made to reconsider the vote by. which tho nomination of Andrew Carnegie was confirmed, but only six or eight Senators voted for it. In tho course of the session efforts were made to remove the injunctions of secrecy from the votes on the motions to confirm the nomination of Whitelaw Reid to be minister to France, and of Murat Halstead to be minister to Germany, but they wero unsuccessful. The further consideration of the extradition treaty with Russia was postponed until the next session of Congress. . The calendar of nominations shows that those of Edwin I. Kersheadt to be United States marshal for the Eastern district of Louisiana, and of Wm. II. Whiteman to be associate justice of the United States Court in New Mexico, were the most prominent of those that failed of confirmation. Offices Yet to lie Filled. Washington, April 2. -There are a number of important offices yet to bo filled by 4 nomination of the President and appointment by heads of departments. Those include the following: Justice of the Supreme Court, Solicitor-general. Commissioner of the General Land Office, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Public Printer, Superintendent of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, minister to Germany, minister to China, consuls-general to Liverpool and Paris and all the consulates, the officers of the District of Columbia, including two commissioners, marshal, recorder of deeds and register of wills; two civil-service and one Interstate-commerce Commissioner, local officers at New York and Philadelphia, postmasters, collectors and surveyors of the port, etc. This list is sufficient to keep tho place-hunters in Washington for several weeks yet, and they will be accompanied by Senators and Representatives who are not satisfied to leave the selection of the fortunate nominees to tho executive department without their advice and suggestion. To-day's developments indicate that the office of PubHe Printer will be bestowed upon none of the gentlemen who have been so far named in connection with it. Indiana Postmasters. S&cliil to the Inrtianaoolis Journal. Washington, April 2. Indiana postmasters were appointed, to-day, as follows: Agnes Kingery, at Bentley, Fayette county, vice I. F. Truster, resigned; John A.

Senator Teller A grain Declares in Favor of Consideration in Open Session. Washington, April 2. Senator Teller's proposition to abolish secret sessions of the Senate for the consideration of presidential nominations, while not the direct outgrowth of the reports published of the debate on the nomination of Murat Halstead to be minister to Germany, was suggested by them. The proposition of Senator Teller differs from that made by Senator Piatt, of Connecticut at the opening of the Fiftieth Congress, in that it proposes that only nominations shall be considered with open doors, while the Tlatt resolution proposed to abolish executive sessions for any . and all purposes except when, by specific mention, it might be agreed that the doors 6hould be closed. Republican Senators say there would have been favorable action taken on the Piatt resolution had it not been for the recent eccentric work of Senator Riddleberger, which was incompatible with the interests of the proposition. Senator Teller, when asked by an Associated Press reporter, to-day, as to the outlook for his resolution, said': Th3re is no doubt in my mind that it will Le adopted. So far as I can see. there is very little objection now to the consideration of Presidential nominations in open session. I don't believe a word was uttered for or against the confirmation of Mr. Halstead that those who spoke would object to have published broadcast, if for no other reason to avoid the misrepresentations being made as to the motives which prompted Senators to vote for or against him. Strong arguments can be presented against the confirmation of treaties in open session, but I cannot see why any fair, and courageous man shonld object to open sessions . for the consideration of nominations. For one, I will say nothing in executive session afiecting a man's character which I would not say openly. 'The public service cannot be impaired in the slightest by the adoption of my proposition, and I shall push it to a determination at the opening of .the regular session of the Senate. I am confident the masses of the people are in favor of it, and I am equally confident, in view of the publications during the past week, that a majority of the Senators will vote for it." THE SENATE AND JOI1N BRIGHT. Prolonged Discussion Over a Resolution Expressing Sorrow at Ills Death. Washington, April 2. After the presentation of two memorials, one in favor of special privileges in regard to public office for honorably discharged Union soldiers, and the other against traffic in intoxicating liquors, the Vice-president laid before the Senate Mr. Stewart's resolution expressing the profound sorrow of the Senate at tho death of Mr. John Bright. Mr. Sherman suggested that the resolution had better be referred to the committee on foreign relations, as its adoption might establish a precedent that would return to plague the Senate. Mr. nawley remarked that no such occasion was likely to arise again. If the United States had ever had a friend in time of need, that friend was John Bright. Mr. Hoar thought that in this particular case the Senate was safe, as it was not at all likely that a state of things would again arise that would establish between the United States aud a citizen