Governor Chase took lunch with President and Mrs. Harriaon yesterday, diced with soma friends in the evening, was then given a publio reception at tho Christian Charch, on Vermont avenae, where he preached on Banday, and later attended the White Honse reception, lie was accompanied on his rounds by Private Secretary Roberts. Tho Governor left to-night for New York, and Mr. Koberts went to Philadelphia, where the two meet to-morrow. They expect to return to Indianapolis on Saturday. Governor Chase is quite hopeful of success in his labors in behalf of Indiana's balance of l),000 of direct tax, and h9 also believes the State may get another balance of $700,000 on account of interest and discounts, etc. paid by Indiana during the war and in her support of the Union. The Governor is working hard for the State treasury at present. While here the Governor made an argument before Judge Parker, of the Department of Justice, on the direct-tax offset, upon which question a decision is expected very soon, it is confidently believed that the department will hold that there can be no offset to the direct-tax refund. Upon his return to Indiapolis Governor Chase will issue a proclamation appealing to the people of Indiana to assist the lied Cross Society in its efforts to raise fnnds with which to transport to Kussia the food contributed by Iowa. Kansas and Nebraska farmers for the famine-stricken peasants of the Czar's dominions. TIRED OF THE "OBJECTOR." ' Bellamy Sutton and Other Democrats Intend to lie tire Ilolman to Frivate Life. Ereclal to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 27. Representative Ilolman is not to have a walk-over in securing a renomination this year, if reports which have come here by mail are true. Chester IL Faulkner has received a letter from B. S. Sutton, of Shelby ville, in which he states that he has concluded to contest with Ilolman for the congressional nomination this spring, and that he does not enter the race for fun, but for-sucees. Mr. button is stated to be an influential Democrat, a prominent attorney ana division superintendent of the Dig Four railroad. An impression has gotten a footing in the Indiana delegatior in Congress that Mr. Ilolman will be de ated this year. They ay enough of his. constituents have seen through his demagogy to more than control the nomination and the election, and that he Is not in favor with tho better element of his own party in the district. DEBATE ON HOUSE RULES. Farmers Alliance Members Oppose Giving the Speaker a "CxarV Tower. Washington, Jan. 27. The discussion of the report of the committee on rules was resumed in the House to-day. and Mr. Dearmond, of Missouri, apoke in favor of the committee report, and criticised the rulings of Speaker Keed in the last Congress. Mr. Otis of Kansas congratulated the country that for the first time a representative of the third party was permitted to oo enpy the lloor of the House of Representatives. That third party claimed to be sound on the equal rights Jeffersonian doctrine, on the Washingtonlan policy of Washington and npon the Abraham Lincoln idea of the superiority of labor over capital. He proceeded to criticise the rules as conferring a dangerous power upon the Speaker and upon the committee on rules. Mr. Watson of Georgia took the floor and laid down the principles of the Farmers' Alliance party. It demanded, be said, that national banks should.be abolished as banks of issue; that the coinage of silver should be made tree and unlimited; that alien ownership of our lands should cease; that Senators should be elected by a direct vote of the people; that the government should issue money to the people who need it to perfect their exchanges practically free of cost, and through the subtreasury plan, or some better, the people should have the privilege of the use of tnat money by giving such security as was in tho commercial world considered good. The People's party demanded a graduated income tax, and that no man's business should bo built np at the expense of another man. These were its principles, and the tolling millions of the land were looking to those principles as their only meani of relief. In the course of his remarks Mr. Watr rrfeTred to the 'czarisra of Mr. Reed in ti last Congress. n This allusion gave rise t much merriment, growing principally from the fact that Mr. Watson was standing in the aisle directly in front of the ex-Speaker. The latter looked np with a benevolent smile and with a serio-comic air remonstrated with the speaker for the sentence. Mr. Watson, continuing, criticised the rules for conferring too much power upon the Speaker. No such power should be conferred upon any Speaker, whether l-.isname began with a'XV'snd became from Georgia, or began with an "R," and he came from Maine. Applause. The debate upon the rules was continued by Mesns. Dingloy, McCreary, Davis. Bynuiu and Simpson. The latter gentleman bad a very brief space of time allotted to him. but during that short interval he greatly entertained the members of the House by bis reference to a remark previously made by Mr. Funston of Kansas relative to the price of corn in Kansas. Alter further debate by Mr. Funston of Kansas and Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts the House adjourned. Y1CTOUY FOB THE FARMERS, An Oleomargarine Meat are Referred to the Hoae Committee ou Agriculture. Washington, Jan. 27. The farmers and the lawyers met face to face in the House of Reprcsoutatlvesto-day, and the result of

