rested. In jme cases of minor Importance j liutlea were fixed as the argument went on. but In a larpe majority of cases decision was reserved for private consultation by the members of the committee. A large lhare of the day was sri.vn to a discussion Cf the Income tlx and the changes made by the commlttc-e from specific to ad valorem duties. Or. the?e features Senator Hill repeated and amplified the arguments made In opposition In the caucis. Tha committee say that they have pot the constitutional rlsht to divide a bill which has originated in the House of Representatives, and they contend that the ad valorem system Is In accordance with Democratic policy and that the duty can be collected under this system as well as under the specific duty If competent officials are chosen. TIIK PEXALTV OF C.HEATN'ESS. Senator Drlce IlelKed Daily hy CrontU tf People. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. March 2. Senator Drlce, of Ohio, la Just now sought by more persons than any other man In Washington. President of two or three great railroads and always having a volume of prlvata business, and belns chairman of the Senate committee on Pacific railroads, which has Just entered upon a plan to refund the indebtedness and reorganize the Pacific railroad systsms, his leadership of the "conservatives on the Democratic side of the chamber In the preparation of the tariff till has added largely to his enormous duties. It is more difficult to "get a word" with the Junior Senator from Ohio than it Is with President Cleveland. It Is amusing and instructive to follow Senator Urice's movements during the day. When he arises in th morning he finds a little army of callera awaiting him at his residence. They comprise office-seekers and politicians from Ohio, railroad men and capitalists from a dozen States, and men who want to givo him points on or question him respecting his fight for amendments in the Wilson tariff till. Senator Brlce Is courteous, but he cannot afford to waste any words these busy days, and he disposes of an army of callers in double-quick time. Early he goes to the Capitol to attend a caucus, conference or meeting of his committee.. He finds at his committee room a second regiment of men and women who want to see him on all kind3 of business. When he j emerges from the room where he la attending to his public duties he Is encountered with another crowd, miscellaneous in character and wants, and hailing from almost every part of the country. Every day when the Democratic conference or caucus adjourned. Senator Hrica found standing Immediately outside the marble room of the Senate from ten to thirty men who wanted to see him. As rapidly as he was pulled this way and conversed with in whispers by one man he was hauled that and the other way by other men. He would gravitate some distance in one direction with the crowd, and then slowly move off In another direction. He never completed the rounds of those who had business with him, but finally dodged Into the Senate or out into some committee room, where he disappeared. When a Senator can get on the iioor of the Ssnate during the morning hour, which 13 between 12 and 2 o'clock, he is safe from the importunities of the mob. Under the rules of the Senate tha doorkeepers and pages are not permitted to take a card in to a Senator during the morning hour unless by special Instruction. As soon as the Senate adjourned each day during the past week then? was found at almost every door leading to the chamber a crowd waiting to see the Ohloan. Then has come the tug of war. Those whom the Senator could not s?e in person and whom his private secretary, Mr. Gilliland. could not attend to with his versatile knowledge of the Senator's affairs, followed the Ohloan to his residence, and there th? seance has been kept up until the late hours of the night. These rounds have continued dally for more than a week now. and as th fight on the tariff bill progresses the situa tion ror benator urice continues to grow more irksome. CAItXEfilE MULCTED. Forced to Pny l?HO,4S4 for IrrrgnInrltles In Making Armor Pinto. WASHINGTON. March 2. For some time past It has been known that the Carnegie Steel Compans'. which has "been supplying a large part of the steel plate used for naval armor, had been In trouble with the Navy Department respecting certain irregularities In the quality of plate 'supplied for the armor of the new battle ships and the monitors. The exact nature of these Irregularities were not generally known until to-day, when Secretary Herbert made the following statement touching the subject: "Early In September last, the Navy Deportment ascertained that Illegal practices were bdng resorted to by some of the employes of the Carnegie Steel Company, at Pittsburg, in the manufacture of armor for the government and that these irregularities had beea continued for some time. A thorough Investigation . was set on foot nt once. It was ascertained that while all the armor manufactured for the government was kooU all excelling the lowest limit of tolerance In the specifications i'et that portions were not up to the highest possible mark of excellence, which, by their contract, the company was bound to attain. After some time spent In negotiations, the Carnegie Steel Company appealed from the Secretary of the Navy to the President, who. on Jan. 1). assessed the damages against the company at 51tO.4S4.94. and the company, Jan. 17, ls3l, settled with the department. There was no" evidence showing or even tending to show, that any of the officers above those immediately superintending the tempering and