THE IKDIAXAPOLIS JOURNATv THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1895.

Senate late to-day by outlining some lnportant Bteps to be taken by th next Con tress, including a congressional lnvfstlatlon of the recent purchase of gold by the President of the Tnlted States. The epeech came unexpectedly, as an incident to the debate on -the Indian appropriation bill. lurlnir the earlv hours of the day. the

silver bill made its exit from the Senate, Mr. Jones, of Arkansas, in charge of the measure, announcing that its friends would make no further effort to pass it at the present session. The disposal of the measure was emphasized by the decisive vote of 55 to 12 on Mr. Gorman's motion to take up the Indian appropriation, bill, the effect of which was to displace the silver bill and Bend it back to the calendar. Mr. Wolcott's resolution declaratory for silver, but postponing action, also went to the calendar without final action. It was discussed briefly to-day. Mr. niacins opposed.it as meaningless. ;Mr. Manderson proposed an amendment, 'urging an international bimetallic agreement. The speech of Mr. Chandler ejgnificantly urged that the time "was near at hand when the Republican party must take affirmative, action on bimetallism. Most of the day was given to the Indian appropriation bill, final action bat beintr taken. Only ten Senators were present when the session opened at 11 o'clock this morning, but the galleries were well filled with deleKates to the Woman's National Council in session here. Mr. Hill, always watchful gainst surprises, was one of the earliest oomers. Mr. Jones, of Arkansas, in charge of the silver bill which still held its advantage as the unfinished business, clrcu?.ted. amon his associates. Mr. Piatt, Mr. JliKgins and other Republican, Senators were evidently prepared to carry forward the opposition to the silver bill and Mr. Hlggins secured the floor for a speech, but Mr. Jones soon came forward with an important announcement. JOXES WITHDRAWS HIS BILL. "The friends of. the regular order the Wlver bill." said Mr. Jones, "have no wish to risk the danger of an extra session of Congress. They so stated at the outset of the discussion. Events have shown that this danger might be iricurred and that the great appropriation bills might be "put in Jeopardy. For that reason the friends of the silver bill "have" authorized me to say that It will not be further pressed at the present session of Congres." Senator-elect Carter, of Montana, appeared on the floor during the preliminaries and was warmly congratulated by the "Senators he presiding officer presented the Wolcott silver resolution, coming over from last Illithr. dm nnlnrv In ta-n r oil..... ,.i at a ratio of 16 to 1, but stating that It was inexpedient at this late day in the session to take up the silver bill. Mr. Call sought to take up the Indian appropriation bill, but it waa cut off by the pbJectJon of Mr.Butler, In charg? of the pooling bill. A bill was passed granting railroad companies addditional powers to secure rights of Mv&y, etc. in the Indian Territory. Mr. , Higgins then addressed the Senate on the Wolcott resolution. He argued that It was meaningless and could effect nothing. Jt would not receive executive approval, even if it went through Congress. He said the repeal of the Sheman law was notice to the world that th United States would rio longer be the pavient ass to bear the burden of silver. v . At 12 o'clock the hour for consideration of unfinished business arrived, and a sharp controversy arose as to the precedence of various bills. The Wolcott resolution, under the ruies, went to the calendar. Mr. Gdrjnan appealed to Senators to stop the fruitSess discussion of the pending Wolcott resolution and take up the appropriation bills, which were demanding attention If it was xiopea to pass them. He moved to take up 'the Indian, appropriation bill. Mr. Butler m charge of the pooling bill, objected, and demanded a roll call. The motion prevailed to 13. The effect of the vote was to displace the silver bill as the unfinished busl- . Jiess and to send it back to the calendar. The vote for the, Indian appropriation . bill was not a test of strength of the pooling bill, as many friends of that measure voted to consider the Indian bill. The negative VOt.WAH?

