people of the Mississippi valley, and make prompt and liberal appropriations for the levels. Not only the property of the people bnt their lives as well are dependent upon maintaining the levees, and this can only be done by the national government coming to their assistance." The Louisville, New Orleans &, Texas railroad having 6aHered great damage by the overflow last season. Mr. II. F. Keynolds, commercial agent of the company, was to-day interviewed concern ing the outlook. lie said: "I hao been in communication to-day by wire with all points between this city and Memphis, and the conclusion arrived at is that the present condition of the Mississippi river and tributaries threatens a disastrous overflow from Memphis to New Orleans. The main river, as well as the tributaries, is higher than at this date last year. The greatest apprehension is felt by all living in the Mississippi valley, and if immediate help is given by Congress many millions of dollars worth of property can be saved. The planters and people have not been idle, but, seeing the great danger that threatens their lands and homes, have done and are doing all their means, limited by their last year's misfortune, will admit. The hard tight of lbOO is now being repeated, with the rivers higher than last year, and still rising at an alarming rate. A repetition of the devastation and disaster of 1S00 would mean a loss of millions to the States of Arkansas, Mississippi . and Louisiana and to the country." A Natchez dispatch says: "Tho government steamer General Newton returned to-day from the Kemp levee, whither she went with a barge of lumber and other materials to be used in strengthening the levee. The continued rise in the river necessitates constant and active work in order to make sure that it will hold out against the water. This levee will require constant work until a decline sets in, and the utmost watchfulness will be necessary to save it," A special from Greenville, Miss., says: "The Mississippi at this point continues to rise steadily and will, it is expected, within the next few days, attain a height within two feet of its maximum of last yerr. This condition will create a txeineDdous strain on the levees, many of which are new and untried. On the great part of the levee, for want of funds, no work has been done, consequently the levees furnish no greater barriers to the floods than at the close of last year's overflow. The people of the lower'Mississippi valley have exhausted all their available funds in closing crevasses caused by last year's Hood, and are now without necessary funds to continue the work." FELL ' INTO THE RIVER. Collaps of a Fulp Mill and Death of One of the Employes Narrow Escape of Others. Watertown. N. Y.. March 1. The largest pulp-mill of the Remington Paper Company, about two miles below this city, was almost destroyed late last night by the high water, causing damages requiring about SO.OOO to renair, and killing John Murphy, an employe, aged sixty-eight Eleven pulp-grinders, the wheel and various other machinery were carried down the river. While the machinery, had been shut down for a few minutes to make some repairs the iloor suddenly began to rise and the whole building moved. Then, with acrash, a part of the bniiding and machinery fell into the river and the roof fell down on the remaining machinery. The workmen rushed for the doors and all escaped, except Murphy and Thomas Stevens, who were struck by the shafting and hurled to the floor. Stevens succeeded in extricating himself and made a perilous trip over the broken roof hanging over the water. Murphy was terribly crushed and probably died instcntly. Loss of Life Probably Exaggerated. San Francisco. March 1. General Manager A. M. Towne, of the Southern Pacifio railroad, to-night discredited the rumor that hundreds of lives had been lost at Yuma and vicinity by the Hood. He stated to an Associated Trees reporter that be had been in communication with Yuma up to half-past 7, San Francisco time, to-night, and had received no such reports, as he surely would have, had there been disaster. So far, no lives have been lost at Yuma except one Mexican, who was drowned last week. In the upper Gila valley, however, the ranches may have been flooded and some people drowned.