Only chemists can discover the Ammonia Taint in Water but any housekeeper can easily find out for herself whether she is using an Ammonia Tainted Baking Powder by boiling in a tin cup a heaping teaspoonful of the taking powder in one teaspoonful of hot water. The slightest odor of ammonia in the rising steam condemns the powder. Most baking powders contain ammonia, Cleveland's does not, not a particle but test it, you will find Cleveland's Baking Powder Stands all Tests.

the legislative skirmish was a decisive victory for the agriculturists. For several sessions there has been deoided jealousy between the committee on judiciary and the committee on agriculture in the matter of oleomargarine legislation. To-day this contest for prerogative was revived by the introduction of a bill by Mr. Hatch of Missouri to amend tho present oleomargarine law. This bill provides that oleomargarine transported into any State or Territory, or remaining therein for use, consumption, sale or storage shall, upon arrival in snch State or Territory, be subject to the laws thereof enacted in the exercise of its publio powers, in the same manner as though such oleomargarine had been produced In snch State or Territory, and shall not be exempt therefrom by reason of being introduced in original packages or otherwise. ' "I ask that the bill be referred to the committee on agriculture," said Mr. Hatch, who is himself chairman of that committee. "Under the rules the bill should go to the committee on judiciary," said Speaker Crisp. Mr. Cnlbertson. the chairman of the Judiciary committee, asked for the reading of the entire bill, and then objected to its reference to the committee on agriculture. : Mr. Hatch now formally moved that the bill be referred to his committee, and the yeis and nays were finally demanded. During the roll-call much activity was displayed by the members of the two committees oven the question of reference, but the members from agricultural districts generally rallied around Mr. Hatch, and the bill was finally referred to the agricultural committee by a vote of 123 yeas to 108 says. T introduced that bill," said Mr. Hatch to a reporter "in response to a demand of the dairy interests of every section of the country, and the purpose of it is to place oleomargarine in original packages in the same legal condition in the States that what is known as the 'Wilson originalpackage bill' places the sale and distribution of liquors. In other words, it is to give the great dairy States which have passed laws upon the subject of the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine that police control over the subject matter that the States had prior to the decision of the United States Supreme Court on the original-package question. I objected to this bill going to the judiciary committee for the simple reason that Con gress had by its deliberative action Siven to tbecommitteeon agriculture jurisiction of the subject matter of oleomargarine, and that committee, after great labor and the most careful consideration, had perfected and reported to the House a bill that was enacted into law. From that tim'j to this I have uniformly contended that all proposed amendments to that act should, in fairness to the committee that originated it. be referred to the committee on agriculture. I had no special purpose in view, except to carry out that sot and uniform praotice of the House since the oleomargarine bill became a law. The committee that inspired and successfully shaped the oleomargarine bill into such a law that Congress has never made any serious attempt to disturb it, should control all proposed amendments to it." CHINA'S OBJECTION TO BLAIR.

