THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1893.

Senators ai langaino of the success ( of the mcbt sessions or of the taccens of !

the bill in its present shape as is Mr. Voorbees. A larzo majority of the Senators assert that the bill cnnnot bo passed, except ia & modified form, and others agree ith Senator M Anderson in the assertion that if no compromise is reached a recess or the Senate until Xoveraher will be necessary, which would virtually mean the abandonment of the bill. .Senator Carey, who has not so far identified himself with either side, said to-day that the inevitable of the night session experiment would be an agreement upon a compromise bill. SHADES Or GAUHI30N! A Massachusetts Mugwump Takes Sides with the Kx-SUta Driver. Washington, Oct, 7. Although lomo of the most brilliant speakers of the House participated in the election bill debate today, tho attendance was so slim that bat little interest was aroused. Perhaps tho speech which created the deepest impression was that delivered by Dr. Everett, tho Massachusetts mngwnmp. Dr. Everett came here with a high reputation as a college professor and & political reformer, and some curiosity was excited as to tho position he would take on this question, lie admitted the corrnption existing in the South and In the great centers of oopnlation. bat maintained that theso laws only irritated and kept open wounds so deep seated that they were taxing the best energies of all social and political reformers. The House was practically deserted when the Speaker dropped th gavel at 11 o'clock this morning. The galleries were empty, and thre were but twenty-one members oo the door ten Democrats and eleven Republicans. The annual report of the board of managers of the national soldiers' homes was laid bofore the Honsc Dr. Everett then opened the debate on the election bill. In appearance he looks like the college professor that be is. He wears clonel v-rronnnd nirin vrhmlrera Anrl irnM. bowed classes, and talks with great earnestness. Tho immoral sentiment in politics, be began, could not be etauiued out by thcHe laws, lie granted that the laws were within the scope of tho Constitution, bnt he contended that the power should only be exercised under circumstances of extreme preaatire. Some of tho States, like New York, did not send presidential electors when Washington was elected, and this power was given to remove this neglect of States. These laws revived tho bitter feeling which the Union only pnt down after four bloody years. It was admitted that these laws were inelective. In spite of them iho same corruption still existed in the South, and in the great centers of population. This was demonstrated by the fact that the Republicans nought to strengthen them by the infamous forco bilL The great cities New York. Philadelphia and Chicagopresented another terriblo problem.. Corruption, restlessness, despair existed in these great liabylons to an extent that made the reformer and the divine tremble. The old leaders of the Republican party Andrew. Adams and Lincolnwere never identitied with coorcion. In conclusion, he welcomed the confederates back to the halls of Congress because tbey were bis brothers, because Massachusetts was a Union State, lie appealed to his colleagues to blot out the memories of the past and work for liberty and union. General Grnsvenor. of Ohio, followed in opposition. He made a vigorous assault on the Democratic party for its attempt to strike down the national proteetion of the ballot, lie said that tho Democratic party was making a great political blunder by repealing these laws. Mr. Grosvenor said that Massachusetts could not permit her distinguished son to ay that that great State was in favor of the repeal of the thirteenth amendment to the Constitution. Massachusetts would not consent that the fourteenth amendment should bo wipd out. Nor did he believe that Massachusetts believed that the fifteenth amendment should be repudiated and repealed. And thatwss the position taken by the gentleman from Massachusetts, lie ridiculed the Chicago platform, and thought that it should be referred to a master in chancery to rind out what in the nano ef God it did mean anyhow. Laughter. Referring to the foroe bill And the present condition of affairs in the Senate, be said, sarcastically, that filibustering was a virtue when there was a force bill; but it was a crime when the purchasing clause of tho Sherman act was to be repealed. Congress had been 'called in extraordinary session for a special purpose. Congress had been in session for two months, and tho people were worse oQ today than they were two months ago, because they could not get from the Democratic party any worthy legislation to help them. Mr. Oates. in opposing tho federal eleotion bills, ealogied tho hoatliem States, deolaring that the people of those States wero law-abiding citizens, incanable. as had been charged, of keeping & nursery of lraud. He then opposed the law on constitutional grouudt. lie believed that the States wvtv. capable of Statu government. Mr. Hepburn denied that the present statutes interfered with local elections in the states. The only pornose of the foderat election laws was that there, should bn pe&co at the polls; that there should bs tho rihtof every voter to vote an be pleased. This repoal was but the prelude for something luuie. Gentlemen would not be solicitous if there wii4 not an ulterior object winch could not be nccouiDl'.fthed n lov.a ns these lara wero in lorcu; nnd that object was tho cuinpieto overturning of the whoio Irtbric of the governmeur. He lind no desire for mvro domination, bat ho did !eHire that rvrry man who was a citizen of tho United States, whether he won black or vbite. ali.jul.I iittvti on all ocoisiout tho power to nxercise bin rights. He denied that the federal election lawn h&d been dcft'.gned to perottuate the Kouublicuu party in power. Mr. Ctinuoii said that ho did not expect tlint anything to could ouy would changn n im.;le vot on the peudiug measure, hut wished to declare ?nat tho necessity end propriety of the. iuUiTal election laws bad been iniKrepreqented by gentlemen on the other Hide. Jit defended the constitute 1niity of those laws, nnd said that citizens baiuj tho rlsjht to vote should be allowed to uercieo that riilif, and neither corruption nor intimidatiou should deprive them of that right. Fifteen members were present at 5:4o'clock, when the House took a recess until b o'ebick. At the night flexion the galleries were comfortably tilled, but only eight momber were iu tbeithouts. Mr. kilgore occupied the chair. The speakers were Grady, Dunn, McCleary and Anderson. Tho Honb'j at 10:5 adjoariiad until Monday at 11 o'clock. NATIONAL. SOLIJIKKS IIOJIE. Interesting Stttitic I'retented by the Hoard of Maunders. WasthxciTox, Oct. 7. Chairman Outhwaite, of the committee on military affairs, presented to the House tins morning the report of the board of managers of tho national homo for disabled volunteer isoldicrs. The homo consists of seven institutions, known as branches, located at Dayton. O.: Milwaukee, Wis.; Augusta, Me.; Hampton, Va.; Leavenworth, Kan.; Santa Monica. Cal and Marion, Ind. Gen. V. 11. Frankliu, president of the board, presents the following statistics and suggestions: Average cost per member for the year ending June SO, waa 118.75, and for 1803, S140.C5. The inorease of the average number prsseut during tho year lbVJ was C5, andinlb93. 4C5. the number fcr m; being about half of the average increase for tho preceding live years. There were thirty less deaths in lS'Xi than in the previous year. Tb average age of thoso cared for in ltt2, was 5W.C3 years, and in is3, was 5'..03 year.

