Proceedings of Congress Little Show for State Hanks HoriiblowerV Name Sent to the Senate Again. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Dec. 5. The outcome of the Van Alen incident has been revolting to shrewd politicians in Congress. It smacks a great deal of the real estate transactions of President Cleveland during his first term here. It will be recalled that a short time after (Jrover Cleveland came Into possession of the large, beautiful and valuable tract of land in the suburos of northwest Washington, It was openly asserted in the newspapers that the property was given to him by a real estate syndicate which intended to use him and trie social influence of the presidential office and family as a stalking horse or draw-ins card for speculators. As soon as it teeame known that the President had "purchased" a tract of land between Washington and Tennclytown, and that he intended to put up a grand old country residence and make that his summer . home, there was a rush to buy up the adjoining real estate. When persons applied to purchase the ground adjoining1 the newly-acquired real estate of the President they learned that it was held by a syndicate. There was so much ymoke and severe criticism that it was thought advisable to have the parties who transferred the property to the President make a statement to the effect that he really purchased the ground and paid cash for it; that it was not given to him for speculative purposes. All of tho correspondence between J. J. Vi.n Alen. the lirttuh subject, who was appelated minister to Home from Rhode Is'and, and the Secretary of State and Presldtnt Cleveland bears the direct impress of preur ran cement. The politicians wlio are used to such parades of virtue see in each of the letters an affectation which la painful. It Is now stated that at the time Van Akn's nomination was held up in the Senate committee on foreign relations and the arrouncement went out tl at a majority of the committee was opposed to his coniirmaUon a number of letters were received from cx- Secretary Whitney in New York, who made "explanations" relating to the circumstances under which Van Alen was nominated. It is stated fuither tliat a Cabinet officer privately assuied members of the foreign relations committee that if Mr. Van A ten's nomination was confirmed he wculd decline the otnVe. It will also be recalled that the statement came hers from Newport, ind then New York, that Mr. Van Alen intended to visit Washington, appear before the foreign relations committee and explain away the charge that before he contributed bis to the Democratic campaign fund last year he had an assurar.ee from Mr. Whitney, or somebody else, vl anointment as minister to Home. Mr. Van Alen did not come here. It is now said trat the reason he did not come was that ho had been advised not to do so, as his presence here would fail to enhance the estimate held of him by Senators, and that it the committee should attempt to crossexamine him, as members of it likely would, it would lead to embarr;Lssing concision. There is no ju.-stion that, as Consrenien hae construed the correspondence, all of the letters were prepared for the public, and that before Van Alen's conJlrmation the promise had been secured from him that he would rtsign. It is a most revolting confession, and reminds those ioliticiarm who are up to tricks of that smell of the wool which telltales the stolen sheep. Ir stead of vindicating th? administration, the resignation and corresinrndence have served as supplemental evidence to convict 't of iKirter. ruoci:i:ni;s or co;ius. Little of Inter!

