Benjamin F. Havens, of Terre Haute, has not yet succeeded in "landing" the census appointment for which he has applied. He is becoming very Indignant, and If he is not given the recognition he desires he may conclude to lurn the State back Into the hands of the Democrats. He Is handicapped materially In his candidacy by his failure to ?ecure the indorsement of Senator Fairbanks and several of the Indiana representatives. It was learned late to-night that Democratic members of the House have framed an amendment to the Tayler resolution in the Roberts case providing for an investigation of the moral character of every appointee of the present federal administration in Utah, as well as of Mr. Roberts.

CASC OP W. A. CLARK. Slemorlal In Which the 3Iontnna Senator In Charged with Bribery. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. In the course of the proceedings of the Senate to-day Mr. Carter, of Montana, presented a memorial from some of the members of the Montana Legislature against the validity of the "pretended election of William A. Clark to ho Senate." The memorial recites that Mr. Clark "did secure and procure votes in this legislative assembly by the payment therefor, ; and by the promise of payment therefor, of large sums of money." Further, "your memorialists and protestants dc aver that the said William A. Clark, by himself and his agents, did bribe sundry members of said legislative assembly to vote for him for said office," the memorialists alleging that he was not the untrammeled choice of the Legislature of Montana. The assertion Is made that by corruption and bribery Mr. Clark was enabled to secure enough votes to compass his election as senator. It is recited that the sum of $30,000. paid to members of the Legislature by Mr. Clark, or his agents, for votes, was produced in open session of the Leglslatun and deposited in the treasury of Montana, where it still remains unclaimed by Mr. Clark. The sum of $03,000, it is alleged, was to be paid for the votes of four memben of the Legislature. It is alleged that the SCO.OOQ Is but a small fraction of the amount expended by Mr. Clark to compass his election. The memorialists offer to show to the Senate ample evidence to establish the charges they make. The charges are signed by Henry S. Stiff, speaker of the House, and twenty-seven other members of the Montana Legislature. Appended to and made a part of the memorial is a report of the Investigation made of the election ol Senator Clark by the Legislature of Montana. Mr. Carter also presented a petition signed by Robert B. Smith, Governor of Montana, T. E. Collins, state treasurer, Henry C. Stiff, and many other prominent citizens of Montana, asking for an early and full hearing of the charges against Senator Clark, which are set out fully ir the petition. The petition declares that "for the purpose of securing the support of members of said legislative assembly to vote for and elect the said William A. Clark he did confederate and conspire with parties named or unnamed by the petitioners," to corrupt, bribe and buy the members of said legislative assembly, and tc thereby secure their votes in behalf of the candidacy of said William A. Clark. It is alleged that Clark did, in the furtherance of his desires, pay largo sums of money t the members of the Legislature for their votes. The petition then names a number of members of the Legislature, with sums they are alleged to have received set opposite their names. These sums aggregated according to the petition, about STiOO.OoO. In addition to the sums alleged to have been paid by Senator Clark to persons name' for their votes or influence, it is asserted that Senator Clark offered to various persons for their votes or influence sums aggregating $175,000. Those persons are alo named In the petition. The petitioners aver that many other sums, unknown at this time, were paid out corruptlv bv Senator Clark in advancing his candidacy for the Senate. ME3IORIAL ARCH. 3Ir. GroiTenor Proposes that One De Erected on Chickamauga Field. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. Representative Gro3venor, of Ohio, to-day Introduced the following bill for the erection of a memorial arch on the Chickamauga battlefield: "Be it enacted, etc.. that, as the crowning work of the establishment of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, which embraces seven battlefields on which served three groat armies, and large forces representing all the other main armies of the North and the South, the secretary of war Is hereby authorized and directed to erect at Chattanooga.

