ARE FALSE STORIES,

President Cleveland Denies the Falsehoods Concerning the Government's Financial Policy. No Kind of Treasury Notes Will Be Redeemed UNLESS IN GOLD COIN. The Parity of Cold and Silver to Da Maintained. The Members of the Cabinet in Entire Harmony As to the Means and Methods to Be Pursued. The Present Financial Condition the Result of Preceding Legislation "Which Present Conditions Aggravate The Country Ctn Tru.t the Administration to Do the Most Patriotic Thing Under the Kxlstlng State of Affairs Senator Chandler ISrraku Out on the Tariff and Foretell What May Happen if the Present System Is Changed. Washington, April 23. To a reporter of the Associated Press tho president -aid tonight: "Tho inclination on tho part of the public to accept newspaper reports concerning the intentions of thoso charged with the management of our national finances seems to justify my emphatic contradictions of the statement that the redemption of any kind of treasurr notes except in gold has at any time been dotermined opon or contemplated by the secretary of the treasury or any other member of the present administration. The president and his cabinet are absolutely harmonious in the determination to exercise erery power conferred upon them to maintain the public credit, to keep the public faith and preserve the parity between gold and silver and fulfill all financial obligation! of the government. While the law of 1S00 forcing the purchaso of a fixed amount of rilver every month provides that the secretary of the treasury, in his discretion, may redeem in either gold or eilrer the treasury notes given in payment of silver purchases, yet the declaration of the policy of the government to maintain the parity between the two metals seems so clearly to regulate this discretion as to dictate their redemption in gold. "Of course perplexity and difficulties have grown out of an unfortunate financial policy which he found in vogue, and embarrassments have arisen from illadvised financial legislation confronting os at every turn ; bat witn cheerfal confidence among the people and a patriotic disposition to co-operate, threatened dangers will be averted pending a legislative return to a better and sounder financial plan. The strong credit of the country still unimpaired and the good sense of our people, which has never failed in time of need, are at hand to save us from disaster." The president's only visitors today were Secretaries Carlisle and Lamont. CHANDLER RAISES A HOWL. Thinks If the Turin Lan. Are Changed Times Will lie Hunt. Senator Chandler has some positive views on financial and other questions of ;he day. "I can state the position I take," laid the senator, "in a single propcaition, and that is that the secretary of the treasury ouzht to nie the hundred mil. ions of the reserve, if it becomes necessary, and not issue any bonds until he is obliged to. That large fuod was made to be used ; that is what it is there for and it should be called upon before any other steps are taken. The law requires national banks to retain 10 percent, of their earning for a surplus to be used in a esse oi emergency, snd why should not the government retort to the same policy? I am afraid that gold will soon go to a premium and the country be forced to a silver basis." "Financial problems are not the only ones we have to face, however. If the proposed program of tariif sm anhing is to be conducted the people who have money invested in protected and their a lied industries will be exceedingly shy about investing their capital and times aa a natural sequence become hard and American wages will fall. This will be tho inevitable result of an assault upon the tariff. It looks to me as if the policy of Mr. Cleveland was to encourage foreign immigration and especially that of a Jewioh character. Certain recent acts of his surely point in this direction and tho result of such a policy can but work to the disadvantage of the laboring classes and the general misfortune of the people." White House Change. The story is revived that the white house is to be devoted exclusively to residential purposes. President Cleveland is aid to be seriously considering the moving of his office to suitable apartments in the army, navy and state department building. It is proposed that the suit of rooms on the second floor of the war deparment in the north wing of the building, formerly occupied by the -ecrc-tary of war, shall be converted into a business office for the president. They are handsomely decorated and admirably adapted for the purpose. The only objection is their northern exposure; that ray of fanlight seldom finds its way into the rooms. There is a large ante-room, a general reception room or business office and also an adjoining room for private consultation. The latter would alord the president and some of Lis callers ad opportunity for a few wordi of confidential eon venation, a privilege not to be enjoved under the present arrangements at the

white house. If the change is made it will probably occur after the president returns from his eummer vacation. Precedents for such a course are quoted, the action of Andrew Johnson shortly öfter the death of Abraham Lincoln being the most recent The Iuke of Yerngua. The Due de Veragua and party, under thechaperonage of Commander Dicking U. S. navy, attended pontifical high mass at St. Joseph's Roman catholic church this morning. The occasion was the feast of the patronage of St Joseph, the patron eaint of tho church, and the music was a special feature in honor of the lineal descendant of the dif-coverer of America. Gounod's grand msss, with Wiegand's paternoster, was rendered by a choir of thirty voices, under the directorship of Prof. Kubet

