Glittering Array of Words on the Subject of , Electing: Senators by Direct Vote. Washington. Dec 17. Mr. Turpie addressed the Senate to-day in euprort of the joint resolution introduced by blm on Deo. ' 10, proposing an amendment to the Constitution providing for the election of United States Senators by a direct vote of the people of tno eoveral States. He said that in tho conrse of one hundred years the country bad thrice waged war; once for the enfranchisement of commerce npon the high seas; asain for the security and amendment of tbenationalfrontiernponthe south and west, and lastly for the supremo issues of federal unity and the national life. In the storm and stress attending these trials of tho American form of govern.m?nt parties inight have been wrecked, fidminitrationi might have failed and faltered: but the people had stood firm and fast not the rich, not the privileged, not the few favored by birth or fortune their love and services wonld not have sufficed but the many. It was those who had no Tank; and who belonged to no class who had fought tbe battles of the coontry, enlarged its borders and rescued liberty from its enemies. The passage of the proposed ' Amendment would be, he said, in accord with the law of national growth. It would bestow upon tbe people a gift entirely worthy of their acceptance and of the Senate's proffer. In conclusion, ho said: "We are preparing for tho exhibition of a splendid international pageant commemorative of the discovery and settlement of this continent. In the imperial commercial. motrorolis of , the great lakes that urban miracle of tho . centurywe are to show from onr o wn conntry.we are to behold from others whatever is most excellent in nature, art or industry. Many a medal will be cast, many a souvenir will be designed in honorof an event so t notable. It would be most felicitous should we signalize it by the submission and adoption of this amendment thns publishing to this grand commercial council of the world's commerce and exchange teat tbo great Republic of the West had given to Its peopledirect control of the legislative department of the government, uch an net wonld be a monument of the ojje worthy of its genius and fortunes, more enduring than the lCillel tower, more imperishable than tho Column of Trajan or tho Arch of Titus, which havo for centnries marked and adorned the site of tbe Eternal City. Here the right, truly divine, of sell-govern-; me n't. the sovereign rnle and dominion of the people would be proclaimed, vindicated, justified and glorilied in the eyes of all the earth's inhabitants, to the latest posterity." At the close of Mr. Torpie's speech the joint resolution was referred to the com- . xnittee on privileges and elections. siEWAiirs ii ob nr. The Senator Argues for Free Coinage and Criticises the President's Message. Washington-, Dec. 17. Mr. Stewart addressed the Senate to-day on that part of the President's message relating to free coinage. He said that the President was laboring nnder a misapprehension when he stated that advocates of free coinage believed that the act of 1SC0 would raise silver to par and keep it there. Thatact.be observed, was opposed by the Democrats, who had voted solidly against it Tbe anti-silver Republicans, with the votes of the free-coinago Republicans, had passed tho act as a compromise measure. The act provided for the redemption of treasury notes in gold and silver coin, and it was the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to coin enough sliver to provide for auoh redemption. There was no warrant of law, ho said, for the sale of bocds to buy gold for the purpose of redeeming treasury notes issued under tbe act of ImO. The redemption uci of 1S75 had authorized the sale of bonds for the redemption of greenbacks outstanding on the 1st of January, lb'.D, and for no other purpose, and there was no reason to suppose that sutlicient gold would come into the treasury for the redemption of the notes issued under tho act of IbiO. Consequently they had to lie redeemed in silver. He contended that the act of ltlX) amounted to a pledge that tbe puvernuient ould xnaintaiu free coinage. 1 was expressly declared in that act that It was the established policy of the United States to maintain the two metals on a parity with each other npon tho present legal ratio. Mr. Stewart argnod at length in favor of the free coinage of silver. MAY SOT BE CONTESTED. No Organized Movement to Oust Hill and llrloe from Their Seat in the Senate. Washington, Dec 17. Tho published atatements that the Republican Senators have virtually decided to contest the seats of Senators Hill. Briceand White attracted some attention among the Senators to-day. Careful inquiry fails to disclose anything P.ke an organized movement in that direction, and iu fact it appears that the RepnbiicanSenators have as yet given tbe 8ubj ct little thought. So far as Senator Hill's seat is concerned. it is believed that when he presents himself to tske the oath of oftlce an objection may be forthcoming from his colleague. Senator Hiscock. based on the charge that Senator Hi I bos lost title to his 8s.U by abandonmer t. The question so raised wonld be purely legal, and some of the Republican Senators who would be required to pass npon it as members of the committee on privileges and elections say it wonld be disposed of, if presented, without regard to political consideration. A Republican Senator to-day said the contention in regaid to Governor Hill's case will be substantially as follows: That his continuing to hold, after tbe 4th of March. U'Jl, when he was entitled to he Senator, an oflien admittedly Incompatible witt the seuatorship, operated as a rencncialion of the latter; and that If it has not already done so an important question is presented as to how long a person thus situated could bold tbe governorship and keep the senatorship position vacant Tko foundation for tho story touching

Mr. Price's sent seems, so far as the Senate is concerned, to be confined .to tbo few remarks made by Senator Sherman when the credentials were presented. As to Senator White, of Louisiana, it cannot be learned that therein any intention on the part of the Republican leaders to make a contest based upon charges of illegal voting. 1XINOK MATTERS.

