General Agent. MIL CLAEKS0X INTERVIEWED. Ea Talks About the Tariff, Reciprocity and Mr. Blaine's Political Future. Chicago, Oct 1. Ex-First Assistant Postmaster-general Clarkson arrived in this city to-day. In the course of an interview with a reporter he said, speaking of the tariff, that he was pleased with it as a whole, and he thought tho country would indorse it "Though, liko a new boot," he added, "it will doubtless pinch in a few places at first" Re did not favor the sugar and tin-plate schedules as passed. He continued: "There U no doubt reciprocity 1a very, very popular. No one seems able to give an i exact definition of it, and doubtjess to its mysteriousness much of the popular interest is due. For myself I look upon reciprocity as protection's option ontfree trado. That ie as near as I can comeb it, and that, it seems to me, is about right." "Do yon think Mr. Maine will be an aggressive candidate for the presidency in 'I do not. The man does not live who would refuse the presidential nomination, and were Mr. Blaine to be tendered it he' would accept. Hut he will not tischt for it. Mr. Bl&ine I look upon as the greatest force in the world to-day. 1 he blending together of tho countries into one harmonious commercial whole ho desires to see, and if, through the operation of his ideas reciprocity and the principles adopted by the pan-American congress such a blending should come to pass, his name would bo made more imperishable than his occupancy of tho presidential chair could make it" Raisin Crop Damaged by Rata. San Francisco, Oct l. For the past three days the rainfall has been quite general throughout the State, and up to yesterday more than an ipch had fallen in many 5 laces. Considerable damage has been one in Sonoma county, acd in the San Joaquin valley to the raisin and grape crop. At apa grapes are reported as rotting badJy. and they will be saleable only for distilling purposes if the rains continue. The raisin crop of El Cajou. Sweet Water, and other southern fruit valleys, promisedto be nearly double the output of last year, and continued ram means a loss of over 100,000. At i re.sno many trays of raisins are stacked iu the vineyards, and until tho weather brightens sutiiciently to allow their being uncovered the damage can only be approximated. Letimates have placed tho loss as high as C per cent ot the entire crop of the county. ew Mot of Straw Paper-Maker. Chicago. Oct, 1. The WeHtern straw paper manufacturers of tho district west of tho Allegheny mountains held a secret meeting at the Sherman House this morning. Seventy-two mills with a total daily output of u00 tons were represented. It is uropoaed to select two "sales agents," whose duty it shall be to inquiro into tho Btate of the market and keep tho roillpwners supplied with information. President Castle denied that a trust was about to be formed. "We simply want to reduce the expense of producing wrapping-paper, which now costs gl.10 per one hundred .ponnds." said he. J. II. Halladay and II. ' u. Ityado were appointed "eales agents."

Noted English and German Scientists Welcomed to America by Andrew Carnegie. New York, Oct l.To-day the first session of the Iron and Steel Institute was opened in Chickering HalL Monday and Tuesday tho American Institute of Mining Engineers hold their sessions, which were also attended by the scientific Englishmen and Germans who are now visiting this country. The foreigners turned out bright and early from their headquarters in tho Park Avenue Hotel, and wero in Chickering Hall promptly at 10 o'clock, when tho convention was opened. . Sir James Kitson, the president of the British association, opened tho meeting this morning. He said a few words of congratulation to the members of his society upon having an opportunity to visit and eeo for themselves the resources of this country. Mr. Andrew Carnegie then delivered the address of welcome. He dwelt upon the close friendship which has always existed between the manufacturers of England and America, a friendship that was increasing year by year. The interest of one country was tho