ing of the Senate committee on judiciary to-morrow morning, when tbe nomination ofJudge Woods is to be taken up, and thenask for a postponement of considera-tion, on the ground that they had not beengiven timely notice to at near to submittheir arguments against confirmation. Itis understood to-nig- ht that they will bepresent at the meeting to-morro- w, havingbeen informed that should they not appear,after notice was posted to them as long agoas last Tuesday, the committee would re-port the nomination, tbcro having been noproper objection filed demanding considera-tion. The following appeared in to-day- 's
Washington Post, ard shows that the twoIndiana Senators ur their friends have notceased to conduct their warfare againstJudge Woods through the columns of thenewspapers and by an appeal to prejudicorather than the sober judgment of the Sen-ate committee on judiciary, tbe tribunalwhich is to first pass judgment:
"Senator Voorhees, who has been in Indi-ana for two weeks, will return to-morr- ow
prepared for his fight against the confirma-tion of the appointment of Judge Woods tothe new circuit judgeship. Senator Voorbeesand his colleague, Senator Tnrpie, will makothis fisbt a hot one from the outset. Thediscussion of this matter in the executivesession of the Senate may lead to a reviewof the campaign of 1S8S in Indiana. Theehartres which the Senator from Indianawill bring against Judge Woods will, it issaid, be supported by copies of court rec-ords in Indiana and statements decidedlysensational in their character. It remainsto be seen whether or not this attack upona Republican nominee will precipitate anassault upon Judge Dallas, the Democraticmember of the court chosen by the Presi-dent from Pennsylvania, and against whoseappointment some Republican oppositionhas been manifested."
It . understood that every possible effortwill be made to secure a postponement ofaction by the committee, so that, shouldthere not be a report made to tee becateupon the nomination, it will not necessarilymean that the objections raised or chargessubmitted are of a serious nature. Sena-toi- s
Voorhees and Turpie have had almosta month in which to formulate their pro-ceedings against th& nomination of JudgeWoods.

replied the Senator, "that it is the onlypractical thing that can be oone a uimtime. Of course the agitation of the ques-tion can go on in and out of Congress foran indefinite length of time without reallyaccomplishing anv practical results, but if amonetary conference can agree upon someplan which would receive the approval oftho countries interested, tho whole ques-tion mar be satisfactorily settled. I donot think this agitation that is going onnow is doing any good, but that it is doingharm all the time, whereas the other mightbring about a satisfactory result. As tothe time when the congress should be held,I have not given that subject any particu-lar attention."
"But I am in favor, acd have' been for along time, of a conference between theprincipal commercial countries of theworld with a view of establishing a com-mon ratio and restortmg the use of silveras one of the money metals. I believe in theuse of both gold and silver, and if the con-ditions were reversed, and gold were at "adiscount as compared with silver. 1 wouldbe in favor of such measures as would re-store thsm to paritv."
What do yon think of the prospects ofthe passage or the measure proposed!"
"1 think that the measure, if properlyframed, will pass both houses, although, inmy opiuion, what are known as the ultrafree-coinag- e men would oppose it. 1 donot think it is good policy for tbe Demo-cratic party to adopt a free-coins- ge
platform, for the very obvious reasonthat there is a division in tbe party itselfupon that question. In fact, it is a policywhich ought not to bo adopted withouttbe gravest consideration. I do notconsider that the silver question hasa9 yet received adequate .consider-atio- n
from tho people of the country. Ithink that the people generally have givenit a superficial examination, and have cometo their conclueions largely upon what theysupposed to be a necessity for a largervolume of circulation, without much re-gard to the real merits of this particnl&rproposition."
