ctcs, but. taking these conditions Into account, it is apparent to the committee that there Is great room for economy In the heating rroblem. One of the member of the commute said last nicht that he firmly believed that an expert could take the tabulated statements of the heating systems of the several institutions and save the State H)X) a year in that one item. QUESTION OF INSURANCE. Again, when the question of Insurance is considered. It is found that the State pays out approximately J7.0"0 annually in premiums to Insurance companies, and it is a question whether th State could not better afford to carry its own insurance. Large private corporations do this, and do it with economy. Why not the State of Indiana? it is asked. Still again, a reference to the statements shows that the State has paid out over 116.000 to architects during the last two years. The question is raised here if it would not be economy and wisdom to create another State offlce, or department, to handle all the architectural work, etc., for all the institutions. Another great value of these reports is the assistance they will be to members of the Legislature. When a bill comes up at present, appropriating a certain sum for a certain institution, the average member of the Legislature has no means of knowing whether the appropriation should be made, other than the recommendation of the legislative committee. With these reports in the state library he can in a short time Inform himself thoroughly as to conditions at the Institution in question, and can take n, position based on his own knowledge, not on the statement of a committee or of another member. Future legislative committees will also find that these reports will greatly simplify their work. The question of prison labor contracts Is one that will come up for the General Assembly to dispose of this winter. The present contracts expire In 1301, before another fesslon of the Legislature, and this winter the representatives and senators must face the problem that has proved the most perplexing in connection with the penal and reformatory institutions. These reports will be of great value In connection with the disposition of this question. The legislative committee will visit the Institution for the Blind in this city today. To-night It leaves for the asylum at Kvansville. and Wednesday it will be at the State Normal at Tcrre Haute. NEW CHICAGO HOSPITAL.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. Representative Overstreet arrived from Indianapolis this afternoon, and will be temporarily at the Arlington. Mrs. Overstreet will not Join him until after the holidays. Mr. Overstreet does not look for much legislation this term, aside from routine and unfinished business. He thinks the question of Cuban reciprocity, which could properly be called unfinished business, will receive pome attention. He shares the views of other Indiana congressmen that there will be no attempt to revise the tariff this term. XXX All of the Republican members of Congress from Indiana are here to-night except Representatives Brick. Watson and llolliday. Mr. Hemenway arrived this afternoon and will stay at the Normandie. Merrill Moores, deputy attorney general for Indiana, arrived in Washington this afternoon to take up some matters on Monday in the United States Supreme Court. While here he will move to dismiss what Is known as the Bank of Commerce case. It grows out of a proceeding brought by the Bank of Commerce in the Marlon Circuit Court to have its name changed. Judge Allen declined to allow the name to be changed, holding that the Institution was defunct that its charter had expired. The? bank applied to the State Supreme Court and the lower court's ruling was affirmed. The case was then brought to the Surreme Court of the United States and Mr. Moores is now here to ask that it be wiped off the docket. Mr. Moores will also enter a motion to have the mortgage deduction case advanced In the United States Supreme Court. It Is not believed that anything can be done toward advancing the case until the appointment of Justice Holmes has been confirmed. xxx Senator A. D. Cgborn, of New Castle, who Is in Washington, will be admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States on Monday, on motion of Merrill Moores. xxx Walter K. Landis, postmaster at San Juan, Porto Rico, Is spending a few days In Washington before returning to the Island. While here he will talk over tome matters with the Postottlce Department. He will leave for New York, and in a few days will sail for San Juan. XXX Among the guests at the Willard to-night are Mr. and Mrs. James Noel and Charles Martindale, of Indianapolis.

Is at the Arlington and Ferdinand Winter, who arrived from Philadelphia, where he has been looking after legal matters. Is staying at the Willard. Harry S. New is also here. It is understood that the Indianapolis men all favor the candidacy of It. O. Hawkins for district Judge of Indiana, and that they will see the President while they are here in Mr. Hawkins's interest. xxx Mr. and Mrs. Alpheus II. Snow, who have lived in Washington for several years and who are now staying at the Willard, will return to Indianapolis to reside permanently. They will start west within the next week. Mr. Snow's bpok, which was completed some time ago, has been a distinct success. xxx Chairman Mercer, of the House committee on public buildings and grounds, expects Congress at this session to pass a public building bill. "I have been of the opinion from the start," he said, "that the rear of the Indianapolis building, facing the park, should be completed, and it will be if the Indianapolis people and the Indiana delegation takej the matter In hand and acts quickly." Of the Democratic members of the Indiana delegation In Congress Messrs. Zenor, Griffith and Robinson are here. Mr. Robinson is staying at the Driscoll, near the Capitol, and Mr. Griffith is at tho Varnum. XXX The Indiana young women attending tho different educational Institutions In and about Washington have been made happy by Senator Fairbanks, who has had passes to the Senate gallery forwarded to them. It is expected the young women will be out In force Monday to witness the exercises Incident to the opening of the session. There Is a considerable number of Indiana girls attending the different colleges in Washington and near-by cities. xxx Thomas R. Shlpp, private secretary to Senator Beveridge. came near smoking everybody out of the Senate wing of the Capitol building Saturday morning. In Senator Beverldge's room, that of the committee on Territories, there Is a "wood fireplace." When Mr. Shlpp arrived from Indianapolis, Saturday morning, he proceeded to have some logs piled on and the fire set going at a brisk rate. The smoke, however. Instead of pasting up the chimney, passed out into the room, and thence into the corridors and into other apartments of tho Capitol. Experts from about the building were called in, but no one could remedy the difficulty. The situation was getting desperate, when an employe of the building made the wise suggestion that It might be a good plan to investigate the top of the chimney. A man was sent up, and found a board lying across it. C. A. C. A It SI Y ORDERS. Leaves of Absence and Assignment to Dnty Recently Posted. WASHINGTON, Nov.