of a foreign country the peculiar relations of respect on one side and of tender, grateful atfec tion on the other that existed in this coun try toward the great English statesman who had just gone to his tomb. With tho possible exception of Lafayette, there was no otber citizen or a foreign country for whose memory the American people on. tertaiued so strong an attachment. This country had been engaged in a struggle for its life, the Republic, the Constitution, constitutional liberty, freedom not of one Tace. but of tho common People of everv race had been in issue and at stake in tho great struggle of twenty-five years ago. If there was any people from whom the United States might have hoped for sym pathy in that areaUlUl contest, it was the English people, from whom the American people naa derived tneir language, their institutions, their laws and their principles of constitutional liberty. And yet, with scarcely an exception, the great statesmen of England: her men of letters; her men of rank the men who were leaders in her social life manifested unmis takably their sympathy with the rebellion and their exultation at the nrosnect that the great Republic was approaching its end. It was the voice ana influence of John Bright which aroused the sentiment of the common people of the laboring men of Great Britain to the mistake which her leader were making, and proauceu a stare or public leeiing which made Eufflish intervention in behalf of iIiata. bellion impossible. There were few liner utterances in all literature; few nobler and more stimulant utterances in the eloquence of constitutional liberty than those magnificent sentences of John Bright, in which he pictured the future of the United States and its relations to the future hopes of humanity. The Senator from Ohio, Mr. Hoar inougui, raigm noi iear mat the precedent to be established bv tho resolution would return to troublo either of them during the period of their tmblic , Tissa. He lioned that tlio motion to re

fer would be withdrawn, and that the resolution would be adopted.

Mr. Sherman, while yielding to no one in respect for Mr. Bright, was opposed to tho example which the resolution would set. but he would oner no obstacle to it, ana would withdraw the motion to refer. Mr. Keacan referred to the false step taken by the House of Representatives some years ago in passing a resolution complimentary to a member of the German Keichstag, and having it returned disdainfully by Prince Bismarck. He thought that the pending resolution would establish a bad precedent, under which the Senate might hereafter be asked to adopt resolu tions of regret whenever a foreign states man or revolutionist might die. He there fore renewed Mr. Sherman's motion toreter the resolution to the committee on foreign relations. Mr. Stewart opposed the reference of the resolution and favored its adoption. He eulogized the character of Mr. Bright as a leader among men, not by inheritance of rank, but by right of great natural endowments and high moral integrity, his public life for nearly half a century naving been conspicuous in heroic efforts to remedy ancient abuses. Mr. Hawley said that the incident to which Mr. Keagan referred differed in all respects from the case of Mr. Bright In that caso the person commended had been engaged in a bitter ccntroversy with the German government, and tho House had directed a copy of the resolution to be sent to that government. In this case there was no such proposition. It was nothing to the Senate whether anybody thought of John Bright as the Senate did. But as a matter of fact, whatever there was of good in the British nation, of all Sarties, had borne testimony to Mr. right's great worth. Ho was sorry to see any difference of opinion as to the resolution, although ho was aware that that difference did not attach to the merits of the great man. Mr. Evarts remarked that the discussion had nothing to do with thecharacter of Mr. Bright, but only with the formality of the Senate's proceedings. The question was taken on Mr. Reagan's motion to refer the resolution to the committee on foreign relation, and it was 60 referred. The Vice-president As the present occupant of the chair is about to vacate tho chair for the remainder of the session, ho desires to avail himself of this opportunity to express his grateful appreciation of the courtesy and consideration which he has received from every member of this body. He desires also to express the hope that he shall find, at the next session of the Senate, every Senator in his seat, in goodhealth, and that he 6hall then have an opportnnity to resume and continue the agreeable relations already established. Mr. Edmunds then ofTered a resolution that in the absence of the Vice-president, Mr. Ingalls be chosen President of the Senate pro tern. The resolution was put by the Secretary and agreed to without division, and then Mr. Ingalls, escorted by Mr. Edmunds, had the oath of office administered to him by the Secretary, and took the chair, expressing at the same time his grateful acknowledgments to the Senate for the renewed expression of its confidence. The Senate then, at 1:50, proceeded to consideration of executive business. At 3:40, on motion of Mr. Cameron, the Senate adjourned sine die. 3 LINO It MATTERS. Instances Showing that It Is Sometimes Advisable to Move Slowly. Washington, April 2. The Department of State has been informed by the United States secretary of legation at St. Petersburg that he has already requested