Mr. Thompson lately contributed "The Story of Louisiana" to D. Lothrop & Co.'s new series of State histories by various eminent authors. It was in writing this work that he discovered material upon which to base a romance, and he has worked it out in his well-known vein of fine description, along with exciting scenes not hitherto characteristic of his work. The first instalment of this romance will appear in the SUNDAY JOUMAL OF MARCH 3, Continuing through tlio Sundays of that Month.

THIEF WHO TRAVELED IX A TMJXK. lie rieads Insanity as a Defense and Is Found Guilty and Sent to an Asylum. CniCAGO, March 1. Thomas R. Vines, tho clerk who had himself shipped in a trunk to St. Louis with $4,002 stolen from his employers, Adams, Wcstlako & Co., was today tried for tho act. The defense was insanity. Dr. Fenger testified that, less than a year ago Vines's noso was injured in-Ti sparring match. The organ was properly dressed, but the patient seemed extremely nervous and expressed great fear that his Leauty would be forever spoiled. "Ho called on me again, said the witness, "and insisted upon my performing another operation. Ho vra.a morbidly sensitive, and it was in vain that I told him that no operation was necessary. I finally had to re-set tho nose m order to quiet him. But a short time later he again called on me and wantedmetoattendtotlio matter oncemore. He was almost insane then, and thought of nothing else but his injury. I tried to convince him that no further operation was necessary, but it was no use, and to save his mind I had to operate on him again Dr. Cleavert an insanity expert, testified that ho had visited Vines frequently in the jail, and that the young man's actions showed that ho was insane. His conduct after his injury alone tended to show this. The jury was out but a lew minutes, and returned a verdict to the effect that Vines was guilty as charged, but was insane at the time, and had not vet recovered. The court ordered that ho be sent to tho Kanka kee asylum, and kept there until cured. m Arrest of Uniberger's Supposed Mnrtlerrr. Ligoxier, Pa., March 1. Chief of Police Ilarris.of Johnstown, and a posse of deputies urrested Collins Hamilton, on the mountains, four miles east of here, about 3 o'clock this morning, on suspicion of having been one of tho parties who brutally murdered Herman Umbcrger inhishouie, last Wednesday nicht, near Jenneratown, Pa. Young Hamilton is about twenty-six years of ape, and was living with his two aunts at the toll-gate on the pike. The murderers were traced over tho snow in the direction of Hamilton's home, which led to the arrest. He ottered no resistanco when arrested. Ho was in bed, and under the pillow was found two revolvers. Tho nQicers also secured tho falso whiskers and a brown derby hat which old Mrs. Umbcrger describes. "Hamilton was placed under arrest and haudcutl'cd, and will be taken to Jenuerstown, where he will bo given a hearing before "Niutre Kanch. Other important iportant arrests will likely follow to-day.

THE LATEST CABINET SLATE

Its Completion lias Been Delayed by tho Factional Figlit in New York, But the Long-Pending Trouble Is Now Believed at an End, and the Empire State Will Be Represented by Bcnj. F. Tracy. W. II. H. Millerfor Attorney-General and Palmer for Secretary of Agriculture. The State, Treasury, War, Interior and Post office Departments Stand as Previously Announced Washington ftotes.Men Who Will Be in the Cabinet. The Journal's Washington correspondent furnishes tho subjoined list of the Harrison Cabinet: I JAMES O. BLAINE, of Maine, Secretary of State. WILLIAM WIXDOM, of Minnesota, Secretary of the Treasury. JOHN V. KOBLE, of Missouri, Secretary of the Interior. JOHN WANAMAKER, of Pennsylvania, Post-mastcr-ffenerul. BED FIELD PROCTOR, of Vermont, Secretary of War. BENJAMIN F. TRACY, of Xew York, Secretary of the Navy. W. II. II. MILLER, of Indiana, Attorney-peneral. THOMAS W. PALMER, ol Michigan, Secretary of Agriculture. THE HARRISON CABINET. Its Completion Delayed by the Factional Quarrel Among: th New Yorkers. