Service Commissioners this morning and subsequently received Comptroller Trenholm. The regular Cabinet meeting was held this afternoon, nil the members, except Secretary Lamar, being in attendance. Barbarity at Sea. Chicago. Jan. 4. A special to the Times of the from San Francisco says; "The story brutal and fatal tortnring of John Schroder, a stoker on the Sprekels line steamer Alameda, was told to day by his shipmates, who have just arrived on the steamer. The Sprekels brothers had trouble lately with the seamen's union here and in Sydney and filled the places of thirty Chinamen firemen and coal passers with twentyone white men. Schroder was hired here and was one of the firemen in the engine-room. On the last trip of the Alameda from here to Hono lulu, he fell ill. one day, and to get a breath of fresh air, went on deck, his messmate prom ising to look after his work. . lie was detected on deck by an officer, who ordered him below. When Schroder again en tered the engine room he fell in a dead faint Then, by the officer's orders, some sailors were brought in, and Schroder, in a fainting condi tion, was held up against the open door of the furnace for several minutes, until pieces of blistering flesh filled the room with their odor. Then he was thrown, like a sack of wheat, into a corner of the room, where, after gasping for breath for a moment, he died. On the ship's log, his death was put down as accidental, and he was thrown into the sea." Eight Thousand Idle Men. "Wilkesbarre, Pa., Jan. 4 All the eollieries in thia region shipping over tne JNew jersey Central railroad were idle to-day, except two, on account of the strike of the dock hands at Port Johnson and Elizabethport.

PATCIIIM UP TIIE CABINET.

