POST DEAD -MEMBER. - OF -CONGRESS FROM 71113 TESTH ILLINOIS DISTRICT, And One of the Bravest Commander of the Northern Army iu the War of the Rebellion. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. Gen. Philip Sidney Post, "member of Congress from the Tenth district of. Illinois, died at the Hamilton Hotel, in this city.thls morning, after an Illness of one day. Hia death was from heart failure, resulting from acute gastritis. For some time he has been suffering at intervals with attacks which physicians pronounced dyspepsia, but had attended to hla congressional duties unremittingly. He passed the holidays at his home in Illinois and reached Washington Wednesday. Early Saturday morning he was seized with an attack of his old trouble which did not, however, assume serious form until evening. Durng the night heart falure set in and for some hours before his death, which occurred at 4:30 o'clock this morning, the physicians could detect hardly any pulse beat. Mrs. Post and a son, W. S. Post, were with him. There is another son, Philip S. Post, a' lawyer In Chicago. The Illinois delegation in Congress will hold a meeting at 11 , o'clock to-morrow , morning to take appropriate action, and the House will adjourn after the reading of the journal. The usual committees from the House and Senate will be appointed to act as an escort to the body to Illinois. The funeral party will leave Washington at 8 o'clock to-morrow night, will arrive in Chicago Tuesday night and the funeral services will be held in Galesburg, Hi., probably Wednesday afternoon. There will be no services in this city. General Post was best' known through his brilliant military services in the rebellion, where he won high rank and distinction ' with great rapidity. When the war began he was appointed second lieutenant of the Fifty-ninth Illinois Infantry. After the first Missouri campaign he became major and eight months after his enlistment was made colonel for gallantry at the battle of Pea Ridge, in which he was desperately wounded. Before he was able to mount his horse without assistance he rejoined the troops, then hurrying forward to Corinth, and was at once assigned to the command of a brigade. From May, 1862, to the close of the war he was constantly at the front. In the Army of the Cumberland, aB first organized, he commanded the First Brigade, first division of the twentieth army corps, a brigade , conspicuous in all the engagements of that army, under General Rosecrans, from its formation to the dissolution of the corps. With it he commenced the battle of Stone river, drove the enemy back several milea and captured Leetown. During the Atlanta campaign he was transferer! to General Woods's division of the Fourth corps and when the latter was wounded at the battle of Lovejoy Station, took command and returned with it to Tennessee to oppose the progress of the enemy north. On Dec. 15, 1864, in the Nashville fighting, he carried Montgomery Hill at the point of the bayonet and in the next day's right fell, dangerously wounded, while leading an assaule on Overton Hill. In July, 1865, he was given command of the Western district of Texas and remained until the withdrawal of the French ffom Mexico removed the danger of military complications. General Post's civil career ha3 been a varied one. He was born March 19, 1833, in Florida. Orange county, New York, was graduated from Union College in ISoo, practiced law in Kansas, where he also edited a Democratic paper, and in Illinois. After the war in 1866 he was appointed consul to Vienna, was promoted to consul general for Autr la -Hungary in 1874, resigned in 1879. was commander of the Department of Illinois G. A. R., in 1866 and was a Republican member of Congress for four terms beginning with the Fiftieth Congress. GALESBURG. III.. Jan. 6.-The news of the death of Congressman P. S. Post, profoundly shocked this community, with which General Post has for so many years been identified. He was very popular in Galesburg and on all sides are heard expressions of sorrow. When he left here last Tuesday morning he said to his physician that he never felt better. It was not known

here that he was sick. The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon under the auspices of the G. A. R.

