THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY, MARCH 4, 1895.

had built some splendid ship. Yet with reduced revenues the appropriations for the navy had steadily increased until this bill came to the Senate with a total appropriat'.on of about $31,000,000. The Senate' committee had reduced thi9 to what was still a liberal appropriation, and he appealed to the Senate to support the committee, when there was no possibility of paying for these three ships without selling more bonds or using the proceeds of those already sold. He knew, he said, that two great firms. Carnegie and Bethlehem, had taken great risk at the Instance of Secretaries Whitney and Tracy, to invest millions In naval steel plants, and he appreciated the fact that they had not yet recouped. But what the Senate committee had recommended was all that could be prudently done at this time. A concurrent resolution looking to the participation of Congress in the ceremonies attending the dedication of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Park, ' coming over from the House, was, on motion of Mr. Palmer, of Illinois, concurred in by the Senate. Mr. Ilunton. of Virginia, hoped that the ravy would never be made a party issue. He believed the people of the United States would expend money for enlarging the navymore cheerfully than for any other purpose. At this point. Mr. Call, Democrat, of Florida, presented the third conference report on the Indian appropriation bill, again a disagreement on two Items one touching contract schools and the other relating to the Ogden, New York Iand Company purchase and a further conference was or flered. i ' : - " ' Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts.- argued in favor of the three battle ships provided for by the public. Russia,- with-a -small fleet of battle ships in- Japanese waters, to-day, could dominate the victorious: fleet of Japanese cruisers. Mr. Lodge paid a high- compliment in the course of his remarks to Senator Chandler, whom he described as the pioneer of our newnayy. a man who had broken down old and vicious practices, repairing of old wooden hulks, bad administration and other abuses, and had started to build the first steel ships. We should, not confine our apprehensions as to war to Great Britain. A new star had arisen in the East, and the remarkable ' prowess and ' achievements of - the Japanese fleets had aroused the keenest IntereFt among students of national affiairsJ To-day Japan was the greatest enemythat England must face in the East. The best guarantee of y-ce was the possession by us of a fleet . ..nerlcally so strong as to Insure our success. AGAINST THE DREIBUND. Mr. Higglns, of Delaware, made an earnest plea for -a. considerable extension of the Tiavy, both from considerations of national pride and security, and from its beneficial effects on our foreign commerce. When tho Inevitable "man-on-horseback" again made his appearance In France that country would rush to war. : The United ; States made part of the European balance of power, and we would be affected in spite of ourselves, and perhaps without a single aspiration In common with ' either the United States would be found siding with ItussU and France and at enmity with Great Britain and the Dreibund. Mr. Proctor, Republican, of Vermont, took occasion to say a few words in support of land defenses as opposed to ships from the point of economy. The perfection of dynamite and other high explosives was destined to work a greater revolution . in naval matters than did the building of the monitor. American Invention would poon devise means to propel against war phips seeking i to attack forts charges of dynamite large enough- to destroy them

with certainty. He believed the committee had acted very "wisely in reducing the number of projected battle ships. Mr. vllas .of Wisconsin said that Great . Britain was the only nation that could compete with us fairly in a naval contest. Our navy was to-day stronger than it had ever been save in time of actual war. We now had forty-nine ships almost complete, Borne of them the best of their class in the world. We ought not to go on lavishing millions on the great hulks of battle ships lor the purpose of making a show. This proposition was driven forward by the Iron and steel interests, - backed by jingoism and stimulated by magazine articles representing the bombardment and destruction of our coast cities. A furtner reinforcement was lent by our naval officers, anxious, as they were, to expand their commands and their importance. At this point Mr. Cockrell of Missouri, presented the conference report on the sundry civil appropriation bill. Mr. Frye expressed regret' at the action of the conference relative to the retirement of the revenue marine officers,' being a distinct discrimination against and an injustice to those officers. Mr. Cockrell remarked that "it was that or nothing." Mr. Stewart of Nevada uttered a warning against the projected monetary " conference, holding that was a device of the enemy to defer the -5 ay- when silver should be rehabilitated.Mr. Woloott of Colorado defended the monetary conference amendment as it was reported, holding that the House amendment relative . to the appointment of the House members of the conference by the next Congress should be concurred In. . He and his colleague had been attacked in the newspapers of their own mate as untrue to sliver, for stabbing silver -in the back. Wnatever might be the reason for those criticisms he should , be glad that in these closing days of the Congress he had thi opportunity to attempt to reach out and seek to induce and help and meet the nations of the world in a, final effort to do away with the poverty, and suffering and paralysis which had overtaken humanity. The conference report on the sundry civil appropriation bill was then concurred in and the naval bill came again. Mr. Gorman renewed his request for a .final vote on the naval bill prior to 10 o'clock to-night, and that after that hour business be limited to conference reports. House bills and Senate bills with House amendments. This agreement was entered into, by unanimous consent, and after passing," with an amendment, a House bill appropriating JT0,000 for the payment of salaries of