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, March 1. New York continues to make a dead-lock in the construction of General Harrison's Cabinet. The situation in respect to tho Empire- State has not changed during tho past twentyfour hours, aud if the slate given in these dispatches last night was duplicated now, it would fit the situation as nearly as possible. General Harrison said this evening that ho did .not believe tho factions in New York would agree upon any one man; that if the State is given a place, ho himself, at the last moment, would have to make the selection upon his own responsibility. and without the assitanco of those who should extend assistance. Both Piatt and Miller are regarded as entirely without the pale of Cabinet possibilities. The friends of one will not only not indorse the other, but they refuse to indorse, as a body, anyone otherthan their first choice. Messrs. Blaine, Windoin, Noble, Proctor and Wannaniaker remain fixed and certain, while Mr. Swift, of California, is still a probability for the Navy Department and Senator Palmer for the Agricultural Department, and the President-elect is trying to find a good man from New York to bo his Attorney-general. If the New York people wero able to agree upon anybody the Uabinet could be completed almost instantly, but nei ther Mr. Swift nor Mr. Palmer i will be fastened down, neither will be tendered the positions to which they have been informally assigned until the New York controversy is settled, and there does not 6oem to bo any immediate : prospect of such a result. Senator J. Sloat Fassett, of New York, a member of the national commit tee, who is Mr. Piatt's next friend, left Washington this morning for New York, and will report in person to his principal all that has occurred in Washington and ask for further instructions, which he is expected to return with to-morrow morning, until he comes back the relation of New York to tho Cabinet will remain in statu quo. It docs not look as if Mr. Piatt's friends desired a New Yorker in the Cabinet, now that they are convinced -that their leader cannot have a jdace. He is represented here by the professional poli- f ticiansofNew York Mr. Vassett, General Knapp, Clinton McDougall and others who make politics a business, while the op-4 position to Mr. Piatt appears in tho persons of such leading citizens as John P. Plum-' mer, CoL Legrand B. Cannon, Col. S. Van-; Kensselaer Cruger, KlihuKoot, Gen. Daniel1 Butterlield. William L. Strong. A. K. Whit-! ney, Cornelius N. Bliss, Charles Watrons and Daniel K. James all Union League' men. Mr. Elkins and Mr. Blaine have been' thought to be for Mr. Piatt, but the' most active and exhaustive search fails to disclose anything that has been done by: eitherof them in his behalf. In fact, 'ho' Piatt men now hint that Elkins has betrayed them. Mr. Morton, tho Vice-presi-' dent-elect, stands between the two factions, but a little nearer to Piatt than to Miller, and General Harrison sends word through Mr. Morton that he could not appoint either Mr. Piatt or Mr. Miller, and. that he would not appoint the candidate oj any faction: that unless New York republicans could agree upon some man, he would have to omit that State entirely from his Cabinet, and ho desired them to submit to him tho names of. several gentlemen, not wishing to be tied to one or two. While ho could not say which position he would assign to New. York, he suggested that the gentlemeu, whoso names wero to be submitted for his. consideration be submitted with reference to their fitness for the Navy Department or the Department of Justice. Tho Miller men submitted the names of - Cornelius Nil Bliss, the well-known merchant, of the wholesale firm of Bliss, Fabyau & Co.; Mr.: Elihu Hoot, one of tho leading attorneys of Now lork; Judge Darnels, a member of tho Court of Appeals, and Clarence Seward, tho son of Lincoln's Secre-. tary of State, and