SOMEBODY nAS LIED,
And That Imputation la Not Resting; on theAmerican 8allors, Either.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.Washington, Jan. 10. Intense feeling is
again aronsed as the reports come in of thetestimony given Dy tbe sailors of theUnited States cruiser Baltimore. On theface of the testimony the outrage is moregrave than was first stated, and if it werenot for the flat contradictions coming fromChili there would be little further delayin President Harrison's special message. Itwas reported to-d-ay that the message wouldbe sent to Congress to-morro- w, but thatis not at all probable, as it will not be pre-pared until the officers as well as the sail-ors have testified and Judge Advocate-gener- al
Remy has submitted his report orgiven telegraphic indication of the generalconclusions. It is already apparent fromthe testimony thus far taken that therewill be . an irreconcilable differeno be-
tween the two governments on the ques-tion of facts. One' side or the other haslied, and the natnral disposition here isnot to discredit the version given by theAmerican sailors. The official documentswhich Minister Montt handed to Mr. Blainethe other day as giving the findings ofthe Chilian procurator fiscal, stated thatthe Baltimore incident originated in abrawl between intoxicated sailors, andfurther, that "the police did all they weredirected to do in suppressing the disorder."But it is contended by the authoritiesthat the Baltimore sailors directly con-tradict this Chilian version, as they agreethat the incident did not originate in abrawl, but in a preconcerted conspiracy,which, was carried into effect by attackson the Americans at five or six points inValparaiso at tbe same moment. Moreover,the sailors 6ay the Valparaiso police con-tributed totheattacK and the Indignities,Congressmen who have called on the Presi-dent say that he is watching the daily de-velopments of the inquiry at Vallejo, andthat he now feels more than ever that theattack on our sailors was due to malicetoward Americans as a nation, and not tothe individuals concerned. Furthermore,it is said the President is growingtired of Chilian legal methods of redress.It turns out the procurator fiscal's investi-gation is merely preliminary and similar tothe indictment of a grand jury in thiscountry. The trial of the otlonders is yetto come, and it may be many months be-fore a verdict is reached. It is very doubt-ful if the President will consent to awaittho tedious methods of Chilian courts.
Sailors Foully Slardered.San Fhancisco, Jan. 10. United States
District Attorney Carter, who has been as-
sisting Judge Advocato-cener- al Remy inthe Baltimore investigation, at Vallejo,said to-nigh- t: "There is no doubt but thatRiggiu and Turnbull were foully murdered,that the assaults on the Americans wereunprovoked, and that many were outra-geous. The testimony points very stronglyto the' fact that while ' the at-tack resulted from a quarrel betweenRiggin, Talbot and a Chilian sailor, it wasseized upon by the Chilian nub as a pre-text for a general attack. It was also fullyshown that the police and soldiers in Chi-lian uniforms made little effort to dispelthe crowd and protect the Americans, andthat they even joined in tbe assault. Al-though there were instances of arrestsmade, and even of protection given toAmerican sailors during that time, 1 stillaffirm that Riggin and Turnbull werefoully murdered."
NOT EARNING THEIR SALARIES.
The New Congress All Tangled Up and Noth-ing Being Accomplished.
Washington, Dec. 10. The Fifty-secon- d
Congress is now in the second month of itsexistence, yet it has not materially ad-vanced any legislation, nor is the presentweek likely to work any change in thisparticular. The Senate is waiting on theHouse, where the appropriation bills mustoriginate; and, in the absence of rules con-ferring tho necessary authority, theHouse committees are unable to report anymeasures on the calendars. There is noth-ing of general interest (unless tho old Weiland L'Abra bills may be thus characteri-zed), and there is little prospect of reportscoming from committees at an early day inthe week, so that beyond listening tospeeches and considering nominations inexecutive session there will be little fortbe Senate to do. The House has no pro-sram- me
of business for this week. It isstill embarked on the sea of "general par-liamentary practice7 and until 4 code ofrules be framed tbe course of tbe proceed-ings will depend on tbe conditions thatarise from day to day. The committeesnave as yet done nothing more than effectan organization, so that it is unlikely thatany measure will be on the House calen-dars in season for action before the nextweek. --r
Under the temporary order of the House,made to facilitate business prior to theadoption of a full set of rules, Monday willbe devoted to the introduction of bills un-der a call of tbe States. The committee onaccounts expects to report early in theweek a resolution making the usual assign-ment of clerkships to committees. Thereis some opposition to tho allowance ofclerks to the smaller committees, whichmay lead to a prolonged debate on the ne-cessity for economy in expenditures.
Mr. Blount, chairman of the foreign af-fairs committee, has moved a reconsidera-tion of the vote by which the House refusedconcurrence in the benate resolution mak-ing an appropriation to charter a supplyvessel for tbe relief of Russian famine suf-ferers, and if the opportunity comes he willendeavor to have tbe House agree to a ref-erence of the resolution to the foreign af-fairs committee.