Gould-Orient System to Work Great Thins: for All Concerned. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 30.-Presldent A. E. Stillwell, of the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient Railway, said to-day that the election of George J. Gould to the directorate of the road did not mean that Gould would invest money in the road, which Is already financed. "The Gould-Orient combination will make the shortest route across the continent by seven hundred miles," said President Stlllwell. "It means that the entire Gould system of railroads will be a feeder for the Orient. In return the Gould lines will have an outlet to the Pacific ocean." Mr. Stlllwell added that the Orient road would be completed from Sweet Water, Tex., to Kansas City within eighteen, months. CASE OF DIL CRUM. The Charges in Relation to Ilia Conduct nt the Minneapolis Convention. Washington Letter in Boston Transcript. The appearance in this city of Dr. William D. Crum, of Charleston, the colored candidate for collector of customs, whose appointment seemed a few days ago a foregone conclusion, has been the signal for a great revival of interest in his case. The only charge his competitors and enemies have between them been able to bring against him is that he went to the Minneapolis convention in 1S92 pledged to support Secretary Blaine for the presidential nomination and was switched over to the support of Harrison by the promise of the Charleston postofHce. and that when word was carried to the White House that this story would be widefy published President Harrison withdrew his name. It now appears that Dr. Crum went to Minenapolis under instructions from his own local convention to vote for Harrison; that he was recognized at Minneapolis from beginning to end as a Harrison delegate, and was a member of the secret committee which the Harrison organization maintained to ke p the leaders in touch with the sentiment of the several delegations; that he attended the so-called "demonstration" meeting held on the afternoon of the second day to count r.oses and impress the convention at larse with the President's real strength; that he was dally besieged by the Blaine contingent to Induce him to change his allegiance, ex-Governor Pinchback being particularly assiduous In this effort, but that he refused even to consider any departure from his Instructions; that Senator Wolcott, though greatly annoyed at hi3 obduracy under persuasion, exclaimed: "Although the fellow has fought us, I like his grit;" that his nomination was never made In the regular way sent into the Senate with a message but that the proposal thus to nominate him was laid before the members of the postofflce committee, whom his enmies approached with the story of his treachery as the only excuse that could be trumped up for opposing him In a Republican body; and that, when he ascertained that his continuance as a candidate was liable to embarrass the President's campaign for .re-election, he went to the White House himself and asked Mr. Harrison to drop the matter, as he was unwilling to let his personal fortunes stand in the way of his party's success. Proof on all these points appears to be at hand, mofrt of it from written record.?, but frome from the membership of the Blaine contingent In the convention. If President Roosevelt reconsiders his original purpose, therefore, it will be on some other ground than that charges have been made and confirmed against Crum's character. The whole fight centers upon his race and color, and that Is what will finally decide the question of his appointment. Kipling's Latest Poem. London Letter. You would scarce expect to find the author of "The Recessional," turning out as dainty a bit of society verse as Austin Dobson could do, but apparently there Is nothing that Rudyard Kipling can't do. A remarkable volume about to be published here at the medest price of $100 each, edited by Mrs. Harcourt Williamson and entitled "A Book of Beauty," contains the following surprising contribution from the "uncrowned laureate:" Roses red and roses white. Plucked I for my love's delight; She would none of all my posies Fade me Bather her blue roses. Half the world I wandered throu&h. Peeking where much flowers jrrew Half the world unto my quest Answered but with laugh and Jest. Here I came at wlntertlde.