formerly a law nartner of Koscoe Conkling. Mr. Platt'a iriends snbmit only one name, that of Win. H. Soward, jr., tho latter a brother of Clarence, who is a banker at Auburn, N. Y. Neither of tho factions would indorse the names submitted by the other, and thai contest nnanv narroweu tiown to 3ir. Cornelius N. Bliss, who is recommended bv the Miller men for Secretary of tho Navy., anu ;ur. v. ii.oewaru.wno is recommenuea by tho Piatt men for the same position. General Harrison has intimated very plainly that he cannot appoint Mr. Seward, because that gentleman is a bnsiness associate of Mr. Piatt and one of his most intimate friends; therefore, Seward's name is scratched off the list, and Fassett has gone to New York to rcceivo instructions for future action. Mr. Bliss would make an excellent Secretary of the Navy. His bnsiness ability is uuuuestioned, and he stand as hich as any merchant in New York. He is a man of great wealth and liberality, has a social disposition, and would, if appointed, entertain as elegantly during tho next fourvears as Secretary Whitney has dunng theVast. The Piatt men will never indorse Mr. Bliss's anpointmentnbut it is visible that General Harrison may nominate him anyhow. It is more probable, however, that New York will bo passed over altogether, for it is believed that Mr. Piatt, feeling himself certain of being appointed collector of the port of Now York, will decline to recommend anybody, and would rather have New York omitted from the Cabinet if he cannot go in himself. But, however the matter ends, tho New York Republicans are in a mess, and their situation is growing worse, instead of better, every day. How the List Stood Last Night. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Washington. March 1. Tho Cabinet slate to-night stands: IUalne, Secretary of State. Wtndom, secretary of the Treasury. Proctor, Secretary of War. B.F.Tracy, of Kew York, Secretary of the Navy. Noble, of Missouri, Secretary of the Interior. nnamaker, Postmater-ceueral. Miller, of Indiana, Attomev-gcucral. Palmer, Secretary of Agriculture. It was stated to-night by Senator Ilia-

cock that tho New York men had agreed to unite upon Mr. Tracy, and that ho was on his way to Washington. Mr. Arkell, the proprietor of Judge, the. cartoon naper, has about similar information, ami it is pretty generally understood around the hotel lobbies that Tracy will be the man. Still, no authorized announcement can be made. As far as I can learn, certain members of the New York factions suggested Mr. Tracy to General Harrison, and. knowing him byreputation, the President-elect thought favorably of the suggestion. He authorized a telegram to be sent to Mr. Tracy asking him to come to Washington, and will interview him to-morrow. Whether the Navy Department will bo tendered Tracy or not is impossible to say, but it is not unlikely. Indiana people say to-night that W. II. H. Miller will be Attorney-general, and the Californians are satisfied that Mr. Swift cannot be a member of the Cabinet, nor do they expect the appointment of any man from the coast. Miller is said to be only a probability la case General Harrison fails to find a better man for that place. While Palmer appears to be the most likely selection for the Agricultural Department, General Harrison has been considering the names of several other gentlemen in that connection who have not been mentioned heretofore. Among others, James Wilson, of Iowa, who was a member of Congress for several terms, the chairman of the committee on agriculturo in the House, and is not. only a highly cultivated and broad-minded statesman, but a practical agriculturist. Upon retirement from Congress ho took up farming as a business, and is 6till engaged in it in Iowa. He also has been considering the claims of a Mr. liingham, of Ohio not John A. Bingham, the ex-Congressman and ex-minister to Japan, but a wealthy farmer of that State whose name was suggested to him by personal friends. TIIE PUBLIC DEBT.

