at these towns. . and. therefore. It would b unjust to compel the roads to stop their trains there. A lively discussion followed. In which Mr. Piatt, Mr. Teller and Mr. 1 Jerry took part, as to the lawless acts wh'ch had been perpetrated.

An amendment was Adopted authorizing the Secretary of War to employ a representative of the Army of .Northern Virginia (confederate), who .fought at Gettysburg, to assist in preparing the tablets for the Gettysburg battlefield. Mr. Dubois, Republican, of Idaho, offered an amendment increasing the appropriation for surveying public lands from $275,(xjO to UV.noo. and to this Mr. Allen, Populist, of Nebraska, sought to add a provision for the Irrigation and survey of arid and semi-arid lands and appropriating JMU.000 for the purpose.

Queen Llllnoknlnnt's Agents Ilefuse to Divulge Their 3IIslon. WASHINGTON. Aug. l. The Hawaiian royalirt commissioners, who reached the city last night, kept to their rooms at the Arlington most of the day, arranging for their pian of work while here. When a reporter asked Mr. Widernan the purpose of their visit to Washington he replied: "I cannot tell you at this time. We have agreed not to divulge the nature of our mission until we see Secretary Gresham, and also possibly the President. We expect to see the Secretary to-morrow and shall go direct to the State Department and not seek the assistance of any intermediary, just the same as you would do had you any business there. The President has received the plea for the restoration of the Queen and why should we, who represent her. not have the privilege of calling on the Secretary?" Mr. Widernan said further that the commission had not come to Washington to ask for the restoration of the Queen nor for the purpose of asking compensation for her because of her dethronement. In fact, he (Widernan), had not heard of this report until he reached Washington. Mr. Widernan was somewhat chary in discussing the statement that has been printed to the effect that the commission would request the United States to adopt a policy of noninterference in Hawaiian matters pending further developments. It was evident, however, that he felt deeply on this subject for he promptly replied, in answer to a question regarding it that the resolution of the United States Senate certainly meant noninterference and later he made a remark to the effect that the present government was that of Mr. Stevens, formerly the American minister. Secretary Gresham will see the Hawaiians as Individuals, but it is unlikely that anything definite will come of their visit. CUAXK AT Till: WHITE 1IOISF.. Thomas Cadouan AVanted to Discuss Tiling vlth the President. WASHINGTON. Aug. l.-The immunity from cranks which the White House officials have enjoyed for a few weeks was rudely broken to-day by the appearance at the main doorway of an undersized man In working clothes and carrying a bag of stonemason's tools over his shoulder. He was Thomas Cadogan and gave his address as the Lynn House in Pennsylvania avenue. In an excited manner he told the watchman "I want to see the President." What for?" queried the policeman quietly. "They want to put me under ground, sec? And I want to tell the President about it and you must not stop me." replied Cadogan nervously. A telephone call brought a patrol wapon in short order and the man was carried to the Third precinct station. Some crank papers were found In his pockets, making it appear that Cadogan wanted to secure the President's pernn?lou t ,line" the Capitol building. He has called before at the White iloustr. but was tractable and persuaded to go away. In a note he left for the President he complained that the watchman kept him from discussing matters of importance with Mr. Cleveland. n:siox for sharp sosi:.

L "Sharp Nose," an Arapaho Indian chief of Wyoming, has been deemed by the Ilsuse pension committ worthy of a pension of 112 a month for