heating were at all cognizant of these irrejrularities. but 83 the company was responsible for the nct3 of Its employes, damages to that extent were assesst-d against the company and the contracts continued. The department has taken such precautions at this and all other points where contract work is helnrr done for the government that It Is blltved to be impossible fo any irregularities u occur !n the future without immediate detection." Lep:iIntlnn tor Soldiers' Homes. WASHINGTON. March 2. Representative Black, of Illinois, cn? of the board of managers of the national soldiers homes, eecured favorable action, to-day. In the House committee on military affairs on two of hl3 bills affecting the homes. One of the bills allows the surgecn3 and medical officers of the homes to be chosen from other than tho;v who have been disabled in the military service. At present the home d-ix'tors are limited to veterans, and the latter are either too feeble or too Independent of that clasj of service to fclve the homes the class of medical science they require. The other Mil permits Inmates of the homes to have their quarters chan;n-d in cas buildings art1 made uninhabitable by tire, pestilence cr otherwise. Ilecent fires in the homes at Marlon, lnd.. an ! at Santa Monica. Cal.. have railed attention to the nt-td of a discretionary authority to shift quarters without surrendering appropriations.

Situation tit the West Virginia Mines Still Serious. More Troops Called Out and Sent to the Disturbed District to Protect Life and Property, CHARLESTON, W. Va., March 2. After the meeting of eight hundred strikers at Montgomery Hollow last night, the Governor did not withdraw the troops from Wyant's fortifications at Eagle mines, and It is not likely now that the troops will leave for some time. Colonel Hodges, commanding the Second Regiment, and Major Banks, commanding a battalion of three companies, have declared martial law and settled down for a siege. Sheriff Hlnman called for more troops to-day when the strikers moved around Powellton, which Is Ave miles from Eagle mines, and off the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad up Armstrong creek. The Powellton miners are working at the reduction, and all the strikers want there Is for them to come out. The Governor and staff have been in consultation aliday and to-night. Three hundred men are reported to have come over from New River, and there are fears of others Joining the strikers. At 9 o'clock to-night everything is quiet at Eagle. The Governor Is In close telegraphic communication with the military, and nothing has been received relative to any difficulty. He received a telegram at 7:20 o'clock from the sheriff of Fayette county, at Powellton, stating that he was guarding the property there with a posse of men. and that while there had as yet been no attack made by the strikers from Montgomery, he believed the report that they were advancing In both directions to attack from front and rear was correct, and asked the Governor for military protection. The Governor wired him to keep him fully Informed as to the situation there, and that if he felt assured from any developments that might appear that he was unable to protect life ami property he would order more troops to the scene. As to the situation at Powellton It Is impossible to state with accuracy. The Powellton men are working, and the Montgomery men have been heard to say that they would drive them out. It is not likely, however, that there will be serious trouble, as the men are not IncenstM there against the proprietors of the Powellton nines, as they are against Wyant, the operator at Easrle. The situation at Eagle is undoubtedly very threatening. One of the most prominent citizens of the city who has been there for two days returned here to-night, and in conversation with a reporter said: "On the surface everything iJ quiet at Eagle, but in the opinion of those best acquainted with the situation, trouble would result within twenty-four hours I ' the troop 3 were withdrawn. There is very bitter feeling against Wyant, and a dozen miners with whom I talked to-day said that while troops were there no demonstration would be made, but when the military were gone Wyant would be 'fired.' These were sober, conservative men. and -hey meant all they said. I am assured uis Governor said tonight that Tie would not withdraw the troops till the coroner' Jury, summoned to investigate the death of Adkins, the member of the josse who died this morning from the wound iecclved In Tuesday's fight, had finished Its sitting. The Jury will begin Its work to-morrow, and the prosecuting attorney. C. D. Dillon, has received orders frcm the Governor to make every effort to tind the guilty parties. I learned to-night that there were two detectives In the mas3 meeting held Tuesday Just before the attack was made, and that they have the narne3 of the ringleaders as well as eighty-three others who took prominent parts in planning the attack. It is proposed t; have the Judge of the Circuit Court, now in session at Fayetteville, Issue bench warrants for these men and Jail them at once. A sraclal grand Jury will be summoned and if Indictments are returned against them, a special term of th Criminal Court will be called to try the men indicted. The Governor says all this can be done in a short while, and that it looks now as if it were the only way of settling the trouble. He believes that the summary trial and conviction of the rioters would end the trouble. He will not recall tea troops until the ringl3aders are arrejted. Perhaps net until their trial."

