The Case To Be Called Next Tuesday-A
Fathers Touching Devotion.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May IA Mr.. Converse, in re-
porting to the House the Englsh-Peelle case to-
day from the committee on elections gave notice
that he would call it up on next Tuesday. 1t is
understood that the Democrats have determined
that PeeIe shal go on that day William H.
English was with Mr.. Converse during the early
part of the day and nagged him up to promptly
report it, and set the day for its consideration.
He is to remain here until Will is sworn in, and
then, it is said he will take. his sons voucher
and 60 home and let his friends close up their
bets and turn over the money to his bankers.
The first session of the Forty Con
gress took up contested election cases, and
decided before the adjournment in August
that five Democrats, who held seats in
the House, were not entitled to the same
These Ave men were uAseated in one day
The evidence against them was plain and conclu-
sve. Any impartial jury would have rendered
the same verdict that brought into the House
by the Republican committee elections Mr.
Hammond of Georgia, however, was eXasperated
at the action of the House, and at one time when
silence reigned for moment, he arose in his
seat and with intense dramatic action, he, shak-
ing his finger at the Republicans cried:
''You cannot always have a majority
on that side of the house, and I want to warn
you now that when the majority comes to this
side again it will be day of reckoning His
manner was so startling that he attracted the
attention of the whole house.
The day of reckoning seems to have come.
The Democrats have the majority and control
the committees Hammonds day of reckonin g
seems to have dawned, and the sword of Da-
mocles hangs trembling over the heads of five
Republicans. Their cases are up before the
elections committee, and it is certain that ali of
them will have to drop out The analogy be
tween these cases and the five of the first session
of the Forty seventh Congress is not apparent
Each man of the Republicans had a clear ma
jority. That, however, makes no difference and
in spite of the fact that the Democrats have
sixty majority, they want more and will bounce
the Republicans to secure their ends.

FOREIGN COMMERCE..
Report Discrimination Against American
Products.

Products.
WASHINGTON, May IA unanimous report
from the Senate committee on foreign relations
was laid before the Senate, to-day, upon the sec
ond branch of the Anthony resolution OF Jan. IL
relating to expectation of meats from the United
States to foreign countries, and to discrimina-
tons made against exports from the United
States by the tariff laws of the principal coun-
tries of Europe and America. The committee
say it may be stated generally thai none of the
tariffs of European or American countries con-
tain specific determinations against merchandise
imported from the United States, but discrimi-
nations are found in the tariff system of some
countries, particularly France Austria
and Hungary against merchandise
imported from non treaty countries. 1t neces-
sarily results in placing importatiOns from the
United States at serious disadvantage. Re
speeding the prohibition against the importation
of sailed meats into Germany and France the
committee say the discrimination is not tariff
law, but an absolute prohibition of specific
American product as an American product,
and the prohibition is declared to be based upon
sanitary regulations and enforced for sanitary
reasons. The same may be said with respect to
the discrimination practiced- in Great Britain
against American cattle. If these discrimina
tions are causeless and founded upon a miscon-
ception of facts arise from groundless fears of
danger to public health, the United States have
reason forcomplaint, and after using every means
to remove the reason IF there be any reason)
for the prohibition, they may, with
perfect propriety. resort to dis
elimination against importations from the
countries which practice these causeless and un-
lust prohibitions against American products
This committee, in its former report, has sub
mtted a bill which is regarded as proper and
sufficient legislation for such cases, and all other
unreasonable or unjust determinations against
the products of the United States
With respect to the relations with Brazil, the
committee say: 1--WE have conferred upon that
country an immense benefit by placing coffee on
the free list. and obtained no equitable
reciprocal advantage. We possessed power
to purchase, by that act, valuable privileges for
American commerce with Brazil and that power
was surrendered without condition, and Brazil,
so far from approaching the liberality of the
proceeding on our part, has not only maintained
its high export duty on coffee, but increased its
duties on imports 10 per cent. ad valorem. 1t is
submitted that it may be wise generally. before
extending our free list to importations Of conse-
quence, to try. at least, the efficiency Of nego-
tiation for equitable and reciprocal benefits to
ourselves The committee does not find it nee
essary to suggest any further legislation than it
has already proposed. 1t submits. as an appen-
dix, volume containing the tariff laws of sew
eral countries, with regard to which its inquiries
have extended.