Announcement of Hay's Appointment as Consul nt Pretoria. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. It will not be possible for Adelbert Hay to start for his post at Pretoria until next week. The State Department to-day gave out the formal announcement of the appointment of Mr. Hay, as follows: "The President has appointed Adelbert 8. Hay, of New Hampshire, consul of the United States at Pretoria, South African Republic. Dec. 2. 1S09." This announcement dispels any doubt that may have existed at first as to Mr. Hay's status. He is, beyond doubt, a fullfledged consul, and as there cannot be two men holding' t.e same place, Mr. Macrum must have lost his place as consul at Pretoria by his appointment. Technically, he is on leave of absence, his request for such a leave having been granted by the State Department, with permission for him to return to the United States. Comment on the Appointment. LONDON, Dec. 4.The afternoon newspapers welcome the appointment of Mr. Adelbert F. Hay as United States consul at Pretoria. The St. James Gazette says: "It is by numerous small indications rather than by striking outbursts that the real depth of international sentiment can be gauged as between the two great countries who prefer to make their sympathy plain to one another to parading it before the world. The appointment of Mr. Hay Is one of those small but significantly important signs by which the impartial observer can test the sincerely good feeling between ourselves and the United States." The Westminster Gazette says: "If Mr. Chamberlain is speaking to-day he will undoubtedly turn to Mr. Hay's appointment as convincing proof that an alliance exists. We do not make such a sweeping declaration. It suffices to say it isx pleasant to think that our interests are represented by one whose representations will hardly fall to be received with consideration by the Transvaal." Case of General Wheeler. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. Notwithstanding the repeated statements to the effect that General Joe Wheeler is about to return to Washington to resume his seat in Congress, the officials of the War Department assert they know nothing of any such purpose on the part of the officer. Certainly he has not yet applied to the department for leave of absence, although perhaps it may not be necessary to go further than his immediate superior oltlcer. General Otis, to secure permission to return to tho States. In that case, however, his leave would be limited to sixty days. The officials point to the decision of the last House, that General Wheeler had forfeited his sent in the House by holding his army commission, and make the point that conditions are now precisely similar, so that if the general returns he must either resign his commission or his seat In Congress. It is supxested that a solution of the problem might be had by appointing the general to be a major general and retiring him at once, in which case, as a retired officer, he might continue in the legislative branch under the decision In the case of General Sickles. Shipping nilllntroduced. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. The shipping bill was introduced in the House to-day by Representative Payne, of New York, who, with Senator Ilanna, prepared and introduced the bill last year. Mr. Payne says it Is the same in all essential particulars as the former bill, except that a provision is made that the bounties shall not exceed $9,000,000 annually and that foreijn-buii: ships having American registry shall have only i0 per cent, of the bounty rates provided, in case the total bounties earned exceed JD.OUO.OOO, a pro rata allowance is to be made. The bill provides a compensation of 1 cent per gross ton for each one hundred nautical miles covered by sail or steam vessels, outward or home-ward bound, up to 1.50O miles each way. ar.d after tha.t 1 cent per gross ton for each one hundred nautical miles covered. An additional .Allowance is made to fast steamships. beRihniriK with 1 cent per gross ton for each one hundred miles by a llfteen-knot ship, ar.d slightly higher rates as the speed of the ship increases. The bill also makes these merchant steamships available as auxiliary naval vessels. AwaltinK Confirmation. WASHINGTON. Dec. 4. The nominations of 24 postmasters, appointed by the President during the recess of Congress, will be submitted to the Senate for ratification this week. These constitute the whole of the presidential postofflce nominations this year. Nine are for IndianaGeneral Notes. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.

