trill. The agreement for the co ns id t ration of the seigniorage bill docs not preclude the routine work of the Senate, which Is coitfined. to the time before 2 o'clock In the day, and it Is probable that many of the bills on, the caJendar upon which r.o division of sentiment is probable will be taken up anl passed during this time, and also aftr the seigniorage Llll is disposed of on Thursday, and the remaining days of the week, if the S:nate should not adjourn over. There are no announced Epoeches on the seicniorage bill. It is probable that there will be very little talk on the part of the friends of the bill. a3 they tel con.'idnt of its passage. Appropriation bills will continue to have the rlht of way in the House this week. The suadry civil Mil, which will b? the unfinished business when the House meets to-morrow, carries ;J2,3ij6,S2 .4y.92S less than that of last year. It will probably require four days to dispose of this bill, the- two ltoms that will provoke the most opposition being the appropriations for the geological and the coast and geodetic survey. After the sundry civil bill is di.ipof 1 of either the military or consular and diplomatic appropriation bill will consume the balance of the wtrk. The members of the elections committee are very anx!ou3 to interrupt the consideration of the appropriation bills with the contested elections cases, but the managers believe that the Republicans will demand a quorum of Democrats to unseat a Republican, and, as many members are out of the city, this might block progress in the House for a week. It has been deemed best, therefore, to push the appropriation bills upon which there Is no political division brought Bs rapidly as possible and allow the struggle over parti son matters to trail alonsr afterwards.

DIUVH AT 91 CXI) CXI I ALL. Attempt in LeKlslnte the IVoted Hoonler Out of Ofllce. WASHINGTON". March 11. A most important proposition for a change in governmental method. will be presented to the House of Representatives early in the week. It contemplates the abolition of the coast and geodetic surveys. It is proposed to absorb the coast survey by the Navy Department. It further contemplates the termination of the geodetic survey with its extensive bureau under the direction of Superintendent Mendenhall and the absorption of this bureau by the Interior Department, liepresentative Enloe will submit the proposed changes as amendments to the sundry civil appropriation bill, whjch i3 to be taken up on Monday. Chairman Sayers, of the committee, does not think the chanffes will be made, as he thinks they should not complicate an appropriation bill, it is understood that Mr. Enloe's purpose is to make the geodetic branch of the present bureau an adjunct of the geological survey. The latter is a bureau of the Interior Department. The coast and geodetic survey has an extensive bureau at Washington, besides field parties and coast survey boats throughout the country. The ofnee forc receives $143,000 annually and those in the field S119.WD. Discredited by Thurston, WASHINGTON, March 11. Minister Thurston, when seen to-night concerning the reported startling situation on the Hawaiian islands, said that he had not received advices from hl3 government concerning the present state of affairs, and had gained information of them only through the newspapers. He "was Inclined to think the reports exaggerated, although It had been known for some time that the ex-Queen was peeking recruits In llritlsh Columbia. Mr. Thurston believes, however, that the provisional government has the administration of the government so well In hand that it has nothing to fear from the Queen's followers. The report that many now employed by the government would be In th Queen's forces at a signal from her Mr. Thurston does not credit.

