THE INDIANAPOLIS JtfOKNAL, TOESDAY, HmTjKKY 6, 1891.

Seventh Cavalry by Gen. Miles, which La been telegraphed East from nnottJcml' sources, is continued at the War Department to-tlay. The otliciala, however, show a decided disinclination to talk about the matter. Neither Secretary 1'roctor nor CJen. choheld is "willing to say very much on the subject, although both practically ad mit that Ucn. Miles did not act entirely on his own responsibility. Secretary 1'roctor aid to a reporter: "Gen. Miles did it. It is a very much mixed-up matter and I may explain it later." Gen. Schotield was rather more communicative. He said: "There i not much that I can say about it just now, but I am willing to explain as far as I can. It had bee a suggested by a person whom I cannot mention that it would be well to look into the matter of the tignt on Wounded Knee creek thetother day, inasmuch as the reports state that several Indian women and children were killed. Accordingly Gen. Miles, at a suggestion from here, relieved Colonel Forsy the of bis command pending an investigation of the circumstances of that light, which investigation is probably now being conducted by General Miles. . 1 bare as yet received no otbcial information from General Miles about the matter, and all I know about what has been done is what I have seen in the newspapers. I expect a report soon. Ye, the general management of tho liirht is also to be looked into, bat the particular point in question is the death of tho women and children." It is surmised by some oflicers that the person who "suggested" the investigation is the l'resident. whose suggestions as to the army have all the weight of orders. Considerable criticism against Colonel Forsythe's suspension is beard in the War Department. It seems to be directed against the policy of relieving an officer during the progress of a campaign, instead of waiting until after the troubles are settled. As to tho charge that Colonel Foreythe allowed his men to kill women and children, it is asserted that it would be impossible, in the hurry and confusion of an unexpected fight and the subsequent stampede and pursuit, to detoct the sex of the Sioux. One officer remarked: 'It is preposterous to say that it is necessary in an Indian skirmish to stop tiring long enough to find out just what sort of an Indian you are shooting at. The women and the men look very much alike in their blanket costume, and the former are quite as fierce fighters as the men. A Sioux squaw is as bad an enemy as a buck, at times. The little boys, too, can shoot quite as well aa their fathers, and what a spectacle it would be for a soldier, on seeing a ten-year-old child pointing a loaded gnn at him, with as true an aim as the best marksman in the army, to stop his advance and cry out: "My son, you mnst drop that gun. for you are a minor, and I am not allowed to hurt yoa.' Another officer said: "At this rate the Sioux troubles will grow to be just as bad as the events of the tirst three years of the war, when every officer who had an independent command, had not only an enemy in front of him. but a court-martial behind him." Still another officer said that it was a frave error to order the relief of Colouel orsythe at this stage of the proceedings, and thus hold up a warning ringer to every colonel in the little army around Pine Kidge, to tell them that the death of each Sioux must be explained. General Schotield has received two teleKams from General Miles in regard to the dian troubles. The tirst, dated Pine Kidge. Jan. 3, is as follows: "Colonel Forsvthe reports, under date of the 2d instant, the following casualties in the skirmish with hostiles on White Clay creek. South Dakota, near this agency, on Dec. 30: Private Domin M. Traccscheth, Troop G, Seventh Cavalry, killed. Wounded First Lieutenant J. D. Mann, Seventh Cavalrv; privates M. C. Hillock and William S. Kilfiatrick. Troop B, Seventh Cavalry; private eter Claussen, Troop C: private William Kern, Troop D: farrier Kichard J. Nolan, Troop I. and first sergeant Theodore Kainer, Troop K. Seventh Cavalry." The other telegram bore the same date, and gave the list of killed and wounded in the Wounded Knee tight of Dec. 29. The list does not differ from that already given in these dispatches. OrPOSED TO TRANSFER.

