COST OP ARMOR PLATE TO BE INVESTIGATED Admiral O'Neil Will Proceed to Europe and Make an In vestigation. CONGRESS WANTS DATA WASHINGTON, March 2. The Navy Department proposes to make an early and thorough investigation of the cost of producing armor plate, etc.. in European countries, and orders have been given to Rear Admiral Charles O'Neil, chief of ordnance, to proceed abroad and make such investigation. Admiral O'Neil retires on March 15 by statutory requirement. In view of the discussion which yearly attends the formulation of the naval appropriation bill in Congress regarding the question of armor plate and the price which should be paid for it. Secretary Moody determined to get together as much information as he possibly could on this subject. The high rank of Admiral O'Neil and the fact that he is regarded as being eminently fitted for this duty, causes the secretary to designate him as his representative abroad. The points to be visit. d will be left to Admiral O'Neils discretion, but it Is hoped that his Investigation will result in securing such exhaustive data on the entire subject as to put Congress in a position where It can have a better idea of the matter when considering increases in the navy. PRESIDENT OF MORMON CHURCH AFFIRMS HE IS A BELIEVER IX POLYGAMY (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) ruff declaring a suspension of the polygamy principle was a revelation, was it notr "Tea." "How can that be?" pressed Mr. Burrows. "One declares in favor of polygamy and the other stops It." "I adhere to both In my belief," said Mr. Smith. "I believe ploygamy was right or I should never have married more than one wife." "As I understand It." Mr. Hoar interrupted, "The last revelation does not prohibit polygamy, but merely suspends the former principle commanding It? It may still be believed that th- practice Is innocent and proper, but as the divine command to continue it is stopped, the members of the church sumbit to the civil law on the question of pluml marriages?" "That is right." subscribed Mr. Smith. Mr. Taylor referred to Mr. Smith as the daily associate and superior in the church of Mr. Smoot, and said that Mr. Smith Is the husband of five wives and believes still in the principles of polygamy. "Do you expect to prove in that connection that the president and twelve apostles form a propaganda of polygamy?" asked Mr. Beveridge. "We do." said Mr. Taylor. "I think the course taken is pertinent," aid Mr. Beveridge. After further questioning and an executive seralon. the committee adjourned till to-morrow. TO BUILD A BREWERY.

Postmaster W. H. Anderson, whose friends, through Senator Beveridge and Congressman Brick, are asking Congress to relieve him of responsibility for the loss of J11.O00 in the failure of the Indiana National Bank, has Just revealed that he had no choice of depository other than his own office safe or the bank, now defunct, for the other two banks, the First National and the St. Joseph Valley, refused to handle the funds because there was too much work involved and no remuneration. DIGESTIBLE CANDY. InfPti ovr That Men Cm I'nt. Nearly every man has a craving for a bit of candy now and then, but nearly every one "wishes he hadn't" after eating it, for there follows more or less disturbance and 'don't feel good." That Is because cane and beet sugar candy has to be handled by the liver and generally that organ has about all it can do already, so the sugar and candy is a heavy tax on the liver and sets up a congestion of that organ, showing a coated tongue, fevered stomach, bilious skin and too often In serious liver and kidney troubles. Knowing this the food expert has been at work again, this time to give the people candy they can enjoy and not suffer from. The are known aa Dextro Candies made from Post Sugar. This sugar is of the "fruit group." which does not tax the liver at all but is ready for quick assimilation when ittrii. Children and adults can use Dextro Candies freely and thus oltain a most valuable body food with none t the ill effects following the use of ordinary candy made from cane sugar The food element is a strong feature In these ca utiles and every variety la dellclous.