An Increase of 80,000,000 Dnrlngr February, Caused by Tension Payments. Washington, March 1. The public debt, according to the statement issued from the Treasury Department, has increased $0,443,S34 during the past month. Unusually heavy pension payments, amounting to $20,014,054, are assigned as the chief reasons for an increase instead of decrease in tho debt, since Feb. 1. The net cash or surplus in the Treasury his decreased about seventeen millions during the month, and to-day amounts to $43,096,158. National bank depositories to-day hold $4S,818,991 of government funds, or about ono million and a half less than on Feb. 1 The gold fund balance in tho Treasury has increased about $2,000,000, during tho past month, and to-day amounts to $100,245,080, and the silver fund balance, exclusive of six millions in trade-dollar bullion, has increased two millions and a half, and now amounts to $21,504,005. Government receipts during February past were $30,133,150, against $31,151,031 in February, 1888. Nthe decrease being due to diminished customs receipts, which this year, in February, were $18,708.037, against Sl9,G01,0o4 in February, 1888. Expenditures (luring the past month wero unusually large, owing to heavy pension payments, and amounted to $33,780,517, or about 614,000,000 moro than in February, 18S8. The total receipts and expenditures for the first eight months of the current fiscal year, compared with the corresponding months of the previous year, were as follows: Kecelpts, 1833 $254,3G0,915 Kxuendltures 183,446,029 liecelpts, 1839 255,210,423 Expenditures 222,434,625 This shows an increase in receipts for the eight months of the current year over those e i i ji ; oi ino corresponuiug penon oi me previous fiscal year of about $1,000,000. and. on the other hand, an increase of $30,000,000 in expenditures so far this year over expenditures for the eight months of last year. MINOR MATTERS. Republicans Decline to Approve the Oates I Naturalization II III. TTASniXGTON, March 1. Representative Seney, on behalf of himself and Messrs. Collins, of Massachusetts, and Buckalew, to-day submitted, from the committee on the judiciary, a minority report on the naturalization bill introduced last month by Representative Oates. The report cites the provisions of the present laws on the subject, and says there is no necessity for making any chango. Tho report proceeds to discuss the bill, and says that obviously its intent is to discourage the immigration of aliens into this country, and the minority thinks there can bo no doubt that if the bill be enacted into a law, it will operate in manycases, as a denial of citizenship to aliens.- The report argues that no part of our adult male population ought to owe allegiance to any foreign power. The report, in conclusion, says: "Believing, as wo do, that the highest and best interests of our country will be subserved if the existing law.' respecting tho naturalization of aliens is not disturbed, we are unwilling to co-operate with the majority of the committee in their etl'orts to chango its provis ions.

To-night there is a lively crowd of Hoosiers about the Indiana headquarters, which were to-day opened at tho Metropolitan noteL It is a regular reunion and a meeting of friends. Dr. W. P Johnson and Col. J. A. Bridglaud arrived by an early train and were met by Gen. James R. Carnahan. These threo gentlemen constitute the committee, and they immediately went to work looking after the comfort of the Indiana visitors in the eitv. They had their hands full, for the corridors of the hotel were crowded all day long, and every train from tho west brought more. To-morrow tho veterans of General Harrison's old regiment, the Seventieth Indiana, will arrive: they will be comniauded by Colonel Merrill, and will number 100. Arrangements for the Indiana people who will take part in tho parade ou Monday are being pcrleeted by the committee at the headouarters to-niuht. Keen disappoint ment is felt over the failure of the decora-

He was not in a good humor over the ontlook in the Dudley "blocks of five" letter case, testimony in which is being taken here. As Judge Claypool was paying his hotel bill he observed to a friend that tho pro secution seemed to be at the end of its rope, meaning that tho case had practically fallen through. Tho tables have very materially turned in this case, and instead of Colonel Dudley being required, as tho public generally 'believes, to defend himself from criminal indictment, heis pushing vigorously those who have libeled him. It i ii i . , ... i in jb neuerauv oeiieveu nere mai xuero win be nothinc more come of the -threatened prosecution of Dudley, while the outlook lor the libel suits grows brighter. General Ilrowne'i Correspondence. