larger and heayy shipments aro looked for to London. The rates lor sterling have advanced sharply, sicht bills to-day selling as high as $4.84. -which shows a moderate profit on cold shipments to London, but the English bankers desiro a larger margin of profit than the continental bankers and may wait, it is thought, for farther advance in sterling before shipping gold. The ellect of the action of the large German gold-exporting houses in relosing to sell bills except to immediate customers remains yet to be seen. Other exchange houses are reticent as to their own policy and claim tiiat they cannot see into even the immediate future, but acknowledge that tbey may ba compelled to shin in the absence of a sufficient supply of hills from the West and South. Many f tlorts have been made in Wall street to exaggerate the importance of the prices, hot confidence at present seems not to have been aerloaaly disturbed. RAILWAY STRIKE BREWING.

Managers of Chicago Linei Expect Trouble with Their Switchmen boon. CniCAGO, Feb. 15. Chicago railway managers have settled down to the conviction that they are going to havo trouble with their switchmen. Nevertheless they are determined to resistto the bitter end the demands which they are confident will be presented within a few days. At a meeting last week the managers unanimously agreed to allow no advance in the wages of employes this year, and they say they will adhere to that resolution regardless of consequences. The switohmen were in. session Sunday night, Monday night and Tuesday night, and it was learned yesterflay that they had completed the schedule pf wages that is to be submitted in the orm of a demand to every railroad enterng Chicago. If the demand is refused, as t certainly will he, there is little doubt that a ctrike will follow, unless the men )houl oe swerved from their purpose by teeing the hopelessness of such an under iaking. For the first time the Chicago roads are tolidly united in defyiug a threatened strike of employes. The manager of one of the leading companies said yesterday: "Whatever comes we will cot submit to the demands of the switchmen for an increase of wages at this time. If we should do so how long would it be before every other class or employe wo aid come to the front wth similar demands? We cannot ilora it. and. rather than surrender, we will go out of the business. That is the ultimatum of every railroad mauager in Chicago, and you can depend upon it that Dot one of them will recede from that position. The world's fair is" close at hand, and the time has been chosen as an opportune one to force ns into submission. True, the railways expect to largely increaso their passenger earnings this y ar, but the added expenses and the delay to freight tratlio will offset the gain to such an extent that they will consider themselves fortunate if they can show the usual net increase at the end of tne year. We have always endeavored to treat our men fairly, and shall continue to do so, but the agitators among tueaa are constantly causing trouble. If they obtain what they ask for they think by the aame means they can obtain more; so they become more and more arrogant and dictatorial and cease to be. reasonable in their demands. It is time to call a halt. The cost of switching has. in a comparatively hort time, increased from 17 to SO cents a oar, and in many cases live switohrengines are employed to do the work that three formerly did. Yet the cry is always for more pay and less work. The switchmen may strike, but they will not get what they demand this time, even though the railroad companies are forced to shut up shop." Switchmen In Council. Et. Louis, Feb. 15. The general grievance committee of the Switchmen's Mutual Aid Association of North America began its annual session here in secret this afternoon. The general committee is composed of tbe chairmen of all local grievance committees, and met to-day by request of Grand Master John E. Wilson, of Chicago. to hear tbe reports of local committees, and to prepare a schedule to be presented to the general managers of all roads terminating in St. Louis, the old schedules having expired Jan. 1. As to Just what grievances will be presented to the committee, the switchmen will make known in secret session. The committee claim that there is no grievance of any serious nature to be coLsidered, although quite a number of them are in favor of demanding an increase in pay. They claim that the matter will be determined by the Chicago switchmen. If they ask for an increase in their schedule the committee here will ask for the same money. Tho schedule will, in all probability, be drawn up and presented to the general managers of the roads Friday. CARNIVAL BECAME A U0L0C0UST.

