THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, J 892.

Congress, is nniust and impolitic, and in manifest eontlict with tho spirit of republican institutions, Tbe resolution farther resolrea that in tip.w of tb present condition of the treasury, and because efficient and honest government can only bo assured by the frugal expenditureof the public money, while unnecessary and lavish expenditure under any and all conditions lead inevitably to venal and corrupt methods in public atlairs, no money ought to be appropriated by Congress from thepublio treasury except such as is manifestly necessary to carry on the several departments frugally, elliciently and honestly administered. Considerable confusion snoceeded the reading of the resolution, but without givinz time for debate Mr. Holruan demanded tbn previous question on its adoption. Mr. Meyers irorn tho sugar fctate of Louisiana moved the reference of the resolution to the committee on wajs and means, but on a division this motion was lost by n, vote of HI to 115. 31 r. Henderson of Iowa and various other gentlemen of the Republican side asked that opDortunity for debate be afforded and Mr. McKennaof California insisted that the resolution. if adopted and adhered to by the House, would result in the defeat of all appropriation bills of any kind whatever, except such es referred to departmental affairs. 'Will dehate bo in order after tbe previous question is ordered on the resolution!" inquired Mr. Henderson of Iowa. fhe Speaker is of the opinion that dehate would not be in order," replied the Speaker protem., Mr. McMillin. And this House will cease to be a deliberative body' added Mr. Keed of Maine. REED TUKSS T1IS TABLES. The repetition of the charge which had so frequently been hurled at himself caused the House Democrats and Republicans to break into a roar of laughter. The yeas and nays on the previous question were demanded and resulted: Yeas, 154; nays, SO a political division the Alliance members voting against the previous question in order that there might be debate. When the vote was announced Mr. Hoiman asked unanimous consent that an hours debate on each side be allowed. Mr. Keed wanted two hours on a side and to this Mr, llolman consented. Mr. Simpson; of Kansas asked if this Arrangement included two hours for tbe People's party aa well aa the Republican and .Democratic parties. Laughter. The Speaker said that he assumed that the division of time would be between those in favor of tho resolution and those against it four hours in all. and not six. as the inquiry of the gentleman from Kansas might imply. T think." said Mr. Breckinridge of Kentucky, "that gentleman will concede that we are not particularly rushed just now, but on the contrary hare plenty of time at our disposal. Now, in order that we may dispose of this matter amicably, 1 suggest that the resolution be allowed to go over nntil to-morrow, when we can spend a pleasant day discussing it." Great laughter. ) Mr. Breckinridge's suggestion at once received the favor of the House, and the resolution went over nntil to-morrow by nnanimons consent. Mr. Stone of Kentucky offered a resolution, which was agreed to, calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for a tabular statement of all goods imported into Porto Kico and tho Dominican Republic, since the reciprocity treaty went into eifect.

An American, named Martinsen, reached here from Ascension, Mexico, to-day, and reports the revolutionists strongly fortitied in a large stone grist-mill in the outskirts of the town. They number two hundred well-armed men and are abundantly supplied with food. Tho residents are in sympathy with tbein, and thoso who have not joined them are aiding them in preparing to meet the troops. Partial civil authority has been restored by tho officials, aided by a small number of volunteers from Diaz and Casa Grande. They have succeeded in stationing armed guards around the custom-house and government stamp-building. This was done to protect tbe government property. No attempt has been made to dislodge the revolutionists from their position, nor will there be until tho troops come. Garza, the insurgent leader, is reported as issuing orders, to refrain from all violence until a decisive battle is fought. The town is practically deserted. No business is being transacted, and all the buildings, including private residences, have been barricaded. The Maine of revolution has been smoldering for some time, and was doubtless increased by the news of the Garza revoltYet it is scarely probable that the outbreak would have occurred had it not been for tne election of Ancheta to the presidency of tbe town in defiance of publio opinion. The revolutionists are in active sympathy with Garza, but bis operations are too remote from Ascension to be of any assistance to them. That they had been preparing for the insurrection was demonstrated by the faot that tbe mill in which they have taken refuge was stocked with arms, ammunition and food, in preparation for a long siese, when the blow was struck. How the civil authoritic l remained in ignorance of all airs it is impossible to conceive. Even the subordinate officials are in sympathy with the movement and tho higher officials can trust no one. Colonel Bogne. of tbe city of Chihuahua, who was in Ascension at the time of the uprising, has taken charge of the volunteers. Nebraska Colonel In Ieagae with Garza. