HA LET AT MICIIIGAS CIT Harley Snbmlta Hia Resignation I Selection of fehldeler' to Succeed Hint spoken of na Shrewd Slove by Steele. Charley Harley. who late yerterJay afternoon resigned as warden of the Indiana State prison at Michigan City, a position he has held for four years," will be succeeded by George A. II. of Marion, who.

waa chairman of the ways and means committee, of the House of Representatives of the last General Assembly. Mr. Harley'a resignation caused surprise to many of his friends, although for the last six months It had been known to the board of directors of the prison that he was contemplating such a step. The reason for his action la announced to be the illness of hia wife, which demands that she leave Michigan City. Friends of Mr.

Harley In this city also underatajid that he was. partly Influenced to take the step he did by criticism of hia disciplinary methods by the Board ot State Charities. Which they characterize as unjust to the warden. The board of directors of the prison views the resignation with regret. General Foster, of this city, who la a member of the board, said to day that the board, when It met next Tuesday, would adopt a resolution of regret that Mr, Harley was going to leave the prison, and it would give him a vote of thanks for his efforts at the lasti tutlon.

Shldeler's Selection. it was certainly known, three weeks ago. that Mr. Harley would resign. Mr.

Nebeker, of the board. It la said, visited Marlon and offered the place to Mr. Bhldeler. Mr. Shideler had the proposition under consideration until day before yesterday, when he came to this city and made lw known that he would accept the place.

It Is considered a certainty that he will be elected by the Board of Prison Directors at their meeting In this city next Tuesday. Besides hia connection with the last General Assembly, Air. Shideler Is a member of the Board of; Directors of the Indiana Reform School, for Boys, at Plainfleld. and Is known as a prominent member of the Republican party in the State. Mr.

Harley haa been wardenjslnce 1S03, when he was elected by the 'board appointed by a commission, consisting of the Governor, the Attorney General, the Auditor of State, the Secretary of State and the Treasurer of State. By a later act of the Legislature, the power of appointing members of tile board was replaced In the hands of tie Governor. The position pays a salary of $2,500 a year. In addition to the furnishing, a home and provisions for the warden. Mr.

Harley. It Is said, also desired to leave the prison on acount of his business Interests at Delphi, where he and his brother, George Harley, have large lime kilns. It is understood that he will remove there with his family. THE PLAC1SO OF SHIDELER. Mr.

Steele is Credited with a Shrewd Political Move. ISpeelal to The Indianaiiolls Xews.l Tabash, August 23. The politicians, of this congressional district are Just now discussing a shrewd political move of Congressman George W. Steele, mho, since his defeat for the United StateB Senate, last winter, haa been lay Ins the ground plan for re election to the Beat. In Congress he haa filled for thirteen years.

Major Steeles prestige as a politician was not Improved by the si 'nR vote he received In the senatorial fight, and he recognized the importance of getting his fences In good condition before the campaign actively begins. When Major Steele was a. candidate for the Senate. M. 8hidele.r, member of the Legislature from Steele's of Grant, was an aspirant for the speakership.

He waa strong, and with his principal opponent. Frank Littleton, of Indianapolis, handicapped by the senatorial candidacy of Mr. Beverldge, It seemed certain Shideler would win. The opponents of Major Steele used effectively the argument that Steele and Shideler being from the same county, modesty In raking for office would become them both. The friends of Major Steele, therj fore, a conference with Shideler, and the latter got out of the major's way.

It being understood that Major Steele should suitably reward Shideler for the stcrljlce. Recent Developments. Recently Shideler has been "mentioned" as a candidate for Lieutenant Governor and for Buperlntendent of the Reform School at I'luJnQeld. but he haa denied that he waa an qsplrant. It now develops that he has been slated for warden 'of the prison and that as soon as Charley Harley.

of Delphi, retires, Shideler will step Into the place. There is still more "meat" in the deal than la Indicated In the foregoing. One of the leading Republicans in the Eleventh district says that after the senatorial caucus, Shideler, relying on what Major Steele had promised him. for stepping aside, asked the Congressman to appoint Dr. Wail postmaster at Marion.

Dr. Wail waa turned down, and Shideler, pretty warm, went after a position for another friend. Again he waa rebuffed, and he then dropped the major. For months there have been rumors that Mr. Shideler, who la popular, would be a candidate for Congress.

His boom as gathering volume, and a split In the Grant county delegation was Imminent. The county, with its forty two Republican votes, in convention could nominate its candidate. If It were solid. Divided, the nomination would go to another county. Major Steele's friends grew alarmed at Shldeler's Increasing strength, and cast about for a Job for the rival, one presented Itself In the post of warden of the nvrthem prison.

Steele had influence with R. S. Koeter and E. H. Nebeker.

members of the board, the deal was arranged, and Shideler gets the plum, while a durigerous) rival of the major is removed and he can devote nls energies to the other counties of the district. A POLITICAL MYSTERY. Friends of Frank B. Barke Say Ilia Coarse Pass Ira Thru. JSpeclai to The Indianapolis News.j Jeffersonville, August The friends of Frank B.

Burke In this city say thev are at a loss to understand how he can enter the Kentucky stump and support candidate Goebel. To day he speaks at Chaplin and has several other important places billed for an address. As is well known. Goebel is running as the nominee of a convention that approved the Chicago platform. Including the 16 to 1 plank.