his services to the government as a scout

In leading the attack on the village of hostile Cheyennes in the Big Horn mountains In November. 1S76. and on othsr occasions. "Sharp Nose" ;s now broken In health, and the committee decided to renort a bill for him introduced by Representative Coffeen. Papers are on file signed by President Garfield, Generals Howard, Crook and Brooke, recommending "Sharp Nose" for govern ment aid. Western Kepresentatives say that pensions to friendly Indians have always proved good investments. Agree on Senator Cnnitlen' Illume. WASHINGTON. Aug. l.-The Senate Su gar Trust Investigation committee was in session to-day. considering the final reports to be made by the committee. There Is no longer any. doubt that the Democratic memben of the committee and the Republican members will present a disagreement on the main features developed by the inquiry t and that there will be two reports, show ing the political shadings of the two par ties represented by the Senators. There are some features, however, on which all the members of the committee will agree, and It Is understood that the rart whlcf Senator Camden has played in the inquiry is one of the points on which the Democrats and Republicans agree. On this joint the testimony will be cited and the tacts as they appear commented on In a manner which will not. it is stated, relieve tne West Virginia Senator from blame. i Xfver He Curried Out. WASHINGTON, Aug. l.-It 13 doubtful whether the provisions of the recent de cision of Assistant Attorney-general Hall respecting citizenship in the Cherokee In dian na'!on will ever be carried out by the Interior Department. There are between thirty thousand and forty thousand intrude s in the nation to be removed by the government, a work which could be accomplished erly by strong military aid. There are no funas at present to Justify the appraisement of the improvements made by the Intruders, which Is required to be done before th'.ir ejectment Is begun. An amendment to the Indian appropriation bill setting apfu't $4,ouo for the cost of appraisement will probably be made, but no plan whatever for the actual ejectment of tnese intruders has been outlined. Her Keel and llllgre IMntes llent. WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. The good Judgment of the Navy Department in requiring the Minneapolis to be docked and examined after grounding on her trial trip, and before accepting her, was verified by the result as reported to the department to-day. It was found that the vessel had received a dent in her keel and bilge plates about two feet long and about three Inches deep, and that the central propeller was roughened on the 'edges, as though It had struck some hard object. As the damage was received while the ship was in the hands of the contractors, they proceeded at once with the work of removing and strengthening the bent plates, which will not take long nor be expensive. Admiral Stanton. Retired. WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. The President to-day approved the application for retirement of Admiral Stanton, to take effect July 30. This results In the promotion of Commodore Erben, now commanding the European stat'.on, to be rear admiral, ami the assignment of Commodore Richard Meade to the command of the north Atlantic station, vacated by Admiral Stanton's retirement.