judges . and court officers in Oklahoma, at 6 o'clock p. m.. a recess was taken until 8:30 o'clock. A new amendment was adopted remitting the penalties against the builders . of the Yorktown, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Newark. The naval appropriation bill was then -passed without division. ; Mr. Blackburn presented another conference report on the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill, stating that no agreement had been reached on the Hawaiian cable and no prospect that the House would ever yield. The bill would fail, he said, if the Senate persisted on 1 the vote about to be taken in keeping the cable appropriation in the bill. He believed also that the bill will be doomed to failure even if the two houses acquiesced In the bill. Mr. Hawley qulcklv asked if it were meant to intimate that the President would veto the bill. "I am not able to say," replied Mr. Blackburn, "that the President would veto, hut I know that if I were the President 1 would veto It." Mr. Blackburn warned the Senate that nnother insistence on the cable might mean an extra session. He thought perhaps that . might be desirable as he believed it would phow the next Congress as helpless In dealing with the financial question as this Congress, has been. He moved that the Senate recede from the Hawaiian cable amendment. Mr. ; Blackburn's motion to recede was then put to vote and carried without a division. The conference report on the diplomatic and consular bill was then agreed to. The Senate then went Into executive session and the galleries cleared of the large crowds. At 8:30 the Senate galleries were filled to overflowing, great crowds standing in line In the corridors seeking to get inside. The attendance of Senators was small and scattering early in the evening.-but was augmented to nearly its full strength as the time for the Jnal vote on the naval bill drew near. Mr. Chandler supported the amendment providing two battle ships. In view of his service as Secretary of the Navy, his . review of the development of the new navy waa followed with close interest. At that time, ho said, we were spending about ?ir,00.000 annually for the 'improvement of the navy, now our expenditures reached $25,000,000 annually for that purpose, and'ho hoped it would be continued. " Mr. Hawley. Republican, of Connecticut, urged the need of being ready for war. There was no knowing when it would come. It was possible any day that some stubborn nation might lay her hands on Hawaii, compelling us to say '.'hands off." At 10 o'clock the vote was taken on the amendment fixing the number of battle ships at two instead of three, and it was agreed to 33 to 29, as follows: Yeas Allen, Allison. Bate, Berry, Blackburn, Call. Camden, Chandler, Cockrell, Cullom, Daniel. Faulkner, Gorman. Gray, Harris. Jones of Arkansas, Kyle. Lindsay, McMillan. Martin, Mitchell of Wisconsin, Mori ill. Palmer, Peffer. Pettigrew, Proctor, Pugh. , Ransom. Roach, Teller, Vest, Vilas and Walcott. Total. S3. Nays Aldrlch. Blanchard. Burrows, Butler. Cameron, Carey, Clark. Dubois, Frye, Gibson, Gordon, Hale, Hawley, Higglns, Hoar, Hunton, McLaurin, Manderson, Mitch- ' ell of Oregon, Morgan. Murphy, Perkins, Piatt, Quay, Squire, Stewart. Walsh, Wright, Wilson of Washington. Total. 29. The provision striking out twelve torpedo boats and inserting six light-draught composite gunboats of about 1,000 tons displacement at $230,000 was agreed to. Another provision for three torpedo boats, one to be built on the Pacific coast, one on the Mississippi river and one on the Gulf of Mexico, was also adopted. t The executive session lasted until 1:53 a. m., when the doors were opened and the regular stssion resumed. The conference agreement on the deficiency bill was presented and created opposition. Mr. Stewart criticised the abandonment of the appropriation for the Southern Pacific and Mr. HigginB criticised the abandonment of the j French spoliation claims, - Ur. Mitchell, Republican, of Oregon, de

clare! that he Senate had surrendered everything, and he hoped the Senate would reject the report, and, if need be, defeat the bill. Mr. Brice, one of the conferees, also urged that the bill be defeated. The agreement was sustained 37 to 14. The names of Senators Teller, Jones, Daniel and Allison were put forward by their respective friends. The mention of Mr. Allison's name brought that gentleman to his feet with the statement that he did not desire to be selected as a member of another conference. He, however, made a brief speech advocating the selection of conservative men and men who would represent all shades of opinion and the entire country. He contended that such a course would be in the real lntc-rest of silver, for if the commission chosen should be biased too much one way or the other, the country would not be satisfied with the report when made, whatever it might be. Senator Allrich followed in much the same strain. At 1:35 a, m. a motion was made in executive session that Jones, of Arkansas: Teller, of Colorado, and Daniel, of Virginia, be selected as delegates to the monetary conference. The discussion that followed was spirited. Senator Vilas led off in opposition to the selection of three pronounced silver advocates from the Senate, but confined his remarks largely to the construction of the provision under which they are to be appointed, contending that according to its wording that "Whenever the President shall determine that this government shall be represented at any International conference, etc.," neither the Senate nor House would be entitled to select representatives until the President should decide whether the House should be represented at the proposed conference. Senators Mitchell of Oregon and Wolcott contended to the contrary. Mr. Mitchell made the point that explicit provision was made for appointment by the Speaker of the present House, which, he claimed, was direct authority for present action by that body, and Imperatively so by the Senate. Senators Gray and Morrill sustained Mr. Vilas in his contention. The executive session closed at 1:30, and ended with the-selection of Senators Teller, Jones and Daniel by the unanimous vote of the Senate as Its representatives in the international conference. .