WIDE APART AS EVER

Bituminous Miners Refuse to Give In One Jot to Operators. Tension Airent Spencer Fixing His Fort Way lie Friends Delicate Snrffical Operation in Columbus. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind.. March 2. The State convention of bituminous miners adjourned sine die to-day without taking further action regarding the proposition to reduce the mining scale from 70 cents a ton. This leaves In force the contract which expires May 1. An operato said that "both the operators and miners had got it in the neck" by to-day's action. The operators hold that a 20-cent reduction has been generally obtained in Ohio, and that In ten days or two weeks the Indiana miners will find that their product has lost Its place in the market, with the consequent effect that there will be less work in the Indiana mines. No one ventures a prediction whether or not this will result In another convention or conference with the operators. National Vice President Penna, of the United Mine Workers, says there would have been an offer of a reduction, perhaps 10 cents, had not the operators declared that nothing less than 20 cents would suffice. The State executive committee recommended such an offer and the leaders In the organization tried to bring it about, but the delegates were too headstrong for the leaders this time. It was expected that something would be done this morning to reopen negotiations, but the convention was not to Ik? influenced in that direction. In one of the conferences with the operators the latter were asked if they would consider the yearly scale for next year at this time and they declined to do so. There are between 4.U00 and o.O") bituminous miners In the State. They are not getting more than two day3 work a week now, but that is faring better than do the 2.000 block coal miners In Clay county, where the distress Is more serious than has been made public outside of the mining territory. The conventl" a to-day re-elected President Dunkerly and Secretary Kennedy for the enduing year. The members of the executive board are T. C5. Morgan, of Linton: John GrafHths, of Puger: Daniel I Jewell vn, of Clinton, and I. N. Cassady, of Cannellburg. JOIJS FOR HIS FRIENDS. Pension Agent Spencer Select Injr. Ill Help from Fort "Wayne.

It had adhered to everything near it, and it became necessary to sever the exterior Jugular vein to remove it. This difllcult work was dono with the loss of but little blood, and the little sufferer survived the operation and is as bright to-night as any child of lt3 ace could be" under the circumstances, talking freely.

