Icdlana Democrats Preparing to Honor Hendricks Excu-es for Potainins the Ofiices. Scsatpr UcPhoreon's Naval Plr.n Sprirger'e Report Coinmleslon to Central Amorica. JIEXDJIICKV KECEPH0. Another Meeting of Indiana Democrats. s c cisi to the Sontlnei. Vaphington, Feb. 2.3, Another meeting of Democrats here from Indian has been called for to-morrow night to perfect the arraLgements for receiving Hendricks, who in formed the committee to-day that he would rt&ca Wa thirgton at 7 o'clock cn Friday evening. A committers will la appointed to-mcrrow night and a complete programme adopted. It is intended that the reception shall be general in its character. It will b9 held at Willard's Iloiel, where Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks will have rooms for the winter. ?Ir. KuglMt's Coi.ipreheanlve Kfport fc'ptcial to the Sentinel. Washixoto.v, Feb. 2", Congress hs sv eral times sat down npon propositions looking toward prohibition or a control in a lesser degree of the liqnor tr&tlic throughout the Knion. Some of the ablest lawyers in Congress have rendered reports daring the past few years on bills, in which they have uniformly held that the regulation of the sale of liqnor is a question for the States i line to deal with, and one in which Cocgtess can take no part. Mr. English has just made a very coiipre hecsive repor't on a bill looking towards an alcoholic lijuor traffic commission, and he too takes the-ground that "any attempt to control the personal habits and private conduct of the individual should be opposed so long as he does not interfere with the perioral rights of others, or the peace and order of scciety in general," aad that "it is a matter of grave doubt whether Congress has the right to regulate the liquor traffic in the Beyeral States of the Union." Sometimes it looks like the temperance people will become discouraged in their appeals to Congrees. They should, at any rate, for it has ben demonstrated in many ways that the Constitution is in the way of a matter of this character. Excuses for Itctalaing Oftice. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, Feb. 25. Along with the many echemes which have been sprung to retain in position those who hold otlices not under the fostering care of the civil service, is one to pass a bill making it unlawfal for the President, head of a department, or any one else exercising the appointive power, to discharge any Union ex-soldier, tailor or marine, widow of or dependent relative, so long as he cr she performs the duties assigned. A good deal of effort has been made to have this bill passed. It h&3 been reported from the Civil Service Committee to the House, but there it sticks and there it will remain. The protection of the Grand Army of the Uepublic and all other soldier organizations is being envcigled against removal frometöce now. The color line is being drawn by the colcrad people in offi ;e, too. They say ix they ara removed or superseded for any cause it will be on account of their nationality. It willbeYery disigre?ab!e weather when an apparently good eicu?e can riDi be brought to bear for the retention of all these people in oilioe. But it all depends noon the policy to be adopted by the new administration. NoJuakctlng Tour Yet Arranged, Special to the Sentinel. Washington, Feb. 2-3. So far there has been but one junketing tour for the summer arranged for iu Congress. A sub-committee or two of the Senate Committso on Indian Affairs w.ll go out among the Indians and lcok after the matter of Jease3 of Lo's lands. The question of granting lands in severalty to the Indians will also be inquired into. There is time yet for a number of good trips to ba arranged in the Senate. The House can rot tix any of these jaunts because there will be no organization in the House alter March I. The Forty-Ninth Congress will not be organised until December next unlets an extra session Is called. In the event of an extia Eession the junketing numbers will get in their work. Pilot and Thlr i'cntlun. Special to tb Sentinel. Washin;tmt, Feb. 25. Mr. Bigley, of th? ! Houie Committee cn Invalid Pensions, Is of the lirm belief that pilots who served on 2iiboat3 during the late war should be pensioned at the same rate.of the llht grade of officers. He ssy this clets of rr.en required great experience aad Treat courege to make th?m fücient; they were subjected to unusual darrers and rendered invaluable service. Their r-ay was ?20 to 00 a month while they served, jet they are given but ?I.3a mccth receion. He has reported a bill to dcuble that amount, aid thinki it will pass. 1

Thf re Is no doubt that the pilots ought to bs given EOice distinction in pensions. CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA.

The State Department at Washington IIa Itti-elved a Cornmnnlcatlon from the Commission to the States of South America, Wa-iiington', Feb. 23. The Department ol State has received from Secretary Curtis, of the commission to the Central anl South American States, a dispatch announcing tho arrival cf the commission at Caracas, the capital of Venezuela. The Secretary slates the commission was curd;ally received by President Crejpo and Dr. ienza, the Secretary .cf State. Judge Thacher presnted the crelentials cf the commission, and explained to the President the objects of its visit. President Crespo replied in a felicitious address, in which he declared he would co operate to the full extent o! his power in the eilbrt to realize the cbjecN of the mission, which was highly appreciated by the people and the Government of Venezuela. While in Caraca, the commission obtained the views of American residents engaged in business upon the subject of dtyelop'n the trade between the Unne1 Statesand Venezuela. The result of the inouiry was similar to that arrived at in New York City namely, that Aaierican merchants should exercise more care iu preparing goods to send to Veaezue'au marked, and should extend more liberal credits. All attempts to iiifroduc8 American goods into Venezuela 1 j I been successful, and the opinion is e vprBsed that there will ba no difficulty i: -xfpndiDg this commerce if the recommend.tt. u is of the commission are carried out. The crrumi?3? r. intend3 to proceed to the United States of Colombia, but if that cointry should be in a state of insurrection, thev will go at once to Costa Rica, leaving Colombia to be visited at some future day. PRESIDENT-ELECT CLEVELAND. lie Favors the Stoppage of Coining Silver Dollars. Washington, Feb. 23. Representative A. J. Warner received a communicaUon this evening addressed to himself and others, from Pres;dent elect Cleveland, relative to the stoppige of the coinage of silver. The gentlemen who have the communication decline to give it to the press to night. It is a doccment of tome length aad contains an acknowledgment of a letter recently forwarded to Mr. Cleveland, which requested him to hear all tidts before committing himself on the sil ver question in bis inaugural address. The President-elect says that the importance of the subject and the receipt of communicaticna from members of the House of l!?p resentati?e3 makes it necessary to give earnest attention to the question before his views are presented to the public in his inaugural address. He favors the suspension or the coinage of silver dollars, giving his reasons, and expresses fears of a financial crisis unless legislation to this end is enacted. No refereuce ia made to the proposed legislation on this question in connection with the Sundry Civil bill, nor are any recommendations relative to legislation before the adjournment of Congress offered. The letter will ba submitted to morrow by Mr. Warner to the other gentlemen interested in the subject, and afterward will be given to the press. NATIONAL 3IATrERS.

