cordially, and apologized to the President ,for bothering him so much. "Bat," he aded, "Mr. President, you know how it is. My constituents want the places, and I must look after the matter for them' "Yes," replied President Harrison, "I thoroughly appreciate your position. I rejmember on one occasion, shortly after tho inauguration of President Garfield, that 1 "went to him in relation to some place3 that the people of Indiana wanted. I noticed a worried look upon his countenance, and felt ashamed of my mission. Finally I said to him, 'Mr. President, I feel like an assassin iu coming to you about these matters now, but you know how it is. I represent a great State, and. the buffaloes are after

bie Mr. Frank, in common with other Southern and Southwestern Republicans, expresses the highest appreciation of the treatment which he received at tho hands of tho Iresident. Another gentleman who is of the same way of thinking is Mr. Jwart, of North Carolina. Mr. Ewart says that he has been most kindly treated fcy the President and the heads of the various departments. Almost every request that he has to make has been complied with, and in nearly every instance his recommendations in relation to appointments in other districts of North Carolina than his own, which are represented by Democrats in CongTess, have been complied with. Mr. Ewartisnotoneof the Southern Kepublicans who propose to knife the Republican ticket, and he most emphatically declined to join with the Brewer party in trying to tangle up the contest over the speakership. Mr. Ewart comes ont squarely and says that his candidate for Speaker is Major McKinley. of Ohio. Mr. Cheatham, the only colored man in the House, is also nnderutood to be in favor of tho Ohio man for Speaker. THE SAMOAN TREATY. No Grounds for Supposing the Document Will Be Rejected by the Senate. !pdAl to the InUana;oHs Journal. Washington, July 27. From time to time alleged extracts from tho Samoan treaty have been published in New York papers, and in almost every instance the authenticity of these extracts has been denied. Now some enterprising correspondent has discovered that the Samoan treaty is not so much of a victory after all, as was predicted, and that there is every probability that its shortcomings will be so manifest when the Senate takes it up that it will be rejected. Your correspondent is assured by a gentleman who is in a position to know that the treaty itself is a document which will give tho very best satisfaction that couldhave been expected under the circumstances. The terms of thi3 convention have been painted in hues altogether too bright, it may be. and it has been a common thing to see the American papers claiming that tho demands of Mr. Phelps and his colleagues received the acquiescence of the German and English commissioners in eYery instance. This is not true. Messrs. Phelps, asson and Bates were more successful than they expected to be, but they did not get everything they asked for. Tho treaty is likely to result in a very much better state of aftairs in Samoa than has existed there for years. Malietoa has already been ordered to be restored to his island, and there will be no difficulty between him and Mataafa concerning the question as to the rightful ruler of the island. These two men have always been friends, and the latter took control of affairs when Malietoa was banished by the Germans. The German consul and his superiors attempted to set up Tamasese, but failed. Whether or not the control of aftyirs will be vested in Mataafa or Malietoa remains to be decided, but it is certain that the treaty will result in much greater liberality towards the natives than they have been accustomed to since the Germans secured a hold upon their island. 1 do not believe that any oue of the commissioners expects this treaty to secure the ratification of the Senate without discussion. It is natural to expect that it will be discussed in all its bearings, but there is every reason to believe that the discussion will increase its strength in the Senate rather than diminish it, and there is no ground whatever for supposing that it will be rejected by the Senate. CHINESE IN THE NAVY. When They Enlist They Also Obtain the Right to Land on Our Shores. Washington, July 27. -The Solicitor of the Treasury has submitted to the Secretary an opinion on the question recently referred to him concerning Chinese sailors in the United States navy and their relation to the Chinese exclusion laws. On May 8 last Commander Green, of the United States steamer Alert addressed a letter to Secretary Tracy from Honolulu, stating that most of the ward-room servants of the Alert were Chinese, enlisted at Honolulu. He wanted to know whether the restriction act prevented them entering the United States. The communication was forwarded to the Treasury Department, with the request that an opinion be given whether the Chinese servants in the navy who were enlisted as such would be permitted to enter the United States and be discharged there. Solicitor Hepburn's opinion is that these Chinese can be allowed to land and be discharged from the service. He holds that Chinese enlisted as servants on board of United States war vessels are seamen, and as such cannot be construed as coming under the head of common laborers or emigrants in the meaning of the exclusion act. There is nothing, he thinks connected with the enlistment of the servants on board the Alert to show that they enlisted for trie 6ole purpose of getting into the United States. and he says there is no reason why they cannot bo brought here. Acting Secretary Batchelor, to whom the opinion has been