UNION PACIFIC DEBT. Propositions as to a Feasible Settie mcnt of the Question. New York, April 23. Mr. Edward Rosewater, editor and proprietor of the Omaha lhe and a member of the republican national committee, has been in the city for several days, one of the objects of hi visit being to collect figures regarding the Union Pacific railroad debt, with which congress will have to deal next winter. Mr. Rose rater said: "Tho 1'aciSc railroad lebt will mature within three years. Its adjustment has been diseased in con gress, but no drfinite conclusion has been received. Congrees next winter, however, will be forced to take action in the matter. "There are four propositions which may be presented to congress next winter. They are: 1. Con err may let the roal so to foreclosure under the firnt morigtgo with the chaoce of recovering the ruoaey advanced by the government should the road sell fur more than J33.0OU0C0. '2. Congrtss miiht extend the second mort em; claim by funtimir tiie principal and inter est in default, conditioned upon an extn oa for a period equal o thnt of the origin! mor gage, and this coul I only te done with the cuusentof tho f i rat mortgage holders, its successful outo me being very doutAfu:. Z. Congress could authorize the iitueo'a new bond for the whole debt and lake a nr-t mortgnge on tho main line. 4. Congress could pur the first Mortgage, foreclose on the second (ehe coveruratal claim) and take the road and operate it. Mr. Rosewater favors the first proposition, "that congress let the road go to foreclosure under the first mortgage." "Soine of the money," he naid, "would undoubtedly be lost in this way, but what of it? Tho road would bo cleared from all the complications which have burdened it for twenty years, and it could successfully compete with other roads, thus greatly benefitting the people as the result of reduced rates. "Besides, the development of the western country has more than paid back to the government tho money advanced, or the difference between that advanced and what would be loot as the result of a sale. Unquestionably private individuals and stock jobbers have fattened at the people's expense, owing to the Union Paoitio deals, but all possibility of that would bo stopped by the foreclosure of the property.'I think this will be largely iu accord with the sentiment in the W ent, though some of the populist element may not understand it at first. At all events, the time has arrived lor a settlement of this Union Pacifiic business, which concerns notonlvthe West but large interests in the Fast, and it should be intelligently discussed before tho problem is submitted to congress next winter." POISON THE SOLDIERS. Incitement at Honolulu Over a Mjs terlous Affair. Sax Fiiancisco. April 23. The barkentine Iringf.rd arrived from Honolulu to night, bringing advices up to April 12. The leading event since the last letter to the Associated Press was th e supposed wholesale attempt to poison the soldiers and members of the -National guard. On the night of April 11 s thirty soldiers at the barricka were taken with vomiting spells. Surgeon Rodders was hastily summoned and found that the men showed symptoms of poisoning. Themen were so distressed as to be obliged to take to their cots. In the mean time u report came trom the government bui ding. where company A of the National guards is stationed, to the effect that a number of the men there were suffering, with evere fits of vomiting. Ir, I My was summoned and relieved the men as speediy as possible. Capt Goode, at the barracks, said the men had dinner at 0 o'clock, the bill of faro waj roast beef, boiled tongue, canned peas and ire.h vegetables with tea and cotfee. Ho could not account for tho trouble. He had eaten dinner at the barracks but he had escaped illness. The royalists very indignantly deny the existonce of a plot to destroy tue government forces in this murderou manner, and there is eo far no gener.il denire or intention to hold them accountable. COL ROYCE SHORT. Story of Ilia F.mbczz'emcnt and Attempted Suicide. San Francisco, April 23. Co!. Clark E. K. Royce, treasurer of the Veterans' home association, is short in his accounts at least 20.000, and it may be S10.00O. The veterans' home, located at Youngville, Napa county, is an institution supported jointly by the state and federal governments for the aid of decrepit and disabled union soldiers. Royce was elected treasurer without bonds a year since. One week ago he was found in the room at a local hotel unconscious and nearly dead from wounds about tho head, and has since been iu a critical condition, but he is now improved. Much myftery is attached to the a I lair, and it was thought he was the victim of a murderous aeau!t by persons unknown. Royce now confesses he attempted suicide, fearing exposure. The defalcation was announced by the directors of the association Inst night. Royce is very well known throughout the state and his integrity wus unquestioned. He lias not bejn arrested.