concern of another. The United States was a great consumer aud a great producer, and her superabundant prosperity could not fail to rellect in a liko manner npon all other countries. He was glad to have the honor of bidding tho members of the Iron and Steel Institute a hearty welcome to America. "You are welcome, thrice welcome," he said, "to the shores of the Republic whose people appreciate your efforts so successful in the cause of progress and civilization." Sir James Kitson responded to Mr. Carnegie's welcome. Mt ie, indeed, an honor to us," he said, "to be welcomed here by Mr. Carnegie, who is the largest manufacturer of iron and steel in the world. The remarkable reception we have been given here since we landed justifies us in believing that we aro welcomed as well by avast number of the people of tho United States." Sir James then went into a history of the Iron and Steel Institute. It was interest iug to note the rapid progress of the Gilchrist process, under which last year there was produced 2,212,000 tons of iron. The Iron and Steel Institute, ho thought, had done something to warrant the grand reception they were now receiving. Ho knew the treatment of the American iron trade in the past was stupid, if not heartless. But Englishmen have grown wise since then; there is room for all countries and manufacturers. General Sherman here came upon the platform and was introduced to the chairman. The audience gave him an ovation. The arrangements for the excursions of tho members of the English and German institutes throughout the country was then announced. The first excursion will take flace this afternoon by steamer up the Indson. The delegates will all leave on Saturday morning lor Philadelphia. WASHINGTON'S FIRST EXPOSITION. An Erent That Created Unusual Interest, and Was Opened by an Ex-IIoosier. Spokane Falls, Wash., Oct. 1. The first exposition ever held in the State, of Washington opened here to.-day. Despite the strike of union carpenters the exposition building was completed on time by scores of leading men of the city turning out and taking the place of the strikers. Their example created a furore of public interest Society ladies banquoted non-union carpenters, and formed themselves into a committee for the purpose of getting the whole city to turn out The public schools were closed. Tho Mayor issued a proclamation calling upon the business men to close their stores and otlices. General Carlin marched down from Fort Sherman with live hundred regular troops. Militia, police and firemen turned out In short, whole cities apparently made it a point to attend the opening. The exposition is not confined to Washington, but includes exhibits from Idaho, Montana, Oregon and British Columbia. Half an hour after the doors opened twelve thousand people passed into the great building, and the crush was so great that thousands returned home unable to get admission. Hon. W. H. Calkins, formerly of Indiana, delivered the opening address, while local military bands from Sherman and a trained chorus of three hundred voices contributed music. Cashier ana Collector Gone with 85,000. Los Akgelks. Cal., Oct. 1. George Martin, a book-keeper and cashier, and James Dunn, a collector of the Santa Fe Railroad Company, have disappeared, and investigation shows they have robbed tho company of about 3,000. Both are young men and unmarried, and moved in good society. The stolen money was spent in fast living. It is believed the men have gone to Mexico, and an effort will bo made to' bring them hack. The company will lose nothing, as both men aro under bonds. , Killed on Top of a I'As&cnger Train. Creston, la., Octl. A lad named Brown had a terrible experience yesterday. In company with George Mulligan, aged about eighteen, he climbed ou top of a passenger train at Creston to steal a ride. While going under a covered bridge young Mulllcan's head struck a rafter and ho was instantly killed. His comrade held on to tho dead body for many miles before the train was stopped, and was in a pitiable condition from tho fright and exhaustion of his terrible ride.

