COOPER AND. HOLM AN

TWO INDIANA HUPUESKXTATIVES IlKMANDIXG JU:COGXITIOX. One Im Pushing III (ireonbacU 31 ensure and the Other 'iVnntM the House to Legislate ftr Indiau. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL "WASHINGTON, June 3. Representative Cooper is making: a determined effort to have a day set apart by the House for the consideration of his greenback bill. He la . circulating a paper among hl3 colleagues on the Democratic side asking the rules committee to designate one day of the time previously allotted the State bank tax repeal bill, when his bill shall be debated and voted on. lie has the assistance of all the Indiana Democrats except Mr. Holman, who Is unwilling that any business shall Intervene between the present business and the Indian appropriation bill. Mr. Holman has Just discovered that there Is a conspiracy among the Democrats In the House to humiliate him In the eyes of the country by postponing as late as possible consideration of his bill. He reported the Indian appropriation bill weeks ago, but it was successively side-tracked by the naval appropriation, the military, the sundry civil and the legislative, executive and Judicial bills, all reported long after Mr. Holman'B bill. After all those bills had been disposed of Mr. Holman had the right of way for his bill, but he "was again pushed aside for the bank tax repeal bill, which has now been before the House over a week, and may take up the time all this week. Mr. Holman is now determined that when the repeal bill is disposed of that he will make a fight on the floor of the House for his rights. TIIC TARIFF HILL.. Scheme to Postpone the Vote on the ., SuKiir Schedule. WASHINGTON, June 3,-The sugar schedule will again this week be "the central point around which the proceedings In the Senate will revolve. Among numerous Senators who were asked for their opinion as to when the debate on this schedule would cease, not one would attempt to fix a definite time. The discussion has already proceeded for three days, which is the utmost time that Democratic Senators would admit before the debate was begun would be necessary or allowed to It. Some think it will be possible to reach a verdict Monday or Tuesday, while others assert that there are contingencies which may postpone the disposition of the schedule until the latter part of the Week. Among other lines of policy which have been conversed among the opponents of the bill is that of allowing the sugar schedule to be accepted as amended by the committee on finance, without taking any, vote on the schedule In committee of the whole, the object being that the opponents of the bill shall not be forced to show their hands at this time, and especially, that they may refrain from exhibiting their supposed strength among Democratic and Populist Senators. Senator Harris adheres to hl3 determination to ask the Senate to prolong its daily sessions into the evening, beginning with to-morrow. Some of the Republican Senators have taken his notice to mean that he will ask the Senate to sit Monday until the sugar schedule shall : be disposed of, but conversation with him and with other Democratic Senators indicates that his purpose Is hardly so definite, but that the intention 19 to press as near to the goal as it may be possible to do. "We want," said Senator Jones, "to see that the Senate does a good day's work each day, and if it should be apparent that there has Teen no effort to secure delays for delay's sake, we should not probably ask for very extended hours, but if the proceedings should Indicate that the long speeches are to continue, we should probably ask the Senate ' to sit well int the night." The Republicans will probably resist the attempt to extend the sessions beyond 6 o'clock to the extent of at least demanding that a quorum be maintained, and some of them will 'decline to assist In making a quorum. The Democrats appreciate this dliSculty, and will maKe an effort to have as nearly a quorum of Democrats as possible on hand to meet this emergency. They have the pledges of more than fifty Senators, including most of the Populists and some Republicans, that they ' will remain to aid In making a quorum as long as may be required. . Senator Harris said to-day that when the night sessions were once more begun they would be continued until the bill should be finally disposed of. Meantime, they will maintain their efforts to get the Republicans to agree to fix a day for the final vote. IX THE HOUSE. Probable Caucus on the State Bank IU1I Cooper' 3IeiiMure. WASHINGTON, June 3. The outlook for the week In the House of Representatives Is