: , SHERMAN AND LEE. Ei-Presldent Hajea Compares Their Military Genius, in Reply to General Wolselej. Fuemont, O.. March 1. -Memorial services were held here to-day for General Sherman and Admiral Porter. The affair was under the direction of G. A. IZ. posts, and General Hayes was the principal speaker. In speaking of Sherman as the greatest commander General Hayes said: "The only comparison of value that I choose to offer comes from abroad. We hear in regard to Sherman from the French generals nothing but praise; from the German generals the same; and the English General Wolseley speaks of him in terms that are altogether complimentary. Says Wolsely. however, Lee was a great general, and next to him was Sherman.' I would chango the order. I admit for Lee a treat character, accomplishments as a soldier and as a man, and praise in every way, except his unfortunate lack of wisdom. I do not now speak of motives, but at least for the military genius who was the military genius of the war. Place Lee where Sherman was. Place Sherman where Lee was. Place Lee at Chattanooga, Even with Sherman's army, would he have found his way to Atlanta, and at Atlanta cut loose from his base of supplies and entered upon his wild march for the sea, three hundred miles awayf I believe no man lacking the genius of Sherman would have ventured on that march to the sea. Hut come near home. Lee had the same opportunity, only it was ten times better than that Sherman bad at Atlanta. Suppose Sherman had been in command of the army of Lee. Washington at that time lay completely in the power of an enterprising and daring commander, and, with Washington captured, intervention from abroad would have come. I don't predict final defeat, for throughout' all that action the linger of God was present, guiding and directing. I can't believe that under any circumstances the cause of liberty and union could have failed, bnt at Washington was the chance of victory, and Lee failed to take it. More than that, he went to the Potomac, crossed it. and our disorganized army, without a commander, being divided between Pope and McClellan was the few days behind him, and he marched on into Pennsylvania, and what did he do. and what would Sherman have done! Lee did not dare to lose communication with his base cf supplies and was driven back from Antietam with a divided army. Had Sherman been at the head of the army, and that distance between him and the pursuing forces, he would have gone to Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Buffalo,- Cleveland. Cincinnati, and then cut his way back into Virginia. A little band of four thousand men under Morgan went through Ohio and Indiana, and Lee, with his great army, with nothing before him but wealth and supplies and cities able to pay tribute for not being burned, is not to be compared with Sherman." The President Pleasure Trip. Washington, March L Tne President And Mrs. Harrison have not yet settled all the details of their Southern journey, or, in fact, whether they will go. but in a few days, if they decide to go, their plans will be in such shape that something definite about the trip maybe announced. This much, however, is known about the proponed trip: that the President, if he goes, will start from Wasbingeou early in Mav and that the itinerary of the journey wiil be planned so as to permit the President to make a number of speeches while en route most cf them in tne Southern States.

BLAMED BY TIIE EMPEROR

Von Caprivi and Minister to Be Made the Scapegoats of the Paris Incident. . ' Meanwhile the Empress Sajs She Saw No Reason for Leaving France so Soon -Parneli's Sptc!ies The Baring Downfall. -CAPKIVT AND MIXNSTER. Both May Bo I'aoithed by the Kaiser for In duclng they Empress to Stay In Paris. .pe:lal to the Indiana-.Krtis Journal. 'London, March 1. Berlin reports are .fall of the probable retirement of Chancellor Von Caprivi from the post of Prussian Premier as the scape-goat, with Count Monster, of the Kaiser's failure to conciliate France. Caprivi may retain his place as Chancellor, bnt his duties as Prussian Minister President will, it is stated, be transferred to Dr. Miguel, now Minister of Finance. The Kaiser has always expressed unbounded confidence in Miguel's management of the finances. At a recent dinner he said: "I am a gold man, and for the rest 1 rely on Miguel." It is probable that the new Premier may retain his office as Minister of Finance, for which there is a precedent in Prussian history. The Emperor's renewal of intimate relations with Count Waldersee is also looked upon as significant. Count Waldersee has represented an extreme and aggressive military policy. He has been charged even with desiring to bring about war with Russia and France. This charge is unsustained by any evidence known to the public. Hut there has been no doubt of Waldersee's desire for all Germany to stand readj armed for any event that might occur. He was retired to the command of an army corps at the very time when the Kaiser wasmeditating hisfriendly approach toward the French people. Now he is retailed, or about to be recalled, to the imperial circle at the time when all hopes of conciliation have been blasted. Waldersee has been in Paris before, and at an eventful