banded for action, will, in all probability, approve it. He believes that natives of other countries on United States war vessels are legally within the United States the moment they go on board the vessel, as the domain of this country extends wherever the flag floats. Therefore he sees no reason why the Chinese in question should be prevented from landing at San Francisco. MINOR MATTERS. Scheme to Establish a Silk-Growing1 Colony Between Washington and Baltimore. Special to the Indianapolis Journal k Washington, July 27. Rather a novel advertisement has appeared in the real estate columns of the Washington papers recently. A number of speculators have secured quite a large tract of land between Washington and Baltimore, and are advertising lots for sale to ladies at low figures, with the information therein that this new town is xo be the seat of the Southern silkgrowing industry. It is urged that silkgrowing is a pleasant and profitable occupation for women, and that the location selected affords every facility for conducting this enterprise with the greatest possible benefit. The Agricultural Department supplies silk worm epg to all who ask for them, and during the past fow years cocoons have been purchased by the department and the bilk wound off by a new machine which promises to materially aid the culture of native ailk in the near future. The silk worm thrives best, it is asserted, upon mulberry leaves, aud the climate of this vicinity is aid to bo just right for the growth of this tree. The Southern silk colouy has not yet attained to such proportions as to have attracted much attention, but tho Agricultural Department people report that the cultivation of the silk worm l constantly on the increase m various sections of the United States. Small Ves'el in Time of "War. Wamuxgtov, July 27. One of the recommendation likely to bo incorporated in the report of Secretary Tracy to Congress, this fall, is that all vessels built or purchased by the government be constructed with a view to service In time of war as smaller naval vessels. Said a prominent official of thu Navy Department, speaking of this subject: 'Tr-ere are probably 100 revenue cutters, lteht-houMs tenders and vessels operated in the service of the Fi-h CommUMon Coast Survey, etc., which cuiild be find should be so constructed as to form a werful arm of the navy in time ot need. As it is they ore built without regard for the pronation of their machinery or facilities for carrying armament. Pot h of these could be provided without materially increasing the cost of these vessel. The lifchpfcoufte tenders, for Instance, with t&eir,

Many Seeking "Work Elsewhere Houses No Longer to Be Given Free of Rent, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Brazil, Ind., July 27. A large number of the striking block coal miners have gone elsewhere since the strike begun, and others are going. There were too many here, a state of affairs attributable to the high prices paid for mining the coaL Cirulars to-day offering steady "work to good miners at Macon, Mo., aro being actively distributed. This is tho largest call received five hundred men but the prices are 50 and 70 cents a ton only, "where tho average offered hero is To and 80 cents, summer and winter. The veins are about of equal thickness where 50 cents is offered, with ours, while at 70 cents the vein is only twenty-six inches, for which our operators offer U5 cents. Still, no doubt a number of strikers will go to Macon. On Monday fifteen will go to jjay'a uap, Ala. The minuTo relief committee to-day distributed 1494.56 among 5.883 dependents. Peru. Ind.. trave $100 of this amount: S156.33 came from locals, mostly in Hocking val ley, O., of the National Progressive union, while the Cincinnati Post gave $50 and the iron molders of Cincinnati ftJO.43. Immediately on the result of the secret vote to continue the strike beinz an nounced some days ago, the miners were notified by the operators that they could no longer occupy their residences free of rent. fco far no further step toward eviction has been taken, but this step will be taken, no uoubt, soon, i his will prove to he the greatest embarrassment the strikers have encountered, as the relief does not furnish suthcient cash to meet tho rent expense in fact, all told, the average per capita has not been adequate to this end. An interest is expressed in tho result of the mass-meeting at Clay City, to-day. Tho coal being mined down there some at forty-five cents a ton, is semi-block, and is a fair substitute for block itself. If ence, if these mines are to run. the strikers cannot so well succeed.

Epocial to tlie IolianaioUs Journal. Anderson, Ind., July 27. Mr. Adrian Ilitt, lately of Jersey City, proprietor of tho North Anderson sash and door-works. has the drawings and model of an electrical elevated railroad, which, he says, will eclipse anything in the -way of rapid transit heretofore discovered or invented. Mr. Ilitt is now engaged in organizing a stock company, and is trying to raise $2,000 to build two miles and start tne road from hereto Indianapolis. lie claims that these two miles will show the nractical workinzs of the system. Mr. Ilitt claims that with his new motor and system he will start a person from Ander son, aud in fifteen minutes land him in Indianapolis, instead of an hour and a half as at present. Iu the short space of four hours he will cover the distance between here and New York iustead of twenty-four hours as at present. Mr. Hitt's system is so arranged that this can he done iu perfect safety, and owing to the automatic manner in wuich it is arranged accidents aro impossible.

