THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY, JUNE 9, 1890.

It was upon a positive assurance that this tvould be done that representative Payson and a dozen or more otner f ree-coinage men consented to vote for the bill. If they had not received this assurance they would Lave sustained Mr. liland in his attempt to recommit the bill to tbecomniitte'e on coinage, weights and measures, with instruction to report a free-coinage measure. A large number of Republicans voted in favor of the bill a it passed, not because the measure met their approval, but because of the party constraint that compelled them to do so, and the assurances that the Senate will eliminate the objectionable features. Senator Jones said yesterday that there was no intention of passing a buncombe bill for the President to veto, and the desire of the silver men in the Senate was to get the best legislation possible at this session. They did not know exactly what sort of a bill the President would be willing to sign, but they thought he would not approve free coinage, and they would try to get as near free coinage as possible and keep within his approval. WASHINGTON'S BOOM. .

tVbythe Tteal-Efctate-Dealer Are Clril-Serv-ice Reformers Inflated Prices of Lots. ' Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, June 8. Every real-estate-dealer in Washington is a civil-service reformer. Every man who has large property to rent or sell is and has been fighting to Lave the present civil-service laws not only maintained bat extended. Nothing has contributed so largely to the unparalleled xcal-cstat6 boom at the national capital as the civil-service law. Before this was enacted there was an almost complete change of forces in the departments every time the administration changed, and the consequence was a larger patronage at the hotels and- boarding-houees and a much better transient clientage at the hands of the landlords; but tho civil-service law has made it not only possible but easy for the employes in the departments to buy.their own property and live in better form than ver before. They can now figure on the future and make business calculations with a degree of certainty. It is conceded that the national capital will, like the capitals of other nations, run np to a very large city. It has now grown froin 1G0.00O to nearly 250,000 population in ten years. It has built in, and the character of its improvements is not excelled by any other city in the country. But it is believed that real-estate speculation here has been overdone, and that there is bound to he a reaction. There are several square miles of residenco sections where residence lots are sold from $3 to $12 per square foot, and as lots are generally from 100 to 140 feet in depth, it can be seen that the price of desirable residence lots at the national capital ranges from 400 per front foot upwards. These are not the choicest lot by any means. There are manv square miles of them that readily fetch 1,500 or $1,S00 per front foot. These are the prices for choice business lots in other cities. There are environs on three Bides of Washington, extending from one to four miles from the built-up section, which sell from 10 cents to 1.50 per square foot. It is estimated that there have been at least four suburban lots platted during the past year for every man, woman and child in Washington. Electric, cable and horse-car lines are beingconstrnctedto these outposts of residence, and people seem to have, for the present, gone wild on realcstato speculation. BITER AND LAKE TRAFFIC. Objections to Extending Over It Provision a of the Interstate-Commerce Act. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. . Washington, Jane 8. A hill has been introduced in the Senate by Mr. Vest, of Missouri, proposing to extend the provisions of tho interstate-commerce law over the river and lake traffic of the United States, and the measure is causing a good deal of concern in steamboat circles. The aim of the government has heretofore been, to encourage as far' as possible the navigation of our waters, and there has never been any effort made toward restricting water commerce. It has been open and free. There have been sateguards thrown out in the way of inspections, and rules and regulations intended to preserve life and facilitate the business, but this is the first time even a hint has been made in the direction of extending the laws which regulate the trade on railways to the rivers and lakes of the country, and if the bill should become a law steamboat representatives now here claim it would in moat places almost destroy