period. As German charge d'affaires, in 1871, he displayed considerable diplomatic talent under very difficult situations. Should he be appointed to Paris in the place, of Muneter the present situation will challenge all his ability. Other important diplomatic changes mentioned as probable are the retirement of Gon von Schweimtz from the German embassy at St. Petersburg, and the appointment to that post of Baron Saurma-Jettsch, German minister at The Hague, the latter being relieved as already reported, by the Count de Kantozow, son-in-lawof Bismarck, who has been representing Prussia in Bavaria. The action of the German government in regard to passports in Alsace-Lorraine is ill received by some German Conservatives as well as by tho Freimnnige party. The Keichsbote hopes that the passports measure is due to other reasons than the conduct of French Chauvinists. The Kreuz Zeitung speculates upon the probability of war with France, aud after upbraiding Germans for being of too patient and sluggish a temperament, and expressing doubts of the friendship of Italy and Lnglaud, it says that Germany, having failed to secure the love of Europe, ought to endeavor to obtain respect. The Journal de St. Petersburg hopes that efforts will be made on both sidesto remove the shadow on the relations before France and Germany. Ex-Empress Frederick wrote a letter to Emperor William last Thursday night, in which she said she could not understand the necessity of shortening her stay or avoiding pnblicitym Paris- Everyone with whom she had been in contact, she said, had been very polite to her, and, inSfact, she felt grateful for the attention ' she had received. She begged her son to keep cool, saying she was convinced that everything would come out all right in the end. HAPPENINGS IX ITALY. American Residents of Home Entertained by . Minister Porter Work of Consuls. Rome, March 1. The great event of the season here was the reception given to the American residents of Rome last night by Mr. Porter, the United States minister. Invitations had been sent to all the Americans , in, Rome, including those who have been allied to Italian families by marriage. The guests were received by the American minister and Miss Porter. Seven hundred Americans were present at the reception. All the American consuls n: Italy have joined in a report to the government on the condition of trade between Italy and the United States, with the view of calling the attention of American merchants to the opening afforded here ftor an extension of their foreign commerce. The consuls both in the northern and southern portions of Italy are confident that the subject has been presented in such a manner that it cannot fail to command public attention. The people of Italy, the reports say, are favorably disposed toward American products. Queen Margaret yesterday visited the foundry to see the statue of the American Republic and groups representing the army and navy, designed for a soldiers' and sailors' monument to be ereoted at Portland, Me., which have just been completed byMr. Simmons, the American Bculptor. Her Majesty had a long conversation with Mr. Simmons, expressing herself as highly pleased with the sculptor's work and complimenting him upon his success. In the naval group is a representation of Admiral Farragut. which was at once recognized by the Queen. King Humbert will also visit the foundry to view the work of the American sculptor. THE BARINGS DOWNFALL. IIow the Members of the Firm Were Affected by the Great Financial Crash. London, March 1. It is now stated that Baron Ilirsch is negotiating for the purchase of the noble house just constructed by Lord Revelstoke. By throwing into, one his own former house and the residence adjoining, it is one of the most superb mansions in London. Lord lievelstoke, who is now constantly occupied in settling the accounts of the old house of Baring, will shortly move with his family into a small house which he had recently given to his daughter on her marriage. The income of the late head of the house of Baring has bean fixed for many years to come at 3,500. Mr. Bingham Mildmay, another of the partners, who had to bis credit last year with the firm nearly 2,000,000, now occupies the keeper's lodge at the gate of his own beautiful mansion at Flete, in Devonshire, which is looking for a lessee or purchaser. The wave of financial disturbance and distrust raised by the Baring disaster has by no means subsided. Dunug the past week the city has been agitated by rumors affecting the position of two very important houses. Apparent consistency was given to this feeling by the unexpected conversion of one of the oldest banking firms in London from a partnership into a limited company. As the firm in question have operated for years as bankers of the Barings, some special sinister significance was attached to it by the alarmists. At the meeting of the directors of the Bank of England Thursday, however, matters were cleared up. The family aspect of the Baring disaster is one of its most interesting features. The Barings now hold three peerages. Ash burton, Revelstoke and Northbrook. and are extensively intermarried with the English aristocracy. Many of the Baringtt enjoy fortunes loug since withdrawn from the houst. This is the esse with the Earl of Northbrook and Lord Asburtou; but one member, the son of the late Bishop of Durham, who married Miss Minturn, of New York, has signalized himself at this crisis by voluntarily putting back into the hone hi whole fortune, considerably over 1,000,000. He was out of England when the difficulty occurred. He cabled his intention of doing this, and was received on his arrival at Metropole by several of his kinsmen, wbo. before he entered, heard bim in the street sharply taking the cabman to task for an overcharge. The present is not the first shock through which the great house has passed. Alexander Baring, the first Lord Aahburton,

