"It la also true," continued Mr. Hartman, .resuming, "that the patrlotLsm of these corrupt and unsafe Territories and undeeirable States' has never yet been, able to rise to that lofty plane of supremo wisdom and virtue which enables those who claim to occupy it to Justify the ale of thirtyyear government bonds of a year ago for 101 when that very day ten-year bonds wereselling at 11. On behalf of the citizens of the States and' Territories thus slandered and maligned by the chief executive I here and -ow repel the insult and respectfully eupffest that the greatest need of this country for the worK of the missionary, the schoolmaster and the statesman will be .found at the White House."

Under the fee system both, district attorneys and marshals were allowed fees not to exceed Jii.OOO and mileage, which In some cases swelled the compensation to as high as and J10.CO0. Instead of mileage at the rate of lu cents per mile each way, the amendment allows attorneys and marshals their actual traveling expenses. It Axes the fees of United States commissioners considerably below the present schedule. The debate was Interrupted to allow the Speaker to appoint conferees on the Cuban resolution iis rs.

AN INDIGNANT BIDDER

IlL'SII COUNTY COMMISSIONERS THREATENED WITH A SLIT. ' J. E. Gibson Not Given Contract for Dulldlne tLe Coarthunvc OH Gusher In Grant County. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RUSHVILLE. Ind.. March. 5. The Rush County Commissioners already have a fight on their hands from awarding the contract for the new courthouse to P. IL McCormack & Co., of Columbus, Ind, for $157,143. J. E. Gibson, of Logansport, Is the man who threatens trouble. He offered six bids for the contract, the lowest being J149.486.40, for Indiana oolitic limestone. All of his bids were under MdCormack's eave one, that being $139,597. for Berea stone. There was eleven bidders, and the commissioners opened the bids this morning. They gave out that the successful bidder would not be announced until to-night, but by noon there was a general rumor that McCormack would get the contract. Gibson, after learning he was fha lowest bidder, went to the commissioners and learned that they had decided to give the contract to McCormack. He at once employed Judge W. A. Cullen to represent him. and at the afternoon session they went before the board. Mr. Gibson was much excited and exclaimed: "I will build this house or it will not be built." He claimed the commissioners had advertised to let the contract to the "lowest- responsible bidder," and he could prove his responsibility. Gibson gave bond for fGO.OOO, with some of the wealthiest men at Logansport a3 surety. He is highly indignant at the action of the commissioners, and says he will bring suit to have the award set aside. The reason the commissioners did not accept Gibson's bid. they say. Is that his bid for that particular kind of stone Is no better than McCormack & Co.'s. It Is also alleged that Gibson works in collusion with A. v: Rush & Son, the architects of the courthouse. Locally, sentiment is altogether on the side of McCormacjc & Co. Following are the bids submitted to-day: Pierce & Morgan, Indianapolis, X171,0CO; Long & Pen, Cadiz, O., $157,770; A. G. Campflld.