CONGRESS TAKES A VACATION

Close of Ono of the Longest and Most Fruitful Sessions of That Body, Both louses Adjourn After a Day of Confusion . and Barry, in Which Little Legislation of Importance Was Accomplished. President Harrison Visits the Capitol and Signs tho Tariff and Other Bills. An Ovation to Himself and Cabinet from Members Work of Congress Heartily Approved House Postmaster Wheat Ousted. BUSY DAY AT HIE CAPITOL. The President Vlilttt the Uullding and Facilitates the Closing Work of Congress. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. . Washington. Oct 1. There was a scene of confusion about the Capitol to-day. Everyone was in a state of nervous expectar cy as the hands of the clock moved along to the time when the first session of the Fiftyfirst Congress would come to an end. Nervous faces were everywhere. Men who had spent months in trying to secure the passage of hills , were hesieging members to make a last eifort. Women implored Congressmen to get through their private pension bills. Around the doorways to the floor of the House were crowds trying to got at the members. The clerks in the enrolling rooms were up to their ears in work, for it is essential that bills should be Iranscribed on parchment and placed before the President for his signature before the session expires, in order to make them operative. About two o'clock President Harrison and Private Secretary Halford and the 'entire Cabinet arrived at the Senate end of the Capitol, and proceeded to the private room in the Senate lobby known as the President's room. The arrival of the distinguished party drew a swarm of people to the Senate corridors, and for a time the Senate chamber and the floor of the House were almost deserted, as Senators and members left their seats in order to pa3 their respects to the President. It had been the intention to make the visit purely a business one, for the purpose of signing bills before the session expired, but it was soon transformed into a reception, in which members of both parties took part. First came Chairman McKinley, the hero of the present Congress as far as the tariff is concerned, and with him was McMiltin, the Democratic tariff leader iu the absence of Mr. Mills. Messrs. Cannon, Turner and all of the members of the ways and means committee in town were among those received. The' work of signing proceeded rapidly, the President asking the advice of his Cabinet when a bill was reached concerning their respective departments. It was 3:22 p. m. when the President signed the tariff bill. Incidentally the President took occasion to express his satisfaction at the work of the present Congress, the final disposal of the tariff bill appearing to give him the most satisfaction. Secretary Blaine was a conspicuous figure during the reception. He chatted concerning the various bills and joined with tho President in expressions of satisfaction at tho work accomplished. There was no quorum in the House at any time to-day. a fact to which Breckinridge, of Kentucky, called attention at the beginning of the session, and if he had insisted upon the point of order he would have prevented an adjournment, but after an informal caucus of Democrats in one of the cloak-rooms it was decided not to raise the point aeain. Kverybody realized that it would be a week or so before a quorum could be brought here, and nothing could bo accomplished by raising this technicality. Under the rules there is always a quorum present unless some one calls for a count of noses, and it was decided to let tho deception stand without calling attention to it. There was a good deal of anxiety on tho Republican side until the decision of the Democrats was madd known. CLOSING WORK OF THE SENATE. No Action on the Labor Bill Three Veto Messages 3Ir. Morton's Speech. Washington, Oct. 1. In the Senate today the reading of yesterday's journal having been dispened with, Mr. Sherman offered a resolution for the appointment of a committee of two Senators to join a like committee on the part of the House to wait on the President of the United States and inform him that unless he shall have any further communication to make the houses are now ready to adjourn. Mr. Blair I desire, before adjournment, to call up the labor bill and have action upon it; and I would not like any resolution to be adoptod that would interfere with tho disposition of that bill. Mr. Sherman The resolution looks merely to asking tho President whether ho has any further communication to make. Mr. Blair But it also contains a statement that the two houses are ready to adjourn. I insist that the Senate 6hall coneider this bill. The Vice-president Is there objection to the present consideration of the resolution? Mr. Blair I object if its consideration is to interfere with the consideration of the labor bill. Mr. Edmunds The resolution will not interfere with your motion. Mr. Blair It concludes with an intimation that we are ready to adjourn. The Vice-president Does the Senator from New Hampshire object? Mr. Blair I withdraw my objection on tho intimation that the resolution will not interfere with the labor bill. Tho resolution was agreed to, and Messrs. Sherman and Harris