A CONTROVERSY AT HAND.
The French Seeking PrOtectOrate Over the
ISthmuS of Panama.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov 10.-In the exciting presi-
Dental contest which has been raging so furi-
ously during the past few months the fact that
the United States is likely to be embroiled
in serious controversy seems to have been
actually overlooked. That such is the fact
however, can scarcely he denied, if the people of
this country mean to insist upon the observance
of the Monroe doctrine, and to resist the en-
croachment of foreign powers upon American
soil. The French are working slowly but surely
towards protectorate over the Isthmus of Pan
anna, in order that the vast interests
of French capitalists in that money gorging
ditch, the Isthmus canal, may not be
jeopardized. In spite of the sneers and slurs
of American and foreign engineers that prince
of the fraternity, De Lesseps continues his
work, and he seems able to secure all the
money and all the human lives that it is neces-
sary to sacrifice to unite the waters of the
mighty Atlantic with the peaceful Pacific.
Besides the interests of France on American
SOIL there are indications that the lapsed con
cessions to General Grants Isthmus of Tehaun-
tepec company will be secured by an En-
glish syndicate and that before the death
OF Ine present century the Two greatest
naval nations of the earth will have their ships
of war in American waters guarding French and
English interests. The dweler in the interior of
this vast country is wont TO boast that America
can sweep from the seas the flag of any foreign
nation that dares to attempt operoaehment, for
getting for the moment that the American navy
is no more to be compared with that of France
than a fishing smack is to a Cunard steamer
France has to-day the best equipped
navy on the ocean. England has be-
come alarmed, and the prospects are now
that before the present session of Parliament
comes to an end the British Admiralty will have
nearly 800, 900, 600 voted to them with which to
increase the naval force of the quondam ruler of
the ocean.
1t is unlikely that the present Congress will
have time between wrangles to consider the
question of building up the American navy
That the question must be met and settled by
providing for an armoured feet is certain, unless
our boosted Monroe doctrine is to be abandoned
before the close of the administration of the in
coming President

and John T. Hoffman the Democratic candidate
for Governor. Shortly before the election
secret circular was sent from the headquarters
of the Democratic State committee, addressed
instructing them to transmit, before the polls
closed, reports showing as nearly as possible
how the vote stood in the various precincts.
The circular bore the signature of Samuel
j. Tilden, chairman State committee" There
was every prospect that the Republicans
would carry the State by decided ma
jorty, but, to the amazement of every one
but the initiated the returns showed a Demo
cratic victory of about 10, 600. The electoral
vote WAS given to Seymour, although it did not
elect him, but Hoffman took the Office of Gov
ernor and held it through the term A con-
gressional investigating committee went to New
York, and unearthed the most astounding frauds,
by means of which the Democratic count had
been increased %, 900 in New York city alone.
AS single instance, it was found that eighty
seven voters were registered at a certain num-
Der on Water street, which proved to be the
notorious John Aliens dance-house, of which
the wicke dest man in New York; was the only
male resident. The Democratic vote counted
for certain election districts was greater than
the total population of the district-men women
ard children.
The revelations of the investigating committee
readily suggested the true INV ardness of the
Democratic secret circular. Early approximate
returns were called for in order that it might be
seen how many ballots were necessary to insure
Democratic success This is now matter of
history, and the irrefragable proof of the frauds
is found in the published report of the invest-
eating committee. 1ilden claimed, in self-de-
tense, that the secret circular, with his;name APP
pended, was issued without his knowledge by
Bill Tweed, his associate on the Democratic
State committee At all events, the party
enjoyed the fruits of its frauds, and Hoffman
held the gubernatorial chair to which he was
never legally elected Griswold died soon after
the election, and his death removed the strong
est personal motive for instituting proceedings.
The lesson of the barefaced frauds of 1868 are
worth recalling in view of the attitude assumed
by Daniel Manning and other Democratic lead
ers in reference to the yet uncanvassed vote of
New York

