THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1891.

or t o days early in the week for considerntiou of this measure, but the Representatives in charge of the appropriation bills are insisting on rights of way, and the Democrats, with a few exceptions, intend to exert all their power to prevent enactment of the shipping bill into 1:4 w, relying for success partly ou the near adjournment of Congress and the apparent necessity of devoting much of the time to the appropriation bills. The report of the R&um investigation, and the recommendation of impeachment in the case of Judge Boardinan. of Louisiana, are matters of the highest privileee on which action of the House is desired. It will thus be seen that the House has a large amount of work to accomplish within the next nine days, but the Republicans need only three additional members to make up a quorum, and are confident of their ability to expedite business necessary to carry out their programme. The silver bill is not included in the. schedule of business arranged , by the majority. The silver men are disheartened at the prospect for currency legislation daring this Congress, but expect to make one more effort to compel a vote on the silver bill, although in order to do so it will be necessary to make some motion commonly regarded as not within the purview of the rules or of parliamentary practices. The Senate will endeavor to dispose of the measures decided on by the caucus commit tee a few, weeks ago. FAREWELL TO EVARTS.

After the discussion of the menn and cigars were lighted there were numerous informal toasts. Mr. Evarts was toasted, and responded feelingly. President Harrison was the last speaker, be having been toasted by Senator Evarts, and his speech was . in response thereto. He paid a high tribute to Mr. Evarts and his ability. He referred to the long and honorable public services rendered by the Senator in varions capacities, and also ppoKe in tenner terms ox ins esiimaoie personal qualities. Senator Vest made a very appropriate and pleasant speech complimentary to Mr. Evarts. He closed with a toast to Senator Spooner. whose approaching retirement from the Senate had been frequently alluded to during the evening by the speakers, and always with sentiments of high esteem for Senator SpoonePs abilities and personal traits. Mr. Cockrell spoke with complimentary reference to both Messrs. Spooner and Evarts. Vice-president Morton toasted Senator Hiscock, who responded with sentiments appropriate to the occasion.

Feb. 21 An important change in its rules which the United States Supreme Court made before adjourning Friday, is attracting a great deal of attention from lawyers throughout the country, and some of them seem to be in doubt as to its purpose. The effect of the modification of the rules made by the court is to compel the docketing of each case bronght before it within thirty days from the time the appeal is taken from , the decision of the lower court. All anneals, writs of error and cita tions must be made returnable to the SuTiruin a Pnnrl'. Iiir t h & lAvrnrnAnrtanrStliin ttiia period of thirty days, unless for some good reason a special order is made in any case. - This change in rules is of equal force wether the court is in session . or in vacation, for unless cases with the records are docketed within the prescribed period of thirty days they will be dismissed. Heretofore many months might intervene between an appeal and iU docketing on the records of the court, advantage being taken of this privilege in cases where the principal object of the appeal was to delay a final decision. The attention of the court was directed to this state of affairs by the proceedings in the Jugiro electrocution case, and it was for the special purpose of meeting this habeas corpus case the new rule was framed, but it is made of general application and will affect all cases before the conrt. It is thought probable that the rnle will, to some extent, reduce the long calendar of cases before the court. 3IINOK MATTERS. The Kind of Currency Advocated by Socklees Jerry and Other Alliance Men. Spruti to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 22. The new Alliance men in Congress, or, rather, those elected, are making their record already. Representative-elect Kerr, of Nebraska, has announced that he opposes all enrrency which is redeemable on the around that to promise redemption is to pledge for contraction. "Sockless" Jerry Simpson, who comes into the House from Kansas next week, says the United States Senate must be abolished. He thinks one house enough lor Congress, and adds that the Senate Is not of the people, nohow. Jerry is for the cuh-treasuiy bill, tbe 2-per-tcent.-land-loan bill, unlimited coinage, unlimited unredeemable greenbacks, warehouse receipts of all kinds tor farm produce and general commission. The older Democratic members of the House are trying to devise means of boosting the Alliance members of the next House out of their ranks, and want them to occupy seats on the Republican side, where they will not be confounded with the Democrats by visitors. ; Washington Birthday at the Capital. Washington. Feb. 22. Washington's birthday was appropriately celebrated here this evening by memorial services at Albaugh's Opera-house, under the auspices of the Military Order of Washington.

