AGAINST "BLACKLEGS" Demonstration by 300 Striking Miners at Brazil. Eeport from Cleveland that the Big: Coal Strike Will Bo Settled Next Week Brotherhood Affairs. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BRAZIL, Ind., May 8. One of the most exciting 6cenes during the strike occurred here about 4 o'clock this afternoon, when two hundred miners, headed by a brass band, marched through Main street en route to Nellie mine, owned by the Otter Creek Coal Company, where It was reported that Harry, Vern and Claud James, three stalwart and determined brothers, were at work. By the time the strikers reached the mine their number was augmented to over three hundred. In close pursuit followed Chief of Police Louderback and a relay of officers. "When the mine was reached a cool-headed miner mounted a stump and appealed to his colleagues to show no demonstrations of violence, but to plead kindly with the workmen, who were termed "blacklegs." It was understood among the strikers that the James boys were thoroughly armed, and many of the miners carried heavy canes. The mine Is located Just a short distance south-east of town, and the cheering, playing of music and general demonstration brought a large crowd of citizens to the scene. To prevent trouble several officers went to the bottom of the shaft and accompanied the boys to the top, where they were greeted by a committee of miners and asked to quit work. They. boldly refused, saying they needed employment and would not starve for the sake of any one when they could secure work. This creatly incensed the crowd and it looked for a while like a general melee would occur, but the presence of the blue coats and their admonitions to keep cool prevented trouble. The meeting Immediately adjourned and the Immense crowd of miners filed in twos, headed by the bond, and kept closely at the heels of the James boys, thus following them around through the streets, causing no end of excitement. The miners are thoroughly organized and they are determined. They declare they will use means to force the James boys out and serious trouble Is anticipated. Even here in the midst of the block coal belt coal is becoming scarce, and much fear is expressed that there will be a fuel ranlc. The miners numbering over eight hundred met in this city last nlghf. and were addressed by Secretary Kennedy, who greatly complimented them for uniting with th? United Mine Workers' Association, and assured them that their victory was a certainty. Dentil So Those Who Work. CONNKLLSVILLE.

SANG THEIR PRAISES

Letter That Tells Why Taylor Was Made Recorder of Deeds. , He Landed Cleveland, Voorliees and Carlisle Confirmation of the Colored ilan Opposed McDonald's Mission. WASHINGTON. May 8. The Senate discussed the nomination of C. H. J. Taylor, the Kansas colored man, to be recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, for an hour, while In executive session to-day, and adjourned without taking any action. Senator Proctor made the principal of several speeches in opposition to confirmation and Senator Martin the only speech made in support of confirmation. He contended that as appointments had gone for many terras to negroes and nonresidents, the arguments against Taylor on these grounds were without foundation. The opposition made to confirmation in executive session to-day was based entirely upon nonresidence and the argument was for home rule in the district. During the session a circular was shown on the floor dated Oct. 15, last, signed by Taylor as the president of the Negro National Democratic League, which created some merriment. In this he speaks of President Cleveland as "giant reformer of the age," and praises Secretary Carlisle and Senator Voorhees in extravagant language for the part they took in the repeal of the Sherman la,v, and tells how Mr. Carlisle "obviated the ruinous issue of bonds pending the dilatory action of the Senate upon the silver bill." M'DOXALD'S 3HSSIOX. The Senator Seeking Another Tblnir Besides Hitler's Pardon. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. May 8. - State Senator McDonald called on President Cleveland to present telegrams from Governor Matthews and other State officials In behalf of Mr. Bitter, the defaulting cashier of the Evansvllle National Bank, but there Is no reason to believe that Rltter will be pardoned. In the afternoon Mr. McDonald was at the Treasury with Senator Turpie and Representative Taylor to see Mr. Carlisle, and they failed to see the Secretary. There is a growing belief that Mr. McDonald's efforts In Mr. Bitter's behalf are merely a blind to cover the real purpose of his protracted stay in Washington. As a matter of fact, Mr. McDonald Is endeavoring to dissuade Bepresentatlve McNagny from his present purpose of selecting the poptmaster at Llgonler by an election. Mr. McDonald pretends to have no especial candidate of his own. Mr. McNagny remains firm In his purpose to let the patrons of the Llgonler office select their own postmaster after Mr. BLssell's refusal to appoint the man whom Mr. McNagny had recommended. STRIKING AT AX EVIL. Dili to Reform the Rnllrrny Federal Receivership Business. WASHINGTON, May 8. Representative Terry, of Arkansas, who, with Representatives Boatner and W. A. Stone, have been investigating Judgej Jenkins's anti-strike Injunction, has prepared a bill designed to reform the practice by which federal courts are practically engaging In the railroad business through the appointment of receivers. Most of the subsidy roads of the West are in the hands of receivers appointed by federal courts. The courts thus secure absolute authority over railroads, and as the receiverships run from year to year the courts succeed the railroad officials in conducting the business of the road. Mr. Terry's bill will attempt to put a limit to these railroad receiverships In order to avoid the charge that the courts are going into the railroad business. It is said that not only is the time of the federal courts consumed and their functions diverted, brut many incidental abuses have sprung up. One of these is the practice of cutting off all current debts for supplies, repairs, labor, etc, In order that the receivers may pay all the Income of the road to the first mortgage bondholders. Thei latter usually apply for the appointment of i receivers, and when the latter are appoint-', ed they cut off all debts save those to the' bondholders. Judge Caldwell, of the United: States Circuit bench, has recognized this abuse, and In appointing a receiver for a railroad attached the condition that the receiver should pay debts due from the railroad for work, labor, materials, machinery, fixtures and supplies of every kind, including damages to persons or property which accrued after the execution of the mortgage under which the receiver was appointed. Mr. Terry's bill will seek to incorporate Judge Caldwell's ruling Into permanent statute law. NEW AXD OLD INVENTIONS. Patents Granted Indiana ApplicantsWeekly List of Expirations.

