of the country Indiana is credited with
generals, general staff officers, Is regimental
field and staff officers, and 1O4 company Off
GERS. The non-commissioned officers and
privates number 1,724. This is the strength
of the organized militia. The number of
men available for military duty, unorgan-
ized, is 369,045.
A very interesting document, giving in
brief the legislative work of each senator,
has been prepared by the secretary OF the
Senate. From it gather the following rela-
tive to the senators from Indiana:
During the last Congress Senator Harrison
introduced twenty-five bills during the first
session and four in the second session. Of
these nine ultimately became laws, re-
markably large proportion when we con-
slider the immense amount of legislative
work brought before the last Congress.
Among these laws were the following of
immediate interest to the people of Indiana.
bill directing the Secretary of War to de-
liver to the Society of the Army of the Cum
berland condemned cannon, to aid in the
erection of a statue or monument to James
Abram Garfield providing for the construc-
ton of public building at Fort Wayne
making an appropriation for the purpose of
constructing q road from the city of New
Albany to the national cemetery near that
city; authorizing the Secretary of War to
deliver to the Jeff C. Davis Post, of Vim

condemned cast-iron guns for monumental
purposes; granting to the State of Indiana
the use of tents on the occasion of an en-
campment of State troops in 1882; to make
an appropriation to relieve the sufferers by
the overflow of the Mississippi river and its
tributaries
In the first session Senator Voorhees, intro
duced sixty-four bills, and at the second ses-

CRIMINAL LAW.
Interesting Decision by the United States
Supreme Court.

Interesting Decision by the United States
Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, April IA decision was
rendered by the United States Supreme Court
to-day in the interesting criminal case of
Charles F. Kring, plaintiff in error, against
the State of Missouri, brought here upon a
writ of error from the Supreme Court in that
State Kring the plaintiff in error, on Jan.
4, 1875, shot and killed woman named Dora
Broemeer. At the March term of the St.
Louis Criminal Court, in the same year, he
was indicted for murder in the first degree,
tried, found guilty and sentenced to be hanged.
Upon appeal the judgment of the Criminal
Court was reversed, and new trial ordered.
Two more trials followed, in both of which
the jury failed to agree. Upon the fourth
trial the prisoner made an agreement with
the States attorney to plead guilty of MUIR
der in the second degree upon condition that
the sentence be Imprisonment for period
not longer than ten years. Under this plea,
however, he was sentenced to imprisonment
for twenty-five years. He again appealed,
and the judgment of the lower court was re-
versed by the Supreme Court, and the
cause a second time remanded. Upon
his next trial. the prisoner refused to
withdraw his plea of guilty of murder
plea, whereupon the court ordered a plea of
not guilty to be entered for him, and he was
again tried for murder in the first, found
guilty and sentenced to DEATH He appealed
successively to the Court of Appeals and to
the Supreme Court of the State. In both of
rhese tribunals the judgment and sentence of
the court below were affirmed and sentence
was then ordered to be executed on Feb. q,
1882, but before that time Judge Miller
of the United States Supreme Court
granted writ of error and the
case was brought here for final review
The case is remanded to the Supreme Court
OF Missouri, with directions to reverse the
judgments of the Criminal Court of st. Louis
and for such further proceedings are not
inconsistent with this opinion. Chief-justice
Waite and Justices Bradley, Gray and Math-
ews dissented. This decision rendered by a
bare majority Of one, formally relieves the
prisoner from the sentence of death which
has been hanging over him for the past two
YEARS.

Opening of the Trout Season.

New YORK, April 2.-The trout season
opened to-day, the first of April being Sun
day, and it is estimated that two thousand
anglers went out with rod and hook to beat
the brooks and ponds hereabouts. In Fulton
market the usual opening exhibition was
made by Blackford. The marble slabs were
filled with trout of every description from
almost every quarter. In the tanks were
live trout of all sizes from the microscopic
specimen hatched this morning to the plump
three-year-old. The stands were hung with
wreaths of green intermingled with flowers,
and the background was solid bank Of flow
ers. Among the fish exhibited were trout
from various parts of Long Island, the upper
portion of the state, Lake Superior Califor
MIA and Canada Among those from Califor-
MIA was one sent by the California Fish Com
mission weighing sixteen pounds and sever
al weighing ten pounds each. There was
one beautiful California trout exhibited,
known as the Dolly Warden. There were also
exhibited two hundred live trout in tanks,
and number of young brook trout
Among the young trout were some with
eggs on still, others twenty days old. and
one jar hatched from eggs sent from Ger

