This is -s;.-c:ally tru of th; bills "to correct" a military iecor-1, which gntraliy means tin; removal t the charge of tlcsf-rtion. Tht military affairs committee, to whom MJ-.h bills aic rtfVrrr!, is adverse to this class of legislation, and several members of thi Indiana delegation have lecn so Informed. It is held that there Is alra!y ample leical remedy for men whose departure from the army, while irregular, was Uamcltss. Ialjes, it is thought that too Ion; a period has elapsed between the desertion anl the present day to make it practicable to correct records. Even the few bills which will receive favorable consideration from the committee will encounter almost inevitable defeat in the House. There is too strong a feeling, irrespective of politics, on this question. The same is true, to a larpe measure, of pension bills. The committee on Invalid pensions will scrutinize these bills very closely, and everyone interested In the subject must have noted the very rmall number of pension bills that have been passed, uch bills are always reserved for the Friday ni?ht sessions, and, as there is rarely a quorum present on these occasions, it is the common practice for the Southern Democrats to detail one of their number every Friday to attend such session for the sole purpose of blocking legislation by calling attention to the absence of a quorum. The Indiana members are consequently writing to all such Inquirers telling them it Is almost useless to ask for the passage of either pension or "military' record" bills. IICNRY IS ITSIIIX; IT. trhe IndlanHpolIn Public IlullilliiK IUII ot Permitted to Sleep. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. The committee on public buildings and grounds will hold lta first meeting to-morrow.' The first session will be devoted to organization, but Chairman Milliken will thereafter push the work before the committee energetically. Mr. Henry has arranged with Mr. Milliken that the Indianapolis public building bill shall be one of the first measures to be considered, and he hopes that in a few days a date can be fixed when the committee representing the various commercial bodies and the citizens- of InJianapolls will be given a hearing before the committee. He is also making inquiries among the members of the committee as to the propriety of laying before that body an invitation from the citizens of Indianapolis to visit the city and satisfy themselves by personal observation of the need for better facilities. As soon as he learns the sentiment of the committee 0:1 the subject Mr. Henry will communicate with the Indianapolis committees, so that, if it is feasible, they may be prepared to extend the necessary invitation. The Lnte General Lnaaelle. Special to th Indianapolis JournaL WASHINGTON. Jan. 8.-Gen. William P. Lasselle, of the Washington, bar, who died at his home here yesterday morning, came wlth his father to th!3 city from Indiana, when the latter was appointed by President Taylor cne of the deputy auditors of the Treasury, and very soon became a page at the Capitol. His father published for a while In 1S47-9 a literary paper called the Capitol, his mother being the editor. While in Logansport, in 1551, the call for troops came. He enlisted at once in the Ninth Indiana and was chosen sergeant. He served with bravery throughout the war, rising with each battle, and was mustered out in as brigadier general. He had in 1853 been admitted to the bar of this District, and after the war he entered on the practice of law here. Iiut for the genial disposition which made him his own wor-t enemy, he could have ben among the leaders at the bar. Last week he fell on the street, the blow causing concussion of the brain, and he never recovered consciousness. OvertrtetM leiilnn Hill. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. Representative Overstreet will lose no opportunity to press Siis bill making a pension a vested right. The pension appropriation bill, which Is almost ready for presentation to the House, will probably contain a provision looking to .the accomplishment of the ?ame end, but there is every reason to loubt the possibility of the enactment of the bill in that thape. New legislation as a rider on an appropriation bill Is invariably forbidden by the Hbue rules, and the forthcoming rules of the Fifty-fourth House will not diiTer in that respect from all preceding parliamentary practice. The provision a It occurs In the pension appropriation bill will, accordingly, be challenged by a point of order, and there can be little doubt that it must be withdrawn. f'Mfttitln McKrf lven a Plnee.

The specific charge against him Is having a large Fin displayed in front of his store with the wr.rd "I'ostotnce" upon It. This is considered by the po-tal authorities to be one of the gravest offenses that can le committed aeainst their laws. Mr. Tourgee was appointed postmaster at West Williamslield by President Harrison and was removed two years ago by President Cleveland. He continjed, however, to operate a pnstothce. selling stamps and collecting mail which he delivered to the mail trains.

