ANOTHER CRISIS IN FRANCE

The Tirard Ministry Suffers a Bad Defeat in the Chamber and Resigns. IT, Floqcet Likely To Called to Form New CabinetCondition of Emperor Frederick The War in Africa. TROUBLE FOR PRESIDENT CABSOT. The Ministry 8utaine a Bad Xfoat In the Chamber and Resigns. Paris, March 30. The Chamber of Deputies, despite the opposition of the government, adopt ed, by a vote of 63 to 237, a motion of nrgeney forth bill introduced by the Extreme Left, demanding a revision cf the Constitution. The Jlinistry thereupon resigned. 1L Lajruerre proposed and M. Pelletan sudported the motion for urgency for the revision of tbe Constitution. In the course of trie discussion sereral Bonapartista declared that they would support the demand in so far as it was an appeal to the people. M. Baodry D'Asson (Royalist), said he would Tote for the proposal, hoping that it would tend to restore the legitimate monarchy, which alone eonld save France. Minister Viette asked the Chamber to await the return of Premier Tirard from the Senate before deciding. , JI. Brisfon said he was opposed to revision, and, alluding to General Boulaneer, said that the satisfaction which would be afforded by the adoption of the measure ought not to be given to a person who had attacked the institutes of the country and talked of eharcine the Chamber. M. Gemenceaa favored . reriaion, saying that the Constitution was cot in accordance with the principles of republican democracy. Minister Sarrien urgtid the Chamber to reject tbe demand, declaring that it was essential that no new cause of troubles and difficulties should be added to those already existing. M. Goblet thought that revision of the constitution would not improve the situation, since the real remedy consisted in having a government supported by tbe Republican majority and capable of withstanding the numerous factions. Premier Tirard, who had entered the house during the debate, declared that he fully agreed with M. Sarrien. If the Chamber decided to consider the urgency proposal the Ministry would decline all responsibility, as such action on the part of the Chamber would furnish a fresh, argument in favor of the audacious manifesto issued by the dismissed General. The defeat of the Ministry caused a sensation in the Chamber. As soon as the vote was announced M. Tirard departed for the Elysee Palace. Mr. Laguerre proceeds to-morrow for the department of Nord,.,where he will commence an electoral campaign in favor of Gen. Boulacger. The General himself will explain his programme at a banquet which will be given at Lille, the capital of the department. The Chamber, after a short recess, reassembled at 9 p. ii. II. Cuneo d'Ornano, Bonapartist, raoved that the bureaus to-morrow appoint a committee to prepare for the revision of the Constitution. After a confused debate M. de Sonnier, of the Left, urged the Chamber to await tbe formation of the new Cabinet ML d'Ornano's motion was rejected by a vote of 253 to 195, tbe Rieht cheering ironically. The I Chamber then adjourned until 2 p.m. to-morrow. The Cabinet Council met at the Elyse Palace at 9 p. m. The Senate has finally adopted the budget as modified by the Chamber of Deputies. President Carnot has accepted the resignation of the Cabinet The Ministers, however, will ; conduct the affairs of their several departments pec ted that M. Flouquet will be summoned to, form a Cabinet. M. De Roulede, when questioned in regard to the crisis, said that tbe intrigues and jealousies of statesmen were ruining France. He feared a war with Germany at the present moment France must first be set on her feet The only man because influential and popular able to raise her was General Boulanger. MM. Ferry, Raynal. Ribot and Rouvier met r at the office of Republique Franeaiso, this evening to concert a plan to prevent the formation of a Cabinet under M-i Flouquet. THE SICK EMPEROR He Drives to Berlin A Death from Excision of the Larynx. , Berlin, March 30. Emperor Frederick and Empress Victoria drove in a half open carriage from Charlottenbnrg to Berlin, to-day, and paid a visit to the Dowager Empress Augusta. They received enthusiastic greetings along the road. The imperial family attended morning service in the Castle Chapel at Charlottenburg. Max Kayser. aged thirty-five years, formerly a member of the Prussian Diet, has died at . Breslau from a partial excision of the larynx, at the hands of skillful surgeons, despite the fact that he had previously undergone the operation of tracheotomy, which greatly diminishes risks of the former operation. Within six months two such eases have ended fatally. In one of the cases, where Dr. Bergmann operated, the patient died in four days. The result in these cases is considered to justify Dr. Mackensie's opposition to the excision of