SALVATIONISTS FLOCKING TO B A ISLINGTON BOOTH'S STANDARD. First Public Demonstration of the Nevr Movement to Be Made at Cooper Union Sunday Nlffht. NEW YORK, March 5. The 'Christian Crusade," a name at first suggested by BaK llngton Booth for the new evangelical movement which the former commander of the Salvation Army has pledged himself to lead is not likely to be adopted. The nucleus of the new movement Is the little band of Long islanders, the Sea Cliff corps, who deserted In a body following their officer. Captain Mimons, and on Tuesday sent a telegram to the Booths, at Mont Clair, announcing themselves as "an Independent religious body" and inviting their former leaders to assume command. Ballington Booth at once telephoned an ac-. ceptance, sent a former Salvationist, Captain Seake, to take cnarge, and straightway the career of the Infant organization began, with the hiring of a hall, the one selected being the former barracks of ' the defunct Salvation Army Sea Cliff corps. It is said that Ballington Booth will at once establish a paper In opposition to the famous War Cry, and that it will be "up to date" in all evangelical matters, not limiting itself to the discussion of purely army affairs, but dealing , with all cognate subjects. MaJ. Peter Glen announced late to-night that the first public demonstration of the new religious movement will be held in Cooper Union on Sunday night. It is rumored that the meeting will be conducted by Ensign March, who 'is in command of the Bowery Corps of the Salvation Amy. For over a week it has been only through great effort that Commissioner Eva Booth has prevented the Bowery Corps from seceding. The loss of the hall of Cooper Institute is a great one to the Salvation Army. For over two J ears it has held meetings there every Sunay night. William E. Dodge leases' it by the year, and has let them have it rent free. Last Tuesday Commissioner Eva Booth wrote to Mr. Dodge, asking if the Salvation Army could have the use of the hall next Sunday night, as usual. He replied that no one could use Cooper Institute Sunday nights unless authorized to do so by Ballington Booth. There is a probability that Staff Captain Pattl Watklns, the "mother of the Bowery Corps," will also be on the platform. Her present command, Newark Corps, No. 1, like the Bowery Corps, is ripe for open rebellion. Commissioner Booth and Colonel Nlcol have tried by every means in their power to quell this spirit, and to gain a declaration of loyalty to the "world-wide Salvation Army" from Staff Captain Pattl Watklns. but without success. Another move to retain the Newark Corps and training home,' with Its famous leader, will be made to-morrow (Friday), when Commissioner Carleton. who has Just arrived from England, wir. lead a soldiers' meeting there. Within a few days Commander Booth will have formulated definite plans to be pursued in the management of his new organization, and will have settled on a suitable name. Its name wlll.not.be "Christian Crusaders." That is the name which was chosen by the former seceders from the Salvation Army under Commissioner Moore. It has been definitely settled that the members shall wear a uniform, but there will be. no red in the costume. Commander Booth will make New York his headquarters. He has already secured offices in the Bible House. He will take possession at once and conduct all the business of the organization there from now , on. He will commission no officers until sis plan cf action is definitely settled. Commander Booth stated that the step he is to take In transferring the property he holds to the Salvation Army meets with the full approval or all. the big subscribers. Colonel Nicol.has.pJaced the following on tne bulletin board; a:n, statement, mat Miss Booth, on the transfer of the property to the Salvation Army, will take a second mortgage on it and send the money to England is a baseless fabrication." DISORDERS IN ITALY. (Concluded from First Faire.) all accounts agree that' General Albertone pushed too far ahead and engaged in a regular battle with his artillery, consisting of fourteen guns, delivering a crushing Are upon the enemy until the whole Shoan army dashed against General Albertone's forces and, in spite of the bravery and'tenaclty cf the Askarls, they were compelled to retire. On the arrival , of reinforcements, it appears, General Albertone made a second attack, under the cover , of the artillery, which is described as being splendidly handled, and he kept the Shoans at bay long after the final retreat vhad been sounded. Eventually the Askaris broke, and a terrible rout began. Pursued and pursuers mingled together, running and fighting mile after mile. In the meanwhile General Arimondl's brigade had been packed oh the other ridge of the pass, there not being space enough for the troops to deploy or assist General Albertone. The result was that Arlmondl's men became demoralized, although a few companies fought gallantly while the remainder were only passive onlookers of the slaughter of their comrades by the Shoans, who cut them down, shot them or crushed them' beneath stones In great numbers. Later the whole of General Arimondi's brigade became panic stricken and fell an easy prey to the Hara tribesmen, who swarmed up the ridge, driving the Italians before them and cutting them down or shooting them without mercy. Generals Baratleri, Arlmondl and C?ra, with their revolvers in their hands, did everything possible to stay the flight of the troops, but the efforts of the officers were futile, and the rout and slaughter continued. Numerous instances of personal valor displayed by the Italian officers and men are recounted. ! ' ' A report found currency for a time that the missing brigade of General Dabormida had been heard of, and, In fact, reach ?d the iheadquarters of the Italian army in Africa. But the report was later ascertained to be unfounded. CrlspPs Ilonse Stoned. LONDON, March 6.-A Rome dispatch to the Times says: "The Crispl Ministry refused to withdraw their resignation in spite of the King's request."

There were disorders in this city this evening, the windows being broken in Premier Crlspi's house and in the offices of the government newspapers. The troops occupied the center of the city until darkness came on, when a heavy rainfall cleared the streets of the crowds." The Chronicle has a Rome dispatch whjch says that information has been received that General Arimondi was seriously wounded in the battle at-Adowa, The news that General Debormida and Colonel Galliano were killed Is confirmed.

