THE TARIFF LEGISLATION.

Industrious Work on the Bills Now Pend
ing in Both Houses.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-When the Senate
adjourned, at 10 o'clock tonight, it had pass
ed over about half of the schedules proper,
though hardly half of the bill. The cotton
and the wooden schedules, which still remain
to be handled, probably will provoke more
discussion than any of the others; If per-
severance and industry can accomplish the
passage of the BILL the Republicans may ex-
pect TO secure it, though the strain OF ten and
twelve hours every day is beginning to tell
the physique of several of the
older Senators. The Republicans are at
all events making good record, and are
daily unmaskng Democratic pretenses and
showing up Democratic Inconsistency, as was
instanced to-day, when the item OF fresh
beef, upon which the commission proposed
duty of about 20 per cent, was reached in
the provision schedule. The Democrats at
once, and particularly the Southern senator's,
were anxious to place it upon the free list
under the plausible pretext of cheapening
to the masses of the country one of the neces-
saries of life. The hollowness of the plea
was at once shown by Mr.. Conger and
other Republicans, from the fact that this
small protection would simply give the mar
ket in beef to the farmers in the Northern
States along the border, instead OF to the
Canadians, while if the duty were retained it
would not reduce the price one iota. The
Democratic excuse for free trade in this par
ticular and this discrimination against our
Northern farmers certainly comes with bad
grace when the Democrats are insisting upon
a protection OF from 100 to 100 per cent. upon
the rice grown in the Southern States, and
which forms a staple article of food in every
household in the land.
The House is proceeding under rather diff
ficult circumstances, the Democrats having
it in their power to delay at every turn. An
effort will be made to secure a Republican
quorum on Monday, when it is believed
more rapid progress can be made.
1t is generally conceded, however that the
only way in which the tariff bill can be
passed at this session will be to hurry it
through the Senate and then pass it through
the House under suspension of the rules.

AN ENORMOUS SUSPENSION
The Union Iron and Steel Works MOrtgageC
for 81 200, 900, and Work Suspended.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-The Union Iron and
Griffin, a mortgage for 81, 600 900, payable in
ten years with interest at per cent per
annum, subject to mortgage for $500,0
to the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
Company. The company gives as security
all of its property of every description This
doubtless led to the rumor on the street this
morning that the company had
failed. The officers were seen, but
declined to affirm or deny the rumor
till this evening, when A B. Stone, president
of the company, made the following state
ment: 1--WE may have to suspend and place
the company in the hands of a receiver for
the best interests of all. Circumstance which
brought it about are the large amount of ma
terial on hand, the decline in price OF
rails, and more than all, the
unreasonabeness of men who are
disposed to control capital, and demand 80
to 40 per cent. more for their work than
in advance of definite action to make any
statement as to the assets and liabilities.
The following figures are the most reliable OBJ
tanned: Value of plant and stock, S., 900 900;
capital stock, 100000. The annual state
ment last year showed surplus OF 5000 900,
estimated at S1,0OO,0O0 The controlling
interest is held by A. B. Stone,
of this city, and Amassa Stone,
of Cleveland, and A. L. Griffin, TO
whom 100000 mortgage was made this
afternoon. The men were informed that the
mill would be closed tomorrow, and
1000 men are thrown out of employment,
many of them with no money ahead,
as they have been on strike recently. 1t
is probable that receiver will be applied
for tomorrow. The company has no paper
with the bank, and it is not believed that the
failure will embarrass any one else. Amassa
Stone is the heaviest creditor.

THE CHICAGO AIR LINE.
All Troubles Adjusted, and the L., n. A. & C.
Will Take Control at Once.

