March a-Rclative to Tumors here regarding an alleged shortage in the accounts of Dr. Charles Seaton, treasurer of Morgan county from 1S5 to 18S9. a friend of Mr. Seaton said to-day: "As a friend to Dr. Seaton. and also as one -who h the welfare of the county at heart, I will say that Dr. Seaton claims an error in etilement, and that he is entitled to certain credits. The Board of County Commissioners has ordered an investigation, which investigation is made at the expense of Dr. beaton. the county being in nowise obligated for one cent of it. He pays the entird cost of the whole matter to rind out and successfully account for this apparent shortage. If tho investigators rind him the necessary amount of credit to cover what is claimed by the county, well and good; if not, he will then make the county whoie. No tax-payer will lose a cent, or be called on for a cent of extra tax to defray any part of the expense of investigation, or apparent shortage. I ask for Captain beaton a suspension of judgment." Dr. Seaton has been a resident of this city about ten years, and has been considered above reproach. John W. Coons, of Indianapolis, recently examined the books, only from the beginning of Mr. Beaton's term, and finds an appareut shortage of 8".21tUftiof State school funds. The commissioners and present treasurer of the county, are all Republicans, and a thorough investigation has been ordered that will take in the accounts of Dr. Seaton's predecessors in otlice. This will place the shortage where it belongs. Editors to Go to 'Frlsoo. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

SECRETARY FOSTER TALKS

His Impressions of English Speakers as Bo Listened to Them in the Commons, His Views on the Immigration QuestionIrishmen and Germans Make the Best . Americans The New French Ministry. THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION. Secretary Foster Talks About the Reports of Ills Comixilsaloners VUltto the Commons. London, March a The Hon. Robert T. Lincoln, the United States minister, called upon the Hon. Charles Foster, Secretary of the United States Treasury, to-day, and with him proceeded to the House of Commons where they listened to the debate. Mr. Foster will go to Brighton to-morrow. After returning from the House of Commons Mr. Foster, in an interview, said: "Mr. Lincoln got me a seat in the diplomatic gallery, where I had the good luck to hear some of the best speakers. The debate on the arrangement of the business of the House was not tho sort to bring out oratory, but it enabled me to judge what was the style of the speaker, I naturally compared them with our men in Congress. What struck me most was tho general drawling and hesitating way of speaking, in strong contrast with our direct and more earnest style. Mr. Gladstone approached nearest to American ideas of a good speaker Mr. Laboucbere, who was next, resembled a good -congressional debater. I was also pleased with Mr. Dal four's quiet manner and his obvious ability to make a clear statement, although he does not speak with emphasis. Kegardiug the internal aspects of the House of Comnidnfl was astonished, on comparing its cramped galleries, holding a few hundred persons, with the spacious galleries of the House of Representatives in Washington. The tioor of tbe House, too. it seemed impossible, could bold the members of a great legislative body. After the debate I went to the lobby, where a number of members were introduced to me. We did not talk politics." "Was there nothing asked about the immigration commissioners!" Not there; but in the short time I have been here 1 have several times been asked to explain statements cabled as the report guaranteed by the whole commission." convicts to Amerioa one of the subjects!" "Yes; the question in Parliament in regard to the matter and the comments of the papers were based on a misapprehension that the whole commission was responsible for the report. When I appointed the commission I deemed it right to select among the five commissioners one direct representative of the labor interest. That was Mr. Powderly, and I do not find fault with his report. But that story about ex-convicts had its origin in Mr. Schultiess report People on the other side will treat the story on its merits. Here the mistake is mado of taking the statement as supported by the whole commission." "Hoes that explanation apply to another commissioner's assertion that 22,000,000 acros of productive land are lying idle here!" "As far as each commissioner is individually responsible. I do not know where Mr. Powderly got the estimate. I would not like to say his report has a partisan bias, but naturally he reports in behalf of those he feels with. Congress is a good judge of the accuracy and spirit of the statement. My aim in appointingaiie commission and In drafting the suggestions recently was not to block emigration, but to get the best class of immigrants.'' America assimilates all. Among the best we get are the Irish. We tako your clammouth Irishman, with his wife and children, all in the rough. In a few years he is absorbed altered in every physical appearance to rank with our best eitizens, lead our municipalities, and within a single generation becomes one with the best American t me. We do not seek to create re strictions that will shut out emigrants like these. Italians are replacing the Irish as hewers of wood and disgers of railways, and he hope they also will assimilate, Germans soon become Americans. The races least readily absorbed are tho Scandinavians. Norwegians and Danes. All are welcome except the refuse population of Europe." Leaving the immigration question, Mr. Foster was asked; "Can yon say whether Mr. Goscben shows signs of agreeing to an international monetary conference!" Mr. Foster replied: "My comm g here has . nothing to do with that." "Can you say if the English government has ottered to send delegates to a conference on the basis of the declaration mado by the English delegates at the Paris conference, and if the United States government would issue invitations to such a conference!" 'We certainly would assent to a conference on such a basis if England issued tho invitations." "But have not you reasons to know that Mr. Goschen expects the Washington government to take the initiative, and that he will accept your invitation!" Secretary Foster declined to say further than that the position of a flairs would not justify any statement. About French and German co-operation he was equally silent. Mr. Foster said he had intended to go to Pahs, but had changed bis mind and meant now to stay in England until he sailed for home. He felt already a great deal Potter. He bad lost about fifty pounds in weight through his attack of la grippe, but he was now regaining what he bad lost The Secretary certainly looked hearty and talked with vlracity. On being shown an American paper containing an account of his illnoss and condition when leaving, with a wood-cut portrait, he said: "That's me. The man that did that ought to be hanged." The Secretary is having many visitors and accords a courteous reception to alL IT PX.CASE9 HOBODT. Frenchmen Are Not SatUflad with the Declared Policy of the Cabinet. Pari?, March 8. At the opening of the session of the Chamber of Deputies, to-day. Prime Minister Loubet and the other members of the new Cabinet entered the Chamber and took their seats. M. Loubet immediately afterward ascended the tribune and read the declaration of the ministerial policy. He referred to the difficulties of the task the Ministers bad undertaken, and said that they relied upon the clearness of the declaration to enable the Chamber to say at the outsot whether the Ministry was to expect the confidence of the House. The primary object of the ministerial policy, he said, was the defense of all the laws of the republic and especially the laws relative to the military, patriotism, equality and education, which were the source of all national spirit and the fundamental guarantee of liberty of conscience. "The relations now existing in France between church and state have given rise," Mr. Loubet continued, "to many incidents and to varied discussions. These have involved questions so numerous and so complex as to obscure the underlying principles. We have not light enough as yet on the principles involved to guide ns in this matter. But it is our duty to consider whether we are not called upon to prepare tho way for the separation of church and state, even though we may Dot believe that there existed in tho country a majority favorable to tbe carrying out of such a measure. It is recognized, of course, to be our duty to maintain tho existing legislation based on the concordat which we shall apply in the truo spirit of its requirements. The concordat assures the positions aud rishts of the clergy. At the same time it imposes on them, whatever their rank may be. certain strict obligations. They not only owe obedience to the national laws, but are bound to confine themselves to their ministry and to keep aloof from party struggles and discussions. We shall unhesitatingly reqmre from all the observance of these obligations and we believe that we are armed with sufficient power to enforce such observance." After tiie declaration was read the Minister, replying to a question, denied that there was any arrangement between the government and tho Tope. The debate ou this subject was continued to great length, and finally a motion approving the government's explanations of the clerical ques

