The general opinion among the politieians la that there is now nothing in the way of united action. The men who have been active ia the management of the last two national campaigns in this State •ay that only those who were closely identified with the affairs of the party knew how much ill feeling existed at all times between the leaders of the Harrison wing of the party and the men who at all times preferred Gresham to Harrison. They •ay that with so much ill feeling in existence it is remarkable that the party made the showing it did in the State at the last two nation si elections. In 1888 the party in this State, though it had the candidate for President, went into the caraitaign crippled by dissensions. It was not until late in the campaign, it is said? that the men who had been against Harrison and for Gresham went to work with a will. The administration of President Harrison, it is recalled, dkl not strengthen the party in the Bute. The men who were listed in the Gresham column never weakened in their loyalty to the Judge, and the disappointments over not receiving office drove from the Harrison wing of the party many men who had been active in working for Mr. Harrison's nomination. It is again recalled that last year the Gresham wing of the party was almost as strong as it had been four year* before* 1 wv .'* .^ —^..ae - .f- -

contingent, and threw its influence at the Minneapolis convention for Blaine. The m#a who were connected with the Republican Slate committee, while they do hot desire to stir irp oid tjuarreis, say that the committee worked against great odds during the last campaign. The large wing of *the party that had boomed Gresham in 1888 and Blame in iSihf, diinot do anything to assist in the re-election of President Harrison. In Allen county and in other parts of .the State there was positive opposition from these men. It is the opinion of the Republicans who have been talking over the afluins of the party during the last few weeks that a better day is about to dawn. They say that here and there is a “Gresham Republican” who has gone over with Gresham to the Democratic party, but, on the other band, they say, the Republicans of influence who have been such ardent admirers of Gresham for the last ten years, are back into line with the men who have always been opposed to the Gresham movement An ex-member of tha State committee said to-day that, muf’i as he admired cx-l’resident Harrison, he mutt say that it was fortunate for the party that Harrison was out of politics. There was, ha said, always an element that could be counted on to oppose Harrison, and so long as Mr. Harrison was foremost in the Republican politics of the State there would be trouble. He said he could see no reason now whv the Republican^ of Indiana could not unite and stay united. With Blaine dead, Gresham in the Cabinet of a Democratic President, and with Hamson at home, after having been honored all any man eonld wish, he could net see what could arise to endanger future harmony among Indiana Republicans.

THE APPOINTMENT OP BURKE.

It CiwwtM

aewhat of a Sensation Ti> Is City.

Th# appointment of Frank P. Burke, of Jeffersonville, to be United States District Attorney, to succeed Smiley N. Chambers, whose term ended last Friday, has created a political sensation in Indianapolis. The Democratic politicians here had not tbonght that Burke had tha “ghost of a show” of appointment. • No one is more surprised than some of the.men who have visited Washington since the inauguration. Without exception they have reported that John~W. Kern would likely' be appointed, and that if ha was not, that the candidate of Secretary Shearin, ex-Judge Nelson, would likely be the nominee. There were several reasons why it was thought that Mr. Burke would not succeed, in the first place he was on* of the most active anti-Cleveland men in the State. He was on intimate terms with the late James H. Rice, and did all he eould to prevent the vote of Indiana at the national convention last June being cast for Mr. Cleveland. He was for Gray first, last and all the time. With Voorhees, Jamb and Jewett, he held out against Cleveland until he saw that the nomination could not be prevented. In view of the fact that Burke had been so active in his opposition to the nomination of^lr. Cleveland, his candidacy for the dismot attoraeyahip was looked upon by some of the '•original Cleveland men” as a sort of a

joke.