'I ho national government pays to lbeo State home?, 5 7. SB 1.75. Amount expended for the heme, $2.00 . aside from construction and repair. The gold cure for drunkenness has been tried in,tbo home and all Us branches with nccesa, about fourteen thousand being reformed. It is pointed out that the depression in business materially increases the number of inmates in the homes, as in the discharge of employes many old soldiers who have been able to earn a livlag are usually the first to bo droppsd. The amount appropriated for Uas year ending Jon. SO, l&M, was $2,S7V

SG3.S9. The board submits no estimates for the year ending June 30, 15"V5, but says that the abnormal increase of membership-of the home tor tho lirtt three months of the current fiscal year warns the board the amount appropriated for the present year will bo insutb'cient for the next year. During the three months the increase shows 103 more present than for the corresponding time last year. The amount estimated for State and territorial homes is S575.0C0 the same as the last year. The report nays that because thero has been adecrr-aie in membership for tho past two years is no indication that numbers in tho home is about to diminish. .Every year the losses of meinbershiu by Vlischarged and death are greater than the year previous, but each year the admissions more than make np these losses. No one ran tell how long this state of things will continue, but there are at this tune one million persons living who if they become unable to support themselves, wiil be entitled to admission. It is predicted that tho membership will increase for sens years to com?. Dutiable oort at the Fair. Washington, Oct. 7. The matter of the proper disposition of the large amount of dutiable goods now on exhibition at the Columbian exposition after its close is engaging the serious attentiou of theTrcasury Department. In the expectation that a good proportion of the exhibits will bo sold, instead of being returned to the countries whence tbey were brought, the department is detailing a number of appraisers at Chicago so as to aot promptly on all appiiratiens for appraisement in goods. An estimatnmade some time ago showed that the amount of dutiable goods on exhibits is between S3.000.000 and 810,000,000.

He was asked what be had to say in regard to the rumor that be would leave the Democratio party and turn Populist, becoming a candidate for United States Senator to sucoeed Senator Marnierson. He said he did not havo anything to eay about the senatorship. As to the report 'that bo was to leave the Democratio party he would say, as he had said at the convention: ''Whenever 1 am satisfied that the Demooratio party, as a party, is in favor of the single gold standard. I will serve my country under any name.'7 Ferrets Sent to the Strip. Washington, Oct. 7. Special agents of the Land Office have been detailed by Secretary Hoke Smith to the Cherokee Strip to ferret out tho frauds committed by "soon ere'' at tho opening.