tion was carried by a vote of S41 to 01. Tho ministerial statement has been received coollv by the public, and it is regarded as a poor composition. It pleases nobody. Itis regarded as leaving tbe clerical question in status quo. m GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Almost a Panio In England Over the Rapid Rise In the Price of Coal. London, March 3. Tho action of the miners in announcing that they would go on strike on the 12th inst, and the rapid rise in the prices of coal following that announcement, is leading to a panic The cold weather, which has led to the consumption of a larger quantity of coal than nsual. continues to prevail, and this fact has caused the alarm to be greater than

would otherwise have been the case. No ono knows where the advancing prices will stop, and consequently everybody is anxious to lay in enough coal now to carry them over the two weeks' strike. Tbe dealers who sell to consumers are flooded with orders, and all the coal wharves and depots are besieged with small dealers. The merchants declare that if the present war is continued the stocks will last for only two days. The newspapers all publish articles in reference to the situation and urge tho publio not to become panicstricken, as prices cannot make a much further advance, owing to foreign competition. The retailers are doubling the advance made by the coal-mine owners. Three Men Killed by a Thief. Paris, March 3. Three men were tonight detected robbing the landlord's room in the wine-shop on the Rue St Denis.

In reply they were told that the instructions would only apply to France, and that the Vatican did not intend to display hostility to the existing monarchies. Surprised at the Amount of Indemnity Asked. Valparaiso, Chili, March 8.