Interior Department Official Do Not Want the Indians Tat Under Military ControL Washington, Jan. 5. Secretary Noble wns questioned to-day as to what' action had been taken on the recommendation of General Miles that the Indian agents of the ' South ( Dakota agencies bo'- relieved from further duty and that their places be filled by military officers. The Secretary said he did not care to discuss the matter further than to say that the subject had not been mentioned to him by any one with authority to act in the matter. It is believed,' however, that should General Miles's recommendation be submitted to him by the President for his views, the Secretary would strongly oppose the transfer. The agents sought to be relieved are regarded as competent officers, and any attempt to substitute a military ioi a civil supervision of the Sioux would undoubtedly be met with vigorous opposition by the Interior Department officials. The Secretary spoke with some earnestness of the reports that nave been in circulation recently to the e fleet that the Indians were in a starving condition, and that the pending trouble grew out of the fact that the government bad not kept its agreement with the Sioux, but, on the contrary, had already begun to cut down the rations supplied to them, in violation of all treaty obligations. The Secretary denounced these statenfents as unqualifiedly false. The story of starvation among the Sioux was a pure fabrication. For ten long years the government, in fulfillment of its treaty obligations, bad been feeding the Sioux in idleness. Some of them, however, were thrifty farmers and good citizens, but a large portion were a thriftless and indolent set. perfectly willing to spend their time in idleness and in finding fault with the government on every conceivable pretext. The treaty of 1S77, the Secretary said, obligated the government to furnish them with a certain amount of food, clothing, implements, horses, cattle, etc., until they should become self-supporting. After ten years had elapsed, during which time the government had spent millions of dollars, with a view to placing the Indians on a self-supporting basis, members of Congress very properly began to inquire whether it was the purpose of the government to continue indefinitely and forever this policy of feeding Indians who persisted in living iu idleness. They thought it was about time to test their ability to support themselves. And so the appropriation was reduced by 8100,0(0 not a very large amount when compared with the vast sum which the usual appropriation called for. Thereupon the Indian immediately began to complain, but made no eflort toward feeding himself. He occupied a vast territory containing thousands of acres of productive land. He was supplied with everything necessary to improve it and reap good crops, but he preferred to do nothing and let the government continue to put his food in his mouth. It was time, the Secretary thought, that these people should be compelled to do something, and he had lost patience with those who upheld the Indians in their idleness. He sincerely regretted that the recent action of the military bad resulted in bloodshed, and he congratulated himself that his department was in no sense responsible for it. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs says th.it, to the brat of his knowledge and belief, the Sioux Indiana of South Dakota are not starving, and that he has reason to think that the statements regarding their destitution are grossly exaggerated. It is true, he says, that Congress bus greatly reduced the appropriations for the Sioux and other tribes, and that the agreements made with them have been only partially fulfilled. Whose fanlt it was he could not say. The recent outbreak was, bethought, partially due to the reasons above stated, the failure of their crops and the religious craze. He was opposed to the transfer of the control of the Indians to the War Department. The following table shows the amount by which the estimates of the Indian Bureau have been minced by Congress from and including 1S7.: l;.i, JlOA.Uuu; INK). $V5.(J0(); lM. g'.iVm); 12.

Armj O nicer Think III Conduct in the Sitting Hull Afiair Needs Investigation. Chicago, Jan. 5. The News says: It is ftUted on definite authority that complaints

of a serious nature are to be lodged against Indian Agent McLaughlin, who directed the killing of Sitting Bull. The complaints were suggested in a mild way by a number of army officers whom a reporter visited. The sequel will demonstrate the intense feeling which resulted from the Sitting Bull afiair. Agent McLanghliu's interference disturbed the cherished plans of the Department of the Missouri, and hastened, if it did not cause, the present trouble. It is alleged that there were improper motives behind the killing. The charges against McLaughlin and otheV Indian agents will be preferred by army officers, who are satislied that the Indian agents are responsible for the Indian outbreak. Interviews with a number of army officers are then given. Colonel Corbin said: "I am positive that General Miles has never been given any official report of the killing of Sitting BulL Until the department is apprised of all of the circumstances in the case it would be unwise to express any hasty criticism of the action which led np'to thepresent complication. I know General Miles has been very auxious to learn the truth of the Sitting Bull attain Agent McLaughlin's report may have been delayed for very good reasons, but at the samo time this delay has caused much annoyance to the department." Captain Hoggins said: '0f course, in the light of recent developments, the killing of Sitting Bull becomes of greater moment than was at tirst supposed. Vet Agent McLaughlin acted under instructions and had proper authority. The situation throughout bis been so perplexing that all official actions should be regarded with much charity of judgment. I have no doubt that the report has circulated among the Indian agencies that Big Foot's band was disarmed and massacred, and yon can well imagine the incendiary ett'ect of such a report. The rumors in regard to McLaughlin's conduct in the Sitting Bull afiair may be equally false. It is simply another illustration of the clash of authority between the War Department and the Department of the Interior." Col. E. M. Heyl said: "The unexpected action of Agent McLaughlin in the Sitting Bull matter completely upset the campaign which General Miles had planned. It was his wish to settle the disturbance without bloodshed. When the agent went out with his police and killed the chief the present trouble was precipitated. Of course, McLaughlin acted under orders, but these orders were given him either at his own request or on representations made in bis reports. There are many things in connection with this matter which cannot be made public now. but will develop in an investigation to follow later." INDIAN TERRITORY BRAVES.