were appointed the committee on the part of the Senate. Mr. Manderson, from the committee on printing, reported back the House bill to revise the wages of certain employes in the Government Printing Office, with a substitute providing that the pay of all the employes engaged exclusively on night work, between 5 P. m. and 8 a. m., shall bo 20 per cent. In addition to the amount paid for day labor. Placed on the calendar. Mr. Edmunds moved to proceed to executive business. Mr. Blair appealed to the Senator from Vermont to withdraw that motion in order that the labor bill might be taken up. Mr. Edmunds insisted upon his motion, and the Senate went into executive session. When the doors wero reopened a conference report on the House bill in reference to contracts for surveying public lands was presented and agreed to. THREE VETO MESSAGES. The Vice-president laid before the Senate three veto messages from the President, two of them on bills referring to the Court of Claims! the claims of Charles P. Chouteau and of the Portland Company, of Portland, Me., and tho third one, the bill to prohibit book-making and pool-selling in the District of Columbia for tho purpose of gambling. The President's objection to the latter bill is that it does not prohibit bookmaking and pool-selling, but on tho contrary permits it in the caso of the Washington Jockey Club, and of other clubs owning race-tracks. If that form of gambling was to bfl prohibited, an the President thinks it should be, the prohibition should apply to all persons and all places. Tho President's reason for vetoing tho bill for the relief of Chan. P. Chouteau was that the Court of Claims basalrcady made a finding of all the facts in the case essential for the guidanco of Congress in caso it should decide that an appropriation to pay tho claim

ought to be made. The three messages were laid on tho table. A message was received from the House asking concurrence in a resolution to make another correction in the tariff bill in paragraph S18. Mr. Edmunds objected and the resolution was not considered. - At 2:55 the tariff bill, enrolled, was received from the House, with, the Speaker's signature, andit was immediately signed by the Vice-president and seut to the President of the United States for his signature. Mr. Aldrich thereupon reported back the adjournment resolution amended so as to fix the time at 5 p. M. to-day, and it was agreed to. At this point Mr. Blame, who bad accompanied the President to the Capitol, stepped into the Senate chamber and was greeted with cordiality by several of his lormer associates Messrs. Dawes. Cullom, Hawley, Ingalls and others. Mr. Ingalls Srcssed him to come into his old seat, and tr. Blaine having complied with therequest, was for a time the center of a pleasant group. He looked very bright and cheery, and seemed in excellent spirits. MESSRS. MORTON AND INGALLS T HANKED. Mr. Harris offered a resolution tendering the thanks of the Senate to Vice-president Morton for tho dignified, impartial and courteous manner in which he had presided over the deliberations of the Senate. Adopted unanimously. A resolution similar in its terms was offered by Mr. Ransom in compliment to Senator Ingalls as president pro tempore, and it was also unanimously adopted. A message was received from the House that the adjournment resolution had been amended by substituting 6 o'clock for 5, and the amendment was concurred in. Mr. Sherman, in company with Mr. Harris, reported that the committee ot the two houses had waited on the President, and had informed him that the two houses had concluded their business and were prepared to adjourn if he had no further communication to make them, and that the President; had answered, that he had no further communication to make. A messago was received from the House, announcing its concurrence with the resolution as to negotiations with great Britain nnd Mexico to prevent Chinese entering the United States. Mr. Morton then rose and said: Senators Before making tho announcement that will leave Senators at liberty to return to their homen, I express my most grateful appreciation of tho resolution of approval and confidence with which you have honored me. Assuming as I did, the responsibilities of the chair without previous experience as a presiding oilicer, it is not necessary for me to say that if I have discharged the delicate and important duties of the portion in a satisfactory manner. It is due to the indulgent consideration and cordial co-operation which I have received from every Senator on this floor. I indulge in the earnest hope that I may be permitted upon the reassembling of Concress to see every member of this body in his seat, in renewed health and strength after a season of rest from the arduous labors of this, the longest continuing session, with one exception, In the history of the government. I feel that I may, with good warrant, congratulate the Senate and the country upon the large number of important measures which have received the eareful consideration of this body and become laws. It only remains for me to declare, as I now do, that the fcenato stand adjourned without day. Applause. THE DAY IN iTJE IIOTJSE.