THE HOUSE RESUMES. Gen, Sickels Secures a. Pension for Gen. John A. MrCIernand. WASHINGTON, March 3. After the sharp fight last night over the Senate provision In the sundry civil bill appropriating $5,000,000 for the payment of sugar bounties earned up to June 30. 1895, which resulted in the adoption of that amendment by the House shortly after midnight this morning, the session dragged wearily on through silent watches of the night until the sundry civil and Indian appropriation bills had been sent back to conference.. As the gray dawn was breaking the House took a recess until 2 o'clock this afternoon, and the womout members hurried home to catch a few hours of -rest and nerve themselves for the next siege, which promised to last until to-morrow morning. When the Speaker again took the chair, at 2 o'clock, more than half the members were in their seats. . The bright sunshine and balmy air of a spring day, and the attraction of the excitement of the closing hours of a a dying Congress, drew thousands to the glittering marble pile which overlooks the city, and the corridors of the Capitol streamed with visitors who crowded by hun dreds into the public galleries. The private galleries were also thronged. No conference reports were ready when the House recon vened, and the Speaker graciously recognized several of the half -hundred members clamor ing for an opportunity to secure considera tion or measures of local and personal interest to them. The following were passed: Senate bill to Increase the pension of the widow of Gen. Joseph H. Potter from $30 to $50: a Joint resolution providing for the participation of the two house3 of Congress through their presiding officers In the dedicatory exercises of the Chickamauga Mili tary Park, next septemoer; senate resolution making provision for a digest of the laws and decisions relating to the appointment, salary and compensation of officers of United States courts, and , also Senate bill for the relief of Silas P. JK.eiier. Mr. Densmore, Democrat, of Arkansas, attempted to pass the bill to grant a right of way through the Indian Territory to the Arkansas & Nprth western railroad over, the President a veto, Dut nis motion was uefeated 154 to 96; the motion failing to secure the requisite two-thirds majority. SICKELS GROWS ELOQUENT. -A motion' to suspend the rules and pass a bill granting a pension of $100 to Maj. Gen. John A. McClernand encountered the aggressive opposition of Mr. Jones, Democrat, of Virginia. This opposition drew from Mr. Sickels, the . one-legged hero of Gettysburg, an eloquent appeal that fairly made the celling ring with the plaudits from the floor and galleries. "Let us pass one good bill," said Mr. Sickels, "as ah atonement for all the bad ones we have passed. A grateful country should not allow Gen. John A. McClernand to die in want. I well remember the words of Lincoln to me when he spoke of Douglas, Dix, Logan and McClernand. In my Mumble way I had offered my services for the Union, and Mr. Lincoln said to me that the action of such men as Logan, Dix and McClernand and myself had lifted a great burden from his shoulders. 'If this Is to be a party war,' said he, 'then it cannot sucseed. but when I see great Democratic leaders coming forward from the ranks I lift up my hands and thank God that. success is within our grasp.' " At the conclusion of Mr. Sickels's speech the bill was passed with a whirl. Mr. Allen, Democrat, of Mississippi, who la widely known as the wit of the House, by a characteristic speech which convulsed those present, managed to get through a bill granting 23,000 acres of land to the Industrial Institute for. Girls, situated at Columbus, Miss. A series of resolutions to pay funeral expenses of House employes who had died during this Congress, and a bill to instruct the auditing of the quartermaster's claims of John Quinn, of St. Louis, were passed, ' after which Mr. Holman called up the second conference report on the Indian appropriation bill, which showed that the Senate had abandoned the item to appropriate $48,500 for the Miami Indians of Indiana, thus leaving two Senate amendments still in dispute one to purchase for $300,000 from the Ogden Land Company the title to the lands within the Cattaraugus and Allegheny Indian reservations in New York, and the other striking out the House provision to continue the reduction of the appropriation for contract Indian schools proportionately so that all such appropriations should cease at the end of five years. After some debate the House decided ' to further Insist on its disagreement to both amendments in dispute, and the bill - was again sent to conference. Then, at 6:10 p. ni a recess was taken until 7:30 p. m. SILVERITES FEAR A TRAP. There were but few , members present when the House met after recess at 7:30 o'clock. The bill to prohibit the sale of intoxicants to Indians, which had been objected to when brought up before, "was called up by Mr.' Meiklejohn and passed. At 8 o'clock the conference report on the sundry civil bill was called up by Mr. Sayers. When the proposition for an international conference (to which the House conferees had acceded) was reached, the silver men demanded time. Mr. Sibley called attention to the satisfaction with which the opposition for a monetary conference had been received by the monometallic press of the East on the ground that it might lead to some adjustment by which the silver could obtain a larger legitimate use. The friends of silver. Air. Sibley declared, had held the doctrine that a wider use of silver was necessary because they saw the curses that had followed the falling of prices the world over. What the United States should do is to act, not consult, and Mr. Sibley expressed the opinion that a monetary confe eace would sirr.pl postpone the day when silver could go to the mints for free coinage on the same