the Emperor's larynx. , . When Emperor Frederick goes out for a drive he is followed by Dr. Mackenzie in a closed prougnam, accompanied by an aid-de-camp of the imperial staff. Wbeu the Emperor and Empress drove into Berlin, to-day, the crowd suspected that the English physician was the occupant of the curtained vehicle which followed the imperial carriage, and indulged in a great deal of murmuring and shaking of fists. Dr. Mackenzie did not show himself, nor did he give any sign to his companion that he regarded the demonstrations of the crowd which lined the route as evidences of popular hostility toward himself. It is understood, however, that extensive police precautions will be taken against a recurrence of these manifestations, and that further offenders will be considered as Insults to tbe Emperor and prosecuted upon that charge. Emperor Frederick slept better last nieht The weather is warm and beautiful The Emperor was delizhted with the acclamations of the people. The Berliners were surprised by the animated manner in which he returned their salutes. The imperial narty visited the room in which Emperor William died. On returning, Unter den Linden was crowded with cbering thrones. Tbe Emperor took a short rest after the drive, and then walked with the Empress for an hour and a half on the palace grounds- The open-air exercise is doing the Emperor much good. GENERAL FOREIGN JiETTS., Klor Joho, or Abyssinia. Offers "to Blake Peace with Italy. Rome, March SO. It ia officially announced that last evening an Abyssinian officer applied at the Italian outposts for permission to speak with General San Marzano. An interview was granted him. and the officer delivered a letter from King John asking for peace. The govern raent has instructed General San Marzano to facilitate a Settlement as Tar as compatible with the dignity and interests of Italy. To-day the Abyssinian outposts retired to their camps.

To the Editor of the IndianapoIiB Journal In your issue of this morning is an article headed "TheDeaf and Dumb Institute, " being part of an article published in the New York Deaf Mute Journal signed by one using the nom de plume, Elna Kenela, in which It was stated that several schools for the deaf in the Western and Southern States had been prostituted by politics, and referring particularly to one which be had lately visited. No where in said article did he name the Indiana Institution. Screened behind an anonymous name his attack upon the "several schools" and "particularly one" was unjust, cowardly and uncalled for and in his cowardice he was upheld by tho paper publishing said communication, as the editor thereof in his next issue refused to iedicate the special institution referred to, and stated that the writer acted wisely in concealing bis identity, and refused to give his name, although several of the deaf mute papers over the country denounced the paper for publishing such an attack oyer an anonyiuocs name, and demanded that the names of the institutions and writer be given. If the writer did refer to this institution in the cowardly m inner described, his letter was a tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end, told with malicious intent, and not because of bis great interest in his "alma mater." From such an article has the quotation in this morning's Journal been made, which is simply a perversion of the facts. Five years ago the board of trustees and superintendent were of the same political faith not of different as the article charges. As to tbe broken furniture and the badly appearing halls and school-rooms,' I wish simply to state the correspondent has lied. The bedrooms may be a little bit crowded thia is, however, not the fault of the superintendent or board of management, as they have repeatedly asxed assistance of the Legislature to remedy this matter. Instead of ventilation being poor, 'tis good in all the sleeping-rooms, and is a matter always given the closest attention. By a little crowding we are enabled to provide for 300 pupils if we did not, only about 250 could bo admitted, and tbis when the number of mutes in the State who should be in school is probably over 400. As to teachers. I wish to say tbat not a single one holds bis place by virtue of a relationship existing between himself and any trustee, or with myself, and further, not a single teacher has bd appointed by me who has not had a knowledge of the sign language. As to the appointing ladies as teachers, I have nothing to say, as the work done by thera is a full and complete justification. As to the institution being a "training school" for teachers, the charge is ridiculous. I ask the publication of this as a natter of justice to myself and to tbe institution. or. k- Baker, Superintendent. A Plea for Pictures. Good Housekeeping.