The Late Governor Kovey Credited with First kuCK'sOnsr Relief for Starring Russians, ejfdal to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington. Dec. 17. The lato Governor Ilovey, of Indiana, was the first prominent American oQicial who suggested relief for the famine-strickeu districts in Rnssin. Prior to his departure for Mexico the Governor was anxions to inaugurate the movement as a national one, on the ground that we owe Russia a debt of gratitude for tho assistance she gave us during tho late war. The Governor went bo far ai to call twice at the Russian legation here to learn whether snch relief would be -accepted, but each time he was told that Mr. Alexander Gregg, the charge d'ail aires, was in Now York. The Governor corresponded on tbe subject with a Russian gentleman residing here, and the honor of bia first being tho originator of the worthy movement would have belonged to him had he not been so suddenly stricken down. Congress Invited to Chicago. Washington, Dec. 17. Mr. John T.Dickinson, secretary of the World's Columbian Exposition, and Mr. Kdward F.

A meeting of the exposition representatives and the Illinois delegation in Congress will be held to-morrow.

Executive Session of the Senate. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington. Dec. 17. The executive session of the Senate was spent in confirming recess appointments of the President A large number of these were continued, but owing to tbe failure of the Senate to pass tbe customary resolution notifying tbe President of the fact their names wero not made public. The nomination of Stephen 13. Elkins to bo Secretary of War was read and referred, in the usual manner, to the committee on military aftairs for action. The nominations of tho six circnit judges sent to tbe Senate yesterday were not brought forward by tho judiciary committee for action. General Notes. Srecial to the Indianapolis JonrnaL Washington.