A SIIOCKING STOEY OF CRIME The Dead Body of Dr. A. E. Jones, of Cin cinnati, Found in a Sewer Man-Hole. The Murder Committed by Charles Bligh, the Doctor's Colored Hostler, Who Is Arrested, and Minutely Confesses liis Crime. . Cincinnati, July 27. The body of Dr. A. K. Jones was found this morning in a man hole not far from his residence, murdered and robbed. The murder of Dr. Jones, familiarly known as Colonel Jones, is one of the most shocking occurrences that has ever occurred in Cincinnati. The Colonel was in his seventy-seventh year, but was active as a man of fifty. He had always had an . inclination to military life, and kept it up by holding a connection with the Ohio National Guards, serving for a long time as surgeon of the First Regiment. Governor Foraker, who was Jiis neighbor, appointed him a member of his staff as Surgeon-general. Ho had been active in public affairs, serving often in the munici pal Council, and had beside held several offices under appointment from the general government. He was, perhaps, more wide ly known in Cincinnati than any other citizen. Dr. Jones left his house about 8:30 o'clock, Thursday afternoon, wearing no coat, his feet in slippers, and went in the direction of his stable. He asked what timeitwas. thonghwearinghis watch. That . i. . : 1 1 't'U did not become alarmed until after night, and then prosecuted their search quietly until yesterday, when notice was given to the police. During yesterday a trail of blood was discovered opposite the Doctor's stable on Cemetery street, and, being followed, was traced to Park avenue, thence south two or three squares to the junction of Cypress street and Francis lane, where on the grass was quite a pool of blood. It was here in b, man-hole of the sewer that the body waff found this morning. It was wrapped in a horse blauket. or rather sewed up, so that it had to be drawn out by means of a rope fastened around it by a man who had been lowered for that purpose. The body had been doubled up compactly, as if for convenience in carrying, and it is apparent that the trail of blood was that which trickled from his wounds as his murderer carried him to the place where he thought to conceal forever the trace of his crime, for he hoped the m water would carry the body into the river. It was found that tho Doctor's gold watch and his money were gone. This must have been the motive for the murder, as tho Doctor had not an enemy in the world. There was but a single wound on the murdered man's body. It was upon the back part of the head and slightly on tho right side, as if the blow had been given from behind. The theory now prevalent is that the murderer was Charles Bligh, the colored servant, and that after committing the crime he hid the. body until night, and then, putting the body into a gram sack, he carried it to its place of concealment. Bligh was at the house all day yesterday, and told of his last interview, with the Colonel. When he left last nisht ho said he would retnrn at 5:30 this morning, but ho has not yet been found. A hoe iu the stable bears marks which are pronounced blood stains. The Murderer's Capture and Confession. Cincinnati, July 27. Charles Bligh, a coachman of Dr. A. E. Jones, was arrested to-night, at Madisonville, on the Cincinnati, Washington & Baltimore road, not more than five miles in an air-line from the scene of tho murder. He was brought into the city and taken before Superintendent Deitsch, of the polico force, where, without hesitation or restraint, ho made a full confession of the crime. His manner was easy, and his story of horror was told with as little feeling as if he had been narrating the most commonplace events of a dull day's experience. His story was as follows: "My name is Charles A. Bligh. I was bprn at Richmond, Ky. Am twenty-nine years old; am married. Iu March last I came to this city, and on the third Wednesday in March engaged to work for Dr. A. K. Jones, as hostler and for other work, at 5 a week. On the afternoon of Thursday last I was working in the garden pulling weeds, when the Doctor came out in his shirt sleeves wearing slippers and a slouch hat, and began to scold mo. 1 had just come out ot the barn where I had gone for a necessary purpose. The Doctor told me he wanted the weeds nulled out of that celery, and he did not want any more excuses about it. The Doctor was cross and took a little stick and struck me, but it did not hurt It was iust a little stroke. This was near the stable door. Ho talked pretty tierce, and cursed me, aud said again he did not want 'auv more excuses. I became angry, and as the Doctor passed by me I picked up a bit of oak stick used in baling hay, and using both hands 1 struck him a blow from behind on the back of the head. He fell and was speech less, but not dead. He was not able to move; he only breathed. "I went on with my work in the garden until abont half-past 6 o'clock, when I got a sack in the barn that had been ued for oats and put his body in it. He was breathing yet, and drew up his legs so that I could easily push his body into the sack. I then tied it nn with a hitching-strap, and went into theliouseaud got my supper as usual. The folks asked me if I had seen the Doctor, ami l torn tiiem l had not. After supper they sent ton's (tho Doctor's see if he was back and told them me to Mr. Thorn-son-in-law), to there. I came that tho Doctor had not been there. Ihen. I went to the power-house and the cable road, and talked awhile with a colored man, aud came back about 10 o'clock, tookthesaekon my shoulder and carried it down Park avenue to the manhole. Two persons were ahead of ue