A Magnificent Andience and Meeting and a Splendid Republican Speech. Ft Wayne Gazette, Friday. . Ex-Senator Ben Harrison, of Indianapolis, arrived in tbe city on the- Wabash yesterday afternoon, and was met by Colonel Robertson, Captain Dougall, Dr. Laubachand other prominent Republicans and spent a few hours looking about tbe city. .Republicans generally are inclined to attribute to the General's coming the first pleasant day we have been permitted to eajoy for many weeks. Senator Harrison was assigned room No. 81, at the Wayne, where he received eoores of callers between the hours of 5 and 7. A Gazette reporter found him just after supper, feeling in excellent spirits with the exception of a slight headache which he felt confident would wear off before the hour arrived for his appearance in public. He fights clear of any allusion in bis conversation to his chances for securing the presidential nomination, but talks freely on State politics and expresses the belief that Indiana will roll up a good majority for the Republican candidate for President, whoever he may be. The Temple last evening was packed with a brilliant gathering of ladies and gentlemen, long before the speaker of the evening appeared on the stage, accompanied by Lieutenant-governor Robertson, Judge Chapin, Judge Morris, and other prominent members of the Morton Club. The appearance of General Harrison was the signal for prolonged applause. Judge Chapin, president of the Morton Club. first announced tbat the Emerson Glee Club, of Huntington, would render a selection. The club is a male quartet comprising Messrs W II. and S. T. Cast, F. S. Bash, and J. H. Brown, whose eiuging elicited prolonged applause. Judge Chapin then came forward and as a preface to his introduction of the speaser, alluded briefly to the organization of the Morton Club, its object and the character of its membership. referring to tho oft-repeatad assertion from Democratic sources, that it was a "silk stocking society." The working men were as numerous in its membership as the professional men, and just as welcome. General Harrison arose and was obliged to wait fully a minute for tbe applause to subside that his voice could be heard. The Senator said that when he accepted an invitation to meet with the Morton Club on this occasion he supposed it was to be simply a quiet gathering at tbe club rooms, and he had not come prepared to face so magnificent an audience, composed of the energy an intelligence of Fort WTayne. He congratulated the Morton Club on its organization, its purposes and its history. There was too much of a tendency in our politics to organize for the purpese of disorganizing, organizing for campaign purposes, then disbanding until the next campaign. Tbe Morton Ciob accomplished permanent organization, and he could say it was one of the foremost and most influential clubs in the state. His allusions to Oliver P. Morton in this connection were greeted with applause. "We are here," he said, "as factors of this government, and I hold it to be the duty of every American citizen to inform himself fully and intelligently en the Questions upon which he has to vote. I have no use for the man who considers himself too good to mingle in what he calls the 'stagnant pool of polities.' He had better come down and purify tbe pool or pray for the good Lord to send the chariot and translate him." lie said that he was proud of the State of Indiana, proud of the position she occupied among the sisterhood of States. Great in material wealth, in intelligence and patriotism. He alluded to the benevolent institutions of the State and the manner in which they have been mismanaged by Democratic officials, particularly tbe Insane Hospital at Indianapolis.closing with words, "Wherever I raise my voire I will demand thorough civil service for the benevolent institutions of Indiana. That tbe officers in charge shall toe chosen, not because they are Democrats or Republicans, but because of tieir fitness for the duties they will have to perform." He then passed on to the Democratic methods in the State, and in well chosen words denounced

the brutal and vulgar display of brute force ia tne treatment of Lieutenant-governor Roberteon. The mention of the latter s name called , forth prolonged cheers, and a voice was beard above it ail, "We're going to make him Governor." '"I bave never seen," said Senator Harrison, "anything equal to the brutal and vulgar manner in which tbat man Smith presided over the Senate of this State. I spent five minutes once on the floor cf tbe Senate, and that was ail I could stand. As I looked upon the scene I felt a homicidal mania coming over me. The voters of this congressional district repudiated Lowry and elected Captain White by an overwhelming majority, yet a Democratic committee reported in favor of depriving him of his seat, and the people of their choice. This was too much even for Tammany Hall, and one of its members lead the movement to ignore the report of the committee. The taily-sheet forgers were next handled without gloves, and then the speaker left State matters and passed into national issues. It is of vital importance to every laboring man in the country that every other working man should have tne right to vote. It was a menace to the welfare of the working men of the North if the working men of the South were not permitted to vote. It is an established fact that the workiog men of the South, a majority of them blacks, are absolutely deprived of the right to vote. At the last election in Georgia there were ten congressmen elected. In the entire State the total vote was 27,520. At the same election on the same day in the Twelfth Indiana district alone there were cast 34.478