SHELVED FOR A TIME

CONSIDERATION OF THE 3IEAT INSPECTION BILL POSTPOXED. Laid Aside by the Reichstag: at ltequent of Count Von Duelow-The Untrue Articles Unsigned. BERLIN, Dec. 4. The question of American meat Imports into Germany has already created much bad blood on both sides of the ocean and it still looks as though this matter would prove the first serious test of the friendly understanding reached between the two countries. In this controversy, as in others, there are two opposing currents within tbj German government. The fact that the iniluences favorable to the United States, which are directed by Count Von Buelow, the foreign secretary, are just now again In control has been strikingly demonstrated. The meat Inspection bill wlJ h the Reichstag commission, hostile to the United States, was to have taken up vo-day, has been postponed Indefinitely at the Instigation of the Foreign Office. Count Osten-Sacken, Russian ambassador to Germany, is authority for the statement that neither Great Britain nor Germany has yet signed the thro conventions and three declarations approved by the peace conference at The Hague. Some time ago England notified De Beaufort, the Dutch foreign minister, that she was ready to sign with certain reserves. He replied that this could not be done, according to the rules of the conference, unless all signatory powers consented, and all the replies from the powers were not in. Regarding Germany's failure to sign. Count OstenSacken said that she would be bound in her action by England, and referring to the United States he remarked that in that case the signing was subject to congressional ratification. From a source usually reliable, it Is asserted that the repeal of the Prussian law forbidding the affiliation and coalition of political clubs and societies has finally been arranged for by the Imperial chancellor. Prince Von Hohenlohe, who has had several private audiences of late with Emperor William on the subject. His Majesty, although strongly opposed to repeal, has finally yielded In preference to losing the chancellor, who Is now able to redeem his pledge to effect the repeal before the new civil code goes Into operation Jan. 1. This evening the Emperor attended the Royal Opera, where Mamade Melba appeared in "Lucia Di Lammermoor." The house was packed and almost as many were turned away as were admitted. Another performance will be given Friday. Madame Melba will sing Thursday at an entertainment for the benefit of the Red Cross Society in South Africa. Emperor Williams s latest bon mot It Is said grew out of the ardent efforts of a well-known German-born American In Berlin to obta4n an audience. The applicant had pleaded that he was only a GermanAmerican member of some American public body. In refusing his request, the Kaiser said that Germans born here, but naturalized In America, became Americans. "Ich kenne Amerikaner. Ich denne deutsche. Abfr deutsche Amerikaner kenne lch nicht." GERMAN CURRENCY BILL. Debate on n Proposition to Increase Silver Coins. BERLIN, Dec. 4. The Reichstag to-day discussed the government's currency bill, providing for an Increase of silver coins until the amount reached the proportion of fourteen marks per head of the population. Drlvon Thlelman,. secretary of the treasury, said the increase was Imperative, adding that other pieces would at the same time be withdrawn from circulation. Germany In 1897, he continued. Imported forty million, and in 1S99, up to Sept. SO, fortyseven million marks in gold more than she exported. Regarding the maintenance of gold standard and the stoppage of the gold output of South Africa, he asked what would be the result if the war lasted longer than a year. H?rr Weltzlen, Conservative, remarked thai the Boersfwere' not only gallant defenders of their liberty, but also held the keys of their gold deposits and might cut off much of Germany s small gold supply. Herr Koch, director of the Reichsbank, pointed out that all the great states had now adopted the gold standard which, he regarded, settled the-question of bimetallism. Dr. Arendt, secretary of the German Bimetallic League, attributed the rise In the discount rate to the scarcity of gold. Dr. Siemens, director of the German Bank, said he considered that the international monetary conventions, anticipated by Dr. Arendt. were impossible of realization, and that there was absolutely no prospect of the restoration of the silver standard. The bill eventually was referred to a special committee. LORD MAYOR 'EWTOS CASC. Justice WrlKht Says He Has No Jud foment to Give. LONDON, Dec. 4. At the conclusion today of the Investigation into the concern with which Lord Mayor Newton was said to have been unfavorably mixed up. Justice Wright said he had no Judgment 'to give. He added that the investgiation was solely to enable the"officlal receiver of the company to take other proceedings. If he so desired. It was due to Lord Mayor Newton, he declared, to say that he had successfully resisted the attempt of Promoter Mendel to appropriate 28,000 for his own purposes. Such articles of association, however, acordlng to Justice Wright, constituted nothing 6hort of a scandal, and