Proposed Retaliation on Government:
Which Prohibit Its Importation.
Spacial IN the TndiananoIia JournaI

Proposed Retaliation Governments
Which Prohibit It's Importation.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The resolution
offered to-day by Representative Townshend,
of Illinois, to prohibit the importation of
German wines, was a retaliatory measure,
provoked by the action of the German gov
ernment in forbidding the further lntroduc-
ton of American meats into the markets of
that country. 1t is not likely that anything
will come of the Townshend resolution, but
it may suggest plan of retaliation that will
put stop to the reckless issuance of further
arbitrary orders from foreign governments
against American meats. These orders have
invariably been made in obedience to a
clamor from traders who are jealous of the
growing popularity of American meats
among the working classes of Europe. Our
packers have found great market for their
cheap meats in the crowded communities of
the Old World, and their goods are far su-
perior in every respect to the meats the
European consumers of small means can OBJ
tain from their local butchers, besides being
much cheaper. The drive and enterprise of
Americans in pushing their products
into foreign markets has alarmed their
foreign rivals, and as result of
their Vaccinations American meats
are in a great measure debarred
from sale in a large portion of Europe, to
the great detriment of the laboring classes
and to the enrichment of those who have
thus been enabled to keep up the price of
meats to point beyond the reach of the
wage e-getters.
1t has been suggested that the best way to
bring these foreign governments to a sense
of their shortsightedness is to put an abso-
lutely prohibitory duty on wines, silks aud
a hundred other luxuries which are now ad-
mitted in American ports on the payment
of a moderate tax. "This," said promi-
nent Western senator, would put
stop to further foolishness. The cry of
diseased meats, which is the excuse set up
by France and Germany for the embargo
they have placed on American meats, is all
CANNON. The government officers had to have
an excuse, and this was adopted for the double
purpose of giving them ground to stand on
and to excite an ignorant populace against
the property they were trying to drive out
of their home market"
This matter is one of peculiar interest
where hogs, corn and cattle are raised 1t is
very probable that this question will come
up prominently before the next.Congress.

Nessrs. Peelle and Steele have also de-
clared themselves as being decidedly in favor
of doing something. If perfection cannot be
reached at once they believe in at least
taking step toward the end desired, to
prove to the country that the party has not
been playing a confidence game upon the
people. The Indiana delegation is indIg-
nant at the course resorted to during the
last of the week by the Robson Reed Kelley
Keifer combination to defeat legislation, and
in common with four-6fths of the Republi-
cans stand ready to adopt strong measures to
carry out the will of the party in the few
days that are left

THE NEwHALL HOUSE.
scheller Indicted for Arson, and Admitted
to Bail.

MILWAUKEE, Feb 26,-The grand jury in
noon on a true bill against Scheller, the
former lessee of the bar-room in the hotel
indicting him for arson. The indictment
contains three counts. The first charges the
prisoner with wilfully, maliciously and
feloniously setting fire to and burning the
Newhall during the night of Jan. 10, causing
the death of Thomas B. Elliott, David G.
Powers, Robert Howie, Kate Conners, Lizzie
Anglin and Libbie Achillis. No other vic
Tins are mentioned in the count The
second repeats the first, and adds that
the bedding was owned by the Newhall
House Stock Company, corporation created
and existing by and under the laws of Wis
consn, and the third count is a repetition of
the second with the addition that the build
ing commonly known and called the New
hall House was leased to and occupied by
one John F. Antisdel. The prisoners coun-
sci was at once notified, and insisted upon
immediate arraignment Scheller was taken
from Jail to the court at o'clock almost un-
observed. The court was crowded when the
prisoner entered, but no signs of any dis
turbance were discernable. After the read
ing of the indictment the prisoner an
swered the usual question in a firm
tone, mot guilty, sir" Counsel asked
Tor admittance to bail, remarking that pleas
of not guilty might formally be withdrawn
if the motion to quash the Indictment should
be determined upon by the defense. The
court fixed the bail at $4,000 and the pris-
oner was taken back to Jail. The attorneys
say that owing to the late hour bail was not
obtainable tonight, but will surely be to-
morrow. Toward evening the Indictment of
Scheller was the general talk, but no threats
against the prisoner can be heard The sher-
iff and police have taken precautionary meas
ures to guard the Jail, which, to all appear
ance, will be superhuous The talk with
Schellers friends is to the effect that bail
will be forthcoming. The grand jury is still
in session, considering the responsibility of
the managers of the hotel. 1t is believed
that one Indictment for mansaughter will
be returned against Nash, Antisdel and Night
Clerk Delaney. The labors of the grand jury
will not be finished before next week.