SHIP'S CHEW IX PERIL. The Steamer IJrlscoe, rrlth C. Men Aboard. In u. Desperate Stnlt. ST. JOHNS, N. F., March ll.-The streamer Briscoe, which left Hamburg on Dec C, lies In a desperate strait sixty miles south of Cape Race. Late this afternoon a lifeboat containing five men arrived at the Cape Race signal station and brought news of the disabled and long overdue steamer. It contained Mate Mackay and four of the crew, all of them nearly exhausted from cold. According to their story they left the Briscoe last Friday afternoon, and after overcoming great obstacles they at last reached the signal station. On their long pull they had not a bite of food, and were thinly clad and suffered from the cold and exposure, all of them being In a frostbitten condition. Mate Mackay tells the following story relative to the men's experience and the Drlscoe's unfortunate voyage: "Leaving Hamburg on Dec 6, we encountered miserable weather, which so disabled the vessel that we were compelled to put into lueenstown, where we repaired, clearing 1 eb. 1. Again we encountered the worst of weather, and all our upper works were badly smashed and everything about the decks that would tioat was washed overboard: in fact, the bridge, deckhouse and everything except the forward mast and the tunnel succumbed to the founding' of the waves, which incessantly swept over the decks. Our bow was crushed in by the ice, but owin.sr to the compartments and bulkheads standing up, the vessel still managed to Huat. In addition to our vessel being thoroughly crippled and water logged forward, we ran out of coal. Then we were compelled to use everything that would Berve the purities of fuel to keep our fires going. On March 2 we were sighted by the British steamer Ulunda, from Halifax, for I3ndon. which tried to tow us to port, but the lines parting on the second day she was forced to abandon us after towing us 120 miles. Falling back upon resources again, we resorted again to the ship's timbers and wood for fuel, and in addition to this we now had to face starvation. Our supply of food, which was but sufficient for an ordinary voyage, was now almost completely exhausted. So severe had been our demands ui-on the woodwork for fuel that that too was nearly Kone. and we were reduced to the extremity of keeping but one burning In the gallery to prevent the men from freezing to death." The tug Ingrnham and the steamer Virginia l,ake, both carrying provisions to the famished crew, have started to t'.nd the disabled Briscoe and render ail assistance iK)s.nle. The Briscoe was due to arrive in New York Feb. 17. There were sixty-live men on board. Will I'rohably Fiht In London. IJALTIMOIin, March 11.

KILLED BY FARMERS

Robber Shot by Members of a Horse-Thief Association. Ordered to Halt and When He Showed Fight One of the Vigilantes Fired and Dropped Him. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FRANKFORT, Ind., March 11. John Rodgers, a worthless character of Mulberry, this county, was shot to death last night, at 11 o'clock, by a member of the Mulberry Horse-thief Association while resisting arrest on a charge of house-breaking. Yesterday morning, while Warren Thompson, with his family, was absent from home attending a funeral, a thief entered his residence, one and one-half miles south of Mulberry, and stole a few dollars In cash, a revolver and a quantity of flour. Thompson's suspicions at once rested on Rodgers as the thief, and he had reasons to believe that Rodgers had concealed hl3 plunder somewhere in the vicinity and would call for it last night. Ths detective association, of which farmer Thompson is a member, was called together, and it was decided to watch Rodgers's house. Accordingly, members to the number of a score concealed themselves at various points about Rodgers's house and awaited developments. They had not long to wait. At 11 o'clock two men burdened with tho stolen goods approached the Rodgers house. The captain of the thief catchers gave the command to halt and surrender, but instead one of the thieves dropped hi3 load and beat a retreat, while the other drew a revolver and showed fight. The next instant a shot was fired and John Rodgers lay dead by his plunder, bored through and through by a bullet from one of the vlgilants' rilles. Who fired the fatal shot is not as yet known, and the members of the association refuse at present to divulge hi3 name. The dead man was a member of a ganjr of thieves which has for several years robbed that community, and it wras for protection against these men that the farmers organized their detective association.

THE QUEEN'S SPEECH

What Victoria May Say in Opening: Parliament To-Day. Measures of Relief for Evicted Tenants in Ireland May I5e Promised Home Hule to lie Ignored. LONDON. March 12. The Dally News this morning declares that the Queen's speech opening the session of Parliament, which will be read to-day, will promise measures of relief for the evicted tenants in Ireland, local government for Scotland, disestablishment of the church in Wales, "one man, one vote," and conciliation in labor disputes. The paper adds that the speech will refer to the satisfactory conclusion of the Bering sea arbitration, and concludes by stating that the home-rule question and the question of mending the House of Lords will not be mentioned. The Times, commenting upon the opening of Parliament, says that the probable course of the debate on the address in reply to the Queen's speech will be that the Unionist leaders in both houses will press the government to make a definite statement of their intentions in regard to home rule. The Times further says that a rumor was current last night to the effect that the original draft of the Queen's speech contained a paragraph dealing with home rule, but that this was stricken out at the last moment. It is agreed In Cabinet circles that the budget will be the most important feature of the session, being of a comprehensive and contentious character. The Times adds that a petition will be presented to Prime Minister Hosebery praying that the- government, at the earliest legible moment, join the American government in dtstroyin? derelicts. This petition is signed by s30 captains employed in the transatlantic trade, commanding a tonnage of 2,XX,000, and representing property to the value of 20,000,000 pounds sterling.

