HON. MORRIS MDONALD TALKS.
His Election as Delegate Was Not Test of
HarrisOns and Greshams Strength.
Special to the indianapolis Journal

! Special to the Indianapolis Journal
New ALBANY, April 2l.-The Journal corre-
spondent had talk, to-day, with Hon. Morris
Mcdonald the delegate for the State at large to
the national Republican convention at Chicago
from this part of the State. He found Mr. Nc
Donald entirely willing to give expression to his
views. You have doubtless read what num-
Der of newspapers have been publishing in rela-
ton to the contest between yourself and Hon.
viii Cumback in the delegate convention
| at indianapolis on the 18th, for dele
gate for the State at large to Chicago, in which
it is claimed that the vote between yourself and
Governor Cumback was a positive test of the
strength of Senator Harrison and General
Gresham and that your election was Gresham
victory. What have you to say of these publ
cations!" asked the Journal correspondent.
Mr.. McDonald-I did not at the time, and
do not now regard my election in the light in
which some of the newspapers seem to regard
it. l know that some of Senator Harlisons s
warmest friends worked hard and voted for me,
while some of General Gresham's warm friends
worked and voted for Governor Cunback. 1t
is my judgment that what contributed to my
success more than any other influence was my
fairminded as well as brainy men, and
it was not so much that was a candidate, or
that had any particular preference for a presi-
Dental candidate as that the convention felt
that southern Indiana was entitled to one of the
delegates; and l being the only candidate from
this part of the State proper a majority of
the convention naturally voted for me. The
only objection 1 heard to Senator Harrison as a
delegate during the convention, was ex-
pressed in the nature of fear that he being
possible candidate for the presidency might be
embarrassed in the capacity of d1iega+e in the
convention, But Senator Hars sons friends
met this objection with the staten 9nt that his
name would not be before the Chicago con
vention and Immediately and most properly, all
opposition to his election as delegate was with
drawn. 1 regard his election proper and
merited. The idea of Greshams friends having
any feeling against, opposition to, Senator
Harrison, or Harrison's friends having any such
feeling against General Gresham, is utterly alb
surd, and such feeling entered into the con-
test for delegate to Chicago between Governor
Cumback and myself 1t was question of loca-
ton, and upon this l was chosen over one of In
dianas most distinguished citizens and loyal and
honored Republicans

PARIS, April 2l-Figaro's correspondent at
Cairo sends the following details of the recent
Shendy massacre: Three hundred Egyptian
troops and six hundred non-combatants prefer
ring to make the hazardous attempt to march
to Berber rather than starve inside Shendy,
set out from the latter place on the 18th
Part of the number went slowly by steamer
down the river while the others marched along
the river banks. When two hours march from
Shendy, they were attacked by Arabs, and after
short fight, all the troops excepting
few were massacred. The Arabs
afterward captured Shendy The Egyptian
troops there had discarded their arms and uni
forms i'll hope of being spared Few, however,
escaped the general massacre. Two thousand
men, women and children were slaughtered
many of them being refugees from Khartoum
Foreign consuls at Khartoum report an order
dated April g. that Gen Gordon considers that
the time for retreating has arrived Gordon
VIII send with Col. Stewart and Vieeconsul
Power, who are to return to Lower Egypt by
way of Abyssnia all foreigners who choose to
accompany them. Gordon has himself no in
tention of retreating He hopes England will
yet send him aid.
Gen. Graham and Sir Evelyn Barring have
started for London. 1t is believed the latter will
not return General Graham was summoned to
England to explain military affairs in Soudan.
A correspondent at Cairo says General Gordon
has sent a telegram to Sir Evelyn Barring express
ing indignation at the manner in which
he has been abandoned by the En-
glish government and saying that henceforth
he will cut himself entirely adrift from those
who have deserted him. 1t is believed the gov
ernmant has determined to despatch the utmost
available force Of all to Khartoum. It is hoped
this force will be ready to start in six weeks.

Hewett for direct diplomatic relations with

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 2l-Mr. Morrison said
tonight that he would call up the tariff bill in
the House tomorrow and would call it up each
day until it was acted upon. The House to-day
decided to meet at IL o'clock each morning.
With this extra hour each morning and the
evening sessions which he will ask for to-mor-
row, he thinks all the speeches on the tariff bill
can be made during this week and the bill passed
inside of ten days He thinks Congress can ad-

more days for public building bills, two days for

to the Pacific railroad sinking fund and other
bills before that committee; and probably
week for other measures, WILL he says, be all
the time needed by the House outside of the
time required by the appropriations committee
to pass their measures. Mr.. Morrison thinks
there is no doubt that Congress can adjourn be-
fore the Democratic convention at Chicago.
In a talk tonight with your correspondent,
Colonel Morrison denied that he intended taking
steps to cut short the debate his tariff bill.

"Well, do you think the bill will be strength
ened by debatelp I asked.
81 do" he replied, with flash in his eyes. Il
do, sir, most assuredly. think there are more
votes for it now than there were week ago,
and believe it is getting stronger, because the
people of the country are learning something of
what it really is"
'How about the amendments"
Amendments will strengthen the bill, of
course, If they would not they would not be
offered. 1t is to make friends that amendments
are accepted, and that is where the men who
think the bill will be weakened by amendments
are mistaken"

THE SUPREME COURT.
Nominal Transfer of Bank Stock-LiabiIity of
County for Bonds Issued.

-~NNNO-~-
WASHINGTON, April PA decision was rem
dered by the Supreme Court to-day in the national
bank stock case of Henry j. Anderson, receiver
of the First National Bank of Allentown, Pa,
against the Philadelphia Warehouse Company
The question presented by this case is, whether
a corporation which has taken national bank
stock as collateral security for loan has a right
to nominally transfer the certificate of that stock
to an irresponsible person in its employ, and
have the certificate registered in the name of
such irresponsible person, in order to escape the
liability which would attach to such corporation
as a stockholder of the bank in case of the banks
failure and insolvency. The court holds that
the nominal transfer here brought in ques-
ton was made in good faith,
when the bank was in good credit and paying
large dividends, and years before its failure, or
even its embarrassment. So far as the company
was concerned the transfer was not made to es
cape impending calamity or to avoid incurring
liability which it was unwilling to assume,
and which it was at perfect liberty to shun.
The judgment of the circuit court is affirmed
Opinion by Chief Justice Waite.
Justice Miller read dissenting opinion, in
which he said that if in any case between pri
vate persons one of them had placed property in
the hands of minors, servants or other
irresponsible persons for the pur-
pose OF 6SCdpllg inc responsibility
attaching to the ownership of such property,
while sharing all the advantages of such owner
ship. it would be held to be a transaction which
could not be supported on any legal or equita
BILE principle, The transfer in the present case,
if not an actual fraud, was fraud upon the
banking law, and was so intended to be by
both the original holders of the bank shares
and the Offices of the warehouse company.
Justice Matthews joined in Justice Miller's dis
