To-day I dilators oortK'es and Turpie called on President Cleveland and had a long talk with iuu Their rail was for the purpose of ascertaining the President's policy in regnrd to change' in the Federal" fhces in the State of Indiana. No name were suggested to. Mi.

Cleveland and the Se nators did not make any effort for ex Governor Gray. There is no longer any ionbt that- the object of the eon- ference which the Indiana Senators had yesterday wilh Judge Gresham related to the candidacy i of the x-Governor for: the Mexican mfssion. Judge Gresham listened attcntiTely to the arguments that were 'advanced in favor of Governor Gray's appointment, but did not i it comnm.uimseu. rum a Is learned that the Hoosier ex-Goveriior will not be given the Mexican mission. There are many cogent reasons for this, as stated in the, dispatches to The NfW'S yes terday.

There is such a sharp rivalry lor this, particular place that Gray is obscured by greater political Another KlrUniotMl la the Field. It may create something of a sensation in local political circles when it is known that Editor Morss. of the Indianapolis sentinel. is desirous of securing the Mexican mis sion. lie is not miming an active ngnt xor ii i ti the place, uui wouiu accept enu rrt- dent Cleveland, while lie Las not committed himself, is quite willing to give Mr.

Besides, President Cleveland has made op hie mind to bounce Minister Den by, whom he appointed under his former mmMntion end who retained bin nlace tt Penby's removal is desired by a number of fromiuent icnigcruio pvuuuiui ndiana. The friends Gray say tjiat he will not accept the Chinese mission for reasons already stated, chief among which is his strong personal objection to severing i i his local political relations. It ia said ha would much prefer to become an assistant secretary in one ox the departments to going so far away and losing his identity with Iloosier politics. To-morrow Senators Vodrhees and Turpie and the J)emocnrtio Representatives of the lower House will call on President Cleveland and discuss the political situa tion with him, and atthat time wlllr no doubt, xoak some reference to ex-Gover- aor ray's candidacy.

Other Indians Aspirants. The Indiana men have at least solved the difficulty, presented by the candidacy at one and the same time; of Colonel Zollin ger, of 'Ft. Wayne, -for depu ty commisner or pensions, ana that of Colonel McLean, of Terra Haute, for Pension Commissioner. One of the Indiana Congressmen said this morning that both names would be 'presented to Mr. Cleveland, properly recommended, and the President would be left to choose either or both, as he saw fit.

The slate for other' Indiana offices is cot materially changed from what it was yester day. John W. Kern, ot Indianapolis, seems to he reasonably certain of the appointment of district attorney; W. I. Hargrove, of Gibson, as United States marshal -K William Bracken, of Franklin county, ft internal revenue collector of the Sixth district, and Joshua Jump, of Terra Haute, as collector the Seventh district.

March ti The pres ent roll-call of the Senate shows forty-four Democrats, thirty-eight Republicans, one Populist, one Independent and one Farmer Alliance and three vacancies. The vacan cies are one each in Montana, Washington and Wyoming. Should Republicans event ually fill all of these vacancies, which can scarcely be the case, in view of Beckwjth'a appointment in Wyoming, it would give them forty-four.

Should the third-party Senators then all vote with the Republicans (a most unlikely supposition), the Senate would still be a tiei with Vice-President Stevenson holding the controlling vote.

SWEPT BT A DTFRRICAXE. Great Destruction of Shipping and Hoosss-Many Lives Lost. Paris, March News of a hurricane at Tamatave, on the cast coast of Madagascar, on February 22. has been received. The wind came from the sea and first struck the vessels near the mouth of the bay.

The Abumo, a French ship, was stripped almost ot.maaU and rigging, and a few minutes later went to the bottom with all on board. Five coasting vessels anchored within the harbor foundered almost simultaneously. and but ten men of their crews wero saved. Four other coasters aankbefore the storm passed.

AMERICAX AND ENGLISH BAILORS HAVE TROUBLE IX HONOLULU.

