THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1890.

Ptantial features of tho changes are the abolition of all special taxes, Generally known &s licensor and tbo redaction of taxes on manufactured tobacco and ennlf from 8 to 6 cents a ponnd. . The net results -will be a reduction of revenue on special taxes of $1,500,000. and a reduction on snuff and manufactured tobacco of about S4.500,000, or a total reduction of about $0,000,000. The Commissioner says there Trill be few chances in the machinery of collecting the revenue, so that dealers will hardly notice the alterations made by the law. "An Indianapolis dealer, tor instance," said the Commissioner, rwill lind that his tax on' manufactured snuff and tobacco is reduced about 25 per cent., and all special taxes are removed, but that will be the extent of the change that reaches him. There ill bo no new rules or rezulations and no new set of stamps. The whole thing will run along as before, and tho six millions reduction of revenue will be accomplished without the tobacco-dealer knowing it." MINOU MATTERS.

Itepresontatlre Miller's Meunrei in Behalf of Ex-Slaves and Colored Soldiers. JStcUl to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Oct. C Representative Miller, the colored Congressman from South Carolina, who was unceremoniously voted into the seat of Mr. Elliott, one of the last days of the session, got in some very good work during the few hours that he was in the House of Representatives. The first bill he introduced was to appron riate 1, 000,000 for the erection of homes for indigent ex-slaves, and in the measure he named as managers of the home Mrs. liar rison, Mrs. Morton, Mrs. Wanamaker, Mrs. Windom, Sirs. U. 8. Grant, Mrs. Garfield, Mrs. CJarkson, Mrs. Dudley and Miss Clara Barton. In the second bill he provided for the erection of a $250,000 monument in Charleston in memory of tho colored soldiers who -were killed -while righting in the Union army, and named Gen. O. O. Howard, Gen. B.F. Uutler and Gen. W. V. Berney as commissioners to select the site and design for the monument. There were several other similar measures proposed, which show that Mr. Miller is thoroughly aroused to the interests of his race. Hunting a Site for the Lafayette Statue, f Special to the Indiana polls Journal. " Washington, Oct. 6. A very handsome monument sent over from France ; representing General Lafayette surrounded by his compatriots is now seeking a location in the city of Washington, and a commission, which consists of the Secretary of War, the architect of the Capitol and Senator Evarts, is finding a great deal of difficulty in selecting one. The Senator went home the other day without performing his duty, but left word that ho would agree to anything Mr. Clark and Secretary l'roctor might decide npon. It was originally decided to place tho monument in Lafayette sqnare, opposite the White House, but a resolution was passed by Congress forbidding this plan to be carried out because the park was already occupied by a statue of Andrew Jackson, and the site selected for Lafayette -would obscure the latter. It was next proposed to place the Lafayette statne at one of the corners of the Treasury Department, but objection was made to that suggestion on the ground that those places r.honld be reserved for prominent tin ancle liko Alexander Hamilton, Hobert Morris, Salmon P. Chase, Albert Gallaten and John Sherman. The committee has not yet found another suitable location, and aie experiencing considerable difficulty. The Weather Bureau and Signal Corps. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Oct. 6. It is not generally known that one of the last acts of Congress provided for the transfer of he weather service from the signal corps of the army to the Agricultural Department, the change to take place on the 1st of July next. The President is authorized to temporarily detail the chief signal officer. Gen. Greely, as the head of the new bureau, but if he thinks proper he can appoint a superintendent, who will receive a salary of $4,560 a year. It is probable that he will select Mr. Willetts, of Michigan, now tho Assistant Secretary of Agriculture. General Greely will remain at the Lead of tho signal corps ot the army, which will have everything to do with the signal and telegraph service, the electrical appliances for rille ranges and batteries and the systems of military signaling on the frontier. ' Report of the Governor of New Mexico. Washington, Oct. & The annual report of Governor Prince, of New Mexico, has been submitted to the Secretary of the Interior. He says that the titles to the Spanish-American land-grants in the Territory have not been finally settled, and the subject must continue to be of paramount importance, and the tirst to be considered in any statement of the condition or needs of the Territory. The Governor estimates the population of the Territory at from 180,000 to 185,000, although the census returns for lbOOshow bnt 15:j,50f. The linancial condition of tho Territory, the Governor says, is excellent. The total ontmit of metals last year is closely estimated as follows: Gold, $1,186,320; silver, $l,tUl,105; Uead. $354,839; topper, 64,0'J0; total products. $4,028,SS4. The Governor makes an earnest appeal for statehood. Ex-l'ofttniafttcr Wheat 3lay lie Prosecuted. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Oct. C As was stated in these dispatches some days ago. Captain Wheat, of Wisconsin, the lately discharged postmaster of the House of Representatives, is liable to fiue and imprisonment under tho statute prohibiting any officer or agent uf the government accepting any consideration for procuring or aiding to procure a government contract. This is said to bo exactly what Mr. Wheat has done. It is not known whether the United Mates attorney for this District has taken any stcDs in the matter, or proposes to take any, but if he does not it is the intention of members of the House of Representatives to make a formal request of him to d0 so. Ttfalne Would Like to Speak in Ohio. Washington, Oct 0. Secretary Blaine said this afternoon, in answer to inquiries on the subject, that he could not at this time say positively whether he would be able to take an active part in the Ohio cam paign, or to accept the invitation to attend tho exposition at Atlanta. He said that Mr. McKinley had sent him an invitation, and that he had promised to render him all the assistance in his power. He would like very much, be said, to go to Ohio in Mr. McKinley's interest, just as it would give him pleasure to go to Atlanta, but the business of the department, he added, is just now so pressing that he did not see very well how he could absent himself, especially as the President is away. General Notes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Oct. C Congress having provided for a two-thousand-acre park for Washington, it is said that the next step 'will be to set aside a portion of the land for a house and grounds for the use of the President as a 6ummer residence. The issue of silver from the mints during the week ended Oct. 3 was $901,524. The issue of standard silver dollars during tho corresponding period of last year was $1,54.025.