Sir. Allen Makes a Political Speech and Is Called to Task Mr. Wheat "Fired." Washington, Oct. L In his prayer this morning the Chaplain of the House referred to the approaching end of the session and invoked the divine blessing upon tho members during vacation. Beforo the reading of the House journal to-day Mr. Breckinridge of Kentucky raised the point of order that there was no quorum present. While waiting a quorum a message from the Senate announced the agreement to the conference report on' the tariff bill. Sh-irtly before 1 o'cleck Mr. Breckinridge of Kentucky withdrew his point, but it was immediately renewed by Mr. Kilgore of Texas, but a few minutes af forward Mr. Kilgore relented and withdrew his point, and the journal was read. Mr. McKinley of Ohio called up theHonse concurrent resolution directing the Clerk to number consecutively the paragraphs of the enrolled tariff bill with Senate amendments thereto. The amendments were agreed to. On motion of Mr. McKinley a concurrent resolution was agreed to directing the Clerk to make a further correction in the punctuation of the enrolled tariff bilL . Mr. McKinley offered a resolution for the appointment of a committee of three members to join a " similar committee on the part of the Senate to wait upon the President and inform him that Congress is ready to adjourn if he has no further communication to make. Adopted. Mr. Grosvcnor of Ohio, from the committee on rivers and harbors, reported back a resolution directing that committee to examine and report, without delay, whether the navigation of the Ohio river, at ana above Cincinnati, is impeded by reason of the construction of warehouses, vessels and dykes by private individuals and corporations. Mr. Owens of Ohio objected to its consideration. Mr. Carter of Montana submitted the couference report on the bill to dispose of the Fort Ellis military reservation in Montana. This bill, Mr. Allen of Mississippi took as a very remote text for a political speech, in which he charged tho Republican party with degeneracy and inconsistency. To say that the Republican party had begun with Abraham Lincoln and ended with Benjamin Harrison, was proof that the party had gone to seed. Mr. Allen criticised the Republican campaign hand-bonk, and aarcastically referred to the fact that it made no reference to the speech of tho gentleman from Ohio I Mr. Kennedy, making charges against the chairman of the Republican national committeecharges which had never been denied. DEMOCRATIC SLANDERERS SCORED. Mr. Bayne of Pennsylvania denied the truth of the charges- Attacks had been made upon Lincoln, Grant, Blaine, Garfield and Conkling, and now attacks were mado upon another Republican leader. Not a name of a prominent Republican in tho past twenty-five years had escaped calumny. Not a prominent Republican whose name had added luster to the history of the country had been exempt from attack. Not a single man who had done exceeding honor to this great country bad escaped the venom, the spleen, the calumny and the meanness of tho Democratic party. Who were dishonored? The men who made the attacks; not the men who were attacked. On this floor he had never heard Republicans attack a prominent Democrat. That was not the method of Republicans. Their methods were those of decency, and their habits were those of gentlemen. Mr. Allen replied that he had not made any attack upon a Senator or upon the chairman of tho Republican national committee. He had merely referred to the remarks of the gentleman from Ohio. The gentleman from Pennsylvania had listened to a reiteration of those remarks without objection, but now he became indignant when a Democrat merely referred to them. Mr. McCreary of Kentucky gave notice that he would raise the point of no quorum against the conference report, and Mr. Carter thereupon withdrew it. The Speaker appointed Messrs. McKinley, Perkins and McMillin as the committee to wait on the President. Mr. Caswell of Wisconsin submitted a letter addressed to tho Speaker by James L. Wheat, Postmaster of tho House, tendering his resignation. Subsequently Mr. Spooner of Rhode Island, from the committee on accounts, submitted the report of that committee upon the subject. The report states that the charges made by the Knlo resolution against the Postmaster of the House have been substantially established, and although the relations between Dalton, the previous postmaster, and Culbertaon, the mail contractor, gives rise to grave suspicions' that some private arrangement existed between them whereby Dalton, during tho Forty-ninth and Fiftieth Congresses, derived personal pro tits out of his contracts for carrying tho mails, no absolute proof has been obtained. OFFICE OF POSTMASTER DECLARED VACANT. The report was accompanied by a resolution declaring tho ofliceof postmaster of the House vacant, and directing tho as