the Russian government to investigate the case of Kempinski, said to be a naturalized American- citizen, who was exiled to Siberia by the Russian authorities upon his return to Russia. It has been reported at the department that Kempinski was eighteen or nineteen years of age when he left Russia for tho United States. While the department will investigate the case thoroughly, there is said to bo need for caution, for, with this statement of the caso. it may appear that Kempinski was eligible for military service, and that his emigration to the United States was nothing less than a military desertion. The need for deliberate action in such cases is exemplified in the case of Count Cypriaui, about which the press was much disturbed a year ago. It was asserted that the count, an American citizen, had returned to Italy onlv to be seized and thrown into a dungeon. Careful inquiry by the Department of State revealed that Count Cypriani was not an American citizen; that hewas,not in an Italian dungeon, and that he did not return to Italy, but stopped at Corsica on hearing that he was liable to arrest if he did return. Last week the Count took out his naturalization papers, and is now an American citizen. 3Ir. Rntterwortli's Philosophy. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, April 2. Ohio Republicans in Congress are beginning to grow philo sophical and good-natured over the fact that they have not succeeded in securing, so far, as many appointments as some oth ers. Representative Butterworth was at the White House to day, with Prof. Chas. W. Bell, of Cincinnati, a prominent col ored man, who wants to go as minister to Liberia. After emerging from tho execu tive mansion he stood under the portico in front and philosophized in this manner: "Yes, Ohio will get some places by and I Tl J. 1.1 . 1. t uy. aiiw irouuio is wo nave ueeu impatient. We have sown an immense quantitv of seed, but it was all done in the dark, and up to tho present time we have not discov ered whether it struck good soil or went to waste in stony ground. We would proba bly have fared better in Ohio had it not been for tho prolusion of good material. Y e bad so many hrst-class men up as can didates that they were hard to select from. The President's eye tired of gazing at such a huge bed of jacqueminots, so ho went off into some of the neighboring patches and piucKeu uaisies auu otuer less valuable, but more numuio noral beauties.77 The Famous Am merman Pension Case. Washington, April 2. Assistant Secre tary Bnssey, of the Interior Department, has rendered a decision in what is known as the Ammerman pension case, in which he overrules that of his predecessor, Judge Hawkins. The question in tho caso was whether or not the claimant was in the lino of his duty when he received his injuries. Ammerman was a soldier in one of the Ohio regiments, aud one day in the fall of 1803 was standing in front of his tent. Several of the men were engaged in a general frolic near by, and one of them, leaving the others, came to Ammerman and engaged hira in conversation. While his attention was thus attracted, another kneeled down behind, and his comrade pushed the soldier backward, after the fashion of small boys. .Ammerman DroKe several oones arouna nis shoulders, and since then has been suffering great bodily injuries. Assistant Secretary Bussey reversed the ruling of the offico in this cas and ordered the claim of Am merman admitted. Ammerman, it is said. win now receive a large DacK pension. Important Pension Ruling. Washington. April 2. Commissioner Tanner, of the Pension Bureau, with the approval of the Secretary of the Interior, has issued the following ruling: Pursuant to the act of Confess approved March 1, 18S9, whenever a pension certlticate of any cuaractcr onjaual, increase, restoration, arrears, or otherwise shall have been Issued by this bureau and the beneficiary mentioned therein Is found to have rtled before payment, the amount duo ou said certificate to the date of aid pensioner's death will be paid to the widow of such pen sioner. If there be no widow, then Paid amount will be paid to the mlnorchild or children of said deceased pensioner. If there be neither widow nor minor children, then the amount due aid deceased pensioner will, in the discretion of the Secretary of the Interior, be paid to the executor or administrator of his estate. Minor children. as contemplated br this act. are minors recognized as such by the law of the locaUty in which the pensioner lived. Delay In Issuing Commissions. Special to the Indljuiaituli.t Journal. Washington', April 2. Postmaster-gen eral Wanamaker said to-day, to a Con gressman who called to have a number of Democratic postmasters removed, that there had been so many removals made during the past month that tho clerks who make out the commissions were two weeks behindhand with their work. Complaints are coining from all parts of the country

because commissions have not been issued to the new postmasters. The Postmasterceneral save that nnless there can be a new