IEISHMEN APPEAL FOB AID Kesolntions Adopted at a Conference of Leading Nationalists at Dublin. Amencans.Asted to Subscribe to the Tenants' Fund A Day of Wrangling at Tipperary The Boulanger Conspiracy. TTTE TirPERARY TRIALS. Illness of JIj. O'Mahoney Causes a Great Deal of Wrangling and an Adjournment. Dublin, Oct. 6. The magistrate's court at Tipperary, before which the case of Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien and others who are charged with conspiracy is being heard, reconvened this morning. All tho accused, with the exception of Mr. O'Mahoney, who is ill, were present, bntj their counsel, Mr. Redmon and Mr. Timothy Healy, were absent, in consequence of an important engagement which demanded their attention. On behalf of Mr. O'Mahoney, Mr. Dillon produced certificates from two Clonmel doctors, stating that he was seriously ill, and that it was impossible for him to attend tho trial. Mr. Ronan, prosecutor for tho crown, objected to the certificates as not being a valid excuse for 0Mahoney's absence, and insisted that the doctors be summoned by the court to testify as to their patient's condition. Mr. Dillon said that the doctors' certificates would have to be accepted as evidence that Mr. O'Mahoney was in no condition to appear before the court,' because the doctors themselves distinctly refused to come to court to substantiate tho statement they had already made in their certificates. Mr. Ronan then asked the court to adjourn for an hour to enable the crown to decide whether the charges against O'Mahoney would bo withdrawn or an application made for a warrant for his arrest. Mr. O'Brien was not pleased with the prospect for adjourning tho case for an hour, and he. therefore asked Mr. Ronan: "Can you not decido this matter in half an hour, and not keep us fooling around here!' The court granted the ieqnest of Mr. Ronan, and an adjournment was taken for an hour. . Upon the assembling of court Mr. Ronan - stated that the prosecution had telegraphed to two doctors in Clonmel, requesting them to examine O'Mahoney, and had sent a third from Tipperary to visit and examine the defendant. He expected that the doctors would appear in court later and testify as to O'Mahoney's condition, and he therefore asked that the court take a further adjournment. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Ronan said tht O'Mahoney, through his solicitor, had placed tho court at defiance. This remark excited the indignation of Mr. Dillon, who declared that Mr. Ronan's statement v.'as nntrue. lie - further said that be had done his best to procure the attendance of Mr. O'Mahoney's doctors in court. Mr. O'Brien said tho defendants had the right to complain against the course of the prosecution. Mr. Ronan's remark, he declared, was addressed to an audience in England, and was designed to injure the defendants. Mr. O'Brien's remarks were greeted with cries of "Hear, hear" by the defendants. A scene of confusion ensued. Mr. Ronan repeated his remarks again and again, and Mr. Dillon, who was very angry, loudly denied them. The defendants in the meantime protested against the charges made by the fro seen tor. When order was again partialy restored Mr. Dillon warmly protested against the court taking any further adjournment. He maintained that injustice no warrant could be issued for the arrest of Mr. O'Mahoney until the court had heard the testimony of his doctors. Another heated wrangle then took place between the crown prosecutor and Mr. Dillon. The court finally granted Mr. Ronan's request, and a further adjournment was taken. The action of tho defendants who are on bail is likely to result in their committal to the Clonmel jail for contempt of court. CONFERENCE OF NATIONALISTS. , Resolutions fn Behalf of Ireland America Asked to Contribute More Money Dublin, Oct. aThe conference of the Irish Nationalists called by Mr. Parnell was held in this city to-day. Part of the business of tho conference was the selection of a deputation to visit America for the purpose of laying before the people of that country a plain statement of tho situation of affairs in Ireland. - Messrs. John Dillon, William O'Brien, Thomas Powers O'Connor, Timothy Sullivan and Timothy Harrington were appointed to form the deputation. Proceedings of the, convention were conducted in private. There was a