They Are Raid to Be Greatly Disturbed Over tlie Newi from the Northwest. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 5. The Associated Press correspondent at Guthrie, O- T., telegraphs aa follows concerning the situation among the Indians on the various reservations surrounding that Territory: "The news of the killing of Sitting Bull and the subsequent engagement between the military and the Indians at Wounded Knee, together with exaggerated reports of what the Indiaus believe to be the massacre of the Sioux squaws and children, reached Indian Territory Indiana only a day or two ago. The news was tirst learned by the Cheyennes and Arapahoes. A pow wow wasjheld among the chiefs, but it is not known what, if any, course was decided upon. It is known, however, that runners from the Cheyennes and Arapahoes have arrived at the reservations of the Sao and Fox, Iowas. Otoes and Kiowas, all of whom are located but a short distance from here. They spread the news of the conflict in the north, aud invited delegations to a ghost dance which they propose to hold at Ked Kock, sixty miles north of this place. The Cheyennes and Arapahoes have also received news that the government intends to disarm them. It is not known here whether there is any truth in the report, but, however that niey be, it has greatly disturbed them. A friendly Iowa who was in the city today said the Cheyenne and Arapahoe runners had told the Iowas that they would resist any attempt at disarmament, and advised them the Iowas to do the same. Captain Cavauaugb, commanding the Uuited States troops at this place, was asked if there was any truth in the report that the government had determined to disarm the Indians. He would neither deuy nor contirm the report. He intimated, unguardedly, b owever, that something was to be done, and quickly, too. The ranks of the posts in the Southwest have been partially depleted by sending parts of regiments north, but enough soldiers still remain to control the situation.it is believed. Keinforcements from other departments could be easily brought here. The settlers do not seem at all disturbed over the situation.' believing in the ability of the government to subdue the excitement here among the Indians, who are much more civilized and friendly than the northern Sioux. An Order That Causes Alarm. Wichita, Kau., Jan. 5. The orders telegraphed from military headquarters to Captain Woodson, of the Fifth Cavalry, to disarui the Indians in the Cheyenne and Arapahoe country, hare created the greatest anxiety among the settlers in Oklahoma and on the borders of Texan, and genuine alarm among the troops. Tho Indians of theRe southwestern reservations are peaceable enough now, and those who know tbe nature of the red man, see in this proposed disarmament a menace to the continuance of the comparative quiet which now exists. The ghost-dancing is of a mild character. rilASES OF THE TROUBLE. Settlers "Who Were Forced to . Leave Their Homes Supplied with Rations. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 5. Governor Thayer to-day received the following telegram from Washington: At your request rations will be issued for the time being for the people who have been obliged by the Indian treaties to leave their homes. This, of courw, 1 only for the emergency. They should be prov ided for otherwise as eoon a possible. Directions have been given for the Issue of any anus and ammunition that can be spared from Fort Robinson. The supplies can be sent from the arsenal IX there are not sufficient at the fort. Bedfield Proctor, Secretary of War. Tho Governor is also in receipt of an extended letter from Hon. Geo. W. Martin, special relief commissioner, whoisat Iiushville, in which he says the apprehension ou the part of residents in the small towns along the northwestern Nebraska border is fully warranted. Settlers for miles around have llocked to towns, fearing an attack from roving bands of Indians, and the settlements are menaced. Many trains arriving in Lincoln to-day brought one or more companies of the Nebraska National Guard on route to this locality. To-morrow practically tbe whole of the State militia will be concentrated on the border. ( Aid Asked for Starving: Indiana, Precis! to the Indians polls Journal. Waiusgton Jan. 5. The Secretary of the Interior sent a communication to the House, today, which gives some rather startling details concerning tho starving conditiou of the Sioux Indians. To a certain extent the papers sent to Congress bear out the assertions which have been made that the government has brought ou the rreient hostilities by failure to properly provide for the Indians. Secretary NoMe asked that an immediate allowance of $l.Mooo be itade in addition to all allowances heretofore made or asked Tor. To show the need ot aid. the communication reviles paspatres from letters received from person in the Indian country. One letter from Captain Conrad states that the Indians are absolutely in a starving condition. He pays that the government rations allowed for seven days are not tit to irive a man the bare subsistence of life lor two days. This letter, having as It does the otfccial recognition of the Interior department, appears to utrengthen the arguments which have been made In behalf of tho suffering Indians. "Want to Co to the Front. Chicago, Jan. 5. Captain Mathey, formerly of the Seventh Cavalry, but now stationed at Chicago, said this evening that the fUhting with the Pioux is having a marked effect at the army recruiting ofiicea. lie Is in charge of that branch of the service at Chlcneo, and finds that since the slaughter at Wounded Knee the number of applicants for enlistment here has lust doubled. A curious coincidence lies in the fact that Capt. Mathey was until a few months aco, the commander or Troop K, of the Seventh Cavalry. His Immediate predecessor in command was slain In the Nez Percea outbreak and hit immediate successor was Captain Wallace, who perUhed at Wounded Knee. How Captain Wallace Died. Leaveswoktti, Kan., Jan. 5. A letter from Pine Ridge agency details some hitherto unknown facts concerning the death of Captain