assignment of clerks made to take charge of the issuance of commissions and the bonds of new and old postmasiers, a lull in changes must take place in order that tho department may catch up with its work. Senator Gorman's Brother Dismissed. Special tolhe Indianapolis Journal. Washington, April 2. The first Democratic office-holder turned out in Maryland under this administration, aud the first change of any importance made by the Treasury Department in tho field since the 4th of March, was in the dismissal of Calvin Gorman, who was a special inspector of the fraud division. Gorman is a brother of Senator Gorman, the great Democratic boss of Maryland, and the dismissed officeholder and the Senator were at the department to-day trying to prevail upon Secretary Windoin to rescind the order which made the vacancy. The Secretary refused to comply with the request, and Senator Gorman is very angry. lteceptlon at the White House. Washington, April 2. The President gave a special reception at the White House, from 9 to 11 o'clock this evening, in honor of Prince and Princess Takehaits, of Japan. The President was assisted in receiving by Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. McKee and the ladies of the Cabinet. The parlors were profusely decorated with palms and evergreens, and a great variety of early spring flowers. Secretary Blaine introduced the members of the diplomatic corps and Colonel Wilson made the other presentations. The Marino baud played a number of musical selections, including several Japanese national airs. Indiana Patents. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, April 2. Patents were to day issued for Indiana inventors as follows: Deeds, John B., assignor to R. II. Catlin, Terre Haute, asbestos packing and treating asbestos; Kehler, Amos, Warsaw, split-band pulley: Emmie, David, Fort Wayne, brick kiln; Kaab, Peter, near Iudiananlis. roadscraper; Kussel, Allen A., Inndianapolis, assignor to Kussell & Co., Massillon, O., straw-stacker. General Notes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, April 2. General Browne will leave for his home at Winchester on Thursday. Secretary Windom to-day promoted John J. Hawkins, of Portland, Jay county, to be chief the judiciary divison. First Auditor's office, with compensation at the rate of 2,000 a year. Mr. Hawkins was reduced under President Cleveland from $1,400 to 1,200, on account of his ardent Republicanism. He has been in the office for twentytwo years, and is one of the most efficient officers in the department. Gen. George B. Williams, formerly of Lafayette, was elected president of the Jefferson Club last evening, to succeed Stilson Hutchins, who resigned upon his departuro for Europe. - The changes in the offices of Treasurer and assistant treasurer at New York will necessitate a count of all the moneys and securities in both offices. This is a work of great magnitude, and will take at least lonr weeks to accomplish. The bonds of Treasurer Hyatt and Assistant Treasurer McCne will hold until the count is completed and their accounts aro settled. Tho appointees, Mr. Huston and Air. Roberts, will assume their new duties, however, as soon as their bonds have been approved. The special Senate committee on relations with Canada, charged with the duty of making an investigation of the commercial features on the subject, will meet in Chicago for this purpose May 3 and thence take a trip, probably, over the Northern and Canadian Pacific railroads. The members of the committee are Senator Hoar, chairman; Allison, Hale, Dolph, Pugh, Butler and Voorhees. The State Department has been officially informed that Sir Julian Pauncefote, tho new British minister to tho United States, will sail for New York on the 13th instant. The bond offerings received at the Treas-1 nry Department were as follows: Coupon 4 per ceuts., at $1.80; coupon four-ana-a-halfs, $2,000 at 81.08; registered four-and-a-halfs, $05,000 at 1.08; $100,000 four-and-a-halfs, registered, at 1.08. All tho four-and-a-half per cents, were accepted. Jacob H. Dimmick, postage-stamp agent at New York city, has been removed for neglect of his official duties. Capt. Henry Wilson, United States navy, has been placed on the retired list. A statement prepared at tho Treasury Department shows that there was a net increase of $2,275,780 in circulation during the month of March and a net decrease of $30,OtVj in money and bullion in the Treasury during the same period. The increase in circulation was mainly insilver certificates and United States notes. The total circulation, April 1, is stated at .1,408,481,676, and the total money and bullion in tho Treasury; on the same date at $657,815.2SC This afternoon Secretary Windom received an oiler to sell $2,000,000 four-percent, bonds to the government at 1.09 1-4. It was not accented. John H. Bullock has been appointed store-keeper at Franklin, Tenn., and R. O. Davis store-keeper and gaugcr at Cochran, Tenn. It is believed that appointments will be made now faster than when the Senate was in session. While there have been so many Congressmen here laboring with the President and his Cabinet officers the latter have not had time to sit down and Teach conclusions. The wonder is that time has been found for tho appointment of any one. This evening's Critic says: "Mr. J. R. McKee, the. President's son-in-law, who has been on a visit to Indianapolis, returned to the White House this morning, and was warmly greeted by the attaches, with whom he has uecomo a great favorite." Russell Harrison, with whom the atmosphere of the White House seems to agree perfectly, said this morning that, although sorry to leave Washington, his stay would be cut short in a week or so. His interests in Montana require his personal supervision, but he will probably leave his wife at the capital. The Minneapolis Wheat Steal. Minneapolis. April 2. The Union elevator wheat steal fiasco, which caused so much excitement last fall, is revived