who negotiated with Daniel Webster, the famous American, a tfeaty, carried the house successfully througn a moro iormidable difficulty than the present, the one which came upon it shortly after the peace of 1815. Lord Revelstoke is the sou, by his second wife, of Henrv Baring, whose first wife was Miss Bingh'am, of Philadelphia. The boldness, now called rashuess. of his financial operations is traced by London people to the blood of his father, Henry, who was noted as the boldest gambler of the da5vwh?n gambling was the fashionable yiceof many English gentlemen. XABNELL IS TALKING,

Two Speeches in Ireland Yesterday Glad ston Again Called the "Grand Old Spider." Londo. March 1. -Mr. Parnell will issue this week an address to the Irish-Americans, setting forth the principles on which he is conducting the present contest and his grounds for demanding a specific declaration of the intentions of the English Liberals in the matter of home rule. The addrees is probably intended as a letter of introduction for Messrs. Redmond and Mahoney, who, it is understood, will soon proceed to the United States to ask for financial support for Mr. Parnell's campaign. Mr. Parnell is said to bo highly gratified with the repulse which has nearly everywhere met the McCarthyites in Ireland, and he said to-day that he proposed to scour the country with his deputies. Replying to a deputation at Drogheda, to-day, Mr. Parnell said he was rejoiced at the proof of support everywhere accorded bim. This, he said, showed his opponents that Irishmen would not allow them to degrade the public platform by permitting them to strike below the belt under the pretext of dealing with questions of public moment. If the difference between the two factions was not fought out upon dignified lines the blame would not fall on his supporters. They would strain every point to accord their opponents a fair hearing, but if bis opponents outraged the sense of the people by going outside the limits of decency the people would justly resent their conduot. On arriving at Navan Mr. Parnell addressed a meeting in the square. He said that perhaps some day in the distant future somebody would arise privileged to address them, not as men of Royal Meath, but as mem of Republican Meath cheers. It was Meath which first gave him an opportunity sixteen years ago, to servo Ireland in public life cheers. At what moment during that period had he ever been unfaithful to the principles then pledged, cries of "Never."! They had won a hundred skirmishes Pt.o vein thrt imttlt with flmrn. Alrmiilv they had put a snaffle in the mouth of the landlords. By and by, with a parliament in College Green, they would tight these same mouths with bit and birdoon. Cheers and laughter. Mr. Parnell then reviewed the struggle in Parliament, and referred to tho secret system pursued in the House of Conimons to sap and undermine the independence of his colleagues. Although they were only J0 against GOO, his supporters had the honesty aud courage to beat their opponents. They had driven the secedersfroin the committeeroom and they would drive them out of Ireland before long and out of the House of Commons, too. Cheers. His supporters had foiled the weakness, treachery aud cowardice of the seceders by resisting English intimidation. Thus they have given time to everything 6olid, patriotic and brave among their race, at home and abroad to see the truth and to rally to their sudEort. He had never feared the result If e had not a colleague in the committeeroom he would still have to come back to the Irish people to get their verdict. IProlonged cheers. In conclusion he expressed the hope that his opponents would take warning of the portents. A popnlar storm was likely to sweep them away. Instead of opposing the rally to his side let them free themselves from the entanglements and English party alliances woven around them by the "grand old spider." The gate of repentance was still open. If they waited too late the gate would be shut and they would become marked on the pagesof history as deliberate traitors to Ireland. Mr. Parnell was entertained at a banquet in the evening. He will speak in London next Wednesday. ; GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. : Twenty Thousand Sympathizer with the Cardiff 'strikers Parade at London. ' Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, March ,1. The demonstration in London, to-day, in behalf of the Card ill strikers and of strikers generally throughout the country was a big a flair, judging by numbers. Twenty thousand