ANOTHER MEMBER CHOSEN

Cleveland' Names lloke Smith, of Geor gia, for Secretary of tbe Interior, Firo of His Cabinet Officers Now Selected Gresbsm Will Hold II is Judgeship Till After the 4th of March. Lakewood, N. J., Feb. 15. Mr. Cleveland announced tho name of the tilth member of his Cabinet this evening. It is that of Hoke Smith, of Georgia, for Secretary of the Interior. In making the announce ment Mr. Cleveland said: "I met Mr. Hoke Smith, ot Georgia, in my office in New York to-day. He called at my request. I offered him the position of Secretary of the Interior. He accepted. I wish to say that I have not written him or received any letters or other communica tions from him, and that to-day was the first time I have seen him since the election." Mr. Cleveland went to New York on the 6:30 a. M. train, and returned at 5:10. He remained at his office, .in the Mills Build ing, all day, and saw only those who called by appointment. Mrs. Cleveland accompanied him to and from the city. The selection of Hoke Smith, with that of Gresham, Carlisle, Ilisselland Lamont, tills all of tho positions except the portfolios of the Navy, the Attorney-general and Agriculture. Gresham Won't ltelgn Till After Starch 4. Chicago, Feb. 16. Judge Walter Q. Gresham admitted to-day, for the first time since his name has been mentioned in connection with the Cabinet of Presidentelect Cleveland, that he had been offered and had accepted the position of Secretary of State under the incoming Democratic administration. The Judge, however, could not be induced to talk at length concerning his own apDointment or the circumstances surrounding bis selection, and would say nothing of bis future plans. "The announcement, as telegraphed from the Kast this morning." said he.is correct. Mr. Cleveland asked me to take the position as a member of his Cabinet, and, after due consideration,! accepted tbe honor. The matter was under consideration for some time, but 1 was unable to say anything until tbe President-elect had officially made tbe announcement. That has been done, and there remains nothing more to be said." "When will you send in your resignation as jndge of the United States Circuit Court!" Judge Gresham was asked. "I don't know. I have no plans to make public." "When were you first asked by Presidentelect Cleveland to enter his Cabinet!" The Judge did not reply to this question, and refused absolutely to say anymore. It is understood that Judge Uresbam will not resign from the bench until after March 4. when his successor can be named by Mr. Cleveland. Tbe Judge's private chamber at the Federal building was transformed into a reception hall to-day. Hosts of the jurist's admiring lriends called to congratulate him. The visitors were men of prominence in both parties. Attorneys and judges, business men and even clergymen called to shake the hand of the coming Secretary of State. Itefused to Approve Grrfhnm'i Appointment. Springfield, lib, Fob. 15. The lower House of the Illinois Legislature was thrown in an uproar for half an hour today by Representative Meyer, of Chicago, moving to suspend the rules for tho introduction of a resolution congratulating President-elect Cleveland npon the selection of Hon. Walter Q. Gresham as a member of the Cabinet. The Democrats opposed the o onsideration of tbe resolution. .-but the Republicans demanded tbe yeas and nays on the motion to suspend the rules, determined, of course, to emburrass the Democrats as much as possible by forcing them into a position of withholding their approval of tbe President-eleot'6 action. Amid the greatest disturbance and the vain attempts of several gentlemen to explain their votes the roll was called, resulting in the defeat of the motion to suspend the rules by a vote of 5G yeas to CO nays. Came Within One Vote of Election. Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 15. The twentyfourth senatorial ballot to-day was the most exciting of the season. John Charles Thompson lacked one vote of securing tho election. The vote was as follows: John C. Thompson, Democrat, IM; William Brown, Populist, 1; G. T. Beck, Democrat. 14: F. E. Warren, Republican. 7; C. D. Clark, Republican. 2. Thirteen Republicans voted for Beok, Democrat. All the Democrats except Baker, of Converse county, and all the Populists except Taylor, of Albany county, voted for Thompson. It is now thought there will be no election, as the Populists will now vote for one of their number the, remaining days of the session. Editor Mori' Successful Rival. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Wasiiixoton, Feb. 15. Fx-Representa-tivo Patrick A. Collins, of Boston, is here. The friends of Mr. Collins assert positively that he will be appointed consulgeneral to London, the most desirable position in the consular service. General Collins appears to have etlectually ousted editor Morbs, of Indianapolis, who some time ago pre-empted this position. ON THE VERGE OF WAR. Concluded fromlFirst Faff. llcans. If the Republicans would not surrender, then ho would be forced to order the militia to drive them from the ball at tbe point of the bayonet. A voice asked: "Will yon abide tbe decision of the courts!" The Governor declined to reply, and left the hall. Ex-Governor Osborne, Republican, who had accompanied the Governor, addressed tho IIouho. He said he had come with the Governor from a conference between a committee of citizens and tho chief executive and he was assured from the temper of the Governor and his associates that they would consent tono compromise. Continued resistance by the Republicans be said, would lead to bloodshed and tbe scenes of the border wars would bo repeated. To-morrow would see the gathering inTopekaof hundreds of Republicans aud Populists. Tho intense feeling which prevailed will lead to a contiict and blood would surely How. In conclusion he counseled moderation on the part of the Republicans. . When Governor Osborne ceased speakincr, R, B. Welsh, chief assistant sergeant-at-arms, gathered his men about him und gave them instructions to follow in tho event of the military appearing in tho ball. lie told them not to use their revolvers until ordered by him to do so. Representative Sherman, addressing the House, said tha? Colonel Hughen, commander of the militia, had told him t ii t he had ordered his men not to fire unless in self-defense. The Republicans then tore up the desks on the Populist side, aud with them constructed a barricade in the corridor and filled the stairway with them, making an obstruction which it will be very ditlicult to scale. WAR rREI'ARATlOXS. Tho Governor Call Oat AH the State Mill, tla A Sheriff ltefn Aid. Topeka, Kan.. Feb. 15. The Populists. ; anticipating thee vents of to-day. attempted to throw tbe burden of the situation on Sheriff Wilkinson, of this county. Tbe Governor informed him otticially late yesterday evening that rumor, apparently well founded, were in circulation to the effect that a lawless mob (the Republican House of Representatives) contemplated the forcible invasion of '.he hall of the House of Representatives, and called npon him to summon a nlieritlVi posse comitatns to resist such lawless invasion, and to preserve the peace. Speaker Dunsmore. of tho

Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report

Populist House, sent the following to the sheriff: Sir I hereby call on you, as sheriff of fkawnee county, for sulficlent force to preserve the peaco and authority of tbe House of Representatives. .The sheriff, after taking legal advice, refused to comply with the demand of the Governor and Populist Speaker, andnotilied them as follows: Your communication calling on me, ns sheriff, for suflicient force to preserve tho peace and authority of tbe IIouso over which you preside has been received, aud In reply I will say if there la a House of Representatives legally organized it Is clothed with the power to appoint a eVrKeant-nt-arme who has all tho power neceswary to call to his assistance any number of citizens necessary to enforce the authority with which be is Invested by tho House. Not wishing to decide which House la the legally organized body, I ehail take no part as long as tho peace and quiet of the citizens remain undisturbed. The reply of the sheriff determined the Governor to call out the militia and after the Republicans made forcible entrance to' Representative hall he wired the commanders of various companies to repair at once with their commands to the scene of hostilities. Since tbe inauguration of tbe Populist Governor the State militia has received but little ohicial attention. The appointmont of Adjutant-general Artz was only confirmed yesterday. He is not very conversant with military affairs, and during the excitement to-day he has served more in the capacity of an orderly to Gov. Lewellyn, commander-in-chief, than in blub military capacity. The only capable othcer of rank on the ground is Col. J. F. Hughes. To him late this morning Adjutant-general Artz delivered the following order: You are hereby ordered to assume active command of all othcer, and men of the Kansas National Guard, assembled in Topeka and around tho statebouse. I. J. Levelling, Commander-in-chief. Upon receiving the order Colonel Ilnzbcs at once took charge of the militia, and brought order out ot chaos. The various companies, which had been drawn up about the Statehouse according to the ideas of the individual commandants, were given stations at the four main entrances to the Capitol, on its four sides. Squads of men were posted at all the basement entrances. Sentinel lines were thrown out. and the situation assumed a raally military aspect. TIIK TLAN OP SIKGK. The forces were divided into three parts, each to remain on aotivo duty eight hours, while the other two, while being held in reserve, are permitted to obtain rest and refreshment. This plan was adopted to aid in carrying out the general plan of a siege. The Populists decided not to force the issue by an assault upon tbe Republican position in Representative hall, but to conquer the enemy by siege, and thus avert a coniliot and possible bloodshed. The Republican House is in no condition to stand a prolonged siege. It has neither supplies nor means ot obtaining them. During the excitement prevalent at noon they succeeded in rnnntna tbe Populists blockade and secured sandwiches and cottce for lunch. Enough was left over for a measre meal this evening, but when that is gone all is gone, and with it all hope of eat mg except at the cost of unconditional surrender. Guards have been stationed in all thecorridors leading io Representative hall and rt all the entrances to and exits from tbe building, and no one is allowed to enter the building. Any one can leave the hall who desire-i, but once he leaves be leaves for good, and is not permitted to return. No passes are given by Colonel Hughes throutrh tho lines. Even nwspapor men ar denied entrance to th buildiug. At 6 o'clock the Republicans telephoned from Roprenentativu Hall to a caterer to prepare a lunch and deliver it at tbe hall. In tho event of being unable to send it through the lines he was instructed to take it to a position under oue of the windows of Representative halt, from which Position the Republicans would elevate it by meunn of a rope to Representative hall. '1 be catarer'a messenger, while attempting to carry out the order, was challenged by the pickets and arrested, and his stores captured. He was allowed to go by Col. liugbes, - after having been reprimanded and cautioned. The Republicans thus find themselves in a position which cannot be maintained for long. Starvation stares them in the face, with unconditional surrender as the only alternative. An incidental deprivation is thatof steam by which the hall is heated. The janitor of tbe building by Adjutant-general Artz's order, turned off the steam in Representative hall soon after the Republicans barricaded them in, and they have been without heat all day. They managed to keep reasonably warm by wearing their overcoats and hats. The Populists in order to get a military backing for their house by 1 o'clock, tho appointed hour set for it to meet this afternoon, hastily collected a lot of twentyfive men, chiolly farmers. These were marched to the arsenal in the JStatehouse yard, where they were given uniforms and arms, and thus arranged, a sergeant began to drill them for duty. At 1 o'clock they marched to the space in the east wing of the Statehouse. Later the Oakland company appeared in the yard and marched up the steps of the building into the hall in front of tbe Governor's otliod, and after being put through some maneuvers were countermarched back into tho yard, where they stood in line waiting orders. Two cannon were run out of the arseual and loaded with shot, and everything wore a decidedly warlike appearance. A dispatch from Wichita says: At 1:45 P. M. to-day, Capt. Willis Metcnlf, commanding Battery A, First Artillery, received the following from Governor Lewelling: "Assemble your company forthwith, arms and equipments with all possible speed. Report to me at the htatehouse in lopeka. llring with you tho Gatling gun belonging to your command." The order was at once executed, and the battery left for Topeka. It will arrive at its destination at 4:S0 Thursday morning. Lieutenant Hisey. of Company II. Kansas City. Kan., received a telegram this afternoon from Adjutant-general Artz. ordering him to take all tho men he could summon to Topeka to-night. He was also instructed to take fifty ritles. Company 11 has been in a bad state of disorganization for some time, and has been contemplating dixbanding. Lieutenant lliaey onld secure only thirty-five men, aud with them started for Topeka this evening. They took with them the fifty rifles mentioned in the Governor's order. Republicans Indorsed.