The convention will be held at Denver June 26, and will continue several days. The date had been originally set for May, but the Denver people desired that it be postponed until the latter part of June in order that might conclude Its sessions about the 4th of July to allow the delegates to join In a monster celebration of the Nation's birthday. President Tracy and Secretary Humphrey have Just completed a poll of the National League committee which was favorable to the change. The ratio of representation will be six delegates at large from each State and Territory, and four from each congressional district and one from each college Republican club in the United States. The following are ex officio delegates: The president, secretary and treasurer of the National League, one vice president and one executive member of the national organization from each State, and the president and secretary of each State league, making four ex officio delegates from each State. This gives each State practically ten delegates at large, in addition to the four from each congressional district. The total representation will exceed two thousand delegates. The call reads, In part, as follows: "Dazzled by the glittering promises of Democracy, and led astray by sophistry and hypocrisy, the voters of the country, in 181)2, decided upon a change of national admfnistrations. Democratic control and sectional rule are again complete In the national government, and starvation for labor and ruin for capital prevail as a result of the policies and Influences that dominate the Democratic party. "The hallucinations of 1S92 are over. Facts have upset theories, and the people, weary of this tariff-tinkering, bond-issuing, debt-Increasing, treasury-depleting, businessparalyzing, wage-reducing, queen-restoring and un-American administration now turn instinctively to the party that saved the Nation in a previous hour of peril, and demonstrated masterly ability in giving the United States thirty years of prosperity unparalleled in the history of nations. "Again it becomes the mission and duty of the grand old party to meet a national emergency with the highest patriotism. The party deplores the necessity, but rises to the occasion. The struggle for liberty, progress, fair wages and all that America promises, did not end with the defeat of 1892. The fight must and will go on to this end: the national committee of the league cordially Invites all patriotic citizens: "Who believe that the humane, industrial and progressive American policy of the Republican party 13 best for the protection of 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness' for the American people; "Who believe in honest elections as the bulwark of their Institutions and the right of every voter to cast one vote and have it fairly counted; "Who believe In the dignity of labor and the faithful maintenance of the difference between American and European wages; "Who believe in the established policy of protection to American industry and to American workingmen, and in the Republican policy of reciprocity; "Who believe in the fullest protection of all property and all forms of Invested Interests, and yet who are opposed to corporation rule In tne government of either Nation or State; "Who gratefully remember the Union soldier In his hour of need, as well as in the day of his sacrifice and service; "Who believe in sound money and 'the use of both gold and silver as standard money, and that the purchasing and debtpaying power of the dollar, whether of sliver, gold or paper, shall be at all times equal,' as pledged in the national Republican platform at Minneapolis; "Who believe in practical civll-scrvlce reform, such as will separate the spoils idea from politics and yet preserve the people In control of all public offices and all public affairs; "Who believe in liberal and broad-minded policies, and In the assertion of American ideas in all American affairs; "And all who are in sympathy with the policies and aspirations of the Republican farty, arc cordially invited to join th eague clubs, and through such clubs and the State leagues participate in the election of delegates to the National League convention at Denver.' The league chooses to open the new contest with this convention, held on the slopes of the Rocky mountains, and invites the Republicans of the United States to assemble in this great undeveloped, resourceful Western country and renew their fealty to the party for the preservation of past achievements and organize for greater victories in the future, in response to the public demand for Republican protection, national prosperity and national administration distinctly American in policy." McKInley'a Movements. MASSILLON, O., March 1L Governor McKlnley to-day attended the funeral here of James McLaln, an old friend. He goes to Minneapolis March 20 to address the State convention of Republican clubs. "I haven't seen anything but the brief newspaper reports of the Senate tariff bill," said he, "but I should say that It demolished Mr. Wilson's theory very effectively. The transfer of articles from the free list of the Wilson bill to the dutiable list Is certainly striking." "Hut what of the usefulness of these changes from a practical standpoint?" "They strike me as an aggravation. They are too inconsequential. The committee has done fairly well by sugar. The process is expensive, however. It provides revenue. but directly out of the pockets of the consumers. The bounty plan affords the tame protection, and at a far less cost." Governor McKinley contemplates visiting the West during the next campaign. He has been urged to go to California and some of the new Western States, and may conclude to do so. The obstacle in the way is his fear lest some emergency might arise requiring his immediate preence at the capital. There is no provision In the Constitution of Ohio whereby the Governor may delegate his power to the Lieutenant Governor during his temporary absence from the State. Ilouk.