it was highly desirable, in his opinion, that the law should limit powers conferred thereby, which at present placed the public at the mercy of promoters. SAI.ISIIL'RY ANNOYED. Chamberlain Failed to Consult the British Premier. LONDON, Dec. 4. It can be asserted to-night on the highest authority that no one was more surprised and annoyed at Mr. Chamberlain's references to the "new triple alliance" than Lord Salisbury. The speech was delivered without the least consultation with the premier and has caused him more perturbation than any recent political circumstance. hlle It is impossible for the Foreign Office offlclallv to disown Mr. Chajnberlain s utterance's, every effort is evinced to minimize them and. without -absolutely denying the public statements of a member of the Cabinet, to give the impression that his reference to alliances was not based on facts. In Justice to Mr. Cnoate. LONDON. Dec. 4. The Associated Press is in a position to say that Joseph II. Choate. the United States ambassador, was not only unaware of the tenor of the speech delivered by Joseph Chamcerlain at Leicester Nov. 30. when he himself was speaking at the American Thanksgiving banquet at London, but was also ignorant of the fact that the secretary for the colonies was making any speech the same day. Mr. Choate repudiated emphatically any intention to confirm the colonial secretary's remarks, maintaining that he only reiterated, on behalf of the United States, expressions of friendship often made before, and he does not believe there is any necessity of withdrawing. anything he said. While refusing to express an opinion on Mr. Chamberlain's speech. Mr. Choate drew attention to his own speech, which included the statement that he believed the watchword of the United States was still "No entangling alliances." More Innultft to Queen Victoria. PARIS, Dec. 4. The police. In addition to another seizure of copies of La Caricature, containing matter and illustrations grossly Insulting to Queen Victoria, to-night seized copies of a ribald song, entitled "The Disembarkation of the English," ' containing

a drawing ridiculing her Majesty. The song had been exposed in many shops and kiosks.

ELECTIONS AND CENSUS. They Are Occupying the Public Attention In Porto Rloo. SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Nov. .-Loca' interest In Porto Rico is now centered on the elections in which the Spaniards and Federals are striving for supremacy. The fight is an even one. The result will go a great way toward determining how soc Porto Rico will be given civil government. Elections are to be held in the towns, o" which so far nine have had their plebiscites. The Federals were victorious in five of these. Up to date elections have beeu held in but one town at a time. The votes have been cast and the election decided be fore proceedings have been begun in the next town. As a consequence, much time has been lost. It is not at all unlikely thai orders will shortly be issued allowing elections to be held in several towns at the same tlmfe. They are all municipal elections, and are for the purpose of choosing the following officers in each place: One alcalde or mayor, one municipal judge, one vice judge, five school trustees and the town council. All elections are held under the general direction of army officers designated by General Davis, who has prescribed rules and regulations operative in many of the municipalities in the United fetaies. The Australian ballot system Is used. The persons elected are to hold office until Nov. 1 HOC. or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Tho Federal party, which is composed of the island's better element, is the out growth of the old Liberal party, which was organized in 1S&7. The Federals demand a civil government for Porto Rico, with Luh Rivera, their leader, as Governor, and with "Puerto Biquenos" at the head of all th departments. The military must be done away with entirely. The Republican party Is a later organization. Although it ha been in existence only five months, it has accomplished wonders in pushing Itself to the front under the able management ol Dr. Barbosa. who is considered to be one of the best native physicians on the island. It is composed mostly of laboring men, and consequently the colored element predominates. At the same time, many of th most influential business men are among it: members. The Republican party endeavor to stand by the administration and by so doing hopes to further its cause. The platforms of the two parties seem to diner only in minor details. The census office here is the scene of great activity. Ihe force has been at work since Nov. 10, and already several districts have been completed. The work of enumeration will be finished by Dec. 20, afte: which the office will be removed to Washington, where the various reports will be tabulated. For convenience sake the lslanr has been divided into seven districts, each in charge of a native supervisor. it. Dingman, the chief of the bureau, expresses himself as most agreeably surprised at the businesslike manner in which these men have taken up their work. Death of G. C. Mnynnrd. CHICAGO. Dec. 4.