people, mainly trades-unionists, marched to London Park, with bands and banners. The procession maintained excellent order, and the workingmen, in their 8nnday clothes, presented a very respectable appearance. Tho speakers pointed out that the fate of trades-unionism wes largely involved in the present struggle with the shipping federation, which was a combination of employers to wholly ignore the unions, and if such a combination could be successful in crushing one branch of the trade, the same plan might be successful in other and all kinds of united labor. The meeting, with a mighty shout, pledged the support of the trades-unions of London to the strikers. An immense eight-hour meeting was also held to-day in Dublin. The crowd in attendance included workingmen from all the industries in-that city. A resolution was adopted favoring tho eight-hour day. Prince Victor Disinherited. Rome, March 1. It is stated that Prince Napoleon has made a will disinheriting his son. Prince Victor, and indicating Prince Louis as the next Emperor. Prince Napoleon is reported slightly better. He took' some food to-day. Sadler Will Go Free. London, March 2. The Treasury Department will drop the prosecution of Sadler, who was arrested on suspicion of toeing the man who murdered "Carotty Noli" in the Whitechape) district two weeks ago. SHOULD STAND Bi PALMER. Illinois Democratic Congressmen Do Not Favor Retiring the General from the Contest. Springfield, 111,, March 1. The coming week is expected to be a memorable one in the senatorial contest. As the United States Congress adjourns on Wednesday the Illinois congressional delegations of both parties are expected here to participate in the senatorial tight. Of the Republican Congressmen three or four are expected to become possible senatorial candidates themselves m the event of Streeter being abandoned by the Republicans. The Democratic Congressmen will probably exert a great influence npon their party on all important questions and as to the advisability of General Palmer's withdrawal. The Associated Press has secured expressions from the Democratic Congressmen of Illinois in regard to the advisability of the Democratic legislators abandoning Palmer under anv circumstances. Win. Springer, is of the opinion that Palmer Is entitled to the unwavering fealtv of the Democratic legislators. The "Democratic State convention" said he, "put General Palmer in nomination and no Democratic caucus has a rignt to withdraw him. This is a mater which rests with General Palmer himself, but as long as be remains a candidate, the Democrats of the Senate should rest assured there is a hope of success and give him their loyal support. The talk of General Palmer's withdrawal seems to have originated with the Republican managers and the Republican press, and certainly we are too loyal to our principles and our candidates to'be routed by the enemy.' ICongressman Scott Wike entertains very nearly the same opinion, and said he would not be jn favor of General Palmer's withdrawal. Congressmen Laue. Williams and Fonnan, not being on the ground, did not care to express anv opinion. Congressman Lawler hiuks the Democrats ought to stand by Palmer until the enemy grows weary of their'cause and capitulates. Ex-Civil Service Commissioner Oberly, whoihas long been recognized as the mentor of Illinois Democracy, said: 'The Democrats of the Illinois General Assembly should not leave Palmer or return from following after him. The Democratic party will gain more by the uefeat In Palmer's snpport than by victori obtained by deserting him and surrendering to three F. M. B. A. men who now hold the balance of the power in joint convention."

W. Beunett for the murder of William 11. Scott, on the 3d of November last, has been fixed for the 25th 'of March. Bennett swore Jndge Langflonoil the bench, and the jndse called Judge Everett, of tho Superior Court, this county, to preside. When the indictment was read to Bennett he entered a plea of not! guilty. His plea was as follows: (1) That he is not guilty as herein charged; (2) for lurther plea to said indictment he says thai he is not guilty, as charged in said indictment because of the fact that at the time of the commission of the alleged crime therein charged he, the said defendant, was a person of unsound mind. It will be remembered that Bennett went to Chicago during the' strike on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road and took an engine. After that he claims that he was pursued by members of the brotherhood, and every time he secured employment, no matter what at, he was hounded and his employers so threatened that he was discharged. This, he alleges, so preyed upon bis mind as to drive him iniane, and during one of his spells he shot John Werkhoff, who was a locomotive fireman, wounding him so badly that he died six days after. A moment later he was accosted by Wm. Scott, who had always been his friend, and, with the remark "Take that!'' Bennett shot him; causing instant death. The case comes up for shooting Scott first. No steps other than to indict Bennett for the killing of Werkhoff have been taken. Greencactle Republican Organization. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Greekcastle, '"'March 1.