so much in doubt that a Democratic caucus may be necessary, to agree on a plan of action. The State bank question has been debated until the leaders are anxious for a vote. But the debate . has shown the State bank men that they, are liable to be defeated by inability to agree on any one of the many plans discussed. As the State bank principle was. incorporated in the Democratic national platform, the leaders are loath to see the bill defeated, bo that a caucus to-morrow or next day may be called for the purpose of formulating a party measure which will command united support. It is rrobable that the llnal vote on the bill will be taken early in he week, unless the whole question is alt lowed to go over until a caucus committer? can frame a satisfactory bill. The rules committee is considering the advisability of giving one day to Rerresentatlve Cooper's bill for subjecting greenbacks and Sherman notes to State and local taxation. At present these forms of paper money are exempt from taxation. Chairman Holman. of the Indian committee, is prestir.g the Indian appropriation bill, and Its consideration will come immediately after the State bank debate, unless Mr. Cooper secures an Intervening day. The Indian bill will be warmly discussed, as there Is a disposition to question the wisdom of many of Mr. Holman's reductions. The debate is expected to last a week. 31 r. I.owrle Hell IIcmIkum. WASHINGTON, June 3.-Mr. Lowrte Bell, Second Assistant Postmaster-general, has resigned his oKlce to accept the position of general traffic manager of the Central railroad, of New Jersey, at a much higher salary. His formal letter of resignation was sent to Postmaster-general Listen last Thursday, and Is to take effect June 3), the close of the present fiscal year. Mr. Hell will take a short vacation and. on returning to Washington, will give some of his attention to the preparation of his an nual report. It can be stated with certainty that this action on Mr. Pell's part was entirely voluntary, and that his leaving the service is a matter of regret to his superiors in office. Mr. Bell entered the service as general superintendent of the mail service under Postmaster-general Wanamaker, and was subsequently promoted to be Second Assistant Postmaster-g-eneral. General IVote. WASHINGTON, June 3. Mr. Cramp states that the preliminary builders' trial of the triple-screw cruiser Minneapolis will tae place next Tuesday. The course will probably be about ten miles long off the five fathoms bank. INCOME TAX PROTESTS. Hew York Business Men's Association Flooded with Telegrams. NEW YORK, June 3.

Mrs. Gonffar Attacks Bliss Anthony In a Kansas Newspaper. KANSAS CITY, June 3.-There has been a fight in the woman suffragist camp for quite a while, and Helen M. Gouger and Susan B. Anthony are the most Interested contestants. The former has written a caustic letter to the Republic, a weekly published at Argentine, Kan., in which she says (Of Miss Anthony: "She has never succeeded in the adoption of a single suffrage law. She has met crushing defeat In every amendment to the State constitution which she has cham pioned. Her present unwise leadership in Kansas will lead to sore defeat unless the people of that State take matters Into their own hands. Either cause Miss Anthony or Mrs. Johns to remove the boycott on moral issues or let not a dollar or an effort 'go to make sure defeat more humiliating than otherwise, because manipulated by them under the whip of political and moral cowardice of the Republican party." In spite of this attack, the suffragist leaders are carrying on the campaign with viifi? GULPED BY A RIVER. T ho Village of Winthrop Swallowed by the Hnucrry Missouri. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., June 3. As a diw?ct result of the high water in the Missouri river, the once - prosperous village of Winthrop. thirty miles south of St. Joseph, will soon be wiped off the face of earth. The Missouri river this year began cutting the edge of the town, and to-day half of the place has melted into the river. The channel of the river is changing completely. The water is now wlthhi a few rods of the tracks of the Rock Island, the Hannibal & St. Joe, the Missouri Pacific and the Kansas City ro.nl?. and is rapidly eating its way into their rights of way. Great pecuniary damage is entailed. If the railroads are compelled to move it will necessitate abandoning the railway bridge eonrecting Winthrop and Atchison. Winthrop. which was a town of l,foa people, has already lost half Its population, and, as the houses cannot be sold. they are being torn down and carried Into th country.