a radical ritorosmox.Representative Springer Wants to Ileal the
llreach on the Sliver Oaestlou.5pf clal to tbe Indianapolis Journal.
Washington, Jan. 10. An importantphase of the silver question has just beendeveloped, as a result of Mr. Springer'sspeech to the Business Men's Association,in New York, last Friday night At thattime Mr Springer hinted that a certainproject was on foot by which the silverquestion would bo so treated as to satisfythe peoplo of the West, North and South.He said, however, that tho project did notcontemplate a free-coina- ge bilk These re-
marks have occasioned much commenthere, particularly among the silver men,who could not understand bow any projectcould bo adopted which would give satis-faction to every section of the country, andyet would not attempt to satisfy the radi-cal free-silv- er section.
This speculation has brought put the ex-
act details of Mr. Springer's plans for dis-posing of this very troublesome subject.It is nothing short of a programmo tohave the entire silver question post-poned until an international monetaryconference can be held in Chicaao, in 1803,asafeatnroof the Colombian exposition.Mr. Springer has already suggested hisplan to a few of his intimate friends, andit will be laid before Uongress at an earlydate. Those who have known of the planlook npon it as a most adroit politicalmove, for it is well recognized that there isau irreconcilable difference between thesilver and the anti-silve- r Democrats of theHouse. Up to the time the Springer prop-osition was suggested there appeared to beno way of healing this' breach. The elec-tion of Crisp as Speaker made it widerthan ever, as it gave the silver men an op-portunity to say that tbe defeat of Miltsmeant that the tariff was not to be tbemain issne to the exclusion of silver. It isthe silver question, also, which has broughtabout the main division of sentiment amongDemocrats as to tho candidacy of Mr.Cleveland, for the silver Democrats cannotreconcile themselves to Mr. Cleveland'santi-silv- er views.
MILK IN THE COCO AN UT.Speaker Crisp's coinage committee, com-
posed overwhelmingly of free silver men,indicated further that the silver questionwould be precipitated on the House andcause party division on the eve of a presi-dential election. How to avoid this splithas received the attention of Messrs. Gor- -manAIIill and many Ather shrewd partyleaders, but they have thus far failed to hitnpon a plan which would put off the per-plexing question and yet give satisfactionto all sides. But in this emergency Mr.Springer comes forward with what appearsto be the most feasible means of dealingwith the question. In President Harrison'srecent message he said, in his treatment offinance:
"1 have endeavored, by means of officialand unoflicial agencies, to keep a close ob-servation of the state of public sentimentin Europe upon the question of bimetallismand monametallism, and have notfound it to be such as to justify mein proposing an international con-ference." However, on this point Mr.Springer does not agree with the President,lie thinks that the best conclusion of thesilver question can be reached by anlinter-nation- al
conference, in Chicago, inlS'A atwhich the great money countries of tbeworld would be represented. Tho disputedqnestions of tbe ratio between gold Andsilver, and' the proportion of each metal tobe coined could be considered and an inter-national agreement arrived at if possible.Mr. Springer proposes, therefore, to submita proposition to Congress directing thePresident of tbe United States to invitethe nations of the world to this monetaryconference in 193. With such a proposi-tion agreed to all parties and factions couldput aside the prevailing silver question lora time and wait for tho results of the in-ternational conference.
Such is the project, as Mr. Springer him-self has outlined it, to some of his personalfriends. It has notas yetreaohedthe ears oftbe radical silver men. and it is not knownhow they will view Mr. Springer's plan ofchoking off their hobby until 1803. Asidefrom the merits of the. proposed conferenceit will be conceded by politicians that Mr.Springer's idea is a most ingenious one forquieting factional disorders until after thepresidential contest. With such a confer-ence agreed to there would be no longerany diver issue to harols Mr. Cleveland.Even the extreme silver men would beable to satisfy their constituents by point-ing ahead to the international conference.In short, the Springer programme, if car-ried out, would remove tho silver questionfrom national politics for a year at least,and would thus put an end to one of themost troublesome factors in national af-
fairs.HOW IT COULD BK DONE.