sistant postmaster to perform the duties of postmaster until a postmaster shall have been elected and duly qualified. Mr. Hayes of Iowa, submitted a minority report, agreeing in substance with the majority report, but dissenting from it in its reference to Postmaster Dalton. Mr. Dalton's conduct of the otlice had been clean, and a mero suspicion against him should not have been incorporated In the report. Pending discussion upon the question Mr. McKinley called up the resolution for final adjournment, with an amendment, fixing the hour at 6 o'clock. Agreed to. The Wheat resolution was then agreed to. The Speaker laid before the House a letter from Representative E. H. Conger, stating that he had forwarded to the Governor of Iowa his resignation asa Representative from the Seventh district of that State, The Speaker further 6tated that he had received a substantially similar communication from Representative Dehaven of the First district of California, but that the latter bad been mislaid. A Senate concurrent resolution was agreed to, requesting the President to enter into negotiations with the governments of Great Britain and Mexico for the prevention of the entry of Chinese laborers into the United States. Mr. Caswell of Wisconsin asked unanimous consent for the consideration of a resolution electing P. J. Flint, of Wisconsin, as postmaster of the House. Mr. Williams of Ohio objected, and Mr. Caswell withdrew his resolution. Mr. McKinley of Ohio, chairman of the committee appointed to wait upon tho President, announced that the President had no further communication to make, and then the House took a recess. During the recess nearly all the members left the hall to make preparations for their departure from the city, and when tho Speaker reconvened the House, that ollicial looked down upon a rast array of empty seats. He merely stated that, according to the concurrent resolution, he declared the first session of the Fifty-first Congress adjourned without date. MIND-READER JOHNSTONE. Ee Does Not Use a "Fake" Hood, and Will Play Base-Ball Blindfolded.

CniCAGO, Oct L W. E. Gooding, manager of P. Alexander Johnstone, the mindreader, arrived here from Minneapolis this afternoon, and in an interview warmly denied the statement of a Chicago physician that the hood used by Johnstons was transparent and that by slipping the bandages down the mind-reader was enabled so see. Mr.Gooding added: This doctor has abulging forehead, andby contraction of the eyebrows can raise bandages placed over his eyes. Then by having a 'f ako' hood made, which opens by a pull on a cord, he gives a socalled expose of Johnstone's work. Johnstone frequently, and during warm weather especially, does not use any hood, and as a matter of fact his hood has no strings attached to it, and further he always allows any one who wishes in an audience to examine it. Probably over twenty thousand people have made a personal examination of it. The hood used by the Doctor would not stand tho investigation of a dozen people, and it is singular that some of the scientific men with whom Johnstone has worked should not have observed these cords and loop-holes if they actually existed. "Wo are perfectly willing that any newspaper hero should select a committee of prominent men in whom people havo confidence, and subject Johnstone to the most rigid tests. On Saturday he will play baseball at the National League grounds while tboroushly blindfolded and controlled by Captain Anson. The latter is to stand on the home-plate and 'will' Johnstone to do certain feats. This should afford sufficient evidence that Johnstone is just what he claims to be. The Doctor's 'expose' is simply a bid for notoriety, pure and simple.'1 FLURRY m SILYER CERTIFICATES. Unusually Large Transactions at New York and a Quick Rise in the Price of Bullion. New York, Oct LThe trading in silver certificates was very heavy to-day, 1,190,000 ounces being sold in the New York Stock Exchange, and there was an equally heavy business between the brokers outside. The sharp change in the situation since yesterday morning was a decided surprise. At one time yesterday the prospects appeared decidedly unfavorable. One of the most prominent German houses sold nearly 1,000,000 ounces, and forced tho pnep down to $1.0934. It was said that this selling was for the account of a tool which had been carrying a large block