Hon. Georje Dudley Thomas. ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 6. The man whom Henry Grady always declared to be the most complete man he had ever known, the ablest lawyer, the most consistent Christian, the best citizen, was buried at Athens to-day, death having come at the early age of thirty-eight. He was Hon. George. Dudly Thomas, and Mr. Grady's estimate of the man's character was that of all of the people of Georgia. He was a classmate of Governor Atkinson in the State University, and, though he never took part in politics, his eminence as a lawyer was universally recognized. For nine years, or until his health failed a year ago, he was a professor in the law department of the university. For years he was partner with ex-United States Senatot Barrock. Major A. O. Abraham, one of the most prominent citizens of western Georgia, and for a number of years president of the Lagrange Banking and Trust Company, is dead. He was a power in politics of the State. SCARED BY A LIO-YS ROAE. The Klnsc of Beasts Frighten n Small Army of Pittshursers. PITTSBURG, Jan. 6. A full-grown lion on his way to this city in the baggage car of the Pacific Express Company, broke out of his cage at Johnstown, ninety mlle3 from Pittsburg, while the train was running forty miles an hour. The beast, known -as "Walliek," is very savage, and is said to have killed two ksepers. At all events, he soon put his keeper to flight out of one end of the, car, while the baggagemaster went out the other end and climbed into the engine, frightened almost to death. Both doors were locked and a stop was made at a way station and dispatches sent to the Pittsburg police to .gather up an army of men to help capture the lion when they should arrive. The greater part of the p.olice force and about twenty-five citizens, all armed with guns, axes, pitchforks, etc., went to the Union Station to helt nab the man-eater. As the train rolled into the Union Station the lion gave one roar, which caused the whole army of lion-hunters to take to their heei. After an hour's work from the outside of the car through the broken windows they managed to drive the lion into his cage, 'where he lay down and allowed the door to be closed on him. The amusing feature of the whole affair was that while the crowd was waiting on the train the police gotjan idaa'that the whole affair was a big advertising fake, and they 'pounced on Harry Davis, manager of the Harris Museum, and took him to the Central Station. The lion was to be exhibited at 'Davis's place. When the train ar-. rived and the lion was found to be at large, the police were profftse in apologies to Davis. . EUGENE SANDOW ROBBED. HIM Diamond-Studded Watch, Worth. $2,500, and f lOO In Cash Stolen. i OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 6. James Finn, William O'Brien and Edward Beck, Eastern crooks who succeeded in getting away with valuables to the amount of $3,000 belonging to the guests of the Paxton and Millard hotels, were arrested to-day. The robbery occurred on Friday night, but the valuables were not missed until yesterday. The goods stolen, from the Paxton amounted to $400 or $500, the loss being divided between a half dozen different guests. At the Millard, Eugene Santfow Was the only victim reported to have lost anything, his loss being heavier than the others combined. His heaviest loss was , gold atch set with diamonds, which was a present to him before he came to this country, and which he valued at $2,500. He also lost $100 in cash. The only clew obtained of the robbers was at the Millard, where two strangers had come in late and registered,, paying for their room in advance. These men disappeared early in the morning. Mr. Sandaw, who left lor St. Paul last evening, claimed he -tiadlcKrkpahls door betore going to bed, but he tiad found it unlocked when he got up yesterday morning. At 3 o'clock this morning the police rounded up the crooks. They were armed, but tie officers got the drop on them. They submitted quietly, but at the station made r desperate effort to escape and the entire office force was involved in a fight with them before they could be locked up. RICH CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS. They Dedicate a Church at Boston That Cost Over $200,000. BOSTON, Jan. 6. Christian scientists of Boston and of the whole country were Interested in, the dedication of an elaborate edifice dedicated to that sect, which took place here to-day. A great throng of people gathered in this city from every State in the Union in anticipation of the event and to-day the services had to be repeated fouA times in order that the people present might witness the exercises. The building is of brown stone, the architecture Romanesque, and is finely finished in light oak. The windows are of stained glass, representing various dogmas held by the scientiests. The cost was more than iw.wo. 'rne dedication consisted of a solo! and congregational singing, reading of! scripture, extracts from "Science and' Health" and the text book of Christian) science, by Dr. JE. J. Foster Eddy, the! adopted son of nhe mother and founder! of the sect, assisted by Dr. S. J. Hanna. miii.ii mis, iiciuiciia ciarKe rsemis, read a sermon written, for the occasion byi the Rev.