Johnson, the bicyclist, arrived in this city to-day. Ho is sreatly incensed over the dispatch from Springfield, Mass., stating that Johnson nevermade tho record attributed to him on the kite traok at In dependence, la. The dispatch gave E. C. Dumblf ton as anthorltyjfor the statement that Johnson had, in the presence of Eck, Khodrs and others, disavowed the record. Mr. Eck contradicts this story ia the most emphatic manner; save that no such conversation ever occurred, and that ho does not know Mr. Dumbleton. Furthermore, be says, he ran prove the mile record and that seven ditlereut watches were beld on it. Mr. Eck is at a loss to know why such a story should have been started, "unless." sid he. "it is the result of jealousy on the part of some member of t;se Springfield club, which wants its track considered the fastest iu the country." WHY DO "WOMEN FEAR MICEf A ilrlcf Esntiy in "Which the Question Ij Xot Answered. London Woman. As a woman, and I trust a brave one, a lover of animals and a student of natural history. I ask the vexed question in all seriousness. Why are women afraid of mice? Why should the sight (I had almost written the name) of a tiny, harmless, gmcoful little creature strike terror into the stoutest hearts that beat in feminine breasts? Echo answers: "Why?" The fear of mice is a hereditary curae, an Inherited weakness, a fatal fo?. vhlch it 13 useless to combat, a foolish dread of which we ought to feel heartily ashamed, and yet it ia a real and a fo rmldable torror. It Is never assumed, it may he exasperated by a fit of hysteria or a succession of plercins screams, but the genuine pour a falre fremir is there all the same, and why? I remember once rending a story about a coterie of strong-minded rcmcn who gave p. series of lectures upon female virtues in j an oM country town assembly room. One ; of th:ir number ?cs chosen to deliver the lecture on valor, ana siectou for her subject the history of Jonn of Arc. Hut when the eveninrr arrived and she was discoursing upon the valor of her sex ia general, a mouse ran across the platform and the lecturer and her ctrong-mlndod sisters jumped on their chairs, clutching- their petticoats in a manner not altogether picturesque, lint I maintain that the foar of mice has nothing whatever to do with the ! lack of rcU bravery, und that Joan of Arc would prooab'.y have clutched her petticoats in precisely the sarno manner. A mouse in the chamber of Marat would, I believe, have deterred ChrvrloM O-dav from her dread purpose; and the tall of one popping opportunely from the carving of Tulllla'n chariot would have prevented her from driving over her father's corpse; and I could cite many Instances in which mice mlrht have changed the history of the world. .Wbo can doubt that Cleopatra

and the other swarthy EgypUan beauties held the cat sacred in special veneration on account of the part he played in ridding thsm of their pet aversion? Every one knows that if a cat has a weakness it is for a piump, well-matured mouse, and puss has, perhaps, for this reason earned the affection, because the gratitude, of cur sex. The story of a prison?r who was cheered In captivity by a mouse Is familiar to us all, but the prisoner was a man. Equally familiar is the fable of the grateful mouse, which gjiawed the net, but again, the prisoner is said to have been a lion, not a lioness. I bellev2 there Is a mutual antipathy between them. Most women have exp9rienced the sensation. You are sitting alone reading, playing, writing, painting or working. Suddenly you instinctively feel a sensation of horror of some evil influence that is present, but as yet unseen. You lift your eyes. You behold gilding over the carpet toward you, without noise, apparently without the trouble of walking, a mouse. It stops, it fascinates you. You drop your book, your music, your brush, your needle, whatever it may be, but you make no other sound. You feel your blood freeze and your limb3 slowly paralyze, your heart stops beating, your breath ceases, a cold chill cr3eps over you. In your Imagination you feel the soft touch of an army of mice running races over j'our face and hands and making nests in your back hair. You start to your feet, and then well, women take these things so differently. Ara women afraid of mice simply because it is bom in them? There Is no reason why we should be afraid of them, but the fact remains that we are, and I have long since resigned myself to the fact as an evil for which there is no remedy. NEW NATIONAL PARTY