down from around from 1.19, ana silver men say that when this silver was known to have been sold they were willing to begin buying again, and buying orders came in from many sources to-day, carrying the priceup to $1.1418. Rumors were current that the advance was caused by purchases of a big "bull" .pool, but these reports were not believed, and brokers, active in the recent trading, ascribe the improvement first, to the removal of the pressure hanging over the market; second, to the higher market in London, where an advance of l34d is reoorted. and third, to the purchases by the government for the account of the October quota under the new silver bill. United States officials believe that the decline which ended yesterday was the work of London operators, who depressed the market for silver in order to make better terms in their semi-annual Indian settlements, which begin to-day. NO LOTTERIES L MISSISSIPPI. State Constitution to Contain a Section Which Strikes a Blow at the Louisiana Fraud. Jackson, Miss., Oct. 1. The constitutional convention to-day completed consideration of the remaining sections of the report of the legislative committee. It will be observed that tho Louisiana lottery has received another severe -blow. Among the sections adopted was one reading: 'The Legislature shall never authorize any lottery, nor shall tho sale of lottery tickets be allowed, nor shall any lottery heretofore authorized be permitted to be drawn on tickets sold therein Colonel Hemstreet, an influential member of the franchise committee, and heretofore one of the stancbest supporters of its report, startled the convention late this afternoon by submitting a resolution instructing the committee on revision to omit from tho Constitution, Section 5 of the franchise report, which renulres qualified electors to be able to read the Constitution or to understand the same when read, and give an interpretation thereof. Hemstreet's defection is the talk of the town to-night, and is accepted as an indication that the franchise committee is weakening in the face of hostile criticism from certain Mississippi newspapers. At the evening session the resolution was tabled by a vote of 02 to 51. Want the President to See a Fajreant. St. Louis, Oct. 1. The following dispatch was sent to President Harrison this afternoon: The undersigned, representing tho municipal Kovemment and the commercial, agricultural and manufacturing interests of the city of tt. Louis, have learned with xtl$nure of your contemplated visit to tho Mississippi valley in the near future, and unite in conveying to yourself and party. In the naiue of all the people of this pruat city, a most cordial invitation to visit fit. Louis as our guests.

We alc you to come and witness tho enterprise and growth or our city and btate, aud to give nr people opportunity of doing honor to the chief magistrate of the Nation. The dispatch was signed by the Mayor, the presidents of tho Merchants' and Cotton Exchanges and of the Mercantile Club. A dispatch from Washington says tho President has not made a definite answer to the telegram, but he will probably accept the invitation and stop at bt. Louis on his way to Kansas.

Efforts of the State Department in Behalf of Persecuted Jews in Russia Confirmations by the Senate Speakers for Indiana, RECIPROCITY AT ONCE. Contradiction Given tn Mr. CarllKle's StatementAn Error In the Tariff Rill. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Oct, L In referring to tho Bpeech of Mr. Carlisle, yesterday, in which he stated that there was no intention on the part of the administration to take advantage of tho reciprocity amendment to the tarifl bill, it vras unolhcially stated at tha Department of State to-day thattho work of negotiating treaties with the sugar-growing coantrlea would commence at once. The error which it was intended to correct in the tariff bill occurred in paragraph 31S, concerning chocolate. A parenthesis was misplaced, with the result that 6wctuat 6wci 2 cerTpe ened chocolate Is included in the 2 cer7 per pound duty. As the concurrent resolution to correct the error which passed the House was objected to in the Senate, the attempt to correct the enrollment has failed, and if any remedy is applied it must be taken hereafter by joint resolution. Senator Aldrich's statement of the meaning ot the tar ill bill is considered so good, from & Republican point of view, that it will be made one of the leading campaign documents for the West When a subscription list was opened on it this morning Senatdr McMillan opened tho demand with an order for 40,000, to be circulated in Michigan.