NEW TELEPHONE COMPANY. Chleagro Concern Incorporated, Trlth a Capital Stock of $20,000,000. CHICAGO, Jan. 6. The Cushman United Telephone Company, of Chicago, has been incorporated with a capital stock of $20,000,000, to manufacture telephone appliances and to' construct and operate tele--phone and telegraph exchanges. I. M. Cushman, O. O. Leathart and Joseph Barton are named as incorporators. None of the three is a resident of Chicago. When questioned as to the likelihood of the new company competing dangerously with the Bell Telephone Company Manager Hibbert said he had heard nothing about the formation of a company, but was not alarmed at the appearance of one or more competitors. H. J. Hanford. general manager of the Harrison Telephone Company, seemed to know something about the new company. "The Cushman patents," said he, "were tested in the United States District Court at Chicago two years ago. with the result that a permanent injunction was entered against their use or manufacture. Mr. Cushman is now eighty-one years old. He claims to have been the original inventor of the telephone, but has not been successful in his suits against the various companies." A. n. I". Appeal for Fund. NEW itiKK, Jan. 6. At the meetln of the Central Labot Union at Clarendon flail, to-day. an appeal was read from the American Railway Union for funds with which to fight the cases against Debs and the other officers. It says: "If the case is allowed to rest here without appeal the same infamous construction of the law cm again and again be used against labor organizations, and their leaders sent to prison every time a strike is attempted. The six months' fight already made has depleted the treasury and exhausted the resources of the defendants. The defendants can fight no longer without-aid." A committee was at once appointed by the union for the purpose of collecting a fund to assist Debs. Insane Over His Daughter' Exrapnde. DENVER. Col., Jan. 6. S. S.

CARLISLE BILL TO BE KILLED SCHEME THAT MAT BE CARRIED INTO EFFECT EARLY THIS WEEK. Senator 11111 Reported to Huve a Currency Meusnre That May Be Accepted and Finally Adopted. f Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. Colonel Breckinridge proposes to "get even" with ail his Kentucky enemies. He has already taken the war path. His first blow is aimed at Senator Blackburn. Of all his enemies, and they are numerous, Breckinridge hates Blackburn most. During the trial of the Breckinridge-Pollard case Senator Blackbu'rn wrote to Breckinridge, warning him against saying anything in his .testimony that might be the least offensive to Mrs. Luke- Blackburn, the Senator's sister-in-law. ' This letters was written with a Kentucky vein that left Breckinridge in" no doubt as to the consequences if, he disregarded the warning. He chose the safer plan and did not disregard it. Breckinridge is a venomous hater and a staying fighter. He threatens to "get even" with every man who was active in his recent, defeat, even should it be necessary to make the Lexington congressional district as strongly Republican as it has hitherto been Democratic Breckinridge is .a poor man. His plan is to obtain the financial sinews of his proposed warfare by lecturing. His efforts in that direction so faY have been anything but encouraging. However, Breckinridge intends to stick to the lecture platform,' hoping for better audiences in future. He has already begun his work , against Blackburn. The Senator's home is in the Lexington district and he has for years had the united support of the Democrats there. In fact, Breckinridge could never get to Congress until Blackburn was made Senator. The Blackburn influence in the district has been dominant for years. Breckinridge realizes that he cannot make any headway against Blackburn within the Democratic party of the district. His scheme is to send as many Republicans as possible to the. next Legislature from the Lexington congressional district. Blackburn, In his contest for re-election, naturally depends largely on the support of his home district. There are half a dozen candidates, some of them very popular Democrats. With a solid delegation at his back from his home district Blackburn, together with his friends in other districts, would have a decided advantage. Breckinridge hopes to undermine Blackburn's strength by electing a number , of Republicans from the district. Strange as it may appear, Breckinridge still has stanch friends and supporters in that district. Men hitherto prominent in the Democratic party are .said to be willing to follow Brecknrldge in his campaign against his enemies, even to the extent of their party fealty. Breckinridge says he is a candidate for the Senate and he will, get in hia work against Blackburn under this guise. The friends of Blackburn here say he will be able to foil Breckinridge and carry his usual number of friends into the Legislature. But Breckinridge's race of last fall shows that he la atHV a nntftnt pfnp in that HitriotI TO KILL CARLISLE'S BILL. Opposition in the Honse Preparing for a Coup D'Etut; WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. The coming week promises to be a most eventful one in the) House of Representatives. It will not' only determine the fate of the Carlisle currenoy bill,' so far as the lower branch of Congress is concerned, but in the event of the! defeat of the measure it wili have a far-reaching effect on the currency question' and on the policy of Congress and the administration. The. Democratic House caucus,: which will convene at 3 o'clock"to-" morrow afternoon, unless postponed, on account of the death of