Said Mr. Springer: "In view of tho factthat the Columbian exposition will be heldin Chicago durfng the year 1803, and, there-fore, prior to the assembling of the first ses-
sion of tbe next Congress, it seems most ap-
propriate that this international congressshould be held in that city during that time.This congress should be a popular one. Itshould be a congress, not a secret confer-ence or commission, as in the past, andshould have a large representation fromthis government and tbe governments withwhich we maintain diplomatic relations.Its proceedings should be published thesame as the proceedings of Congress, andrepresentatives of tbe press should be ad-mitted to all its sessions. It would thusbecome a great educational occasion for theenligbtment, not only of tbe people of thiscountry, but of all other countries in ref-erence to the subject to be considered by it.Tbe representatives on behalf of theUnited States shonld be appointed by thePresident of the Senate and theSpeaker of tbe House of Representa-tives. At least more than four ofwhom should be members of tbesame political party, and who shouldrepresent, so far as possible, the differentshades of opinion upon the coinage of sil-ver. Those appointed by the President ofthe Senate should be members of the Sen-ate and those by the Speaker of tbe Houseshould be members of the present House ofRepresentatives. It might be well also toauthorize tbe Secretary of State and theDirector of tbe Mint in office to act also asrepresentatives from the United States. Ifinternational agreements could be securedupon the subjects mentioned, and if suchagreements could meet tbe approval of e.vensome of the leading nations of theearth, this would be the greatestachievement of the century. Butif none ct such agreements oould besecured the education npon the subjectwhich will result I from the publication ofthe proceedmgsof the congress woulfif nabeour own Congress when it assembles in De-cember. 18Va, to ttaci) a conclusion uponthe subject ot Mltey coinage that wouldbest promote the" interest ot our owu peo--.

GRIP ATTACKS IIOYALTY.
A Supposed Pasting Cold Develops IntoInfluenza and Pneumonia.
tSrcclalto tl.e Indianapolis JoarcaJ,London, Jan. 10. Alarm has been caused
in the royal household by the serious ill-ness of the Duke of Clarence and Avon-dal- e,
eldest son of the Prince of Wales.The Duke has been showing signs of illnessfor some days, but it was hoped he Ladnothing more than a passing cold. Yester-day and to-da- y, however, it has become ap-parent that tbe Dnke has a severe attackof influenza, and that it is complicatedwith pneumonia. This combination hasproved fatal in so many instanoes of latethat the royal family feel an anxietygreater, perhaps, than tbe same attackwould nnder ordinary circumstances ex-
cite. Among the people, also, tbe news ofthe Duke's illness arouses more sympathythan would have been the case a monthago. before bis engagement to Prince asMary of Teckhad been announced. ThoDnke has been much more popular sinceIt became known that he was to marry forlove a woman of English birth.
So serious is the present attack that allappointments made by the Prince havebeen canceled, and tbe marriage, ap-pointed lor the 27th of February, for whichgreat preparations are beiug made, will, ofcourse, depend npon his recovery. Whenthe news of her lover's condition was car-ried to the Princess she showed the deepestanxiety and wanted to go immediately tohis side. Inquiries are pouring in from allquarters as to the Duke's condition. Shouldtbe Dnke become a victim of the diseasewhich has been playing havoo in Englandand on the continent, his place as to heirto the throne, after the Prince of Wales,would be taken by the sailor prince,Qeorge, who is a .more popular favoritethan auy other member of the royal family.Already there is speculation on this sub-ject, although at present there is no reasonto apprehend a fatal result of tho Duke'amalady.
The Plague In London.Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal
London, Jan. 10. There is no abatementof tbe plague of influenza in London, andthe hospitals are taxed to their utmost ca-pacity in accommodating tho numerouscases pouring in upon them. Matters aremade worse by the fact that a number olregular physicians on the staff of almostevery hospital are stricken down with thedisease and unable to perform their shareof the increased work. Many of tbe stu-dents at Guy's Hospital, too, have fallenvictims to the prevailing Privatepractitioners aro also overwhelmed by thenumber of influenza cases to which theyaro summoned. The leading physicians,whose patients are of the class willing andeven anxious to imploy trained nurses, re-port it impossible to till the demand forsuch attendants. Skilled nurses can com-mand their own price, and it their numberwas many times multiplied all could ob-
tain good places.Mlas Medill, or Chicago, Dead.