THE JIARBIAGE COX TRACT Cardinal Gibbons Discusses the Subject and Uses Some Strong Words. Women Warned Not to Unsei. Themsekes bj Joining Reform Moyements The Evil Caused bj Ncmerous "Divorce Hills." Baltimore, March 1. "Marriage and Divorce7' was the subject to-day of the lenten sermon by Cardinal Gibbons. Among the auditors was Jerome J. Bona" parte, the grandson of the king of West phalia, who was used in the course of the sermon to illustrate the argument of the CardinaL "Marriage," said the Cardinal, "is the most inviolable.' and irrevocable of all contracts that were ever formed. Every human contract may be lawfully dissolved but this; nations may be justified in abrogating treaties with each other; merchants may dissolve partnerships; brothers will eventually leave the paternal roof and separate from one another, like Jacob and Esau; friends, like Abraham and Lot, may be obliged to part company. But by the law of God the bond uniting husband and wife cannot be dissolved only by death. No earthly sword can sever the nuptial knot which the Lord has tied. "Our Savior emphatically declares that the nuptial bond is ratified by God himself, and, hence, that no man or any legislation framed by man can validly dissolve the contract." Here the Cardinal illustrated the subject at some length by narrating how Pope Clement VII refused to sanction the divorce of Henry Vlll-from his lawful wife, Catharine of ATauon. and how Pius VII, when solicited by Napoleon, refused to annul the marriage between the Emperor's brother Jercme and Miss Patterson, who were married in Baltimore by Archbishop Carroll in 1803. He continued: "Christian wives and mothers, what an immense debt of gratitude you owe to Christ and His church for your emancipation and the dignity which yon enjoy in the Christian commonwealth. If you are no longer the slave of man's passions, like the women of Asm, but his peer and his equal; if you are ' no longer a tenant at will, like the wives of pagan Greece and Rome, but the mistress of your housenold; if you are no longer confronted by usurping rivals, like Mohammedan and Mormon wives, but if you are the aueen of the domestic kingdom, you are mebted for this position to the church, and especially to the sovereign pontiffs, who have vindicated your honor when assailed by lustful men. "I said you are the queen of the domestic kingdom. If you would retain that empire shun the political arena, avoid the rostrum, beware of unsexmg yourselves. If you become embroiled in politioal agitation the queenly aureola that encircles your brow will fade away, and the reverence that is paid to you will disappear. If you have the vain ambition of reigning in public life your domestic empire will be at an end. TOO MANY DIVORCES. "The subject of divorce is invested with a painful interest in our time and country. There are more divorces legally granted in this country than in any other Christian country more, perhaps, than in all other Christian countries combined. In the space of twenty years, according to official statistics, lrum lh67 to 1866, inclusive, 800,000 divorces were granted in the United States that is to say two-thirds of a million persons were legally sep arated durng the time. The num ber of lvorces has steadily increased sind that time, and beyond all proportion to the general increase of population. The divorces are granted on most llimay pretexts, and throughout the country divorce courts are established, which are very appropriately called 'divorce mills,7 since they grind out divorces with such rapidity and crush out happiness from the domestic roof. "Let the imagination picture to itself the number of homes made desolate by this destroying angel; the number of husbands ana wives whose hearts are crushed and whose spirits are broken, the number of children that are cast npon the world bereft of a father's protecting arm and of a mother's love, who dare not cling to either parent without arousing the jealousy and hatred of tho other. But is it not cruel and heartless to compel a husband and wife to live together who cannot so live in peace, and who are entirely estranged from each other! 