LOUISVILLE, Feb. IA full and final settle
ment has been effected by the Louisville,
New Albany & Chicago Railroad Company,
with the Crawford syndicate, by which the
latter to-day gave formal possession OF 1853
miles of new road to the former. This new
road extends from indianapolis to Chicago,
is an air line, and was built by Henry
Crawford for the Louisville. New ALBANY
q Chicago Company. The terms on which the
company accented the work are entirely salts
factory to Vice PRECEDENT Standiford and his
associates, who regard this acquisition to their
thriving system as OF the utmost Importance
Trains will be placed on the line at once, the
company having secured additional rolling
stock in anticipation of the new acquisition
The road will be known as the indianapolis
division of the Louisville, New Albany
and Chicago, is thirty miles shorter than any
other now existing between indianapolis and
Chicago, and goes through richer country
The management is much elated and looks
forward to increased value in their property
because of the splendid prospects of the new
line,

NEW GOLD FIELDS.
Promising Discoveries Reported frOr
Alaska.

Promising Discoveries Reported from
Washington Special.
Private dispatches have been received here
of a reliable character with reference to the
nature OF the gold deposits in Alaska. Much
discredit has been thrown over the reports of
gold discovered in our Northwestern territory
from time to time, until tine impression has
become pretty general that rs a gold field
Mr.. Stewards purchase was not particularly
valuable. The information alluded to is of such
character that as soon as it becomes known
it will result in such a rush to the gold fields
as has not been seen since the days of 40 1t
is stated that quartz vein which will yield
from So to IS net 10 the ton has been dscov-
cred on the mainland in southern Alaska,
200 feet in width. Many others equally rich
in the same district are reported and prep
aratlOns are being made quietly, it is said,
by a combination of New York and San
Francisco capitalists to start early in the
spring with mills and machinery to take po-
session of the mines and mill the quartz.
Plenty of coal and timber are reported at no
great distance from the mines, so that the
fuel supply will be abundant. Two gentle
men in conversation on this subject to-day
said there would be 10, 600 men from Nevada
and California on their way to Alaska with
in three months, and that before a year the
mining population of the Pacific Slope would
be thoroughly drained of all surplus labor to
supply the new field, unless some extraordi-
nary excitement should be created by new
discoveries near home.

THE NAVAL ACADEMY.
The Secretary of the Navy VIII Sustain the
Superintendent.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Secretary Chandler
expresses his opinion of the recent troubles
at Annapolis as follows The disturbances
and INSTRUMENTATION at Annapolis will
doubtless subside if the superintendent is
allowed to work out a result without
interference, but if the cadets are en-
couraged to persist by their parents
and friends, the dismissal of forty or
fifty may result. The great difficulty in the
management of the academy is that the boys
and their relatives fail to realize that the
school is not an ordinary seminary of learn
ing where students pay fer the education
which they receive but is an institution of
military discipline, where boys have their
expenses paid by the United States, in order
that they may be thoroughly educated and
trained to life of self-control,
and fitted for the restraints and
duties of a military profession. If the boys
expect the same privileges and the easy life
which they may have in an ordinary
academy. they should resign, and let their
places be filled by young gentlemen who are
willing, unreservedly to commit themselves
to the privations and labors of the academy,
in order that through its discipline as we'll as
instruction they may be educated to COM
mand naval vessels of the United States. So
far as the department now understands the

The Sensation in Montgomery.

Montgomery Special
The news fell like thunder clap spread
ing grief and CONSERVATION everywhere.
Vincent lost most of the States money in
cotton futures. Fred. Wolffes bank alone
bought $4,000 of the exchange on New
York to cover losses in futures. These drafts
were it favor of Fred Wolfe. 1t is thought
he and Wolfe were engaged in joint specu-
lations. He bought large amounts from
other banks. Vincent left a note saying he
will straghten it ont, but nobody believes
he will ever be heard of again, unless the
police get him. People are much
aroused. While they are sorry for his
wife and friends, they are sorrier still for his
bondsmen. No clue is left as to the direction
he took on Monday night. He was not
recognized at the depot, and none of the CON
ductors on Monday nights trains saw him.
He had an annual pass on all the roads, but
did not use it. No one here is suspected Of
having been privy to his transactions He
kept it all to himself, though it is supposed
some of the money was loaned to parties in
New York His clerk knew the money was
missing several months ago, but Vincent
told him he had balance elsewhere He
collected $4,000 on Monday and left it with
his wife, and she paid it over to-day. She
suspected nothing. 1t supposed he took no
money with him.
