dav when tho term expired and almost $10,000 rai paid for the term as salary to the ousted member, besides Lis mileage. $1" a year fur stationery, and expenses of defending the contest. It is the purpose or this House to not permit anything of that kind, and the prospects are that within six weeks all contests will have been decided. JEnO BAK-Elt'S CONTEST.

Morrison's Defeat in the 8une District RecalledThe Charges Against Foreman. ppectal to the IiuhaoaonUs Journal. "Washington, Dec. 15. Interstate-commerce Commissioner Morrison will be a highly-interested spectator upon the pro ceedings which will be had in the contested election from his old district in Illinois. It will be remembered that Morrison was defeated three years ago by Jehu Baker, and that it nearly broke the distinguished tariff reformer's heart. Morrison declared it was not due to his record that he was defeated, bat to the machinations of manufacturers and labor organizations, together with a good supply of "boodle." Morrison forgot that he had for several years given his attention to general topics to the neglect of his constituency, and that a member from New York or elsewhere represented his Illinois constituents as thoroughly as Morrison himself. He forgot that while other members in his State were looking specifically after their constituents he was running off after theories and striving to reform the tariff in a way that would break up his local industries rnd crush the farmera of his district. Morrison declared that the manufacturers had defeated him, and the people would crush the man who had taken his teat in the House. Jehu Baker had against him Wm. S, Foreman, and, according to the certiticate issued to his opponent, Baker was defeated by twenty -six -votes. Baker has entered a contest of Foreman's seat, alleging that there was fraud and corruption, and that he received more votes, despite the use of money, than Foreman. Morrison will lend all the moral influence he can to keep Baker out of his seat. TARIFF LEGISLATION. Little Will He Done with the Question Until New ITouse Itules Are Adopted. ftctal to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Dec. 15. No general understanding has yet been arrived at between the two houses on the tariff question or the preparation of a tariff bill. Tho Senate will simply await the action of the House, but it has been customary, where the two houses were within the control of the B.ime party, to have a conference between the leading members of tho House committee on ways and means, and the Senate committeo on finance, and agree upon a programme. Senator Allison and Major McKinley sav this may be done in January, when the work of preparing a tariff bill has begnu. There is not very much said about tho tariff in either house of Congress. A new set of rules will have to first be adopted and then the contested elections disposed of. Senator Allison expects to 6ee a tariff bill completed by the committee on ways and means by the early part of February, however. As the Senate bill of two years ago is to be the basis of operations in the event there is not f orwaid and specific legislation taken on sugar and tobacco, a great deal of work will not be necessary to compile the bill. A FLOOD OF BILLS. Two or Three Thousand Measures to Be Introduced in the House on the First CalL Racial to the Indianapolis J jurnaL Washington. Dec. 15. An effort will be made in the House to-morrow to give an opportunity for the introduction of bilis. A perfect avalanche is expected when the call comes. During the last Congress there were about fourteen thousand bills and resolutions introduced in the House alone, or an average of nearly fortyfive to each member. According to the standard fixed by the Senate daring tho past two weeks, the House will very largely increase the number of measures introduced during this session over the one which began two years ago. Nearly all of the old measures which were not finally passed by both houses will bo re-introduced, and thousands of new ones are expected. It will not be a surprise if an average of fifty bills and resolutions to each member are introduced in the House, or a total of over 16,000 during both sessions of the Fifty-first Congress. About 3 per cent, will become laws. Two or three thousand hills are expected on the first call of tho House. PENSIONS FOR VETERANS. Residents of Indiana and Illinois Whose Claims Have Been Allowed.

lie Blew Ont the Gas and Tet Had Sense Knongh to Keep Oat of Silcott's Clutches. Fpeclal to the IuiUanapolis Journal. Washington, Dec. 15. Major Martin, of Texas, in -peaking to a friend of his yesterday, said: "Everybody used to have a great laugh on me two years ago because they said I had not sense enough totun out the gas but blew it out. At the same time," said he, MI noticed my colleague, Mr. Mills, who has been in Congress some eighteen years, and who never blew out the gas, lost abont 2.900 by signing receipts for salary which he never received." The Major then took a list of his entire Texas delegation, and named each man, telling the number of years he had been in Congress, and the amount he had lost by Silcott's defalcation. Finally coming down to "Buck" Kilgore, he said: "He never blew out tho gas. but, although faring better thnn any man iu the delegation, he lost abont &J50. I call your atteution to the fact, sab. that the man who blew out the gas was overdrawn four days' pay when the bustup came."