A second reason why the Democratic politicians in general supposed Burke did not stand in danger of political lightning was his record in relation to organized labor. The legislative Committee of the organized workingmen of the State which watched the session of the General Assembly two years ngo hold Burke responsible for the alleged bad treatment they received at the hands ot the State Senate. Burke was the principal character in the “blue book” which tno committee issued. The committee even carried the fignt farther than to write Burke down in the book. They went into his district and assert that they defeated him for renomination for the State Senate. At any rate he was not renominated. When it became known that Burke was a candidate for the position of United Staten Attorney, the organized workingmen of the State sent a committee to Washington to oppose his nomination. That committee filed iU protest with the President two weeks ego. nnd It was pupnosed by the members of the committee that they had spoiled whatever chances. Burke might have had for the position. The nomination is regarded by the union labor men who have been fighting Burke as an affront The Democratic politicians when they heard of the nomination of Burke this

afternoon confessed that they were punled. They do not understand it at all. The “original Cleveland men” are almost ready to express some of the sentiments which they . fed. The politicians sav it is evident that there is a combination among the candidate* of the Gray wing of th* party. Every appointment from Indb ana to date represents the Gray wing, and ♦Vegy man appointed so far was the candidate of Senator Voorhees, who was not for vCisvelaud. That men who did all thev could to prevent the vote of the Indiana delegation being cast •olidly for Cleveland at Chicago should be recognized is due, it ia declared, to the fact that Cleveland hat been imposed upon.

He says that his visit was not connected with tie solicitation of any office, but was to look after some unimproved real estate he haa long owned in Washington, and on which he thinks of having bnildisgs erected. He said, ‘T intended to call and pay my respects to the President, but deferred It until some other time, on learning of tie great pressure of visitors, and the many caret of office which were pressing upon him. The pressure for office is fearful, but not greater than nsnal at this period of-a new administration, liulianians were numerous, some of them probably a little over noisy, and too zealousdn demanding recognition. There was more zeal than good judgment shown in many instances. Editors Bhonklin and Morss were both being pushed for the same position—-a first-class consulate, of which only two are left, and neither at all likely to be given to Indiana. I think if an application were urged iu behalf of either of these gentlemen, for something not in the foreign department^ both would probably be promptly recognized.” Mr. English said he thought some way w-onld yet be found to recognize them both. In speaking of W. E. English’s chances, he ' said he thought them to be good, but nothing was certain about such matters in advance. He eaid: “My son undoubtedly stands well with the administration and has no opposition from Indianu. so far a* is knowrf The position he seeks is on honorable one, but as jt has, scarcely enough moneyin.it to nay expenses it is not mnch sought after, nnd he is believed to be the only Indiana applicant, although there arc, of course, other applicants from other States.” A* to tile local Indianapolis offices Mr. English thought rrtuhmg had been determined farther than Albert Sahm was to be postmaster. Mr. English said that he thought for 1 United Ktates marshal and district attorney j Hawkins and Kern stood the best chance, but when informed that the appointments had been made and that Burke had been chosen instead of Kern, he said: “If that is the case, I have nothiag more to say.” Back From Washington. A. W. Wishard and Joe Kealing have returned from Washington. CHARGES AGAINST THE MONON.

AFFAIRS OF THE CITY.