local navigation. ' ONLY NINE EXTRA JUDGES. The IToase Sill to Believe the Supreme Court . to Be Radically Modified by the Senate. Washington. June 8. The bill which passed the House creating eighteen United States judges, who are to have jurisdiction in a certain line of cases, and thereby relieve the docket of the Supreme Court of a portion of tho business which is pressing upon it, has been in the hands of a sub-committee of the judiciary committee of the Senate, consisting of Senators Hoar, Evarts and Pugh. They have carefully considered the measuro, and have consulted about it with several justices of the Supreme Court, as well as other well-known legal lights, and it is understood they have concluded to modify the bill as it canio from the Ilouso in certain TeHpects. They will report in favor of limiting the number of the new judges to nine, who shall form an appellate court and shall have linal jurisdiction in cases where tho amount at issue between the litigants does not exceed $10,000. Each one of these nine judges shall sit in one of the nine circuits with th United States circuit judge now assigned to said circuit. The two may call in the United states district judge to sit with them if they deem it necessary in any particular case, raising the number constituting the appellato court to three. The House bill provided for eighteen judges two of whom were to sit in each of the nine circuits iu conjunction with the United States circuit judge. aiTCOU 3IATTERS. The Wilton In the House, and How Their Name Get Tangled in Itoll-Calls. Washington, June 8. There are four Wilsons members of the House of Representatives, and once in awhile the presence of so many persons with a common family name occasions slight mistakes in the record of the proceedings of the House, the more especially as the Wilsons do not all owe fealty to the same political party. An instance of this happened yesterday in the vote on the silver bill. Mr. Wilson, of Missouri, a Democrat, was reported in the press account giving the yea and nay vote as voting in favor of the passage of the bill, whereas he voted against its passage, while Mr. Wilson, of Washington, a Kepublican, was put down among those opposed to the bill, although ho voted in favor qf it. The error occurred through the reading clerk inadvertently calling thd name of Mr. Wilson, of Washington, before that of Mr. Wilson, of Missouri, thus reversing the order in which their names are placed on the roll-call. Th President's Family at Fort Monroe. Washington, June 8. The President and Mrs. Harrison spent Sunday down the Po tomac on the Uuited States steamer Dispatch, with Benjamin and Mary McKee and Mrs. Dimmick. Little Mary has been quite indisposed for a few days, and the trip was taken with the hore of benefiting her health. Mrs. McKee is in receipt of a telegram from Fort Monroe, spying that the family and children are enjoying the trip immensely and that Mary is much improved. Th President with Mrs. Harrison, the two grandchildren and Mrs. Dimmick, went asbore at the fort at 10 o'clock this morning. Colonel Frank met them and carried the President to church. The party re turned to the Dispatch and sailed at 5 o'clock for Washington, where they will arrive about noon to-morrow, Adjutant-General Helton's Condition. Washington, June 8.

Supporting" the Kaiier't Labor lie forms. London, Juno 8.--Emperor William of Germany is devoting himself assiduously to reading petitions on the labor question. His friendly attitude toward the working people has already caused a division in the German Liberal party in the Reichstag. The party which had formerly been united in opposition to Bismarck and the throne is now divided, many members showing a tendency to approve the action of the Em peror and to support his policy. Even in Russia the Czar's council is considering a bill to compel employers to support employes injured in the performance of duty, and to require an employer to pension the widow and children of any employ losing his life while at work. Fears Annexation to America. Paris, June 8. The Economist Francaise, edited by Leroy Ballieu, advocates the ac ceptance of the English oSer to compensate the French fishermen in Newfoundland and to make a concession elsewhere.

The Anchor-line steamer City of Home, Captain Yong, from New York, May SI, arrived at Qneenstown at 10 o'clock this 'morning. The vessel had a narrow escape from destruction at Fastnet.

She was going' slowly, and was taking soundings when, notwithstanding the care exercised, she struck Fastnet rock, about three miles seaward off Crook Haven, bow on.