The methods resorted to by too many newspapers to increase their circulation are more lnteiestlng as a study of current hapEenlngs than defensible as a legitimate uslness undertaking. We have refrained from commenting upon them In the anticipation of a reaction setting In before this, but from the increasing number of opportunities offered us by a constantly Increasing number of circulation Tien. Is, and from the increasing number of Journals that have, through a misguided sense of their professional responslhilities, or through actual financial necessity, gone into "fake Journalism." it is evident that the reading anl advertising public phouM be put upon their jfiiard. We call the couion and picture gallery schemes "fake Journalism" because they have nothing to do with the objects and purposes of the newspaper business in any shape, manner or form, other than to give an artificial circulation to a journal that will not circulate profitably on iLs own merits.

Comlngor Co. 77a Sooth Illinois street, IndlimpolK offered as an Inducement to the public to buy a certain paper, or papers, simply because the less cumbersome "gifts" have not yet been exhausted. The purposes of Journalism are definitely limited, and no more concern the presentation, by coupon or otherwise, of things not the product of Its own environment than it concerns the federal or State governments to give every citizen who will vote on election day a cup of warm coffee or a Havana cigar to Induce him to discharge his oath of citizenship. A newspaper exists to publish the current news of the day, and to offer impersonal comments upon it. It Is unnecessary to define what news" Is In this connection. Generally speaking. It Is that which touches and Klves tangible form to the doings of mankind from day to day, whether the doings turn upon the relation of men's deeds to the general welfare of the community or to Its general demoralization. This includes acts of legislatures, public and private corporations, and so on until we reach the acts of the individual. What uoes not concern life, its development or Its contraction. Is not news. The range Is great, and includes the resignation of the Prime Minister of Great Britain and the condition of the potato crop as well, but Its range Is not so great that it Includes tne range of gift enterprise. The moment a newspaper departs, generally speaking, from this standard of conduct it ceases to be a legitimately conducted Journal, and unworthy of public support in exact proportion as it aepends upon coupon -.tests of iopularity, etc., to Increase Its sales rather than upon Its merits as an honorably conducted business. 'Take Journalism" is business done under fals pretense. We have on our desk before us a score of schemes to Increase our clrcuJatlon. Not one of them concerns the publication of a newspaper. Not one of them offers or.e more column of news to our readers nor increases the value of our advertising space a penny. Kach scheme, " employed, woull l a confession of weakness. One of the schemes Is a history of the United States, which is offered to us on easy terms, we to sell it to our reaaers at an increased price. It Is an Inducement to enter the book business. It involves the altomlnable coupon scheme, which is a humbug pure and simple from th newspaper point of view. Another scheme is "a sixteen-page booklet." to be dispose-1 of to cur readers "as a weekly supplement, or say print six coupons and charge ten cents fur t lie com plete book." The books would cost us six or seven cents and we would sell it for ten making a profit of three or four cents per copy, plus the profit on the fix pajers containing the six coupons. For erich sale of a book the profit would be almost as much as the original wholesale price of the book Itself. Thin is doin nevspaier business under false prernses. Hut it Is unnecessary to enumerate the ncore and odd schemes that have leen offered us "to Increase our circulation." each one of which is foreign to the reputable business of publishing a newspaper. That a reaction will sooner or later take place In this method of commending a newspa;r to the community In which it circulates, and that the newspaper that conducts Its business In the meantime along the legitimate lines of Journalism will stand higher in public esteem than ever. 1 as sure as "honesty Is the best tx.licy." And whiie It is the duty of a properly conducted newspaper to deal fairly and honorably with the puLllc. it is no less the duty of the public to support the newspaper so conducted. A Ylndlcut Ion.