Reports That Indicate the Brazil Revolution Was Anything but Peaceful. An Uprising at Bahia in Which 500 Persons Were Killed-Eight Naval Officers Said to Have Been Imprisoned and Shot English Workingmen Beginning to Real ize that Strikes Do Not Help Them. Gladstone Declines to Commit Himself on the Eight-Hour Movement, While Churchill ' Favors It Poet Browning's Funeral. OPPOSED T1IE REPUBLIC. Reports from Brazil Indicating that the Re cent Revolution Was a Bloody One. New York, Dec. 15. The steamer Horrox arrived here to-day from Brazil. She left Rio Janeiro on Nov. 23. The Horrox was at Saulos when the news of tho deposing of the Emperor was first announced. The Republicans placarded the place with handbills, on which was printed the official information, and also a paragraph requesting the people not to hold any political meetings until later.' This had its intended effect, as the situation was accepted by the people without any manifest dissatisfac tion. At Rio do Janeiro tho, Horrox lay two days. Although everything appeared quiet when she arrived there Captain Kenning and First Officer Black, when they went on shore, heard many rumors of dis satisfaction with the new order of things. One man, Do Gama by name, a collector of customs, held on to the flags of the empire, and refused to remove from his uniform the buttons on which were stamped the crown. Threats were of no avail, and the collector locked himself up in his house to escape tho wrath of the Republicans. Ten days after the news of the deposing of the hmperor had . been made public De Gama submitted to the demandsof the new government, removed the objectionable buttons, and- gave up the imperial Hags. De Gama was not deprived of his office. A number of the men who had office under the Emperor were retained in the same positions by the republic. On the second day of the revolution a cipher dispatch was received at Riode Janeiro, anuouueing that there had been, an uprising at Bahia. that a fight had taken place between the militia and the imperialists, and that 500 persons had been killed. After that the government at once stopped all cipher telegraphic communicatiou. and placed strict watch on all the or dinary messages that wero Bent on tho wires. The Republicans left no stone un turned to accomplish their purpose. So complete were their arrangements that when the republic was announced all of the imperial war vessels that for weeks had been lying in the harbor were so fixed that it was impossible lor them to participate in any uprising that might have possibly occurred. The man-of-war Nitheroy had been placed in a dry-dock several days before, and was half dismantled when the Republicans made their great move. Another rumor heard by the Horrors of ficers was one regarding the fate of eight naval officers who had refused to submit to the Republicans. It was said that on the tirst night of the revolution these othcers climbed on the Liverpool steamer Chatham, which lay at her docK, and, securing a boat. rowed out upon the harbor bearing aloft an imperial lias. A party of Republicans gave chase in another boat, and fcoiue shots were exchanged. The naval officers were captured and incarcerated in a prison on one of the small islands in the harbor. None of the men had been seen up to the time the Horrox left Rio de Janeiro, and Cantain Henning said that the general be lief of the people was that they had ben secretly shot while in prison; as the noise of tho discharge of fire-arms had1 been heard in the prison the next day by some people who were near the spot. t Foreigner Given Citizenship. Lisbon, Dec. 15. The Brazilian consul here has received a telegram from Rio Janeiro, announcing that a decree has been pro mulgated declaring all foreigners resid ing in Brazil citizens of the republic from the date on which the republic was pro claimed and that all foreigners in future shall be considered Brazilian subjects and enjoy all civil and political rights, except the right ox nccoming cuici oi state, alter a residence of two years. In all cases the government reserves the right to refuse cit izenship. The decree is signed by Ministers Da t ouseca ana Lobo. FUTILITY OF STRIKES. English Workmen About Convinced that Nothing: Can He Gained by Hasty Action. Special to tl Inrtian&itolls Journal. London, Dec. 15. The gas strikers have made a sorry mess of their attempt to force the companies to their view of the wage question. Whether their set-back is the turning point in the strike epidemic or not is not yet certain, but tho general belief is that such is the case, and that a reaction may now be looked for toward harder lines for the working classes. The Socialists, who, from the start, opposed John Burns's way of doing things and sneered at his idea that the lion of capital and the lamb of labor could be made to lie down together, are already ringing the changes on "I told you so." A well-known student of the labor question said to your correspondent, to-day, that as nearly as he could make out the labor problem here was passing very rapidly through certain stages which it had taken itta longtime to pass through in America. There strikes were an old story. They had been tried on every scale, from small to great, and on tho whole they had failed to improve the condition of tho laboring classes, who were now turning their thoughts toward social reorganization asla more hopeful remedy than trades-nnionism and strikes. Here strikes had been folly, and while often successful in the past, this was because of tho very rarity of them, and because they were resorted to only, in exceptional cases. Tho present budding out of strikes in all directions, with or without provocation, following the dockers success, was sure to renult in a large percentage of failure, and to bring the English working classes to the same position reached by their American brethren to a point where something broader than mere labor organization would be seen to be necessary. This gentleman took the view that the net result of the present agitation would be to increase the radicalism of the Liberal party, and to bring abont, through political concessions, a condition more tolerable for the mudsills' of society. The people who entertain hopes that the conflict between labor and capital will eventually bo settled ou the co-operative basis will be cheered by the action of the owners of the immense Bute docks at Cardiff in apportioning among their workmen live shares, beariug 5 per cent profits. Tho Marquis of Bute, chief owner of the property, is said to bo the wealthiest man in England, and those who do not pin their faith of social regeneration on co-operation can at least console themselves with the reflection that in this case the person who tries the experiment is able to stand the loss, if there be any. The striking gas employes now concede that their only hope of success lie in the possibility of stopping the coal supply of the companies. The key to the situation, therefore, seems to be with the coal-porters and other workers in the coal interests. KIGUT-IIOUK MOVEMENT. Mr. Gladstone Declines to Commit Illmselt on the Question Indorsed by Churchill. London, Dec. 15. Mr. Gladstone, replying to a request to throw his great influence into the scale in favor of an eight-hour movement, declines, on account of his age and the engrossing character- of tho Irish