The Senate Aaks the President to Furnish the Papers on the Subject. Washington, Jan. 27. In the Senate, today, Mr. Morgan ollered a resolution directing the Secretary of State to send to the Senate copies of the correspondence with the Chinese government relating to the non-acceptance of Henry W. Blair as United States minister to China, Mr. Hoar suggested that the resolution should request the President to furnish the correspondence, if, in his judgment, not inconsistent with the public welfare. .Mr. Morgan did not agree with Mr. Hoar on that point. He merely wanted to know the objections asserted against Mr. Blair by the Chinese government, and the action taken by the United States. Mr. Blair bad been confirmed instantly by the Senate, and. so far as the Senate was concerned, there bad been the strongest affirmation of Mr. Blair's fitness to represent the United States government in China or anywhere else. The matter had lingered along for some time, and Mr. Blair had resinned his position, in view of the question now presented (alluding to the objection of the Chilian government to Mr. Egan) it was important to know what was the established line of procedure on the part of the government of the United States. There was no important question in connection with the diplomatic service. Mr. Hoar said he would have no objection to the resolution, as ottered, if the transaction to which it alluded was a completed one. but he did not understand that it was. The discussion on this point was further participated in by Mr. Teller, who saw no reason why the Secretary of State should not be directed to furnish the correspondence; by Mr. Chandler, who took the contrary view, not considering the matter a completed one; oy Mr. Sherman, who agreed with Mr. Chandler, and said that Mr. Blair's resignation had not been accepted, and by Mr. Morgan, who modified the resolution so as to request the President to furnish the correspondence if not incompatible with the public interests. In that form there was no objection to it and it was agreed to. MR. LEECH QUESTIONED. The Director of the Mint Before tho House Committee on Coinage. Washington, Jan. 27. The first hearing of this Congress on the silver question took place this morning before the House committee on coinage, weights and measures, Mr. Leech, the Director of the Mint, being examined. The inquiries of the freecoinage men related chiefly to whether or not the fall in the prices of silver and the world's commodities had not been practically contemporaneous, considering the question for a series of years and unaffected by any special crop condition; also, whether or not the present policy under rhich even the silver notes were redeemed gold, if desired, did not have the eil'ect of enhancing the value of gold and keeping the two metals apart. Mr. Leech was of opinion that the supply and demand for silver alone regulated its prices. Mr. Williams, of Massachusetts, an autifree coinage member, directed his inSuirics with the view of showing thatuner free coinago other nations would send their silver here, and that a single important nation could seriously impair our standing by draining gold from the United States and destroying contidence in the ability of this country to make good its promise to redeem in gold. Mr. Leech favored an international agreement as the best mode of 6olVing the question. Mr. Leech having spoken of India's large balance of trade. Mr. McKeighau, of Nebraska, asked if that, instead of showing prosperity on the part of India, did nos show that India sold so cheaply other countries preferred to buy from her rather than sell to her. When Mr. Leech responded that a large trade balance was generally thought a good thing for a oountry, Mr. McKeighau propounded this question, which was not satisfactorily answered: "Why. then, after 1SS5. when the United States had one of its largest trade balances, did we have to cushion the beams of our cars to carry tramps on!'' National Board of Trade. Washington, Jan. 27. The National Board of Trade convened to-day, at the

Seeking Five Millions for the Fair. Washington, Jan. 27. President Baker, of the Chicago directory of the World's Columbian Exposition, arrived in the city this morning to assist in pressing upon Congress the necessity of appropriating five millions for the benefit of the world's fair. It is not deemed likoly, however, that President Baker or any of the other advocates of the appropriation will obtain a hearing from any of the committees until after tho proposed investigation of the world's fair expenditures is disposed of. The plan of Chairman Durburrow, which finds indorsement from Congressman Springer and other frieuds of the world's fair, is to proceed very cautiously in urging the appropriation upon members of

uongress. At present mere, is some opfosition on the part of members of the louse." said Chairman Durburrow, of the world's Columbian committee, to-day, "and I do not consider it judicious to press the Question of appropriation for a month or six weeks yet" General Notes.