Special to Mm Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON: Mar. h 2.-F. H. Cunningham, formerly of Delaware county, president of the Rural Carriers' Association, today appeared before the Senate committee on postoffices. He made an argument for Increased salaries, and urged that the privileges of th carriers in soliciting and acting as agents for firms and corporations should not be abridged. Mr. Cunningham spoke in favor of a salary graded by years, such as is embodied In the bill Introduced by Senator Fairbanks. This measure provides that In the first year of service a carrier shall receive 1600. the second year 173), and In the third and succeeding years I860. He also urged that the carriers be given fifteen days annual leave and all national holidays. To-day President Cunningham was summoned before the Civil-service Commission to explain his appearance here as a lobbyist in conn ecttOB with legislation affecting the rural carriers. No decision has yet bee.u reached by the commission whether Mr. Cunningham should be reprimanded or not. Representative Brick left for Indiana today. He will remaiu in the State until the latter part of the month. -r A. W. Wishard, of Indianapolis, has returned to Washington. He is interested in the bill introduced in behalf of the State Board of Agriculture. This measure, reported favorably by the Senate committee today, directs the secretary of war to make an appraisement of the damages to the state board's buildings in Indianapolis as a result of their occupancy by Indiana troops during the Spanish war. The bill has already passed the House.

The Senate committee on commerce has agreed to report favorably the bill introduced by Senator Beveridge authorizing the Southern Indiana Railway Company to construct a bridge across the river a few miles north of Terre Haut-. J. T. Huttoh. of Hammond, was to-day selected as architect of the public building to be constructed in that city. Mr. Hutton was one of the several architects who submitted designs for the Hammond building. His selection Is conditional upon his making certain alterations in his drawings to conform to suggestions of the department. The sum of SHu.uuu is available for the Hammond building. One of the interesting fights of the session will be started on Monday before the committee on appropriations, of which Representative Hemenway is chairman. John Kennedy, formerly of Indianapolis, has been conducting a campaign for several months to place typesetting machines in the Government Printing OfBce. This innovation is stoutly opposed by labor leaders. Chairman Hemenway gave notice to-dny that a hearing would be given on Monday to all concerned. Representative Robinson, of Indiana, today introduced a resolution directing the secretary of commerce and labor to suspend at once and indefinitely the killing of fur seals on the Pribyloff islands, Alaska. John E. Lamb, of Terre Haute, left for New York to-day. He will return home later In the week. Mr. Lamb has been here as the representative of Indiana distillers, who are opposed to certain provisions of the pending pure-food bill. He has also tr.ken occasion to talk with Democratic party leaders here, and will canvass the situation in the metropolis. Mr. Lamb belongs to the conservative or reorganization wing of the party. He agrees with the reorganizers that Bryan, Hearst et al. should bd laid on the shelf. Thad Pugh has been appointed regular carrier and William Rippe substitute in the rural free delivery service at Windfall, Ind. J. E. M. STATUS OF THE RED CROSS SOCIETY ABROAD WASHINGTON. March 2. The President to-day sent to the Senate the report of the secretary of state on inquiries' concerning the status of the Red Cros Society in foreign countries. In Great Britain no financial support is given the society by the government. In France no financial support Is given, but in time of war an indemnity of 20 cents per day Is allowed the society for each sick or wounded soldier taken care of bv the society. In Germany the society is allowed to establish lotteries, but no direct government aid !s given. The Netherlands pays the salary of the society's secretary and makes an allowance for certain expenses. Belgium gives support in time of war; Denmark contributes $1,00) annually; Austria. $2,4U; Switzerland. $5.00; Japan, $1,250 from the Emperor and Empress. Russia gives no fixed sum. but a small tax is allowed on the sale of certain railroad tickets. In time of war the government pays for the care of the wounded bv the society. PANAMA CANAL RIGHTS WILL SOON BE PAID FOR Isthmian Republic to Receive $10,000,000 and the French Company $40,000,000. BANKS TO BE CALLED OX WASHINGTON, March 2. A conclusion of the negotiations for the title to the Panama canal property is in sight. Within thirty days, perhaps in a shorter time, the United States will be in full possession of the property, and the money consideration will have been paid to both the Republic of Panama and to the new Panama Canal Company. Attorney General Knox had a conference to-day with the President, at which the whole subject, as far as the legal phases are concerned, was considered. At the conclusion of the conference the attorney genreal authorized the following statement: "I have advised the President that he is authorized to pay at once to the Republic of Panama the S10.ooo.000 stipulated for by the treaty, the ratifications of which have Just been exchanged. Also, that he is authorized to pay to the new Panama Canal Company the $40,000.000. which, under the agreement between the United States and that company, we are to pay for its property, and have notified the canal company we are ready to close the transaction. The details in connection with the transfer of the canal company's property should not require more th;-n thirty days." Secretary Shaw practically has completed arrangements with the Treasury Department for the money necessary to meet the obligations incurred through the purchase of the French Company s propertv. It is likely that in a short time he will issue a call upon the banks which are depositories of government funds for the money to be paid out. His arrangements have been effected so as nrt to disturb seriously the financial condition of the country. The Senate committee on Interoceanic canals to-day agreed to report the nominations of the Panama canal commission with a favorable recommendation. The Kittrldge bill for the canal government was referred to a subcommittee of five, to be nani d by acting Chairman PiatL.

