BUSINESS DIFFICULTIES.
The Comparison Shows Large Increase il
Number and Liabilities.

The Comparison Shows a Large Increase in
Number and Liabilities.
New York, June 29.-Approximate figures
of the business failures over the entire coun-
try, for the half year ending to-day, COM
piled by R. G. Dun & Co., indicate a marked
increase in their number and the extent of
liabilities compared with the correspond
ing period of the two years previous. For
the first six months of 1881 the failures were
1862; the first six months of 1882, 3, ,597; the
first half of 1888, 4637 The liabilities show
greater increase. In 1881 the liabilities of
the first six months were $40, ,0O0 600; in 1882,
$5000 900; the first six months of 1888 $780,
900 600.
The increase in liabilities the last half year
is attributable, largely, 70 speculative fail
ures in the West but even deducting the in
debtedness springing from this cause, the in
crease in failures and liabilities is very
marked. 1t is noticeable, however. that dur
ing the second quarter of the year the mer-
camille disasters were much less than in the
first quarter, in which the bulk OF the in
crease occurs, so that it is possible the worst
part of the year has been got over Reports
as to the business outlook from ninety-seven
trade centers indicate more hopeful feeling
as to the future.

able for the improvement of the Wabash
river 500, 600, of which one-half will be used
below Vincennes, and the other half from
ViEcennes to Lafayette. To improve White
river the balance is $4,000, and for the work
in the only harbor of the State, Michigan
City, the sum is s., 900, which will be spent
on the inner harbor.
The time and money is now at hand
when few postal routes deemed necessary
in Indiana for better postal communication
can be established. This comprises all the
disbursements to be made in Indiana, the
salaries of the government officials alone ex-
cepted. If the list is not so large as can be
desired, it must be remembered that there is
still luck in the future, and, perhaps in
the next fiscal year a greater prize will be
drawn.

General Steinmetz Testifies to Charges for
Illegal Work Paid by Hill.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-The Hill inyesti-
gaticn was resumed this morning, with Cen
ersl Steinmetz as witness in the Bartlett,
Re- bins, & Co. case. He testified II the
latf1r firm charged $4,000 fer extra work
upon the New York postoffice. He read from
itefilzed bills and pointed out what he al
leged to be unauthorized and illegal charges.
In one instance witness said extra was
charged when Mullett simply ordered the
firm to repair an imperfection in their work.
fih irman New inquired: "What has all
thit 10 10 with Hill?'
Coleman replied: Simply this; we are 60
ing over these items to show that no part of
thi' s3T, 00o charged for extra work was ever
au lriled, and Hill knew it when he paid
thy bills"
Witness stated that Bartlett, Robbins &
Col stipulated under their contract to furnish
ireA screens at price per pound, whereas
thfy charged by the lineal foot, and were so
paid by Hill, by which he greatly increased
ths compensation of the firm to the CORE
spending loss OF the government. Ad-

HARMONY WANTED.
Efforts of the Democratic Leaders to Organ
ize Success for Next Year.

Efforts of the Democratic Leaders to Organ
ize Success for Next Year.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, June 29-During the past
week there have been several important con-
ferences of Democratic senators in this city
and New York. The Democratic leaders
recognize this as a critical period for the
party, and they are struggling to give it a
start that will carry it through 1884 without
wrecking. The tone of discussion in these
conferences has been strongly adverse to the
protection platform advocated by the Sam.
Randall wing of the party, and definite pro-
gramme antagonistic to the Pennsylvania
candidate for Speaker has been agreed upon.
The senator's do not want it understood that
they propose to dictate the organization of
the next House, but that is precisely what
they are after, sugar-coat the pill as they
may to conceal the purpose of its
operations. Senator Beck, the free-trade
leader of the Senate, has been exceedingly
active in working up this movement, which
presumably is IN favor of Mr. Carlisle, al
though it is claimed that the object is to lay
down policy and not to favor or defeat in
dlfluuulS. MI DeCk anu his COIledgu6S rec
ognize the fact that unless they can succeed
in harmonizng their party upon common
platform before next winter their chances
of success In 1884 will dwindle into insig-
niticance, and it is to Uhatend they are labor
ing. great majority of the Democratic
senators lean strongly toward free trade.
RandalPs election to the speakership would
render concert of action between the Demo
Gratis of the House and Senate impossi-
BILE. A failure of the two bodies to
act would tear the party to pieces and ruin
the prospects of Democratic success next
year. long keynote stump-speech from
Senator Beck, in the form of an interview on
the situation, is being telegraphcd to the Lou
isville Courier-Journal and Cincinnati News
Journal to-n night In this interview tho Sem
ator says: "All other questions are by COM
mon conset of both parties subordinate to
this overshadowing issue-the tariff 1 con-
fidently expect the House will not organize in
direct antagonism to the well-known views
of the Democratic senators, and very large
element in the House on this question, and
in support of Mr.. Sherman and his allies. 1t
will organize so that we can act in harmony
during the next session of Congress, and en-
ter upon the contest of 1884 with the Demo
Gratis of both Houses in full accord"

THE REVENUE DISTRICTS.
The Original Order of Consolidation Slightly
Amended.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The President to-
day made several notifications in the recent
executive order relating to the consolidation
of internal revenue districts In the original
order the districts of Montana, Idaho and
Utah were consolidated, and Avando ]. Hol-
lister collector of the present Utah district,
designated as collector. This was changed
by the designation of Thomas p Fuller, col
lector of the present Montana district, as col
lector of the new district, vice Hollister
dropped. The change was made because of
the greater collections in the Montana dis
trict. The most important change, however,
was in Kentucky, resulting in the retention
of one more district in that State than was
allowed in the original order Under the
new order of things the present Sixth dis
trict will be retained, with John w. Finnell
as collector, and headquarters probably at
Coyington. All counties in the present