Forcible Sermon from Princeton's President A lew Words Concerning the Creed. Princeton, Jf. J., June aThe exercises of thehundred and forty-third annual commencement of the College of New Jersey were begun this afternoon with the bacca laureate sennen. delivered by Dr. Patton. peaking of the study of the Bible and the mothods of the interpretation, Dr. Patton said: "When I find men treating metaphor as fact, reading poetry as . they would ennatrnft an act of Congress, seeking a spiritual sense in any commonplace expression, missing tho points of a parable, I feel that Matthew Arnold was right in reminding us that the Bible is literature. You have made poor use of your facilities here, my friends, if your aro unable to understand what I mean. This, indeed, is no small nart of edu cation. . There are men who stand in our pulpits and preach on tho patience of Job .and the moral . conraire of Daniel; who find material for sentimental sermons in the season, and entertaining Rnrmona nn nnr.ial follies of the dav and nr.ict.ir.a1 sermons on the importance of sleen nr thn TiMP.d of restraining tho imagination, but who aro silent respecting the tremendous fact of sin and the dogmatic significance of atoning blood. I do not say that such men are handling the word of God deceitfully, for 1 am willing to have them plead guilty, if they prefer, of literary incapacity and an nnscholastic stupidity that prevents them from seeing that bleeding Christ is the central fact of Scripture. Cultivate discrimination, seize upon master thoughts, get hold of the big end of all 3uestions. rest your opinions m broad and eep rational foundation. Follow the great trend of evidence and don't halt for minor difficulties and don't let trifles feed doubt "Wo formulate our faith in creed statements, and after a century or two find that the church and the creed ace not in exact accord. There is nothing to wonder at. It is the same old question of the letter and the spirit. The science of ethics is becoming the science of what is rather than what ought to be, and if a doctrine of right succeeds at all, it is the determination that whatever is is right. In the name of reason I protest against this tendency in thought. I refuse to abdicate under the terrorism of popular sentiment. Historic' movement, as well as the action, of individuals, must be judged by fixed principles. We cannot eliminate doctrines because we do not liko them nor can we insert new ones ourselves because popular clamor calls for them. What is written is written, but it will bo read with different emphasis in different periods, and will be interpreted in the light of the burning questions of these periods, and will be brought into relation with science and philosophy. Do not hastily assume that every great movement is an inspired movement I haye no faith in the inspiration of large masses of men." CABLE-CAR COLLISION. Five Passengers Seriously Injured at Chicago -Two Hundred Hurled to the Floors. Chicago, June 8. Two cable trains crowded with people collided to-night at the switch, corner of Division and Clark streets. Five passengers were more or less seriously injured, but none fatally. The injured are A. II. Stafford, John L. App, Henry Sandford, Jefferson Merritgan and Herman Hentea. Unaccountable derailment of one of the trucks of the grip-car caused the collision. For a time tbere was confusion bordering on panic. The shock was so sudden and violent that nearly all of the couple hundred passengers on the trains were hurled headlong to tho lloors. In the wild scramble to escape from the wreck many women fainted, and there were scores of torn and tattered dresses. RUSSIAN PRISON ABUSES. How Criminals In Jails Are Permitted to Torment and Injure Each Other. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. Notwithstanding what Mr. Dunston savs, that tho Russian prisons compare very favorably with those of this country, evidence is accumulating that the prison abuses in Kussia are very flagrant. This is notfonly true in regard to political prisoners, but also in the treatment of minor offenses or some trilling dereliction of duty. A writer in a Moscow naper, who signs himself "Medical Correspondent," says it often happens that a respectable man is confined in prison tor a few days for some slight offense. At times even an elder of a small communitj- must submit to such a penalty for what the Russian law calls a neglect of duty. Such a person is retained in a large room together with a lot of obdurate criminals, who are either awaiting trial or sentenced to be put at hard labor in a fortress. When the reppectable prisoner comes among them, they begin to press him for a "treat of good-fellowship." He must send for a bottle of brandy. If he is not as liberal as they want him to be, they harass and torment him. Should he make a threat to complain before the authorities of their conduct they immediately decide upon performing on him the "operation of cupping." as they call it. The poor fellow is then stripped. 6tretched on a bench, and held fast. His mouth is stuffed with a rug so that his cries cannot be heard outside. A spot on his breast is made wet. and one of his tormentors rubs it with his unshaven chin until the skin becomes red. Hereupon another one slaps that spot with his fiat hand with all his might. A large blister immediately appears on the wounded place. This is what they call setting a cup. Six or eight such ''cups" are sometimes set on the breast, the sides, and the back of the sutierer. so that he is unable to lio down for several days. In some instances more serious injuries are caused. by the blows he receives. Russia refuses to permit her prison system to be discussed at the International Prison Congress meeting at St. Petersburg. m Loud-Mouthed Attorney Jas tly Fined.