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 13. An officer of the Mexican government has been in the city for a week past and a rumor started has been partially confirmed, that his presence here is to watch the movements of Robert McKeynolds, a colonel on Governor Thayer's stall. McKeynolds, it is claimed, is in sympathy with the Mexican uprising, in secret league with Garza, the revolutionary leader, and is planning to furnish tho revolutionists with arms, ammunition and money. A paper here made a half serious reference to the current suspicions and Col. McKeynolds scouted the story as a joke. The fact remains, however, that McKeynolds has but recently returned from old Mexico, and that while there he conferred with Garza and his sympathizers. To one or two intimate friends he let fall information showing that he was posted on the affairs of the revolutionists. Mr. McKeynolds was brought prominently before the pnblio not many weeks since in connection with a scheme to establish a republic in south Africa. It is now said that the Colonel's plan was given out for a "blind," under cover of which military equipment was to be purchased ostensibly for the African republic, but in reality for the use of the Mexican revolutionists. TwoGatiing guns are known to have been contracted for, but it seems the African scheme was sprung prematurely or the revolutionary movement was delayed too long, and government officials becoming suspicions the contracts for arms were canceled. However, it is rumored that interesting developments may be expected at any moment. The Rebel Leader Had Flown. 8an Antonio, Tex., Jan. 13. Capt George F. Chase and his troop of United States Third Cavalry, arrived at the home of Antonio Gonzales, the father-in-law of Catarino Garza, at the Poiito Blanco ranch in Neuces connty yesterday. Tbe ranch was thoroughly searched, but Garza nor his men were not to be found, although there were indications that they had been there recently. General Stanley received a letter from Captain Wheeler, in command at Fort Kinggold, yesterday, stating that the county judge of one of tbe counties of that section is rendering the revolutionists assistance, and that he is loud and bold in bis denunciations of tbe United States troops. General Stanley will take steps to have the Judge impeached and punished if he finds, upon investigation, that the charges of Captain Wheeler are true. Close on Garza's Trait. Washington, Jan. 18. General Schofield said to-day that the latest reports from General Stanley, commanding the Department of Texas, indicated that Garza's band waa badly scattered and nearly disorganized; that the men were hiding in tho chapparal, and that United States troops were close on the trail of Garza, with reasonable expectations' of capturing him.

Four ITundred and Fourteen Lives Lost by the Sinking: of a Chinese Steamer. London, Jan. 13. A dispatch was received here to-day from Hong Kong stating that tbe steamer Melfoo has arrived at that port bringing intelligence of tbe loss of tbe steamer Namcbow, oil Cnpchl Point, Tbe Meifoo reports that tbe shaft of tbe Namcbow was broken, supposedly at tbe point where it emerges from tbe hulL Tbe water rushed into tho shaft alley and made its way into the engine-room and thence into tbe tire-room. The steamer's fires were soon extinguished and sne settled rapidly. The water continued to pour in and in a short time the vessel foundered. Tbe steamer was employed in trading locally in the China seas and sho had on board a very largo number of Chinese passengers. She sank so rapidly that it was impossible to launch her boats, even had she had enough to carry all hands on board. When she went down she carried with her 4U persons, every one of whom was drowned. The steamer was officered by Europeans and her crew also consisted of sailors, iiremen, etc, from different European countries. They stood to their posts to tbe last And did everything cos eible to save their vessel. All of them went down with the steamer. WATER WOULD NOT QUENCH IT. Disastrous Fire at Leeds, England River Aire a Seething Mass of Flames. Special to tbe Indlanspolls JonrnsL London, Jan. 13. There was a great tire at Leeds to-day. It is said by those who witnessed it to have furnished a most remarkable spectacle. The railway station, beneath which the fire etartod, was jointly owned by tbe Midland, the Northeastern, the Northwestern & Sheffield and the Lincoln companies, and was built upon stupendous arches adjoining the canalized river Aire. The spaces in the arches were rentod for warehouses. In one of tbese warehouses Watson's stores the fire originated. The stores contained hundreds of tens of the most inflammable commodities soap, rosin, tallow, oil, benzine, tar, etc. Water was powerless to extinguish tbe flames fed by tbese materials, and the efforts of the firemen to control tne conflagration wero futile. Within two hours the fire had forced its