Small Amount of Called Bonds offered.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The total amount
OF bonds embraced in the 120th call received
at the Treasury Department to date, in re-
sponse to the departments circulars author
izing their prepayment, is $3,064, $50. A
prominent official of the treasury said to-
day, in commenting upon the fact that the
amount of bonds surrendered was SO much
less than the amount that the department
offered to redeem that it indicated either that
the people who complained of scarcity of
money did not hold called bonds, or the peo-
pie who held the bonds were in no great
haste to exchange them for money.

e. Pacific railroad is only paper road, but as
the government has pledged $S,O64 per mile
for the north and south and east and west
lines, in cash. or bonds or customs revenue,
about !, 100 miles in all, and the same for
branch lines running down to the sea or up
into the mountains, it would seem to have
good prospects, provided the company can
buy or build anything with the money and
bonds

The Oueen,s Knee.

Queen is less rapid than the physicians had
reason to expect While the injury to the
knee was by no means serious, it is feared
that it may indirectly affect her accustomed
good health by causing her to lose her daily
outdoor exercise, with which she has been
in the habit of refreshing herself. DIR. Jen-
ner physician in ordinary to the Queen, di-
rected her to take almost complete rest as
the best means of preventing the swelling
of the injured part, and of reducing the
pain. This course will, it is believed, soon
reduce the slight Inflammation and give Her
Majesty the full use of her limb

Itaiy,s Bellieerent Tone.

ROME, April 4.-The story of triple de-
fensive alliance between Germany, Austria
and Italy against France, is made the occa-
sion, by the press OF Italy, for many anti
French articles. Liberia sets forth that if the
republic assumes arrogant airs in its dealings
with other countries of Europe, she will find
herself confronted with the unpleasant spec
tacle of several powers united for mutual de-
fense. The Journal de Rome (clerical) goes
still further, and says: From the Baltic to
Sicily the French government has none but
enemies, who are ready to attack her if she
but moves a finger She is at the mercy of
her enemies if there is the slightest casus
belli, and Italy will not fail, when the chief
of the alliance gives the smallest sign to find
such cause, on a few minutes notice.

Hls Prohable Movements.

The new Postmaster-general will probably
reach indianapolis on Saturday night. The
following special telegram to the Journal
concerning his movements was received last
night:
EVANSVILLE, April 4.-Judge Walter @.
Gresham, of the United States District Court
for this State, received official notification by
wire this afternoon from Secretary of State
Frelinghuysen of his appointment as Post
master-general by the President. He has
telegraphed that he will accept the office, and
after his court adjourns here, which will be
on Saturday, probably, he will go to Indian
apolis for day or two, and then at once to
Washington. He was serenaded at the st.
George Hotel, tonight, and will be rendered
banquet before he leaves the city. The ap-
pointment judging by the large number of
kilograms that are pouring in from friends of
Judge Gresham all over the country, seems
to meet with universal appreciation.
Judge Gresham was serenaded at the st.
George Hotel at IL o'clock tonight, large
crowd of citizens being present He was in
troduced by Mr.. Daniel Kumler, from the
balcony OF the hotel, and briefly thanked the
people for the compliment. Speeches were
made by Judge Holstein and Hon. j. G.
Shanklin. All the speakers spoke in the
highest terms of Judge Gresham's splendid
record as citizen, soldier and Judge, and
after speeches an informal reception was
held in the parlors of the hotel.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April 4.-The appointment
of Judge Gresham was great surprise to the
cabinet makers on the outside His name
had been scarcely mentioned as possibility,
and in the shuffling of the cards he had been
forgotten entirely, or very nearly SO. When
the announcement was made that the plum
had fallen to Indiana and that the next
Postmaster-general was to be Judge Gresham,
general sigh of relief went up, and every
body wondered why they had not thought of
him before. The Indianians in Washington
seem to be very well pleased with the ap-
pointment. Interviews with General Dudley,
ex-Secretary of State Curry, Judge Hogden,
and perhaps a dozen others, of more
or less prominence, develop a sem
timent of general satisfaction not
unmixed with astonishment that he should
give up a life position for two years in the
cabinet The opinion is freely expressed
that in accepting the Office the thought may
have occurred to him that cabinet position
might not hurt him if he should decide to
enter the senatorial field as candidate for
Voorhees, seat two years hence. Others have
it that he expects to succeed Judge Drum
mond as Circuit judge, and the President
will reinstate him on the bench with higher
honors than he now holds before the expira-
tion of his term. This talk is, as a matter of
course, the merest gossip and idle conjec-
ture, and it is given merely to show how
tongues are waggng and what they are wag-
ging about. If the kilograms the correspond
ents are sending out tonight is any lndica-
ton, the Eastern press will very generally
commend the President on the wisdom of his
appointment