question, to initiate the " agitation on the subject. He says that he will dispassion

ately consider the matter whenever a bill embodying the idea is presented. Lord Randolph Churchill, m renlvine to a similar invitation, says that a system of eight hours for sleep, eight hours for labo:r and eight hours for recreation seeing to be an ideal toward "which democratio legislation may wisely and proiitably aim. It would diminish tho number of the un employed and also the profits of the capiia nsts, out tue tatter uisaavamage. n sucn it be, . would be larcelv outweiched by the increased comfort, and contentment of the laborers. The leaders of the labor movements de light in nothing more 'than in forcing the leaders of the political parties to commit themselves. Mr. Gladstone was too old a bird to be caught with this chaff, and his response is a model of how not to commit oneself on a point that may have awkward sequeue. GENERAL FOREIGN SEWS. Poet Browning's Last Words Ills Funeral Yesterday nt Yeuice. Epeclid to tho Indianapolis Journai. Venice, Dec. 15. The mourning displayed for Browning recalls that shown at the death of Wagner. The poet long refused to believe that his illness was serious. He went out daily in an open gondola until Thursday. He then felt confident that he would be able to go our Friday. At 7 in the evening breathing became .difficult. Learning that the last edition of his poems was almost exhausted, he murmured: "How gratifying." These were his last words. The funeral took place to-day from the Palazzo Rezzonico. The coffin was covered with floral wreaths. The cortege started at 4 o'clock, the body reposing on a magnificent funeral barge, accompanied by a guard of honor. The family and friends followed in gondolas. The body was deposited in the chapel of the cemetery of St. Michael's until the time arrives for its removal to London, where the formal ceremonies will bo held and the body will be interred in Westminster Abbey. England's Dispute with Portugal. London, Dec. 15. The Lisbon papers accuse Mr. Johnston, - the English consul at Mozambique, of availing himself of a Portugueso "safe conduct" to pursue antiPortuguese propaganda among the natives. The Post this morning discusses tho Makololand aflair, and asks how Portugal reconciles her claim to the whole district with the action of Serpa Pinto. The Post admits the gravity of the situation, tho main result of which it says will be to pre-t cinitate a tettlenient of the old dispute. The Daily News says: It may bo fairly conceded that Portugal has just claims as well as extravagant pretensions. The question is ripening for settlement. Meanwhile Major Serpa Piuto would better leavo his Catling at home. Kurds and Turks Defeated by Armenians. Constantinople, Dec. 15. A party of Armenians, near Mouch, in revenge for a murder attacked and defeated a party of Kurds and & number of Turkish troops who were assisting them. More Turkish troops have been sent to quell the disturbance. The case of Monssa Be' remains in abeyance. The prosecutor's threat to charge them with perjury has made the witnesses extremely dillident. The only hope remaining is that the American legation will prosecute the culprits successfully. Siberian Exiles Killed. St. Petersburg, Dec. 15. News is received from Siberia that a party of exiles were tired upon by soldiers and six of them, including ono woman, were killed and nine wounded. Their oll'cnse was that they declined to withdraw a petition which was construedas rebellious. After the shooting a court-martial was held and three men were sentenced to death and several others to imprison niei.t for long terms. One of those coudemned to death had been wounded during the shooting. He was car ried to the gallows abed. Mgr. Satolis's Report to the Pope. London, Dec. 1C The Chronicle's Rome correspondent says Mgr. Satolli, in a long interview with the Pope, gave an account of the good reception accorded him in America. - He said he found the civil authorities willing to erant full liberty to Catholicism, and expressed his belief that the Washington government is favorable to creating a diplomatic representative to tho Vatican. Cable Notes. . There are 15,000 cases of influenza in Berlin city. General Rocha, senior officer of the Mexican army, and Colonel Romero are about to tight a duel. It is reported that the Czar refuses to recognize the Brazilian republic, and has broken oil' relations with the Brazilian minister at St. Petersburg. An important combination has been formed among the manufacturers of dynamite and powder throughout Germany. Most of the larger concerns aro said to have joined the pool. The British government has decided to strengthen the fortresses at the mouth of the Thames by placing therein a number of heavy guns and adding several other improvements to bring the works up to modern requirements. Three thousand miners assembled at Essen yesterday and adopted resolutions thanking the 6tate authorities for their sympathy, and expressing readiness to await the result of their promises to intervene. For the present, therefore, the men will abstain from striking. THE CILEROKEE COMMISSIONERS. Thcj Decide that Farther Negotiations with the Indians Would Be Useless. Kansas City, Dec. 15. The act under which the Cherokee commission has been negotiating for the purchase of the Cherokee outlet by the United States government, permits them to arrange, in the event of their failure to eii'ect a purcha.se, for the removal of other Indians from their reservation in the Indian Territory to the Cherokee Nation, as provided in Article 15 of the treaty of 1S6S. The commission has concluded that it is useless to carry a further negotiation with the Cherokeea for the purchase of the lands, and are now arranging fcr the removal of other Indians to the unoccupied Cherokee lands. The commission vill notify Chief Mavs of this decision and will ask him to tile his objection in the Pie si dent's office, if he has any. The matter n left entirely with the President, and if le considers the objections invalid he map order tho removal of the Indians, as indicated, whenever he desires, after the latter have sold their lands to tho i government and signitied their willingness to move. Of the Indians who have siguticd such willingness thero are the Sacs and Foxes, Cheyennes and Arapahoes. W:chitas, Comanches. Kansas, Ottooes, Sha-vntes, Miamis, Kickapoos. Ponias and Pawnees. As soon as thev aro removed thither, provided the President sanctions their removal, their reservations will bs opened to settlement and almost as much land be thrown open to the public as would have been available had the commission succeeded in purchasing the Cherokee land. Commissioners Fairchild and Wilson leave to-morrow fer the Choctaw Nation, where they will neotiate for the purchase of the Choctaw leservation, and tho removal of tho Indians to the Cherokee land. Will Imperil the Iowa Legislature. Des Moines, la., Dec. 15. Representative Shipley, of Guthrie county, who was badly injured iu a tight a few weeks ago, is seriously sick with pneumonia. If he should die the Republicans would be m a minority in tho Ilouso at the ooening of the Legislature and the Democrats would elect the Speaker. . - s Comedy Company Deserted by Its Manager.

