Apprehension Aroused by Senator HarrisOn's
Strength a Presidential Candidate.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, May Alt begins to be appar-
ent that the strength of Senator Harrison as a
probable candidate for the presidency is looked
upon with no little apprehension in certain cir
cles. In the estimates of preferences of dele
gates to the Chicago convention, some influences
seek to weaken the support of the Senator by
purposely leaving him out This is also mani
fest by the course of some Democratic journals
The Post, of this city, states, this morning, that
a resolution indOrsing General Harrison was
voted down last night in the Indiana Republican
Club The fact is that such resolution would
have been passed with enthusiasm had it not
been ruled out of order under the rules of the
club, as was clearly indicated by the manner in
which it was received when presented at the
close of an enthusiastic speech by W. W. Curry,
in which he forcibly presented the claims of the
Senator

FOR BOCENTS
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL.

Tn order to place the WEEKLY INDIANA
STATE JOURNAL in the home of every Repub-
lican in the State, and thus do good campaign
service for the Republican party, we have de-
cided to send the paper till after the presiden-
tial election for so cents. This will include
the number beginning from the present date,
and one succeeding the November election
giving the result of the national campaign.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is a complete family
newspaper. 1t is specially edited, and much
of the matter appearing in it is especially pre-
pared for the wants of the weekly readers. 1t
is compendium of the NEWS OF THE WORLD
from all quarters; it has full and accurate mar
ket reports; its editorials are political, social
and general; it has the news of the State
and of the city; it has record
of the proceedings of Congress- it will have a
complete report of the national conventions at
Chicago. Its literary and miscellaneous fea-
lures are of the best.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is newspaper that
should be in every family in Indiana, and at
the price named for it there is no reason why
it should not be, at least during the exciting
and important campaign upon which the
country is about to enter. Political COM
mittees cannot do better than to see that
copies of THE WEEKLY JOURNAL are placed
in the hands of those persons in their
counties who are not now readers of
some sound Republican paper. The
tariff question is the one issue which
is likely to be most prominently dis
cussed, and to this the Journal pays especial
attention, advocating the maintenance of the
principle of protection to American industry
in whatever revision of the tariff laws may be
made necessary in the future developments of
business and labor In this question the
farming community is deeply interested, and
the discussions of the Journal will be
largely directed to the agricultural aspects of
the question.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is the only paper in
Indiana that publishes regularly Ten Pages,
and this will be continued throughout the
campaign, despite the low price Send in
names at once, and thus get the full term for
the money. JOHN C. NEW & SON,
Indianapolis.

FOREIGN MISCELLANY.
An UncOnfirmed RumOr-the Matrimonial
Intentions of Prince Louis.

An Unconflrmed RumOr-the Matrimonial
Intentions of Prince Louis.
LONDON, May 3-The recent princely mar
rage at Darmstadt has started a crop of mat
rimonial rumors, the most important of which is
an unconfrmed report that the Grand Duke
Louis " of Hesse, is about to contract NOR
ganatic marriage. Louis " is forty
years old, is the father of Princess Victoria,
who was married last Wednesday to Prince
Louis, of Battenburg, and has been widower
since the death of Princess Alice the second
daughter of Queen Victoria, in 1873. The rumor
of the Grand Dukes morganstic intentions is
generally discredited in London. where it is
known that he has made formal proposal for
the hand of Princess Beatrice, the Queens only
unmarried daughter, 1t is also stated on good
authority that this proposal has been accepted
by the Queen and Princess Beatrice, subject to
the passage by Parliament of the bill legalizing
marriages between widowers and deceased wives
sisters A strong color of probability is given
to this statement by the fact that the Queens
influence has been steadily exerted in favor of
this measure, and that it has always received
the votes of all the royal princes in the House
of Lords