PUREST AND BEST LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE- OF OTHER BRANDS ::-!- POUNDS.20 -fc HALVES,! 0 QUARTERS, SOLD W CANS ONLY JOHNSON WINS TIIE FIGHT West Indianapolis Has a Right Lively Exhibition of Brutality. Colored Pnjjilists Engage in a Twelve-Round "Glove Contest," Ending with Williams, of Omaha, Laid Oat Cold. About threo hundred sports witnessed a right sharp fistic encounter in West Indianapolis last night, between Jack Williams, of Omaha, and J. W. Johnson, the champion middle-weight of Indiana. The fight was awarded to Johnson in tho fourteenth round. Williams is a thoroughbred negro, as black as ink. He stripped last nisht at 196 pounds. His height is six feet and a trifle over two inches, and he is muscled like an ox. His age is twenty-eight years. Williams claims to havo fought eighteen battles, seventeen of which be states be won, while the other was a draw. Tho drawn battle was fought with Jim Hamilton at St. Paul, in 1S10, and lasted through 103 rounds. Johnson is twenty-one years old, six feet tall ana weighs 15(5 pounds. He has bad thirty-eight fights, and has never been wbipped, although three of his battles resulted iu a draw. The apparent discrepancy in weight was compensated for by Johnson's superior science and agility. He is as quick as a cat and handy with bis "dukes' while Williams was inclined to be slow and cumbersome. Some of the iatter's blows were delivered with territio force, but failed to land, while Williams managed to make his exertions count. The light was billed for 9 o'clock,llbut time was not called until two hours and a half later. An electrio lamp had been rigged up in the center of tho room, and the delay, as alleged, was caused by an attempt to get tbe current turned on from an adjacent engine. The current was not turned on and the meeting came off by lamplight. Thero is good grouud for suspicion that the delay was worked to enable the vender of beer to empty several kegs that bad been laid in for this special occasion. The interim was unsatisfactorily filled in by several very amateurish contests between local talent. Tbe crowd of thre hundred was approaching the point of insurrection when the two negroes finally stepped to their corners at 11:25. Both were stripped bare to the waist. Williams wore black trunks and white hose, while his lighter competitor was in black trousers and socks. Williams was seconded by Pres Davis and John Hicks, while Herbert Hold and C. Parker performed a like service for Johnson. Ed Creasey was chosen referee, while Charles Shafer and P. Mc Horn an officiated as time-keepers. The fight was with four-ounce gloves. The iirst round was not productive of substantial results. It was slightly in favor of Johnson, who landed a blow on his antasonist's breast. The second round was slightly in favor of Johnson. There was a sharp exchange of blows and tbe lighter man was deftly play ing for bis adversary's wind. The third round produced no results, both men evidently holding ott to regain their seoond wind. Williams stood up In tbe center of tho sixteen-foot ring, while Johnson walked around him like a bantam rooster. The fourth round was decidedly to Williams's advantage. Swinging his right hand around, he caught Johnson on the right ear. sprawling him at full length. Johnson clambered up. and was knocked down again. There were claims of foul, but the claim was not allowed. At the call of time for the fifth round Johnson came up looking groggy and veiy unsteady on his feet. Possibly this was a trick. Any way. while Williams appeared to be felicitating bimseit on tho easy thing be had found Johnson's right arm went out and Williams went down, lie was on his feet in an instant and time was called with Johnson stock again on the rise. In the sixth there was little action, and in the seventh Johnson forced the fighting, though with little result. In the eighth Williams was knocked down like a beef. In the ninth round the mill nearly broke up in a general tight. Williams was knocked down, and while Johnson was trying to get at him to bmsn mm Williams was dragged by his seconds into his corner. The tenth produced nothing, and in the eleventh Referee Crossly nearly had to adjourn the right to go out and whip an obstreperous spectator who made a motion to draw a gun. The twelfth and thirteenth rounds showed neither to have decidedly the best of it. though Johnson was slightly the favorite. In the fourteenth round, afrer cautious sparring, Jofinson struck Williams a stinging blow square between the eyes, spreading him full length on the lloor. As he climbed ' up Jobnson causbt aim again in tbe same place, and down he went. He feebly arose the third time, and this time he was iinished. He lay like a log. his seconds were unable to up-end him, and 31 r. Johnson was declared the winner, amid tremendous applause. The tight closed at 12:15. The contest was for $X0 a side and gate receipts. IVnnted Uetectirrs. The Panhandle machine-shop strikers held a meeting at the Criminal Court room last night, but took good care to keep quiet about whatever may have .been done. The company endeavored to employ the services of tho McMillan detective' agency to protect the new men, but the agency refused to allow bis patrolmen for that service. The men who are working there are doing so under a strong guard. People's Party Fathers to He "Turned Down." St. Louis. Mo., March a The recent exposure of tbe methods adopted by tbe People's party men to control the industrial conference held here has stirred up trouble.