Additional Paracrapha Filed by Craig in the Receivership Case. William J. Craig, plaintiff in the receivership suit against the Mouon railroad, today filed two additional paragraphs to iiis complaint, setting forth additional grounds why the road should be put in other hands. In the second paragraph he alleges that the stock, authorized by law, of the corporation is $d,000,UOO and may not legally exceed that amount, but that seven million dollars’ worth of illegal stock has been issued; that President. Thomas has sent out a circular announcing that for the purpose of operating the road $4,000,000 of preferred stock, under the McHugh act, is to be issued and that the defendants, Thomas, Bhoe and others, have indicated their intention to declare (j per cent, dividends on this stock. The spurious stock is to be recognized and $0,000,000 of the common stock is to remain in existence. He alleges that the defendants intend to exchange spurious stock for the preferred stock w ithout any consideration to the corporation. In the third paragraph specific charges of mismanagement ate made against the defendants. It is alleged that Thomas and the others assumed control April 5, 1891. and that, two days later, a claim of the Mouon against the Louisville Southern of $2U),0d0 for truck seizure was satisfied without consideration. It is ehurced that Thomas is a large owner of the Louisville Southern. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants refused to bring suit to recover this sum from Thomas, or to permit him to do so. It is also charged that the representations of the management that large amounts were reduired to improve the rondure not true and that such statements were made to furnish an excuse to issue illegal stock to the amount of $7,000,000. It is charged that this stock was sold at onefourth Its value to a syndicate, composed largely of the defendants. It is also charged that besides the $3,000,000 preferred stock a further issue of $4,000,000 is to be made, making the total capitalization-, common and prelcrfed, 000,000. It is alleged that the improvements have not been made from the sales of stock, but from the earnings of the road. It is also alleged that the indebtedness of the road is over $1,000,000, ami that it has recently mortgaged its system for $370,000: Hint President Thomas has said he would put the road in the hands of a receiver if a pending claim of $0(11,000 is established; that the road is in imtninent danger of insolvency. The court i* Asked to declare the $7,000,000 alleged illegal stock void; to require Thomas to pay $200,000 into the bunds of the Receiver and for other relief. Attorney Trissal this afternoon asked for an order from Judge Bartholomew requiring the defendants to bring their books and records within the jurisdiction of the court. — ■o ; A Broafl Ripple Company Suit. In Justice Daniels’* Court this morning the case of Albert J. Beveridge against the Indianapolis and Brood Ripple Rapid Transit Company was taken up. Mr. Beveridge claim* $250 for professional services os attorney in the attachment proceedings of Claypool nnd others against the defendant in the Marion Superior Court. Summons in the case was served on W. L. Taylor, as attorney for the company, and the question brought up this morning was as to whether Taylor w^s an officer of the company. Mr. Claypool denies that the service was legal, and Mr. Beveridge haa to find the proper officer to make defendant in the suit. Emma Guest's Ante-Mortem Statement. The coroner took the ante-mortem statement of Emma Guest yesterday. This is the woman who recently, while alone, gave birth to a child which was found afterward drowned in a bucket. Her statement, made to the coroner under the belief that she was dying, is substantially the same as has already been published. Emma Guest died this morning. South Meridian-Street .Real-Estate Sale. T|»e wholesale storeroom, 127 South Meridian street, was sold this morning by Heary D. Pierce to John W. Dittimore, on the basis of $16,$00 for the whole, the buyer paying $8,100 cash for the half. For some years it has been occupied by Dittimore, Smith A Co., wholesale shoes and rubbers, the building ie ninety feet deep. Rtefeet* and Ross Arrested. Victor Bickett and John F. Ross, who gava go exhibition at the Empire Theater last night, were arrested by Captoa Dawson for deseerating the Sabbath. They gave bond and will stand trial to-morrow. Lowts Will Resign. It la understood that Thomas Lewis, superintendent of th* Citizens’ street railway will resign, to take effect May 1. He will not leave the company’s employ, however.

what will Probably be done BY THE COUNCIL TO-NIGHT.

The G. A. R. Ordinance Will Probably I'ana — Other Ordinances— Street Sprinkling; Bids—Board of Public '-ufety.

Everythihe now indicates that the Council to-night will pass the ordinance authorizing the city to make a tax l^Vy to raise $75,000 to entertain the G. A. It. encampment. The vote will not be unanimous, but there are pledges enough to carry it. Should an amendment be oflered, itris possible that, under the rules, the ordinance will be carried ovy to another meeting. The ordinance increasing the pay of the police department will, in all probability, also be passed, but not in the form as presented. The superintendent will receive no increase. The captains and sergeants will not get as much as they ask, but they will get an increase. The patrolmen and all. the other officials will get about what they petitioned for. The plumbing ordinance is to he introduced, with a recommendation that it pass. The garbage ordinance in its present shape docs not suit the committee on public health, and it will be held over until an un dtrstandiog can be reached. STREET-SPRINKXING BIBS.

