KANSAS CITY, NO., Jan. 30.-The Okla
homa colonists, who for some weeks have
been engaged in the work of organization
here, left for Cofeyville, Kan, this morning,
the party consisting of fifty men. They go
by train to Coffeyville, the rallying point,
and there will meet Captain Payne and his
party from Arkansas City, and delegation
from Rich Hill, Mo-, besides individual
members from other places. On Feb l the
organized advance is to be made from the
rendezvous into the Indian Territory to the
Oklahoma lands. The would-be colonists
state that they do apprehend interference on
the part of the government, but in case a
military force is sent to remove them they
will retire, and then return to their cam ping
grounds as soon as the troops are Withdrawn.
Materials have been provided for the found
ing of town to be called Boudinot City, and
press provided for the publication of a
newspaper. Their hopes that the government
will not remove them are based upon the
fact that it has made grants in that country
to railroad corporations, and as the present
colony is larger than any that has hitherto
been formed, they are sanguine of success in
the enterprise.

SLY DAVID DAVIS.
His Approaching Marriage Announced by
His Friends.
Washington Special.

Washington Special.
Senator David Davis is engaged to be mar
ried to Miss E. A. Burr, of Fayetteville, n
c. The engagement is made public upon the
authority of Mrs. Hoge. wife of the member
of that name from West Virginia. Miss Burr
is spending the winter with Mrs. Hoge, so
the latter lisa very proper person to announce
the engagement. The marriage will take
place soon after the fourth of March. While
a great deal has been said about Mr.. Davis
marrying again. few even of his intimate
friends have believed the report until Mrs.
Hoge's announcement of the engagement.
Miss Burr is lady in the neighborhood of
35 years OF age. She is small, slight bru-
nette. Her features are plain, but express
i've of intelligence. She has. passed a num-
Der of winters in Washington, and was
friend of tine former Mrs. Davis. Miss Burr
lived at the National hotel. There she met
the Judge and his wife. Two years ago
Judge Davis went to Saratoga for his health.
He there met Miss Burr for the first time
since hls wife's death. The acquaintance
at Saratoga then resulted at the second sea-
son at Saratoga in the engagement. The
affair has been kept secret until the near ap-
proach of the wedding day makes publicity
necessary. The marriage will take place in
Washington, after which the newly-wedded
pair will go to the Judges house in Bloom
ington Miss Burr is of good family but
possesses no fortune of her own.

THE SIGNAL SERVICE.
General Hazen Talks savagely About Its
Conduct Under HOwgate.

Conduct Under Howgate
National Republican.
A history of tie proposition to transfer the
signal corps to the Interior Department has
just been published in pamphlet form by the
chief signal officer of the army. General Ha-
zen evidently does not propose to allow his
bureau TO be run the way it was run by How
gate, He says at the close of the pamphlet;
"On assuming this Office found its discipline
and spirit, so far as referred to small por-
ton of the enlisted men, the most willful
and insnbordinate possible, the Myer, Cap
itap letters, written in the office, fairly illus
trating it. These men had taken advantage
of General Myers two years of illness, and
the disqualification incident to the conduct
plan for carrying on the bureau in their own
way, and they showed contempt for prop
er authority, applying this contempt to
me in way that no bureau, either civil or
military, could permit. sent some of these
men to stations, discharged Others from the
service, and very few still remain. All of
these, with Van Heusen and few allies in
this city, have in every possible way sought
to bring about what they propose by this
bill. They have found an ally in Mr.. Beltz-
hoover from Pennsylvania, and, as | am told,
in Mr.. Van Heusen, ST., who resides at AL
bany, aiming great influence with certain
men otFDroIninence in New York CITY. To
what extent this influence is effective is not
known, but il is openly claimed as consider
able, and | believe it essential to proper
knowledge of all the facts and Just dealing
that this publication be made"

PARIS, Jan. 30.-Follieres was seized with

the sitting was suspended. After the session
Follieres tainted, and congestion OF the brain
is feared. The debate was adjourned until
Thursday.
Previous to the illness of Follieres Rem

Floquet's proposition, also the governments
measure, declaring that such attacks on lib
erty would not be approved by vote of the
whole people.
a member of the Chamber shouted, you
are an Orleanist.'
Renault replied that since the Count de
Paris has gone to Frohsdorf, the orleanist
party had died. The excitement was increased
by Renault pointing to the dilemma which
would arise should a congress OF the two
houses despite the proposed law, nominate a
Prince as President of the republic. Renault
said that he admitted the governments right
of defense, but not persecution.
Follieres said if the web of intrigue. which
at least by silence encouraged the princes,
had not been woven around government
representatives the question of rendering
the security of the country complete would
still have arisen, but, as matter of fact,
advantage had been taken of the liberty en-
Joyed under the republic to attack the gov
ernment, which was founded on national
sovereignty, and must depend upon itself for
its preservation.

