The festivities incident to the meeting Of the twenty-seventh annual encampment G. A. R., at Indianapolis, began Thursday evening, Aug. 31, with the formal launching of the model ship Kearsarge, in the State House campus. The stationary ship had been amply provided with electric lights. A vast crowd had gathered in the streets and grounds, and the boat—lacking water—was launched in the “sea of faces” that generally figures on such occasions. The novelty of being on shipboard attracted all that could be admitted, although an admission fee was charged. The vessel was built for the entertainment of the naval veterans. Regular ship discipline will be maintained on board during the Encampment. Real Admiral B. A. Osbon, of New York city, accompanied by his staff, took charge of the vessel, Friday at noon. The regular naval routine was observed, Saturday morning at eight bells (8 o’clock city time) the ship was formally put in commission. At 9 o’clock the naval veterans assembled on North Meridian street for their parade. The route of the procession was nearly two miles in length The parade formed and marched south on Meridian street from St. Clair to New York, east to New Jersey, south to Washington, west past the reviewing stand at the court house, past the ship Kearsarge where they were received by the admiral and his staff, disbanding at Mississippi street. The Naval Veterans annual reception took place on the deck of the Kearsarge, Saturday afternoon. On Sunday the Naval Veterans attended the First Baptist and Tabernacle Presbyterian churches in a body, but the buildings failed to accommodate the people desiring entrance.

THE HOME RULE BILL

Panel the Heme of Common* by • Vote 301 to 887. Mr. Gladstone’s long homo nilo fight in In the House of Commons is ended. The bill was passed at 1 o'clock. Friday morning by 301 to 267. It was hurried to th" House of Lords, which gave it the first reading and adjourned. There was unusual animation along the route from Mr. Gladstone’s residence to the House of Commons, Thursday afternoon. The streets were crowded owith people who wished to catch a glimpse of tho great champion of Irish home rub, and although there was no organized demonstration, the prime minister was cheered throughout tho rodto. At Mr Gladstone's residence two po - 1 Icemen had been stationed at tho door to keep back tho crowd that packed the side walks and escort Mr. Gladstone to his carriage, and an extra force of policemen war on duty along the route to prevent thi people from interfering with traffic. I was 4 o’clock when the Prlajo Miniate, entered the House. He was loudly cheered and his reception was a grand ovation When the announcement that the Iloua had passed the home rule bill by a vote of 301 to 207 was received, the arowd went wild. Ex-Congrossman David H. Pattea, of Indiana, has been appointed receiver at public moneys at Woodward, Ok. T.

THE EXTRA SESSION.

In the Senate, Monday, but little of interest transpired. Mr. Sherman gave notice that he would address the Senate on the silver question, Wednesday. Various amendments were offered to the Voorhees bill repealing the Sherman law. Mr. Voorhees, chairman of the finance committee, advised that all amendments be voted down. A message from the House was received announcing the passage of the bill repealing a part of the Shennan act. On motion of Mr. Voorhees it was immediately referred to the committee on finance. In the House, Monday, every seat in the hall and galleries was filled at an early hour. . The Speaker commanded order at 12 o'clock. The amendment to the Wilson bill favoring free coinage at the rate cf 16 to 1 was called first on order of precedent, and on a vote it was defeated—yeas, 124; nays, 226. Not nearly as much interest was taken on the second amendment, which was in a ratio of 17 to 1, and the vote resulted—yeas, 100; nays, 240. The 18 to 1 standard was defeated—yeas,lol; nays, 239. The 19 to lamendment was defeated—yeas, 104; nays, 238. The 20 to 1 amendment was defeated—yeas, 121; nays, 221. The to. _rexenact the Bland-Allison act was defeated—yeas, 136; nays, 213. The vote was then taken on the final passage of the Wilson bill, repealing the purchasing clause of the Sherman bill, and it was passed—yeas, 240; nays, 110.