way through the roofs of tbe massive arches and attacked tbe railway station, which covered ten acres of ground. Tho building soon yielded to the fury of the flames, and the fire spread to adjacent property. The railway tracks for a considerable distance were ruined, and several bridges over the Aire and across the arches were also destroyed. Ihe girders ot the bridges, warped by tbe intense heat, fell into the river, and some of the them, striking barges moored in tbe stream, sunk tbe latter and their contents, thns adding to tbe loss caused by the singular disaster. Meanwhile the masses ot boiling rosin. tallow and tar poured into tne river until it resembled avast seething cauldron. Traflio on all railroads centering in the station was stopped for many bonrs. Tbe loss by tbe fire will, it is estimated exceed 250,000. Many firemen were injured. One fireman named Scborield waa directing a iet of water from the end of a platform, when a sudden upheaval carried him into the burning gulf and to instant death. "A Time for Every Oppressor. London, Jan. 13L Mr. Spurgeon," referring to the work, "Darkest Russia," writes: "If I had all tbe health and strength that conld fall to the lot of man I would be quite unable to express my feelings on reading of Russia's intolerance of tbe Jews and dissenters. That such conduot should be sanctioned by a church bearing the name of Christian is as sad as It is strange. The Czar is greatly injuring his own country by driving out God's ancient people. No country can trample npon Israel with impunity. Jehovah is patient; but as there was a day for Pharaoh, so is there a time for every oppressor." Lord Bereiford Expects War. London, Jsn. 13. Lord Charles Beresford has officially resigned his candidacy for Parliament from North Kensington. This action proves the truth of the statement made in these dispatches some days ago that his visit to England was not on official business. It is no secret that Lord Charles is one of those who believo that war cannot much longer be postponed. He expects tbe outbreak to occur before the expiration of his present term of service in lb'J'S. and prefers his command of the great battle ship Undaunted to a seat in the House of Commons during the stirring times he expects. Influenza Detected In the Wood. Berlin, Jan. 13. The Medicmische Wochenschrif t, of this city, states that Dr. Canon, of the City Hospital, by a special mode of treatment of the biood of patients, has been able to detect many influenza cases long before the diseaso could have been recognized by tbe clinical symptoms, and that measures may accordingly be taken to arrest tbe disease before it bocomes thoroughly developed. The epidemic is spreading among horses. It is found that horses that have worked while suffering from the disease or soon after recovery are liable to rupture of the heart.

JOHN SHERMAN RE-ELECTED

Formally Declared Senator by tho Ohio Legislature in Joint Session. Members Thanked for the Honor In a Short Speech That Touched on State and National Questions Republican Delegates Elected. Columhus, O., Jan. 13. The .two houses met in joint session to-day and elected John Sherman United States Senator. Gov. McKinley and a number of prominent citizens from orer tbe State were present during the proceedings. After an official reading of the journals of the two houses, Lieutenant-governor Harris announcad that the vote of each branch was for Sherman to serve in the Senate for six years, beginning Jan. 1, 1803. A committee was appointed to call upon Senator Sherman and request his presence before the body, and in a few minutes the Senator appeared, leaning on the arm of Senator Lampson. Mr. Sherman made a short speech, returning thanks for the honor. Among other things he said: "In the recent election tbe popular verdict turned upon the tariff and silver questions. Fortunately for tho people of Ohio tbe innnmerable questions that affect their domestio policy, their homes, their property and their personal rights are left to tbe decision of Senators and lie progenia tires chosen every two years fresh from the people. These rarely constitute partisan controversy or rival sectional interests. Ohio has been singularly free from local jealousies. Our divisions are not between tbe east and the west, the north and tbe south. The lake and the river have no rivalry. Our population, although drawn from every section and almost every country, is homogeneous. The subjects of your legislation extend to every want of nearly four millions of people as active, progressive and combative as any part of mankind. Your chief trouble is the government of tbe cities, where the neglect of pnblio duty by some and tbe corruption of others contribute alike to wasteful and improvident expenditure, and beget methods inconsistent with good order and good morals. What is most needed in Ohio is a more comprehensive system of taxation, not one to increase taxes, but to apportion taxes more eqally upon all kinds of property. "While as a citizen of Ohio I venture to press these opinions, 1 know yon expect me to deal with the national questions at Washington rather than to advise you about local needs. Fortunately