A meeting of South-side citizens was held last night at the storo of Thomas McKenzie, corner of West and Hay streets, in behalf of tbe Kay-street site for a Dew bridfre to West Indianapolis. A large number were present, and a'sweepiug unity of sentiment marked the numerous speeches. Tne presiding oilicer was A. J. Stephenson, and tho secretary was F. K. Fink.

Dennv O'Hrian. John Flahrity, William bchaiter, and A. J. Stephenson. The sense of the meeting was embodied in a series of resolutions declaring as follows: FirstThat the erection of the bridge at Hay street will accommodate the lurvrest uumherot tho public, frtvlnir them a public highway across tho river from Warren towu-hlp to Wayne townshin. This Is tho afe point, and tho point that will accommodate the largest number of fanr.ers and cardencrs, as well a the mechanics and laboring clashes in troinff to and from their work ou either side of tho river. eecoud-The taxpayers of the South gide want this improvement placed atltar street and Woodburn avenue for tho reaou that Kentuckr u enue now has a pood bridge, and Hay Ktreet Is the dividing point between tho Kentueky-aveniio bridge and the Morris-street brldci , and the dan er to tbe public would be creatly increaiel by bulldlnc the bridge ou Kentucky avenue frn the fact that it would thtow all travel for full? half a mile parallel with the Ylnrenne railroad, and then would have to cro all the railroads west of tho Union Station lo reach the center of the. city. Third If left to the taxpayers of Warren and W'ayuo townships and tho Kmthiars a larce majority would say this Is the point that will accommodate the larpcst number of the ireueral public. If tho city charters tho new .outh-nide street-railroad the bridgo nt i;ay street would ba the point at which it would croKs the river to reach West Indianapolis. IJrlef Politic! Intirvlrr.