terms with gold. Mr. Simpson said the proposition for a conference was the same old game, twice played on the people, of holding out a promise that would never be realized. It would postpone free coinage. At least six more years of gold standard would so complete the financial bondage of the country as to make It forever impossible to break the power of tho gold bugs. He was opposed to again entering in the farce of a monetary conference. Mr. Pence, in a ringing speech, argued that no good could come from a monetary commission. "Possibly," said he, "it might result if the Speaker should name as the members of the committee from the House three presidential candidates, In smoking them out on the silver question. "And I trust," he continued, "if the Speaker be called on to make selections, he will not overlook the distinguished Republican leader. Mr. Reed." With some bitter sarcasm he detailed the history of the address of the silver Democrats Issued last Friday. He commended the bold, courageous and manly action of those who had signed the address, but rebuked some of them for already looking with favor on a proposition to go abroad for further consultation. Mr. Springer called Mr. Pence's attention to the fact that this proposition for a con ference naa emanated from the Biiver men in the benat not from the gold men. Mr. Hepburn. Republican, of . Iowa, fav ored the proposition for a conference. At

a time when the great gold countries of the world were showing the first symptoms of favor towards silver he expressed his surprise that avowed friends of silver like Mr. Pence and Mr. Simpson should oppose a proposition for an international confer- . ence. Bv a neat parliamentary maneuver Mr. Sayers immediately cut off debate by' demanding the previous question. The conference report was adopted and the sundry civil bill was out of the way so far as the House was concerned. Several bills were then hurried through by unanimous consent, including the" following: To authorize the Dyersburg & Mississippi railroad to construct a bridge across the Obion river, Tennessee; and Senate resolution calling on the President to insist on Spain carrying out her agreement with the United States relative to the claim of Antonio Maxim Mora, amounting to $2,500,000. At 10 p. m., Mr. Holman presented the final report on the Indian appropriation bill. It showed that the Senate had yielded to "the House on the provision for the extinction of the contract school system at the end of five years so as to remove the time limit and the House had yielded to the Senate amendment for the purchase from the Ogden Land Company title of the lands within the Cattaraugus and Allegeny Indian reservations to the extent of authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to examine into the report to Congress witlvout appropriating any money." The report was agreed to. The military telegraphers bill was passed 184 to 72. Then a resolution was presented by Mr. Bailey, Den-ocrat, of Texas, reciting the provision of the sundry civil bill authorizing the Speaker of the House to appoint three delegates to a bimetallic conference and continuing, "it is the earnest desire of the House of Representatives that the Speaker shall be one of the delegates on the part of the House. Therefore, be it "Resolved, That Charles Crisp, Speaker of the House of Representatives, is hereby requested to designate himself as one of the three delegates to be selected by him." The reading was greeted with great applause, the members interrupting the reading clerk In their enthusiasm at the mention of the Speaker's name and the resolution conferring a most unusual compliment on the Speaker was adopted with a loud shout and without a dissenting voice. The Senate bills to establish regulations for the payment of accrued pensions to the heirs of dead pensioners and exempting the pension money from being held as part of the assets of the estates for the payment c? debts were passed. Mr. McCreary, Democrat, of Kentucky, reported for the House conferees on the

diplomatic and consular bill, that the Senate had receded from its amendment for a Hawaiian cable and the conferees were consequently discharged. Midnight was at hand, and the scene In the House was becoming more animated and informal. The entrance of Mr. Reed, Mr. Apsley, et aL, late diners out, who were In full evening dress, gave an air of elegance to the assembly. Mr. Bryan, of Nebraska, moved to pass the bill to place unti-toxin on the free list under suspension of the rules. A second was demanded and ordered. A humorous debate was participated in by Messrs. Ray, Republican, of New York, and Henderson, Republican, of Illinois, who did not wish to commit the country to the "animal torturing business," and was interrupted for the presentation of the conference report on the general deficiency bill bv Mr. Breckinridge. The provision for the expenses of participations in contested election cases gave rise to an animated debate, in which Messrs, Sayers, Wrlse and Taylor took part. The Senate provision for the payment of Southern war claims and that for the payment of certified claims for sea pay were also stricken out. After further discussion the conference report on the whole general deficiency bill was agreed to. The debate on thev anti-toxin bill was then renewed. ) Mr. Bryan. Democrat, of Nebraska, urged the importance of .the measure, and said it was in the interest of public affairs. WORK OF THE CONFEREES. aiembers ol the Senate . Object to Plan of the Silver Men. WASHINGTON, March 3. The conferees on the sundry civil appropriation bill, after sitting for several hours, reached an agreement about 5 o'clock to-day on the items remaining unsettled after the first conference. The Senate conferees agreed to recede from the following Senate amendments: For the purchase of the Blaine property in