To Be Built Up in the South and West by Malcontents. Au Outgrowth of the Bimetallic ConventionFree Silver Coinage to Be the Leading Issue. Special to the Indianapolis JonrnaL St. Louis, Oct. 7. A new national party is in process of formation, and, iU adherents claim, with more prospects of growth and success than any movement since the campaign of Fremont and Day ton. Tho ranamcrican bimetallio con vention which met here this weok was but the prelude of a series of conventions which is to resnlt in the formation of a new party in the West and South, made up of Democrats, Populists and all forms of Protestants against the two old parties. Free silver will be the leading issue. When Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease declared in tbo recent convention that a now Mason and Dixon's lino would divide the Fast and West 6he had the coming party In mind. At an execu tive meeting of the leaders, held subsequent to the convention, the chances of success in breakiug the solid South were discussed. It was claimed that the West and North west would swing into line if a single State in tho South could be secured before the next national campaign. Governor Tillman showed that his State eould only be carried by the Democrats, owing to the preponderance of black votes. Messrs. Manning and Kaggs. of Alabama, pointed to the last campaign in their State, and spoke hopefully of success there. Their views were accepted and a convention is to bb held at Atlanta, Ga., in December. This is to be the focus of all the free-silver men, and from whiob, it is said, will radiate a free-coiuage agitation that will surprise the Northern Democracy. Following this convention, and when all parties are dieoussing presidential candidates, another convention, fully representative, will meet in the West and lay the foundation of the new party. Said Mr. Manuing: "The Democrats of the outh are ripe lor revolt against the dictatorial methods oftbeir Eastern brethren. Cleveland had no warmer adherents than Alabama Democrats, but no man in the Stnte would raise hie voice for him today. Seceders from the party are unreserved in declaring themselves. Col. J. F. Johnson, president of the National Bank of Alabama, a free-silver man and a prominent . candidate lor Governor, is a type of these men who have deserted Cleveland since the latter's alliance with the Fast. A new Democracy on a free silver basis will, I think, sweep the West and South. We nre coin a to put the matter to a teat. All the force of the Populist and free-silver movement will bo put behind the movement in Alabnmo. Once tho way has been opened the other States will follow in our wake. Mark me, Alabama will be an eye-opener." MILITARY ntLLICS. Lonsoni Taulit by tin Austrian Subaltern anil a French Lieutenant. Youth's Companion. Austrian ofTlcers have an evil imputation for heartless treatment of inferiors in the army. A colonel, while Inspecting a regiment of Hussars on the parade ground in Vienna, was irritated by the awkward appearance of a subaltern. He angrily called the offender to his side and cuffed his ears. The officer was cut to the quick by an inFult which degraded him to the level of a lackey. He returned to his place with flushed face and tears in his eyes. Ashamed to meet the contemptous glances of the soldiers and half insane from mortification, ho shot himself in the head and died almost instantly. This tragic incident produced almost as marked an effect upon the Vienna garrlron as was caused by a similar affront, which was followed by a decline of dueling in the French army. A lieutenant serving in a regiment of lancers was systematically persecuted by a captain, who was an incorrigible , bully: Ono day the captain lost his temper at din-f ner. and cuffed the lieutenant's ears. ' Army etiquette required a challenge from the insulted officer. The lieutenant had been under fire in battle and was not a coward, but he would not consent to s?nd a challenge. His friends expostulated with him in vain. They could not remove his conscientious scruples against dueling. His refusal caused a scandal which touched the honor of the officers of his regiment. His colonel finally asked him to choose between lighting the duel and resigning his commission. He sent the challenge and named the conditions. The antagonists were to choose pistols by lot, one firing loaded and the other not, and were to lire over a handkerchief. The duel was fought at dawn. The men stood fiice to face, holding a handkerchief with their left hands. The bullying captain snapped the trigger of hi3 pistol. There was no sound. The empty weapon had fallen to him by lot. , The seconds thought that the insulted lieutenant, being opposed to dueling, would tiro in the air. Instead of this he almod his pistol remorselessly at the captain and killed him. Then dipping his hands in his victim's blood and turning to those who had forced him to fight the duel, he shouted: "Is it enough? Is honor now safe?" Returning to the oh'icers quarters, he resigned his commission in the army. Isot long afi'.rward he disappeared from the world, and entered a monastery to rpend the remainder of his life as a religious roclus?. This duel produced a marked impression upoa the otneers of the French army. It vras a warning a?;ainst butlyism in the treatment of subordinates. The suicide in front of the Vienna barracks t?ache3 the same moral with equal impressiveness. How "Women Piny Wlilii. Correspondent Toronto Saturday Night. Did you ever watch women alone at whist and note the laterest taken? I visited at a suburban hotel in Chicago, and one evening after being for a stroll my friend and I walk ?d Into the parlor, where four ladles, two widows and two young girls, were enjoying a game of whist. Sitting on a lounge at some little distance we watched the game and occasionally chimed in with our opinion on subjects brought up with card3 laid down. Finally the conversation tarred to cooking, and soon there was a very spirited debate on the way to boil potatoes. The English widow declared that the only way her father would eat potatoes was when put on a quick fire in cold water, which made them white and mealy, and asking: what card led played her hand. The elder, an American widow, laid down her card and stated very positively that there was only one correct way, and that was to put them in boiling water. As one of the girls ask?d what was trumps the English widow said she would never do them any way but the way she learned at home. When the girl took the trick she only liked the potatoes boiled with the Jackets on. Then the younger girl dealt a new hand, remarking that there could be no difference