The Commissioners of Public Safety today, on motion of Mr. Catterson, refused police powers to Albert Travis, formerly superintendent of police, as a watchman for the Pennsylvania railroad. It is said that when Travis had police powers he relusqd to ol>ey the orders of the board and the powers were revoked. A rule of the board prohibits the granting of powers once revoked for cause. Bills for groceries were filed against patrolmen Samuel Leppert and Jesse S. Streight. Charges were filed against patrolmen Henry Pope and Patrick UViften for neglect of duty. It was charged that the captains and sergeants were unable to find the men on their district, and this neglect was of frequent occurrence. The officers were repnmnnded and lost four days’ pay. John P. SchUtges, east market roaster, asked that Lemuel Eaglin, garbage-hauler at the market, be given more pay. On petition from the merchant force the commissioners appointed Captain Thomas, Samuel Mice ana W. F. Walker a committee to examine the applications for membership. Hice and Walker sent a letter to-dav, stating that Thomas refused to act with them. There was also filed a long protest against the appointment of any committee on applications. The question was held for investigation. Special police powers were granted to Adolph Bretxlaff at the When Block, Charles Freidgeu at school Ntx 2, kod Auguet Heissenbergat Delaware street and Ft. Wayne avenue. Joseph H. Hotfes. a clerk at the postoffice, filed p claim for the reward offered for the arrest of A. J. Caffee, the Texas extreasurer. He said he furnished the departwith the information that enabled the police to make the capture. Superintendent Colbert was ordered to pay him the 450. The. Gardners’ Benefit Association, of Marion county, petitioned tor more space in the hast Market. The Indianapolis, Decatur & \V estern was notified that it must put a flagman at the Missouri street crossing os ordered bv the Council. President Hawkins asked City Attorney Jones if the alleged “sparring matches” which have been held m this city cam* under the statute against prize-fighting. Mr. Jones replied with the prize-fighting statute, which did not answer the question asked by President Hawkius. The idea is to prevent such contests if possible. niinois-Strcet Controversy. The controversy that defeated the North Illinois-street improvement last year is likely to bring about the same result again, as a number of property holders are preparing to protest against paving with asphalt. They want brick. The Board of Publie Works does not want to use that

board is to the effect that if the property ownera engage in another dispute, the improvement will not be made this year. Final Action On Hewer*. The Board of Public Works to-day took final action on the following improvement resolutions: , Main sewer in Georgia street, from Kentlucky avenue to East street; length, 4.7M feet. Sewer in Fonrteenth street, tram Tall man avenue to Fall creek; length. 11,1.'6 »eet. Local Sewer tn Park avenue, from Christian avenue to Seventeenth street; length, 2,432

feet.

Local sewer In East street, from St. Clair to first alley south of Christian avenue; length,

1,466 leet. _

Local sewer in Ash street, from Massachusetts avenue to Home avenue; length, 1,974

feet. ■

Another Road House.

The citizens of that part of the city above Fall creek are objecting to another road house that is to be established there. It will be bnilt close to Fred Kissel’s, and William Sclking, a South Meridian-street saloon man. is said to be interested in it It is said also that liquor will be sold only under Government license. Under the law, the city has jurisdiction over saloons within two miles of the city limits, and Inspector Fox will see that the new road house has a city license. The city license costs $250. Where Was the Inspector? The statement is made by the fire department that the construction of Hill’s bakery on West Twelfth street was such that it is a wonder that it did not take fire sooner. A lot of light woodwork was built on top of the oven, and this is where the fire started. Some of the firemen say the building inspector should have seen that the construction of the place was different. Bids For Broken Stone. The Board of Public Works this morning received bids to furnish the city broken stone. They were: Consolidated Stone and Lime Company. $1.35 per yard; H. H. Hillis, $1.35, and Frank Kessing, $1.32. The

latter got the contract,

Talbott Avenue Improvement. A petition to asphalt Taibott avenue, from Fourteenth to Seventeenth street,- to the width of twenty-four feet, was granted by the Board of Public Works.

Minor City Affairs.

A stone sewer was completed at Twentieth and Meridian streets Saturday. Commissioner Burns has been compelled so stop work on the levy near the city hospital on account of a rcarcity of stone. AN OFFER TO MR. HARRISON. ,

George H. Thomas Post, It Is Said,

Will Act to This End.

THE WESTMINSTER GREED,

GENERAL ASSEMBLY'S PROPOSITIONS RKJECTE1>>

Considerable Discussion Taken Part In By Various Presbyterian Ministers Before the Vote Was Taken.