ALL CONSULS WITHDRAWN. The II reach ttetween France and Bulgaria IVideiilag Warlike Acts. London, Dec. 17. M. liibot, the French Minister of Foreign A Hairs, in breaking off diplomatic relations between France and Bulgaria, instructed all tbe French consuls in Bulgaria to closo the consulates and to withdraw. In obedicrce to these instructions the consuls at Koustchouk, Bourgaa and Philipopolis have left the country. It is not believed that Franco will resort to arms toenforco her demand that tbe decree of expulsion against the alleged untruthful correspondents be withdrawn, yet, nevertheless, the Bulgarian Minister of Finance is going to Vienna to negotiate a loan for the purpose of strengthening the army. Already troops have been hurried to Koustchouk and Philipopolis, and the garrisons at those places are now twice their usual size. TheRussian newspapers have taken up the incident as a topio for comment. They severely censure the action of Bnlgaria in driving tbe French newspaper man from tho country, and characterize the court of the Bulgarian government as insolent The Kepnblifjue Francaise in its issue of to-day declares that the Sultan of Turkey has asked France to leave it to him, as Suzerains of Bulgaria, to settle tho question growing out of the expulsion of M. Chaoudino from that country. France Will Js'ot Kesort to Arms. Paris, Dec 17, There is a suspicious calm in nigh diplomatic circles and very little is to be gathered as to the nature of the almost constant interchange of telegraphic dispatches which has been going on for the past fortyeight hours. It should be explained, however, in 6pite of the serious aspect which tho incident has assumed, that France will not resort to arms in order to enforce her demands for satisfaction for the expulsion of tho journalist But thero ore war-clouds on tho horizon for all that. For instance, tbe Bulgarian Minister of Finance has started for Vienna with the avowed intention of raisins moneywith which to strengthen the army of Bulgaria. The Bulgarian government, as if apprehending trouble, is already hurrying reinforcement of troops to Koustchouk and Philipopolis. but it is ditlicult to hud any real cause tor this warlike activity, for it would hardly bo possible for France to attack Bulgaria without forcing the passage of tho Dardanelles and bombarding Varna Ironi tho Black sea. Such a step as this, it need hardly be added, is not on tho tapis at present so far as the general public knows. Of course France might have the co-operation of Kussia in this matter, but such an eventuality is not even discussed by the alarmist papers np to aato. The Russian papers, it is true, have taken np the discussion of tho t'haouduiue incident in a manner that bhows their sympathy is with France. In substance, they say that Bulgaria has acted in a most insolent ruauner towards France, and they severoly censure her for so doing, whilo hinting that she must not try the forbearauce of France beyond a certain point or she will have to take the consequences of her insoBAKOX FAVA'S SUCCESSOR. Italy Arranging to Send a Minister to Washington New Place for Fava. Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Komt, Dec. 17. Italy is arranging to send a minister to Washington in place of Baron Fava, who was recalled from America in consequence of tho New Orleans lynching. Tho name of tho proposed minister has not yet been announced. Tho government has concluded to take this course without waiting for an assurance from tho American President that the Constitution will be changed eo ns to afford more protection to foreigners, ' Kudini having learned semi otTicially that it was beyond the power of the President to give such an assurance. Baron Fava remains in full favor with the Italian government, and there is no lunger u pretense that his course in regard to the New Crieans incident was in any respect uninBtructed. Baron Fava will possibly succeed Count Menabrea. tho Italian ambassador in Paris. Count Menabrea has represented Italy in I'nris since 1882. lie has had a distinguished career and is about to retire on account of old age, having been bom iu ltC.. Italy has hesitated to relieve Count Menabrea on account of tho reverence and respect with which he is regarded in Franco, both on account of his scientitio acquirements and his distinguished military services. But old age is pressing Menabrea and he wishes to rest. Should Fava succeed him it would be a promotion in the diplomatic scale. One motive favoring the appointment of Fava Is said to be that his absence from Europe siuco would make him more acceptable to the French tban a diplomate who had been mingled in the intriguosof European courts within receut years. OLD QUESTION REVIVED. Will Parliament Vote Money to Support the Prince Albert Victor and His Wife? London, Dec. 17. Tbo corporation of the city of London has voted 11,500 guineas for the purpose of providing a wedding present for Princo Albert Victor of Wales and Princess Victoria Mary of Teck. It has been said that tho Prince of Wales feels a hesitancy about asking Par liament to make a grant for the proper support of his eldest son After his marring to Princess Victoria Mary, and that Parliament might, in view of the sreat popularity of the engagement take the initiative in the matter, and have a bill for that pnrro5u originate in tho House. It has even been suggested in somo quarters that tbe Lord Mayor of London thnuld open a subscription for a fund for the support of tho royal couple, hut it is not believed . thnt tho Queen or the Prince of Wales wonld give tneir consent to any such means to raise money. Some of the Kadicals who have, or, at least, pretend to have, but lit tle respect for tbe prerogatives of ro3alty, aro not backward in saving that the coun try is already heavily enough taxed to sup port the Ouoen and her numerous relatives. and that her Majesty could very readily grant Prince Albert Victor and Princess Victoria Maty a marriage portion from her private purse sulhcitnt to support them in the state to which they will be called. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Farther Military Operations on the Pamir Frontier Stopped ty Bad Wrather. Calcutta, Dec. 17. The question of fur ther operations on tho part of the British troops against the Ilunsea Nier tribesmen in the vicinity of Gilgit and Fort Nilt, near tho Pamir frontier, has been settled for the time being by the weather. Snow has fallen at those places and in the surrounding country to snch an extent that military operations are impossible. It was feared that communication with the troops was cut off on account of tbe snow, but advices dated the 11th inst. wero received from there to-day showing that tbe fear was groundless. The otticers and men who wero wounded in the recent storming and capture of Fort Nilt. and tho subsequent pursuit of tho tribesmen in tho mountains, are still making good progress toward recovery. Tho troops are well supplied with food, ummunitio!!, etc.. in quantities sutlicient to last them until the enow disappears. Itellrf Work for Rtsrvlnjc IVnanta. St. Pr.TKhsnuKG, Dee. 17.

To carry out the proposals of Gen. AnnekoiTit would require an initial outlay of SO.000,000 roubles. After considerable discussion of the proposals tbe conference declined to sanction them, only giving its assent to a proposition that the peasants should be employed in the ruakiug of roads to connect the more remote districts of tbe empire. The treasury has refused to grant any lurtber sum than 10,000,000 roubles for relief work. Victims oflutluenz, Vienna, Dec 17.

A large number of people in the work-bouse thero are prostrated with the disease, and tbe local physicians are overrun with calls for their assistance During tho past week there have been eight deaths from the disease in the work-bouse. A dispatch from Stockholn says that the King of Sweden is slightly ill with intlnenza, and the Queen is severely alllicted with tbe sam disease.

Biarritz, where Mr. Gladstone will seek to recuperate his strength for his coming parliamentary duties, is in tho department of BassesPyrenes. on the bay of Biscay, about live miles southwest of Bayonne. Napoleon HI and the EmpressEugenie were attracted by the pleasaut situation of the town and salubrity of its climate. They made their summer residence there and this, of course, made Biarritz a fashionable watering placo. It has lost none of the popularity then gained, and is annually visited by a large number of people. One of tbe features of Biarritz, aside from its baths, are a number of grottoes of singularly fantastic shape. Europeans In China Arming. London. Deo. 18.