TWO OFFENSIVE OFFICIALS

IlCRKAr OF TUB SRXTISBt, SBL, ) 124. ) 1A20 IS EW 1 OKK-A V Washington, D. C, April 24 Stokes Bennett, the postmaster of Evansviile, will have to walk the plank, and pretty quick, if Representative Taylor of the First Indiana district has his way about it. Mr. Taylor is loaded for tlfttt republican postmasier. He has in his possession a bulky package of papers which will open Postmaster-General Bissell's eyes when he sees them. Bennett's term will expire anyhow in about two months, but Mr. Taylor and some of the other good democrats want to make a horrible example of this worthy for the good ef fect it will have in purifyiog the political atmosphere of that part of the district Bennett is widelv known down in that section. Ho is an offensive partisan of the worst type. On the day of the pteai deutial election he was very active in get ting negroes to the polls, and it is said he has not very scrupulous about the kind of argument he used to get them to vote the republican ticket. but there are other ana more Berious charges made against Bennett. Thee do not emanate from democratic sources. either. The principal opposition to Ren nett came from members of his own po litical party. The Evansville Journal is especially hostile to the postmaster. In the bulky package which Mr. Taylor will show to tho postmaster-general and tho president, if it becomes neceosarv, are a lot of clip pings from the Jonriml making all kinds of accusations a?:unpt Jlennott. Theau accusations can be substantiated by the affidavits of reputable citizens if it comes to that Pcstwaster Greiner of Terre Ilauto had not better rely too implicit y upon tho intelligence conveyed in the Indianapolis Journal to the etlect that John Lamb's mi-sion to Washington was entirely unsuccessful. Tiik Sicntinel correspondent heard today that Mr. Bi?sell is giving this case serious consideration. He could not do otherwise. Mr. (ireiner'a case is too notorious. Everybody at Terre Haute understands the nature of part of the charges made against Greiner. He is not only a very ollensivo partisan, but other charges are made against him, which involve a question of moral turpitude. Harry Donham will be appointed to succeed Greiner. This is settled. Representative Broos'nire of the Eighth Indiana district was asked today if ho would keep up the fight for his man liewiitt of Crawfordavillo lor the position of co lector of internal revenue for Terre Haute collection district for the place that Senator Vorhees wants for Jothua Jump of that'eity.- Brookhire said he would certainly do his best for Hewhtt He said he had no fight to make on Mr. Vorhees' man, whom he regarded highly. He did not think that Mr. Vorhees oould take exceptions to this action in pressing liewiitt for the place.. Inasmuch as Representative Holmon was conceded the right to name the collector for the other district he thought no one ought to complain if he did his best for one of his own constituents. Mr. Brook h ire said he did not know whether or Dot any one was opposed to Jump's nomination or had urged any reasons against the appointment lie said ho certainly had not done so, and would not whatever others might do. Brookshire said that he had talked with the president about the appointment of Hewlitt, and he felt reasonably sure that his man would win. Although there have beoa a good many departures among the Indiana contingent here, there are also bo me accessions to the ranks each day. Representatives Bynum, Conn and Brown have each been home fince tho adjournment of congress, but they are all three back here again looking aftersmall fry offices for their constituents. Ja-cm Brown returned to Washington tonight. He brought E. G. Niklaus with him and w.li try aud capture the Madison pOHtollice for him or somethiug else if he can't get that Representative Conn will leave for Indiana again on Wednesday, but he will be back in Wahhingtoa aa soon us poible. He is not having as great a success in getting his postollice appo.ntments made as he would liko. Representative Martin will remain here until May 5. When congress adjourned he resolved that lie would stay two months to look after the interests of friends in his district. Representative Taylor today had the following board of pension examiners appointed for Rockport: Dr. Ehruian. F. M. llackle:nan und Felix Masiow. Maj. Kidd of Wabash wi.l leave for home tomorrow. Eeuesentative Martin believes Kidd has a pretty fair chance, to succeed Judge Tynor of Indiana as attor-nev-'eneral for the postollice department. Editor Starr of the Goshen AV.t has returned here from a trip to .New York. There were threo Indiana candidates for consular odices stopping at Willard'e ho tel a week ago. Glazebrook hied himnelf home and then Jerome llorll of I'eru took himself hence, leaving Johnson cf Elkhart to eurvive them. Representative Mar tin eaid tonight he etill had faith in Mr. Herl! s appointment. Herl!" himself said before leaving that he thought the appointment would not be made before July. There are several of tho candidates who are fully expecting consular appointments on the strength of interviews they had with President Cleve land. Albert J. Kellev of Terre Haute, who Is stopping at the Rigg house, says there is no truth in a dispatch to the eflect that he is here for a nolhce. Mr. Kelley nays he is hero on legal business and has not applied for an office and does not intend to. Maurice Donnelly of Indianapolis has applied for the position of surveyor of customs. The following Indiana postoffice appointments were made today: C. II. Clin st Mexico, Miami county, vice D. P. Working, rralfcned: J. C RieketU, Qurcue (jrore, SritzrUnd eountr, vice J. M.