SIIC FELL ABOUT 150 FEET AXD WAS CRVSIIKD AXD 3IAXGLEO. AVhlternp Trial In Pike Connty Friend' Rlble Assembly Red Mon'i Celebration nt Anderson. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON. Ind.. Aug. 1. Miss Tillie Sebran, aged seventeen, was instantly killed i here this afternoon. Miss Sebran and her brother arrived in Anderson last night from Richmond, where they reside. Pebran had an old balloon and a parachute with -, which his young sister had determined, against the earnest protest of her mother, to make an ascension and leap. The event took place at Inwood Park, on the eastern limit of the city. The balloon shot ud about two hundred feet, when JWisa Sebran cut loose. The parachute did not fill, and several thousand people were sickened by the horrible sight of the awful rapidity with which she shot earthward. AVhen about 150 high the parachute suddenly opened, but the force broke her crasp, and with an awful impact the poor tiirl fell just opposite the river and within sight of the thousands of Red Men picnicking at Riverside Park and the crowd assembled at the baseball park. When she was reached life was extinct. The impact broke her left lesr and ankle, crushed her spinal column and broke her neck. The body was taken to Sells's morpue, and will be taken to her home in Richmond tomorrow morning. It was her first effort, and she had an engagement to go to 1'endleton next Sunday. DlllOIS COIXTY AVIUTH CAPS. Trial of Henry Sutton at leternhurs Results of Previous Suits. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PETERSBURG, Ind., Aug. l.-The trial of Henry Sutton, charged with whitecapplng, venued to this county from Dubois county, began in the Pike Circuit Court this morning, and promises to be one of the most exciting trials that ever took place in this court. Sutton is charged with whipping one William Coffee and wife, formerly of Dubois count-, but now of Petersburg. Coffee Is a gooci-for-no thing fellow, and was looked upon by the respectable people of Dubois county as a disgrace to any community. One' chilly night in November, 1S90, Coffee, and wife were taken from their home, near Ellsworth, Dubois county, by ten or twelve masked men and whipped without mercy. The whipping of Coffee and wife stirred the whole county, and the grand grand jury began at once to investigate the matter. It was over a year from the time of the whipping until the guilty parties were run down. Late In the fall of 1891 the srrand jury found Indictments against Henry Sutton. John H. Rrown. Thomas Highfield, William Iflghfield and two other men named Ellis, prominent and prosperous farmers of Dubois county, charging them with the crime. The arrest of tnese men immediately followed the action of the grand Jury, which caused quite a sensation, the defendants being so widely known. William Highfield was the first of the men tried. His trial took place at Jasper, and was hotly contested both by State and defense. The jury In the case brought in a verdict of guilty, and Highfield was sentenced to two years in tne penitentiary, where he is at present The trial of Thomas Highfield followed, and the defendant was acquitted. The third man tried was John H. Rrown, who was convicted, after one of the warmest legal battles ever fought in the courthouse in Jasper. Brown was sentenced for' two years, out in some way ascertained this fact before the verdict was read in open court, and fled, and has never been heard of since. All '"efforts to locate him have been fruitless. The case against the Lllls boys was nollied, Coffee having made an affidavit that they had nothing to do with the crime. The trial of Sutton will be a hotly contested tight. Several lawyers are employed by both State and defense! Over two hundred witnesses have been summoned from Dubois county. Sutton, the defendant. Is an old soldier, and has always been a good citizen, his reputation being above reproach. He is now a resident of this county. . HMMMSBSHHSHSMSaSS FOt WD A CAVE. Oil-Well Drillers Strike nn Underground Chamber In Wells County. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNClE, Ind., Aug. 1. A. M. Huffman, who Is drilling a number of oil wells In the Blackford and Wells county field?, was In Muncle yesterday, and told of the discovery of a cave in that district. The find was made in the Yawger settlement. In Nottingham township, Wells county. A cavity was struck at the depth of about a hundred and fifty feet in rock, and when the drill went through It could not be let down far enough to reach a solid foundation. Six different holes were drilled close around, all with the same result. To further test the matter, two poles twenty feet long and a little less In diameter than that of the holes were cut and dropped into one of them, with the same result, both disappearing without being able to find them again when the drill was let down. On Friday sixty quarts of nltro-glycerine were exploded in -one hole, but the report was only faintly heard, and nothing came out of the hole but a little water and a small quantity of red mud that resembled a thick paste. Mr. Huffman, who has had a number of years experience, says he never encountered anything like it. Further Investigation will be made. IIROWX COUNTY BARBARITY. fnvnfre Brutalities That Were Inflicted on the Stevenson Brothers. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. COLUMBUS, Ind., Aug. l.-Alonzo Stevenson, the Brown county White Cap victim, was driven into Nashville yesterday by his young wife. He has, since he was shot, received but little If any medical treatment. The ball is still imbedded in the fleshy part of his leg, below the knee, and his leg and foot are swollen to twice their natural size. When he was shot by the Whitecappers he was a picture of health; now he is greatly reduced in flesh, and looks like a dead man. Charles Stevenson, a brother, was also in Nashville. He wa3 the worst whipped of any. After being knocked down by the Whitecappers with a club, he was bound to a tree, and with hickory withes whipped until gashes were cut in his back that cannot be filled by the finger of a large man. All the Stevenson families, excepting Alonzo'y. have left Brown county and gone to Bloomington, and as soon as he can travel he will do so. As yet there has been little or nothing done to hunt down and prosecute the Whitecappers. EDITORS FED WELL. The Republican Association, at South Bend Yesterday. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

LouR-Diitance Eleetrle Line. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION. Ind., Aug. 1. W. C. McWhinney, superintendent of the Marion Streetrailway Company, in an interview, expressed the opinion that in two years this ci'ty will be connected with Indianapolis by electric railway. The Marion company already runs into Gas City, six miles south of here, and intends soon to xtend the line to Falrmount. A line from Anderson to Alexandria has been under contemplation for some time by the Anderson company. This, when constructed, would leave but ten miles to be completed between here and Anderson. That Anderson Is to be connected with Indianapolis by electric railway Is regarded as a foregone conclusion. The cars would be constructed with a view to long trips; they would be comfortable and built for speed. The schedule time would be but little slower than that of tie sieam cars. Mr. McWhinney says that oars would leave a;t Intervals of not over an hour. Worried by the Barrett Law. Special to ihe Indianapolis Journal. CONNERSVILLE, Ind., Aug. 1. A legal controversy is being carried oi here regarding the legality of an ordinance providing for a sewerage system, and should tha Common Council pass this ordinance under the Barrett law at their coming meeting It will likejy precipitate a suit in court. As previously stated this city's ordinances under the Barrett law have proved In a measure unsuccessful, and in the contemplated improvement another legal difficulty will be met. Th? Barrett law does not levy a tax to provide for the city's cost of a proposed improvement, and as Connersvllle has reached Its constitutional debt limit several of the legal lights affirm It has no means of paying the cost of 'the sewerage system at the street crossings.. The action of th3 Common Council Is awaited with much interest, as the city re divided into ractlons on the question. . The lied Men's IMcnlc. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