Washington; to enable the government to participate in the proposed Nashville Centennial Exposition, and appropriating $125,000 for that purpose; for the cost and charges of State penitentiaries, and striking out the House provision that the money; expended for the maintenance of military convicts "shall be expended in the current support of military convicts," leaving the provision as it came from the House; also, from the Senate amendment striking out the provision for the transformation of the military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., into a United States penitentiary, leaving the provision as originally made by the House. The other amendments on which there was a disagreement after the first conference were substantially agreed to. Verbal changes, however, were made in all of them rhe amendment providing for a retired list for incapacitated officers of the revenue-cutter service was accepted by the House conferees with the provision that the retired officers should receive only one-half or the pay as If on active duty. In the clause of the same amendment authorizing the President to convene a board to pass on the infirmities of candidates for-retirement the phrase "from time to time, as he may deem proper," is stricken out. The amendment providing for a board of engineers to investigate the feasibility of the proposed Nicaraguan canal was changed so as to require the board to make Its report not later than Nov. 1. The House accepted the amendment appropriating $4,000 for the Zhentot ,CoL F- G- Ainsworth, chief of Record and Pension office, for the expenses incurred by him in the legal proceedings growing out of the Ford's Theater The House conferees also accepted the amendment providing the means of selecting members or the proposed international monetary conference with an amendment lodging the selection of the House memf ?u the commission " with the Speaker of the present House and providing that the delegates selected by him shall be members from the Fifty-fourth Congress. The K'3. on. ertfd by the Senate in the th X Cl Ior, Vne appointment by the Senate of three of its members as delegates to the prospective international monetary conference has been the cause of considerable rivalry among the factions on 5? il th u Democratic and Republican side or the chamber as to representation on the commission. From the time the amendment! was voted on by the Senate the silver men believing themselves to be in the majority the Senate, have assumed that they would be allowed to name all three of the Democrats on the part of the. Senate and this privilege was apparently at first conceded to them by the anti-silver men. Consequently when a paper was circulated last night asking Senator Jones of Arkansas, Daniel of Virginia. Democrats, ard Teller of Colorada, Republican, all freecoinage advocate!, to allow the use of their names for the positions of delegates, there was comparatively little objection heard. The paper was generally signed by the silver men and by several Senators who are not Included in that classification. Some of the anti-silver men declined, however, to attach their names and it was not long until a murmur arose against the programme to select none but silver men from the Senate and this soon grew into an animated protest on the part of the silver antagonists, some of whom. In view of the fact, as they asserted, that the Senate is almost evenly divided on the silver question, was not choice in the words they used in private conversation in regard to the disposition shown by the silver men . to claim the entire representation on the committee. Senators Vilas . and Gray led the movement against a solid silver delegation on the Democratic side and while they were not supported by many Democratic Senators they found a somewhat more extensive following among anti-silver Republicans. They claimed that either Daniel or Jones should give way to some such man as Allison, Republican, or Gorman. Democrat, and at one time threatened to defeat tho amendment in conference unless their wishes should be acceded to. Failing in this they renewed the campaign in the Senate. There were, of course, conferences between the! contending interests when the anti-silverites confessed that it was their purpose to secure representation on the senatorial delegation or throw the selection of the entire commission in the hands of the President. It was 11:15 p. m. to-night when the conferees emerged from the conference room, where they had been for the greater part of the last four hours trying to compromise the differences between the two houses. There still remained, however, a few items on which an agreement had not been reached, but the conferees felt that the bulk of the work had been disposed of and stated that a report would not bo long delayed. The conference resulted . in a general triumph for the House in a majority of the amendments made by the Senate. Large appropriations were receded from by the Senate managers. The House conferees took a positive stand against even reporting a disagreement on the amendments which they opoosed. Chairman Sayers informed the eonfertnce that he had enough experience of that kind for one session with the sugar bounty claims, and that he wo-'ld not again take such a risk. Among the

square in Washington as a site for the government printing office, providing for the payment of - the war claims of the States of California, Oregon and Nevada, the claim of Delaware and the Southern Pacific and French spoliation claims. Among5 the amendments agreed to were those making appropriations for army transportation and for the territorial courts of Utah. The matter of allowing an extra month's pay to clerks of members of the . House was modified so as to require that the clerks shall be required to perform a month's service after the adjournment of Congress.