WASHINGTON. Mirch 2-The House committee on judiciary to-day began a series of hearings on the Dolllver-Hepburn bill, granting the State s police Jurisdiction over "original packages" of intoxicating liquors shipped from other States. E. C. Dinwiddle, legislative sujerintendent of the American Anti-saloon League of Washington, was made manager of the advocates of the measure. and Representative ButtholJt. of Missouri, had charge of the opposition. Mr. Dinwiddle opened the argument. "Original package" saloons which ixisted in prohibition States some years ago, he said, had been abolished, but the liquor men, whom he termed "ingenious violators of the law." have Initiated new subterfuges and sold liquors in prohibition States through the connivance of agents of express companies and others, whereby liquor in original packages bearing' fictitious addresses could be purchased. This he called a "c. o. d." liquor business. From thirty to forty-five States, he said, have prohibitory or local option laws. He appealed to the committee to remove the obstacle to the successful carrying out of any Internal policy a State might decide upon. "Would you have any objection to a provision placed in the bill that it is not Intended to interfere with the private or family use of liquors?" asked Representative Gillett, of California. Mr. Dinwiddle declared he would object. Representative Shirley, who said he represented a district In which was manufactured more distilled liquors than In other congressional districts in the country, OMMd the argument against the bill. He declared with emphasis that the federal government had recognized and legalized the manufacture of liquor and derived enormous revenue from it each year. He demanded that in view of this Congress should be bold enough either to prohibit by increased taxation the manufacture of liquor, or absolutely prohibit it as an article of Interstate-commerce, but not to resort to the subterfuge of delegating to the States a function which existed only before the formation of the Union, to interfere with interstate commerce.

"I have been attending some of the district conventions," he said last evening, "and came up to Indianapolis for the meeting of the state committee Friday.

March 2.-Gcneral Hernandez, the Venezuelan minister to this country, has received a brief communication from his Foreign Office informing him that President Castro desires him to return home for a conference "upon certain matI ters, whic.i it is easier to talk about than to write about."