In toiling anything so ordinary as potatoes. And what did it matter now uiey weiu boil ad as long as they got soft? Which brought out such a storm of indignation from the others, myself and friend included, each giving her opinion over again, all at the same time, and trying to make herself heard above the others, that the poor girl trumped her partner's ace, causing a reprimand from that partner, which was only interrupted by a roar of laughter from some gentlemen standing in the hall, who came in and gave their opinion on whist. m m THE COLUMBUS CARAVELS. A "Wlhte Elephant AVIilcli Spain Was Glad to Get IUd Of. Chicago Letter. From what one can hear the Spaniards who have had anything to do with the Columbus caravels and the presentation of the Santa Maria to the United States are in a devoutly thankful mood since these little white elephants were formally taken off their hands. As already known, the Spanish government, in building the Santa Maria, thought a fac-slmile of Columbus's flagship would be a most appropriate present to this country ujxrn the anniversary of hf.r discovery. This reproduction was the more easy, as in the cathedral of Burgos were bas-reliefs of the Santa Maria made the same year that Columbus sailed. and also as in Cadiz there are still in use vessels which seem to be direct desce'iants of those of the fifteenth century. When Spain's intention was known, some one here made the suggestion that the whole ileet should be sent to America, and eventually Mr. McCarthy Little went to Spain to arrange for reproductions of the Nina and Pinta. On going to Cadiz he found their construction would cost SS0.000. but was afterwards able to have them built in Barcelona for $28,000. They were not well constructed and had to be towed, while ths Santa Maria was able to make the crossing under canvas. Commander Concas, a distinguished officer of the Spanish navy, who brought her over, expected to b3 relieved of his charge on arriving at Hampton Roads, but It was subsequently decided that the formal transfer should take place in New York. The caravels waited there till the idea was put forward of sending them to Chicago; then the question arose, which government should tow the fleet up the lak?s, and each had an economical turn and wished the other to do it, though finally the United States did fo, and saw them safely moored in the exposition grounds. It was only about a weok ago, after an infinity of reel. tape, that our government at length formally accepted the present the Spaniards had become so anxious to bestow. Strong Prniso of the Fair. New York Evening Post. . We c mnot too strongly urge upon everybody who has not yet sone the duty of oing to Chicaco some time betwee n now and the end of the month. We say duty, because it is really a moral obligation that evtrvone should enjov this extraodinary display of beauty who can possibly spare the time and raise the money. To miss it is to miss out of one's" life something that can never be replaced. There will be othT world's fairs in the future, and they will have their special features; but many people who can go to Chicago this month will never be able to attend such another exposition, and no other can possess the unique charms of this one. The remarkable success with which a truly ideal conception has been worked oat on Jackson Vark grows upon every observer day by day, and has impressed the country more and more each month since the opening. It is difficult to avoid language which seems extravagant in describing 'it, and the highest encomium which it receives is the fact that people who have read the warmest praise of its features find that they are not disappointed when thev view the scene. We do not believe that the modern world has produced a great spectacle which so fully satisfied tho highest anticipations of beholders. On General Sherman. Pittsburg Dinmtch. I heard a rather good story on General Sherman the olher day. It occurred away back in while he was on the Pacific coast with the title of captain. For some reason or other his men took a violent dislike to him, and ufter standing it as long as they thought they could they prepared a petition requesting hlni to resign. The paper contained the signatures of nil but five of his company, and was handed to him by a committee of three. When It was presented Captain Sherman glanced over it and said: "Has every man slerned this? "All but five." replied the spokesman. All but five?" "Yes. sir." "Then you will, kindly convey my thank to those five and say that I have decided to remain with them." IT'S RATHER TOO MUCH FOR YOU tho ordinary, bulky pill.