WAITING ON ACCOUNTANTS

MIE STHIKK COMMISSIONERS AUE HAYISG A SLOW TIME. Abortive Independent Negotiation Hnve Delayed Their Work Wage Advance for Telegrapher. SCRANTON, Pa., Nov. 30. A conference of the mine strike commissioners will be held here Tuesday night, prior to the resumption of the hearings, on Wednesday morning. Commissioners Clark, Watkins and Parker are here, but doing absolutely nothing besides waiting for the return of the other commissioners. At Tuesday night's conference it Is expected the commission will prepare a statement setting forth the purposes and results, or rather lack of results, of the ten-day recess, and defining specifically the position of the commission regarding the recess. Expert accountants on both sides are going over the companies books with a view ot eliminating. as far as possible, the contentions regarding the mathematics of the controversy, and particularly as to wage figures. This was the ostensible primal purpose of the recess. The negotiations for amicable adjustment of all the matters in dispute set back the undertaking of this work five days. As a consequence, the commission will have to busy itself for a week or so at some other features of the case while awaiting a report from the belated acocuntants. Laid Before Executive Board. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Nov. 30.-The 2,500 employes of the Kingston Coal Company have agreed to submit their grievances with the company to the executive board of the United Mine Workers. The company is opposed to the check weighmen employed by the miners, and on the last pay day tefused to deduct from the wages of the employes the amount necessary to pay monthly salaries of the weighmen. This brought about a crisis and at a meeting of the employes held to-day It was decided to lay the matter before the executive board of the miners union. STRIKE AT MARSEILLE. It Has Paralyzed the Port and la Affecting; Other Places. MARSEILLE, Nov. 30. The strike at this port, which was started last week by the stokers to obtain an increase of wages, is now practically complete as regards the steamers here. As ships arrive the hands desert and the harbor is so crowded by empty vessels that it is difficult to find room for new comers. There has been no disorder as yet, but the government is sending troops to meet any emergency. Two regiments of cavalry arrived to-day. The strike practically has paralyzed commerce along the coast, as it is spreading to other ports. Six hundred passengers are now waiting at Marseille for transportation to Algiers. The malls for Corsica, Algeria and Tunis are delayed from twenty-four to forty-eight hours, but the authoritlese succeeded In forwarding a quantity of sacks on Saturday and it was announced to-day that the government has arranged to assure the mail service by means of naval vessels. The government also will furnish the regular liners with seamen from the navy. As Corsica Is largely dependent on the steamer service from Marseille for provisions, the scarcity of Hour and other necessities already is being felt In the island. The strikers' committee to-night telegraphed to the minister of marine that if the strike was not settled in five days' time an appeal would be Issued for a general strike to all the ports of France. Detter Pay for Telegraphers. MILWAUKEE. Wis., Nov. 30. All the telegraph operators on the Wisconsin Central Railroad have been granted an increase in salary amounting to S3 a month for every employe In that department.

CHICAGO, Nov. 30. "The Roman Catholics in the United States are annually paying into the national treasury 125,000,000 beyond their rightful taxes and are educating 1,000,000 children without charging the country one cent for It. Yet we have never been given one word of praise for this tremendous work. The country fs not to blame for this. "We ourselves are at fault because wo have never told the United States what we have been doing." Theso words formed part of an earnest plea for national aid to the Catholic schools that the Very Rev. William O'Brien Pardow, S. J., of New York city, made to an audience of Catholics that filled the Auditorium, to-night. The subject of the lecture was "St. De la Salle and Modern Education,", and Its object was the raising of funds for the use of the teaching orders of the Catholic Church. The management of the affair reported after the meeting that $25,000 had been the net amount realized. This sum included the $10,000 offered by W. Bourke Cockran, of New York, conditionally upon a like amount being raised by the sale of seats. SHOT BY BANDITS. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) by various friends of the school. The chapel is of the English collegiate style and will make a splendid addition to the equipment of Howe School. The new dining room Is named McKenzie Hall in honor of the present rector. It will cost $11,000 when completed. Both cornerstones were laid by the Rt. Rev. John Hazen White, bishop of the diocese of Michigan City. A large number of visitors were present. The procession to the site of the new buildings was led by the battalion of cadets under command of Major Duval. Following came the choir, the trustees of the school and the clergy. The four senior cadet officers placed the stones In place, and as the bishop pronounced the word of consecration the battalion presented arms. After the ceremony was completed the battalion marched to the school chapel, where a very appropriate address was delivered by the bishop, who called to mind the lives and characters of the men In whose memory the school is founded, and also expressed a deep appreciation of the splendid work and tx.-nefactlons of Mrs. Frances M. Howe, the only surviving founder of the school. 30 TRUTH IN STORY. Figment of an Elwood Correspondent's Mind Given Its Quietus. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELWOOD, Ind., Nov. 30. The Elwood police say there Is no truth whatever, so far as they have been able to learn, in the story printed in an Indianapolis morning paper to the effect that Mrs. Charles Dubois, the young wife of a prominent farmer, was found dead in a room in her home west of this city on Saturday; that beside the woman's dead body was a bottle of carbolic acid and a note stating she had committed suicide. It was further stated that an autopsy failed to reveal any traces of poison In the stomach, but one side of the head was found crushed, apparently by a blow by a blunt instrument. The young woman and Dubois, who is ten years her senior, the story proceeded, were married but a few weeks ago, and it was further stated that the neighbors suspected murder and that the police were Investigating. Of all these circumstances the police say they are in complete Ignorance. BYEHS SUCCEEDS II CRT. Former Is In Charge, but Formal Transfer Will De Made To-Day. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Details which have arrived by telegraph concerning the march of General Manning's flying column, which relieved the garrison of Rohotleh, Somaliland, on Nov. 19. in the Mad Mullah's country, and mall accounts of the original British reverse at Erego, all dilate on the utter worthlessness of the Somali levies, of which the British forces were mainly made up.