Wallace at Wounded Knee, After the fight, the letter states Captain Wallace was found at tbe entrance of an Indian lodge with live dead warrlonUlng near him, each Indian corpse showing a bulUt wound. Five of the chambers in the Captain's revolver were found empty, and, from the position In which the bodies lay. It is presumed that Wallace killed the five Indians before he was overcome.

Preparing for a Ghost Dance. Pierre, S. D., Jan. 5. Twoparties In from Bad river yesterday report that the Indians all along "the river are preparing to hold a ghost dance. They came from the Black IIllls, and made the trip in two diys and a half. They state that the Indians at the forks of Bad and White rivers are also showing signs of right.

Mr. Stanley may be an authority on matters on the Congo, but what he, don't know about the North Americas-Indian would till a book larger, than "In Darkest Africa."

SCOTCH STRIKERS EVICTED

led? Forced to Yacate the dwellings Owned by the Various fiaijjvj Companies. J: Disturbance at MotherwAllQelled by the Po lice and Military Ital.atisfied with the JicKinley Law Manj Skaters Drowned. . 1 x U V SCOTCH STRIKERS. Many Tenants of Ilooses Belonging: to the Railways Evicted i:(ot at Motherwell. Glasgow, Jan.' 5.torhough the railroad strike is practically ended, to-day may be aid to have been the tnost exciting day in the history of the 6trike. Seventy policemen, backed by a squad o! Hussars, are evicting, the strikers from tbe houses belonging to tbe railroad companies, which they occupied as employes of the railroads. No actual violence has been reported, but many distressing scenes have been witnessed. Much suffering seems in store for the families of tho unfortunate strikers, who now more than ever before, have tbe sympathy of the public. The evictions generally were allowed to proceed. Some houses, however, were barricaded against the evictors, and when battered open were found to be crowded with people, who. refused to retire and were forcibly ejected. A few stones were thrown and there were outbursts of hooting and jeering ai the oflicers from onlookers. Although late this evening quiet was restored, police andmilitary were picketed in the streets' and about the railway station. A serious disturbance occurred at Motherwell to-day. Motherwell is a railroad junction thirteen tniles south of here, and there are extensive iron-works and coal mines in the place. A disorderly crowd composed of strikers and their sympathizers hostile to tbe authorities had leathered, and when ordered by the police to disperse refused to do so and began a general stone-throwing. The shcrill then read the riot act aud a squad of polioe and military charted the crowd and cleared the street The rioters, however, soon began to do further mischief. Six of their number bad received wounds from policemen's clubs, and the sight of these injuries greatly incensed them. They -quickly gathered again and attacked the railway station, taking possession of the building aud wrecking the signal boxes. Trains were compelled to run through the station without stopping1 because of the fusillades of stones which the mob showered upon them. Eventually the military tired blanks at the crowd and succeeded in dislodging them from the station. A detachment of police, which was telephoned for to Glasgow, was received, oh arrival, with groans and hisses, but the rioters soon dispersed in the face of the superior force of their opponents. It was only -through the Lord Provost's casting vote that any of the Glasgow police were permitted to go to Motherwell, half of the Glasgow magistracy desiring to throw all responsibility of quelling the disturbance at Motherwell on the military. While a number of miners were returning from Motherwell, where the Caledonian Kail way Company recently attempted to. evict some of its striking employes from their homes, they sacked a shop in the village of B lan tyre, eight mi lea, from the city. The men acted in a riotous manner, and their actions finally became so threatening that the villas? authorities were forced to summon military aid to quell the disturbance. It is feared that the