Representative Post, wilt be the first important step, as it is expected to test whether any bill can command a majority and what the form of the bill is to be. The House will adjourn immediately after its assemblage out of respect for Mr. Post. A rule fixing the futue course of debate will not be introduced until Tuesday, and it3 terms will depend largely on the events of the caucus. It had been hopsd to get a final vote by Tuesday op Wednesday, but Mr. Springer, who is in charge of the bill, says it may be necessary to let the debate run through the week. There are evidences, however, that a coup id'etat will be jut in execution by Tuesday by those opposed to the bill. This will be a motion to strike out all after the enacting clause, which would be equivalent to a motion to kill the bill. It was by a stroke of this kind that the Morrison tariff-bill was summarily killed long before its friends had anticipated a final vote. ,The parliamentary leaders of the House have been consulted and have agreed that this move is regular and in accordance with the rules. They are expecting the move, although it is not known positively that it will be executed. If an early vote is thus precipitated, and all of the bill after the enacting clause struck out, it would do away with the five-minute debate and put a summary end to the struggle. If, however, the motion to strike out should fail to- secure a majority, the five-minute debate would proceed until the final vote was taken. There is no programme for - the week beyond , the currency bill, as this measure will exclude consideration of everything else until it is settledT Hilf Has Currency Scheme. PITSBURG, Jan. 6. The Washington correspondent of the Dispatch says: It istnow said that the currency bill which may become a law will be Introduced in a few days in the Senate by Mr. 'Hill, of New York. The fact is recognized by all parties that the Senate must eventually decide upon a measure if any is to become a law. if nothing can be formulated in the upper body that will meet with the unanimous support of the Democratic Senators, then there will be no currency legislation. It does not matter much what the House does at present, it will have to accept whatever the Senate gives it. just as it did in the tariff fight. Senator Hill is now mentioned a3 the possible savior of his party In the Senate. It was hinted to-day that he hasalready prepared a measure which he hopes to pass through that body. The details of his bill have not been made public, but it was stated to-day that one of the features of it will be the funding of greenbacks and treasury notes in low interest bonds. Another feature is said to be a provision for the coining of the seigniorage of the silver now in the treasury. This latter provision i3 meant to piacate tho free-silver element among the Democrats, while the 'first provision is counted on to attract some Republican strength. Ii is very evident that the Carlisle bill now before the House, even if it should pull through that body by a scratch, does not s'and a ghost of a show In the Senate. Whwtber 46 Is defeated la th Uu or

not. it is stated that something on the line o: Mr Hill's proposed b'il wi:i be the measure discussed in the Senate.

SENATE PROGRAMME. MrarmroHn Canal 1III1 and Appropj at Ions to Be Considered. WASHINGTON, Jan 6. The Senate willundoubtedly adjourn toiriorrow soon after the hour of . meeting as"a,jhark of respect to Representative Post. On Tuesday the Nicaraguan canal bill will again be bofora the Senate ffind the regular proceedings of the work will begin with a speech in support of t,he measure by Senator Mitchell, of Oregon. The friends of the catial bill are hopeful that a vote may be reached some time during the week, but whether it will attain that Important stage wia depend on the persistence of the opposition and the interference of the business of the appropriations committee.. The pension is the only appropriation bill now before the Senate, and it, is not believed that Its consideration will consume much time, but there is a probability that the urgent deficiency bill will be reported during the week, and In case it should be and an effort is made to call it up, it is to be the basis for numerous speeches on the appropriation for carrytng the income tax into effect. While the opponents of the Income tax generally disavow any intention to defeat the appropriation, they openly confess their puriose of using it as a text for speeches on the general policy of imposing such tax. The probabilities are, however, against any effort to secure consideration of this bill during the week. 1 It is likely that two or three speeches will be made against the Nicaraguan bill during the week, and there are ' still others, so far unannounced, to be made in its support. The advocates of the canal bill are beginning to grow somewhat anxious to secure a vote, as they suspect a: effort to hold this off until it may be possible tc displace the bill entirely with some other measure, or, if this be avoided and the ball passed, that it will reach the House too late to secure consideration during the present session. The general understanding now is that when the Nicaraguan bill shall be disposed of by the Senate the bankruptcy bill will be taken up for consideration, and that after that the territorial admission bills will receive attention. General Notes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. Representative Jason Brown got back to Washington tonight. Mr. Brown announced that as soon as the currency question is disposed of he will call up the various contested election cases