THE HOUSE IS SIIOCKliD. A Down-Unit Congressman Appears In Ills Shirt Sleeves Before His Colleagues. Washington Special. For the first time in the history of the House of Representatives a member to-day took oil his coat and his cutis while he was making a speech. Strange to say, it was Joseph II. Walker, a Republican representative of the cultured State of Massachusetts. Unlike many of his colleagues, Mr. Walker has not exchanced his old-fashioned black broadcloth winter suit for flannel or pongee since the hot weather came in, and so he felt the. heat of tho hall intensely. - When he started in to oppose the free silver men he was comparatively cool, but speaking earnestly, as is his way. and being badgered by sharp questions from his opponents, he got excited aud hot. Once he said: I defy any businessman in this hall to deny this proposition." Thereupon quiet Mr. Lind, of Minnesota, a Republican, got up and said: "1 deny it, and 1 can prove that it is fallacious." "Ob." said Walker, waving his hand contemptuously, "you are not a bnsiuess man." A little later on Payson, of Illinois, one of the Republican leaders, interrupted to ask a question, when Walker said: "Oh, you are the fellow who said in the caucus the other night you couldn't be renominated without free eilver!n which stalled tho polito Payson so that he could hardly ask "a question. But the climax was reached when, as he got hotter and hotter, Walker stripped oil his lone-tailed coat, laid it on a desk, and took oil' his cutfs and laid them aside. It was so funny that the House had to laugh. Rut on second thought the House was shocked that its dignity should be treated so lightly, and - some very severe comments were made in converpation on both sides of the hall. Speaker Reed was out at lunch, and Walker's colleague. Gen. Cogswell, was in the chair. He did not feel, of course, that ho could say anything to Walker, bnt when Speaker Reed re :urned he gave a broad intimation that Mr. Walker must put on his coat or take his seat. Mr. Walker did not choose to put on his coat, eo he shortly took his seat. The only other time when a member took oil his coat in the House of Representatives for any purpose was when that picturesque Sreenbacker, George W. Jones of Texas, uring the scrimmage between Sparks and Anderson of Iowa, pulled oil' his old butternut coat to take part in the fray. MR. DEPEW AJJD POLITICS. He Declines One Tender of an Office but Is Mentioned for Another. New Tor k Special in Philadelphia Pres. A few days ago Mr. Dcpew was told by one of tho more influential of Republican organizers of the State that ho must make np his mind immediately whetherhe would become a candidate for the Senate at the expiration . of Mr. Kvarta's term next March. This politician told Mr. Depew that if he desired the nomination and would be willing to make reasonable eilort to obttin it, and would furthermore so inform his friends, they wonld take steps at once to mako those combinations, and secure those nominations for tho Legislature which would make his election probable. But it was necessary that they be instructed before the 1st of J uly. Mr. Depew considered the matter carefully for several days and he finally said that he had determined to keep out of politics so far as candidacy for oflice was concerned, for the next few years and perhaps permanently. There appears to be some disappointment over this decision, especially as it is plainly made in good faith. It is understood, however, that Mr. Depew's relations with the Vandcrbilts and tho New York Central system have been and ere now such that ho could not contemplate political activity without securing their cordial co-operation ana assent. This he cannot get. Had he been nominated and elected to the presidency the Vanderbilts would have made the be6t of their disappointment, but it is an open secret they were rejoiced when he failed to receive the nomination. He is so perfectly in accord with the Vanderbilt interests and acts as such a superb buffer in standing between them and antagonistic railroad influences that they cannot hear to think of parting with him. Mr. Depew goes to Europe early in July, and is disposed now to vary his European trip by visiting tho land of the midnight sun. Russell Harrison as lie Is. New York Sun. 