FINANCES Or TIIK VATICAN. The Budget of the Papal Exchequer and flow It Is Expended. London, Feb. 2 For some time the Italian Liberal paper have been saying that the finances of the Vatican are in a dilapidated state, and that the pontifical anthorities have been forced to economize in many ways. The proposed entrance tax to the Vatican and Lateran museums, it has been stated, is one of the means by which the income is to be balanced with the outlay. In answer to these assertions the Cittadina, of Genoa, has famished a summary of the ordinary budget of the Holy See, and says that the object of the economy of the pontifical authorities is to enable the Pope to 'devote larger amounts to the aid of schools, missions, seminaries, etc. The budget of the papal exchequer, according to recent statistics, varies between $1,8S0,000 and $1,520,000. This is apportioned as follows: At the disposal of the Pope, 95,000; for the cardinals, $133,000; for poor dioceses, $S7.400; prefecture of the sacred palaces, $342,000; Secretary of State, $UX,000; for the employes, $283,000; for schools and the papal almbnty, 23,000. The money placed at the disposal of the Pope covers not only his personal expenses, but those of the gifts made by him to sovereigns, the purchase of works of art, and the benefactions dispensed directly by himself without passing through the usual channel of the papal almonry. From the appropriation for the cardinals is paid the vearly allowance of $3,600 given by. the Holy See to each of the cardinals resident in curia. Foreign cardinals have no claim to this pension. The subsidies bestowed on poor dioceses, needy priests and seminaries come from the fund for poor dioceses. To the prefecture of the sacred palaces, to which is assigned the largest amount, $342,000, belongs the entire expense of the papal court and the Vatican Palace. It also maintains all the other apostolic palaces and buildings owned by the Holy See. The expenses of the museums, which amonnt to $19,000 a year, are paid by the prefecture. From the $190,OoO appropriated to the' Secretary it State come the salaries, traveling expenses, and so on, of the nuncios, pro-nuncios and prelates on extraordinary missions. When the papal government came to an end the employes of the various pontifical bureaus generally resigned their places rather than take servico under the new rulers. To reward their loyalty to him, Pope Pins IX came to their aid. No tixed assignment was made to them, but they received timely assistance, which has not ceased during the twenty years the temporal power has been lost. The present appropriation of S2S5.000 is mnch less than that of previous years, and grows less annually. How the $28,000 appropriated for schools and the papal almonry is spent is told by the title of the appropriation. This appropriation increases every year. This is the ordinary budget of pontifical outlay, but often the Pope contributes large sums to ecclesiastical institutions. More than once of late he has assigned nearly 2100,000 to the Sacred Congregation of the Propaganda, which has charge of the missions all over the world. TARNEIX GROWING TAME. Ills Speech Yesterday Devoid of the Usual Bltterneaa That Characterizes Ills Utterances. Special to the Inrtianaioiia Journal. London, Feb. 12. In his speech to-day at Koscomnion Mr. Parnell . avoided all allusion to the attacks upon him, and he seldom spoke of the matter. He addressed his auditors in a calm xnajuner. arguing on the subject of Irish home rule, and urged that it would be absolrite folly to accept any less than the terms which he had demanded. He argued that Ireland was entitled to a Parliament with the fullest power to deal with Irish affairs, and subject only to the sovereign vote; that the land and police shouid be fully committed to Irish care, not after an interval of five years, bat immediately upon the organization of home-rule Parliament. He advised his hearers to think for themselves as Irishmen, not as dependent on the opinions and guidance of any English faction or party. Mr. Parnell was cordially received by a numerous assemblage, and some rode attempts to insult him met with no encouragement. It is believed that Mr. Parnell intends to pursue the calmly aggressive course which he illustrated in his speech to-day. and that he will disappoint those who expect to se y him indulge in the bitterness which he showed at Kilkenny. Mr. Parnell made a number of short speeches on his way to Koscommon. The general burden ofhis remarks was that not even the Healyites dare say that Mr. Gladstone's assurances are satisfactory. The men to whom Ireland has looked in confidence bad not sunk low enough to accept Euglish gold for their subservience to the English parties. At mass in the morning the Catholic curate at Koscommon appealed to his fellow-townsmen to have regard for the purity of domestic life, and not to attend the meeting to be addressed by Mr. Parnell. A pastoral letter from the Bishop of Cioy ne was read in all the Catholic churches in County Cork to-day. In this the Bishop warns the Catholics of his diocese that the thieats uttered by Mr. Parnell since the rupture of the Boulogne conference point to a design to iuduco the people to ignore the precepts of religion and deny the authority of the church. Timothy Healr, M. P. for Tyrone, and Jeremiah Jordan, M. P. for Clare, tried to address a meeting to-day at Carrick-on-Shannon. The crowd hootod and would not allow them to be heard. The crowd was nearly all Parnelhtes, and brought things to a close by smashing the outdoor platform from which the speakers had attempted to deliver the address. SUPPORT FOR CARDIFF STRIKERS. Large Gathering of Sympathizers Addressed by Michael Davitt and Mr. Ttllett. Special to the IndisnapolU Journal. London, Feb. 22. The meeting in Eastern Park, to-day, in support of the Cardiff strikers was attended bjr about seven thousand members of the trades-unions. The gathering was orderly and respectable, and both- speakers and audience avoided any impression of disorder. Michael Davits, who has just returned from Ireland, was the principal speaker. He urged that all the workers in Great Britain should be joined in a universal union for the support of each others' interests. The employer, he said, had shown the example in the shipping federation, avast combination for a mutual object, and it was by a general and binding pledge to support each other in their just claims that the rights of workiiigmen could bo upheld. Mr. Davitt was heartily applauded. Mr. Tillott and others earnestly urged that the workiugmeu of all trades should come to the support of the Can! id' strikers. It was, he eaid. not a local contest, but ono iu which the principles of trades-nuionin is now at stake. A victory ot the dock company would attect more thau the dockers' uniou. Twenty bauds ot music weTe present and played at intervals dnring the meeting. The new hands engaged on the Bute docks at Can! iff are not expected to live on shore, but are kept on steamers laid to and stationed in the middle of the docks. Transit to and from their work is by boat. They receive SO shillings a week wages. 8LADKKE1 11Y ZOLA. A "Writer of Prurient Fiction Saya We Cannot llecoxne "Honest and Respectable.' Paris, Feb. 22. In literary circles here Berlin and elsewhere the greatest interest is taken in the American copyright struggle. Emile Zola, when informed that the copyright bill bad passed the United States Senate, said, in substance: "I will not believe that the bill will pass both houses and become a law until I know that it is signed by the President. American pub

