River Improvement.

River Improvements
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-There were no wit
nesses before the special committee on i'm
provement of the Mississippi river to-day,
but Representative Ellis put in the following
dispatch in regard to the charge of bribery:
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 25.
E. John Ellis-I am not in a condition to par
tlcipate in any sort of excitement. l will say,
however, that COwden is little off to Cap
tain Eads or myself. j. II. BALDWIN
The charges came from Captain Cowden,
who has been before the committee several
days in advocacy of his outlet system; he
had said to Ellis that Baldwin told him that
he baldwin, had been approached by Eads
in the interest of the river commission, and
told him that he should have a slice of $780,
900 to be allotted for Improvement of the
river at Plum Point Beach, if he would keep
his mouth shut Ellis at once telegraphed
Baldwin the substance of the statement made
by Cowden, and in response read the above
dispatch. The committee regard the matter
in the light OF hearsay, and not as evidence.

PILOTS, SIGNALS.
The Rule Changed and the Preference Given
Ascending Steamers.


Ascending Steamers.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-At the meeting, to-
day, of the supervising inspectors of steam
boats, the committee on pilot rules for
Western rivers, having hhd under consid-
Grafton the petition of 400 steamboat pilots
on the Ohio, Mississippi and other Western
rivers, asking for change in the passing sig
nails SO as to give the ascending steamer the
right to make the first signal for passing,
recommended the repeal OF rule No 1, and
the adoption of the following:
when steamers are approaching each
other from opposite directions, the signals
for passing shall be one blast of the whistle
to pass to the right and two blasts to pass to
the left The pilot on the ascending steamer
shall be the first to indicate the side on
which he desires to pass, but if the pilot on
the descending steamer shall deem it dam
gerous to take the side indicated by the pilot
on the ascending steamer he shall at once
indicate with his steam whistle the
side on which he desires to
pass, when the pilot on the ascending
vessel shall govern himself accordingly,
but in no case shall pilots on steamers at
tempt to pass each other until there has
been a thorough understanding as to which
side each shall take. Their signals for pas
sing must be made, answered and under
stood before the steamers have approached
within distance of 800 yards of each other"
The recommendation was adopted by the
board, and as it has been approved by the
Secretary of the Treasury, will become the
rule governing pilots on Western rivers.

S. w. Dorsey's Connection with the Routes
The Judges Temper.


The Judges Temper.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-A E. Boone was
called in the star-route trial. He said he had
conversation with Miner Stephen Dorsey
and perhaps John Dorsey. In conversation
with Stephen he recommended Moore
Miner called at the witness's office next day
and saw Moore Moore insisted on a salary
of $3.50 per month which Miner agreed to
allow. After Moore left the city he called
Miners attention to the fact that a check
had not been sent Moore's wife, according to
promise. He also saw Stephen Dorsey, who
promptly sent the check upon Boone's
request. In conversation with Stephen w.
Dorsey in November, 1877, Dorsey produced
a letter from Peck desiring him to secure an
experienced man to get up bids for the next
letting. He offered witness the position, but
the latter declined TO accept the salary, de-
manding an interest OH the business, which
Dorsey finally agreed to give him.
The witness was asked who received the
proposals when they were returned, but OBJ
lection was made, and another discussion
followed. Mr.. Bliss said Mr.. Ingersol was
right in the statement that the government
assumed that Stephen w. Dorsey was one of
the concern. In point of fact, he sent out
the proposals and received them.
The court allowed the question. The wit
ness said the packages were returned to him
through Stephen w. Dorsey. Three post
masters responded-the postmasters at Little
Rock, Hot Springs, and Helena. The pro-
posals were used in bidding at the letting
Mr.. Bliss read letter bearing the follow
ing date lines
"UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER
WASHINGTON, ID. O.. Dec. 8, 1878" 5
"Are you sure it was United States Senate
Chamber " said Ingersoll, with savage EN-
phass upon the quoted words. (Then, as the
court raped for orderl "oh, only wanted
that portion emphasized properly"
Mr.. Merrick Immediately presented an
other letter to the witness and inquired:
The Stephen w. Dorsey who signed that
was a United States senator, was he not?'
Answer-Yes, sir.
The letters were then offered in evidence as