Frank Erne, of Buffalo, and Jack O'Brien, of New York, fought twenty-five rounds at 133 pounds at the Coney Island Sporting Club to-night, and at the end of it the referee, George Slier, of Chicago, declared the bout a draw. This decision was fair and just, but it did not satisfy a number of persons who ha picked a favorite. O'Brien did a lot of forcing and fighting, but Erne's work was of a cleaner and more scientific character. O'Brien's blows fell with a force that was not behind Erne's. It was the old case of a clean boxer .against a hurricane fighter. Of the two O'Brien's face bore the worse marks. Both his eyes were badly damaged and his mouth and nose puffed up. Erne's left eye was smashed, but this will not hurt him half as much as the punishment he received on the body during the mill. O'Brien Invariably got in pile-driving blows on the- stomach, ribs and kidneys, and the frequent visitations of his fists left red welts on the Buffalo lad's body. O'Brien was an even money favorite about the fifteenth round, while before the fight began 100 to 73 was laid against him. Both men were in good shape, but It Is Just possible that Erne was drawn out a bit fine in order to get down to the limit. The first and second rounds were devoted chiefly to fiddling, with some light exchanges. In the third round Erne reached O'Brien's nose and landed on his car. making it bleed. O'Brien put a hook to the body and Erne fell on his back, hut was up in a second and received three lefts on tht body before the gong sounded. O'Br opened the fourth with a right swing to the kidneys and Erne sent left to the face. Both blocked cleverly tho rest of the round. Erne led cleverly in the fifth, but waf blocked handsomely. O'Brien sent t right hooks to the kidneys and Erne Jabbed to tli f&c twice The sixth opened with a clinch, followed by a savage interchange, Erne jabbing to face and stomach, and O'Brien landing on the kidneys. O'Brien clinched and Erne swnng left to body and the same to the nose. Erne rushed the seventh, swinging left to ribs and face. O'Brien clinched, and they exchanged hard body lefts. Right and left exchanges to head and chest followed, O'Brien closing the round with two lefts to the kidneys. Jack forced Erne to his corner In the eighth, and did some heavy landing on head and body. Erne's nose was very bloody. The ninth also was O'Brien' s, Erne being forced to his corner. Once he fell down, but recovered gamely, and staggered O'Brien with a left hook to the Jaw. O'Brien sent two hard lefts to the stomach, and they exchanged lefts to the face as the bell rang. The tenth was even honors, exchanges being about even, and each being rushed to his corner. Erne hooked two lefts to the body and face In the eleventh, and forced O'Brien to the ropes. Then they threw science to the winds, and pounded each other merrily the rest of the round. In the twelfth Erne had the call on points, but O'Brien landec heavier blows. Erne Jabbed to the face, and Jack stuck to his favorite trick, left to the kidneys. The referee had to separate them In the thirteenth, O'Brien landing a left uppercut to chest in a clinch. Erne was very tired and blocked poorly, O'Brien landing two lefts to the face. O'Brien did the rushing in the fourteenth, and the odds went 100 to 80 In his favor. Erne landed two lefts to face, but O'Brien repeatedly got, in heavy lefts to chet, stomach and kidneys. They exchanged rights to the wind. O'Brien opened the fifteenth with a hard left to the stomach, and landedx repeatedly and heavily with left and right. Erne kept Jabbing away at the head, and stood punishment bravely. The sixteenth and seventeenth were pretty fair Interchanges. There was plenty of hard infighting. In which O'Brien had slightly the better of it. Erne's mouth was bleeding freely. They were In a clinch at the song The eighteenth was O'Brien's, his body blows telling heavily. Erne Jabbed to the head, landing frequently, but lacking steam. Erne had got his wind in the nineteenth and sent in two for one to the chin. Ag?!Jle lanJed risht and left to the face and O Brien s eyes were nearly closed. He had ciearly lost ground. Both were ttred in the twentieth and Siler had hard work to keep them apart. O'Brien got in a hot one to the body and cut Erne's eye with a right swing. Round 21 Erne was on the defensive and O Bnen kept sending hot ones to the body. Lrne landed lightly on the head. In the twenty-second they clinched in Frank's corner