WAsHINGTON'S OPERA-HOUSE.
Dedication of the First Worthy of the Name
in the National Capital

WASHINGTON, Nov 10.-Albaugh's Grand
Opera house, the first worthy of that designation
ever erected in this city, was opened to the pub
lie this evening with the performance of
"Sermramide" by the Abbott English opera
troupe. The brilliant audience filed the new
theater to its utmost capacity, and were enthu-
siastic in their admiration of its remarkably
beautiful proportions and rich and harmonious
decorations. President Arthur, Senator and
Mrs. Don Cameron, the Assistant Secretary of
State and Mrs. Davis, Miss Frelinghuysen, As
sstaEt Postmastergeneral Crosby and Private
Secretary Phillips, occupied proscenium
box, and there were other distin-
guished persons among the audience
Before the regular performance began dedica-
tory poem, written by John V. Hood, of Balti-
more, was delivered by Edwin Hay, a member
of the Washington bar, and Miss Abbot, in the
costume of the Queen of Babylon, sang 1.-THE
Star Spangled Banner" supported by the or
chestra and operate chorus. At the end of the
second act Mr.. Albaugh was called out and made
a brief but graceful and appropriate Speech and
was followed by Mr. Gray, the architect, who
was persistently called for and warmly received
by the audience. The auditorium Of the theater
is ninety feet wide by eighty-four feet in depth.
1t is one of the largest in the United States be-
ing only a trihe smaller than the
Metropolitan Opera-house, of New York,
but in consequence of the unusually liberal
allowance of space between the rows of chairs
and for wide aisles, and the fact that there are
only two galleries, the number of seats is limited
to 1000 The stage is fifty feet deep by ninety
wide, and is furnished with all the latest me-
ehanical contrivances. The proscenium opening
is forty feet wide with a lofty semicircular
arch The private boxes are ten in number.
The ceiling is paneed in wood, with a large
dome in the center surrounded by brilliantly
lighted arcade, thus doing away with the center
chandelier. The decorations, drop-curtain and
other upholsteries, all of which were designed
and selected by architects Gray and Page, are
notably beautiful and effective.

A Suggestion to Southern Officials.
nacfal Ia the Indianapolis IournaI


BLooMINToN, ILL.,, Nov. 10.-Rev. c. S. Smith,
the colored orator, who sulked in his tent
througf$ut the campaign, after creating dis
turbance in the Republican State convention
and finally made bitter speech against Blaine
to day sent the following:
TO His Fxceilency, Chester A. Arthur, Executive
Mansion, Washington, D. c.:
From observations extending through nine
years residence in the South, it is my opinion
that there is great danger of a conflict between
the two races in that section growing out of the
fears of many of the colored people that un der a
Democratic administration they will be gradu-
ally reduced to slav> ". Therefore, as a loyal
colored citizen, wish to suggest that the gov
eminent issue instructions to the federal office
holders in the South to be cautions as to the
advice they give to the colored people. Slavery
is dead forever, and the possibility of its resur-
rection ought not be proclaimed for partisan
effect. G. S. SMITH"

PAYING OLD DEBTS.
Forgotten Bonds Of Half Century Ago
Brought 10 Light.

WASHINGTON, Nov. I0.-Owing to a variety Of
circumstances there is always in the Treasury
large amount OF money due people, who do not
call for it because they do not know it Is there.
or because they have lost the bonds or other
evidence of their claims. Including money in
the abandoned property bureau the aggregate
Of these sums is estimated by Treasury official
ct $40, 000, 600 1t is not the practice of the
United States government to take advantage of
the ignorance of its citizens, and it would be a
violation of law for a clerk OF officer of the
Treasury to give any person information on
which he could base a claim against the govern
ment. In many cases, of course the depart
rInent has no means of knowing who the
Tightful claimants are. Recently an old man
from a New England State came into the
Treasury, and said that about twenty years ago
he had found some old bonds among the papers
of an uncle, man Of national reputation for
ability and wealth from 1920 to 1886, whose
name he bore and whose estate he inherited
many years ago. They seemed to be United
States bonds he said, but he could not find
banker who knew anything of them or their
value, and as he was coming here he thought he
would bring them along and see if they really
had any value. They were indeed curiosities,
old and yellow they were from age, for they
were part of 1.-THE old debt" and ceased to bear
interest in 1856. The amount of the principal
was $50, 900, and there was ten years interest
due on them. He said he would gladly have
taken S., coo for them, and that he had once
offered them to Massachusetts, bank for that,
but his offer was contemptuously declined The
old man walked out of the Treasury with a
check in his pocket on the New York subtreas
ufy for $40, U0U.