Becently, while here on' a visit, Mr. Burke denounced William Jennings Bryan and his sliver, hobby. It was then the conclusion of Mr. Burke's friends that he was on the eve of going with the "irold bugs." Ex President Cleveland also came in for uncomplimentary remarks. During hh entire public life.

Mr. Burke has been known as a corporation man. and the chief issue of the Goebel faction is to down the Louisville Nashville railroad. How Mr. Burke could take up a fUht against Kentucky's greatest corporation is a mys ttry.

Polltlelaa Visiting Indiana, Where He Once Lived An English politician, whose successful career In his own country haa been credited to American influences! is Robert Bnckell, now en a visit to his former home In Indiana, and to day visiting Indianapolis. He came to America about thirty years ago and settled at Terre Haute, remaining there only seven yearn, but long enough to leave a decided Impression for unusual political and financial ability, and long; enough to take in thoroughly the spirit of American politics and to grasp the ideas of political organization in.

America. The Indiana climate made necessary the return of his family to England, and hia career has thus been lit England Instead of America, as be expected It to be. When he left Indiana It waa as a well to do man although his capital was small when he came here as an orator whose eloquence was heard In the pulpit as often as on the stump, and as a leader In the ranks of the Republican party. On his return to Oxford, his former home, he made such rapid strides toward success In the Liberal party that twice the Conservatives used campaign funds to send a representative to Indiana to obtain proof that be had been naturalized here. The papers had been made out, but the last steps had never been taken, and they were produced In Oxford by the Liberals to prove that they were without the necessary signatures.

He rose to the chair of mayor of Oxford by the fuoeesMve steps through the City Council and the alderman's office, and has occupied the mayor's chair four different terms. He has twice declined the unanimous nomination to stand for Parliament. Influence Relating; to Civil War. His first official recognition by the national leaders was during the civil wair In America," when English 'feeling was divided, and when the sympathizers with the Confederacy were using great force to win English recognition. The Mason and Slldeil Incident seemed about to termliiate In serious consequences for the North when John "Bright started out In hia can.palgn through England and Robert Buckell aided him with speeches, with pt mpblets, press letters and the Influence of clubs of young men.

In ISoO when Gladstone' waa returned to power, It waa by new methods of political organization, learned In America by Joseph Chamberlain and Robert Buckell and 01cnly accredited to them by their party. What the ex mayor of Oxford considers bis hardest work lasted for twenty ears. and resulted In the opening, dur ng the year of the Queen's Jubliee, of the new munlcliml buildings of The opposition called it "Buckeil's folly," and few movements have met with the resistance in Oxford which it had to overcome. The opening was one of the great events In the city's history, the Prince of Wales coming down for the event as the guest of Mr. Buckell, who was the mayor that year, and the Lllv eral leaders congregating there from all over England.

The Conservatives took their revenge by working through the Salisbury government, then in power, and Oxford's Liberal mayor had his name stricken from the rolls of those who were entitled to be knighted. Thereupon the Oxford University. of which Salisbury was and had for many years been the chancellor, took matters Into Its hands, and conferred an honorary degree on the mayor, doing this for the first time in its history for civic honors, giving as lis reason that few men had done as much to reconcile the "town and gown." Bnrnhnm House. Although do bitterly opposed by the political Conservatives. Mr.

Buckell counts among his friends many members cf the party, and many artistic and literary peo rle. The Duke of Marlborough, whose Blenheim home lsia few miles out of Oxford, has entertained h'm frequently, and his American wife has taken an active Interest In the success of the so called "American" In Oxford. The artist Turner waa a friend, and painted several favorite bits of scenery In Oxford county, and presented tbem to Mr. 'Buckell. which have pieces of honor in his home.

Cost Red need to to 910.G3 Sow with Prospect of Partner Redaction In the Future General Railroad Xews, The Indianapolis lines have met the rate made to New York by the Erie, and announce that first class tickets will be sold either via the Pennsylvania or the Big "Four for $16.55, the tickets to be fpTod for thirty days. The Chicago lines met the rate some days ago, and the prospects of a. good, lively fight for business are promising.

The Erie complained that the other lines were not dealing fairly, and threatened to cut the New York rate, but no attention was paid to the threat until It was put Into execution, and then the trouble began. What the Erie will do now la not known, but passenger men think the company will make a still further reduction. In which case the other lines will have' to meet It. Local passenger men ray they look for a very low rate to New York from thia city before the fight is brought to a close. MEXICAN RAILWAYS.

Sew Poller nf the Government In Relation to Them. New York, August 26. Speaking In reference to a report in Wall street that the Mexican government had made some concessions to the railways of that country In the matter of combinations for rate making purposes, the secretary of the Mexican National Railway Company said: "It la not true that the Mexican government has changed Its attitude toward the railways In this respect, for the roads there have for'several years had an agreement on rate which was sanctioned by the government, and which has worked satisfactorily. The legislation at the last session concerned only a re classlflcatlon of freight which la now divided Into twelve classes; this in measure simplifies operation of the lines, but nakes comparatively little change In pates. The important railway legislation at the last ees clon was that regarding concessions and subs idles.

Formerly the policy of the government was to grant these with a very free hand, 'so that the existing lines received valuable privileges and much help from the country's treasury. Concessions were then open for people who wanted to develop any region which they themselves controlled for farming or other purposes. Now, however, the government haa decided to restrict these grants of money and land, and will give them only to lines proposing to develop districts which the government regards as needing it. so that In future these concessions must meet a public demand rather than one for private purposes merely."