Better Police Profcgktlon deeded The Synneraley Incident Settled Cleveland May Send a Com- i xniavslon To IlawalL San Fbancisco, March 8. The latest news from Honolulu is the following; There was a narrow escape last night from what might have been a serious, fight between sailors from the American war ships and the British cruiser Garnet. The English- tars have 'boasted that they, would "dp up" the Americans on the first opportunity, and this came lat night. A gang of the menfaLl well primed with whisky began singing "Britannia Rules the Wave" in Nduanu street, and- when, they had finished, they made insulting remarks about the stars and stripes, and one fellow chalji lenged, American to take it up. One of the Moi Jean's men was within hearing, and if it bad not been for the coolness of a petty officer, there would have been a bloody fight.

The Commercial Advertiser calls attention to the urgent need of strong police guard on this street to prevent any recurrence of the difficulty-between English and American sailors. The expected trouble with Great Britain over the Kynnersley incident did not occur. Kynnersley, who is a British subject, refused to recognize the provisional gov eminent and the proclamation when the revolution occurred. For this he was arrested, and he threatened to appeal to Great Britain for protection. On February 13.

however. when hia case was called' before the ad visory connoil, Kynnersley was very mild and humbly apologized, and took the oath of loyalty to tbe new government. The council thereupon' -dropped the whole matter. A Commission to Visit Hawaii. Nkw York, March 7.

A morning paper saya an intimation that president Cleveland may appoint a commission to visit Hawaii before acting on the annexation question has 'caused a chill to run up the bscka of the Hawaiian commissioners. They had hoped for something better than this. If the annexation scheme failed to receive the approval of the new administra tion, they hoped at least to be able to return to the provisional government, and say that the United States would be willing to negoti ate for the assumption of a protectorate over the islands. The appointment of a oom. mission, they realize, -would not only occa sion a delay in the settlement of the im portant question but would deprive them' or any oi me nonors or proms connected i i i wun lue neousuoBi.

iney are toereiore loath to believe the rumor which was cur rent this afternoon, that the new administration is talking of appointing a commis sion to visit the islands, with authority to treat with the provisional upon a plan giving America supremacy over tne islands, without incurring all the responsibilities accompanying annexation. DEATH iOP The Eldest Daughter of Chief Jnatioe Fuller Dies From an Operation. Chicago, March 7 Mrs. A. L.

Brown, wife of Archibald L. Brown, the eldest daughter of Chief Justice and Mrs. Melville W. Fuller, died thia morning, after an ill ness of only two weeks. The immediate cause of her death was blood poisoning, resulting from an operation performed at the birth, of her child, two weeks since.

Chief-Justice and Mrs. Fuller did not arrive here from Washington in time to see their daughter alive, their, train being de layed. 'I he physicians In attendance did everything in their power to save the patient's life, or at least to prolong it until the arrival ot her parents, but their efforts wereiutue. The death of Mrs. Brown will be a great shock to those who knew her both here and in Washington, where, before her marriage.

Seattle, March 7. The ship State of Maine arrived last night, 221 days from New York, after an exceedingly rough pas sage. October 8, while rounding Cape Horn, sae encountered terrible gales, which con tinued through the month. A number of her sails were carried away, and the planking of i the port bulwarks mashed. The decks were constantly covered witn water, much of which reached the cargo.

THE PULLMA3T COMPAXT WTXS. A Decision In Their Psvor In a Pe collar Damage Suit. Springfield, I1L, March 7.

The Appel late Court has handed down an opinion of some interest in the case of tbe Pullman Palace-car Company vs. Lee. Lee pur- chased a second-ciass passenger ticket on the Pennsylvania road, and then paid for and waa egned a berth ia a 1 uliiuia sleeper, notwithstanding the arrangement between the railroad company and the Pullman company 'that the latter would furnish accommodations only to the holders of first-class tickets over the railroad. In this case the sleeping-car berth was sold through oversight, and when the error was discovered a tender was made to Lee of the money he bad paid for the berth. He re fused to accept it.

or to pay for a first-class railroad ticket, and was ejected. He brought suit in the Cumberland Circuit Court for damaees and was awarded 200. The com pany appealed and the Appellate 'Court reverse the judgment ot the court below. THE SAM JOJfES EK VIVAL. Great Crowds Tlironn; the Tabernacle, bnt Xo Penitents, Special to The Indianapolis TTews.) Kokomo, March 7.