THO BRITISH COMMONS. Irish 3Iembers Oppose an Increase In Naval Appropriations. LONDON. March 5.-Prior to tho opening of the debate on the navy estimates in the House of Commons to-day, Mr. John Redmond, Parnelllte, declared that in view of the manner in which Ireland was over taxed, he would oppose every vote of In crease and insist in each case on a division. Sir Charles Dilke thought that the naval programme was inadequate. The navy, he insisted, ought to be superior to any com bination, as it was doubtful If a hand would be raised by any other nation to save Great Britain if she were engaged' in a death struggle. Mr. Balfour said he believed Great Brit ain's navy In 1899 would be In a position to contend on satisfactory terms with the fleets of any two countries. Mr: William Vernon Haroourt, the Liberal leader, said that the present moment was an opportune one in which to ask It 1 3 government to di vulge the conditions Z Great Britain's re lations with Europe and America, requiring this vast armament, and the House whs bound to accept- the assurance of the gov ernment that grave circumstances necessitated the increased expenditures. . The Secretary of State for the colonies, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, replying to an Inquiry on the subject, said that the surrender of the Johannesburg revolters showed that the former were not told that tne lives of Dr. Jameson's followers depended on the town's surrender. The commandant, he added, had exceeded his orders if he agreed that the safety of Dr. Jameson's men was a condition of the surrender.' The First Lord of the Treasury. Mr. A. J. Balfour, answering a question, on be half of the government, saia ne oia not believe that anything would be gained by Great Britain taking the initiative in proposing a monetary conference. WILLIE WALDORF ASTOR SUED. Lady Henry Somerset Wants the ExAmerican to Pay f 23,000. LONDON, March 5. Lady Henry Somer set has sued Mr. William Waldorf Astor for $5,000 damages caused to her reputation by a remark in the Pall Mall Gazette not long ago that Lady Henry Somerset would drive any one mad." This remark Is the crowning heresy the Gazette uttered in the course of its comments upon Lady Henry's efforts to reclaim Jane Cakebread, the notorious dipsomaniac, who has made more than three hundred appearances before the London police magistrates. The first move by the aggrieved Lady Henry was a request through her lawyers to Mr. Astor to withdraw and apologize, lie aeciinea to ao either. Mr. Astor dares to assert Justification as his defense, saying that the methods cf the plaintiff and her associates are of such a 'character as to Justify the words complained of. The most eminent counsel in London have been retained Mr. Asquith, former Home Secretary, for Mr. Astor, and Sir Edward Clarke and 'Mr. Carson for Lady Somerset. Hawaiian Insulted Agra In. SAN FRANCISCO, March 5. The steamship Australia brings the following advicea from. Honolulu, under date of Feb. 36: "The regular session of the Legislature commenced on the 19th Inst. The President read his message. It contained nothing of a radical nature. The most Important bill introduced so far is an act to provide for the license of opium. Lump sums are to be charged for the privilege and a duty of $2 a pound is to be levied. In certain circles much opposition has been aroused and the bill will probably not become a law. On the morning of the 19th, previous to the opening of the Legislature, the Bennington left port for target practice. She returned to. port two days later. Her officers were invited to be present at the ceremony. Their nonacceptance is looked on here as another Insult to the Hawaiian government." The Alert at Corlnto. (MANAGUA, Nicaragua, March 5.

LI Hung Chang started from Peking yesterday to attend the coronation , of the Czar at Moscow. The report circulated in London Wednesday night that the Imperial Chancellor of Germany, Prince Von Hohenlohe, had arrived in that city, was Incorrect. The conference of Australasian premiers has been concluded. They adopted resolutions recording the urgency of the need for colonial federation, which was declared essential to any complete scheme of Australian defense. It Is reported in Peking that the French government is supporting the offer of a syndicate of French financiers, which is offering China the loan of 100,(00.000 taels, France to guarantee the interest of the loan on the security of customs and other concessions. The Lokal Anzeiger, of Berlin, publishes an interview with Dr. Nansen's wife, in which she .ays that she does not believe the reports recently received that her husband is returning from the north pole. She is confident that her husband will succeed in his purpose to reach the north pole, but she thinks it is too early yet to expect news. AMUSEMENTS. Grand "Sovrlnjr the Wind. That originally conceived piay, "Sowing the Wind," by Sydney Grundy, returned to the Grand last night for its second engage-1 ment in this city. This was one of the first 'problem" dramas of recent years to be