lishers have been stealing for so long a time, and the American book-vender has. for so many years been feasting on stolen food that the consciences of both are hardened. I do not believe that at this late day they will show any scruples or manifest any signs of repeutence. It would not bo natural. The Americans are a practical race, and so long as publishers can get their books gratis they will not pnt a barrier between themselves and these rich poaching grounds. Finally, I do not believe that the United States will becomo honest and respectable." GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

Gladstone Charged with the Downfall of Premier Crlspl of Italy. London, Feb. 22. A dispatch from Rome says that the article which Mr. Gladstone wrote under the nom de plume of "Utadonos" m the Contemporary Review for Octooer. 1889, was undoubtedly the principal cause of the overthrow of Signor Crispi and his Ministry. The article in question was reprinted in Italian and widely distributed throughout Italy. In it Mr. Gladstone pointed out that Italy was a country which had contrived in less than a Quarter of a century of peace, from the time from her restored independence, to treble taxation of her people, to raise the charge of her debt to a point higher than that of England, and to arrive within one or two short paces of bankruptcy. The appearance in the triple alliance of a country so circumstanced was, Mr. Gladstone did not scruple to say, no better than a gigantic piece of political tomfoolery which was so strange as to be grotesqneand which even would be comio were it not ruinous. The recent signal defeat of Signor Crispi in thepopularchamber shows, as does the policy of the new Ministry, that the people ot Italy are coming in in-' creasing number to hold the opinion to. which Mr. Gladstone gave such vigorous and convincing expression eighteen months ago. Squabble Over an Undertaker's BUI. London, Feb. 22. The Duke of Westminster, the wealthiest of English noblemen, is engaged in a squabble in the courts with a surgeon named Surell, over the cost of embalming the Duke's eon, Lord Robert Grosvenor, who died at Constantinople. The claim, which includes professional attendance before the death, amounts to 223 Is. The Duke is only willing to pay 42. There is something behind the dispute which has not yet come to the surface, as the Duke is worth many millions. The plaintiff was anxious to have evidence taken at Constantinople, but this the Duke strenuously resisted, and the court decided the point against the plaintiff. There has always been some mystery about Lord Grosvenor's death. Complimented by Dr. Wlndxhorst Berlin, Feb. 22. At the dinner given by Ilerr Barth, last evening, to the members of the Reichstag. Dr. Windthorst offered a toast in honor of Mr. William Walter Phelps, the United States minister to Germany. In offering the toast the clerical leader said that America, notwithstanding the "temporary madness" shown by the administration of the new tarifflaw, was still the model by the imitation of which Germany might insure the spread of happiness and liberty among the people. This sentiment was heartily applauded by Herren Rickert, Schroder, Bamberger, Siemens and other political loaders present. Oaman Dlgna Will Fight Again. London. Feb. 22.

