Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The official an
nouncement of David Daviss intention to
resign the presidency OF the Senate is a prac-
tical settlement of the question of a special
session. 1t is understood that there will be
no further organization upon the retirement
of the Vice-president, except to elect his
successor. A strong effort will be made to
elect Western man, and Senator Allison
will be pressed for the position. Senator
John Sherman's name has also been prom-
nently mentioned, and Senator Angus
Cameron also has a following. There are
objections to Senator Edmunds on account
of his prejudices; it is feared he will take
too active an interest in legislation to make
an impartial presiding officer. Several of
the Eastern senators would prefer Western
man. The President will send in big batch
of nominations tomorrow, and prodigious
effort will be made to clear the docket of
important nominations and necessary legis-
laton before the close of the week.
To the Western Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 81. 1t is believed the an
nouncement by Judge Davis that he will re-
sign the Office of president of the Senate pro
tenn at noon next Saturday was prompted by
information from President Arthur that he
does notintend to convene the Senate in spec
ial session on the 9TH of March. 1t is understood
the Democrat Senators will offer no opposi-
ton to the prompt election of Republican
Senator as pro tempore Mr.. Anthony, who
filled this position from 1869 to 1878, and who
was the choice of the Republican caucus in
1881, will not be eligible for election to hold
place during the coming recess, as his pres
ent term will expire with the legislative day of
ntil the next meeting of the Senate. Although
no caucus action has yet been taken on the
subject. the Indications are that Mr. Edmunds
will be chosen president pro tenn, and that
other officers will hold their positions until
December

An Unsatisfactory Committee-Democrats
Prepared to Filibuster.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHING TON, Feb. 27.-The constitution of
the tariff conference committee does not
please the large majority of Western Repub-
licans, and threats of bolt are heard. The
objection is urged that there is not a man in
either committee representing Western SEN
timent Mr.. Haskell, of Kansas, is the only
Western man on either end, and he is as
radical as any of the Pennsylvania delega-
ton, almost. Messrs. Kelley, Mckinley and
Randall are high protectionists Senator Nor
rill is the father of the existing tariff law and
a high protectionist, while Senators Sherman
and Aldrich entertain very pronounced
views. The belief is that the conference COM
mittee will report bill based on the House
bill as it came from the ways and means COM
mittee, or else a little joker" of bill, such
as Mr.. Kelly is known to favor, leaving
everything untouched excepting sugar, wool
and steel rails, The committee held an in
formal session this evening, bnt made little
progress. Two reports were drawn up, en-
bodying the views indicated above. The
Democrats of the House say they will have
no difficulty in filibustering any bill to
death when the committee reports and
Democratic senators are getting ready to open
their 1oodgates of oratory when the report
reaches that end of the capitol.

AN OPPRESSED MAIDEN.
She Escapes from Her Home and Appeals
to the Court.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 27.-Several days
since girl named Mary Critener was
brought here against her WILL from Taylors-
vile, Ind. by parties who proposed placing
her in the Convent of the Good Shep-
herd At the threshold of the convent the
girl escaped from the carriage and
sought the protection of a policeman.
who she accompanied to the Central
Station. On arriving at the station
she found the men ahead of her who brought
her to the city, they having gone there to
file complaint against her and have her ar
rested. The men said this girl was in
corrigible, and they wanted to place her in
a convent for the purpose of reformation.
One of the men, named Frank Wright sud
denly complained of feeling faint and left
the room for the fresh air, but did not
come back, his companion following
The girl begged to be allowed to remain at
the station instead OF going to the convent,
and the officers took her to the Home of the
Friendless, where she found proper care.
One of the sisters of the convent made appli-
cation for the girl, but Chief OF Police Taylor
and City Judge Thompson declined to give
her up.
LATER. A lady named Mary Nc
said she had been appointed guardian
to the girl; said the latter was inclined to go
to the bad, and wanted to put her in the CON
vent to save her.
A gentleman named Garrison telegraphed
from Taylorsville to do nothing until his
arrival This morning the case was called
in the City Court. and the girl put
on the witness-stand. She said she
had been misused at home, and when she
protested was threatened with the House of
Correction or a nunnery. Under this ILL
treatment she ran away, and took refuge at
the house of Mr.. Garrison. Then Miss Nc.
Cormck went to Columbus, aud there
took out papers of guardianship Mr.. Garri-
son testified that the girl had been mistreated
her spirit would not brook it, and she had
resented it. There had never been a breath
of suspicion upon her character.
Miss Mccormick protested that some
restriction was necessary for the girls good.
The court ruled that no offense
had been committed, and that the girl be
placed in charge of Miss Mccormick
as statutory guardian, which was done.
Much excitement followed as the girl was
compelled by force to accompany Miss Nc
Cormick, sympathizing gentlemen in the
crowd appealed to Mayor Kinney and Henry
Clay, and those gentlemen went before the
court and succeeding in having the late
order set aside, leaving the case
where it began. The girl returned
to the Home of the Friend
less, where she will remain
1t is supposed the guardian will swear
out a writ of habeas corpus tomorrow
There is much feeling in favor of Miss Critic
is being oppressed. An immense crowd
filled the courtroom during the hearing, and
expressed satisfaction at the reversal of the
decision Of the court.

BosToN. Mass, Feb. 27.-Samuel Felker,
who visited Langdon W. Moore, the burglar
and counterfeiter, at the State prison,

Report of the Secretary of State on Mr.. Par
tridees Action.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-President Arthur
to-day transmitted to the Senate a report
from the Secretary of State in response to
Mr.. Van Wyck's resolution, inquiring
whether the minister of the United States
had been instructed to invite or accept the
mediation of European powers in settlement
OF the difficulties between Chilli and Peru.
The Secretary says he received a dispatch
from Mr.. Partridge saying that the represen-
tatives of Great Britain, France, Italy and
the United States Germany declining taking
any part) considered the subject of the above
n.med difficulties at an informal meeting at
Mr. Partridge's house, and concluded that
each should declare to his government his
belief that the only way of bringing about a
cessation of hostilities would be an agree
nlent to address representation to the Chilian
government expressing a wish to see peace
made on the basis of the cession of Tarapaca.
The ministers further declared that they
considered it their duty to urge their re-
srective governments to take the step indi.
Gated at once. Upon receipt of this dispatch,
Mir. Partridge was telegraphed by the Secre-
tary OF State in substance that the leave OF
absence he had requested was granted, and
he was expected to return to the United
States by the first steamer. He was further
informed that the action set forth in his dis
patch having been taken by him without au-
thority was disapproved and he was directed
to so inform those of his colleagues who had
acted with him. note was at the same
time sent to the ministers of the United
States in London, Paris and Rome, inform
ing them that Mr.. Partridge had joined with
the representatives of Great Britain, France
and Italy in recommendations to their re-
spective governments to intervene in the
Chili-Peru difficulty, and instructing them
to inform the governments to which they are
respectively attached that this action was
taken by Mr.. Partridge without authority,
and has not been approved.