olTer a minority report when the subject is submitted to the full Committee on Expenditures in the Department of Justice. The members cf the committee have not yet received the printed teatimoay taken at the investigation. They assert they will not agree to any report until they have had an opportunity to examine it. Mr. Springer will submit the views prepared by himself and egreed to bv Van Alstyne, at ths meeting of the full committee, to be held, probably, on Friday. He declines to give a report to thepiblic until it has received the attention of his committee. It is a verv long document, acd contains a review of the testimony t:ken ooth in this city and at Cincinnati. It concludes a3 follows: From the tfK'.Imony taken by your committee, it v ill appear that the Depaty Marshals appointed tv Marshal Wright wtro larly in exjeoIUie ncfesfeltks of tie situation: that they wore a; pointed as P.erubli:sn parti.-aas aad politic il werkers ard m mot cases prostituted tnelr otliclal posi' iota to partisan end: that lhey wera arine-i with revolvers and oiher deadly weapons, furcifciied by tlii3 National Committee of the K r-ubiicau party: thit many ol s icri Deputy Marthas so appointed and arxe l wer. notorious .rim:nals mid ir.ca known to have vicious anJ bru al baV.w, anl tuny of them were noa-n-sictntscf tnesureol Otilo: that many of sue a Pejiuiy Marshal ecil'jg under the order of llaitbal Wricht aided, arotU:dand encourased fraudulent voting.

At Contains Corrf pond-nc and Telesram Concerning Negotiations Uetueeu IWnniarck and the British Government, LoM'ON, Feb 2. A blue book was i-3u?d this morning ihich is tiken up with correspondence concerning New Guinea and Sarrca. I contains a report from Sir Edward Malet, the British Minister at Berlin, of an interview with him and Prince Bismarck. The latter read to Sir Kiward a di?patch he (Bismarck) hd sent Count Munster, the German Minister at London. This dispttch was dated May .3, ls'l, and its object was to show the British Government thai England could render to Germany a signal eervice in the latter'a canal extension, in case England 8houId undertake to grant this favor, the dispatch indicated that Germany, in return, would support English interests nearer home. The dispatch further gave it to be understood that, in the event ot failure to eure the desired arrangameut with England, Germany wsnld be under the necessity of seetiDg from France, on similar terms, the ESsietahre England refused. After rf ading thia disnatcb, Bismarck told Sir Kdward that Count Von Munster laid the rxatter before the BritUa Government, but failed to obtain from it the understanding which Germany desired. Thereupon, Bismarck said, fearing that Count Von Munster had not stated the points involved ia the diepatch to Granville with sufficient clearness e.nd precision, he sent his sou, Count Herbert Bismarck, to England, in tae hope that he might succeed where Couut Von Munster had failed. Count Herbert explained the situation as the German Chancellor regarded it. but he succeeded little belter than Count Von Munster. In persuading Fogland to commit hersalt to the proposed policy he only obtaicei, Bismarck said, from England general assurances of friendliness and good will, which have pro red absolutely valueless in the facs of subsequent events. At thia point Sir Edward expressed regret at tee situation. He assured Bismarck that England had never had any intention of thwartiDgGermany'scolonial aspirations. He askdB:srra'ck what Germany wanted. Did he want New Guinea or Znluland. Dismarck replied it was impossible for him tonswer Sir Edward's query. Germany had now come to an understanding with Francs, and this precluded him from making any further explanations. Another interesting decumentin the Blue Bo?k is a dispatch from Eirl Granville to Sir PZd ward Malet, dated Fe braary 7, 18S5. In thia the British Foreign Secretary '.akea occanoa to combat the assertions of Bla rcarck, that England was influenced by jealousy cf the Germans' colonizing policy. Far from this being the case, Granville asEerts, both his statements and these of GladStone haye always been fayorable to the development of a colonial policy on the part of Germany. The correspondence in regard to the Samcan Islands show that England was the recipient of frequent requests from the people of that country for the establishment cf a British protectorate. Ia consequence of these requests Germany asked England to join with her in giving mutual asturances that the indepf nience of the Simoan and Tonaa Islands should be respected by thee two I'owers. England acceded to this arrangement and in Consonance with the repeated petition of tbe King and Chiefs of Saaoa, praying that their dominions bs aarexed by England, ware disregarded, aud no thought of annexing them entertained. On January c, f this year, the Earl of Derby, Colonial Secretary of State, received a cab'e dispatch from Lieutenant General Sir William Jerevois, Governor of New Zealand, which stated that two German ves?ia had arrived at the 8a moan Islands, and that the erücers on board of these had forced the King to sign a treaty by which the whole authority of the Government was turned over to the German representative. February 10 Earl Granville wrote to Count Von Münster, asking him to inquire into ' the ' accuracy above leported Dscember 2:.