Brief Statement of the Reasons for the Re

New York World.
Mr.. Hillery is tall fine looking negro about
forty years old. When he lived in San Fran
cisco he was accustomed to buy whisky and gro
ceries at a little shop kept by Mrs. Hynes Not
content with simply taking a drink he would, it
is charged, carry in his coat-tail pocket bottle
of the cheering beverage. When he was made a
Mrs. Hynes presented her bill for s.. 70. This
he refused to pay. The amabe lady then
posted up conspicuous notice, informing the
public that the respected bishop had refused to
pay his whisky bills. This little placard at
tractod much attention. and was an ingenious
source of revenue, for religious negroes came
many miles to look upon the announcement of
their shepherds wrong doing.
But the Bishop went on his way serenely I'M
mindful Of the scandal he had left behind him
until the charges were brought accusing him of
appropriating to his own use 5000 which he had
collected in Europe for the church. The trial
was not pressed, however, and the reverend gen
tleman had a short season of rest from perse-
cution until the Kentucky Conference met. Then
charges of too great intimacy with some of the
lady church members were added to the list, and
it seemed as though tho Bishop really had to go.

ations of the Virginia Conference. A sx-foot
brother objected, and marching up into the pull
pit 9gmmsrily elected the alleged whisky drink
an eloquent defense, affirming that the whisky
WAS bought for members of his family. The
bishOpric was declared vacant and Mr.. Hillery
wandered out into Blocker street the walking
embodiment OF woe.

WASHINGTON, May 14.-Mr. Dorsheimer is
proposing to renew his war on Mr. Randall by
seeking to have the Democrats in both branches
OF Congress unite in an address TO the people
abusing the forty two Democrats who voted to
strike out the enacting clause of the tariff bill,
and calling upon Democratic voters not to allow
themselves to be misrepresented by such men
any longer Both Speaker Carlisle and Mr.
Morrison have aided Dorsheimer in pre-
pairing the document. He is now
earnestly in quest Of signers but
it is understood that he is experiencing much
difficulty in securing autographs. Many of the
members who voted for Morrisons bill are re-
luctant to sign paper which SO severely con
dennis many of their colleagues 1t is said that
thirty have already refused to sign, and others
are expected to decline. Dorsheimer visited the
Senate this afternoon, seeking to secure ndorse-

Capitol There is no doubt but what the ad-
dress is regarded with favor by many of the
leaders, for it is understood that after this

WASHINGTON, May lat appears probable
that there will be but few contested seats in the
Republican convention at Chicago. The cell for

BISHOPS ABROAD,
Letter in Chicago Inter Ocean.
Should the conference decide to have resident
bishops in India and Europe it will become an
interesting question who will be sent to these
places. The missionaries from these points are
pleading for men who know the languages and
have had long experience in the field. If this
plea prevails it is not difficult to foresee how the
cat will jump. DIR. Thoburn would in that case
be elected for India, and DR.. l.. M. Vernon, with
residence at Rome, would almost certainly be
designated as the European bishop. But it is
contemplated that the men overseeing the work
abroad shall have equal jurisdiction with the
other bishops in the superintendent of the home
work, and shall occasionally preside over con-
ferences i'll this country. They are not to be
missionary bishops, but bishops of the full
hedged order Hence, it is not so certain after
all, that the cat will jump in the way just indi-
Gated, for when the election occurs other consid-
erations will arise besides the mere question of
fitness for the foreign work, and the claims of
other men-men who have made their mark at
homo-be taken into account.
TIMID EPISCOPAL CANDIDATES.
1t is often alleged that all General Conference
delegates are candidates for the episcopacy, But
if all were leading candidates and had the awful
sense of responsibility which now seems to rest
upon limited few, the business of the session
would certainly come to standstin l suppose
that these brethren, like Mrs. Partingtcn. are
afraid to open their mouth lest they might put
their foot into it. When necessity compels them
to speak few words or to take the least per
sonal part in the proceedings, their embarrass
ment is really painful. DR. Blu, got up on Sat
urday to ask leave of absence for a fellow dele
gate, and he halted and stammered so much that
felt sorry for him. The only words l have
heard from the lips Of the eloquent and versatile
Dr.. Vincent we're in the form of a request to a
brother who had the floor to speak louder. 1t
devolved upon that most excellent man. DIR.
Ninde, to present some papers from his delega
ton, and the modest president of Garrett was so
much confused that he presented them at the
wrong time. DR.. Fowler, it is true, has made
one speech in the conference but his voice was
husky and his embarrassment such that he did
not begin to do justice to himself. The only ex
not given TO long speeches, pops UP frequently on
points of business and always shows a cool head.

 to mining in Cochise county by the
 recent favorable developments made
 m the Tombstone and Bisbee mines
 promises to continue and groT il force until every portion of the couu-
 try in which mineral deposits ale to

 posits are in limestone, seemingly having been deposited in the great cavities caused bY the action of the
 waters when the strata was forming These deposits have been the wonder of the geologist cn account of their extent and regularity The practical miner is now carefully studying the of these water c2annels, and is familiarizing himself with the indications attendant upon prodGc- tive lime Assures, blow outs, caves and pot-holes. Of the number and extent of these deposits but few, doubtless, have any adequate idea at the present time; though with a more thorough knowledge of the subject we believe that the mining of this class of deposits will become very throughout the country and that many years from now there will be hundreds Of miners employed taking the ore out of great assures, water channels and deposits in the vicinity of Tombstone, Bisbee and other sections that are at present unknown. There are already well developed mines throughout the country to produce then average amount of bulliop, while many of the lesser ones are giving great oncour- agement for further development.- Boston Herald.