DAY FOR DEMOCRATS ( i:m:iik ations ix honor op jackson, tiii: l'AiiTvs 111:110. Speech ly Secretary ttt the Xavy Herbert nt .New York, nnd by Hoke Smith' nt Philadelphia. NKW YOHK, Jan. 8. The annual banquet of the Huslness Men's Democratic Association of New York was held at the Savoy Hotel to-night. Dinner was served at 7 o'clock in the newly decorated gold banquet hall. The decorations were simple. A huge picture of Andrew Jackson stood at the back of the guests' table. It was draped with American flags. The toastmaster was Theodore W. Myers. The toasts were: "Sound Money Necessary to Commercial Prosperity," Hilary A. Herbert, Secretary of the Navy; "The People's Hole in Polltics," Isadore Kayner; "The State of New York," ex-Gov. Itoswell P. Flower; "Our Finances," Joseph C. Hendricks; "The City of New York," Controller A. P. Fitch; "Patriotism and Partisanship," Thomas M. Waller, ex-Governor of Connecticut; "The Press," Amos J. Cummings. Secretary Herbert began his speech by a reference to the stand taken by President Andrew Jackson against the United States banks and the State banks, and spoke of him as the "unflinching friend of honest money that cheats no man, and as the irrlexible foe of a depreciated currency, which has always been the robber of the poor and despoiler of industry." Discussing the subject further, the speaker asserted that the most mischievous heresy that ever was instilled into the minds of voters in this land, the fundamental error that lay at the foundation of every argument now made for the unlimited coinage of silver, was the idea that Congress, and not commerce, controlled the values cf silver ajid gold. Our currency system, the Secretary said, must be reformed on sound principles. This reform can only be effected by getting a sound-money President and sound-money Congress at the same time. When the Issue now boldly tendered by the advocates of free silver shall . have been squarely and fairly accepted and the contest fought out to a finish, w hen not only a President whose views are not to be doubted, but a Congress about whose opinions in favor of sound money there can be no mistake, shall have been elected, then we shall have currency reform soma stable, self-executing system that will give us at all times a fair share of the money of the world. AT PHILADELPHIA. Secretary Hoke Smith Speaks on the Public Credit. rjIJLADEUPHIA. Jan. & The eightyfirst anniversary of the battle of New Orleans (Jackson day) was celebrated by the Young Men's Democratic Association tonight by a banquet In the big dining hall of the Bourse. About 200 men participated. Including many Democrats of State and national celebrity. Among the latter were Vice President Stevenson, Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith, United States Senator Faulkner, United States Treasurer Morgan, Commissioner of Patents Seymour, Congressman Hart and Deputy Pension Commissioners Murphy and Bell. Vice President Stevenson declined to make a speech, but he was given a most enthusiastic welcome. The first toast was "The memory of Jackson." which was drunk in silence and standing. Secretary Hoke Smith responded to "The Public Credit." He asserted that the country' was given a sound currency by a Democratic administration referring to Jackson's and it might be necessary, he said, to rely on a Democratic administration to pass legislation to maintain it. The sound money Democrats, he continued, are thoroughly sound, and If the next Democratic platform declares In unmistakable language on the subject there will be found few Democrats who will not heed the party's declaration. Secretary Smith nveiwed the record of the Democratic administration from March 4, to March 4. ISO. He said that It had paid off $i41.4H.O'j) of bonds and had left over $3,0W in the treasury in excess of gold roerve: while the Republican administra tion which followed paid off $2:8,00M00 of bonds, and. though finding a surplus in the treasury almost sunlelent for making the payments. It left the treasury practically empty, with the exception of the gold reserve, when turned over to the Democrats on March 4. Itt3. The Secretary ild there is a portion of this country whose people are as loyal to that tlas as Jackson was, and who would risk their lives as quickly to carry It in triumph over every foe. They are a little sensitive, because some from other sections now and then question their relation to the flag. They are especially proud of their ri;ht to celebrate the battle of New Orleans, for Jackson was born i i North Carolina on Southern soil. If the people where he was horn, where he lived and where he fought are a little Inclined to be "jingoes," It is only because they would prize an opportunity to cloe forever the voices of their critics, and by courageous action on the full add r.ew lustre to the flag. Senator Faulkner spoke on "The Democratic Party" and Robert K. Wright on "The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania." lHkonM Day lit HIh Old Home. NASIIVIL.LK, Tenn.. Jan. 8.