Pais, Jan. 10. The sudden and unex-pected death of Miss Josephine FlorenceMedill, the youngest daughter of JosephMedill. editor of the Chicago Tribune, oc-
curred here to-da-y. Miss MediU's illnesshad been almost trifling. Last month shehad an attack of the grip or influenza, andhad, it was thought, fully recovered. LastFriday she was well enough for a drive,but the exposure induced a relapse, andshe gradually succumbed to a fatal conges-tion of the lungs.

The Sultan or Morocco Fromnlates GrarsCharges Agalnkt llrltUh Offlclala.
Special to tlie Indianapolis Journal.London, Jan. 10. A sensation has been
caused by the publication of a letter froma gentleman whose position gives him op-
portunity lor knowing the inside historyof affairs in Morocco, and who hints at thoprobability of interesting rovelations be-
ing made as a result of the present im-
broglio between Ecsland. France. Italyand Spain in connection with the Tangierrebellion. The writer says the Sultan ofMorocco is incensed at the action of thoforeign representatives resident in his do-
minions, especially against the British.This ill feeling is not without justification,as will appear when all the facts aroknown, if they ever are.
Why," aeks the Sultan, "If England hasdetermined to crush slavery, does she ap-point a slave-deal-er to reside as an officialat one of my citieef' This mnst be admit-ted to beapertineut inquiry, not only froma Moroccan point ot view, but in any lighlin which it may be ciamined. Tbe Sultanizocs on to propound other embarrassingqnestiors. "Why," he asks, "does Englandclaim exemption from taxation on commer-cial transactions in slaves! Why does sheimprison my subjects, and torture and evenmurder them; in other cases being contentwith extorting ransom from them, theironly crime being that they have publiclyapproved my action in only exercising mysovereign riants!
This probably may lead to the discoveryof what has long been suspected in certainquarters, namely, that some British ofliciatin Morocco has been abusing his position tcenrich himself by engaging clandestinelyin the slave-trad- e, ihc Moorish ollicialshave been afraid to interfere, not knowingbowfarthe British government would goin defending its representative, who couldeasily make out a prima facie case of inno-cence. Investigation will, itis thought bymauy.shovrs that not only the English, butother representatives have been guilty ofthe practices complained of by the bultan.

raigned in the Yorkville Folice Court to-
day on complaint of Martin Suva,- - whokeeps a Swedish boarding-hous- e and intel-ligence office at No. 408 Third avenue. TheCount is charged both with obtainingmoney under false pretenses and grandlarceny. Suva stated to the court that hemet the prisoner on Dec 5 and was told byhim he was a member of a wealthy Swedishfamily, but was in temporary hard luck.His grandmother, he said, was Mrs. Clara13. Moore, of 510 Broad street.

100 each, which he represented were fullypaid up and negotiable. This stock he of--ferred to Suva for $338, and Suva took it,
paying $33 down and promising the balancain a few days. Meanwhile he communi-cated with the secretary of the association,and pending an answer not only boardedthe Count but also liquidated an old board-bi- ll

A few daysago Suva received an answer from the sec-retary of tbe building association inform-ing him that the certificates were worth-less. Then Suva had him arrested.

McAlister. Ind. T.t Jan. 10. This wasa day of mourning at Krebs, the scene ofthe recent mining disaster, in which somany men lost their lives. The funerals ofmost of the victims whose bodies havebeen recovered were held to-da- y. Therewere no religious services, excepting in afew cases, and the only ceremony observedin connection with the funerals was thatof secret organizations, of which most ofthe victims were members. Fifteen of thedead bodies were buried yesterday. Allthe coffins available then -w- cr-csd,-aBd
the other burials were delayed until to-da- y,
when coffins were received by express fromthe nearest towns in the neighborhood.The caskets were of tbe simplest selection,and were furnished by the mining com-pan- y.
There was only one hearse in thetown of Krebs, so tnat it was necessary touse every sort of vehicle to convey thebodies to the cemetery. Ordinary "lumberwagons'' were the greatest in number do-ing duty as fancral carriages, and in somecases "dump" carts from the mines werebrought iuto requisition.
