measures differ, however, the Hill bill providing for turning the silver dollar into small coin, while the Overstreet bill establishes a parity by making the silver dollar exchangeable for gold on demand at the treasury.

Before this Is done the advocates of the measure will canvass the sentiment of senators with a view to assuring Speaker Henderson that the consideration given the measure In the House will not be fruitless.

Tropical Ilntlon for the Army. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. When the new army bill goes Into effect, the War Department will announce the adoption of a new ration for the army. The experience of our troops In Cuba, Porto Rico and tho Philippines, has demonstrated the necessity of changing the rations so as to have it made of articles of food better adapted to tropical climates. Military boards were appointed to Investigate the subject with a view to changing the ration so as to meet the altered conditions in the military service. The results of these inquiries have been submitted to the War Department and General Weston, chief of t'ie Subsistence Department, and his ass stants at the War Department, have decided upon certain changes In the ration. The new ration is popularly knavn as the tropical ration, but the character and quantity of its components will not be made public until the department is prepared to announce it to the army in official orders Immediately after the new law goes into effect. Consul .orton nt Hnrpoot. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. The Department of State has received a dispatch from Thomas II.

Director General Buchanan, Norman E. Mack and other citizens of Buffalo, were before the House committee on appropriations yesterday in behalf of federal participation in that enterprise. The Navy Department was Informed yesterday that the Lancaster has sailed from Santa Lucia for Laguayra, having filled her bunkers at the former point for her trip down to Venezuela. She should arrive at Laguayra by to-day and will there await the gunboat Scorpion, which left Curacao for Trindad on Friday. After further consideration of the subject, the secretary of war has concluded to defer action on the report of the Brooke court of Inquiry In the matter of hazing at the Military Academy until Congress has an opportunity to act on the report of the special committee now investigating the same subject. Contracts for naval work aggregating no less than $7.5O0,(kK) were signed at the Navy Department yesterday by President Orcott and Judge Payson representing the Newpert News Ship Building and Dry Dock Company.

Haupt, of Philadelphia, made an argument before the Senate committee on commerce yesterday In support of an amendment to the river and harbor bill for a single jetty system for Southwest Pass at the mouth of the Mississippi river, the compensation to be In proportion to the depth secured and maintained. He estimated that a satisfactory channel could be secured at a cost of $6,000.000. According to Consul Harris ,at Manheim Germany, that consular district offers a desirable market for American household and kitchen furniture, especially a medium grade oak chairs, with or without rockers, tables and bookcases. Rocking chairs, almost unknown in many parts of Germany, are steadily growing" in favor in that country and American desks and other office furniture find an excellent and constantly growin.? market in that country. A recent report from Captain Cooper, commanding the battleship Iowa, the flagship of the Pacific squadron, notes a great reduction in the speed of the vessel, owing to a foul bottom. The Iowa went Into dock last may, nearly eight months ago. and on her recent cruise down the Pacific coast showed a falling off of nearly 13 per cent. In her regulation speed. Inspection disclosed a bottom rank with Rt-aweed and shells. The experience with the Iowa Is regarded as a significant argument in favor of sheathed battleships. The President yesterday commuted the sentence of two njn now serving time for offenses against the postal laws. They were D. G. Dumas, who pleaded guilty Sept. 3. 1J00. to stealing a letter from the mails while employed as a railway postal clerk in Texas, and George F.