EDGAR D. CRUMP ACKER, Who represents the Tenth Indiana district in Congress. JUDGE CRUMPACKER IS IN CITY ON BUSINESS Tenth District Representative Is Stopping at the Claypool Hotel. CHATS ABOUT CHAIRMAN Representative Edgar D. Crumpacker, of the Tenth district, is stopping at the Claypool. When seen by a Journal reporter last evening Mr. Crumpacker disclaimed any political errand in the city, saying he was mere ly here on private business, and added that he had nothing to say. "At least you have found one Indiana congressman who has nothing to say," he remarked, with a smile. Asked about Washington talk of the chairman of the Republican national committee, to fill the position left vacant by the death of Senator Hanna, Mr. Crumpacker said: "There has been more or less talk about different men for the place iu Washington, but more of it has pointed to Senator Elkins than to any other man, I believe. Personally. I think he would be a line mau for the place, as he has many of the qualities necessary to make a success of It. But if Postmaster General Payne were not In the Cabinet, and if his health would permit it, I have no doubt that he would be selected for chairman. He is a man of splendid ability, aud a politiciau who has few equals in the country." In reply to a question as to the report from Washington that President Roo.Jevelt is in favor of Governor Odell, of New York, lor national chairman. Mr. Crumpacker said he had heard little of it in Washington. "The talk about the place has been, as I said, more- or les.s desultory, but I don't believe I have heard Governor Odell mentioned. It has been the custom for some time for the party to practically allow the candidate for President to name his chairman, and Washington people have been waiting to hear from the President. I have no doubt that Governor Odell would make a good chairman, as he is an able and aggressive politician." Mr. Crumpacker said he thought Congress would not adjourn earlier than May 1, but that It looks now that Its work will be done by that time. Mr Crumpacker represents the banner Republican district of the State. He has been elected to Congress four times, the last time by a majority of 6,500, the largest received by any Indiana congressman. He is a candidate for renomination. and has no opposition, so that he is practically assured of election to his lifth terra in Congress next fall. Expects to He a. Delegate. Among the State politicians who have drifted Into Indianapolis for the meeting of the state committee and for other reasons Is Flnley C. Carson, of Michigan City, the only avowed candidate for delegate to the Republican national convention from the Tenth district. "I expect to go to Chicago for the Tenth," he said, "as there has been no opposition to my candidacy." Prohibition County Convention. The Prohibition county convention will bo held in the Criminal Court room tomorrow at 10 o'clock. Professor A. A. Hopkins, of New York, mentioned as a probable candidate of the party for President, will address the convention. There will be a mass meeting at the same place at night. The Prohibitionists will name a full ticket. J. Fruuk Ilunly In Town. J. Frank Hanly is in Indianapolis on one of his frequent visits, but had little to say yesterday, intimating that he preferred to "say little and saw wood." "There may come a time when I will have a lot of things to tell you," he remarked, "but just now I would prefer to keep quiet." SANTO DOMINGO IS All Little Black Republic Trying to Provoke Uncle Sam to Give It a Spanking. GEN. JIMINEZ'S SCHEME WASHINGTON. March 2.-The administration is puzzled to know how to deal with Santo Domingo. Every report that comes from the island indicates the existence there of a state approaching anarchy. It is said there is no government, regular or revolutionary, to deal with, and the department is loath to embark upon a policy of policing the islands and chasing small guerilla bands through the jungle. It does not care to create a strong government on the island by taking sides in the factional struggles there. Tbl whole subject is under serious consideration by the? administration, which realizes that foreign Interests are looking to the United States to relieve their own governments of the necessity of taking hold in Santo Domingo. NEW YORK. March 2. Gen. Francisco Leoate Vasquez. formerly Dominican consul hen- ajs4 a brother of former President Horacio Vasciuez, of Santo Domingo, asserts that he has doom., ntnry proof that the Jimlnez revolutionists are deliberately making war upon Americans in the island in order that the United States government may be moved to interfere and assume a protectorate over the country. One letter shown by G- n ral V;iscuez purports to have been written by Genend Arias, governor of Monte Cristi. to Jiminez. and says: "We should prefer to cause the- l.-. of Santo Domingo's sovereignty1 and autonomy than submit to the government in this struggle." General Vasquez. who has Just returned from Santo Domingo, asserts that this policy of the revolutionists explains the killing of the mac hinist Johnston, of the United States gunboat Yankee, and the firing on the Clyde line steamer New York by the revolutionists.