The bill for the erection of a Public Printing Office in Washington occupied the attention of the House during the greater part of the day, and came to a rather Ignominious ending. A number of amendments and substitutes were offered to the first section providing for the purchase of a site, but the only one which finally came out of the melee was a resolution of Mr. Holman to refer the question to a commission to consist of the committee on public buildings and grounds, with Instructions to select a site on ground now owned by the government. The naval appropriation bill was called up and briefly explained In some of Its parts by Mr. Cummlngs. but the House adjourned at 5:10 before he had concluded his remarks. 0pnMel to Hntelt'n Hill.

FOOTBALL RULES. Changes Made by Walter Camp's Intercollegiate Committer.NEW YORK, May 8. The rules committee appointed last November to make rules governing the playing of football met tonight in the University Athletic Club rooms and adopted a set that will hereafter govern "the game. Walter Camp, of Yale was chairman of the committee. Among the changes proposed by the committee and adopted by the University Club are the following: In Rule 1, Section E, a punt is made a kickout with the drop kick and place kick. In Rule 6 the words "without touching the dress or person or places after the kick" are omitted in regard to the obtaining of a goal. Rule 8 makes the use of a signal necessary by the man intending to make a fair catch before that counts as such. Rule 15 provides for the duties of the umpire, referee and lineman, making the umpire's decision in foul and unfair tactics final, often referring to both referee and. lineman if he so desires, and making the referee Judge of the position and progress of the bail. All coaching along the lines is prohibited, the lineman will keep time, is time-keeper under the direction of the referee. Only one official representative for each side shall be permitted on the field in case of accident tp a player. Rule 16 changes the playing time from forty-five minutes to thirty-five minutes for each half. Rule 18 provides for an" actual kick where rules call for It. Rule 23 is expanded to make the meaning more clear of the rule against obstructing players with the hands. The player of the side in possession of the ball can obstruct their opponents with the body only; the side which has not the ball can use the hands, as can also the player having the bair, that is. In breaking through the line. Delays limited to three minutes; penalties for fouls are Increased . from five to ten yards. The same rule defines fouls which shall be granted for unnecessary delay of the game, off side play or holding an opponent unless he has the ball. Rule 29 is altered to provide for the fifteen-yard penalty upon Interference with a fair catch. Rule 30 provides ajralnst deliberate piling up on a man when he Is down, a penalty of fifteen yards beincr nt. . tached to this unless the distance carries the tall across the goal, when half the intervening distance shall be allowed. A number of provisions are made lor the work of the snapper back. Momentum mass plays are prohibited and an alteration is made limiting the possible plays from a fair to touching the ball In and kicking It or walking in with it for a down. Rule 35 allows a man to kick a ball out only one chance Instead cf two, but provides for an exception designed to increase drop kicking, the last section of which reads: "Whenever a side has tried the drop kick at the goal at first down inside twenty-yard line, and the result has been a touchback. the line of kick out shall be the ten-yard line Instead of the twenty-flve-yard line In determining the position cf the opponents, and the kicker's side must be behind the ball when it is kicked."

The terrified passengers persuaded the police to mike no attempt to drive off the tramps and the train proceeded on its way with the unmolested hobos. CANADIAN OUTttAOK.

Train in Possession of General Sanders's Colorado Army. PUEBLO, Col., May 8. At 6:3) this evening a Rio Grande railroad engine was taking coal, the fireman being off the engine when It was suddenly surrounded by fifteen of tha men under General Sanders, who came In Saturday as a Coxey band. They took the engineer and ran the locomotive down to the Missouri Pacific yards, where were five or six coal cars that had been left there a short time before. The whole band boarded the cars, nnd attaching the Itlo Grande engine started for the East at a lively gait. Four miles out they met an engine which was coming In for the purpose of taking out t'.ie regular passenger train, as all roiling Ftock has baen kept out of town since the Cripple Creekers arrived. -The engineer reversed and Is keeping ahead of the Industrials. The latter stopped their train at Boone and took coal and water. Tne engines parsed Nespesta going fifty miles an "hour. The superintendent has an engine and car overturned In a cut at Olney, so th3 runaways can get no further than- that point, and they may have a collision. A train will start from Pueblo at 10 o'clock with deputy marshals and thirty officers to overtake the band. The seizure prevented the movement of United States malls. Ilrapect for n nl Fighter. Philadelphia Inquirer. In the comments of the American press upon the death of the late Frank llatton the most noticeable thing is the warmth of the tributes pala to the old partisanship of the dead editor and politician. These tributes come- from the pros of both partics, and none of them are warmer than those from Democrats whom he one fought with all the Intensity of his anient nature. Unthinking persons," following an old custom, are Inclined to accept this as an evidence of the insincerity of the pre, but It Is nothing of the kind. Men of brains always respect those who believe something and who have the courage to ftand up for what they bvlleve. The iu-.tion of who believes It 13 a secondary one. i:ilt-FIv !I11-m Mil Hour.
