ton in Indianapolis.

Postmaster-ge general Gresham, who arrived in
the city on Tuesday, left last night for Chicago.
Mr.. Gresham was interviewed yesterday by q
Journal reporter, and when asked his opinion
in regard to the movement for having the next
Republican national convention held at indian
apois said: "The matter is one that L know
nothing about. Is any earnest effort being made
to have 1t held here2"
When told that the people were very much in
earnest about the matter and, in answer to an
other question to the number OF persons
that could be provided with accommodations,
that it was claimed that all the visitors would
be amply cared for, Mr.. Gresham said "Well, L
see no reason why Indianapolis cannot get the
convention"
When asked what would probably be the re-
suit of the fight against the lottery companies,
he replied: "The matter is one which it would
be improper for me TO talk about: The question
is vet to be passed upon, and it is one of the
things that it would hardly be proper for me to

Peru, also spent yesterday in the city, having
recently returned from six months sojourn in
Dakota, He leaves this morning for Peru, and
will go to Washington within the next ten days.
He expressed himself to journal reporter as
heartily in accord with the citizens of the State
in the effort for Indianapolis the fort h.

All Important Roads of the Country Running
Trains by Standard Time.
On Sunday next the Michigan Central road,
which has been the greatest stickler as TO
adoptlSg standard time for the movement of
their trains, wheels into line. The change has
made absolutely no trouble, except in places
where public clocks ave been continued In the
old way. Wherever the city clocks were
changed without fuss things went on smoothly,
and nobody knows the difference except by the
new convenience. In Louisville somebody
moved the town clock hands without authority,
but 1t was precisely we'll that way as any,
unless because of the absence OF norioe. and
people in some other cities wish that The plan
had been extended. Chicago has had con fusion
because one two of the railroads did not
change, but all now fan into line. Cincinnati
goes on in the old way, and Will until aldermen
exchange cumming and having for common
sense. The Detroit common council will proba-
oily voee for the order of tAings before
many days. and 30 will the Pttsbnrg fathers,
although in the town last named there is really
question to whether the eastern or CEN
trail standard should be adopted. But there
is no help for it; towns which insist upon run
ming local time must move back from the rail
roads.

President Mackey, of the Indianapolis & Ev-

une-News reporter that the blockade of the
straightline would be removed very soon-at
any moment, in fact. He also reported that the
B. & o. had transferred a lot OF poles and were
now working south of Oakland, aud that the
balance OF the poles would be shipped around
by the L, & T. Il. to Evansville, in order to build
from that end. BY the by. prominent railroad

taken in the project is said to have been one of
the reasons that the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
people gave him the cold shoulder at their re-
cent election.