Staff Correspondence of the Jourral. SHELBY VIELE. Ind.. March 2. There will be no splitting of votes into such infinitesimal fractions as eighty-fifths as was done Tufsday at Columbus in the Sixth district Republican congressional convention, which will be held here tomorrow. In truth, it is doubtful if there will be such a formality as a roll call during the entire convention, for the unanimity that prevails within the party ranks in this district is so marked that it is believed every action taken will be by acclamation. Certain it is that the candidate for Congress will be chosen by acclamation. Representative James E. Watson will receive a ringing Indorsement of the kind bst calculated to fill to overflowing the cup of joy of a member of Congress. His will be the only name presented to the convention, and for the fourth time the Republicans of the Sixth will present him with a nomination without opposition. Nor is there a contest in prospect for delegates to the national convention and alternates, or presidential elector. The spirit of harmony will bring about an agreement on these matters that will be carried through unanimously. Francis T. Roots, Connersville, and John J. Wingate, of this city, are being prominently mentioned for delegates. Milton (Maxwell, of Union City, probably will be presidential elector. Jesse Reeves, of Richmond, will be the permanent chairman of the convention. The convention will indorse the candidacies of L. p. Newby. Knightstown, and Frank Smith. Brookville, who are seeking, respectively, the nominations for Lieutenant Governor and reporter of the Supreme Court. Among the early arrivals were: Representative James E. Watson and Owen L. Carr, Rushville; J. E. Caskey and .V M. Willoughby, Gre.nsburg; James H. Jones. Thomas B. Millikan, W. O. Barnard. Clay C. Hunt, Bd Jackson. C. M. Christopher, Fred C. Gauze, Newcastle; Fredtrick I.

FURIOUS GERMAN COUNT CAUSES SERIOUS REVOLT Attempts to Punish Equatorial Blacks for Stealing a Lantern and Is Killed. REVENGE OP AFRICANS BERLIN, March 2. The rising of native troops in the Cross and Nsassanang rivers region of German Kameroon, West Africa, resulting in several factories of the Northwest Kameroon' Company being burned down and four Germans killed was caused by the eccentric conduct of Count Von Pueckler and was directly due to the theft of a lantern from the Northwest Kameroon Company. Von Pueckler, who was the government district commissioner, was reputed to be a quiet and sensible administrator, having sound knowledge of native ways and character. He formerly was an employe of the Northwest Kameroon Company, but recently had been employed by the government. Herr Schoeller, president of the company, received in December last a leng letter from Count Von Pueckltr regarding the stolen lantern, concluding with the miT tion that he Intended to mane the property of white men respected by burning five villages. Herr Schoeller inferred from the vi ence of the language of Von Pueckler that the latter was deranged and wmte both to the count and to the agents of the company commanding that nothing be done over so trivial a matter, saying that the company for the first time was about to pay a dividend and adding that the good will of the natives must be cultivated. Herr Schoelh r's letters arrived too late! Count Von Pueckler. with twenty-five men. tried to arrest the head men of one of the' villages, but the count was killed and his escort with difficulty escaped. During the next few days the company's factories on the Cross river were burned down and four agerts were killed. A punitive xpedltloo has now arrived In the hostile district. Count Von Pueckler. as appears from infi rnation subsequently received by Herr Schoeller. had recently given way to fits ot fury against the negroes, attributable to the state of his health as a result of his long residence in the hut climate of equatorial West Africa,

FINAL DIVIDEND PAID ON THECHICAGO FAIR Total Percentage of 14.65 Has Been Refunded on the Claims of the Stockholders. SMALL SUM HELD BACK CHICAGO. March 2 -The accounts of the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 were closed to-day with the payment of a final dividend of 4.65 per cent, to all of the 2,000 stockholders. This payment, with a dividend of 10 per cent., which was paid In makes a total of 14.65 per cent, in dividends paid on the capital stock. Many of the stockholders have expressed their satisfaction at the closing of the business in this way, as it was first thought that less than 10 per cent, dividends would be paid. Several suits against the company are still pending. For this reason a small sum. of money has been retained by the company to meet any possible claim against it. This sum is so small, however, that no furth r dividend will be paid should it not be paid out on claims. "It has been decided by ofllcers that any surplus which may remain after the company's indebtedness has been paid, will be donated to some public work," said Secretary H. O. Edmonds. The entire amount disbursed in the final dividend to-day was $256.000. About J2,ono remains in the hands of the treasurer to meet any claims which may be brought against the company. This amount will be about one cent on each share and all claim for this sum of money has been relinquished by the stockholders in signing a blank voucher for the final dividend. All told, the local organization spent S-6,-000,000 and the national government and the different States $7.000,000, the total amount spent on the Chicago world's fair being $33,000,000.