men who are to constitute their personal
staff, but in this case Secretary Teller has
taken the matter in his own hands, and in
the face of protest from Marble recon-
mended a man of his own choice. The
charges against Dyerenforth are e,of serious
character, but as he is personally backed by
Senator Logan and the Secretary of the
Interior, Ire is confident be will be con-
firmed. The Patent Office is in a ferment of
excitement over the quarrel, and tongues
are running with great freedom. EN-
ployes and those who have business
with the bureau are taking sides and talking
right out in meeting. This Office has
for years been prolific source of small but
malignant scandals touching the official in
tegrity of some of the attaches and the man
agemen. of some of the important divisions.
It has been openly charged that Edison and
other inventors of wealth, position and in
fluence have tunnels for the transmission
of office secrets which should be known only
to the inventors and sworn officials of the
department, who are pledged to keep these
secrets sacred. These stories have been de-
MED, but an ugly odor remains which has
not been entirely removed. Dyerenforth's
appointment has stirred up a very nasty
mess, and the stencil arising therefrom per-
meates the city,

The Dixmont Insane Asylum Investigation

P1TTsBURG, Feb 26.-The Dxmont Insane
Asylum investigation was resumed to-day
The morning session was taken up entirely
by the testimony of ID. O. c.. Carroll, an in
mate of 1879. He stated that when first
taken there he was used very roughly; he re-
fused to take medicine, and was knocked
down, kicked and choked. After the second
day he never received any more abuse but
saw plenty of others maltreated. One of the
worst cases was that of a patient named
Myers. Harper, an attendant, appeared to
have a special dislike for Myers, and abused
him on all occasions One day patient
named Lowell struck Myers and knocked
HIM against bench, when Harper rushed in
with leather strap and struck Myers on the
back with buckle and chased him into his
cell. Harper had a bunch OF keys
with which he used to strike
the patients face. Witness was
placed in cell with two others, one of
whom was exceedingly filthy. The venti-
lation was Door and the atmosphere unbear-
able. The strawticks were not changed, and
often coated with filth. Another case was
that Of a patient named Swanson, tall and
slim and subject to fits. One day Swanson
lost sock and couldn't find it. An attend
ant named Jamison said he would make him
find it, and struck him. They cinched and
fell, Swanson on top. Jamison managed to
get up first however, and began kicking
Swanson about the body in a horrible and
brutal manner. The latter plead for him to
quit, and offered regular prayer to God for
help. He then went into fit, and Jamison
left him lying on the floor.

Parnell and the Crimes Act.

LONDON, Feb. 26-In the Commons Par.

tration of the crimes act. The language OF
the amendment is very violent, and refers to
'unj just executions" In moving the amend.
ment Parnell said if there had been any re-
duction in the number of outrages in Ireland
it is only because the people were being kept
down by brutal and terrible coercion act,
administered in brutal and terrible way.
He pointed to the fact that hardly any per-
sons arrested under the Curfew clause had
been convicted, and showed that
the power of arrest was abused. He
complained of the conduct of the Irish
judges, mostly appointed for political rea-
sons, and therefore unfit to try political
causes. When the people saw juries packed
and judges turned crown prosecutors, all
sympathy with law and order was destroyed
and the people inevitably became abetors,
If the government, after the Phoenix Park
murders. had relied on the sympathy of the
people, instead of upon tyrranical act, Ire
land would have been pacified. He protested
against the proclamation against meetings
and persecution of the press. Freedom of
speech did not exist in Ireland. In the
Hynes and other murder cases, the juries
were composed almost exclusively of
Protestants, castle tradesmen or ac-
quaintances of the Lord-lieutenant.
The administration of law was de-
tested by everybody. He defed
the government to continue to govern Ir2
land without the sympathy of the people.
The amendment to the land act was urgent,
though even that would quench the spirit OF
Irish nationality. He believed Chamberlain

For the first time this session
the Republicans were practically united
upon programme which promises
results in tariff legislation, and with the ex-
ception of few extreme protectionists, the
Republicans voted for it solidly. The fight
was pretty one from the moment Mr.. Reed
set the ball rolling to the adjournment of the
House. The buncombe speeches of the Dem

Enough members are pledged to vote for the

every Democrat should absent himself to pre-

in from all quarters of the country against
the passage of the illy-digested Senate bill,

1t is believed that the depositors will be paid

thing. The suspension is thought to be due
to depreciation in real estate, with which the
bank has been loaded up for years. 1t had a

showed a surplus fund of nearly ST., 900, and
deposits of $165 900.