sistony at Rome
ROME Nov. 1O.-At a consistory, to-day the
Pope created nine new cardinals. In his allo-
cution the Pope adverted to the painful posi-
ton in which the head of the church was placed
and the trial through which the church is pass
ing, He dwelt on the progress that the Catholic
faith was making throughout the world espe-
cially in the United States, where the lenary
council has just assembled. He mentioned the
fact that new bishops had been appointed in
Australia, India and throughout the East and
expressed especial qualification at the restoration
of the See of Carthage.
The following are the names of eight of the
nine new Cardinals announced by the Pope,
at the consistory, to-day: Ganglbauer arch
bishop of Vienna, Austria; Gozales
Diaz Tunon archbishop of Seville. Spain;
Celesia, archbishop of Palermo; Mascara, the
venerable African missionary; Merosgiorie,

WASHINGTON, Nov 1O.-F. A Trittle, Gov
ernor of Arizona, in his annual report to the
Secretary of the Interior, after referring to the
prospects of the Territory, says the unsettled
to great extent, the settlement of the Terri
tory. The Governor says that unless the ex-
tended immigration of Mormons into the Terri
tory is restrained by law he fears violence. He
urges an appropriation for sinking artesian
wells in the higher valleys of Arizona, which
will render fertile hundreds of thousands of
acres. The report also urges geological survey
by the government and the establishment of a
branch mint. In conclusion, the Governor says
the time has arrived when the people of Arizona
should be allowed to vote for President of the
United States, and that their delegate in Con
gress should be permitted to vote and exercise
the rights of representative of States.

THE pUCHY OF BRUNSWICK.
The Duke of Cumberland Asserts His Right
of Succession.

of Succession.
BERLIN Nov 10-The North German
Gazette publishes the text of the circular issued
by the Duke of Cumberland, which has been ad-
dressed to all the German sovereigns except the
Emperor. The reason this circular has not been
forwarded to the Emperor is because the latter
refused TO recognize the notification issued by
the Duke of Cumberland to the Brunswick min
istry on the day of the death of the late Duke
of Brunswick In the present circular the Duke
of Cumberland demands that his proclamation,
assuming the government of the duchy shall
be countersigned by the Council of Regency
of Brunswick The Duke maintains that
the validity. of his succession is
that his hereditary right to succession has not
been contested in any quarter and holds it inn
possible for the empire to refuse him the right
of assuming the government of the duchy with
out encroachlng upon the laws and justice which
formed the foundation of the German Empire
itself. The Duke concludes his circular by
stating that the imperial constitution contains
no authorization for such refusal, and if he is re-
fused his succession to the duchy of Brunswick
the right of all other sovereigns will be imper
lied The manifesto containing his
assumption of the throne of the duchy
was issued by the Duke of Cumberland
to the Council of Regency of Brunswick on the
18th of October, with "a request to countersign
it, The council replied that it could not accept
the responsibility of such an act, and must leave
it to the Duke himself to make good his sover-
eign claims to the Emperor and Imperial gov
eminent The announcement of this action by
the Council of Regency was made known to the
Landtag, and the decision of the council was re-
ceived with cheers. Windthorst who at
Gunnenden when the Duke of Cumberland is
sued his manifesto, declared that Cumberlands
right to the crown is undoubted and indefeasi-
