Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The aggressive
front maintained by the Southern leaders on
this question throughout the tariff discus
sion has not been without its effect, and
they are gradually bringing Northern and
Western Democrats around to their way of
thinking In the beginning of the discus
sion the Democrats were all at sea, but now,
with the exception of devoted band of pro-
tectionists, not numbering over dozen or
fifteen, under the leadership OF Mr.. Randall,
the Bourbons stand squarely on the tariff
for-revenue platform OF 1880 Mr.. Carlisle
and his following openly say they invite
the issue, and court the fullest and freest
discussion of the question. The protection
lists are of the same way of thinking They,
too, want the question left open.
The majority in the House still insists that
tits exceedingly anxious to pass a tariff bill,
but the chances of one getting through are
hourly diminishing. The Democrats say
they are unalterably opposed to either Of the
pending measures, which, they insist, are
loaded down with 'enormities."
They declare for good BILL
and in the same breath say it is
impossible to perfect a good bill
in time for action at this session. There is
yet small chance of tariff revision, but as
only twelve days remain for the considera-
ton of several appropriation bills, two or
three District bills, and other absolutely
necessary legislation, the chance is small in
deed.
The Senate has determined to sit out the
debate of its bill tomorrow and come to a
vote. The friends of the tariff revision can
then test their strength in the House by an
attempt to choke off discussion on its bill
and pass it.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The Democrats as
sert and claim to be able to prove that the
metal schedule in the House and Senate
bills has been fixed up in the in
terest of the Bessemer Steel Com
pany, an organization which has
exclusive control of the Bessemer steel
patents, and farms them out to mills. They
give this as the main reason why they will
oppose the passage of the bills. A dinner was
given might by Representative Robeson
attended by Senators Allison, Hale, Frye
Sherman Conger, Ingalls,, Speaker Keifer
and Representa- ives Reed, Hiscock, Robin
son of Massachusetts,, Kelley and Mckinley.
The senators pledged the members to do all
in their power to bring the Senate
tariff bill to a vote before adjournment
tomorrow. The representatives promised to
use their influence to secure the passage, un-
der suspension of the rules of revenue bill
which will be presented by the ways and
means committee tomorrow The bill is the
same as the one to which the Senate attached
the tariff bill with the alterations made by
the Senate to the revenue portion. It is q

They appear to have no cearlydefined idea

are non-committal although Mr.. Randall
does not seem to be at all popular with the

Particulars of the Murder of DIR. Glenn, in
California,

patch says: Heron Miller, the man who MUIR
dered Dr. Glenn, is about fifty-five years old
and married. He was addicted to intemper-
ance, which was the cause of his discharge.
Miller has known Glenn intimately for
many years. Glenn started HIM In business,
but through dissipation Miller was unsuc-
cessful, and finally forced to accept mental
situation since at a nominal salary Glenn
found him in this plight and gave him situ-
ton as-book-keeper. Monday Glenn found
him intoxicated When reprimanded
Miller applied very insulting Ian
guage to his benefactor who at once
discharged him. Since his discharge Miller
has been hanging around Jacinto, under the
pretext of hunting. 1t is now thought he
was only waiting his opportunity to execute
his terrible design. After surrendering, Mil
Ter was taken to Colusa and jailed.
Public indignation is intense at the Willows,
and it is thought the prisoner would
have been lynched had he been placed
in custody there While on the way to
Jail Miller seemed perfectly composed.
No definite cause is known yet for the as
sassination. Miller has been drinking heavily
since he was discharged, but all say he was
perfectly sober when he committed the deed"

Men Praised.
WASHINGTON Feb. II. The Jeanette
court of inquiry reports the following facts
as deemed established by the evidence ad-
duced concerning the circumstances of the
loss of the Jeanette and the death of De
Long and others of her officers and men:
Although the weight of evidence shows that
the Jeanette was not adapted in strength or
model for Arctic exploration, the fact that
an experienced explorer had two cruises in
her in Arctic seas sustains the Judgment and
care shown in her selection. When last pur-
chased she was strengthened and i'm
proved and the condition of the ves-
sci on her departure from San Fran
cisco was good ard satisfactory to her
officers and crew, except that she was I'M
avoidably deeply loaded, defect which cor
rected itself by the consumption of coal,
provisions and stores. The evidence relating
to the management of the Jeanette up to
the time of her loss shows that the chances
OF reaching Wrangle Land were sufficiently
good to justify the commander in attempting
to reach it rather than return to some south
ern port and pass the winter in idleness
Had he done otherwise than he did, he
might fairly have been thought wanting in
the high qualities necessary to an explorer.
Throughout the expedition every opportu-

LOUISVILLE, Feb. 18.-This evening, Dud-

who had been drinking together, got to scuf-
fling with each other in a saloon
during which time Brown had
pistol in his hand. The
pistol was fired taking effect in Jones's fore
head, penetrating the brain and killing him
instantly. Brown made no effort to escape
but quietly surrendered to an officer. All
the witnesses were negroes, who agree that
there was no ill-feeling between the parties