Cameron, Faulkner, Hunton, Jones of Arkansas, Lindsay, Mills, Mitchell of Wisconsin, Quay and Wolcott.The Indian appropriation bill being taken tip Mr. Higgin continued hla Interrupted speech on the finances. . . Mr. Manderson offered an amendment to the Wolcott resolution as follows: "Provided, That efforts should be pressed by the United States to induce international bimetallism and any legislation for free coinage of Bilver should provide for the maintenance of the parity between both metals to which the faith of tls country as been repeatedly pledged." , . CHANDLER'S SPEECH. Mr. Chandler addressed the Senate on the Wolcott resolution. The speech was brief. It was looked on as significant and was followed with interest owing to the prominent part Mr. Chandler has taken in shaping the course of j the Republican side of tha chamber. He eaid: "In deference to the prevailing opinion of New Englartd, and because it may be unwise to open our own mints to the unlimited coinage of silver, without concurrent action on the part nf other great nations, I shall vote against the pending resolution. But I very muc'i - regret that I cannot also now vote in favt r of some affirmative measure in the direction of bimetallism, to promote which the Republican party is sacredly s ledged by the promises of its national convention in 1892, which, as yet, nothing has been done to redeem. Gold monometallism is our destiny if some affirmative action in another direction is not soon taken. The adoption of the single gold standard has helped to produce the impending calamity. Bimetallism has been romtsd to the people of this country. They wait with much Impatience for the fulfillment of the pleases solemnly made by both political parties." Mr. Daniel said the Democratic party had come into power charged and pledged by the people to the equal coinage of both metals and to repeal of the tax . on State banks, and yet it was about to relinquish Its power without redeeming its solemn pledge. The credentials of Thomas H. Carter, as Senator from Montana, for the term beginning March 4 next, were presented by Mr. Power, of Montana. Mr. Hoar criticised the manner of making out the credentials, laying they Hhould be simple and follow established forms. Mr. Hoar pointed out that the Governor of Montana reaited in the credentials that he "commissioned" Mr. Carter as Senator, whereas, said Mr. Hoar, ho Governor had no more power to comtmlssion a Senator than to commission the fcstiltan of Turkey. The House bill was passed authorizing, a bridge across the Missouri river at Sioux City, la., and Dakota county Nebraska: also House b!U authorizing a bridge across the Yellowstone river in Dawson county, Montana. , t WANTS AN EXTRA SESSION. Mr. Chandler, criticising committee amendments to tho Indian bill, said he considered an extra session of Congrous in evitable. He believed the chairman of the appropriation committee (Cockrell) had reached this conclusion. He thought this extra session would bo most desirable. "I m most hopeful." said Mr. Chandler, "that tho "President will call Congress together In extra session some time in April or IMay. It will." no doubt, assist In bringing back the stability of the country to assemble a Republican Congress. That Congress will undoubtedly take up tho Nicaragua cana project and pass a bill for the building o the canal, not by private corporation, bu. by the United States. I believe the nex. House of Representatives will take stepj to . bring about tho certain and ultimate annexation of Hawaii. - , "Moreover, the next Congress will Inaugurate an investigation of the recent purchase of gold by the President of the 'I'nltArl SUatAM Thrt (ronc-irtlAn la rf the most remarkable in our history. The rates at which our bonds were sold involve u. loss of $9.0uO,000 to the people of the United (states. If ever a financial transaction of an administration needed an investigation it Is this gold purchase. If ever a transaction needed a searching and severe committee of investigation such, for instance," continued the Senator, satirically, "as the Senate conducted against the sugar trust it is this gold purchase." After reviewing wrao of the features of that purchase, Mr. Chandler said: "There appears to be more below the surface concerning this transaction than the country is aware. It is not a transaction that Congress can allow to be uninvestigated. It is sure to be investigated by the next House of Represeiuatives. It is likely to be investigated by the Senate. And so, in order to see that Investigation thorough and deep, I hope to see the extra session called." Mr. Cockrell responded to that feature of Mr. Chandler's taunt, that the appropriation committee was loading down appropriation bills, well knowing that an extra siselou would be called. "If any appropriation bill fails," said Mr. Cockrell. with . emphasis, "it will be because of the Senator (Chandler) and the Republican steering committee. So far as the appropriation committee is concerned, every effort is being made to expedite the appropriation bill" The debate then reverted to the Indian bill, although Mr. Chandler's suggestions as to the puriwses of the next Congress continued to be an interesting topic. The Indian bill was not completed when, at 6 o'clock, the Senate held a brief executive cession, and then adjourned. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder .lost Perfect Made

