PENDLEToN AND M,LEAN.
The Senator Disposes of Beautiful Little

The Senator Disposes of Beautiful Little
Story.
Special to Cincinnati Times Star.
The Republican publishes talk with an Ohio
congressman, in which he spoils pretty story
about John McLeans hostility to Pendleton be-
ing because of the refusal of the latters daugh-
ter to marry the former. 1t quotes the Con
gresham as saying:
about month ago the Democratic congress
men from Ohio and Pendleton held a conference
in the Senator's committee-roon. We talked
about the situation in Ohio and, of course, Nc
Leans hostility to Pendleton was mentioned.
The cause of it was also discussed One man
mentioned one thing and others something else.
Finally one said to Pendleton: I have heard
that Mclean is opposed to you because you re
fused him admission to your house when he
came to see your daughter Pendleton replied
have never refused John Mclean admission
to my house, and he has never applied for it.
He has never called at my house to see my
daughter, and l don't think my daughter and
Mclean are acquainted. There is absolutely no
foundation in that story l think that Pendle-
ton added that he as ignorant of the cause
for McLeans hostility as any man in the room.
The story about McLean's blighted matrimonial
prospects was circulated in Ohio six months ago
and always supposed, until the Senator made
the denial, that this was the reason for McIean's
fight. Now, don't know of any reason for it
whatever"

.DeLong and Companions.

WASHINGTON Jan. 17.-Secretary Chandler
has written a letter to Commodore Upshur, com
manding the New York navy-yard, in regard to
the reception of the remains of Lieutenant-com-
mander DeLong and others of the Inflated jean
nette, which are expected to reach New York
about the 18th proximo. The Secretary says
I'm order that suitable respect for the memory of
the deceased be officially shown, have to re-
quest you to take such steps as proper for en- ap
propriate reception of the remains on their ar
rival IN New York and transportation from the
steamer, with escort through the streets of that
city to the Brooklyn bridge and over the same to
the station under your command, where you will
cause the remains to be deposited until further
instructed concerning their final disposition.
In addition to the officers you may select,
others will be ordered by the department to re-
port to you for the purpose of taking part in the
reception, Such societies or organizations as
may desire to participate in the reception will be
at liberty to do so, and you are authorized to
make known the fact application to you for
that purpose. Proper places in the procession,
under your direction, will be assigned them.
The department will make suitable arrange
ments for the final interment of the deceased
whose remains will not be taken charge of by
the relatives or friends and it is expected the
naval cemetery at Annapolis will be selected for
that purpose"

Consideration Given to Various Measures of
Public Importance.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan 1.-THE indications are
that the postal Telegraph bill question will be
presented to the Senate shortly in some shape
by the committee on postofices. The propo-
sition of Senator Edmunds to construct federal
system of telegraph appears to have considerable
strength and to be preferred to the proposition
to purchase existing lines.
The bill of Senator Nc Phersor, to allow national
banks to issue circulating notes to the full face
value of bonds deposited with the United States
Treasurer, appears to have more strength than
any other measure before Congress in reference
to this question.
The House committee on public lands will to-
morrow report bin declaring forfeited the land
grantof fourteen million acres made to the Texas
Monday, an effort viii be made to pass the bill
under suspension of the rules. The indications
that such motion would prevail.
The subcommittee of the House committee on
Judiciary to-day considered the bill introduced
by Mr.. Culberson, of Texas, to define the mean
ing of ''infamous crimes" in order that there
may be uniformity in decisions as to what of
fenses shall be prosecuted by information. The
committee agreed to report a bill declaring that
all crimes punishable by imprisonment longer
than one year are infamous and can be prose
eutedalone by Indictment
The committee pensions has directed a
favorable report to be made on the bill granting
pensions to all survivors of the Mexican war

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Mr. Wilson, of Iowa,
introduced in the Senate, to-day, bill to estab-
lish board of interstate commerce. which pro
vides that a board of commissioners shall be APP

be the consideration and investigation
of all questions relating to commerce between
the States or between the United States and for
eign countries, especially the matter of trans
portation, and, as far as necessary, to establish
just system of regulations for the government
of the same. 1t is to make a report to Congress
not later than the 1st of December, together
with draft of bill embodying a Just, compre
hensive code of regulations for transportation
among the States, which shall embrace pro-
visions fixing both maximum and minimum
rates and the preservation of free competition
with the limits so fixed for the prohibition of
discrimV ations of every kind whatsoever, and
for apI ying the same principles to all persons
and corporations alike, for the preservation and
enforcement of the rights of shippers, select
lines and parts of lines over which shipments
shall pass. Whenever, in the judgment of the
board, it shall appear that any transportation
company has violated the provisions of the law,
it shall give the company notice in writing, and
if, after the notice, the violation continues, it
shall forthwith present the facts to the Attorney
general who shall institute proceedings against
the company as authorized by law. The bill
prohibits discrimination by transportation com
panies against any shipper, and provides pen
atty of not less than 81 900 for each offense, to
be recovered by action. ON information of any
party having knowledge of the facts, which
action shall be brought in the United States
court of any district where the company may
have anagent or place of business. One-half Of
the penalty recovered shall go to the party dam
aged blythe alleged violation of the law.

THE GREELY RELIEF.
The President Recommends the Immediate
Organization of Another Expedition.

The President Recommends the Immediate
Organization of Another Expedition.
WASHINGTON, Jan 1.-THE President trans
mitted to Congress to-day accommodation from
the Secretary of War and Secretary of the Navy,
setting forth the necessity of another expedition
to Smith sound for the relief of the Greely party
and special message recommending an mmedi
ate appropriation for the purpose.
Secretary's Lincoln and Chandler, in their let
ter to the President, state that the relief board
recommend the purchase and fitting out of two
steam whalers to leave New York May IA, and
reach Upernavik about May 20. smaller
advance ship which may take greater risks is
also suggested.
In his message transmitted the
President says: "In the plans for
the relief of this party, as arranged with Lieu
tenanr Greedy, it was contemplated an effort
would be made to communicate with him, and
furnish him with any needed assistance in ioGGs9,
and again in 1888 Subsequently the legislation
enacted required the expedition of 1888 to bring
the party home. 1t was part of the arrange
ment, if communication could not be made with
him before Sept. l. that he should abandon his
station at Lady Franklin bay, not later than the
above mentioned date aud proceed southwark,
and he would hnd a welt-suUphed relief station