TROUBLE AT CARACAS

III IIU:S OF VEXEZIULAXS AHIlESTCn FOR POLITICAL ItEASOXS. Troop nntl Cnuiion Sent by llrltUh Cinlnna Into DUputed TerritoryDecree iMMued by Crenpo. NEW YORK. Jan. 8. The World to-mor row will ray: The four Caracas special cable dispatches dated, respectively, Jan. 4. 5, 6 and 7, In this morning's World, were delayed in Cuba by reason of the disturbances In that island and land wires having been destroyed by the insurgents. The Caracas dispatches follow: Jan. 4. Political arrests continue. They now number about 600. Ninety prisoners were removed to the military hospital. Jose Olavarria, brother-in-law of ex-Minister Matros, and Simon liarcellos, editor of America, are among the sick. The belief is increasing that the enemies of the government are being aided by Rritlsh gold. It is even rumored that England will fur nish the rebels with a war ship. The militia enlistments to date number ll.uw. In the case of boys under sixteen the authority of the parents is required. Among the applicants have been ten septuagenarians. Jan. 5. Political arrests continue to be made dally. The government prisons are full, and the polytechnic school has been converted into a prison, the students being transferred to the Academy of Fine Arts. Admiral Rutowsky, of the Venezuelan navy, has sailed with his flagship, the Augusto, carrying war supplies to the seaports on the west coast. There was a grand banquet at the American legation tonight. President Crespo wa3 to have presided, but illness prevented his attendance. He was represented by his secretary. General Nunez, who spoke olflcially for him. The United States minister made a conservative reply, which was received with enthusiasm. The guests numbered two hundred, among them being the archbishop, the members of the Cabinet, the Presidents of the diflerent States and all the government oflicials. The decorations were superb, the American and Venezuelan flags being conspicuous. The busts of Washington, Monroe. Cleveland and Bolivar were entwined with rare flowers. There were two bands of music. Jan. 6. President Crespo has Issued a remarkable decree officially recognizing the existence of the revolutionary movement. He says that in view of the fact that the country is on the verge of an international conflict he regards it not as revolution but as treason. Then he cites the section of the penal code declaring treason. He asks the Presidents of the different States to ratify his action, and he will also ask Congress to act. It is believed that Crespo's decree is aimed especially at Guzman Blanco or Pojas Paul, who are supposed to be treating with England in the Interest of the rebellion. The penal code says that any Venezuelan conniving with a foreign government against the Independence, the institutions or the sovereignty of the republic Is guilty of treason. It is rurrored that the leaders of the rebellion will te executed, as the decree asks for auihcrlty to Inflict the death penalty, which Is forbidden In Venezuela except In time of war or on occasions of imminent peril. liojas Paul Is at present on the English Island Trinidad. There was a big anti-English meeting here to-day. Jan. 7. President Crespo's decree regarding the revolution has caused a profound sensation. Copies in the shape of "flying sheets" are again being distributed by the police. What effect it will have is as yet uncertain. It Is severely commented on, and leading lawyers declare that it Is illegal. Another sensation has been created by the issue of an order prohibiting communication between ships and the shore. It is especially aimed at the American citizen Schimma, the agent of the Red D line at Laguayra. Captain Delano, of the Red D line steamer Philadelphia, made a protest to President Crespo this morning against the order. He said It stopped work on the vessel. The President replied that the order was necessary, but that he would try to except Americans. There is no ofllcial charge against Schimma. Something serious is brewing, but rumors are vague as to its character. The situation In alarming. A dispatch to the World from Caracas, dated Jan. 8, says: News of grave Import has Just been received from the Guayana frontier. The government is notified that troops, with rifles and cannon, from Demara have arrived at Cuyuni, a station at the extreme limit of the English claims in the disputed terrltorj. and the scene of the Yuruyan incident, where English officials were arrested by the Venezuelans. The number of Invaders is uncertain. Some of the papers- say there are over one thousand, but that is probably an exaggeration. They are possibly a few hundred Guiana police. The government gives no official notice as to what action it will take. It Is probable, however, that It will send some troops to the scene, with orders to be cautious, but at the same time to resist invasion. There is Joy over the English defeat In the Transvaal. Caracas was shaken by an earthquake last night. The shock was of considerable duration, but no serious damage is reported. Hrltnln Storing: Up Conl. NEW YORK, Jan. & A copyrighted cable from Color., Colombia, to the World says: Cable communications between the Isthmus and Cuba Is Interrupted. The isthmus pres3 denounces Kaiser William as lacking in the spirit of fair play toward the Venezuelans, while manifesting it toward the Boers, in that he supports England's Venezuelan policy and opposes .her claims of suzerainty over the Transvaal, though the principle in both cases Is Identical. It aids that with the Kaiser It Is a question of whose ox