by the riling of tho company's answer in W. C. Harley's $50,000 damage suit. It will bo remembered that Harley was the first man arrested in the case, and that he was dismissed because the company could not make technical proof of the theft of tho wheat. In the answer the charge of the larceny of 50,000 bushels of wheat is renewed, and it is stated that on Sent. 19, 1888, Harley acknowledged to Mr. Holmes and others that he had ueeu a party to a conspiracy which did a systematic stealing of wheat from the elevator, and that all oi the proceeds from the sale of the wheat had been received by Harley and that he had distributed among tho conspirators, including himself, their proportions of the proceeds. The defendants then state how they happened to withdraw the original complaint against Harley. They claim that when he was arrested he besought them for the sake of his family to change the complaint so he could get bail. They accordingly swore out a second warrant charging him with the larceny of only 1,500 bushels of wheat and he obtained bail in the sum of $1,000. Mason was arrested and arraigned, but the court held that the previous confession could uot be received in evidence until the larceny of the wheat had been proven. Mason was discharged, and after Iiarley's preliminary examination had been postponed several times, the matter was finallv dropped. The trial of this case was set for Jilay l. General Sherman's Religion. New Yokk, April 2. General Sherman spoke briefly at the second animal camplire of tho New York Veterans' Association to-night in the Eighteenth-street 31. E. Church. He said that the stars and stripes that hung over the platform contained an epic poem in themselves, and meant a great deal to him. He urged tho comrades and friends present to be patriotic, because he was of the opinion that love for one's country and obedience to constituted authority was the highest form of religion. Ho believed, also, that patriotic songs, such as "Tramp, Tramp, Iramp, tho Boys Are Marching," were as good any day as waltzes or bymu.s. Vitality, exhausted by overwork or disease, is quickly restored by use of Ayer'a Sarsaparflh.

THE FEEXCfl PATRIOTIC LEAGUE.

A Number of the Members Arraigned for Trial Bonlanger Hides Himself. r Paris, April 2. Senator Noquet, Deputies La guerre, Laisant andTurquet and M. Paul Deroulede, the leaders of the League of Patriots, were arraigned for trial before the correctional tribunal to-day. The court room was crowded with spectators. M. Deroulede, addressing tho court, stated that the objects of the League of Patriots were not of a secret character. He claimed that the use of the word 'mobilize" in communication to members of the league did not prove the existence of a military plot. Notwithstanding the action of the government in disolving the League, the organization would continue to exist, and would show its full strength whenever and wherever it might be needed. Laguerre and the other accused persons followed with speeches similar to that of M. Deroulede. They declared that the motives of the organizers of the league were of a purely patriotic nature. The installation of the new procureurf eneral has been tixed for Thursday next, ramediatcly after assuming his new duties M. Beaurepaire, will be requested by the government to institute proceedings against General Boulanger. The Cocardesays that General Boulanger, being warned yesterday that the government was preparing for a coup, arranged 60 that he should not fall into the government trap, and left the city. The police are mystified. "The General," adds tho Cocarde, "will appear when duty requires him. It is our impression that he has hidden himself temporarily, perhaps in Brussels." The Situation at Panama. Panama, March 23. Tho Star and Herald of March 15, says: VM. Jacquoir yesterday morning received a cable dispatch from M. Brunet, the official liquidator of the canal company, in Paris, in which tho latter stated that the Slaven Contracting Company has terminated its labors, and that the canal company will take charge of all the contracting companies' factories, work and materials. Other great contracting firms have already had their contracts rescinded, and the company is taking possession of the shops, the materials and the work which has been executed. The steamers leaving tho isthmus have carried away Jamaicans and other West Indian islanders, Venezulans and others to the number of 6,000. s It is believed an equal number of others will leave as soon as means of transportation are offered them. Owing to the great poverty and the scarcity of fuel, empty houses along the line of tho canal work are being torn down and the lumber in them is being utilized for cooking purposes." Monarchy Means Peace. Berlin, April 2. Prince Bismarck, in replying to the birthday congratulations offered him by the Central Manufacturers' Association, said that he looked forward to a continued maintenance of peace. This, he believed, would lend increasing impetus to the present gratifying development of German industry. In his opinion a guarantee of peace was to be found not only in the monarchical institutions of the country, but also, and in an especial degree, in the monarchical sentiments of the German people. Foreign Notes. A large number of arrests of Nihilists havo been made at Yilna, Kussia. A banquet will be given at the Hotel Metropole, London, on May 2, in honor of Mr. "Waller, the retiring United States consulgeneral. TILLAGE ALMOST DESTROYED.