SUNK IN TENNESSEE COVE

Ship Elizabeth Wrecked on the Pacific Coast and Eighteen Lives Lost Driven on the Rocks Near San Francisco During a Furious Gale Life-Saver Drowned While Going to the Vessel's Rcscua, San Francisco, Feb. 22. The ship Elizabeth, of New York, which went ashore on the rocks at North Head last night, had twentysix men ou board the captain, two mates, the cook and twenty-two sailors; also, the captain's wife and two children. Three sailors, the captain's wife and children got off in a small boat. The boat capsized, but the occupants were rescued by a tug. It is thought the rest of the vessel's crew were drowned. A life-boat went to the shipwrecked sailors, but was capsized by the waves and thecaptainof the boat drowned. The ship is breaking np fast on the rocks and will be a total loss. Tngs have taken two parties of men across tho iay to San Salito, and they have started over the hills to search the beach for survivors. Later. It is now known that the captain and seventeen sailors of the ship Elizabeth were drowned in last night's wreck. The details of the wreck are hard to obtain, as the point where the ship went on the rocks is inaccessible by sea, and to reach it by land a climb of several miles over the mountains is necessary. The place is called the Tennessee cove, and is four miles north of this entrance to the harbor on the Marine county shore. The story of the wreck, as told by one of the survivors, blowing a fnrions gale from the southwest, and tinally the tug Monarch came to the Elizabeth's assistance. The men say assistance was refused, because of the exhorbitant charges asked by the tug. The tug Alert then made fast to the Elizabeth, but her hawser soon broke, and the ship drifted before the wind towards the shore. Just as the second hawser was made fast she struck the rocks. Then Capt. Colcord lowered the boat to take his wife and children off. As the boat struck the water it capsized, throwing three sailors, James Taken, George Hanna and Brant Johnson, in the water. They clung to the bottom of the boar, and were picked up by the tug. The Captain's family-were then lowered into another boat and taken to the tug by the mate and two seamen. The boat returned to the ship, and itsocenpants perished with the rest of the ship's crew. The tugs were unable to get near the ship, and late at night returned to port leaving the vessel to its fate. Early this morning the tug went to the scene of the wreck and found that nothing was left of the Elizabeth. he had gone to pieces during the night. As soon as the .wreck was reported last night the Fore point life-saving crew, commanded by Captain Henry, started in a life-boat for the wreck. They were being towed in by the tng when Captain Henry was washed overboard by a' big wave and drowned. The life-boat conld not get near the wreck and returned to the station. About midnight last night the life crew was taken across the bay on a tng. and started over the mountains to Tennessee cove with wickets, ropes and other apparatus. No report has been received from them, and it .is not known if any of the men were rescued. The Elizabeth was a wooden ship, built at Newcastle, Me., in 1682, and was of 1,775 tons. She was owned by A. Hall, of New York, and commanded by Capt. James Colcord aud carried a crew of twenty-six men. ahe was twelve days out from New York and carried a cargo of assorted merchandise, consigned to Williams, Diamond & Co. For thirtv-six hours the wind has been blowing a fnrions gale and is increasing in violence every hour. Mnch damage has been done to the shipping in the harbor. At the same time that the Elizabeth struck yesterday the British ship Jasmine also hit her bottom but got off and stood out to sea. Movements of Steamers. New York, Feb. 22.

O ver Fl f ty-Foar Fee t Above Ia w Water at CI nclnnati, and Rising an Inch an Hour. Cincinnati, Feb. J 22. At 6 o'clock tonight the Ohio river at Cincinnati stood fifty-four feet and four inches above low water and was rising one inch an hour. This was a rise of twenty-seven inches in the twenty-four hours ending at 6 this evening. 1 News from above is that the river is stationary at Pomeroy, but from Point Pleasant, at the mouth of the great Kanawha, down the Ohio to Cincinnati the rise is at the rate of an inch an hour, which rate has been maintained dnring the past twelve hours. At Portsmouth, O., at 6 o'clock, to-night, the river' was 53 feet and 10 inches, and was rising an inch an hour. The rise below Cincinnati is not correspondingly rapid, as the lower tributaries have not been Hooded, though the Kentucky river is pouring out a moderate rreshet. Business men here are preparing for a rise of not over fifty-six feet aud six inches from the present flood. It is expected that the maximum stage will be reached here- by 6 o'clock to-morrow night, and that then the river will remain stationary till 6 on Tuesday night, when it will begin to fall. This is based on the condition of a continuance of the present fair, cool weather. But the signal-service chart to-night exhibits conditions that are usually followed by a rain in the Ohio valley within twontv-fonr or thirtysix hours. Should heavy ram come to add to this freshet within thirty-six hours a repetition of the flood of 1883 and 18S4 would not be improbable. Already tlie Cincinnati Southern railway, is receiving Eassengers at Eighth street and Mcean avenue instead of at the Central Station. The Big Four has to come through water to get to Central Station, which is not yet flooded. No rise in the river can disturb the passenger traffic of the Chesapeake & Ohio. The present prospective rise will cause some inconvenience to the roads that enter Central Station, but will not stop them. At midnight the stage of the river is 54 feet and ten inches and it is rising an inch an hour. Cat Off from Food Supplies. Charleston, W. Va., Feb. 22. News from Pocahontas county is to the effect that a considerable number of people living in the upper part of that county who wero cut off from supplies of food by the recent terrible storms are in a destitute condition.