Trices Wonderfully in pursuance of the invitation extended to the States by Congress, had caused to be made and placed in Statuary Hall at Washington a statue in bronze of lion. James Shields, one of the most distinguished warriors and statesmen of Illinois. The comminicatlon stated that the statue would be unveiled at 2 p. m. on Dec. 6, and invited the friendly co-operation of the Senate. , Among the petitions presented was one by Mr. Dolph of the Oregon Horticultural Society favoring the maintenance of the present duties on prunes. House joint resolution appropriating $30,000 for the payment of salaries and expenses of additional deputy collectors of internal revenue to carry out the Chinese exclusion act was reported from the committee on appropriations and passed. Resolutions from the House announcing the death of Hon. Charles O'Neill, late ii Representative from the State of Pennsylvania, were laid before the Senate, ami Mr. Camron, of Pennsylvania, offered resolutions, which were agreed to, expressive of the sorrow of the Senate. As an additional mark of respect to the memory of the deceased the Senate thereupon adjourned. The Ilankrtipley Hill. WASHINGTON, Dec. G. The second day of the session of the House was dismal and dull. Not a spark of interest enlivened the proceedings. The only thing of moment accomplished beyond the passage of several small bills affecting land titles in the far West was an agreement to close the general debate on the bankruptcy bill to-morrow. This materially advances the parliamentary' stage of the bill. As soon as general debate closes the bill will be open to amendment and debate under the fiveminute rule. Colonel Oates. in charge, . is anxious to bring the bill to a vote, and he expressed himself as confident of succeeding before the tariff or something else of more urgent importance side tracks it. A dozen executive documents were laid before the House and a letter from Gov. Altgeld. of Illinois, inviting the members of the House to be present at the unveiling of the monument to- the memory of Gen. ' James Shields to-morrow afternoon in Statuary Hall was also read, and the Speaker ordered It to lie on the table. On motion or Mr. .Richardson. 20.000 copies of the President's message were ordered printed. The morning hour having expired. Colonel Oates called up the unfinished business the bankruptcy bill and the House wnt into committee of the whole. Speeches were made against the measure by Mr. Terry and Mr. Stockdale. and by Mr. P.oatner In favor of it. At the conclusion of Mr. lioatner's speech the House, at 4:m p. m., adjourned. v i : s i (ix s Aitois k n. TIiojt Demand nn In vel igution of Hoke Smith' Conduct. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Ohlo as well as Indiana is revolting against the vicious antipension policy of Hoke Smith. To-day Senator Sherman presented in the Senate petitions from twenty-one cities in Ohio protesting bitto.!y against the uncertain and wrongful poiirv of the administration upon the pension . .estion, and asking that Congress instil. an Investigation, so that what is heir ' done and what is proposed in the way of .. raid upon the pensioners may become kno to them. In presenting the petitions r?e r Sherman stated that some action of ti -aracter asked for should unUestion;d;l, . taken: that it was due to the pension..' to know just what they could expect. Tiu- . ctitions were referred to the committee o.. pensions, where they will be smothered, tor although General Palmer, ef Illinois, the enalrman. Is a friend of pensions, r.e ("u...dt get a meeting of his committee. All the other Democratic members are opposed to meetings and action. Now appears to be a ripe occasion for Senator Voorhees's blast against Hoke Smith. He should demand the investigation and expose Hoke's confederate hostility to pensions. 1 ' I A C I A I, M : ; I S I. AT I OX. Little Hope f Repealing the JSIule llnnk. TnxT-.ro Sliver 111 I 3k. WASHINGTON. Dec. .'.The banking and currency committee had quite a spirited meeting this morning. During the discussion It developed that there was considerable disappointment among those favoring the repeal of the State bank tax because the President said nothing on this subject in his message. Mr. Johnson, of Ohio, is reported as having said that there was nothing further for this committee to do, and thought it might as well loci; up and go home. NeVertheless, the committee decided to no on' with the consideration of some bill for repealing the tax. and will meet Friday for that purpose. Chairman Springer sai 1 this afternoon that it is doubtful if a State bank bill will be reported. It is evident that the decision depends upon the view which Mr. Johnson, of Ohio, may take of the case. It is known that sf.v Repullicans ami two Democrats are against the repeal, and Mr. Johnson is claimed by both sides. The committee will debate the bill for some time before any action H taken. Mr. Pland to-day introduced in the House a new coinage bill. It repeals that part of the act of 1S7J wnich prevents the coinage of silver dollars and re-enacts the law of KIT providing for the coinage of silver dollars of 41-"2 grains. Mr. Catching introduced a bill by ropiest containing el-ht long sections which would entirely regulate the cum ncy. but which will probably not be considered by the House. It is understood that Mr. HIand will call th.? committee on coinage, weights and measures together at an early date to consider a silver bill, and he expects an absolute freecoinage bill will be reported to the House.

The House committee on judiciary has about decided to report favorably a bill relating to Southern cotton claims. There is now in the treasury about $11,000,000 which has been set apart to pay certain cotton claims. This money was originally intended to pay the claims of those whose loyalty could be properly estabiished. The proclamation of President John-son and a decision of the Supreme Court, it is claimed, is plain that the proofs of loyalty once demanded are no longer required. The Republican members of the committee have agreed that the bill shall be reported favorably with a proviso that no more 'money than the $11,000,000 now in the treasiiry shall be paid and that all claims for destruction of cotton shall be presented within a year from the passage of the b'll. the money to le divided pro rata among the claimants who establish the facts of their losses.

