Clark Mills was born Dec /, 1915, in Onon-
dago county, N. Y. After the death of his
parents he went South, and followed the
trade of plasterer, having, however, previ-
ously been a millwright The artistic bent
showed itself at an early period of his life,
and in the year 1916 he obtained recognition
by the purchase of a bust of Calhoun of his
execution by the city of Charleston, which
was placed in the City Hall. The equestrian
statue of Jackson, which was successfully
cast in 1852, and unveiled Jan. 8, 1858, the
anniversary of the battle of New Orleans,
cost him 81 900, for which, however, he was
finally reimbursed by Congress, with
the addition of $4,000, at the
same time giving him COM
mission for colossal equestrian statue
of Washington, for which he was to receive
$50, 000 This was unveiled on the 22d of
February, $50. In 1863 the colossal statue
of Liberty which now crowns the dome of
the Capitol was furnished by him from de-
signs furnished by Crawford. A duplicate
of his Jackson statute was afterward furn-
ished by him to the city of New Orleans
The works above mentioned have been en-
logized and ridiculed in about equal de-
grees.
critic, summing up his artistic claims
says mills was long over-praised to an alb
surd degree; OF late he has been over-cen-
sured. He certainly has will and industry,
ii not rare talent. 1t Is unwise to speak of
him, on one hand, as genius; it is unjust,
on the other, to refer to his statues as pro-
digious jokes on art. He has done well with
his limitations and under his circumstances,
But even his most indiscreet friends would
not now be likely to call him sculptor of
the first or of the second rank

THE SHIPPING BILL.
Its Passage Regarded with Much Satisfac-

Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal

Its Passage Regarded with Much Satisfac-
ton by Republican Congressman.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WAsuNeToN, Jan. I2.--The passage ., It'd
shipping bill by the House to-day is regarded
with much satisfaction by the Republicans,
who consider it the first step toward re-
esta blishing the position on the seas once
enjoyed by the merchant marine of this
country. Governor Dingley, the author of
the bill, said to your correspondent tonight:
I'VE have accomplished all that we started
out to procure. The bill is addressed strictly
to the register of ships and removing the
burdens upon and determinations against
American ships which have grown up
in the past twenty years. When it is found
that American ships can be sailed as cheaply
as English ships, there will be demand for
them, and then it will be the duty of Con-
gress by subsequent legislation to place it in
the power of our shipbuilders to obtain their
materials as cheaply as do those upon the
Clyde" Representative Hill, Assistant
Secretary of State, who, from his residence
abroad in the diplomatic service is thorough
ly familiar with the shipping laws of other
nations remarked to-day: II consider this
bill from a commercial point of view the
most important one that has been passed
by Congress in the past fifty years."

cars down an eight-foot embankment
and setting them on fire, complete
ly destroying them. The accident was

sengers were more or less hurt-two proba-
bly, fatally. A surgeon was sent from here on
a special train this morning, and the wound
ed provided for at the Olmstead Hotel. The
following is list of the wounded: A. p

Senate Executive Session.

WASHINGTON Jan. 12-In the executive
session of the Senate, the subject under con-
sideration was the treaty with Mexico re-
Gently signed by Secretary Frelinghuysen,
which provides for a retrial by new COM
mission of the We'll and La Abra claims
against Mexico. The former commission
made an award upon these claims by which
the Mexican government was adjudged
to pay upon the two claims an aggregate of
$1,250,0O0 payments to be made in
installments through the State Department
at Washington After one payment had
been made the Mexican government pro-
tested against any further payments being
made on the ground that the claims were
fraudulent. After investigation the State
Department becam satisfied that such was
the case and declined to make further pay
ment until the matter could be passed upon
by Congress.
In the discussion to-day Senators Vest and
Morgan defended the former award and op-
posed the treaty which proposes to set it
aside. The matter will be taken up again at
the next executive session.

A Correction,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12,-By an error in the
transmission of the civil service bill on the
night it passed the Senate, the clause was re-
tanned which provided lin the original billy,
that promotions shall be from the lower
grades to higher on basis of merit and
competition" This clause was stricken out
by the Senate on motion of Mr.. Brown on
the preceding day. As then stated in the
press reports the bill as it passed the House
and Senate is identical with the bill passed
by the Senate.
The argumentative preamble of the
original bill which, although stricken out
during the consideration of the measure in
the Senate, enormously prefaced the copy of
the bill telegraphed to newspapers.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12-With all their
clamor for tariff revision and tax reduction,
the opinion seems to be gaining ground that
the Democrats do not really intend to per-
init the passage of the tariff bill at this ses-
sion if they can, without seeming to do So
prevent it by diliatory tactics. After two
days discussion the Senate has only sue
ceeded in getting through three pages of the
fifty which compose this volumnious BILL
prominent Democrat was overheard
to say, with some show of disgust, to-day:
THE Democrats in Congress are already
beginning to ruin the chances of the party
in 1884. They have loaded themselves with
Fitz John Porter, and before they get
through he session, they viii probably have
to shoulder the responsibility for non-actiou
or the tariff There are many congressman
who think that IN the event OF a failure 70
enact tariff legislation at this session,
President Arthur will call the next Congress
together before Its regular term of meeting,
that it may deal with the subject. When
the Democrats with the large majority they
will have in the next Congress, find them
selves burdened with the direct responsibility
for legislation, they will have far more
trouble in harmonizing on the tariff than
the Republicans have had and it is thought
in some quarters, that the President would
be entirely willing to give them an early
start IN entering upon their internal quarrel
over that question.