In the Senate, Tuesday, Mr. Vodrhees reported back the House bill repealing part of the Sherman act, with ah amendment. He asked that it be placed on the calendar and desired the consideration of the Senate until final action. He explained the amendment, stating that it was identical with the House bill so far as the repeal of ' he purchasing clause of the Sherman law was concerned, but that it contained a substitute clause which in his judgment improved it. Mr. Teller objected, and under the rules the amendment went over. A resolution by Mr. Stewart was then laid before the Senate, directing the Secretary of the Treasury to inform the Senate whether there is danger of a deficiency in the revenues of the government. A long discussion ensued. Senators Sherman, Voorhees, Mills, McPherson and Harris opposed the resolution. A motion to refer to the finance committee was opposed by Hill and Stewart. Mr. Hill made a lengthy speech in opposition to referring to the finance committee, but on a vote it was so referred—yeas, 40; nays, 15. Mr. Gordon spoke in favor of unconditional repeal of the Sherman law. Mr. Teller addressed the Senate in an argument to prove that the Sherman law is not responsible for the financial troubles of the country. In the House Mr. Aitken offered a resolution providing for the investigation of the Ford theater disaster. Referred. Mr. Reed twitted the Democrats with having partially approved the rules of the Fiftyfirst Congress, but said they had not gone far enough. He spoke at length in favor of the adoption of rules to give the majority control and take away from the filibusterer the opportunity to stop the consideration of a measure. Speaker Crisp took the floor to reply to Mr. Reed. He said that Democrats would notrefrain from the adoption of rules simply because they had been part of the code of Mr. Reed’s Congress. He attacked Mr. Reed on his arrogant assumption of power, in the Fiftyfirst Congress, to count a quorum. The question had gone to the Snpreme Court and the gentleman from Maine had never been justified. He felt that the Fifty* first Congress was a usurpation. Mr. Reed replied at length, stating that it was unusual for the presiding officer to partake in the discussion on the floor. Ho regretted the action of the Speaker on general principles. To the personal criticism he would not reply. He believed that tbe policy of the Fifty-first Congress had received the approval of the Supreme Court. With that support he could do without the support of any individual, Ho hoped Aho Democratic pa;ty would be able to catch up with the Republican party in the next four years. The subject of rules was then dropped. Mr. Springer introduced a bill providing for the coinage of the seigniorage of silver in the Treasury. Sub-com-mittees on branches of the tariff bill were announced, and the House adjourned. In the Senate, Wednesday, Mr. Sherman vindicated the character of Ernest Seyd, the great English financier. He said the immediate question before the Senate was the repeal of the act for the purchase of silver bullion, passed in July, 1830. If that were the only reason for tho extra session he deemed it insufficient. The call was justified, however, by the existing financial stringency. Mr. Sherman went on to give a history of the circumstances which led up to tho passage of the act of July, 1890. It was a far better law, he said, than the bid which the House had then passed or the bill which the Senate had passed. There had been still another trouble. For the first time in many years the balance of trade had turned against the United States last year. Hitherto the balance had been in favor of the United States to the amount of fifty, onehundred and sometimes two hundred million dollars. Tho last fiscal year the balance of trade was against the United States to the amount of >18,715 OK). I am not blind in regard to the operations of the law of 1890. Long before our Democratic friends ever thought of providing any measure of relief, 1 proposed relief fn a bill which I Introduced in almost the same words as tho bill of the Senator from Indiana [Mr. Voorhees], But did our friends on the other side see the danger then and help us to suspend the operation of the law of 1890? They cannot answer that question. I did think,after two years’ trial, that it was better to suspend it; and we, on this side of the chamber, tried to do it, but wo had no support on the other side. Mr. Sherman said he hoped that Mr. Voorhees would prepare a bill to empower the President and Secretary of the Treasury to sell bonds at their discretion in order to maintain th? parity of ourcurrencv. Mr. Voorhees interrupted tho speaker to say that nothing had been farther from his Intention than to reflect upon Mr. Sherman when ho made tbe remarks referred to. Proceeding Mr. Sherman said: “I am willing to trust to your executive officers. I would give them power to protect the credit of the Government against all enemies at homo and abroad. If the fight must be for tho possession of gold, I would usoour cotton and our wheat, and I would protect our credit against all mankind. As to silver, I would say that we prefer to wait awhile, until the skies are clear, until we see the effects of the suspension of silver coinage in India, and see what arrangements can be made for another International monetary conference. In the meantime let the United States stand on Its strength and credit I think that soon all these clouds will bo. dissipated, and that we may go home to our friends with

Ute conviction that we have done a good work for our country at large.” Wednesday's session of the House was devoted to a discussion of rules. In the Senate, Thursday, Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, spoke in favor of free coinage and paid his respects to Messrs. Voorhees and Sherman in a severe arraignment of their financial ideas. He said that the two Senators had been in public life for a generation, and are now for the first time in accord in their financial views. “Voorhees,” said Mr. Wolcott, "has so long been the advocate silver that I can not believe that he will desert the cause or vote for unconditional repeal.” No man could be a bimetallist and vote for the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law. Unconditiohal repea would bring disaster and ruin to all sections of the country. Mr. Caffery, of Louisiana, spoke in favor of repeal. A motion of Mr. Peffer concerning national banks refusing to pay currency on depositors’ checks was referred. In the House, Thursday, the silver men, under the leadership of Springer, gained a victory, which makes it impossible for the gold men to Impede the consideration of bimetallic or other financial legislation that may be reported by the committee on coinage, weights and measure and banking and currency during the coming session. The time honored custom in the House has been to make reports of the committee on appropriations and ways and means privileged matters at all times, and when the new rules were being considered, Mr. Springer, chairman of the committee on banking and currency, suddenly sprung an amendment extending the same favoritism to the committee on banking and currency. In the Senate, Friday, Mr. Vance spoke for free coinage. Mr. Cockerell spoke of the inconsistencies of the Republican position on the Sherman act, stating that the Republican campaign book two years ago claimed credit for the alleged beneflti of the Sherman act, and now we find Republicans denouncing the act as the cause of our financial troubles.