No sooner had the House agreed to the plan for appointing delegates to a possible bimetallic conference than members on both sides began a canvass looking to an agreement on cana.uate3 to recommend for the Speaker's consideration. It was generally understood that two of the delegates to be named wxiuld be selected from the Democratic side of the House and one from the Republican. The Populist contingent had already informed the Sneaker that it was opposed to the plan, and did not care to be represented at such conference. Two petitions were started on the Republican side, one for Mr. Hltt, of Illinois, and the other for Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa. The Hltt petition was circulated by Mr. XV. A. Stone, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Hitt's qualifications and his experience as a diplomat and legislator and his conservatism on all public questions were urged. The Hepburn petition was in charge of Mr. Hartman, of Montana, and was simed by nearly half the Republicans In half an hour. Mr. Hepburn had experience in the treasury during the Harrison administration, and is a pronounced friend of silver, but one who is said to believe in international bimetallism rather than free coinage by this government independently. Speaker Crisp is listed as a free silver man, and there was much surmise whether he would designate two freesilver Democrats, or one of that faction and one opponent of free silver, or possibly two members who stand on middle ground. Representative McCreary, having ably served on one conference of the character of the one contemplated, was much talked of. Representative Sayers, chairman of the appropriations committee; Catchings, of Mississippi, and Turner, of Georgia, were also mentioned. Gen. McClernand Growing; Weaker. SPRINGFIELD. III., March 3. General McClernand' s condition is worse to-day than at any time since, his illness began. Last night he did not rest well, and has constantly grown weaker. , HUGE CHECK SWINDLE. Daring? Operators Work from Omaha to Suit Lake. DEVER, Col.. March. 3. One of the most systematic and Ingenious check ' raising swindles ever successfully tried in America has ' just been unearthed in this city, the victim being the Unon Pacific Railroad Company, nearly every bank in Denver and several dry goods and other houses.,The methods show the swindlers to be masters as daring as they are dishonest. Early last month the Union Pacific pay car left Omaha on its regular monthly tr'.p to Salt Lake City with the wages of the company's employes. Closely following the car came a gang of check raisers and Its members left the marks of their skill in nearly every town where Union Pacific employes , reside. The full extent of their operations is not yet fully known but enough has leaked out to show that the. check raisers have netted thousands of dollars by this swindle. The full force of the Union ., Pacific detective corps is at work on the case as well as the police authorities in Denver and all the other towns along' the line. The gang visited the hotels and saloons most frequented by railroad men, where a large Eortion of the checks had been cashed, and ought them up for cash. In value trie chec-Ks ranged from $10 to $100, but every one was skillfully raised to $110 and passed for that amount at banks and stores. In every instance the raised check was tendered for some small purchase so that the gang got nearly the entire amount in cash, in Denver the checks ultimately reached different city banks where they were pronounced all right and forwarded to Omaha. The Union Pacific auditor then passed all the $110 checks as being O. K. Wnen the returned checks were compared with the stubs of the check book the fact . became apparent that the checks had been tampered with and work at once commence:? hv.the railroad detectives. It is supposed that tut ; gang worked west to Salt Lake and then escaped to the coast. . RIDER. HAGGARD'S FORECAST. In One of Ills Kovels He Portrays a : Wreck Like That of the Elbe. An English paper draws attention to a curious and, in a manner, instructive forecast of the immeasurably sad calamity which befel the steamship Elbe a few weeks ago, to be found in Rider Haggard's novel, "Mr. Meeson's Will." In his preface the author says: "I believe the chapter which tells of the loss of the R. M. S. Kangaroo to be a fair and in the main an accurate account of what must, and one day. will, happen upon a large and crowded liner in the: event of such a collision as that described, or of her rapid foundering from any other cause; and it- is a remarkable thing that people who for the most part get a sufficient value on their lives daily consent to go to sea in ships, the boats of which could not on an emergency contain half their number." Turning to the description of the catastrophe, it is extraordinary how it reminds one of the details supplied by the survivors from the ill-fated Elbe. Exactly twenty minutes after the collision took place, and as the gray dawn