He Is To Bo Tendered the Presidency of the State University. Ex-President Harrison is to be tendered the presidency of the Indiana State University, at Bloomington, made vacant by the resignation of Prof. J. M. Coulter. The trustees of the State University have been casting about for a new president ever since they received the resignation of President Coulter, but not until the latter part of la*!! week did it occur to them that it would be a wise stroke . to make Mr. Harrison the president of the institution. To-day a delegation of Bloomington citizens, among whom are Elmer Corr, the local trustee of the college, and John W. Cravens, editor of the Bloomington World, arrived in the city to discuss the proposition with friends of the university from other parts of the State, and to offer the position to Mr. Harrison before

thev return home.

“We can not see why the ex-President should not accept the presidency of the university,” said Mr. Cravens this afternoon. “We shall urge him to take the place as a matter of State pride. The university has a reputation that extends all over the country, nnd we believe Mr. Harrison should consent to become its head. The subject will be talked over while we are in the city, and the official tender of the place will likely be made by the trustees during

their visit here.”

The plan of the trustees is to make Mr. Ilnrrison the president of the institution with the understanding that he will give the university only a limited nmount of personal attention. They will expect him to visit the university at stated intervnls, and to look after the Jaw department especially. The immediate management of the institution will be placed in the hands of one of the professors now engaged there. HOSPITAL SUPKKINTENDENCY. The New Board 1 'anvasslng: the List

of Applicants.

At 10 o’clock this morning the new trustees of the Central Indiana Hospital for the Insane met in the gold-room at the Bates House. They chose this meeting place in order to eiade their pursuers, several of whom went to the hospital in order to present claims for official recognition for themselves or friends. Their retreat was fairly well ch isen, but a number of persons tracked them to the Bates House and were on hand to buttonhole them when they

emcrired from their seclusion.

'Squire Carson, of Fairland, the senior trustee who has been re-appointed, opened the conversation. “We have done nothing as yet in the matter of appointing a successor to Dr. Charles E. Wright,” said Mr. Carson. “Mr. Osterraan who has met with Mr. Hauser and myself, has not yet filed his bond nor .have I. This will lie done this afternoon at 2 o’clock when we meet at the Governor’s office. We have been receiving applications for the position of superintendent and will give each one full consideration. It may be several days before the appointment is made. It certainly will not he made to-

dav.”

To thi* proposition Mr. Hauser and Mr.

Ostermun assented. .

At noon Speaker Curtis of the late House of Representatives, asked a brief audience

with the board.

The board met at the Governor’* office this afternoon. The bonds of th* members were filed and the organization was perfected. The superintendent will probably not be appointea for two or three days. TO MOVE THE ENCAMPMENT.

It is said by members of the Grand Army here that certain G. A. R- men in George H. Thomas Post have decided to go to the State encampment at Evansville next month pre* pared to work for a resolution suggesting to the national chief officers the propriety of taking the encampment this year from Indianapolis. Members of tb« are reticent about the alleged decision and will not’ say whether or not it i* true. Some say that the turmoil that haa .been stirred up by the opposition to the appropriation has made many of the members of the post indifferent and a majority is said to favor the abandonment of th* national

encampment scheme.

An Evansville Committee. Henry S. Bennett, Elder Cooper andj. A. Parvin, constituting a committee from the' Grand Army posts of EvansviUe, came to this city to-day and called on ex-President Harrison. They asked Mr. Harrison to attend the State encampment at Evansville, April 4, 5 and 6, and to deliver an address at the camp-fire in the evening. Mr. Harrison did not promise to attend, but assured the committee that he would if he coq|d. The committee also called upon Governor Matthews and other State officers to invite them to the encampment. All accepted the invitation, Sam MoLeish, agent of the E. & T. H., accompanied the committee. Complaints of Electric Light*. People of Greenwood street are complaining because they have had no electric light, while they say there are three practically within one square on Bellefontaine street, one at the intersection of Tenth, one half way between Tenth and Eleventh, and a third at the intersection of BeUefontaine and

Eleventh streets.