No respectable druist or grocer is over grilty of such practices. Avoid all others Compounded of imported ginger, choice aromatics, and. the best of medicinal French brandy, this incomparable household panacea, summer medicine and traveling companion, based on intrinsic worth, is tho cheapest ginger in the world, costing two to five times that of any otherf and selling but a few cent higher thau tho cheapest peddler's ginger. Once introduced into tho household it can never be displaced. It is therefore its own best ad vertisement. Thousands say best of all gingers." Ask for and insist Ginger as I went, but I kept out of their way. A laid tho sack down on the grass while I took off the iron covering of tne man-hole, and then threw it in, covered up the manhole and went back to CoL Jones's house, and soon after went to my own house on Washington avenue. "Next day I went back and worked as usual till alter noon, when they told me I need not work any more, only I should stay around. I answered questions many times that day that I had not seen the Doctor. Last night, after I got home, Andy Hudson came to me and said the detectives had been to see him to ask what kind of a man I was. Hudson said he told them I was all right so far as he knew, but ho said from, the way the detectives talked he thought they were about to put tho Doctor's disappearance on me. This morning I did not get up until after 0 o'clock. I then packed my valise and went down to Fulton to take the train for Madisonville. but missed the train and walked out the railroad and pike. When I got to Madisonville I tried to find some people I used to know in Kentucky, and when I got to Simon Bush's house tbe detectives got me. I did not take Colonel Jones's watch nor his money. I did not know he had his watch or his money with him." In answer to questions, he admitted that he had stolen $S0 from Dr. Morgan, of Richmond, Ky., some time ago. He tirst said ho was accused of stealing it, then that he got a part of it, and at last that he got it all himself. He said he belonged to a secret society in Kentucky, known as tbe Independent Order of Immacnlates. His confession was made in the presence of about twenty persons. Dr. Robert C. Jones, son of the murdered man, was present at the beginning, but when the' murdeyer began to tell of how he struck his victim, tho son was obliged to leave tho room, it is wen tnat tne prisoner is under strong guard, else his heartless recital would bring him swift retribution. The police do not credit his story of not robbing his victim. "Only three dollars in money was found on him, but they expect yet to find the stolen watch. It has been a long while since the people' of Cincinnati have been bo profoundly shocked by a crime as they are by this murder. If tho criminal had aimed to strike a man tbe most widely known ho could hardly havo been more successful than in selecting Dr. A. K. Jones. THE PHENOMENON WILL REMAIN. The Trees Will Not Be Removed from Greensbore's Court-Houte Tower. Greensbnrg (Ind.) Special. Oreeusbnrg has long been noted by the singular phenomenon of the trees growing on the court-house tower. Tho first tree made its appearance in 1864 a tiny green shoot on top of the tower and was tho cause of much wonder and iutcrest. Its development was eagerly watched, and, a its steady growth continued, became known as the "lone tree." As years passed the little tree grew and assumed greater and. more graceful proportions, and flourished in spite of its lofty position, exposed to the j wind and storm. Other trees have since made their appearance on dillerent sides of ( the tower, until there are now seven which, with their bright gTeen foliage showing in pretty contrast against the dull, white stone, make a charming picture, outlined against tho blue sky. During the repairs on the court-house now in progietss, a ' scaffolding was built around the tower, and the removal of the trees discussed. An examination was rado, and the largest tree reported to bo 6U inches in circumference and 5 feet 10 inches high. Xo damage was being done by them, and it was decided to let them remain, as the crevices in the stone rooting made by the roots of the tree show an opening of only 1H inch." Tho, tower is 1S3 feet high, of solid masonry," aud how tho trees find nourishment to sustain them is a matter of great wonder. Hotel Registers. Pbllartelpliia Inquirer. There is a very mistaken idea about the register books that lie upon tho counters of hotels," said a prominent hotel man yesterday. They are not by any means open to the public as a right, as is generally supposed. It is simply as a matter of courtesy that we permit any one to look at them, as we are not obliged to show them to the public. If & person calls at the houso in order to See a friend or find out if he is stopping there, it is his place' to inquire at the office: that is the only proper way. Our books are always destroyed now as soon as they are full. Hotel-keepers have been subjected to much annoyance by being frequently ordered to produce them in court as evidence in divorce and other cases. Id order to avoid so doing we always destroy our books, and can say to the court that we have no record of any such parties as the ones in question having been at our house at aaf time."