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, March 1. General Browno is receiving so many applications every day for postofhees and other otlicial positions that he is compelled to content himself with simply classifying and tiling them, and attending to the applications in their various forms without answering them, as has been his custom. It has for somo time required the entiro time of a stenographer to answer his letters, and now the General finds tho volume so great that it will be impossible to answer those who simply send applications for office. His correspondents may rest assured, however, that their applications will receive the same prompt attention that they would if the applicants wero notified of the receipt of their requests. General Notes. Washington, March l.The Secretary of the Treasury to-day accepted $313,000 registered 4 1-2 per cent, bonds at $1.08 The President held his last public recep tion this afternoon. Over two thousand persons called, most of whom were ladies, and the reception lasted more than an hour. A SURPLUS OF GOVERNORS. West Virginia Is to Enjoy the Distinction of Possessing Three of These Officials. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Charleston, March 1. President Carr, of the State Senate, has employed Judge Ferguson as his counsel, aud, on Monday, will qualify as Governor of the State. General Golf will arrive to-morrow or Sun day, and he will, of course, also qualify, while Governor Wilson is equally determined to hold on to his offico until the contest is decided. Thus, West Virginia is to enjoy the unprecedented distinction of having three Governors, all at once. Governor Wilson and General Goflf have agreed to leave tho matter to the Supreme Court as to who has a right to occuyy the Governors seat pending tho contest, thus avoiding a resort to military interference, but what the eccentric Carr is to do is something no man can telL Judge Ferguson states it as his opinion that it was the duty of the , Legislature to de clare tne result lor uovernor but as it failed in this. Goff has no legal crrounds unon which to qualify, aud as Wilson cannot i.i.i ii. , i .1 m. e -y. t j. A assume the duties. Judge Maxwell, the Republican leader in the Legislature, said to-dav that the fact that the Legislature failed to perform its sworn duty does not invalidate (loirs claim, since the certificates from every county show him electod, and it is his duty to qualify as Governor. r Losses bj Fire. Special to the Imlianapoils Journal. Sourn Bknd. Ind.. March l.A disastrous fire here, last niirht, resulted in almost the total destruction of tho Itoper furniture factory, recently purchased by James and Georo Alward. The building was one of the largest, as well as the oldest in the city, oeiug me iirsu iurnuure iaciory operated here. The loss on stock and machinery will probably reach 5.000, with an insurance of $3,500. The building was owned by ex-Mayor Miller, whose loss will be about tho same, with about 3,000 insurance. Deadwood. Dale.. March 1. Fire this morning destroyed tho reduction works. There was more than $10,000 in sulphides, in tne tanks, a part ot wnicn will be saved. The most of tho machinery is ruined.

The credit ors are nearly all Boston narties. Mr. Gould says tne unsecured indebtedness is but a few thousand dollars. He savs tho causes leading to the failure were defalca tions and unauthorized losses in previous years in the firm's Brazilian house, and un authorized dratts Iroin China correspondents, which the firm had honorably met. in tho hands of innocent holders; also, losses by failures in the trade, and by shrinkage oi stocks.

THE nOJIE-KVXE QUESTION. Mr. Gladstone Again Discusses the Issn and Paruell Follows with a Strong Speech. London, March 1. In tho House of Com mons, this evening, Mr. Gladstone resumed tho debate on tho address in reply to tho Queen's speech. He held that there wero three main issues raised in the amendment under discussion. The House was called upon entirely to disclaim the present administration of tho Irish government; it was asserted that to this system was duo the aversion of the people to Great Britain; and finally, tho House was asked to adopt measures of conciliation. They owed an apology to the peoplp of Ireland for allowing the great question of the domestic government of their country to remain unintroduced in the present Parliament. Still, tho Liberals were tolerably well satisfied with the progress of tho question in tho . favor of the country. Cheers. 1 Mr. Chamberlain told them that the measures of local government for Ireland must not be indefinitely postponed. That meant that iu some future Parliament, possibly, gentled mencalUng themselves Liberal Unionists might incline to look tip to an Irish government. At present tho votes of that portion of the House were of importance as the mainstay of tho government's policy. Regarding their votes in tho next Parliament, ho would not refer to any one in particular, least of all to Mr. Chamberlain; but, speaking simply of tho seventy members now converting tho Tory minority into a majority, he regarded their votes iu the coming Parliament as of small impor tance. Cheers. It was said that tho present government of Ii eland would have been remarkably successful but for the dilllculities placed in tho way in connection with the land question. Who placed them thereT Why, Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Hartington and their friends. They created tho land