'Some of the newspapers ought to describe Russell Harrison accenrutely and carefully for the benefit of their readers," said a man in the Gilsey House. I have known Mr. Harrison for a good many years, and am in one concern a business associate of his. When he went to London, just after his father's inauguration, and dined with the , Queen, the correspondents there decided to ' make him a butt for ridicule, aud, as he is a man without the slightest pretensions, .and received tho correspondents in his room at the hotel while he was packing his hand valise, instead of hiring a lackey to do it, and talked to the correspondents freely, they held him up to ridicule, more or less, as a man whoso 'Americanisms' were violent and pointed. The press is about equally divided now between expressing admiration for Russell Harrison's bravery at 'the Texas accident, and making fun of him for his action there. There is nothing remarkable about the President's son one way or the other, but ho is a sort of man whoso friends stand by him. and ho has a lot of good, sturdy, straightforward American characteristics. When he couies to this hotel he keeps clear of the bar-room, moves about quietly, does not chatter with the barbers, nor grow familiar with the waiters, winds up his New York business as soon as possible, and goes on with the work of earning his living in a thoroughly conventional and proper way. He is exceedingly close-mouthed, inclined to be rather thoughtful, and Js not lacking in consideration for his friends. Nobody claims him as a great man. but it is a great and notablo mistake to hold him up as an object to jeer at. He is not that kind of a man by a very large majority." Carnegie's Successful Vent re in OIL New York "World. . . Andrew Carnegie, tho iron king, made his first money in the oil country as a producer of oil. He and somo friends bought the William Story farm, on Oil creek, in 18C0, for $35,000. They organized the Columbia Oil Company in May of that year and preceded to develop the farm for petroleum. The farm consisted of 400 acres, and was not far from where "CoalOilJohnny" found his pot of gold. Every acre of the farm proved to be productive, and it soon developed into onn of tho richest bonanza farms of the region. Its first year's output was 20,800 barrels and the following year this was increased to S9.U0O barrels. The company was organized with a capital stock of $250,000. and in two and one-half years dividends had been declared amounting to 1C0 per cent, of the capital. In three years the production of the farm bad incrensed to 141,000 barrels, and during this year the average price, of oil was $d.$liy a barrel. During tho first six months of this 3'ear four dividends were declared, amonntiug to ICO per cent, of the capital stock, which was soon increased to $2,500,000. In ten years the farm produced 1,715,072 barrels of oil, and is still prodacing a small amouut. The total value of the output has been upward of glO.OUO.OOO. The Purse and the Prescription. Boston Poat It not infrequently happens that physicians base their advice to patients, at least in part, upon the' tatter's financial condition. A case in point. A friend tells me that his daughter consulted a physician the other day, and the latter, haviug satisfied himself as to the diflic ulty, suggested a trip to the Yoseiuite. "Rut my father cannot afford that," said the young lady. "In that case." the doctor replied, "ask him to buy you a pony and a village cart, and take a long drive every day." "Iam afraid," eaid the patient, "that papa could

"Do yon know the real reason Mr. Carlisle didn't give tho boys a banquet the night after his nomination!" a legislator asked, last night, while on the subject of the sensorial and other warm contests. 'Well, he couldn't afl'ord it. I was told by one of his friends, and in a way that con vinces me of its truth, that when ho reached Frankfort after the Heck funeral he had just 15 cents in his pocket, and that he didn't have a rent more during his stay there. The expenses of his headquarter and for incidentals were borne by his friends from Covington, and his Lick of funds was not an accident, but because he is just that poor; besides the fact that he has boen an honest Congressman and amassed no wealth. " Lik other great minds he has no earthly idea of financiering, and spends his salary as fast as it is due." ., Hint to the Senatorial Mine-Owners. Minneapolis Tribune. Tno Senate silver ring, on the other hand, want either free and unlimited coinage, or else a very great increase of the government's coinage of the present liland dollars. There is no ground for a compromise between the House plan and the fcenate's demand. Tho House Ilepublicans probably concede too much when they agree to the. compulsory purchase of so vast a quantity of bullion; aud nothing could possibly justify this large pnrchaso except its issue upon eome plan at the full market value. If the Senate will listen to reason, an advantageous silver bill cau be passed. Whistling to Keep IU Courage Up.