3 i4 ream of n 3 NEW HOME FOR SAINTS Utah Mormons Secure 3,000,000 Acres of Laml in Mexico. Colonization Scheme on a Vast Scale Thousands to Remove from Salt Lake City Polygamy to Be Barred. CHIHUAHUA, Mexico. March 2.A great Mormon colonization scheme Is now practically perfected in northern Mexico, 'which, In size and Importance, rivals the first migration of the saints to Utah. A contract Is drawn up for the purchase by the church of 3.000,000 acres of land and the settlement on the Immense tract of 20,00) Mormon colonists. A commission of prominent Mormons 13 now on the ground for the purpose of closing the deal, the members of the commission belns A. F. McDonald, George Teasdale. Brlgham Youns and Henry Eyer1ns. of Salt Lake City, U. T. The move Is the culmination of a plan long brewing by which the Mormons are to remove In large numbers from their gentile-invaded territory around Salt Lake and make a new start for themselves and their religion in Mexico. Salt Lake City will probably always be the great center of Mormonism In America, but the most populous center will In a few years doubtless be the State of Chihuahua. The land on which the eyes of the Mormons are now fixed as their future abiding place Is known as the Degollado territory in northern Chihuahua, about 120 miles south of the New Mexico line of the United i States boundary. It Is now owned by the Garcia family, of the City of Mexico, and 13 one of the largest and finest land grants held In the Republic of Mexico. The grant covers 4,576 square jnlles, commonly known as the Palomes lands, and embraces the municipal districts of Bravos, Chihuahua, Guerrero. Allande and OJlnosa. The land is part of the highlands of northern Chihuahua and lies at an elevation of 7,000 feet above the level of the sea. The country Is volcanic In its nature and shows in its soil and surroundings many evidences of the fierce vulcan furies which have made the topography of a large portion of the mountainous Darts of Mexico. But the work of the elements through many J long centuries since the eruptions ceased have softened the austerites of the face of nature and now there are to be seen beautiful parks, upland plains and fertile river valleys. The natural vegetable growth is very rich, and over the immense stretch roam thousands of cattle and horses from the neighboring haciendas, while feeding on che heavy grass are many deer, antelope and other game. In the mountains are bear and other denizens of the forest primeval, given homes by the heavy growths of timber which have found root and great size In the deep soil. There are, hy careful estimate, fully 20,000.000 large fir and pine trees on the tract enly awaiting for the establishment of raw mills and transportation to t3 placed on the market at good prices. The Mormons will probably furnish the future timber supply of the country when the new colonies are located. The district of Degollado is to the north of the rich mining districts of the Sierra Madres and near the silver minea of IMnos Altos and Jesus Maria. It is less than a hundred miles to the west of the line of the Mexican Central railroad and the surveys of the new line from Deming, X. M., to the port of Uuaymas on the west coast of Mexico touches the tract. It will be remembered that the Younsra and other leading Salt Lake City capitalists obtained a concession from the Mexican government for the construction of the road from Deming to Guaymas, but after completing nearly one hundred miles of grade abandoned the work. This concession was lately taken up by General Mexla and Lancaster Jones, of the City of Mexico, and tiev are now preparing to put it through. The developments which havs now disclosed the plans of the Mormons throw a new light on the matter of these parties having prcmptly taken in ths old concession, and show It to be a most valuable possession. It will not only tap the immei'se lumber regions of northern Mexico, but will open up a through route Into the United States to th? north and to the Pacific coast on the west for the products of the colonies and mining camps. The survey passes through th. present Mormon colonies of Juarez. Porflrio Diaz. Pa'.heco and Doblan. in northern Chihuahua, nar the New Mexico border. The subject of Mormon colonization 13 not an unknown quantity in Mexico, as the alove named colonics have been established for nine years and are among the most successful social outgrowths of the church. They number 2.&)j members and are very prosperous. The colonists have reclaimed the wilds, and to-day have large farms under perfect cultivation, with orchards, ilourlng mills, cheese factories, wood en ware factories and other industries in successful operation. The cheese produced is told at fancy prices in the City of Mexico, and the butter of the Mormon.? la the linest in .the market, as can ilso lx? said of thi canned fruit, condensed milk and other products of the farms and factories finding; their way to market In iare quantities. Many tons of these goods are sol i in the City of Mexico and elsewherj each year. So high In quality an? the Mormon schools and churches that the native Mexicans have preferred these to their own, and by special permission their children are allowed to attend the colony schools. The Mexican government is so well rlcased with the experience of Mormon