was slowly breaking in cold and ghastly light upon the hideous scene of terror, the . Kangaroo sank, and, with the exception of some eight and twenty souls, all told, the hour had come of every living creature of the thousand who had taken passage In her. Many of the boats were never lowered at all, or sank as soon as lowered, and throughout the chapter teaches the unheeded lesson which might have saved the passengers on the doomed ship Elbe. ' . . ' The War of Japan. New York Recorder.' The approach to Yokohama harbor is very beautiful. In the distance Fujisan rears its perfect cone, snow-capped and distinctly seen, if a clear day, from far at sea. As the sun rising gilds the white cone with a rosy glow incomers get a vision something like the "Jungfrau blick" from Intelaken at sunset. On the other side of the steamer a volcano, which the sailors call "Fiery Jack," puffs out volumes of smoke. The queer-looking junks, the tiny fields on the shore, and. at close range, the jlnrlklsha men In rows, instead of cubbies, all present a strange and interesting panorama to the visitor. Japanese politeness always impresses the stranger at first with . the idea that the people are kinder at heart than they really are. Many people get from this surface politeness, which is at best only a manner, the Idea that the Japanese are nearly perfect. As a matter of fact, of course, they are men and women,- and much like others of this variable race elsewhere. An Ohio man once landed in Japan to fill some consular or diplomatic office. As native after native greeted him with the common salutation, "Ohayo!" or "honorable early," his amazement grew, until at last he burst out: "How the dickens did these Japs know I came from Ohio?" - Self-depreciation is the Japanese idea of politeness in speech. Thus -Dr. Clark tells a story of a friend whose servant asked him one day, with a very low. bow: "Will my most worthy master suffer h's most humble servant to visit the honorable bath, that he may wash his filthy body?" Society o Longer Visits. Mrs. Burton Harrison, in Ladie3' Home Journal. "Calls having become in our busy life of great cities so perfunctory an obligation, many , people have seen fit to drop the attempt to make them except in cases where condolence or congratulation are in order. These cases demand the leaving of cards in person only; and so. visiting, for form's sake, is drifting out of vogue. So well is the difficulty of accomplishing all one's visits understood, that people of the world do not hold each other to strict account if a season passes without an interchange of cards. They simply meet somewhere and take up the thread dropped when they last met, months before, with perfect good temper. Against the Haiem. CHAMPAIGN.

FRANKLIN, Ind., March 3. A. M. Jelleff, a prominent young business man of this city, committed suicide to-day. The cause of the act is supposed to be despondency, brought on by adverse financial circumstances. He was engaged in the grocery business with Hon. W. L. Dunlap, the style of the firm being Dunlap & JellefC. They have conducted one of the largest grocery stores in the city. While business had been good, it did not come up to Mr. Jelleff's expectations, and he was last night quite despondent. He left his place of business afbout 11 o'clock, but instead of going to his home he went to the box office of the opera house, of which building he is manager, where he was found this morning in an unconscious condition. The- gas was turned on and , the room was full of gas, which was undoubtedly the cause of his death, although there Is a supposition that he might have also taken poison. He lived but a short time. Mr. Jelleff was widely known and a lead ing citizen. He waa thirty-five years of age, and waa an active, energetic young man. He was unmarried, and was a leader in society circles. He was a prominent member of the K. of P. order. He was universally liked, and his friends can scarcely believe that he took his own life. TIPTO.Y ELECTION FRAUDS.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FARMLAND, Ind., March 3. For several days the consumers whose lines are connected with the mains of gas company No. 1 have been annoyed because of a quantity of oil flowing through the pipes. In several homes the flow of oil has been so free that consumers were compelled to place a bucket under the mixer in order to catch the oil. The mains were opened this morning and a barrel of oil flowed from an inch pipe in less than twenty minutes. The well that produces the oil is located about one-half mile north of town and gives a strong assurance of containing an abundant supply of oil, which is found to be equal to any of the Indiana oil fields. It was rumored on the streets this afternoon that the company would take immediate steps to erect a derrick, preparatory to pumping. If the experiment proves satisfactory several other wells will be sunk immediately, which will add Farmland to the number of towns located in the great oil fileds of Indiana.