The venerable editor of the Lend-a-Hand Record," the Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale, of Boston, In an essay in the November number of that publication, makes some rather remarkable declarations. He warns the owners of the anthracite coal lands in Pennsylvania that, unless they and their miners stop quarreling, it might happen that the anthracite coal strike commission would recommend that the State of Pennsylvania proceed to take possession of the coal mines and work them. If this does happen, he says, the State of Pennsylvania "will not be asked to do anything remarkable when it is commanded to purchase sonje or all the anthracite lands of the top highlands between the Susquehanna and the Delaware." But if, continues the good doctor, the State of Pennsylvania "should flinch, if It should refuse, there Is another political entity, stronger than the State of Pennsylvania. Its name is the United States. When It is necessary, it takes what the national need requires, from the State as from the individual. If it needs for Its navy, for Its internal commerce, or for the people of the United States, to take the coal lands of Pennsylvania, It can take them. And it will take them unless the State of Pennsylvania assumes the duty which Is properly its own." Dr. Hale Js in his eighty-second year, and it cannot be questioned that he is, as the Boston Advertiser is pleased to say, "a man universally admired for wisdom and justice," and possibly, too, "a few plain words from him" have in the past, as the Advertiser declares, "stilled the babbling of many tongues." But he had best left these latest words of his unsaid and unprinted. They inculcate a pernicious, a most dangerous doctrine. Their inevitable tendency Is to discredit and break dpwn time-honored principles as to the private ownership of property. Neither the State of Pennsylvania nor that "political entity" named the United States of America ever has done just what Dr. Hale says It Is Pennsylvania's duty to do. If it ever happens that free American labor and the owners of the anthracite mines cannot agree on terms for working the mines, we hope that, in the name of the Constitution of the United States, the mine workers will shut up shop, and that the State and federal government will let them severely alone. If the trustees of the South Congregational (Unitarian) Church are ever unable to agree with a minister of the Gospel as to salary and so can't fill their pulpit, we hope to see them lock up their meeting places and go out of the business of soul-saving. God grant that the government leave them free to do with their own as they like. It will be an evil day for the United States if its people ever come to look to their government to solve all their difficulties for them. May Dr. Hale not live to see it! AN ANTI-MARRIAGE RULE. Postmaster General Payne Rale Not In Interest of Good Order. Philadelphia Record. Perhaps it is inevitable that a politician of the experience of Postmaster General Payne should regard the employment of clerks in his department as a matter of favor. He has a strong predilection for the old system under which appointments were made to please members of Congress and other Influential politicians. It Is for this reason that he has ruled against the continued employment of women clerks who shall become wives. H'e assumes that a married woman may depend on her husband for support, and that she should give way to an unmarried woman who needs the place. This is not the way in private business establishments. The merchant or other business man selects perEons who are qualified for the work and employs them because he needs their services. If his women clerks choose to get married that is their own affair. The marriage of a clerk in the Postofflce Department does not impair her value to the government, and if the postmaster general did not consider her employment as a matter of favor he would hardly discharge her for carrying out the proper destiny of woman. It Is conceivable that propinquity favors the falling in love of young men and young women In the service of a department, and that by combining their salaries a young man and a young woman who live In boarding houses can establish a comfortable home. As salaries rule at Washington the young woman would find marriage a great sacrifice of comfort had she to depend on the earnings of the husband. The order of the postmaster general means that many clerks who would marry and be happy will remain single. To encourage marriage among the thousands of young men and women employed in a great public department is to encourage cood morals. It is true that In many cities school boards have decided against the employment of married women as teachers, but there is nothing in experience which establishes the wisdom of the policy. However, the cases are unlike, since it is a matter of knowledge that most of the marriages of department clerks are to other department clerks. It is a serious thing to place obstacles in the way of marriage, especially in an age when an Increasing number of young people show a preference for single life. Operation for Appendicitis.