Chiefs Arthur, Sargent, Wilkinson and Clark, of the Railway Brotherhood F'ederatlon Board, were summoned here last night During yesterday the arbitration boards of the States of New York and New Jersey were in conference with President Wilbur, of the Lehigh Valley road, but arrived at no conclusion. Last night the arbitrators consulted the railway chiefs and again met Mr. Wilbur. At 2 o'clock this morning the conference adjourned and the Information was given out that the strike will be declared off as as the result of a fair compromise. 3 a. m. The strike will be declared off at daybreak. Concessions were made on both sides. AVreelv nt Sucar Xoteh. WILKESIIARRK. Pa., Dec. 3. Snow bepan to fall at 2 o'clock this afternoon and at 6 o'clock this evening there was nine inches on the level. This greatly impeded the running of trains on the Lehigh Valley. A large force of men were put to work clearing- switches and removing snow from the deep cuts on the mountains. There was a bad wreck at Sugar Notch at 5 o'clock this evening. Two engines were pulling a train up the mountain when they collided with an empty engine. Two of the engines were wrecked and one of the engineers fatally inured. The passenger train had the right of way. but the engineer of the single train thought he could reach a siding before the passenger train came up. This is the first accident that has occurred since the. block system was adopted. Inquiry at the headquarters of the strikers (his afternoon reveals the fact that they are still buoyed up with hope of winning the strike. While there was no particular news to be given out, they were emphatic in their declaration that they were to a man firmer to-day than the day after leaving their positions, and had no inclination of giving in an inch; and, above all. have never yet entertained the idea of coming out losers Dolt); n Small l!uIne. rOTTS VILLE, Fa., Dec. 5. The Pennsylvania road is not going to let the Jersey Central enjoy a monopoly of handling freight and passenger traffic that is being diverted from the Lehigh In consequence of the strike, and is now circulating posters with the Inscription: "Ship your goods via the Pennsylvania lines." The Lehigh Valley business has fallen off fearfully. The .Lehigh coal operators are now having trouble in placing even the small shipments they are able to make, as many dealers refuse to hanOU?-Lehigh coal for fear of losing customers aniong the working classes in their respective localities, and the colliery people say orders are scarce. The places of four striking telegraph operators at Ilazleton were tilled in short order last night and no trouble ensued. It is sid these men were each paid $!" to leave their keys by the telegraph association. Half a dozen coal and freight trains were sent out from Delano to-day as against 107 in busy times. To-night's snow storm will make much trouble to-morow. PITTSIIIIIG MIX BUS. The YVnge QucNtlnii Aot Yet Settled Hi IC Strike Predicted. PITTSBURG, ,Dec. 3. -The coal miners an operators of the Pittsburg1 district failed to agree upon a settlement of the wage difficulty at the joint convention here to-day. A committee of five operators and five miners reported a resolution recommending the adoption of a sixty-five-cent rate, but after a long discussion it wa3 voted down, as too many delegates came to the convention Instructed to stand for the seventy-nine-cent rate. When the vote was announced the operators withdrew from the convention' in a dissatisfied frame of mind, declaring that henceforth they would have nothing to do with the miners' organization. They also said the men would be working for much less In a short time. The miners then reconvened, and. after three hours' wrangling, decided to go back to the pits with the operators' proposition and ask for further instructions. Another convention will be held Friday, when .th miners will pive their ultimatum. Many of the delegate favored the acceptance of the proposition, and if a settlement is finally made it will probably be the price agreed uion. It is 14 cents less per ton than the rate demanded and 5 cents more than some of the operators are now paying. During the conference National Secretary Mer.ride. of the Miners' Union, made an appeal to the operators for better wages, in the course of which he said: "The operators know that the miners along the river are not in con litlon to fight, but they don't know how soon they will be able to strike back. Strikes are bad things and should be discouraged, but if this thing doer, not stop I loo!c for a strike in this country as big, if not bicrer than that in r.ngland. and far more disastrous. We want to reach an understanding with the operators on the river and try to settle upon a rate. It 1 a settled fact that at a more opportune time the miners of the river will endeavor to restore old rates." WAS OXCK A Tit A MP. Why I.ctvcllltiK Tnke.s Much InerMt In t lit- llutmrry HiiiKKlnKen.

National Glass Company Dissolved bv Its Members.