An application waa made to the Common Council last night for permission to extend the Sam Jones tabernacle half way across the street on which it fronts, increasing the seating capacity from five to eight thousand. This wilF be necessary to accommodate, the crowds that gather to hear the Georgia evangelist and his i unique running-mate, George B. Jones. Sunday 'night there were six thousand people crowded in the odd- -looking structure and Over -one were turned awsy- irom the doors. Last night's meeting filled the tabernacle' from pulpit -to That the crowds will oouie is no longer a doubt.

But in. the matter of raising money and bringing penitents to 'the- fore little or nothing has accomplished aa yet. The demand for money to pay for the tabernacle is made with much emphasis and unrelenting insistmce, but in four meetings numbering from to 6,000 people, only $150 ha been realized. Invitations to penitents have beeit sent out and the unregenerate have been worked upon, but up to this time not a stricken soul has kneeled at the "mouraers bench." From this the conclusion is natural that Kokomo baa so far been looking only for the hippo drome features. It is promised, however, tnas tne awakening wiu iouow.

COUBIHE OF LOBBYISTS CORKCTTIOX ALLEGED AS AX IX- FLTJEXCE IX LEGISLATIOX.

Blander Ia the Attempt to Amend the Pullman Tax Bill Lat Legislative Hours Lin-- demnth's Opinion. The doors to the legislative chambers were locked to-day. Only a few members were to be seen about the State House. Many departed for home last night, and more went by this morning's trains. The lobbyists, too, have gone.

They did not leave their watch until both Houses had adjourned sine die, and then some of them seemed to hesitate about leaving the State House, lest some unlooked-for event that would interest them might take place. Men who have frequented the Indiana Legislatures for years this General Assembly was more completely in the coutrol of the lobbyists than any former Legislature they can recalL There are many stories afloat as to the corruption that was connected with the session, but the stories, for obvious reasous, can not be corroborated. lhat there was money used by the lobby is the belief of all disinterested persons who watched the progress of legislation. It was current talk about the assembly halls for several days before the session ended that there were in the House twenty-five mem bers who could be bought by the lobbyists at any time on any question. The professional early in the session ascertained who, could be and made out a list of twenty-five, which was placed in the hands of all the corrupt lobbyists.

The general opinion is that mors money was was spent in the Senate than the House. There ii a story related that a Senator Went to persons who were interested in the passage of a certain bill and said to them that if he was paid 11.000 he would get the bill through the Senate. Many persons do not hesitate to. pronounce the action of certain Senatora during tbe closing days of the ses sion as scandalous. Among those who to day expressed condemnation of the Senators tn allowing the corporations to dictate the proceedings of the body is Attorney-General onrn.ii.

It was simply a scandal said Mr. Smith. "The corporation lobby determined what bills should be considered; the lobby naa complete control ol the senate. The failure of the Senate to pass the amendments to the general tax law will greatly weaken the administration of the law. The lobby said the bill must not be passed, and it was not.

There is a way to prevent a few men who are the tools of the lobby from blocking legislation, as waa done in the Senate this session. It is by adopting a rule that no committee shall have the right to hold a bill longer allowing a bill to be held by a committee, or OV a mem her or i mmminM far indefinite period. The roll ought to be called every day for committee reports, and tne committee snouid be compelled to report. It would be an easy matter to drive the corrupt lobbyists from the General Assembly if members were disDosed to want 1 AMM.MVMMMHM.HMM COMBINE OP LOBBYISTS, Legislators Dined and Wined By Cor. Tongues are wagging more freely bow that the Assembly baa adjourned, and explana tions of how legislation was'sceomplislrcd are numerous.

Much of the talk relates to three bills, the McHugh bill extending the terms of municipal officers, the street-car paving bill and the Eoby race-track bill. Much Is also said about tba de feat by "the corporations of the amend ments of the tax law. 5 i tie reason ilea ugh, or Tippecanoe, was abit to accomplish so much, it is said, was that he was backed by the most powerful combination of lobbyists that ever came into an Indiana Legislature. There was Murdock. Lamb, Sheerin, Dougherty, Fren- tel, Pearson and Stuart as principals and an army of small fry attorneys.