Ilescnctl by III Friend, n Son of Former Senator Washburn. WILLLAMSTOWN, Mass., Jan. 26. It. H. Rogers. Williams College. 1302. was the victim of a practical Joke last night, being kidnaped by four masked men, who were evidently hired by fellow-students of the victim. Stanley Washburne, son of former Senator Washburne, of Minnesota, rescued Rogers from his abductors about three miles south of the college. "Washburne, on horseback, followed the cab In which his friend Rogers was being whisked away, and with a revolver forced the captors to deliver up the young man. Rogers comes from Rochester, N. Y. He was roughly handled and considerably bruised in his struggle to escape. LAWS0N CUP DEFENDER' its dimensions 3iadg piulic by di:si(;ni;u ciiuwm.nsiiield. Larger nntl More Po wer nl Yacht than Columbia lloston Experts Confident She NVill lie a Winner. ROSTON, Jan. 26. The dimensions of the Lawson cup defender were made public today by Designer Crowninshield. The figures show tho boat to be somewhat larger and more powerful than the Columbia and, although no data is furnished as to sail area, the increase in wetted surface of 23S square feet over the 1S10 defender Indicates that the Boston boat will probably carry considerable more canvas. The dimensions furnished to-day are as follows: Length over all, 140 feet lO'i inches; length on water line, 00 feet; overhang forward, 27 feet 5 inches; overhang aft, 23 feet 5 Inches; beam, extreme, 22 feet HVi Inches; beam at water line 23 feet 11 inches; draft, extreme, 20 feet; freeboard at stemhead, 6 feet 11 inches; freeboard, least, 4 feet; freeboard at stern, 4 feet 8 inches; beam at forward end water line, 15 feet; beam at after end water line, IS feet 9 Inches; beam at stern, Jl feet 8 inches; center lateral plane aft. L. W. L., 51 feet 5 Inches; center buoyancy aft L. W. L., 47.25 per cent.; area lateral plane, 772.6 square feet; area amidship section, 117.9 square feet; area L. W. L. plane, 1.771.5 square leet; wetted surface, 2,913.5 square feet. The Boston yachtsmen are delighted with the design of the Lawson cup defender and many of them confidently declare that the Boston boat will not only be five minutes faster than the Columbia on the thirty-mile course, but will show her heels to the Herreshoff creation of 1101. The lines of the Lawson boat show a much more powerful yacht than the Columbia, carrying a greater sail area, although her tonnage will be practically the same as the ISO! Herreshoff boat, so that with greater driving power an increase of speed is practically assured. Flouting on her designed water line of exactly 90 fett, the Lawson boat will displace a trifle over 146 tons, compared with the Columbia' 145 tons, but as the Boston boat will undoubtedly be lightened until sh floats several inches shorter, her tonnage will probably be very close to if not less than that of the Columbia. Her sail plan was not given out to-day, but sufficient Is known to assure a much greater area than has ever been carried by a cup defender. In brief, her design shows much greater stability in form than in the case of the Columbia, with less dead rise and a flatter floor. Her bilges, however, have a harder turn, but her other lines are remarkably easy. Although floating on practically the same water line, the Lawson boat will be considerably longer than the lSiO cup defender, being nearly ten feet longer over all and three inches greater draught. The Belmont Syndicate' Boat. BRISTOL, R. I., Jan. 26. In timbering out the Belmont syndicate boat at Herreshoff's, the same plan is lollowed that was adopted on the Defender and copied on the Columbia, that of studding first the mid-section and then working piecemeal toward the ends. In this way a more even balance Is obtained, consequently less danger of the frames warping from their positions. The frames are going up rapidly on the stern post, but those in the stem are being set up less rapidly. The outline of the frames of the fore body snows a powerful and seaworthy design, not too much cut away, yet of such finely drawn lines as to enable the boat to carry ner canvas with ease In any sea. Nearly every frame needed for the boat is bent, out there are yet many to be trued up. It is understood that enough plates are now fitted to warrant the work of plating to begin the latter part of next week. In fact, one ot the Tobin bronze plates was lifted to Its position this morning In the way of proving tho fit. WANT A WARM BERTH. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) bone broken by a falling bucket. He sued for $20,000 damages with the result as stated. Lewis Edmond Spayd. of Rockport : Moses R. Turner, of Adams, and Charles NV. Grcsham. of Fredericksburg, have been admitted to practice before the Interior Department. XXX Indiana postmasters of the presidential class were nominated to the Senate as follows: Joel V. Hamilton. Eaton, Delaware county; Louis T. Dell, Flora. Carrol county; Alva T. Hart, at the National Military Home. Grant county, and William E. Fox, at Wolcott, White county. XXX Senator Fairbanks to-day Introduced bills to pension Flavlus Shanks, Company K, One-hundred-and-slxteenth Indiana Infantry and Tenth Battery, and Jane Farmer. widow of Alexander P. Davis, Company F, Fifty-second Indiana Infantry, each at $00 monthly. XXX Philip Bros, of Columbus, Ind., was to-day reinstated In the Government Printing Office on the recommendation of Senator Fairbanks. He was employed In the office" during tho Harrison administration but was discharged under Cleveland because he was a Republican. xxx The dead letter office scandal in the Postoffice Department over the annual sale of articles of value that find their way there was revived to-diy by the final action taken by First Assistant Postmaster General Johnson in the case of Clerk Sholes, whose dismissal was recommended by the Inspectors who Investigated the affair. There were four of these clerks, one of whom was from Indiana, R. C. Walton, of Henry county. The recommendation of dismissal in his case and one other was carried out. The other two were allowed to remain, but were cautioned that a repetition of- their offense would lead to their discharge. xxx The deficiency estimates of the Postoffice Department transmitted to Congress are the following to pay Indiana postmasters and contractors sums due to them: S. P. White, postmaster at Oak Ridge, Martincounty, compensation underestimated for second quarter 1900. $20.16; O. P. Curamlng, postmaster at Voorhees. Vermillion county, for same, $19.33; iL A. Babcock, star mall contractor. $27.53; A. A. Calle. JT4.2S; Goodner Co wies, $206.71; F. S. Smith, 111.97. XXX Senator Fairbanks to-day received telegrams from nearly every bank and banker In Indiana urging the repeal of the stamp ax on bank checks and drafts. It looks as though they had put In their Saturday half-holiday in this way. This particular tax brings in $7.000.000 revenue annually cna CQzzrc-izz, tLlzH it will renla.