EIGHT-HOUR SYSTEM J

HOW IT OPERATES IX ENGLISH MAXITACTtKlXG ESTAI1L.ISIIMCXTS. Employe Do More nml Better "Work Xotr lit ElKbt Houm Than They Did Formerly In Ten Hours. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL WASHINGTON, June 2. Tried by the tests of actual experience in some of the largest establishments In England, the eight-hour day seems to have demonstrated its practicability beyond all question. Re-, ports, almost enthusiastic in their tone, come from several English manufacturers who have put the eight-hour system in use in their manufactories during the past year. The State Department publishes to day the detailed reports made by four or five leading British manufacturers. All agree that the men working only eight houra a day at their old ten-hour schedule' of pay not only turn out as much product, but that there is a noticeable higher grade of workmanship and an actual reduction of cost of manufacture. Another Interesting result is that even the piece workers, who would naturally be supposed to be work-. ing to the utmost of their capacity, turn out as much work in eight hours as in ten. Following is a report of the trial of the eight-hour day and its working in. the Salford iron works, near Manchester. William Mather, a. member of Parliament, by the way, is he senior member, of the firm who makes the report: Mr. Mather states that his object in making known the results of a trial year in working- on the eight-hour sj-stem, unsolicited either by employes or trades unions, and at the firm's own risk, was to prove how far the widespread desire for shorter hours of work might be met without danger to the mechanical trades, or whether it must be resisted ' in the Interests of all concerned. The wages paid were the same as for fifty-three hours per week. The full complement of men, at the Salford Iron, works it 1.2P0. TVip trnrtoM. t-ptvN. -' ' - - -- . tr resented in the works are pattern makers, iron and brass molders, smiths, coppersmiths, tin-plate workers, engine . fitters, millwrights, electrical mechanics, turners and fitters, brass founders, lMiler makers, planers, drillers, borers, machine-tool makers. Joiners and laborers. The character of the vvotk was the same as that turned out during previous years, comprising textile arid other machineryThe trial was during a year of exceeding depression, and when the prices obtained for the output were the lowest on record, but the invoice value of the goods produced amounted to the average value of the six preceding years. This was regarded by Mr. Mather a-s an unfavorable condition for the test, because, with five hours less work per week for each man without reduction of wages, and with prices of the product lower than in any preceding year, it was felt that the ratio of labor cost to selling price would be abnormally high. All the productions were subject to keen competition at home and abroad. No monopolies of any kind were included in the year's trial. Onethird of the men employed were on piecework wages, and that system received a thorough trial, as well as the weekly wage system. No extra preparations were made for the year's trial, and no unusual instructions were given. Mr. Mather's own language beet explains the method adopted to insure accuracy in the trial: "In order to carry out the trial with scientific precision and care, a very competent engineer accountant, a member of the staff at the works, who was perfectly familiar with the subject, having occupied, the position for Forae year3, was deputed to take dally and weekly notes of the smallest details of time ami cost throughout the year. His method of keeping- the books relating- to cost and production and the statistical knowledge he possesses, gathered from a large experience of all questions Involved In the various processes of our manufactures, render the results which are recorded in the report absolutely correct and trustworthy." - - For the purposes of the test work began iarcn i, layj, ana terminated Feb. 28, 1894. The figures taken as the standard of comparison were the wages for the six previous years , at fifty-three and fiftv-four hours per Week. The production during the trial year was actually greater, but the "turn over, on account of chean crimes, war somewhat less. This resulted in showing an increase oi .ut per cent, in labor cost, but it is rather a remarkable fact that the economy in shorter hours for burning gas and fuel, for wear and tear to tools, ma chinery, etc.. amounted to a savings of .04 per cent., inus exactly equaling the increased labor cost. In the rifty-three and fifty-four hours' work the lost ti me nmmint. ed to 2.4'i per cent., while in the fortv-elght hours' work it amounted to but .40 per cent. The result of the trial on niece wnrk wk looked forward to with , most interest, it being the natural assumption that every man was already doinar his best in this manner of work. The firm divided the year into tnree equal parts to test the results in this connection. In the first period the wages realized were 1.7C per cent. Ies3 than the standard piecework wages: in thf sec ond, 1.58 per cent. less, and In the third. 