is being gored. The Barbadoes Herald reports that supplies of coal are being poured Into Saint Lucia, where the British naval station is located. One or two coal ships are arriving there every day. A Demerara newspaper says that, Jn the event of war between England and the I'nlted States, there mlsht no longer be any British Guiana ncr Dominion of Canada, but, on the other hand, might be a partition of the United States, and several presidents, where now there is only one. SnIUbnry Will Mnke n Statement. LONDON, Jan. 8.In regard to the pressure being brought by the Dally Chronicle, Mr. George W. Smalley, the New Yoik correspondent of the London Times, and others, urging the Marquis of Salisbury to publish the entire Venezuelan correspondence, the l'orefgn Office states that, while It wishes to do everything in its power, as consistently as it can. to furnish all the available matter that may tend to better the feeling between the two governments, it must be realized that the correspondence extends over lifty-flve years and Is In various languages. Therefore It Is not a matter which can be compiled in a few days. The statement of the Foreign Office ends with the remark: "You may state, however, that the Marquis of Salisbury is eneiaeed on the matter and that a full statement will be placed before Parliament as speedily as possible." Venexueliinn Still Excited. NEW YOHK, Jan. 8. The steamer Venezuela, Captain Hopkins, from Venezuelan ports, arrived at a late hour last night. The Venezuela sailed , from Laguayra on Jan. 1. She brings news that the greatest excitement prevailed throughout the country over the attitude of the United States government on the boundary auestion. Demonstrations were numerous In all the principal cities, iroops were constantly marching through the cities of Porto Cabello, laguayra and Caracas, and the Amer ican flag was carried Jn all the naradts. causing the wildest enthusiasm among the populace. 11 was rumored at Laguavra that the sum of $100,m,0n) was being raised bv the United States government o aid the Venezuelans in case war should be declared against Great Britain. Tlie Time Plenrift ivith Snllalinry. LONDON, Jan. 9. The Times this morning publishes an editorial with reference to the New York World's Caracas dispatch telling of suspicions that the British party in Venezuela is plotting to overthrow President Crespo, and pleads with the government, in presence of the danger of further troubles, to publish the papers setting forth the British case on the Venezuelan question forthwith without waiting for the meeting of Parliament. The Chronicle has a long article in advocacy of a permanent court of arbitration, an 1 it says of this: "Naturally ?uch a tribunal must be constituted subject to America's reasonable views on the Monroe doctrine.. Cardinal Vaughan when approached on this subject gave the l3ea his warmest approval." Arbitration Movement. LONDON, Jan. 8. A movement is on foot among a number of prominent Americans and Britons in this city to bring about the formation of a permanent court of arbitration to settle all disputes between the two nations, as proposed by Justice Harlan in 1?JZ.

The Statehood Convention Ends in n Row, nnd the Sheriff Turn the Delegates Ont of the Hall. OKLAHOMA CITT, O. T., Jan. 8. The statehood convention was opened here this afternoon with good prospects for a merry war of factions. A large share of the delegates favor forming a State with the Chickasaw nation added, and with a provision allowing other nations of the Indian Territory to con.c in as they wish. Others are strongly opposed to such action and desire a single State formed by the union of Oklahoma and Indian Territory. A fight was in sight as soon as the convention met at 10 o'clock. Frank W. Thompson, a "double Stater." and W. T. Walker, a "slnglo Stater." took sides on each end of the platform and tried to talk at the same time. At once the delegates mounted chairs, each, faction yelling for Its . side. Amid the clamor T. F. Hensley, a "double Stater," was nominated for chairman, and so soon as his name was mentioned he Jumped to the stage. For Ave minutes he talked against the clamor. Gradually his loud tones drowned out the noise and one delegate after another subsided and listened to his speech. Then the question of selecting the committee on credentials arose. Finally Chairman Hensley declared the motion to appoint Ave members on the committee carried. Those opposed yelled an appeal from the decision of the Chair. From 2 till 2:30 o'clock the delegates, five hundred of them, howled. Then . Patrick Nagle, of Kingfisher, pleaded for peace and harmony, and moved that the committee on credentials be composed of one from each delegation. This was carried, and then there was a lively quarrel over the recognition of the delegates from the Chlchasaw nation. After wrangling for another half hour Dick Plunkett, the noted ex-prizefighter, formerly of Denver, was appointed sergeant-at-arms.' He walked to the stage, and his great length and breadth of form seemed to awe the delegates. They quieted down and Plunkett said: "Gentlemen, I am proud to be sergeant-at-arms of this convention, which sits in the pride of the Territory. We want order here and we have got to have it." The delegates from tho Chickasaw nation were recognized and the committee on credentials retired. At 8:50 the convention came to an inglorious end. At that hour the committee on credentials, having been unable to report owing to the strife between the "single Staters" and the -double Staters." Chairman Hensley declared the convention adjourned sine die. For half an hour afterwards the utmost confusion prevailed, and finally, when the uproar was approaching the proportions of a riot, Sherint Deford turned out the lights and ordered the delegates from the hall Into the street. This, It is believed, will end, All organized effort to secure statehood from this Congress. LOWNDES SWORN IN. First Republican , Governor in the History of Maryland. ANNAPOLIS, Md., Jan. 8.