come a strong favorite with the public Of course, it Is understood that Ibsen was the original "problem" playwright, but the Scandinavian's works are so bitterly pessimistic and so fraught with realism that they do not receive the popular Indorsement merited. Noticing the error of Ibsen's unflinching realism, Sydney Grundy hit on the happy method of writing a play that ' would swim in society scandal, steep the characters in mental torture, wax eloquent in fallen woman incidents, flaunt bastardy before the public gaze for four acts, and then wind up, not with overwhelming ruin for all the guilty characters, but with a sort of innocuous reconciliation of everyone. The curtain falls on a happily united dramatic family. With the first performance of "Sowing the Wind" Grundy and the producers of his drama discovered that he had solved the Ibsen puzzle. The public received the play with spontaneous favor. "-Sowing the Wind" is now in its third season, and with that excellent actor, J. II. Gilmour, 'as Brabazon and Mary Hampton as Rosamond, it is able to play return engagements to better business than when first seen here. The play attracted no little attention here last year, and it was not surprising that the audience last night, while it did not fill the Grand, was larger than on any night of the last engagement. The dramatic construction of "Sowing the Wind" Is well nigh flawless, but the lines at times descend to buncombe exclamations. "He is gone for-ev-er" and "I can forgive, but not for-get-a" have the ring of affectation, and one wonders why playwrights persist in marring original and clever works with such mock heroics. In the character of Brabazon, Mr.' Gilmour gives a stage picture that will linger in the memory long after trhe company is gone. Mary Hampton, as Rosamond, wins appreciation for her sympathetic treatment of the role of a girl whose mother's name is not on the visiting list of the social elite, and whose- own life, though pure, is not supposed to be. Miss 'Hampton glories in the fact that she is a self-made actress, the product of no dramatic school. WThlle her great success Is a compliment to her ability, she falls Into certain elocutionary errors that would not be possible for one taught by rule. During the first two acts the effectiveness of her work is injured by the continuous rising inflection with which she winds up her periods. She gives an excellent Imitation of the ld country country preacher tyle of intonation. Her voice is low and musical. In a climax it is simply thrilling, but in her ordinary, reading it is painful by reason of the touch of inflection. Thomas Whiff en a Watklns is a thoroughly enjoyable characterization as it was last year. Howell Hansel, who takes the part of Ned Armesley, is excellent in his unpretentious fidelity to. the spirit of the role. Frederic Strong made Lord Petworth detestable, as he should, and Guy Standing shows undoubted worth in the horsey role of Dick Cursitox. Gypsy-faced Jessie Dodd converted Maud Fretwell into a charming, hoyden with soubrettish bearings and the rest of the company was capable. "Sowing the Wind" will continue the rest of the week at the Grand. Manager Zimmerman's Benefit. The benefit performance given to Manager Zimmerman at the Empire last night was a clear success, both in attendance and in the quality of the performance. Not over a dozen seats on the lower floor were vacant, the boxes were filled and the upper floors likewise. Though the bill was largely of an amateur character, there was considerable very fair talent displayed by the volunteers. Morris S. Meek received several calls on his rendition of his own songs, "Dorothy, the Only Girl I Love,'r "The Baby's Letters" and others. Harry Sherers black-face act was equal to the majority of such renditions, and was well given. There was a storm of applause when "Reuben Glue", apppeared, but he did not seem to have the confidence that made him such a character on the ball grounds last season. There was nothing the matter with the dog, however. His singing may have been a little off key, but it was earnest The Butterworth children were very warmly received in their specialties. Altogether, there were thirty performers in the entertainment, among them being two excellent quartets. Dr. J. Frank Calien,. hypnotist, Covai and Adams and others. Manager Zimmerman was made the recipient of a beautiful floral piece, over two feet high, composed of American Beauty roses, hyacinths, lilies and ferns, represent ing a lucky horseshoe, surmounted by a star. Mr. Zimmerman was called on for a speech, and in response expressed his thanks to those who had volunteered to appear and to the large audience. Many ladles were present, each being the recipient of a souvenir programme printed on satin Commencing at the matinee to-d3.v, and for the rest of the week, the attraction at the Empire will be "Denver" Ed Smith and his company . of variety artists, including the three Rackett Brothers, musical haymakers; Price 'Henderson, vocalist; Uzrie Sherman, Kherns and Cole, German comedy stars; rmanl, la her chameleon dance, and Professor Sherman's troupe of trained goats. "Denver" Smith will appear at each performance. Fields and Hanson will play a return engagement here of three days, commencing Monday matinee. Cleveland Heard Calve. WASHINGTON, March. 5.