CLEVELAND IS SICK.

A Serious Surgical Operation Performed In Joly. A New York special to the Cincinnati Enquirer, Wednesday, gives what appears to be authentic details that give a color of truth to many rumors, that have been current for some time, that the President is suffering from a serious disease that is feared to be of a cancerous nature. Dr. Hasbrouck, an eminent dentist of New York, talked for publication: “The President’s disease is—or was—a growth in the bones of his left upper jaw. The operation was performed July 1, on board of Mr. Benedict’s yacht. I do not think the disease is the same as Gen. Grant’s. I administered the anaesthetic. The surgeons performed the operation, and while at work tho President revived and I was obliged to administer it to him a second time. The operation, in which I took no part except to administer the nitrous oxide, was a success. The loss of blood was not great. I have no doubt the disease is curable.” The operation was performed by Dr. Bryant and a third surgeon. Dr. Bryant is still at Gray Gables. The truth seems to have been successfully concealed for nearly two months.

THEY HAD SAND.

Two Officer* Stop a Prize Fight—No "Bobyigm" Goes in Clark County. A drunken, howling mob ot eight hundred to a thousand New Albany toughs, bent on seeing a fight between Jack Tuell and John Alvis, at any hazard, surrounded Sheriff Will Davis, es Clark county, and Chief of Police, William Cisco, of Jeffersonville, Monday night. There was imminent danger of bloodshed and only the coolness of the two brave officers probably saved their lives from the hands of the gang of plug-uglies. But they prevented the fight, even though the gang quoted Robey. The fight had been announced for Monday and the initiated were to go .to a certain saloon in New Albany to get directions to find the grounds. Sheriff Davis got wind of the matter and taking Jeffersonville’s Chief of. Police with him set out to find where the fight was to be. Several miles out they were recognized, and when they reached the neighborhood of the proposed battleground they were surrounded by a drunken mob. They were near the dividing line, but still in Floyd county, and therefore without authority. Threats were freely made, and finally some of the leaders of the gang offered to bribe the two officers, but it was no go. “The Governor has decided that we can fight. They do it at Roby!” yelled one tough.- But tho Clark county officers could not see it “What are you going to do?” yelled some of the mob. “Nothing in Floyd,” was the sheriff’s answer. “What will you do in Clark?” “I’ll arrest every one of you” was the rejoinder. The mob surged aronnd the buggy and bloodshed was imminent, and had it not been for some cooler heads some one would have been killed. The two officers were hemmed in by the howling mob; pistols were clicking, and at any moment a disgraceful riot was ready to start. Some, calmer men interfered and a lane was opened for tho plucky officers, who drove across the Silver Creek bridge, and, traversing a distance of a hundred yards, they were in Clark county. There they tied their horse, posted themselves at the bridge and awaited the coming of tbe mob, determined to stop the fight or die! But the gang did not come. After an hour's wrangling it dispersed. Sheriff Kelly, of Floyd, appeared upon the scene, and buggies, hacks and other conveyances broke for New Albany, and It was given out that the fight would take place in Harrison county. From 8 to 11 o’clock Davis and Cisco held the fort against tbe toughs, and broke up the fight.

TO ARMS!

Gov. Matthews Ila* Ordered the Militia to March on Ko by. Governor Matthews has ordered the State militia, undero Adjutant-General Robbins, to go to Roby. Monday night, and prevent the prize fight announced to take place at that celebrated resort on that date. Troops will mobilize at Laporte during Monday, and from there the march on Roby will start. “After all,” murmured tho artist, “perhaps the ideal figure has a dollar mark in front of it"

Of this amount >2,737.14 still remains in tho hands of the treasurer of the board. The last Legislature passed a law requiring school officers to turn into the county treasury all unexpended balance of State tuition revenue tn their hands on the Ist of each July; failure to comply with’ which makes them liable to a fine twice the amount involved. The AttorneyGeneral has made a demand upon the treasurer of the Shelbyville board for this amount, but tho treasurer refuses upon the ground that the money belonged to the city and not to the State, and that it was not a part of the State school revenue. The treasurer also holds tnat the Attor-ney-General has no power to make the collection, if not properly being within his - jurisdiction. If the treasurer had complied the Attorney-General’s fee would have been 33% per cent. Only one trustee in the county was found who would acknowledge the Attorney-General’s juris-’ diction, the others, preferring to contest the law in the courts. Claim Is made that if the construction of the law stands asmade by tho Attorney-General, it will give to him an enormous revenue from this source alone.