The Delayed Census Reports

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The work of COLA
ting and preparing the result of the census
for publication is in such a backward and
confused condition that it is not likely the
pending census deficiency bill will be recon-
mended for passage until substantial assur-
ances are furnished that the proposed APP
preparation will be employed to produce
clearly defined results and bring the work
speedily to close. Secretary Teller
contemplates recalling ex-Superintendent
Walker to complete the work, his successor
being prostrated by sickness. Specialists
identified with the census, it seems, have
been endeavoring to have treatises upon

Red Clouds Missing Money.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The claim OF Red
Cloud, presented in the Indian Bureau, is for
ponies seized from Indians and sold by Gen
eral Crook in 1876. The amount realized,
$4,000, was to have been applied to the pur-
chase of cows for the benefit of the Indians,
but Red Cloud asserts that this was not done,
and partial search of the records of the In
dian Bureau does not show that any return
was ever made of the money. The persons
who made the sale will be called upon for an
explanation if further search does not reveal
q satisfactory account of the transaction.

franchise as England and Scotland,
said he believed there was only

could hope to settle the Irish question,
and that was by making Ireland one coun-
try with England and Scotland, This remark
was received with applause. He further said
that the only way to meet homo rule and
dissolution of the union was by treating the
Irish people as we would treat ourselves,
which was greeted with renewed applause.

No Hope for the whisky Bill.

Bpecial TO the IndIanapoHs JOnfnaL
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.--The friends of the
whisky bill are quite disheartened at the de-
cisiye vote-5 to by which the House to-
day refused to consider their bill, and have
about given up all hope of passing it at all
this session. The sentiment seems to be
growing in the House that the people must
be relieved, as far as possible, OF the taxes
on necessaries, and that the luxures of life,
such as whisky and tobacco, should be mad e
to bear the chief burden.

The Chicago Board of Trade and the Rail-

CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-Yesterday, on complaint
of member of the Board of Trade that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company had refused
to settle his claim for 81, ,000 damages on de-
layed shipmen is, the board of directors de-
cided to refuse the Pennsylvania Company's
resentative admission to the floor for So
licitation of business. This afternoon the
managers OF all the trunk lines to the East
and Southeast met and passed resolution
not to solicit any business on the board SO
long as the order excluding the Pennsylvania
Company's representative remains in force
the effect of which will be to compel ship
pers to go to railroad offices and contract for
freight instead of making contracts on the
floor of the Exchange. AT subsequent
meeting this evening, however, it was de-
cided to send joint letter of protest to the
board before putting the resolution into
effect

special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Though little time
was given in either House to-day to general
business, the day has not been without sub
stantial results. In the House, the tariff
bill has formally been reached, while on the
Senate side caucus of each party has deter
mined that the tariff bill must be pressed to
passage. If this earnest and good intention
is realized in the subsequent action of the
Senate, the country may take new courage
and indulge in some hope that the much
needed legislation may, after all the discourag-
ing indications of the past week, ultimately
be concluded
Notwithstanding an intmation from sew
eral senators that the Republican conference
this morning was so brief and informal that
nothing of interest transpired rumor is
pretty well authenticated that brief discus
sion of the tariff matters was, in some re-
spects, a decidedly animated one, and that
enough was disclosed of the
temper of the Republican members to
indicate that it may be next to impossible to
hold them to the caucus action. 1t is said
Mr.. Conger directly intimated that he would
not vote for the bill upon its final passage if
lumber is retained upon the free list, and
that Mr.. Allison, in reply, took occasion to
point out the duty of individual senators in
terms which drew from Mr. Logan vigor-
Gus defense of the rights of individual sem
ators to sustain their convictions untram-
meled by party or caucus dictation.