Thoughts About the New Woman and Her Misdirected Zeal. , Providence Journal. These are great days for the women who are afflicted with a quenchless zeal for reforming the world. They have gathered together at Washington, and are there enjoying themselves to the full In offering resolutions and making speeches. They come from all over the country and they talk on every possible topic. Some of them deliver "five-minute addresses" and some of them speak, for an hour at a time. In every case they have convictions and the courage of them. They have the posltlveness of belief if not the certainty of knowledge. There Is much to be said for so happy a frame of mind as this. It ought to content the new woman to find that she knows so much, that she can penetrate into mental labyrinths where man finds difficulty in following her. Yet we doubt If she is contented. In the words of one of the speakers at the council in Washington the once gentle sex is "running to and fro in all the earth" as never before. It may be that all his hurry forbids contentment, which H, after all, a passive sort of virtue, and, therefore, not likely to attract the new woman at all. Indeed, much of the energy which these declaimers against the denial of suffrage, "rum," tobacco and other evil show Is reminiscent of Macbeth'a characterization of life as "full of sound and , fury, signifying nothing." It is still to be shown that the race has beens benefited practically by any of the achievements of the Shrieking Sisterhood. These women are like the young ladies who in the early years of the century ued to play that thunderous show piece. "The Battle of Prague." They thumped away with vigor, but it was only a sham battle at best. Of the same sort, too, must have been the performance of Mrs, Ponto's governess when she described with her fingers on the keys, "Such a Getting Upstairs." t The women at Washington get upstairs with a whoop, and then they go down and get up again, with a little more noise than before. Just what they are driving at we can't for the life of us see. But they must know themselves. At least we hope they do. A few of the th!ng3 that the New Woman is after are catalogued in a rather rhetorical fashion by one of the speakers at the council. "The poison habits of drink and narcotics and the rioting fever of lust" are to be downed by denunciation. Man. in his blind and feeble way. has been struggling wi;h social problems for centuries trying to make the world better so far as he can, and thinking, perhaps, some meas- ' ure of success had already been achieved. But the New Woman sweeps his flimsy pretenses aside. "There is promise for the future," the speaker tells us, "because woman is rising to the knowledge that she is part of the orlginhJ plan of creation; that, in spite of ancient record, the dictum of the church, the decisions of law, and declarations of society, she was no more made for man than man was made for her; the duality of sex Is written throughout the universe, and neither has precedence over the other." It is quite right that she should rise and do her part in advancing public morality. Hut sometimes misdirected zeal does more harm than good. The New Woman should bear Ihis in mind while she is "running to and o in all the earth." Du Maurler's Mistake. New York Advertiser. George Du Maurler Is reported from London to be working day and night on a new novel in order to be in time for the "Trilby:' craze and public, before it has settled down to ordinary things again.' In the intervals of labor he uses very cho.ee language, ad dressed to mmselr, and his stupidity for not acceptir.fi royalties ou "Tn?by." Although.

as most people know, a publisher offers 10 per cent, royalty, they otTered Du Maurier 130 per cent., a very unuvual confession that they had something good. But the author refused to accept the terms. "Give me 1,000 down and you mav have the thing for America," he said. Naturally Harpers accepted, and now Du Maurier acknowledges with extreme good nature under the circumstances that he has thrown away a fortune. Had he accepted the offer he would by this time have received, at a low esti

mate, say $30,000 for his- American royalties. or at a high estimate $50,000. perhaps more. witi iie iias receiveu tor a oook wnicn nas set the whole English speaklnvr world a-prattling Is $5,000.

Washington Star (Ind.) One of the remarkable features of recent political campaigns has been the tinplate discussion, in which on one side it has been insisted that such a thing as American tin plate never did exist and probably never would, while on the other the declarations were emphatic to the effect that tin plate was being successfully and extensively manufactured in several places in the United States. There is no campaign on just now, so this is a good time to call attention to a report by our cousul at Cardiff, South Wales; a report in which he says that the tin-plate industry in that country once the only source of supplyif, about gone. The consul quotes a Welsh newspaper which says: "The American tin-plate works, which it was thought would have to stop, are going on- as vigorously as ever, competing for and often securing orders which formerly came to this country. Their position nas aciuauy nmnuvu cently. inasmuch as . they . have obtained a reduction in wages of about 30 per cent., while in this country the strong effort made in the same direction has up tothe present time proved futile, except in a few isolated cases; Probably the most striking feature of the year's trading has been the seriously diminished call for terncplates from the United States, the native works being equal to supplying almost the whole of that lmportannt trade." . ... Such testimony as this sems to indicate at least that American tin Pjate not wholly a creation of the imagination and to point to an ultimate verdict favorable to American resources.