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The revolt in the
Treasury Department on the appointment
of Assistant Treasurer Graves, seems 10 have
petered out. He assumed his office to-day,
and received baskets of flowers from over
joyed clerks.
The frst-night production of 1.-THE Snug
glers" was not a smooth performance but
abe critics say it can be made a success and
that it may go. The music is certainly quite
up to the standard. Mrs. Segun- Wallace and
Miss Pauline were received with every mani
festation of favor.
The issue of standard silver dollars from
the mints for the week ended March 81 was
$50, 500. Issue for the corresponding period
last year, 14S000.
The contract for supplying special furni-
ture for the custom house, courthouse and
postoffice at Albany, N. Y, has been awarded
to A. H. Andrews & Co., of Chicago.
Treasurer Wyman and Assistant Treasurer
Graves formally entered upon their new du-
ties this morning.

WASHINGTON, April I'm the Supreme
Court to-day decision was rendered in the
bond case of the mayor and aldermen of the
city of Savannah, Ga, against Eugene Kelly
which was suit to enforce the guarantee of
the city indorsed upon series of bonds of
the Savannah, Albany & Gulf railroad, issued
in 1859. The court holds that the act of the
State Legislature of 1888 authorized the
guarantee made by the city of Savannah
upon the bonds of the railroad company,
and that it constitutes valid and subsisting
liability. The judgment of the Circuit Court
is therefore affirmed.
The Chief Justice announced to the bar
this afternoon, that the United States
Supreme Court would discontinue hearing
arguments April q, and would adjourn for
the term on May Z.

Probably What Lopez Saw.

Washington Special.
The family of ex-President Diaz, of Mexico,
or so much of it as was here last week, had
some elegant diamonds, which set the ladies
wild. In bracelet that Mrs. Diaz wore at an
afternoon reception in her honor there was
single stone of twenty carats, as well as sew
eral other smaller solitaires. This bracelet
was composed of several tiny bands of gold
linked together, forming several rows, each
having diamond on it. Her earrings had
each two very large soltaires, one below the
other One set of diamonds which her
husband presented her when they were mar
ried, fifteen months ago, cost $25, 900, and in
cluded earrings, brooch, pendant necklace
and tiara for the head. Another set was a
bridal present from tine present President of
Mexico. Sonora Diaz is very young, more
than ordinarily beautiful, and highly accom-
plished, speaking English with the greatest
fuency. Her husband does not speak it at
all, and she translates rapidly into Spanish
the conversation of those who talk with him
in English.

way of criticism of General Meade, but simp-

his late history of the engagement that at
one stage of it General Meade contemplated
retreating to a new position in the rear, which
he deemed more advantageous. This state
ment Mr. John Swinton has sharply criticised
and fatty denied, General Doubleday, in
response, produces among other evidence the
following interesting and conclusive letters:
WASHINGTON, February 8, 1888.
GENERAL-Your note of the 9th inst. is re-

state that General Meade, on the I'd of July,
1868, at Getty sburg, about O'Clock in the after
noon, gave me the order to get what cavalry
and artillery could soon possible, and
take up position in the rear To cover the retreat
of the army from Gettysburg, was thus occu-
pied until 10 O'Clock at night, when was recalled
by an order from General Meade. This absence
accounts for my not being at the council of war

Agent Wilcox, at San Carlos A. T.; ''The
Indians at the agency were greatly exalted
last night by the reported presence of one or
more Chiricahuas on the reservation. AT 3
o'clock this morning Lieutenant Davis with
one hundred scouts and friendly Indians,
passed up the San Carlos river thirteen miles,
to the camp of Nadaski, chief of the White
Mountain Indians, where they found buck
named Peach, who went out with Loco's

daski and Peach were brought in, and the
former was tried and ordered to Camp
Thomas to be placed in irons, with recon-
mendation that he be sent to the Dry Tortu-
gas for life for harboring renegades, threat
ening to burn the agency, kill employees, go
on the warpath with the Chiricabuas, and
for endangering the peace of the reservation.
Hoping to obtain information, Peach will be
held here for three or four days. The Indians
here will see to it that he does not escape.