Lewis and Goodnight have united in tbe preparation of a report setting forth their opinion of the results of tbe investigation. The report reviews tbe evidence in the refrigerator caso, and says: "We lament the conduct of a publio official who invokes the fine technicalities of criminal law to screen himself from proper investigation, and to hide from public view the details of a business which is being conducted from one of tho government bureaus, and concerning the character of which so many and such damaging charges have been made." As to the cnarge of tbe advancement of pension claims for Lemon, for consideration of his indorsing the Commissioner's note, the report states that no intimate friendship is shown to have existed between the Commissioner and Mr. Lemon, and there were no business relations before. Why should Mr. Lemon a good business man risk $12,0C0 upon one who is afraid to havo his solvency inquired into? The completed tiles system was just what Mr. Lemon demanded, and so soon as established he was ready to underwrite for the Commissioner, which he had never beforo done, though often consulted by the Commissioner about his needs during several months before. It is thus clear, says tha report, that Mr. Lemon was favored and benefitted. It is equally clear that Commissioner Raum was placed under obligations to Mr. Lemon something no rugged integrity can approve and no delicate sense of propriety endure. In conclusion the report reads: Thus it seems to us that the Commissioner of Pensions bag not properly esteemed the delicate duties and serious responsibilities of his great office; nor has he measured up to that high standard of patrlotlo consideration for the public efrrice which should prevail la this department, adjudicating the disbursements of nearly onethird or the entire revenues ox the government. The Pension Office is altogether too sacred a place for the development of the personal thrift and enterprise manifested in this record. It was established that the nation might rroperly care for those to whom it owes a gratitude too sacred for trilling. It is a monument to the munificence of a grateful people, and Its hundreds of employes should be ministers ot mercy, not stock gam biers. That a place thus hallowed should hare been used for stock jobbing or speculation, converted into a spawning place for corporations and a stall for'bartering doubtful patents. Is a reflection upon our government, a degradation of the publio service which we think cannot be too strongly condemned. If the real and sensitive demands of the occasion be measured by the example of the forbearing Nazarene who scourged from the Temple merchants and money-changers, or by the commendable conduct of President Arthur In removing an associate Justice of the Arizona Supreme Court for borrowing money of an attorney practicing before him. Congress must agree with us that there should be a betterment of publio service by a house-cleaning In the Tension Bureau. As tho majority of the committee intend to pursue the investigation further at the next session of Congress their report will not be made until that time. EDICTS AGAINST THE JEWS. Tbe State Department's Correspondence with llusiia on the Subject. Washington", Oct. 1. Tbe President today transmitted to the House, in answer to a resolution concerning the enforcement of proscriptive edicts against the Jews in Russia, a repdrt from the Secretary of State on the subject. In his letter Secretary Blaine refers to the correspondence on the same subject sent to the House in 1882, and says that since that date correspondence has been had with the government of Russia in 6evcral cases of alleged interference by the Russian authorities with tho rights of citizens of the United States professing, or being supposed to profess, the Jewish faith. Ho says that the correspondence shows that the United States government has omitted no proper occasion of remonstrance against the application of a religious test to our citizens In Russia, or having interests . in Russia, and against the mforcement of a disqualification founded on sucb test, which proceeding is without warrant of recognition in the treaty stipulations between the United States and Russia, and, moreover, is repugnant to the fundamental doctrine of freedom of conscience and of equality of religious belief ou which organized society almost universally rests. The Secretary further saya that when it wa' Hist reported that a powerful government was about to take measures resulting in the expulsion of vast numbers of its subjects Lecauso of their religion, the Department of State immediately telegraphed an inquiry, and Mr. tJeorge W. Wurtz, our charge d'Atfaires ad interim, replied that, the rumor was without foundation. As tho reports continued to reach this country, however, Mr. Wurtz was directed to make a full report. Aug. I) he replied that ae had tho highest authority for maintaining that the Russian government does not contemplate any changn from the present lenient enforcement of the Jewish edicts of 1882. ritorosALs rou wau vessels.