The funerals took place at 10 o'clock thismorning, thirty-seve- n bodies being placedunder the ground. The graves of theidentified dead were marked by plainhead-stone- s of wood, with the names andages printed thereon. The nnidentiiiedwere piaced in graves by number. Theirclothes found upon them and the contentsof their pockets were retained by the min-ing officials, and are all marked with num-bers corresponding to tbe respective num-bers of the graves for tbe purpose of futureidentification.
Death added three more victims to thelist of killed to-da- y, making tbe total num-ber fifty-eigh- t. A canvass among the phy-sicians attending the injured discloses thefact that the deaths of seventeen more arelikely to occur within the next tweDty-- foar hours. Those who died to-da- y were
S. Powell, Albert Arlinger and EmanuelLorenzo. Tho rescuing parties discon-tinued their work to-da- y at noon, havingsatisfied themselves that there were nomore bodies buried in the debris. Theyare also satisfied that there are none oftheir comrades within the chambers of themine. Every pile of debris was thoroughlysearched, and every gallery and chamberinvestigated. No more bodies werf found,ind no signs of life were found.
The joint committee of miners and mineofficials will begin to-morr- the officialinvestigation as to the cause of the acci-dent.

The South Dakota Blan Coming Back Intuthe Fold.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.Washington, Jan. 10. Senator Pettigrew,of South Dakota, who voted with SenatorsPlumb and Paddock against the McKinleytariff bill, says he will hereafter be foundin a straight line with bis party on alltariff, issues. He says: "I voted againstthe conference report on the McKinley billbecause I believed that tho report in fail-ing to make certain concessions demandedby the people of the Northwest, had doneus a wrong. 1 hoped that tbe conferencereport would be defeated in order that inthe reconsideration of the matter our claimswould be recognized. I am certainly aIirotectionist. and not, as some supposed, a
"Then the Democrats are not altogethersale in counting upon you to vote for freewool, free binding-twin- e and free every-thing else?"
"If they are doing that," was the Sena-tor's reply, "they will get cold comfortfrom me."
Senator Pettigrew is being urged as therepresentative of the Northwest on the ap-propriation committee, although he hashas taken no steps himself in this direc-tion. He believes, as do a large number ofWestern Senators, that the large amount ofpower and responsibility now vested in tbeSenate committee on appropriations is alto-gether out of proportion to the small num-ber of Senators on the committee. Per-sonally. Senator Pettigrew is in favor ofthe division of the appropriation billsamong the several appropriate committees,as is done in the House. "I believe." hesays, "that such a change would be con-ducive to economy, and would certainlyput the appropriation bills in tbe hands ofmen thoroughly fitted to deal with them."
MINOR MATTERS.Talking-Matc- h for tbe Position of Reading
Clerk of the House.Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
Washington, Jan. 10. Tests in the con-test for appointment to the very difficultand trying position of reading clerk havebeen going on ever since the House organ-ized last month. On the start there wereabout forty aspirants. That number hasnow narrowed down to four men with po-
sitions in waiting for two of them. Promi-nent in tbe contest is Mr. William J.Houchtaling, of Albany, N. Y., a descend-ant of the distinguished Dutch family ofHoughtalings. He was a friend of the lateSecretary Manning, and filled for a longwhile the important position of examinerof civil service examinations in tho Treas-ury Department.
May Abolish the Fee System.Washington, ;Jan. 10. An effort will be
made by a number of Democratio Repre-sentatives in Congress to have the appro-priations committee recommend that thefee system in federal offices be abolished sofar as can well be done. A number of Con-gressmen, especially in the Southern States,urge that the certainness of the fee systemresults in much hardship to people in theirStates through deputy marshals and othercourt officers straining the laws for thepurpose of making cases in courts, andthereby increasing the emoluments of theiroffices. It is nrged that the governmentwould really save a great deal of money bypaying salaries to such employes as arenecessary in fee offices and requiring thatall fees shall be turned into the UnitedStates Treasury. Vigorons opposition,however, is expected to this reform, andthe appropriations committee has not yetgot to work, so that it is uncertain whatwill be the outcome.