very large attendance, and most of tho prominent members of the Nationalist party were present. .. Mr. Justin McCarthy moved the adoption of four resolutions, all of which had been previously submitted to Mr. Parnell. The lirst of these pledges the fullest support of the National League to the tenants who are threatened with ruin in consequence of the couise adopted by the government and landlord syndicates. The second resolution demands that certain distressed districts in the southern and western parts of Ireland be given especial consideration by the government, and that measures be taken at once for the relief of the inhabitants. The government is called npon to inaugurate a series of public improvements, for the purpose of giving employment to the people and enabling, them to support themselves without charitable assistance. The third resolution condemns in emphatic terms the coarse of the government in causing the arrest of Messrs. O'Brien. Dillon and other Nationalist leaders arraigned at Tipperary. The fourth resolution says that the Nationalist party is compelled by circumstances to make an appeal to its friends everywhere in behalf of the Irish tenants, and it looks especially to its friends in America to subscribe generously for the benefit of a distressed people. This appeal, the resolution says, is made unwillingly, but the desperate strait in which the Irish tenants are now placed makes it absolutely necessary that assistance shall be asked from friends and sympathizers throughout the world. Mr. Parnell sent a telegram to the conference saying that ho greatly regretted his inability to be present, and expressing confidence that the deliberations of the meeting would be guided by wisdom and patriotism and would result m the good of the public. He also expressed the hope that tho mission to America would meet with all possible success. Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien, and the other Nationalists detained at Tipperary, sent telegrams expressing thoir regret that a "disgusting judicial farce" prevented their attending the conference. Messrs. Dillon, O'Brien, Sheehy, Harrison and Condon returned to Dublin to-night. They were met at the station by a great crowd, and were escorted to Mr. Dillon's residence. In response to repeated demands for a speech Mr. Dillon came out on tho balcony, and made a brief address. He said that he and his associates would be no party to parading tho Irish people before the world as a nation of beggars. Tho people ought not to be driven to beg, when there was food enough in the country. Mr. O'Brien also addressed the crowd. He praised tho generosity of the Irish-Americans, and spoke of the importance of today's conference as a parliament of the whole Irish race. The Women's Liberal Association, of Bradford, England, has given 50 to tho National .League. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. The HoulsDcer Kevelatlou Likely to Lead to a Vigorous Prosecution of Royalists.

Lazy British Dock Laborers. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Oct. C It is believed that a contest is imminent between the ship-owners and dock companies on the one side and the dock laborers on tho other. The owners complain that though the dockers, since the new rates of pay went into effect, can earn in many cases nearly a pound a day, they do not appreciate their good fortune, but are lazy, careless and insplent. It is alleged that while a vessel can be discharged of her cargo and reloaded at New York in one week the same amount of work if done by the London dockmen occupies a fortnight. The dockers' union pays no attention to complaints based upon this condition of affairs, and the bosses declare if the annoyances continue to be experienced a general lockout will become imperatively necessary, as business cannot be conducted profitably according to present methods.

To-day it was discovered that the latest circular of the leagne had been stoppea at the New Orleans postofiice. The pamphlet in question was a history of the lotteries in this country, going to show that they were advocated and supported by, Washington, Jefferson and other fathers of the Republic, and that the Continental Congress itself established a lottery in 176 which proved of great benefit in securing the sinews of war for the struggling patriots.