Both Houses Seemingly Trying How Not to
Do 1t.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON Jan. 30.-Very little progress
has been made by either house to-day in the
tariff revison-which suggests possibility
that the energy and enterprise displayed
yesterday were more spasmodic than real
and abiding, and that the probability of ulti-
mate action is growing less day by day.
Members of both houses are beginning to
discuss the subject of an extra session. In
the event of a failure to pass a tariff bill in
this Congress, prominent members have ex
pressed their belief the President will call an
extra session. A Republican congressman
quotes the President as saying that in his
message he committed himself to tariff re-
leves the country needs and de-
mands this legislation, and should
this Congress fail to meet this demand, he
(the President) would feel to be his duty
to convene the next Congress in extra session
for the express purpose of revising the tariff.
The Democrats take no stock in the extra
session talk.
Democratic sena tor, who represents the
views and opinions of his side, said that
talk of an extra session is all stuff and nom
sense started to frighten the Democrats into
acquiescing in the passage of such a tariff
bill as the Republicans want. The Presi-
ident would not be justified in calling an ex-
ira session for the purpose of tariff legisla-
ton. That is not one of the questions which,
undar tho constitution would warranf hin,
in convenng Congress. 1t is a subject for
Congress to dispose of in its own time
There will not be any extra session."
At this writing, it may be said, there are
arguments and opinions pro and con.

The Mexican Treaty.

Washington Special.
There is some delay in the matter of the
proposed Mexican treaty. The State Depart
ment has not yet sent it to Congress, but it
is ascertained that so many objections have
been made to it on the part of certain influ-
ential senators that the inquiry has been
made whether Mexico would recede from
her demands. 1t is ascertained that Mexico
will not make any further concessions, and
that the treaty must stand or fall as it is. A
number of the business enterprises i'll which
Americans are engaged are said to be depend
ent upon this treaty, and General Grant has
gone to New York to promote it,

CONTESTED ELECTIONS.
The Usual Expensive Farce of Paying q
Double Set of Men.


Double Set of Men.
Washington Star.
The press dispatches from Washington
have announced that several cases of contests
for seats in the House are to be settled, be-
fore Congress adjourns, by voting out the in
cumbents and voting in the contestants.
Without any reference to the merits of these
cases whatever the fact that they are held in
reserve to be determined at the very close of
Congress will serve to point out one of the
abuses that has grown up in connection with
the settlement of contested cases. 1t has
been a custom with both political parties to
hold contests which were too weak to stand
upon their own merits until toward the end
of Congress, and then vote in the adherent
of the majority The records of the closing
days of past Congresses will prove this The
change in seats seems to be brought about by
some tacit agreement or arrangement The
contestant, belonging to the majority, comes
in, serves few days and draws two years,
pay, $4,000. The contestee belonging to
the minority, serves out nearly all of his
term and also gets two years, pay. This ar
rangement satisfies the man belonging to
the majority, and usually is not displeasng
to the minority man, who loses only few
days of his term, but gets his pay. In this
way the people are made to pay double for
congressional representation OF certain dis
tricts, when in justice they should be taxed
with but one congressmans salary. If con-
tested cases must be postponed until the
closing days of Congress, the people ought
not to be made to pay for the delay in decd-
ing them. Several cases are set down for
disposition in this manner during the re-
manning few days of Congress The contest
ants who have deem asking for hearing for
nearly two years will receive from their par
ty majority balm that will heal all past
suspense and disappointment. Every one

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WAsHTNGroN, Jan. 30.-Ex-Senator Nc
Donald, usually one of the most communica-
tive of men, and notably easy of approach,
has lately grown decidedly suspicious of re-
porters, and an intimate friend of the ex-
Senator thus explains the marked change in
this respect. Mr.. Mcdonald is openly and
confessedly candidate for the presidency,
and his friends have taken him formally
into training. He is having a new expert
ence, and do not think he more than half
enjoys the part he is playing. He is a bluff,
hearty man of positive character, and every
body who knows him likes him, and
although not addicted to garrulity in
the slightest degree, he is free to
express opinions when asked to do so. In
all his public career, and he has been in
active politics for thirty-fve years, he has
never been ridiculed until within the past
few months 1 think the treatment he is
receiving from portion of the press from
the East gravels him. He is entirely massive
in his mental and physical makeup and the
small shot his enemies are firing at him an
noys him beyond measure. His guns are
loaded for bear, and he cannot waste am
muntion on small game. His friends have
convinced him that he must not be inter
viewed by any one. For the preeent he is