0.7S per cent, less, the average for the year coming to per cent. less than the standard. These figures, it is argued, show a steady adaptation to the altered conditions, and indicate that, as the work proceeds In the new year, the difference will entirely disappear, and that the piecework output for next year in eight hours will De as large as under the old ten-hour sys tern. Almost equally important has been the trial given tne eight-hour system by the Sheffield Smelting Company, in which an other member of Parliament Mr. J. H. Wilson is a principal. At 'thi3 place the plan has been in operation for two years. The result has been summed up as follows: "A careful comparison has been drawn between the result of the working of the past two years and that of the two preceding. The wages of the two years before and the two following the change have been taken and compared with the total amount of material smelted and the amount of bullion produced, and it la found that the cost in wages for both per ton of material smelted and per ounce of bullion producedhad been slightly less .under the new scheme. The effect on the work people has been notable. The men have been fresher and brighter in every respect. Instead of, as. in former years,- dragging out the latter portion of their time tired and weary, they have shown an increased cheerfulness and interest which has been manifested in both the quality and quantity of the work accomplished. The figures taken as the standard with which to compare results were those of the years is:) and 1S91, during which the average working hours were fifty-four and fifty-five per week, and in some departments even longer than that. The production has been similar in amount, there being, perhaps, a slight Increase In the trial years. It has been found that in the latter period the men have earned practically the same wages as under tha old regime. In a few isolated cass the abolition of overtime has sligntly reaucea tne gross earnings, out in most cases there has been no reduction except the very substantial one in the hours of labor. In comparison with the work done, no more men are employed than was formerly the case, and. curiously enough, in many instances, the same men in the shorter hours were found to ds fully as much work as they formerly did. The main point is that the work people, by being fresher and untired, are able to keep up a better pace throughout the day." LETTER FROM DOLE. Hawaii's President Opposed to Making Annexation a Party Matter. SAN FRANCISCO. June 2. Walter G. Smith, former editor of the Hiwaiian Star, sends to the Associated' Press from Honolulu a copy of the following self-explanatory letter received by him from President Dole on May 25: "My Dear Sir You Vtter Inclosing the communication of Mr. Humphrey, secretary of the National 1er'ibl!Mn I-.oa.rue of the United States, which wutrsts that some political organization and ;he provisional government should ite jou to ypeak for Hawaii an I the policy of annexation before the league ronvfution toon tc be held in Denver has wilted too I r.g for an answer.

The members of Encampment No. SO, Union Veteran Legion, assembled at Roberts Park Church, last night, to participate In the annual memorial service. The interior of the church was decorated with the. national colors. An immense starry banner swung from the galleries, its heavy folds hanging gracefully above the pulpit. The altar was wound 'about with the flag, and below the chancel rail there were eight vacant chairs, draped in somber black In memory of the comrades who have passed away during the past year. - A section of seats in the center of the auditorium had been reserved for the use of the veterans, who filed into their places at the conclusion of the offertory by Mrs. W. B. Judah. The pastor,, Rev. Dr. Coultas, with the officers of - the Union Veteran Legion, occupied seats upon the rostrum. The exercises were impressive and interesting, and included a programme of patriotic music, besides an exemplification of a portion of the ritualistic work. The musical portion of the programme included the solos, "Tenting To-night on the Old Camp Ground" and "Our Country's Flag," by Mr. Dan Davis, and the solo, "Just Refore the Battle, Mother," by Miss Ida Sweenle. A specially selected anthem was sung by the choir. Adjutant B. W. Sullivan read the roll of honor, as follows: George B. Cooley, Forty-fourth Illinois Regiment; John A. Wh'ltsit, Twenty-sixth Indiana Regiihent; Peter Zimmer, Twentieth Indiana Regiment; Marlon M. Elliott, Fortieth Indiana .Regiment; Daniel Weldner, Twenty-sixth Indiana Regiment; Charles Ingersoll, Eleventh Indiana Regiment; Cyrus W. Overman, Sixteenth Indiana Regiment; Joseph Moore, Fifty-eighth Indiana Regiment. As the name of each departed co tirade was read Lieut.