colonists, as f-hown in the colonies already established, that It has granted vary liberal concessions for the location of the new colonies now under arrangement, and whose lands will adjoin the present possessions of the Mormons. An annual subvention of $40 will be given each colonist brought in, this subvention to continue for five years, ajid amounting to $200 to each person located on the Garcia lands. This subvention i'j not to be paid In cash, but will be made up to the settlers by remission of duties on imports made for the use of the colonies. But the concession provides for the payment in cash or its equivalent of a subvention of X to each colonist veritably settled on the lands covered by this concession. Several colonies will bo located, the names of two of the-e having been already decided upon. On.: will be named in honor of the Garcia family and another after Senor Fernandez Lsal, the Mexican Minister of Public Works. The Inspection of the lands now going on Is the final one and It is the third to be made. It is expected that on the receipt of this report the company, operating under direction of the church, will order the deal completed, which will probably be don; in the City of Mexico. The church is represent e-d by Messrs. McDonald, Teasdale, Youn.u and Fyerinj, and Oarcla interests by Dr. W. Jones, who Is now In the City of Mexico. As intimated, th bull: of the new colonists will comf from Utah, where negotiations for the sale of large blocks of their land are now being quietly made. Many of the estates of the Mormons in the North are immensely valuable, and the old owners will retire from th scer.es of the-!r Utah activities with la.n;? fortunes. It is not announced just what Is thf price to b. pail for the Garcia lanJs. but it is generally understood that by taking the entire O.-o acres the rrt rT r.cr? will 1? under rather than above 5i cents in American money. When It is considered that over three hundred snuar? mile; cf the tract is already In condition for the plow, and that 1,122 square miles more are firstclass ranching lands, it will t? seen that the thrifty Mormons will not find their lot in hard places after all on reaching the nd of their pilzrimago to U new home.

When questioned as to the political significance of this new move of Mormonism. a prominent member of the church assured 3'our correspondent that It had none in particular. "No; polygamy wdll not be established by our people again after leaving1 the United States," he said. In answer to a question to that effect. "We can sell our lands in Utah at a large profit and do well by buying these lands. That Is the reason and the only reason that I am aware of for making the change. We come to Mexico as offering a larger field for us and our religion and will abide by the laws of the land." The new settlement In a short time Is expected to number GO.Ouo to 100.0W people. CRUELTY TO INSANE. Patients at Kankakee Alleged to Have Reen Treated Like Unites. CHICAGO, March 2. A sensational charge of brutal treatment of Insane patients at the Detention Hospital by the administration of last year was made In a report of the public service committee to the Board of County Commissioners today. Some weeks ago Mr. Gapen, superintendent of the Kankakee asylum, submitted a communication containing- reports of Drs. Meyer and Howe, his assistants, detailing examinations of insane patients received from the Chicago Detention Hospital showing that the system of handling patients at the hospital during a part at least of last year was "cruel and inhuman to a revolting degree." The matter was phoced in the hands of a committee. According to Chairman Allen tne committee found "a terrible state of affairs." In the report they say they are satisfied that during at least a part, if not all of 1803, the affairs at the Detention Hospital "were conducted in a shamefully disgraceful manner. We lind that some of the offending parties ar not now employed, and we trust that others who were Identified by the witnesses as participators In the abuse will be no longer retained." Attached to the reiort are statements from the Kankakee doctors as to the condition of some of the patients reaching" there from the Chicago Detention Hospital. Some of the case are sickening. CHICAGO'S SMALLPOX. Health Officers Say the Extent of the Scourge Has Been Exaggerated. CHICAGO, March 2. Owing to a fear that smallpox might be spread throughout the States near Illinois by means of people passing through Chicago a meeting of representatives of boards of health of several States was held here to-night for the purpose of ascertaining in what degree the disease prevailed here, nnd also what precautions have been taken to prevent its spread. Those present were Dr. Probst, of Onio: Drs. Metcalf, Whiteside and Taylor, of Indiana: Drs. Quinn, Scott and Vincent, of the Illinois State Hoapl of Health; Dr. Hamilton, of the Marine Hof&ImI Service, and Drs. Ware and Montgomery, of Chicago. Dr. Ileynjlds. Commissioner of Health, made a full statement. The result is that the visitors have arrived at the conclusion that the reports of the p-e valence and spread ',f the disease have lnen greatly exaggerated, and that ample precaution is being tak-n to prevent the scourge from spreading in the city jnd to other localities. .mv York Shooters Won Anln.