Valuable Historic Letter. PniLADELPiiiA, April 2. At to-day?s meeting of the trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, the board acknowledged various gifts of money, historical documents, etc. To Dr. Samnel G. Lane, the thanks of the board are tendered for an autograph letter of Henry Clay on William Henry Harrison's nomination for the presidency. The letter is addressed to "Mr. Thomas H. Clay, near Lexington, Ky.," son of Mr. Clay, and portrays the broad, patriotic spirit of the Writer as follows: You will have learned that General Haralson obtained the Harriburg nomination. Tho event has created great and genuine surprise. Nevertheless, I have felt it to be my duty to express, as I have done on all occasions, my acquiescence in and submission to it, and I should be sorry that you or any of my friends or connections should display any irritation or dissatisfaction about it. Although the sheet is yellow with age, the manuscript is as clear and regular as an engrossed document, and bears the great statesman's simple sign manual, 'H. Clay." Murdered In a Family Fight. CniCAGO. April 2.The police of the town of Lake were notified early to-day that Charles Hutchinson had been murdered at 422 Ashland avenue. The police found Hutchinson's body lying in a bed, saturated with blood. The jugular vein had been severed, evidently by some sharp instrument. Hutchinson and his wife lived at the above number with Patrick Reyn olds. Mrs. Reynolds was Hutchinson's sister. The Reynoldses claim that Hutchinson came home last night badly cut up, saying he had been attacked in the street, and that he lay down on the bed and died before they could summon medical attendance. From the neighbors, however, it was learned that there was a general family fight, during which it is believed Hutchinson was stabbed. The police think that Patrick Reynolds did the stabbinff,' and arrested him and his wife and his brother John. Mrs. Reynolds to-night confessed that her husband killed Hutchinson. Judge Shackelford (Jpens Court. MusKOOEE. Ind. T., April 2.

Nasiivillk, Tenn., April 2. The Legislature to-day finally passed the Dortch election bill, wliich embraces the Anstralian system of voting. It has also passed a registration bill and a bill changing the makeup of tho Third and Fourth congressional districts. The latter bill makes the Third district, heretofore doubtful, and now represented by H. Clay Evans, Republican, surely Democratic. Prairie Fires In Dakota. Yankton, D. Tv April 2.

ItolllngOIill Rougher and Catchers Will Demand an Advance of Wages. PiTTsnuRG, April 2 The roughers and catchers employed in the various iron-mills in this city and vicinity aro going to ask for an advance in wages. If they do not get it they claim they will inaugurate a strike that will extend to every mill here where iron is rolled. A meeting of all tho roughers and catchers in this district has been called for the 14th inst, in Salisbury Hall, South Side. To those who aro working in ten-inch mills and lower the meeting is most important. Some of the men who were instrumental in having the call sent ont sav the advance to be asked for will be 50 per cent They do not expect to get so much, but think they will be able to make a compromise. The advance is to be asked for through tho Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel-workers at their convention in June. The meeting to be held next Sunday week will have nothing whatever to do 'with the association, although the majority of the men interested are members of that organization. The meeting will not be held with open doors, but those who are not in the association will be asked to bo present. The present rates of wages, the men claim, are entirely too low, and they must have an increase. Demands Granted. New York, April 2. Nearly all the striking framers went to work to-day at tlie terms demanded, 40 cents per hour for nine hours work daily, and eight on Saturday. Very few German house-painters are idle to-day, a 8 nearly all the employers have signed the agreement to pay the men $3.50 per day. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. John E. Hudson has been elected president of the American Bell Telephone Company. The vacancy caused by his resignation as vice-president is not yet filled. Governor Burleigh, of Maine, has apfointed Gen. Neal Dow commissioner to the aris exposition. General Dow acted in the same capacity at the Paris exposition in 1857. H. L. Hogue, superintendent of the electric-light nlant of Fostoria, O., was instantly killed Monday night, by coming in contact with the current while repairing a dynamo. Miss Clara Totten, who sued C.