-Col. B. D. Miner solemnly deposited a wreath of cedar upon the memorial chair. This impressive tribute was followed by the muffled roll, executed by Prof. H. S. Beissenherz. At the conclusion of the reading of the roll of honor the choir sang a beautiful anthem, entitled "The Soldier's Farewell." Adjutant Sullivan then read an address, "In Memory of the Women-of the War," and Maj. F. H. Stire deposited a wreath upon one of the vacant chairs, which represented the loyal women of the North. In his address Rev. Dr. Coultas paid a magnificent tribute to the past record of the veterans who sat before him. He said that although the old ship of state was very near the breakers, she now sails under clear skies, and the fact should not be forgotten that many of the hands who saved her sleep across silent breasts today. He spoke of the Nation's dead heroes, Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Logan and Sheridan, whom he thought still lived in their bravery and love of country. He believed that if they could speak to-day one of the first words that would come from their lips would be "peace." The pastor thought the Nation's army ought to consist of citizen soldiers, and their warfare should be for the betterment of government and the purity of society. : FIRE DRILL AT THE llOSPITAL. .The Attaches of that Institution to Be v;r, 0iVTrained for an Emergency. "Within a very few days a system of fire drills will be inaugurated at the City Hospital by Superintendent Wright, the purpose; of which is to train the nurses, employes and attaches for a systematic plan of concerted action in case of a fire in the Institution. The Idea is that of Dr. Earp. and it was at his suggestion that it was taken up. When Dr. Earp was appointed on the Health Roard he at once began to examine Into the conduct of affairs and arrangements at the institutions under the control of the board. lie' was struck by the utter lack of any sort of arrangement at the hospital for fire, save the ilptrlbutlon of fire, extinguishers throughout the building. He found that It was the duty of no one in particular to make use of these fire extinguishers in the case of an alarm of fire, and the old saw, "What's everybody's business is nobody's business," at once forced itself upon his mind. It occurred to him that it was very' likely that in case of lire in the .hospital, no one having specific instructions to see that the lire extinguishers were used, everybody wouid leave it to some one else, and the result would be that they would not be used. . . The, plan of Dr. Earp, and which will be fut Into effect Immediately by the superintendent, is to have the force at the hospital assigned certain specific duties to perform in case of an alarm of fire. The plan is to drill them In their work at stated Intervals,so as to give them proficiency in their especial duties. The two old bells that are now at the hospital will probably be removed and gongs placed in the building in their stead. The bells now in use make such a clang that they waken nearly every patient in the building every time they, are rung. Under the new plan, when an, alarm of fire is sounded in the building, it will be sounded in such a way as to indicate in what part of the building the flames are. Every man and woman in the institution will have a specific duty to perform, and will know in an instant just what is required of him and how, he Is to do it. He will, know the instant the alarm is sounded that his especial duty .calls him to some particular part of the building to do some particular act. The nurses' duty will be to look after the patients and see that all are. removed in safety. It will be the duty of certain of the employes to us the fire extinguishers, and when the alarm fs sound ed they will get the xtlnguishejrs in ac tion without delay. This arrangement will be carried out through the entire establishment. The force will be drilled In its work at. stated intervals. The idea met with the approval of Mayor Denny and the superintendent as soon as it was suggested to them, and wonder was expressed that the scheme had not been thought of before. . MUST FACE IT TO-DAY. The Coffins and Reed Will Receive Their Sentences This Morning?. At 9 o'clock this morning Francis A. Coffin Percival B. Coffin and Albert S. Reed will 'stand before the bar of justice in the United States District Court to receive their sentence upon the verdict of the jury rendered one week ago to-day, finding them guilty of aiding and abetting Theodore P. Haughey in the wrecking of the Indianapolis "National Eank. The verdict was exactly-what the public expected it to be, with the possible exception of Reed', whom a number of people thought would be acquitted, and within a few days after the verdict was rendered the case ceased to be a topic of general conversation, as it had been, and the mining troubles took its place to a great extent. Though the men had not been sentenced and there was a bare possibility of a new trial being granted, the men being released under bond pending appeal, tne general run of people were hrmly convinced that Judge Baker would not exercise his discretionary power and permit the Coffins to retain their liberty under heavy bonds. It is expected that if Reed .5 not released under suspended judgment he will be permitted to remain at home rending the disposition of the appeal to the higher court. It is more than likely that a large crowd will gather early at th- court room to get a glimpse of the men as they are sentenced. All through the long trial both the Coffln3 displayed a wonderful amount of "nerve." Neither of them ever flinched, not even when the verdict of the Jury was read, and It Is expected that they will receive their sentence with the same gamness. Theodore P. Haughey will not be sentenced till 4 o'clock to-morrow afternoon. Oppuiird to Secedern.