pending, beginning with the SettleWilliams case. J. F. Applewhite, of Brownstown, is here. KILLED HER HUSBAND AND SERIOUSLY WOUNDED HER MOTHER-IN-LAW WITH A PISTOL. Deed of a Woman Who Was Crazed by Interference in Her Family Affairs A West A'irginia Ontrnge. UTICA, N. Y., Jan. 6. About three weeks ago William Flint and his wife came to this city from Binghamton to reside with Flint's mother. Flint Is about twenty-three years of age, and his wife is ten years his senior and the mother of two children by a former husband. Flint married her at Binghamton some six weeks ago. This morning Mrs. Flint arose at 10o'clock, and, proceeding downstairs, leveled a revolver at her husband and fired four shots at him without previous warning. Three of the shots took effect, and the man fell to the floor, mortally wounded. Then the woman fired two shots at Flint's mother, one striking her In the breast and the other In the arm. Though seriously wounded the woman may recover. Mrs. Flint says she was forced to the deed because of the constant interference of her mother-in-law in the affairs of the family. She was placed under arrest, but her mental condition is such that it was deemed advisable by the authorities to send her to the hospital. OUTRAGE AT COON SKIN. John Mourning Tortured hy Hangrlngr and Left to Freese. CHARLESTON, W. Va.. Jan. 6. The istory of a startling outrage was received here to-day from up Elk river. At Coon Skin, about 2 a. m., Dec. 29, four men went to the house of John Mourning, a harmless white man, who lives alone, dragged him from bed, tried to make him, confess to the murder of Simon Wallace and his mother in a suburb of this city four years ago. Mourning denied all knowledge of the crime, whereupon the men put a rope about his neck and hung him to a rafter of his house. When he was taken down he still asserted his innocence and ignorance, whereupo. he was strung up again, and this time when taken down was unconscious. The men laid him on the floor and left him half naked, with the thermometer registering several degrees below zero. When found by neighbors several hours later he was still unconscious. His legs were frozen to above his knees and his ears and hands were frozen. He was taken to a friend's house, and his condition is still critical. A deputy sheriff and a representative of the prosecuting attorney have left for Coon Skin, and a thorough investigation will be made. , - Two .Mexicans Killed. MANOR, i Tex., Jan. 6. A tragedy occurred, last, night, on the Henry Butler place, about four miles east of town, in which two men lost their lives. The statement of the surviving participant is as follows: Robert Hernandez, returning home from Rockdale, missed, connection and walked in from Elgin. Arriving at an unexpected hour he found Jose Olibos at his home. He claims Olibos commenced shooting at him. He returned the fire, killing Olibos. Antr.nio Chanarria, a stepson of Hernandez, who was also at the house, then commenced fighting, taking the pistol away from Hernandez, who then got the pistol from the dead man Olibos and killed Chanarria. All the parties are Mexicans. Three Murders in Texas. FALLS CITY, Tex., Jan. 6. Last night, late, three men were murdered within three miles of this village. E. H. Young, a prominent white farmer; Will Duran, colored, a farm hand, and A. C. Bubdis, a Mexican laborer, were found dead, on the roadside within two miles of each other, with bullet holes in their heads. From the similarity of the wounds and the situation in general, it is thought they all were murdered by the same party. The affair is very mysterious and the developments of an investigation which , is being made by the authorities, is anxiously awaited. Burelar Killed hy a Clerk. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DANVILLE, 111., Jan. 6. Early Saturday morning an unknown colored burglar was shot and killed at Sidney, about fifteen mile west of here.

CONGRESS DIDN'T HELP HIM AND HE COILD DO NOTHING MORB FOR THE DETHRONED QUE EN. Advices from Honolulu ' Stating that Three Conspirator! Have Been Held for Trial Without Ball. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. The attention of President Cleveland having been called to a hint thrown out in the Senate discussion on Friday that the visit of a certain "committee of royalists from the Hawaiian Islands," was connected in some way with the departure of American ships from that locality, the President said, to-night, to an Associated Press reporter: "Of course, such an insinuation is very absurd. Its propriety and motive behind it, I am sure, can safely be left to the judgment of fair and right-thinking Americans. I am entirely willing that all our people should know everything I know, concerning the visit of the so-called 'committee of royalists.' Last year, in the latter part of July or early in. August, three gentlemen from Jtlawaii arrived here and asked, through the Secretary of State, my designation of a time when they could have an interview with me and present a message from the deposed Hawaiian Queen. Though I could net with propriety recognize them officially, I was not disposed to reTuse them personally the courtesy of an audience. Therefore, a future day and - hour were fixed for the interview. In the meantime, at my. request, transmitted through the Secretary of State, these gentlemen made known the precise purpose of Jheir visit in the following note: ' 'Aug. 11, 1891. " 'The Hon. W. Q. Gresham. Secretary of State: "j'Sir We, the tindersigned, commissioners' sent by her Majesty, Queen Uliuokalanl, request an audience of the President of the United States.