miners' sympathy with the strikers will introduce a turbulent element into what was hitherto a comparatively orderly movement. The North British Railway Company has taken out 21 8 additional snmmonsesagainst strikers for leaving their posts without giving the company due notice. A mass-meeting of strikers was held to day. at which resolutions were adopted condeming the provost for assisting in the work of evicting strikers from their homes. Mr. Burns, tbe labor agitator, addressed the meeting. He promised the men the support of the London trades-nnions and predicted a speedy victory for the strikers. At a meeting at Berwick resolutions were passed expressing sympathy with the just demands of tbe men. A fund was opened in support of the movement. Altuough a large number of trains were run to-day there was great delay to both passengers and freight. It is stated that there are signs of further accessions to the strikers from the ranks of the workers on account of the heavy duties imposed ou the latter. ITALY "WELL. SATISFIED. . She Hai No Cause for Complaint Against the McKlnley Tariff Law. ' Rome, Jan. 5. It has been ascertained from high ofhcials as well as from interviews with the leading members of tho Italian Parliament, that Italy is well satisfied with tne working of the new American tai ill" law. The government commission, which was appointed to investigate and report on the probable effects of the bill, has but recently oompleted its task, and their report shows that under the new tariff, about 48 per cent, of Italian exports to the United States are ad mi ted free. of duty. 37 per cent. at a - reduced duty, 12 per cent, at the old rate, while the duty is. increased on less than 4 per cent. This report, together with statistics published by the ltaliau press, have brought about a very favorable state of public opinion regarding the law. "We have 210 cause for complaint against the United States on account of the new tariff," said Prime Minister Crispi, and this diplomatic opinion is more than indorsed by all the deputies interviewed bv the Associated Press correspondent. The placing of straw braids, a most important product of Tuscany, on the free list, and the reduction of duty on paiu tines and statuary are among the provisions that have given the greatest satisfaction. While the . commerce between Great Britain aud the .United States and France and the United States has been steadily declining during tbe past ten years, statistics just published in La Riforma, the official organ of Prime! Minister Crispi, show that Italy's commerce with tbe United States has been steadily increasing till it is now exceeded by only three other nations of Europe. Since the bill went into effect it coutinues to increase at as great a rate as before. It is no secret that the reason why Italy refused to consider the subject of joining other nations in reprisals against the united States was her satisfaction with the new tariff. The report published recently .that on account of the McKinley law Italy would make no exhibits at the world's fair to be held at Chicago is entirely untrue.. The report of the! Italian Department of Agricnltnre shows that the crops in Italy the past year wr the largest harvested for many years. For the previous five yearn Italian crops ; .have been, to a great degree, failures, so tfeat a great impetus to Italian commerce is now predicted, although the tightness of the money market has as yet prevented the full benelit of the abundant harvest.! The financial difficulties which have troubled alike both continents have extended lo Italy, and stocks aud bonds of nearly ml kinds have greatly declined. The bonds jof the government, however, have maintained their accustomed values, having; tipctuated scarcely 1 per cent. x : Tbe formation is anuounced of a company nnder tbe name of1 the Banaria Italian Steel and Tin-plate Manufacturing Com pany. Tbe capital is td.be $00,000 and the plant is 10 cost &2$,0i)0. As the Italian duties on steel and tin-plate are from 40 to Wiper cent, ad valorem the projectors of the company expect to, reap large profits in supplying a market of W.WUOO people. V 1 i .