Watson, of Rushville, grand chancellor of the State, came in yesterday, and is at the Denison Hotel. Among the other officers ' already hen are Hon. James M. Hatfiled, vice chancellor; Charles F. S. Neal, of Lebanon, grand prelate; Hon. James E. McDonald, of Llgonler, grand master at arms; Ernest Peacock, of Rensselaer, grand inner guard. The committee on grievances and appeals, consisting of Robert Loveland, of Peru, George Shirts, of Noblesville, and John B: Cockrum, ot this city, have been in session for two days preparing a report to be made on Tuesday. Charles S. Hernley, of New Castle, James E. McHenry, of Wabash, and Ed E. Weakley, of Thorntown, composing the finance committee, have already begun their work. To-rrorrow morning's session will be devoted to the conferring of honors upon new past chancellors. The election of grand officers will take up the afternoon. Wednesday will b? devoted to the transaction of all business that may come before the body. To-morrow night, at English's Opera House, there will be an exemplification of first and third rank work by Star Iodge, of this city. The most important business to come before the Grand Lodge, it is thought, will be the disposal of a number of stubborn matters relative to the proponed erection .of Castle Hall. There is now a society known as the Castle; Hall Association, which has In hand the; management of the nmrvispil new luiil liner at the corner of Massachusetts avenue and Pennsylvania j street. The lot was purchased at a cost of $47,000. of which amount $17,000 is yet unpaid. The financial stringency has greatly retarded the lans of the order, and It now seems to-be a question with the Grand Lodge whether or not the Castle Hall Association will be nble to carry out the original scheme. Grand Chancellor Watson has a plan by which ho believes the building can be erected and will place his views before the Grand Lodse delegates tomorrow. . Another Important matter to come before the Grand Lodge will be he Question of the legality of district meetings' Last year there was temporarily organize! twelve, districts in the State, with a deputy In charge of each. The grand chancellor will recommend that these districts be made permanent. It is not thought that the German ritual problem, which coated a Morm in the session of the Grand Lodge last year, will be touched upon at this "meeting. The German lodges look forward to the next supreme session to reverse the decision of the Grand Lodge. There is a movement; on foot among Grand Lodge officers and members of subordinate lodges to secure for Indianapolis the meeting of the Supreme Lodge of the worjd in 18. The Supreme Lodge convenes in Washington in August; and an effort is then to be made in the interest of Indianapolis. Major General Carnahan, of the Uniform Rank of the World; Col. W. L. Helskell, Maj. W. I Dunlap and John H. Russell, of Lawrenceburg, are delegates to the Supreme meeting, and will cast four votes out of a total of 106 votes for Indianapolis. The Indiana officials are sanguine of success 'in this direction, and say that should the meeting of the Supreme Lodge be secured for Indianapolis the event would bring 200,000 strangers to the city. There are now in the State about 37,000 Knights of Pythias in good standing, and representing 405 lodges. In tho en-tire State there are but fifteen towns of a thousand inhabitants where there is not a lodge, and It is the intention of the grand officers- to organize lodges in . eleven cf these towns during the next year. The membership of the fctate Vowa an Increase of 3,000 during the past year. liiiiiJ&U THE BENEFIT FESTIVAL. Arrangements for tlio Event at the Fair Grounds Next Week.