Salisbury's Work Impeded by Jealous ies Over Goschen's Appointments. Chamberlain Makes Alliances Looking to a Keconciliation of the Liberals Queen Victoria's Health Failing Rapidly. ENGLISH POLITICS. Delay In Reconstructing the Cabinet Tbe Liberals Getting Closer Together. Loicdon, Jan. 4. Tbe Cabinet council has been postponed until Saturday. Lord Salisbury finds that progress in the reconstruction of the Cabinet is impeded by party jealousies over Mr. Goschen's appointments. The whole influence of the Carlton Club is exerted to persuade Lord Iddesleigh and Viscount Cross to remain in office. Lord Iddesleigh pleads that he is in illhealth, and unable to sustain the fatigues of the Foreign Office, and he will persist in his determination to retire. Viscount Cross is uncertain as to what he shall do. The only positive result announced to-day has been the Earl of Northbrook's consent to join Mr. Goschen in the Con servative' Cabinet It has not vet been decided what portfolio will be given him. The Conserva tive opposition is mainly directed against Lord North brook, partly because he is suspected of sympathizing with Mr. Gladstone and partly because he bas hitherto been hostile to Lord Salisbury's foreign and Indian policy. When Lord Salisbury was in the Indian Office, in 1875, Lord Northbrook resigned the viceroyalty of India because he differed from Salisbury regarding the hitter's Afghan policy. If Mr. Goschen insists npon nominating two Cabinet colleagues the Conservatives prefer the Marquis of Lansdowne and the Earl of Morlev. It now seems improbable that any change will be made in the administration of foreign affairs. Lord Iddesleigh denies that he has at any time expressed a wish to retire from the Foreign Office, and Lord Morley authorizes the statement that the place has not been offered him. The necessary changes in the Cabinet will be very few, and these will not be of a startling character. It is stated that Lord Salisbury is greatly annoyed by what he terms the mischievous gossip of the newspapers with reference to changes in the Cabinet, the whole of which he brands as baseless. Lord Salisbury has sent a cable dispatch to the Marquis of Lansdowne, Governor-general of Canada, asking him if he would be willing to join the Ministry. Mr. Gladstone has written a letter commenting upon Mr. Chamberlain's recent speech addressed to Sir William Vernon-Harcourt He says Mr. Chamberlain's speech ought to lead to the securing of a modus Vivendi between the present opposing sections of the Liberal party. As for himself, Mr. Gladstone says he would be glad of any means to bring about a free discussion of the differences dividing the Liberal party, in order to obtain such common action as might be consistent with the respective principles of the sections. He concludes with the significant intimation that the recipient could make what use of it he liked. Sir William sent a copy of the letter to Mr. cnamnenain, who, in reply, expressed his desire for a conference. Mr. Chamberlain has summoned a private meeting of the leading members of the Radical Union to con sult upon the terras of a compromise. No party, however, believes vhat a conference would re sult successfully. The Farnelntes are the su preme obstacle to a compromise, and they wil not accede to anything short of me submission of Mr. Chamberlain. A speaker, at to dav's meeting of the National League, at Dublin, de clared his unabated distrust and hatred of Cham berlain. At the fortnightly meeting of the executive committee of the National League, held at Dublin, to-day, the different speakers ridiculed the idea that Mr. Goschen's acceptance of the chancellorship of the Exchequer would be the means of saving the present Conservative Ministrv. The treasurer reported the receipt of $25,0t)0 in donations to the league's funds during the past two weeks from the United btates. Mr. Gladstone, in a letter to the Mayor of Limerick, thanking him for his congratulations tendered to the ex-Premier on the attainment of his seventy seventh year, writes as follows: "Since I received the Irish deputations at Hawarden there has been fresh encouragement for the hopes then expressed. May God prosper the design in which the peace and happiness of these three kingdoms is so deeply interested." QUEEN VICTORIA'S HEALTH. It Is Breaking Down Rapidly, and She May Not Witness Her Jubilee. London, Jan 4. The Prince of Wales is Bhortly going to leave for the south of Franca He is expected to arrive at Cannes about the 25th of January, and may go on to Malta to visit his brother, the Duke of Edinburg. An effort is being made to have the Prince so out to Australia to open the Centennial Exposition the next summer. But there is a good deal of opposition to the project, on the ground that it is too far from home. The Queen herself thinks he should not go. The Queen is breaking down very rapidly, and 6he is conscious that her life cannot be spared many years longer. The only fchadow over the jubilee year, that opens to-day, is the general apprehension among the people of England that the Queen may not live till the year is completed. The appearance of old age is most clearly marked, even in her jubilee portrait, which has just been completed ana piacea m tne gauery leading to her private apartments at Windsor. I was at Windsor yesterday, and the people of that little borough are very busy getting ready for the festivities which are expected to begin very soon. The Queen and her household had gone to Osborne Wednesday, and the workmen were busy every where putting things in order for the visitors who are expected this spring and summer. Jubilee souvenirs are already displayed in the shops. Some of them are very pretty. One is a porcelain cup with the royal arms and the name of Windsor underneath. Another is a small white bust of the Queen, with an accom panying bust of Liord lieaconsneld, her favorite Minister. The jewelers have made dozens of jubilee designs in silver and gold, some of which are very pretty, ana are sold at most reasonable prices. The people of Windsor expect to reap a rich harvest from the multitude of visitors this year. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. The Rent War In Ireland Eviction Bailiffs Assaulted by Angry Citizens. Dublin, Jan. 4. The people of Achill assaulted a party of bailiffs who were attempting to enforce evictions in that town, on Monday, and prevented them from carrying out their work. Several of the bailiffs were badly hurt by stones thrown by the crowd, and a number of the ring leaders of the mob were subsequentlv arrested. Un tne same a ay, at uenry, Damns enforced a number of evictions without opposition, but were set upon afterward by the people of the town and severely handled. The landlord from whose estate the tenants naa been ejected ap peared on the scene, and was himself attacked and seriously beaten. The Fope's Health. Syracuse, N. Y., Jan. 4. Archbishop Kieley, who is now at Rome, In a letter to Dr. Moriarity, ays that the Pope ia enjoying good 'health.