"When these men lit down by the side of a Representa tive," said Representative Ader, "and tell him that it is to bis political interest to vote so and so, the man, unless he haa an un common spirit of his own, will think twice before he acts contrary to their direction." It was evident that the lobbyists had pooled issues. The gas, street-car, railroad ana otner corporation representatives traded votes. McHugh was interested in Monon railroad and similar bills primarily. He needed votes and was able to get them. One way was by giving support to ether (senators who were in need.

Kailroad nasses to me world uair was oneot the trifles that were used to keep -legislators in a pleasant mood, i- saturday night or rather Sunday morn mg arter the ngnt was over and it was certain that the street car. Koby and other mooted bills were dead. thirty Senators and Representatives met in the club-room at the Bates House, the guests of the lobbyists interested in these particular bills. They drank thirty-two quarts of champagne. The bar bill was $14j paid by the lobbyists.

The sneak- easy in the CaDitol basement was said to be too vulgar for this company. PASSAGE AND A. O. SMITH. The Representative Criticised the Attor- sey-General.

It is related that Dr. Passage was the only member of the late Democratic caucus who protested against- the advice offered by the Attorney-General to pass the old appor tionment hill. Members who were in the caucus, now that the session is ended, do not hesitate to talk of what occurred. They say that alter tbe Governor bad spoken advising that a fair apportionment made, and the Attorney-General ad vising that -Xlhe apportionment of 1831 be re-enacted, Dr. Passage attempted to criticise the action of the Attorney-General, and was howled down by the caucus.

iTr. Passage was asked about this to-day, and he said it was true that be did attempt to criticise the Attorney General for advising that tne supreme court be rebuked. and was howled down by the caucus. "I undertook to say that it was out of place, was bad poTicy for anyone to criticise the action of tbe Supreme Court oi tne suite," said sir. rassa-e.

"1 insisted that 'the caucus ought to respect the de-(Msioi of the court, and ourht to make an apporvonment that would be fair to alb. The caurus refused to hear me any further ana i naa to sit down." LEGISLATORS' WAKBAXTS. Brink Run Made On tbe State -An- I dl tor's Office Yesterday.

It Will Be Submitted; to Applicants When Complete Its Probable Provision AfTalrs of the Sew Cltlxena Company. For several. days Mayor Sullivan acd" r.i Board of Public Works have been working on a model for a street-car iruncbire. TLe idea is that all street railroad franchises ir contracts given by the city shall confirm to this model as nearly as possible. When this model is completed various aj-i lieauts' for franchises be railed and it will be submitted to them.

Among points which the city will insist upon is ih.it the company vhall pay iu proportion for paving the streets. The charter, it is Said, will uot have a life of over tweuty-five years. The question of ik-lling the contract to the highest bidder is to be leit open until the legal question involved is settled. The subjeet of fares has also been left over. A ceitaiu per cent, of tbe gross i income of the company on tracks by the lineal foot or mile will be sucked.

One of the most important features is that the Board of Puhlio Works shall decida upon the extension of tracts that the company shall make. The board will order the company to extend its line wherever there is if popular demand for it, and where such i tension would justify the company. A failure to obey such a notice to the board will render the contract null and void. U.nder no circumstances will steam be permitted in the citv. All lines roust be operated by electricity or some improved motor pover.

lhe charter will take efleot when tbe contract is entered into, and not at the. time the franchise of the Citizens' company shall have expired. Bonds' ill be required for tie faithful performance of the contract and a street improvement fund may also be asked. THE KEVT CITIZENS' COMPANY.

However, the company will not do this un- less it gets its charter renewed or -er.

tended. There are several things that the may --demand which the company will not agree to. The company: has the opinions of a number of prominent attorneys that its cnarter is in a measure perpetual; that when it expiree tbat it can not be compelled to take iu tracks off the streets which they have osed for agreat many' years. Another point that is made by both the CMi-eas' and, the -company is that it is doubtful if the city cad sell the street- car franchise to the -highest bidder. They claim tbat tbe city has-only tut-U au- thority.ns is delegated to it by the Mate," which the sovereign power, and thnt it eon not go outside of the I revisions of the charter.

Attorneys have Said that there la nothing in the city charter that tuthorixee the selling of franchises to the hicheit bidder. They admit, however, that the city in granting these franchises can maka certain reservations. 'r' AS 1NCINDIA11T PIIU5 Endangers the Safety of Martlr-svllls and Causes 812,000 Loss.