tbe great issues between the two parties growing out of the civil war are being settled by tho healing of time. The peoplo of the South, as well as the North, begin to realize that tbe only basis of permanent peace and good will is that all citizens must be protected in equal enjoyment of civil and political rights, without distinction of race or color, leaving social relations to be determined by each individual citizen. Though we may differ as to details, yon will expect me to stand fast to the policy of impartially protecting all American industries from undue competition with foreign labor, eo that capital may be induced to embark in new enterprises and American labor may secure such reasonable wages as are consistent with the dignity and the wants of American workiugmen. You will also expeet me to insist npon tbe best standards of value, so that labor and production will be measured by money of tbe highest purchasing power. All measures to lower the purchasing power of money operate against the laborer and producer. Good money and plenty of it is. 1 believe, the desire of both parties in Ohio. Sacred and faithfnl observance of pnblio obligations to the surviving Union soldiers of our civil war, their widows and orphans, is demanded by tbe patriotic people of . Ohio without distinction of Earty. These are the national duties of the our." Governor McKinley made a brief response to calls, and complimented the address of Senator Sherman. At the Republican legislative caucus tonight it was agreed that tho Brittain resolution to investigate the legal right of Calvin S. Brice to represent Ohio in tbe Senate should be referred to the committee on privileges and elections of the House. The impression prevails among members that this will be the end of tho proposed investigation. ---n---MsSl Praise for the President, Epeclal to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 13. This morning's Post (independent) has a number of interviews favorable to the administration. It quotes ex-Governor Steele, of Marion, as follows: "The President has justified the high opinion of his Indiana friends by giving tbe country an admirable administration. He has surprised . thoee people who predicted he would prove a failure, and now only words of praise are heard concerning his official acts." The Post says of a well-known Indianapolis man: "President J. C. Adams, of the National Brick Manufacturers' Association, and a personal friend of President Harrison for the past thirty years, was at the White House to see his former neighbor yesterday, and they had a chat. Some of his jocular friends have dubbed him Brick-maker to tbo President.' and he good-humoredly replies: 'If I could make votes for Harrison as fast as I can mako bricks, ho would have a cinch on the presidency for many years to come. He will be renominated by acclamation if Mr. Blaine is not a candidate. Only one name, in my opinion, will be presented to tho convention. If Blaine is presented to the convention, then Mr. Harrison's will not be mentioned, and vice versa. I candidly believe, however, that Mr. Harrison is the only Republican who oan carry Indiana this year.'" Nebraska Alliance Resolutions. SpedM to tne Indianapolis Journal. Ljncoln, Neb., Jan. 13. The morning and afternoon sessions of the State Farmers' Alliance were used in discussing tbe reports of the committees. The report of the committee on resolutions demands the free coinage of silver; demands that money be issued by the government direct to the people, and that it be full legal tender for all debts, publio and private; favors tbe government ownership of railways, telegraphs and telephones: advocates the postal savings banks; demands a State law making all contracts involving the payment of money payable in either gold, silver or greenbacka. the contract to tbe contrary notwithstanding; declares against the freepass system, and demands a stringent usury law; commends the members of the Legislature who stood by former resolutions of the Stato Alliance. A resolution favoring tbe government control of coal mines was knocked out and an amendment putting gold and silver mines under national control shared a like fate. When tbe resolution was reported favoring a State law to make all money contracts in money, either sold, silver or sreen backs, tl are was a lively discussion, but it was finally adopted, and. with minor amendments, the other resolutions were adopted. .

Bnt to eveiy true Scotchman who now finds his home in this magnificent country his forerunners and kinsmen helped to carve out of a wilderness almost impenetrable, it should be an incentive to loyalty, to patriotism, to all that is good and great in what goes to make np national life and honor, to remember that those compatriots, whether in civil or military life, whether called to a public career or quietly pursuing humbler vocations, have added lustre to the vages of history, laurels to the republic as well to the chaplet which graces dear old Scotland, mother of heroes, statcmen, philosophers, and embassadors of heaven, who have faithfully served God and man in every clime and everv nation which meets and greets the circling sun." .