and Erne sent two hard lefts to the face. O'Brien countering. Erne slipped to his knees, but came up sharply and blocked well to the close. O'Brien's left fell short In the twenty-third and they exchanged rights to the body at short range. Jack forced things, but did no damage, and Erne sent in two smashing lefts on the stomach Just before the bell. In the twenty-fourth they exchanged hard body rights; and on an attempted repeat Erne fell short. Then he sent a hard l?ft to the stomach, following to the face and wind. Round 20 They fought like furies, blows falling thick and fast without science. They hugged each other and punched in the clinches. Erne In clean hitting scorM a couple of hard ones on the face. They wrestled and pulled and dragged each other In thPir efforts for supremacy, and a description of the blor.-s would be impossible. IV)th were covered with blood, but O'Brien's face was the worse looking, both eyes being almost closed and his mouth badly puffed. When the gong finished the bout neither

Creditor of Franklin Syndicate Object to Returning Letters. NEW YORK. Dec 4. It Is expected that a petition will be made by attorneys, claiming to represent a large number of depositors who were caught In tho Franklin Syndicate crash, to Judge Thomas, of the United States Court, enjoining Postma6ter Wilson, of Brooklyn, from returning to their senders the mass of letters, supposed to contain a large amount of funds, received In his office since the collapse of the syndicate, and held there by means of a fraud order from the government prohibiting the delivery of mail to Miller's concern. The motion will be based on an affidavit giving the gistof an interview with Postmaster Wilson, In which he Is said to have set the value of the money-bearing letters now in the possession of the Postoffice Department from $75,000 to $100,000. with an average of $20,000 coming in each day. It will be urged that the senders of money by mail did, by so sending, become creditors of the concern known as the Franklin Syndicate, and are therefore entitled only to such share of its assets as a regularly appointed receiver, acting under the bankruptcy laws of the United States, shall be able to distribute them. The attorneys for the depositors claim that the United States postal authorities, in returning funds, are making themselves liable for the assets of the syndicate. Miller Captured in Montreal. CHICAGO, Dec 4. In a telegram received to-night at the office of the Mooney and Boland detective agency the capture of William F. Miller, accused of having been connected with the Franklin Syndicate swindle, in New York, was announced as having been effected at Montreal by the agency's operatives, who have been In pursuit of the fugitive since his disappearance, ten days ago.

Miss May Campbell Quinn !s the daughter of J. C. Qulnn, vice president of the First National Bank, of Chlllicothe, O. Lloyd and Richard look so much alike that their mother at this time actually does not know them apart. Richard has Been married several years. Lloyd was unmarrictl and lived at the parental home la Cumberland, Md. About a year ago Richard was going West when he was met on the train by a former college chum, who addressed him as Lloyd. and, despite his protest that he was Richard, dragged him to his home In Chlllicothe, for a few days' recreation. In Chlllicothe, among the young ladles Richard met, was Miss Qulnn, to whom he was Introduced by the Yale man as his old college chum. Lloyd Lowndes. She was much pleased with her new acquaintance; so much so. indeed, that she told him on leaving that he would hear from her soon. Richard wrote to Lloyd at once and told him he would probably receive a letter from M'ss Quinn and gave him several pointers so that he might frame an appropriate answer. A regular correspondence between Miss Qulnn and Lloyd was the result, and finally the young ma a determined to pay Chlllicothe a visit. Meanwhile he received further information from Richard, which enabled him to act as If he were the Lowndes scion that had been in the ton. Miss Qulnn did not discover the difference. The tender sentiment vas reciprocated. Matters progressrd well, but It was not until Lloyd was about to return to Cumberland that he made his confession. Of course he had a hard time to convince Miss Quinn of the truth, but it id not prevent them becoming engaged. The wed'llnr last week was the most beautiful Chlllicothe had een in years.