This." he adds, "is about the only good news I

can give you of Rome, where the reigning authorities continue to wage an Implacable war against the church and all its sacred institutions." Russia's Views aa to Bulgaria, Vienna, Jan. 4 Russia has suggested as a basis for negotiations between the signers to the Berlin treaty for the settlement of the Bulgarian question, that the Bulgarian Regents resign; that a new Sobranie be elected for Bulgaria onlv: that two Zankoffltea be admitted into the Bulgarian Cabinet; that Prince Nicholas, of Mingrlia, be proposed to the new Sobranje for the Bulgarian rulerehip, and that an ordinary provincial assembly be convoked for Roumelia. A Sofia telegram says M. Zankoff is making overtures to the Regents for the formation of a coalition government on a common basis of opposition to the candidacy of Prince Nicholas, of Mingreua. His action is supposed to be a diplo matic move on the part of Russia to concede to the Zankoffites what it refuses the Regents. Frightful Cholera Mortality In Buenoe Ayres. Washington, Jan. 4. A private letter received here from Buenos Ayres, Argentine Republic, under date of Dec. 10. states that cholera in its most malignant form is raging there and the number of deaths daily is frightful; that the dead are removed to the outskirts of the city, piled up like cross-ties and burned.

The engine and express car kept on the main track, but the baggage car was thrown against the engine of a local west-bound freight train, which had just pulled in and was standing on the west-bound main track. The freight engine was thrown on its side and completely wreeked. The baggage car. smoking-car and day coach immediately took fire and were consumed. When the cars could be searched the charred remains of a man burned to a crisp were found, the only means of identification being the letters "U S" on his cap. An hour later half of the burned corpse of Mr. Jenks, of Ludlow, was found. The loss of life would have been much larger if the sleeping-cars had not escaped. The unknown body is believed to be that of a soldier who was on the train, and who has not been Been since. The following is a list of the injured: Charles R. Pockard. printer, of Westfield, probably fatally injured; Mrs. Jane A. Jenks, of Troy, badly bruised: Mrs. F. M. Chandler, of Troy, severe sprains and disjointed ankle; Marcus H.

The through and Chicago, and other Western mail for all New England points, five pouches, were entirely destroyed. All the Westfield and Pittsfield mail, and the Albany letter mail, also, was destroyed. There were about eighty sacks of newspaper mail, and all but seven of them were burned. Larry Connelly, engineer of the "Modoc," says they were running about thirty miles an hour through the village, though, as the train was late, it was probably running faster. Men who saw it think it was. Connelly felt something wrong as they passed the switch and applied the brakes. His engine, with the American Express car, broke off and ran along. They grazed the freight-house and stopped a little berond. He at once went back to the station and telegraphed to Springfield. The only injured person remaining in Mittineague is Charles' S. Packard. He lies in a house . near the. railroad, and tells this story of the crash: "I think there were six persons in the sleeper. I felt an unsteadiness a little while before the crash, and gripped the 6eat, but didn't expect any such smash. I saw a man and woman in a seat together toward the front end of the car. She had been leaning her head on his shoulder. Across the aisle was another, a younger woman. I don't see how they got out of the car, and I'm afraid they didn't. The roof crashed in on us, and I got pinched between two seats and dreadfully crushed. A beam fell on my head, too. I shouted to a negro in the car, and told him to get the axes and saws, but he couldn't find them. Then I heard the cry of fire,' and knew no more until I awoke in this house. OTHER ACCIDENTS.

A destructive fire broke out in Loogootee, Ind., at about 12:30 Tuesday morning, in the store of Patterson & Jenkins. The alarm was given just in time to enable the proprietors, who were sleeping in an upper room, to make their escape by jumping from a window. The flames soon spread and consumed the adjoining drugstore of Joseph Patterson, and bad it not been for the efforts of the hook-and-laddor company a much greater loss would have resulted.

The report of Second Lieutenant Day, of the United States Signal Corps, on the system of cold-wave warnings, has just been issued from the Government Printing Office. Data is given showing the importance and value of the work, and liberal appropriations are urged in order that the system may be extended to every town in the United States. Lieutenant Day says that many citizens have signified their willingness to purchase flags and display them at their own expense if the Signal Office would telegraph the warnings, but that the appropriation available for the purpose during the past season was insufficient to meet the expense. It is recommended that an appropriation of $3,000, to be expended in the extension of the system of cold-wave warnings, be added to the estimates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1888.