1 answer that the laws of the gospel do not oblige such persons to dwell together . if there is no hope of a reconciliation between them. They are allov.ed to live apart and to obtain a divorce from bed and board. But if you will insist, is it not cruel and unnatural to condemn such persons to a life of forced celibacy after they are separated? Would it not be more merciful to permit them to enter into sacred nuptials and enjoy the society of a congenial partner in marriage? You speak of mercy to the separated couple; but is no mercy to be shown to the peace and good order of society? Is no mercy to be shown to the gospel of Christ , which upholds our society? All laws are made for thecommon good, and every law has its pernonal inconveniences. If you abrogate a law because of its incidental annoyance you undermine all legislation. It is on that principle that the atheist objects to the observance of Sunday, when he would prefer to work, and the saloon-keeper objects to the closing of his store, when he would rather selL "'It is better that one man should suffer than that the whole nation should perish.' Better, far better, that in a few individual cases divorced people should be ' forbidden to marry than that the foundations of the sacred edifice of society should be undermined." ' . CUBA WILL PATICIPATE. Will 3Iake a Good Display at tho World's Fair , Keciprocitj Movement in San Domingo, WAsniNGTON, March 1. Mr. Cert is, of the State Department, who has charge of the Latin-American department of the Chicago exposition, has just returned from a visit to the West Indies in the interest of the exposition. In his report, which was forwarded to tho committee on foreign exhibits yesterday, Mr. Curtis announced the appointment by the Captain-general of Cuba, of a board of thirty commissioners to represent the island "at the exposition and to secure a collection illustrating its resources, products and industries for exhibition there. This board, he says, includes the most prominent, enterprising and luliuentialmen in thecolouy. "Thedtsireof the people of Cuba,'' the report says, especially the sugar and tobacco planters and manufacturers to promote their commercial relational with the United States amounts to anxiety, and I may also mention in this connection a matter of news 1 learned at Havana, that the commercial organizations of the republic of San Domingo have raised a purse to pay the salary and expenses of an envoy to be sent by the government to Washington for the purpose of negotiating a reciprocity treaty with tho United States. A similar spirit prevails in the entire group of West Indian colonies and will, I am sure, stimulate their representation :it the exposition." While in Huvana, Mr. -Curtis secured for the historical section of the exposition plaster casts of the tomb of Columbus aud the famous statue of Columbus In chains.

Editors of Indiana Tapers Continue to Comraent Patently on Some cf Its Iniquities. Mnnoie Times: The people of Indiana who sent up a Democratic Legislature "to reform abuses" are in. the condition of the fellow who "went j shearing and got shorn." Some day they will know better. Madison Conner: The gerrymandering business has about reached a climax, and the people will be ready, before a great while, to put a final stop to such a travesty on representative government as it result in. Evansville Standard: The Democracy has got both of its front feet in tlie trough at last. In' the consequent splashing wo can still see some fragments of that rainbow of reform which spanned the iStato early in last November. Logansport Journal: The Tenth congressional district, as remodeled, is Democratic, but debatable, and we propone to debate it. In whose interests it was Irani ml will ba developed, for it is manifestly not in thein teresta of tho Japs from Jasper. Goshen Times: The reform Democrats have created anew ollice in this State, that of county assessor, who is to examino the auditor's tax duplicate and also the re turns of township assessors. ThooQlceris an altogether needless expense. Muncie Times: Why should not the Democratic Legislature pass a bill saying that there should be thirty-five Kepublicaus m the House and fifteen in the Senate without the circumlocution of a measure tixing; that number Iii detail and calling it au "apportionment bill!" Anderson Herald: Democratic extravagance has come home to roost and tho Legislature is at lant forced by necessity to raise the State tax levy 8 cents on the hundred dollars, making a direct Uvy of 20 cents. Its thin disguisa as a "benevolent institution" tax does not help matters any. It would not be Democratic if it did no& contain some subterfuge. 'Marine ews. New York, March 1.