TO BEADMIT JESUITS

THE 'REICHSTAG AGAIX VOTES TO REPEAL EXPULSION LAWS. No Probability that the Bundesrath Will Sanction the Measure Herr Richter Reproved, r BERLIN, Feb. 20. The resolution providing for the repeal of the laws expelling the Jesuits from Germany was read the third time and passed in the Reichstag this afternoon. The passage of the measure was received with cheers by the members of the Center or Catholic party. The Conservatives, the members of the Reichspartcl and the National Liberals voted against the resolution. It is not expected, however, that it wlil become a law, as the Bundesrath, which has heretofore always refused Its consent to repeal of the laws, is not expected to sanction the resolution. The bill for the expulsion of the order from Germany was passed by the Reichstag on June 10, 1872, by a vote of 131 to 93, and was promulgated on July 5. The supporters of the measure based their advocacy of it on the activity of the Jesuits on behalf of the papal supremacy. In December, 1S93, Count. Ho mpesch, the leader of the Center, introduced a bill to repeal the anti-Jesuit laws, which passed its third reading by a small majority, but the Federal Council failed to give effect to the repeal. A bill submitted by Herr Pachnlcke, of the Radical popular party, providing for popular representation in tho federal states of Germany, came up In the Reichstag today -on a motion for its second reading. After a discussion the motion was rejected. In the course of the debate there was a lively scene, arising from some remarks made by Eugene -Richter, of the PeoDle's party, on the constitution of the -Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg, which was the principal object of attack. He declared that Mecklenburg 6hould have long ago been extinct, except for the number of illegitimate births therein. At this point Federal Councilor Oertzen arose and indignantly protested against Richter's taunts, declaring that he was overstepping the bounds of decency. A great tumult ensued on the Leftist benches, which drowned the speaker's voice. When quiet had been restored. Von Levetzow, the president of the chamber, said he deeply regretted the expressions of Richter,; which was irreeonclllable with the traditions of the house. The members of the Ieft loudly applauded the remarks of Levetzow. The chamber then discussed the bill offered by Hitze, of the Center party, for the establishment of an inquiry Into the industrial conditions of working people, especially in regard to a further reduction rf the working hours of married women. Dr. Von Boetticher said that the government sympathized with the obiects of the bill as far as it sought to introduce greater comfort into the home life of the working clpsses. but the result of inquiries already proceeding should be awaited before the appointment of a general commission of inquiry. CHICAGO MAN KNIGHTED. J. Foster Rhodes Decorated by the Kilns; of Portnsral. LISBON. Feb. 20. J. Foster Rhodes, of Chicago, has been knighted by King Carlos. He has received the decoration of the order of Christian of Portugal. Who Mr; Rhodes Is. CHICAGO, Feb. 20. Mr. Rhodes is a promoter of ,l building companies. Mr. ChurchilU his business partner, said today: "Mr. Rhodes sailed on La Touraine, which started Feb. 6 for a Mediterranean tour. On Feb. 14, when he arrived at Lisbon, Mr. Rhodes called on M. Robiera, who was Portuguese , commissioner to the world's fair. Mr. Rhodes showed M. Robiera many courtesies while he was In Chicago.

EGYPTIAN PLOTTERS. Enemies of the Khedive Fomenting an Uprlslnic of Natives. PARIS, Feb. 20.-Rumors of an unsatisfactory nature as to the condition of affairs in Egypt are causing uneasiness here. A special dispatch from Cairo says that the friendly natives assert that an uprising of the natives will take place on the 26th of this month, during the Ramadan, the great annual feast of the Mohafnmedans, which lasts during the day for a month. The uprising, the dispatch says, has been foretold In Mohammedan fanatical circles. A private letter, from Cairo states that threats of vengeance are freely uttered. A change In the garrison ' that has Just occurred is considered to favor the chances of public disturbance, while the large influx of Bedouins into the outskirts of the city during the last few weeks is regarded as a disquieting feature. All these symptoms vividly recall those that heralded the massacres in 1882. , For some time past one of the Khedive's proteges, whose patriotIsm had been stimulated by dismissal from the government services for peculation, has been busy among the Bedouins distributing Khedival largesse and recruiting a body guard for the Khedive's person. That the dangerous agitation has been artificially provoked is evident from the contrast Alexandria presents to the complete tranquillity and contentment prevailing throughout the rest of Egypt since the formation of the Ministry of Nubar Pasha. The Journal Des Debats, commenting on the situation In Egypt, asserts that in the European chancelleries there is no readiness to admit the existence of a British protectorate in Egypt," The Journal insists that the task of .France is to rouse continental Europe so that it will give unmistakable evidence tht Us vniathy is with Egypt as against Great Britain. , Germany's Anti-American. LONDON, Feb.- 20. A dispatch to the Times from Berlin says that at to-day's sitting of the Economic Reform Association a . resolution was adopted declaring that the commercial treaty of 1828 between Prussia and the United States and the other treaties of the United State3 with the various German states were not binding on the empire, which In future treaties has taken better precautions to safeguard tts interests.