"After this note had been submitted to me, I prepared in writing, with some care, a reply to the question it contained, to be read by me to the commissioners at our meeting. I intended to avoid all misunderstanding and misconception by absolutely confining myself to such written reply, of which the following is a copy: " "Gentlemen You must permit me to remind you that this interview is not an official one and that, instead of receiving you in any representative capacity, I meet you es individuals who have traveled' a long distance for the purpose of laying a certain matter before me. " 'You ask me if there s any hope of my doing anything for the restoration of the constitutional government of the Hawaiian Islands. I suppose that this question is largely prompted by the fact that soon aftarthevonsrjUns of tne government of the Queen, j. investigated tha.t transaction and was satisfied that there had been such an unjustifiable interference of aid of that movement, on the part of the representatives of the government of the United States in its diplomatic and naval service, as to cail for correction, not only to rectify what seemed to be a wronij done to others, but also through that rectification to ward off what appeared to b danger to American honor and probity. Fully appreciating the constitutional limitations of my executive power, and by no means unmindful of the hindrances that might arise, I undertook the task. Having failed in my plans, I committed the entire subject to the Congress of the Unltefl States, which has abundant power and authority in the premises. The executive branch of the government was. thereby, discharged from further duty and responsibility in the matter, unless moved thereto by congressional command. The (Congress has, both by its action and It3 omission to act, signified that nothing need be done touching American interference with the overthrow of the government of the Queen. "Quite lately a government has been established in Hawaii which Is in full fores and operation in all parts of the islands. It is maintaining its authority and discharging all ordinary governmental functions. Upon general principles, and not losing sight of the special circumstances surrounding this case, the ftew government is clearly entitled to our recognition without regard to any of the Incidents which accompanied or preceded its inauguration. ' 'This recognition and the attitude of the Congress concerning Hawaiian affairs, of course, led to an absolute denial of the least present or future aid or encouragement on my part to an effort to restore any government heretofore existing in th Hawaiian island. . .qroveR CLEVELAND.' "When the day appointed for the meeting arrived I was confined to my bed toy illness and unable to keep my engagement. I therefore signed the paper I had expected to read and it was delivered to the commissioners, who, J .bpHeve. returned at once to Hawaii. I never saw any member of this commission or committee and have never had any communication or transaction with any of them, directly cr indirectly, except as I have here staged. " Royalists Held for Trial. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6. The steamer China arrived here to-day with the following advices from Honolulu, dated Dec. 31: The preliminary examination of the alleged conspirators took place last week, anI three of them have been held for trial without bail. The main witnesses for the prosecution were spies in the employ of the government, who wormed themselves into the - confidence of the conspirators and, when the proper time came, gave the whole thing away. According to the testimony of the witnesses for the government, there was a deliberate plot to obtain possession of the government buildings anrP all the prominent supporters of the republic were to be surrounded and arrested at their homes by details of the conspirators. The government detectives even obtained complete lists of those who were to be arrested. Anions: them were President Dole, his Cabinet officers, members of the executive and advisory councils, newly-elected members of the legislature, army and police officials. The conspirators claimed to have some 2,000 stands of arms and the support of the natives, but the trial developed the fact that the natives took no stock in the affair, and that the conspiracy wajs simply gotten up by a gang of discontented whites and halfwhites. President Dole has received an autograph letter from President Montt of Chili, recognizing the new republic. Rev. Douglass K. Biernie, of Austin, Mass., has been offered the pastorate of the Central Union Church here, the largest and finest in the city. HAMLIN AND TILLMAN. Two Stalesmen Who Never Wore Overcoats Even In Zero Wealher. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. The recent blizzard which sent the mercury In thermometers so far downward brought to the minds of some a former picturesque figure in our history. Ex-Vice President Hamlin, of Maine, never wore an overcoat. He was a small man of light build and Invariably wore an old-fashioned swallow-tall coat of a blue color. Even during his last days of public service here in Washington, when he had become old in years and his flgur omewhat shrunken, by aje, Mr. ilamlln