difficulties, and when the efiects of tho prevailing distress became patent they obstinately refused to deal with them. This refusal was followed by the "Plan of Campaign." It was the direct and necessary offspring of their policy. Ho had never vindicated breaches of law iu any shape, but ho must say there are many cases in which the law-makers were more resposiuie man ine law-breakers, and this was ono of them. Cheers. The government continued to declare their anxiety to settle the land question; yet, with a large majority behind them, Mr. Chamberlain appealed toOiim to propound a scheme for tho settlement of the question. He, then, was a person 60 happy as to possess tho political confidence of his opponent. Laughter and applause. The responsibility for the delay iu coming to a settlement must rest upon the majority in power. The refusal to produce a measure would tend still further to expose tho utter hollo wness of the Conservative assurauces in regard to Ireland and the? real determination of the majority to do nothing to ameliorate tho condition of tho Irish people. Cheers. J Mr. Gladstono proceeded to show from the results of tho bye elections that the opinion of the country was turning to homo rule. He next contested the assertion that the improving condition of Ireland was due to the administration of the government, expressing surprise that the increase in agricultural values was put to the credit of the government. Referring to the Pamellite prisoners he denounced tne uegraumg narcLsnips icu anu tne perKonal indiiruities they suffered. He denied that the treatment of political prisoners. under tho Liberal government, was similar. No former government. Liberal or Conservative, had given imprisoned political men snch usages. Cheers. Mr. Balfour's plea that tho treatment of prisoners could not be altered without an alteration of tho rules bevond his power was ludicrous. The plain truth was,. the present treatment of prisoners was part or a nysiem oi extremo repression. Why ought not tho Con servatives to realize, like the. Liberals, that the anti-national system in Ireland constitutedauimminet danger to union! Cheers. He proceeded to give a glowing account of the progress of Ireland under Drummoud, from 18155 to 1810, contrasting it with tho regime or lialtour. lie ueciarea mat the breach between the people and tho government was now widening, and that the confidence of the people in the law, and in tile auminisiraiion in mo law, was unpaired, and must go. Cheers. Ireland was now governed in conllict with fivesixths of her representatives in Parliament, oue-fourth of whom it had been necessary to send to prison, which, through the action of the government, became temples of honor. In conclusion Mr. Gladstone said: To continue tho state of things under which so many representatives of this Houe ar placed under a ban of proscription is impossible. You may deprive of its grace and freedom the act you are asked to do. but avert it 3-ou cannot. Prolonged cheers. To prevent tho consummation of it is utterly beyond your rowr. It RfciiisTo DDnroiicn at an accel erated rate, but, come slower or quicker, it is surely coining, and many oi you wno have opposed it must already see in the handwriting on the wall signs of tho com ing doom." I Cheers. I Mr. (JoHchen, Chancellor ot tneixcneqner, denied that the covernnient desire to de lay the extension of local government in Ireland. What right, ho asked, had Mr. Gladstone to presume that it would not bo dealt with by the present Parliament? When the itimo was opportune the government would be ready to grapple wita tho difficulties. Ho was hopeful of better success than that which attended Mr. Gladstone's proposals. Mr. Parnell. upon rising to tpeaic. waj greeted with enthusiastic cheers, all tho members of the opposition, including Mr. Gladstone, rising in their places and wav ing their hats. Mr. Parnell said ne uesire.i i nlVr si f.v words of KViiifathv to thos of his colleagues and friends who had suffered by tho pnm iples adopted oy tne Chief Hoeretarv for Ireland. He Mr. Parnell) believed" they would bo richly rewarded in the'near future by attaining the object they had at heart. Mr. Balfour had tried to degrade them, but- they were not degraded, either in their own opinion or ia the opinion of their countryman. Circumstances had been favorable to Mr. Balfour in the rise of agricultural prices, aud but for an exceptional law, Ireland would, ho believed, have beentrauquil. The government were responsible foi and must stand or fall by the results ot that law. He would not stop to discuss th conspiracy which had assisted the Ministers, on the very ni xht of tho second reading, to steal awav the liberties of Ireland, Loud cheers.l He thought less of the suffering of O'Brien and Redmond than of tin suffering of the humbler men. The authorities did not dare to kill O'Brien; but men like Mandeville might be done to death in carrying out their system. (Renewed cheers. If Major Sauuderson had got his f0.000 men in the field they would not long remain there. Laughter.) There was no example in history of a largo section of people