There AYas Too Much Outside Competition, and 31 aim fact nrers Feared the Effect of the Tariff Hill. RECEIVER NAMED F0U A BANK President of a Chicago Concern Charged with Mismanagement. Failure of a New York Clothing Finn, and Attempted Suicide of Its Nookkeeper, Who Is 50,000 Short. CHICAGO, Dec. 5. Members of the National Glass Company met at the Auditor-, ium to-day and left for Milwaukee at 2 p. m., where they held a meeting- and dissolved the company. When the meeting was called to ordtr here representatives of about fifty glass factories were present. Their attorney advised them that "the proposed wind-up of the company's affairs would have to take place In Wisconsin, as the company was organized under the laws of that State, and the meeting was udjourned to Milwaukee. When the National Glass Company was formed, about two years ago, it was with the intention of controlling the price of window glass. The attempt to get all the manufacturers of that kind of glass into one company was a failure. A few concerns who were not In the compact offered goods at a lawer price than the schedule rates, and the result was that all agreements made when the company was organized had to be broken as a means of self-preservation. The company was held together in the hope that by some means those outside of the organization could be brought In, but. It is said, the proposed reduction in the tariff on gia?9 is such that the manufacturers say they see no chance of maintaining prices. On this subject H. C. Newklrk, of Chicago, says: "There is a gloomy prospect for the makers of window glass If the Wilson tariff revlslonary table Is adopted, liy this the tariff will be reduced about GO per cent., bringing the price of glass down about ?1 a box." Kx-State Senator Yarrow, of the Kumbach company, who attended the meeting at Milwaukee to-night, said after the disbandment: "We have had a funeral over the association, and that Is the end of It. It will make no difference in the price of window glass. We have been buying In the open market for two months past. It was not a trust, but simply an association of manufacturers and jobbers. We agreed to buy our glass of certain parties, but It fell through because we could not get all the companies to join us. We held a meeting in Chicago and decided to disband, and came here to complete the work, because the association was organized under the laws of Wisconsin. The tariff does not cut any figure at all in this matter." HAMvKItS' QI AHIIEI.. Serlou Chnrnen ARnlnftt the Trellent of n C'11ck Concern. CHICAGO. Dec. 5. William M. Robertson was appointed receiver of the Chicago Trust and Havings Hank this afternoon. This action was the outcome of a regular meetingof the board of directors held to-day. TUe directors passed a resolution declaring that Tollman, the president, has mismanaged the affairs of the bank and converted large sums of money belonging to the bank by transferring large amounts of commercial paper that was uncollectible and using the money of the bank to further his individual interests. The bank came here from Pittsfield, 111., In 1SS5 and at the time of the removal the capital stock ' was increased from J50.0CO to ES0.C00, fully paid up. The bill states that in 1S86 the capital stock was increased to $500,(W), but that no new capital was paid in. each of the stockholders being given a double amount of stock. Several months ago the directors decided to cease business and distribute the assets among the stockholders. In conformity with this, business was stopped and for several months the bank has been paying off its depositors. The bill then sets out that President Tollman has Informed the directors that he is an unpaid depositor of the bank to the amount of $173,0o0; . that his brother, S. A. Tollman, is an unpaid depositor also to the amount of $23,000; that there are alwut owing: to savings depositors and that the entire assets consist of a little over $600,000. This amount. Mr. Tollman is credited with saying, consists of notes and bills receivable, a large, majority of which Is past due and uncollectible, and that it is doubtful if the stockholders will receive anything when the business is settled up. The directors claim that Tollman has grossly mismanaged the concern and that there is no money due him. shout ovrcn jftro.oo. A Ilookkecper AwUt In thv Failure of Clothing Firm. NEW YORK. Dec. 5.

Prof. William Llbbey. of Princeton Unl verslty, who, in company with Dr. Henja min Sharp has been spending the summe months in the Hawaiian Islands, has re turned. He arrived from San Frandscd yesterday afternoon. Prof. Llbbey and Dr. Sharp were sent to the islands by Princeton University and the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences to make investigations into the ethnology of the islands. In regrard to the political Fltuatlon ProfLlbbey says there was good provocation for the revolt which led to the establish ment of the provisional povernment. Thd Queen had Just issued the Constitution, disfranchising foreigners, and Professor Libbey thinks there could have been no remedy but force, and that under the circumstances the revolt was justified, as there was to ba no session of the Legislature for two years. Professor Llbbey is in favor of annexation. He and his companion had better chances for feeling the pulse of the people than probably any other Americans who have visited the island since the formation of the provisional government. He ay that in the pursuit of their researches. they came in contact with the mass of the Hawaiian natives, and they deny the statement that the natives favor the Queen. Irof. Libbey believea the entire situation has been misrepresented. The people favor the restoration of the monarchy, but not the restoration of the Queen. He saya that if any attempt at restoration Is made there will be trouble. Neither the deposed Queen nor any one else can be seated except by the use of United States forces. There are thre thousand Americans in Hawaii, and they are a unit In favor of the provisional government. If the United States forces attempt to restore the Queen, they must first attack the Americans, and if they overcome the supporters of the present government, force will be needed to keep the Queen- on the throne, as the natives would attempt her overthrow aa noon as the marines or troops wera withdrawn.

We don't have to use bakers bread, anyhow. We can make better bread at alout half the prices asked by the bakers. Hut the bakers are not to blame so much, as the grocers that much outraged class of citizens who are seeking protection at the hands of the Council. Did not one of the bakers come down on crackers a, few months ago, and did not a boycott on the part of the grocers only make him too glad to go back to the old prices? What with keeping up the price of bread, and not allowing the commission houses to sell to consumers, nor peddlers to pell at all, these citizens ought to get rich. Of course, th Council will protect them against the ieldlers at the expense of the ioor who are supplied by peddlers, but the Council cannot keep us from baking our own bread out of the cheap and good flour now on the market. A boycott by families will soon brim; the baker-grocer combination on their marrow bones. Some of in can make good crackers, or do without. Such a combination may do in some things; but It cannot long work on bread. housi::ci:i:pi:il Indiana noils.