Everybody shakes hands with the fellow who gets there. But how many stop in tho selfish race to tell a disappointed man they are sorry the wind was not in his direction? Every man regards a defeated man as a bore until ho is forced on tho list himself some day. It is the custom to neglect failures; that is tho penalty paid for inca- J pacity. In politics, however, where a com- ( plete ignoring would be less unkind, the world takes a savage delight in making, jokes sticking pins into tho fellow already smarting. There are probably more disappointed men on tuo streets of Washington during a vear than in any other cities in the Ijnion. As a rule, these men aro bright, intelligent and ambitious men, to whom defeat is more humiliating than to those of less sensitive organizations in trade and commercial life. Many of tlrom aro middle-aged, men and their dashed hopes represent years of effort. Men don't always get what they work for, and thej rarely get anything by lightning. Good fortune is not often accidental. Success is a prico for some sort of service. Politicians are just as necessary as the delivery wagons of grocery stores. When we quit eatiug there will be no more goods to deliver. o all the political ambition, all honest tinesso and diplomacy to secure an office is as legitimate as any other ambition, and tho man who fails to get an office that meant support for himself and his family honorable work, for which he is honorably paid is no more an object of derision than the contractor who builds a great bridge and iinds too late that brittle iron and untempered steel had been put upon him. Better luck next time. Thus romantically bound for life, the two departed for their paternal domiciles. After reaching her home tho young miss was asked hv her mother to explain where tho got the rose that graced her bosom. Amid "blushes came the answer, "From Johnnie." This aroused tho suspicion of the mother, and the news was communicated forthwith to Annie's father, who demanded an explanation. The story being told, the farmer burst ont with a laugh: "Humph! Calf love." The temper of thft young miss immediately rose in rebellion, and Father Lawson was informed that there was nioro in it than he might think. The next day Annie told Johnnie at their trysting-place of tho slight passed upon their love, and quick measures were decided upon to show the strength of their vow. So. on Monday last, they turned their backs on the district school and started in the direction of Georgetown, where they purposed to be united for life. Tho Methodist clergyman refused at first to marry them, bat Johnnie proved equal to the occasion. He drew from his pocket what he asserted to be a permit from their parents. As neither Johnnie nor Annie had suthcient of this world's goods to set up for themselves they retraced their 6tep homeward. They marched boldly into the house of the youthful bride's father and acquainted him with what they had done. Father Lawsou's faco went through all the colors of the rainbow while he was hearing the story, but suddenly thinking that it might be a joke, ho said: "Oh, you youngsters can't fool me' Tho "youngster reiterated the story of their escapade and marriage with special emphasis, and showed their marriage certilicate. To satisfy himself the father hitched up his hors and drove to tho house of tho Methodist clergyman, near Georgetown. The parson convinced hira of the marriage, and. to vindicate liininclf. showed him tho permit. The lather's wrath arose at lirst. but he could do nothing more than accept the inevitable. Upon his return home he patted the young husband and wife upon their beads m admiration of their courage, and told them that thev were proper chips of the old block. Fanner Lawson, the bride's father, has not yet decided whether to keep the children at his home until they nhall be of age, or set them up housekeeping and biro a nurse to care for them. Johnnie's father has also taken tho whole allair in good part, and wishes the "youug uns a happy married life." The simplest way to fumigate a room is to heat an iron shovel very hot, and then pour vinegar upon it. drop by drop. Tho Hteam arising from this is a disinfectant. Doors or windows should be opened that it may escape The more wrinkled the "pea seed the better the quality, but th kinds that are of the wrinkled varieties are not usually the earliest, and also rcquiro sunor&