Tom Harper of Terre Ilauta. who is associated with Frank Hurd of Ohio in the railroad laborers' case, save their petitions will be ready to file tomorrow. Nothing of consequence was doue in the case today. Representative Brookshire, who baa been under the weather for several months, is slowly recovering his strength. Or'.anda M. Packard says the report that the examining districts as they now stand

would be reduced in size and new ones created was a mistake. It was thought that possibly Indiana might be divided into districts, but Mr. Packard, who has been looking into the matter, says that it will not be done. ' The treasury o'llicers do not believe that the Indiana bank examining district is anv too large Greenville A. Brlzendine was today commissioned postmaster at Point Ieabel. lud. . LIKE A TRUE HERO.

Mas Price wrote to him and in time received a reply. One letter followed another and finally Jacob informed her that it was his intention to pay her a visit. She was willing, and when the trees about Valley Mi U assumed a golden hue the visit was made.

The 1'mut cannot consistently or conscientiously commend or approve n good many things that have appeared in The Skxtinjx, but thi9 does not deter it from bestowing fail credit and praise for its persistent and elective advocacy of sundry reform measures that have proved very bane'icial to the state at large.

Its advocacy of a constitutional convention And its opposition to legislative gerrymandering are especially praiseworthy. Can't Afford to He Without It. fTrrrs IUtite (Jae'tc.)

Dratallty Practiced on a Girl by Hor Co-Workers. New York, April 24. Miss Minnie Luther, the pretty seventeen-year-old daughter of Christopher Luther, n tea dealer of Bridgeport, has bean in bed since Monday afternoon last, ax the result of a practical joke ployed op. her hy the young women who werk with her in the factory of the Union metallic cartridge co:upany in that town. Miss Luther had only worked in the factory a short time. She had grown tired of being around horns and, beside, wanted more money for herself than her parents could ntford to allow her. So her father agreed to let her go into the factory. Superintendent Joromo Orcutt of the cartri Iga-works took eomo interest in the girl and net her at work in the shot shell department. Miss Luther has always been nervous aod excitable. When the young woman entere 1 the factory she held herso f aloof from the other ur, and they resolved to take her down." They annoyed her in a dozen wavs, and she told her mother that tho cirls tormented her eothat she could not work. Thev would often stand around and laugh at her. By tho udvice of n physician, tho girl nrf-cd to take a vacation. 'lie xirla guyed Mis Luther unmercifully when they heerd of ber intention. The shot-shell department is a long room, which extends tho entiro length of the factory. As the shot-shells are made they are packed in big barrels. It was evident from their actions when the noon whiatio whs hcr.id oa Monday lent that the girls had some hchemo on foot. They took particular pain? to shove their stoo's far under the tables and to clear out the long anted. Then they gathered around Miss Luther, who had opened her lunch basUet. "Oh, itm't the uppish." aaid one. "tfho won't associate with ua," said an other. "We ain't good enough for her," raid a third. "Goawavcnd let mo alone," begged Miss Luther. Tho girls only laughed, r.nd one houted : "Let's fix hor now." "Bring the barrel over." cried out another. Two girls bognn to wheel one of the heavy cartridge barrels over. "Oh, what are you goicj; to do?" cried the girl. "We'll show you," shouted tho others. An the nirl started to run Bridget Burns, tweutv yesrn old, and Norah Gilbert, twenty-one years old, cprfing forward and grabbed her. Mied Luther wan t o frightened lo make anv etiectup.l resistance and the two gir's lifted her from the floor end dum red her, het frout, into the barrel. Her hcod and bhoulders projected.

Then thev got n heavy iron sieve, auch us is iifcd to si:t shot, and titling it around tho head of the b.rrd, hammered it down tight. Then tho ei'U retired with laughter. Lvery timo iia appeal came from the barrel the others would answr it with some tauntiog re muri;. "Oh, yes, wt'll let you out," pai 1 Mi?s Burn and Miss Gilbert toother.and then they dumped the b irrel over and began to roll ;t down the long aisle. Not a sound camo from the imprisoned girl despite the bumps agiinst posts and tabio legs. Tiring of their amurement,tho two girls pavo the barrel a parting kick, sending it with a craah againnt the wall. "Now get out yourself, Miss Uppieh," exclaimed oue. Mot a sound camo from the barrel. Then the girls became alarmed and one of them looked in. ":?hei dead!" exclaimed the girl. "Her face is biack." The two girls who had placed Miss Luther iii th barrel turned paiu, but paid nothing. Several others pulled Miss Luther out The girl was unconsciou. llor head was covered with bruises and sha scarcely breathed. .Several men wero summoned, nnl they gave her whixky and bathed tier head in Cold w ater.