New ha tracks at WM. I* EUMUt’a. ^

The Indianapolis Presbytery met in th* First Presbyterian church this morning, with the Rev. E. I. Davies, of Hopewell, as moderator, and the Rev. E. P. Whallon, now of Cincinnati, acting as clerk. The meeting was called to consider the report of the General Assembly's committee on tne revision of the Westminster Confession of Faith. The Rev. Henry L. Dickerson moved tlmt the overtures of the General Assembly oe answered in the negative, because the revisions proposed were unsatisfactory to a large number of Presbyterians. He held that, though the committee had made many admirable changes, it was simply impossible for fifteen or twenty men to prepare in a few months a system of doctrine that would be satisfactory to all the church, and that it was preposterous to attempt it. The famous third chapter of the confession, so obscure before, had been more than ever mystified, and ministers had to ask more than ever “Where are we at?’* He thought that action, such as that of the Presbyterians in England — adopting a shorter and simpler statement of the creed as a supplement and explanation of the original confession—would be more likely to prove satisfactory than an attempted re-

vision.

The Rev. J. A. Milbum said that with the original confession and a shorter creed there would lie two symbols of the church and that there would be inevitable division of opinion as to the true standard. The Rev. E. P. Whallon took Mr. Milburn’s view, and said further that the Indianapolis Presbytery Had proposed revision of the coniession and every thing it had suggested had been put into the revision. The Presbytery ought, therefore, to vote in favor of

the report.

The Rev. G. L. Macintosh favored the ojd confession, because any one could pat his own construction upqn it. The new confession had all the infelicities of the old, without the same freedom of personal construction. The Itev. W. A. Hendrickson, who seconded Mr. Dickerson’s motion, said that the new confession was louver than the old, was too hard for the ordinary people to understand and was unsatisfactory. He thought that if the overtures were adopted the agitation of revision would end. but that with a rejection of them it would continue until a shorter and more sntisfactqiy statement was adopted. The old coniession lay harmless on the bookshelves as it was, and a great many did not know what was in it. A substitute motion was made that the overtures be taken up one by one and acted upon separately. Mr. Milburn insisted that this was the only proper way of considering the overtures. He declared that many present, including himself, were not acquainted with the overtures and could not vote sincerely upon them without hearing them

read before the meeting.

The Rev. M. L. Haines, however, asked that the question of rejecting the overtures as a whole be first disposed of, and spoke in favor of the rejection. He denied Mr. Whallon’s statement that all the revisions suggested by the Indianapolis Presbytery had been adopted. He said that the revisions had come back in a mangled form and that the third chapter, which the Presbytery wished drooped altogether, had only been made more obscure than before. Though he had favored revision before, he now thought the old confession preferable to the confession as revised. 'The Rev. II. A. Edson also spoke of the revision* as unsatisfactory. He thought that a shorter statement of the creed, professing only to be a commentary upon it, and to interpret it as it is now understood, would not cause any division of opinion, us suggested by

Mr. Milburn.

The motion to answer the overtures in the negative was carried by a vote of 30 to 10. The motion as passed rejected the overtures simply, without any proposition of a shorter statement. The .Presbytery, met

again this afternoon.

MATTHEWS AND StIANKLIN. The Governor Tells of the Willard Hotel AtThlr—The Southern Trip. Governor^Mattliews was at his office at an early hour this morning, having returned from Washington Sunday morning, and being unable to go to his farm on account of a wreck on the railroad. When asked about the episode, said to have occurred between him and J. G. Slinnklin in Willard’s hotel, Washington, in which Bhanklin refused to shake hands with Mr. Matthews,

he said:

“When I went into the hotel I was accosted by W. H. Hawkins, of Sullivan county. I shook hands with him. and as I dul so I saw Mr. Bhanklin leaning acainst a pillar with his hands behind him. We exchanged greetings, but he did not have an opportunity to decline my hand nor I his.” The Governor, Mrs. Matthews, their daughter, Miss Helen, and Miss Callie McMeehan, the Governor's niece, will leave for Florida to-morrow night. The party will spend Wednesday in St. Louis, and leave in the evening tor New Orleans on the steamer City of Hickman. It is undecided as yet whether the leisutc time will be spent in New Orleans and vicinity or in Sr. Augustine, Fla., their objective point. The trip is for recreation, and will occupy about two weeks. 4 Young Pastor Chosen.

many others.”