Farnell Will Probably Retire In Favor of O'Brien Archbishop riankett'a View. London, Jan. C The Paris correspondent of the Times confirms tbe report of the probable retirement of Mr. Parnell on the condition that Mr. O'Brien rep.?s Mr. McCarthy as chairman of the Irish party. Archbishop Plunkett, in addressing the Protestant Alliance at Dublin, to-day. in reference to the Parnell crisis, said that God, in His mysterious dealings, was vindicating the majesty of the law of the land in bringing just retribution upon an unholy alliauce. The Church of Koine had itself to blame for raising the spectre of anarchy, vrhich it now found hard to lay still. Protestants were unable to rejoice at tbe weakening of a priesthood called upon to quell the inroads of immorality and anarchy. At a meeting of the local brauch of the National League at Longford yesterday, there was such a warm exchange of views upon the subject of Mr. Parnell that the assemblage was disrupted. The anti-Par-uell faction, headed by the secretary and treasurer, left tbe place of meeting in a body. The majority of those who attended the meeting, together with the president, all being Parnellites, remained in possession of the halL The Austrian Mine Disaster. LoNnoN. Jan. 5. A dispatch to the Times from Vienna states tnat ill ty persons were killed outright by the explosion that occurred in the Trinity coal-pit, in Polish Ostrau, on Saturday last. A later dispatch from Vienna says that sixty bodies of victims of the explosion have already been recovered from the coal-pit. The bodies of the unfortunate miners which have been recovered from the pit present a horrible appearance. They are terribly scorched, and so dreadfully mutilated that it is very difficult to identify them by their features. Seventeen of the men, who were recovered in an unconscious condition, have since been revived. Heartrending scenes are witnessed at the mouth of the pit as the rescuing parties continue to bring the mangled forms of the ill-fated miners to the surface. Most of the victims of the explosion were married and were men of family, and the lamentations of their bereaved relatives who are crowded about the fatal spot are pitiful in the extreme. Count Wilezek, the owner of the pit, attended the funeral of the unfortunates who were buried to-day. What Cuba Demands from Spain. Madrid, Jan. 5. The statement is made that in the report presented to tho government by the Cuban delegates a request is made for the suppression of Cuban export duties, a reduction of navigation dues, and a modification of various other duties. It Is also stated that the delegates desire that when the question of a reciprocity treaty between Spain and America relative to Cuba is discussed, the duty on surar imported from Cuba may not be raised, and that in return for this the duty on petroleum and other American products be reduced. They also seek a free esle for Cuban tobacco In Spain. The government is closely examining the whole subject prior to entering into negotiations for a treaty of commerce with America. Delegates from Catalonia, the principal manufacturing province of Spain, have arrived here to urge the rights of that province to be heard before the government begins negotiations with the United States. Accident on Board Torpedo Ram. Genoa, 'Jan. 5. An accident, which maybe attended by fatal results, has occurred on board the new steel torpedo rain Vesuvia. From the report which the naval officers have given to the publio, it appears that a steam pipe suddenly exploded, severely injuring two engineers and five stokers. Further Information is refused as the accident is to be made the subject of an oflicial investieatiou upon the part of the naval authorities. The Vesuvia is of 3,530 tons dla?laceiuent. carries two 25-ton guns, and has 700-horae power. She was launched in 1886. Germany Invalid Insurance Law. Berlin, Jan. 5. The Foreign Office has sent a circular to the foreigners residing in this city and its vicinity, directing their attention to the advantages of applying the invalid and aged insurance law within their households. The circular admits that the government has no right to enforce the law, but suggests voluntary acceptance. United 6ta tea Minister Phelps approves of the government's suggestion, and he and tho members of the American legation will act upon it, so far as their own households are concerned. Cable Notes. Emperor William has sent to the Sultan of Turkey a present of a Jeweled sword. The body of the late Alphonse Teyrat was, yesterday, incinerated in the crematory at the cemetery of Pero La Chaise, Paris. The warehouses at the Quay San Lnzzaro, at Genoa, were destroyed by fire yesterday. Two thousand bales of cotton were burned. The total loss will be very heavy. A Paris paper learns that Germans and Portuguese in East Africa are in dispute about the ownership of coal mines in the It ovum a district, which divides the respective powers. Mullett and Delaney. two of the Irish Invincible sentenced lu connection with the Phoenix Park muruers, were discharged from Down patrick prison yesterday, their terms of imprisonment having expired. A confidential circular has been sent out by the Russian Minister of Justice to tbe Judges and Imperial procurators, instructing them to refuse permission to Hebrews to enroll as barristers. Those already practicing are to receive notices of expulsion. Paris Le Temps, in an article on the New Foundland fisheries question, says tbe dispute has become an angry one. It would not be surprising if President Harrison and his Cabinet nought therein a diversion from Internal politics by rinding an excuse for an appeal to American jingoism. Talleyrand's Remarkable Career. From V.'hlte'aw Beid's In trod action to tbe Memoirs in tbe Century. Talleyrand has been dead fiftv-t wo years. Within two months the first volumes of the memoirs he left are to be issued. He himself forbade their publicationuntil thirty y jars after his death, and at that date his literary executors found a further postponement necessary. He was thought to be the depository of more secrets than any other man of ' his day, with greater power over the reputations of more men, living and dead. Natnrally these memoirs were long awaited with a singular mixture of curiosity and alarm. The career these memoirs portray was and remains onparalleled in modern Europe for length and variety of distinguished service, beginning with Louis XVI, from whom he received his tirst appointment, and from whom he went later with a letter to the King of England, Talleyrand served in all eitfht known masters besides a great number of others who were at one time or another said to have him secretly in their pay. He became president of the Constituent Assembly which organized the French revolution. He was sent to London on a secret mission with a wassport from Danton. He was Minister of Foriegn Ailairs under the Directory, under the Consulate, under Lonis XVIII. and under Louis Philippe. In diplomatic skill and snccess contemporary public opinion held him the first man of his period that is to say, for half a century the first man in Europe. As to real inlluence on ailairs, it is doubtful if any minister bince can be said to have exerted as much, with the exceptions only of llicniarek and Cavour. Even they did not cover so wide a range, ordeal with such a bewildering variety of negotiations, extending over bo great a time, and furthering the views of so many masters. m m Suggestion for the Farmers Monde Times Of the 150 members of the Indiana Legislature, which meets next Thursday, 102 are farmers. If they do not "shake'' the politicians and bring about reforms in the in terest of tax-poyers they will have notody to bold responsible but themselves. If they allow the Uourbon-Democratio politicians to control things, they will only prove that