United Ireland to-day prints an article signed, "A Physical Force Man," which is a violent attack upon Mr. Michael Davitt, who is the McCarthyito candidate for the vacant seat for Waterford city in the House of Commons. The article says that of all the Irish crowd he was the lirst to throw a stone and draw a dagirer on Mr. Parnell. Guarded by English allies and goaded by English opinion, he is the first to stab tho great Irish leader. The article concludes by asking: "Has he decided to-enter Parliament because be thinks Mr. Farnell's mantle would fall on his shoulders?" GAVE HIS LIFE FOR ANOTHER. Railroad Brakeman Saves a Woman but Loses Loth of His Own Legs. PniLADF.LrniA, Dec. 17. A Reading railroad brakeman performed an actof heroism this afternoon that will probably cost him his life. The hero is William C. Crush, twenty-six years old. who. while in the forward car of a train that was being pushed toward the depot, observed the peril of a woman picking coal on the adjoining track. A train was approaching, and Grush called to her, but she apparently did not hear him. As bis train reached a point directly opposito her. Grush sprang from the our, aud, seizing the woman, around tho waist threw her out of harm's way. Tho exertion caused him to lose his footing, however, and he fell across the track. Tbe train from which he had saved the coal-picker, cut off both of his legs, and at the hospital the physicians to-night say he cannot live. LMet by Fire. Louisvillt:, Ky., Deo. 17.

JOE CilOYiNSKI HIT HARDEST

Billy Woods, of Denver, Knocked Ont in the Tuirtj-Foortli Round. Tbouxh Lighter than His Antagonist, the San Francisco Man Pounded Woods at Will and Easily Won the $4,000 Parse. Special to the Indianapolis JonrnaL San Francisco, Dec 17,--Joe Choynski, of San Francisco, and Billy Woods, of Den ver.met this evening at the Pacific Club in a fight to a tinish for a purse of 1,000. Mike Sullivan acted as referee. The betting was strongly in favor of Choynski at odds of about three to one Woods was heavier than tbe Californian, but the ccntidence in the latter'a skill and his being tbe local favorite never let the pools get less than 10 to 4. Choy nski's seconds were Sam Fitzpatrick, .Ned Greaney and Jim Farley, and Woods's were Martin Murphy, Jerry Mahouey and Patsy Hogan. The building was jammed when tbe contestants entered the ring at 0:15.

ANT1S 30MLVATK A TiCKLT. Minority Democrat in Louisiana Choose Murphy J. Foster for Governor. Baton Rouge. La.. Dec. 17. Tho Adams combine convention was called to order at 11:00 a. 51. The committee on credentials made a unanimous report. Mr. Hunter said the committee had carefully considered all the parishes in which there had been contests and had rendered a fair and impartial decision. The committee felt confident that there had been frauds and intimidation in Orleans, but the gentlemen from there frankly said that they could not furnish proofs, and therefore the contestants from Orleans were not seated except in the wards noted. T. S. Wilkinson was made chairman. He was escorted to tho chair and made a speech of acceptance, asserting that he was glad to have been selected as chairman !of the Democratio convention. He said aliens and gamblers had seized on the machinery of the party and expected this convention to recognize them as tho Democratio parti'. Ho was ready to go before the people on the iesue rained and leave the peoplo to decide which was the regular convention of the party. He had no fear of what the decision of the people would be. Mr. Wilkinson attacked the lottery and charged that McEnery and the lottery were one. After a committee on resolutions had been appointed tho convention nominated Ihomas fc. Adams lor Uovernor, but ne uecliued, according to a prearranged plan. After several hours conference, tbe following State ticket waft nominated: For Governor, Murphy J. Foster; Lieutenant-governor, Charles Parian ge; Secretary of State, Thomas S. Adam; Treasurer, John Pickett; Attorney-general, Milton J. Conningham; Superintendent of Education, A. D. LaFnrague; Auditor, W. W. Heard. The McEnery convention will meet tomorrow at noon. Congressman Boatner telegraphs the chairman of the Democratio State central committee from Washington to-day as follows: Telegrams show you have offered enough for harmony. Further proposals would lndioate weakness. I suggest fctroug resolutions declaring that the lottery question Is used as a blind to conceal the designs of the opposition leaders to establish an oligarchy and perpetuate their power. Denounce threats of violence and fraudulent use of the Governor's power over returning oKicere; declare the question at ispue the preservation of personal liberty in Louisiana; put the responsibility for tho failure to settle by white primaries on the opposition, and leave the result to the manhood of Louisiana, who ean never be frightened or cheated out of their rights.
