Secretary Buak Give a Clerkship to Mr. Mary Ann Doughert y, of Campaign Fame. ISpeelal to tli IudianapoUa JoarnaL Washington', July 2. Secretary Rusk to-day appointed to a clerkship in the Agricultural Department Mrs. Alary Ann Dougherty, the woman whose pension bill President Cleveland vetoed. This veto called forth, a storm of abuse upon resident Cleveland's bead on the part of the Association of Working Women here, -who proved conclusively that President Cleveland had been misled in his action, and that he had mixed Alary Ann Dougherty up with some other woman, who had been be"ore the police court. The Mary Ann Dougherty case became famous in the late campaign, and much sympathy was expressed for her iu all sections of the country. Secretary Kusk declines to say anything about the indorsement of Mrs. Dougheriy, but it is believed that the same association that championed her cause when her pension bill was vetoed stood by her in this instance.

"Washington, July 2. By a general order issued from army headquarters the American Morse code will hereafter be used by the army for all purposes of signaling. whether visual or acoustic, and the use of the English Morse or continental code will be discontinued. This action was taken upon the recommendation of the chief signal officer with a view to the simplification of signal instruction, and to the ready employment and utilization in time of war of skilled civilian telegraphers for military purposes. Fewer errors are supposed to re sult from the use of the English system. bnt it is slower than the American svstem. and its continuance would involve the employment of specially trained experts, who could not be procured in sufficient numbers in an emergency.

METHODS OF THE AGITATOES

Michael Davitt Tells of Many Things Con nected with the Irish Cause The Clan-na-Gael Composed of the Best Men, Although Its Members May Dave Committed Murders for Ireland's Sake. The Douse of Commons Asked to Vote Money for the Prince ol Wales's Son. An Inciter of Revolution in Venezuela Escorted Out of the Country Preparing a Future Home for the Pope in Spain. DAVITT AND THE LEAGUE. lie Praises the Clan-na-Gael and Irish, Leaders, but Is Not in Faror of Agitation. London, July 2. Mr. Michael Davitt was examined before the Parnell commis sion to-day. He declared there was no truth in the account given by Lo Caron before the commission concerning proposals of John Devoy being submitted to PamelL Mr. Parnell had nothing to do with the witness's visit to America in 1888. Mr. Davitt stated that while in America he attended meetings of the Clan-na-Gael, at which he explained the objects of the Land League, and tried to win the Clan-na-Gael to its support The Clan-na-Gael, he said, included some of the best Irishmen in America. It was no more a murder club than was the Carlton Club, of Lon don. There was no alliance between the j Clan-na-Gael and tho League in Ireland. The League movement in America won the support of all the Irish in America to Mr. Parnell. Mr. Davitt said he never met a better man as a Christian and a philanthropist than Patrick Ford. He was very sorry that for a few months after the League was established Mr. Ford openly advocated the use of dynamite. Witness wrote to him expostulating with him for his open declarations, and later Mr. Ford returned to his Plan of Campaign. Witness said he himself was opposed to the use of dynamite because it was an immoral and unmanly style of warfare. He was not opposed to physical force, if in resorting thereto there was a reasonable ' chance of success. The league did not provide for the circulation of the Irish World in Ireland. Mr. Ford sent out copies through the "spread-the-light fund," and witness paid the postage. The league did not circulate the letter of John Devoy on a new departure, extracts from which were quoted by Attorney-general Webster, counsel for the Times. Mr. Davitt said he had known Alexander Sullivan since 1878, and had the highest opinion of his ability as a lawyer, his character as a citizen and his honor as a man. He did not believe him to be capable of any dishonorable act. Witness returned from America to Ireland in 188). He had delivered thirty speeches denouncing outrages. He believed outrages were due to the agitation of local agrarian bodies, composed chiefly of sons of small tenant farmers. When witness was released from prison on k May 6, 1882, Mr. Parnell and Mr. Dillon had informed him that they were hopeful of a change in the government's policy. Witness was glad that there was a prospect of agitation ceasing. He disliked agitation, and would willingly abandon it to-morrow if ho saw some iustice done to Ireland. He could not abandon it otherwise. In reference to the Phoenix Park murders Mr. Davitt said: "Mr. Parnell came to me on the Sunday following the day of the murder, utterly broken down by the news. He said: Davitt, I shall send my resignation to Cork to-night, I refuse to stay in the movement when Irishmen of whom we know nothing can come behind our backs and perpetrate such deeds.' It took all my influence to dissuade him from resigning." Mr. Davitt continued: Bevond statins? Eublicly in New York, in July, 1832, that I ad severed my connection with the revo lutionary body, I expressed no dissent of the Fenians. T did not attend any meeting of the Clan-na-Gael after 1880. I believe that murders were committed by members of the Clan-na-Gael, but the perpetra tors certainly did not have the sanction of the governing body, nor the approval of the leaders. When I was organizing secretary I com municated with the member of the su preme council for my district. Attorney-general Webster Who was he. Mr. Davitt 1 cannot tell you. It would be a gross breach of trust to divulge hi name. If he is still in business in England he might be ruined if the fact of his con nection with the council became known. The Attorney-general said he would not press the question now. Witness, continuing, said that in a letter which he wrote, he had used the word "pen," meaning revolver. He declined to sav to whom the letter was addressed. The Attorney-general Was it Arthur Forrestert Mr. Davitt I cannot say without possibly injuring a man who greatly wronged me. Presiding-justice Kannen said the court respected the motive for witness's reticence, but could not recognize it as an excuse for not answering. Mr. Davitt thereupon explained that the man to whom the letter was written had conceived a hatred of another member of the league and wished to murder him. Witness wrote to him, appearing to sanction tho act he meditated, but really to gain time until ho could write to two superior ollicers and ask them to dissuade the man from carrying out his purpose. The expression used in the letter was, "Whoever is employed, do not let him use the pen we have been using." Witness wrote to tho superior olli cers about tho matter. He could not tell their names. He believed that both wero now in America. Mr. Davitt said the dear friend to whom was addressed the letter in which the word "pen" appeared was now in America, and he now publicly appealed to him to allow him to divulge his name. TIIE I1KITISII COMMONS. Money Asked for Albert Victor of Wales The Samoun Treaty. Loxpon. July 2. In tho House of Com mons this evening, the Speaker read messagesfroru the Queen, commending to tho House the granting of an extra provision to Prince Albert Victor of Wales, and Prin cess Victoria, of Prussia, on the occasion of their marriage. Mr. Smith, tho govern ment leader, intimated that he would call ud the messages for consideration on Thursday. Mr. Labouchere gave notice that he would oppose any votes of money for the Prince aud Princess, if they were proposed. before a commission on royal grants was appointed. Mr. James Fergnsson, Parliamentary Sec retary to the Foreign Otfice.in answer to an iuqmry stated that the new treaty between Japan and Mexico had not been ratified yet. The treaty between the United States and Japan, which was signed on Feb. 'JO, would go into force on leb. 11, 1S90. Tho government, he said, would shortly begin negotiations with Japan, with the object of securiug for England equal privileges with all other countries. In relation to the treaty agreed upon by the Samoan conference at Berlin, he said it would not bo proper to divulge any of its provisions until it had been ratified by the united States Senate. The statement, however. that England had agreed to retire from her position as one of the three protecting 'powers at Samoa, aud act only as an umpire between the United States and Germany, was unfounded. It is reported that Parliament will be asked to grant the Princess Louise, daugh ter of tho Prince of v ales and nance of the Earl of Fife, an allowance of 3,000 until she is married, and after her marriage an aunnal allowance of 25,000. The grant to be naked for Prince Albert Victor is said to