The Hepublican Governor stands ready to approve legislation in the interests of the people, and it only remain! for the Legislature to act. Ornamental Male Clerks. Philadelphia Inquirer. It is a fact that it pays retailers in certain lines of business to employ handsome and ornamental male clerks, says a Baltimore merchant, just as much as it is prolitable for confectionery stores to present the smiles of a pretty girl with every box of bon-bons. We may soar as hi h as we will in onr philosophy, yet the vulgar truth remains that In the hundreds of thousands of women shoppers in New York there is a large class that enjoys being waited upon by a good-looking man. . "Yes," said he, 'I always employ goodlooking clerks. It took me a long time, however, to tind out just what sort of good looks I required. When I was first advised to get some handsome men into ' my otore, I cast about to tind a tine lot of strong-featured and athletic chaps fellows that wonld be conspicuous anywhere for their muscular beauty and lineness of countenance, but not only did I tind this a dillicult task, but the few examples I could secure seemed to have no attraction for the ladies at all. 'Finally a friend pot me on to the fact that I mnst employ an entirely different order of fellows. I must get a lot of whitefaced, slim-waisted, perfumed and .oftToiced chaps, who onld look unutterable things on the slightest provocation at a lady of any appearance or age. I fonnd snch men as these very abundant, and I now have no less than twenty who are, nvery one of them, more or less wotshiped by the ladies who come to rny hop,' A Uride'a Cliaruilngr Qualities.

A line carriage is aline thing to have, provided the wheeling in good at thin sawn of the year. Freshness in its way is not to be despised: but after all sympathy is the sort of thing to go along with a carriage. Not for Sale. Ean Franclco Chronicle.