Mr. Cook was first lieutenant, and the company took Davis from Augusta down the river live miles, where he was delivered to a vessel that carried him to prison. He said that Davis never said one word to any person except to his wife and dauchter, who were along, but spent most of the time in reading Northern newspapers. Davis, just after the battle of Buena Vista, in Mexico, remarked that the Indiana soldier was a coward. The soldiers wouid often say, in the hearing of Jeff Davis, to "remember Ruena Vista;" but. Davis never paid any attention to them. Winnie Davis, the daughter, was always ready to make some answer, and she would give the soldiers 'tits." Burglaries at Wabash.

A local paper we do not know of what section sayn that the farmers of its section are tired of the slow process of cutting corn with knives, and have made themselves machines, or things they call machines. Thev are simply affairs, being sleds with two-by-fours laid Hat wise for runners, on which is built a platform, by laying two more two-by-fours crosswise on the runners, and layiug the Ucoriug of inch boards on these. The platform is two and ono-halffeet on each side, until the platform is live feet wide, and then extending straight back about twofect. In tho slants on each side are set steel knives. Ono horso is hitched to this arrangement and two men stand on it, directly back of the knives, and catch tho corn. Two rows aro cut at once. The machine is pulled from one shock to the next, when the horse is stopped, tho men step off, bet up the corn, 6tep on, the horse starts up and work proceeds. In cutting short corn a spring seat is put on and the. operators sit down to catch the corn. Two men and a horso with one of these affairs, it is said, can cut as much as tivo men with knives, and less labor. Dudley and His Foes. Cincinnati Gk.mrurc:al Gazette.