votes, 7,000 more than in the State of Georgia. These figures told the story. The Republicans were not allowed to vote, and the Democrats knowing it did not consider it necessary. Thus tho small vote. "Democrats will call this waving the bloody shirt" said the speaker. "I don't care how bloody it is, it is the truth. I am not finding fault with the South for what it did between the years 1861 and IS60, but I am finding fault with the methods used in 1884, bv which Grover Cleveland was made President without having a majority of votes. I speak for a free, pure and honest election. He next took ud tbe tariff question and spent an hour in an able discussion of the respective positions assumed by 'the two parties. Cleveland has proclaimed the Democratic party in favor of free trade, and the Republicans ware ready and anxious to go before the people f the advocates of the protection cf American industries. What England did for Ireland, when it threw down tbe barriers of protectior, Cleveland's ideas, if adopted, will do for tbe.working men of tbis country. Cleveland declares that a protective tariff ooly benefits a few working-men in factories, but the Republican party asserts that tbe farmer and wool-grower ia benefitted as well. Ninety per cent, of the products of this country are consumed at home, and only 10 per cent, finds a foreign market. The Republican party, without prescribing a schedule, claims that the American market shall be preserved for the American workmen, and not be given over to the British workmen. After a plea for a greater spirit of liberality toward the maimed soldiers, he closed his speech amidst prolonged applause. Judge Chapin then announced tbat the glee club would sing again, after which ail were invited to assemble at the Morton club-rooms where General Harrison would be pleased to meet them, but there was a call for Colonel Robertson, so unanimous and pronounced that that gentleman was finally obliged to come forward. He made a splendid impromptu talk of a few minutes, and was cheered to the echo. The glee club then won new laurels in a lively medley and responded to an encore. Nearly all of the audience adjourned to the club-rooms, where a reception was held until midnight. All Republicans vote General Harrison's visit one of great benefit to the party for which he has done so much. KESOUECES OP THE STATE. Tho Coal-Mining" Operations Dave Been Materially Increased the Past Year. Secretary Heron, of the State Board of Agriculture, filed his annual report with the Governor yesterday. It is a comprehensive document, and will be given to the public about the middle t May. In regard to the State's prosperity, the Secretary says: "We can well repeat the assertion made in former published reports, that Indiana, in all the requisites for prosperity, stands pre-eminently in the lead, and has more of the elements necessary for great industrial development than any other State. There is the finest soiltimber, walar, stone, clays, coal, ores everything that is necessary for a great civilization. To complete the list of our advantages, as if to make us the most favored of all the States, we now have natural gas gushing forth in abundance in a large part of the State. Tbis may well be called a 'new era,' the future of which can only be conjectured." Tbe report is full of interesting material in, the way of statistics, and represents the devel opment of the State in the last year as having been steady and strong. An especially gratifying feature is the splendid showing in the way of increased efficiency among Indiana farmera New and more scientific methods are rapidly coming into use, aud this fact is having an important bearing on Indiana's agricultural standing among other States. The report shows that tbe State has nineteen ooal-nroduoing counties, over one-fifth of the whole' number Clay. Da viess, Uubois, fountain, Greene, Gibson, Knox, Martin, Owens, Perry, Parke, Pike, Sullivan. Spencer, Vigo, Vermillion, Vanderburg, Warrick and Warren. TotaL number of mines, 220; productions for tbe year 18S7, 3,217.711 tons; number of mines in 1886,- 208; production, 3.000,000 tons; increase for past year, 217,711 tons. Clay county is the largest coal-producing county, having thirty-eight mines; Gibson county -the smallest, having only three mines. There are 7,304 men employed in the mines, an increase over last year of 808. There is in tbe State 21,028,087 rods of drainage, or an average of 582 rods to the square mile. There has been nearly 2,000,000 rods put down in the past year, raiding the average per mile from 538 to 582 rods. The following counties have tbe most extensive system of drainage: Clinton. 815.908 rods; Grant, 767.979; Decatur, 729,022; Randolph, 704.102; Marion, 700.500.