be 10,000 until his ' marriage, and then 25,000. Tho details have been imparted to discuss the question of the proposed grants. THE PARIS EXPOSITION.

The Inadequate and Ridiculous Exhibit Made by the United States. Interview with M. II. De Tonng. "The United States exhibit is ridiculous for a country of its size, standing and resources. The fault lies with the government's commissioners. Not one of them appeared at Paris two weeks before tho exposition opened. Before that they had only two or three clerks there, and they were hoodwinked and played right and left by the Frenchmen. "The United States has no building there at alL The Argentine Republic has a magnificent one, and many nations having not the tenth part of the importance of the United Stateshave finebuildings and creditable exhibits. The United States exhibit is in the main building, and occupies only about two-thirds of the space which Belgium has. (Jnr government appropriated $250,000 for the exliibit. "1 would not like to charge that any of tho money has been dishonestly used, bnt I am free to say that it has been very injudiciously expended. Oneof the first things the commissioners did was to rent a fine house for GO.OOOf, and settle down in it with their families. A great deal of money has been eaten up in salaries. "The commissioners say that a great deal of the money was spent in collecting the display of cereals. It wonld not do a country fair very great credit, A little glass case six feet long holds the whole of our wine exhibit. California alono wanted to appropriate 50, OOOf for an exhibit of wine, fruit and other productions, but though I applied for space last January it was refused. "The United States boasts of having more miles of railroads than all tho rest of the world, yet the exhibit in that line embraces one refrigerator car, the sawed olf end of a freight car and a little locomotive one can see over. It shows the home improvements, but it is a mere toy. "France, England, Belgium and even Switzerland make railway rolling stock exhibits, which are incomparably better than ours. Mexico and South. American countries throw the United States far into the shade with their exhibits. The United States exhibit is simply ridiculous." GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. An Emissary of Guzman Rlanco Exiled from Venezuela for Trying to Incite Revolution. New York, July 2. A letter from Cara cas, Venezuela, under date of Juno 10, says: "Recent events in Caracas go to prove that the hostility of the people to the continued dictatorship of Guzman Blanco is just as violent and that the repudiation of his au thority by the government is just as com plete as it was during the exciting scenes described in my last letter. ' In fact the communications that have passed between this city and; Paris have done as much as the transactions here to widen the breach. It has now become known that immediately after the insults ottered to his statue of the 27th of April, and the refusal of the government to punish those resoonsiDie therefor, Uuzman Blanco sent one of his best known and trusted lieutenants to incite a revolution for the purpose of overthrowing President Paul. The man se lected was formerly governorof the federal district of Caracas; and possessed a wide acquaintance throughout the country, lie is a desperate and determined character. and was well supplied with funds, but the government was fortunately forewarned of his coming, although the information was gained purely bv accident, and uoon his landing he was arrested and escorted out of the country, after being warned that ii ne returned ne would be shot.

Additional partic ulars from Durango state that the fire de partment responded promptly to the alarm. bnt that the streams of water poured upon the fire seemed to aggravate the flames, and it became so hot that the firemen were compelled to beat a hasty retreat.