Leaders of Both Parties Are "Working to Purify Itockport Conditions. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ROCKPORT, Ind., Jan. 26. The crusade against lawbreakers which originated as a result of the lynching: here last December has taken an important turn. A welldefined plan is beinp executed to dlsfranhlse a large part of the floating vote in this city and county, mostly blacks. This action Is an Immediate result of the murder of Simons, in this city, last December, but the murder and consequent lynching were only the climax of a long rclgn of lawlessness brought about by , a lax enforcement of the laws. And the root of the entire trouble Is politics. The power of the black man In elections and the license given him as a logical result have been xjost demoralising. The better element for a long time protested against these conditions, but were unable to break the rute of the machine. For some time before the murder of Simons It was common comment that something terrible soon would happen here, and that event, though awful in itself, was the best ' thing . that ever happened for thl3 community. Since then Idlers have been forced to work or leave town, bawdy houses have closed and the county clerk has been kept busy issuing licenses to negro couples. But the most important action is now being taken. When the Good Citizens' League was formed, after the recent lynching. It was decided by the leaders of both parties that the best way to get rid of the worst elements, both negro and white, was to disfranchise them. A few men who had handled the money in the fall campaign agreed to go before the grand Jury and give evidence sufficient to Indict 150 or 200 men for vote-selling. The grand Jury is now in session, and it is generally known that the evidence has been given and that wholesale indictments will follow. A large number of the guilty ones have left the State, and other no doubt will follow. Court is in session and about ready to adjourn, but the knowing ones say that arrests will be made at once and trials begun this session. The negroes are excited and angry. No outbreak ha occurred," but conservative men fear that trouble of the worst kind will follow. Many men go armed constantly. The worst feature of the situation is that some prc&ilnent Republican politicians are fighting the attempt at disfranchisement and are upholding the negroes, on the ground that the plan is a Democratic trick to secure political control of this city and county. . More Arrests at CrawfordsTllIe. Special to th Indianapolis Journal. CRAWFORDSVILLE. Ind.. Jan. 26. Arrests are being made to-day of the men who are charged with selling their votes, and most of the cases will come tr trial on Monday.

Morton Lindaweod, Willis Eeerln-. Harry Baum. Those tz9 ilsdti c-"7 trera UL

FOR KILLING HIS SISTER HO II E It T S. FOSnt'RG l'SDER AIUIEST AT P1TTSF1ELW, MASS. Girl Was Supposed to Have Ileen Shot 1y Burglar, nntl tlie Arrest Was a Surprise. PITTSFIELD, Mass., Jan. 26. Robert S. Fosburg was placed under arrest here today charged with manslaughter in causing the death of Miss May L. Fosburg, daughter of a prominent Buffalo, N. Y., contractor, here on Aug. 20, HK)0. The prisoner, who is a brother of the victim, was Indicted at the recent sitting of the Berkshire county grand jury. The result, while not altogether unexpected in some quarters, was a surprise to the 'citizens at large, many of whom accepted tho theory prevalent at the time of the murder that Miss Fosburg had been shot by burglars. The authorities state that they have been upable to find evidence that burglars entered the Fosburg house, and it is believed that the police have reached the conclusion that the shooting was the result of a family quarrel. When the murder of Miss Fosburg occurred last August, it was announced that three burglars had made masks out of pillow cases, had entered the Fosburg house and that Root L. Fosburg, tne father, having attacked the intruders, knocked a revolver from the hand of one of them, and was beaten off just as Miss Fosburg came to his assistance. At that instant, it was stated, one of the burglars recovered the revolver, and, placing the muzzle almost against the . young woman's breast, fired. The girl fell Into the arms of her brother Robert, who, It was said, quickly laid her on the floor and attacked the man who had done the shooting. A blow with a sandbag caused the young man to loosen his hold and the three masked men made their escape. Fosburg was still confined in the police station to-night, unable thus far to obtain bail. His bail was at first placed at $20,000, and It was supposed he would have no difficulty In obtaining It. The amount was not forthcoming, however, and the officials were waited upon by influential personal friends who reauested that the prisoner's bonds be reduced to $12.000, stating that this amount would soon be raised. The ball was accordingly reduced. This evening Fosburg was visited by his wife, father, mother and two sisters, Esther and Beatrice, and Mrs. Chapin, an intimate friend of the family. They remained some time in earnest conversation with him, his wife remaining long after the others had departed. The police are giving out absolutely none of the evidence upon which the prisoner is held, and the fact that the arrest of Fosburg was made on a bench warrant, based upon the finding of the grand Jury, relieves the chief of police of the responsibility of that action. It develops that at the coroner's Inquest Mii3 Bertha Sheldon, of Providence, R. I., who was at the house on the night of the murder, failed to put in an appearance. The murder is suposed to have occurred at about 1 o'clock, and at about 9 o'clock that same morning Miss Sheldon left for her home. Since then even effort has failed to bring her here to testify at the inquest. VERDI DIED THIS MORNING. Yesterday's Announcement of Ills Death "Was Premature. - MILAN, Italy, Jan. 27, 3 a. m.