Will Not Redeem Bonds to the Amount of $150,000. IRONWOOD, Mich., Feb. 20. It has been decided, although informally, by the Mayor, city attorney and nearly all of the officials in this city to repudiate the last issue of Ironwood city bonds, amounting to $150,000. About a year ago the city sold bonds in that amount to Coffin & Stanton, of New York, who are now said to be in bankruptcy. The bonds were delivered to the firm on the payment of $25,0O) in cash. No pecurlty whatever was required for the fulfillment of the agreement, and the balance is still unpaid. The bonds are in the hand3 of men in New York, Boston and London, and a strong fight will be made by them to enforce payment. The city officials claim that the election at which the issuance of the bonds was authorized was not legally called. Judge Dillon, of Boston, was retained by the city some time ago, but declares that if the bonds are in the possession of innocent holders they must .be paid. Senator Vilas has been retained in behalf of the city. GEE AT LOSS OF LIFE 2,000 CHINESE SAID TO HAVE BEEN KILLED BY AN EXPLOSION.

It is also reported here that an explosion which recently occurred In the magazine of the forts of Takao, a treaty port dn the southwestern coast of the island, and was at first understood to be of a comparatively trivial character, was terrible in its results.

A Flowery Kingdom Edict. NEW YORK, Feb. 20. The North China Herald of Jan. 4, received per last mail, has the following: "An extraordinary edict has been kindly furnished us as com.ng from official circles in Peking. Weng Tung Ho, Li Hung Tsao and Wen Ting Shih memorialized the Emperor lately, suggesting the removal of the capital westward. In reply the young Emperor is said to have issued an edict, the substance of which was this: " 'When we first took charge of the affairs of the empire it was our intention to introduce many reforms. Suddenly and unexpectedly the Japanese have broken the peace, taken away our Corean dependency, and taken possession of the borders of our empire. We have sent out generals with three armies to punish the Japanese and drive them away, but we never intended to disturb the peace of the Japanese empire. This our ancestors and foreign nations all know. Little did we expect that the generals were incompetent and the soldiers insubordinate, so that the Japanese gained victory after victory and place after place, till our ancestors in their very graves are disturbed. This is because we are unworthy and have employed unfit men. If,, however, the worst comes and the Japanese get the sacred altars, then there remains nothing for us but to perish with them. When that time comes may you reverently escort the Empress dowager westward and elect a worthy man to be Emperor, and to look after the sacred altars of our ancestors and wipe off this disgrace.' "It appears that this edict was issued to those within the palace precincts nearly a month ago, but has just become known outside." More Money Needed by Japs. YOKOHAMA, Feb. 20.

LAST OF THE MLUI1S DEATH AND BURIAL OF SAS-SA-QI AS AN OLD INDIAN CHIEF. Was a Centenarian and the , Only KuIl-IJIoodel Representative of Ills Once Famous , Tribe. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., Feb. 20. Sas-sa-quas, chief of the Miamis and the last of his race, died at the reserve iast week, ssed about one hundred years. His death obliterated the original Miami 'Indians in Indiana. Chief Sas-sa-quas,- better known as Jim Sassafras, spent his early days in this county, the principal village of fhe tiibe being on the present site of Kokomo. Chief Sas-sa-quas was a direct descendant i f Little Turkey, whose defeat at Presqae Isle by General Wayne is memorable history. Sas-sa-quas became chief at 15S on , the death of Pete Cornstalk, whose remains repose under an unmarked mound on the banks of Pete's run, eight miles west "of this city. Sas-sa-quas himself Jailed four white settlers. It is told that on the death, of Cornstalk, Sas-sa-quas" predecessor, the latter hired two white men with team and wagon to haul the dead chiefs remains to this city for interment. The men, 'nst.jad of coming here with the remains as instructed. Interred the body in a seciuded stJt twenty miles west of town and roobed t of its ornaments, Sas-sa-quas, on learning of the deception, killed the robbers, braining them witn his tomahawK. Some uir.e later Sas-sa-quas killed two other men caug.it in the act of desecrating Indian graven and abstracting weapons and valuable relics. With the Miaims grave robb'ni; wn the most heinous offense recognised aid the ghouls were killed on sight. The city of Kokomo derives its name from Co-co-ma, a brother of Chief Sas sa c,uas, who was himself a chief. There were Ave Indian villages in this county . n the tanks of vv lldcat r.ver, Kokomo creek and .Pete's run. The last collision between the whites and Indians In this county was in 1844. One of the early settlers, James O. Fry, staked off a claim near the village of Jerome, in the center of what turn-jl out to be a large sugar camp uilon;ir? to the rdskins. This so enraged the Indians that they gathered up all the voting braves and began a raid of destruction. Cabins, fences, barns and other newly arected buildings were burned, and live stock was rounded up an driven into the Indian camps. Tho whites sued for peace and offered to pay for the land in dispute. i'h3 cn.ef proposed to relinquish ail claims to the land if the whites would give them a load of hay for their ponies. The hay was hauled into the Indian camp and peace and harmony was restored. Two years later the tribe, three hundred in number, was removed 10 the i ew reservation in Miami county. Chief Sas-sa-quas, wnosj life was polonged to round out a century, was well educated and an accurate hldtnan of his people. He was possessed of a mod physique and was noted for his feats of strength and powers of endurance. He was Duned Saturday In the Indian jemeter on the Godfrey farm. The chief was the last of the i,ld stock to pass to .he "happy hun.uig grounds." The others tiled years ago nd the younger ones have by intermar age with the whites blotted out nearly all trace of Indian blood. They are frugal and industrious farmers and good peaceable citizens, attending strictly to business and living up to the average type of civilization. Funeral of American Horse. NEW YORK, Feb. 20.