-For the first time in history this State has a Republican Governor, elected and Inaugurated as a Republican, and for" the first- time since the w ar the administration of the public affairs is in the hands of an executive who Is not affiliated with the Democratic party. At noon to-day Chief Justice Robinson, of the Court of Appeals, in the presence of both houses of the Assembly, administered the oath of office prescribed by the Constitution to Mr. Lloyd Lowndes. The incoming and outgoing chief magistrates had before that ceremony faced the .enormous crowd from the stand in front of the- Senate-chamber and Governor5 Lowndes had delivered his inaugural address. The stand was protected from, the crush of the crowd by the hollow square of the Fifth Regiment veteran corps, in he center of whicn sat Roger Brooke Taney In effigy, poring over the scroll of the Dred Scott decision. After delivering his address Governor-elect Lowndes was escorted across the portico and through the window Into the State chamber. In this historic room, in which George Washington resigned his commission as commander-in-chief of the" American army to the Continental Congress, and delivered his farewell addresj, Lloyd Lowndes was sworn in. In his inaugural address Governor Lowndes declared that he considered himself and his party pledged to give the people of the State "an economical government, retrenching expense and reforming abuses." Among the means to this end he deemed fair assessment. Just taxation, pure election laws and civll-servlce reform as being essential. Ho favored bringing the public school system up to the highest standard an3 thought the colored people should be permitted to have separate schools and teachers as long as they want them. In conclusion, he pledged h'mself to be Governor of the whole State and not of any, political party. Kentucky Senatorial Contest. FRANKFORT, Ky., Jan. 8. Congressman Hunter's friends met to-day. It is claimed he has forty-one pledged to support him for Senator. Others say only twenty-seven are pledged. Dr. Hunter says he himself is sure of forty-five votes on the first ballot, and that he will force a caucus. Senator Jones's defection from Hunter is partially ofTset by the accession of Senator Dingue, who has Joined the Hunter forces. It Is believed here that the State administration favors Yerkes for Senator. Governor Bradley and Y'erkes have been close personal friends. It is common gossip that if the Republicans will nominate some such man as Wilson or Yerkes the Democrats will not resort to filibustering tactics. VICTORY FOR G REEN WAY.

Late this afternoon Premier Sir Mackenzie Bowell had a conference of over an hour's duration with Lord Aberdeen, the Governor-general, which caused the circulation of reports that Sir Mackenzie had determined to resign and that it was for the purpose of communicating this decision to the Governor-general that he had sought the conference with his Excellency. Whether or not this is so, however, is not definitely known. The Premier will make, no statement as to the course which he will pursue In the present crisis tefore the opening of the session of the House of Commons to-morrow afternoon. Ohlf unry.

He began to write poetry at an early age and was at first classed with the Parnassians, but afterwards became a principal exponent of "symbolism" and "decadence."

The trial of Frank Simpson and Harrison Fuller, colored, charged with having criminally assaulted Mrs. Pomeroy, a widow, and her sixteen-year-old daughter, in this county, last August, was to have occurred here today, and for this purnose.the two negroes were brought in on the noon train from Nashville, w'nere the sheriff had placed them for safe-keeping, but they were met by a mob of some four or five hundred men, who at once proceeded to administer the law of Judge Lynch by suspending the two negroes to a railroad trestle about a mile from town. When this was done, at a signal from the leader, the mob fired a volley of some two or three hundred shots into the negroes, almost perforating their bodies, after which the lynchers quietly dispersed. Simpson confessed his guilt before he was hanged, while Fuller maintained that he was innocent until the last. The lynchers made no attempt at disguise, but were strict and orderly. Lommcw 1 Fire. NEW YORK, Jan. 8. A fire started at 11:30 o'clock to-night in the live-story iron and stone-front buliiling at Nos. 9ti and IttS Broadway, which at one time threatened to destroy the block, and ai:eared to be a good second to the Empire State Bank lire at Bleecker street and Broadway on election night. The building was consumed, with a loss estimated to be in the neighborhood of $200,(XJ0. How the lire originated is a mystery. The burned building was occupied by the United Shirt and Collar Company on the first floor: Blumenthal tc Steiner, manufacturers of flowers and feathtrs. on the second floor, and M. Waus.ermann & Co., manufacturers of flowers and feathers, on the third floor. The two upper floors were used by these firms for manufacturing their product. BALTIMORE. Md., Jan. 8.