Father Chris, of St. Alp msus Church, attended the old man during his last illness and after his death on Sunday read prayers over the bxly. Tfcer3 were no other ceremonies except those held by a number of American Horse's le.atives and friends. These ceremonies were held by the Indians alone and they refzaid o say what had taken place, except that a to:uahawk had been placed in the coffin and that there had been a :hant m -.vhion cne of the men led. The ceremonies lasted about half an hour. In the room during the ceremonies were tne widow. Drooping tough, White Cloud, ner brother. White Cloud, jr., two other Indian men and women. When the coffin had been placed in the hearse White Cloud, nis son. Drooping Bo;vh end one of tne Indian women got into the only carriage in waiting and the small procession started for the cemetery.

He was said to have been a member of a Grand Army post FKUiUlUtK i)UU GLASS. (Concluded from First Page.) was continually active In the abolition movement and his supposed implication In the John Brown raid in 1859 led Governor Wise, of Virginia, to make a requisition for his arrest on the Governor of Michigan, where he was at the time, and in consequence Douglass went to England again, remaining six or eight months. He then returned to Rochester and continued publishing his paper. On the breaking out of the war Douglass at once urged on President Lincoln the employment of colored troops and the proclamation of emancipation. In 1S63 he assisted in organizing the Flftv-fourth and Fifty-fifth colored regiments of Massachusetts. In 1S70 he became editor of the New National Era in Washington, afterward continued by his sons Iewis and Frederick. In 1871 he was assistant secretary to the commission to Santo Domingo and on his return President Grant made him one of the territorial council of the District of Columbia. In 1872 he was elected presidential elector at large for the State of New York and appointed to carry the electoral vote of the State to Washington. In 1876 he was appointed marshal for the District of Columbia, retaining the office until 1881 and then becoming recorder of deeds in the District, from which office he was removed by President Cleveland in 1SS6. He then . revisited England for a time. After his return to, the United States he was appointed Minister to Hayti by President Harrison in 1883. He was sent to.Hayti in a United States man-of-war. He arrived in Haytl on Oct. 8, 1889, just as the country was emerging from one of the most exciting revolutions that country had witnessed for years. The government existing on his arrival was simply provisional and even after the new President took office there was some delay in the arrival and presentation of his credentials. These circumstances gave rise in the United States to presistent rumors that the Haytian government had refused to receive Mr. Douglass on account of his color. They were denied, however, and Mr. Douglass was finally warmly received. The Haytian ministry was the last position in the gift of the I'nited States held by Mr. Douglass. Ins 1892 Haytl made an appropriation of money for the Columbian exposition at Chicago, and appointed Mr. Douglass the senior of her two commissioners to the exposition. Since the close of the exposition. Mr. Ijouclass has lived on auletiv in Vah. Ington without engaging in any special business, his weaitn is variously estimated at from $100,000 to $200,000. His published works are "Narrative of My Experience In Slavery." "My Bondage and Mv Freedom," and "The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass." , - OTHER DEATHS. Mrs. W. Bourke Cockrun, Wife, of the .
