WHARFAGE.

The rates Of wharfage having been estab-
lished many years ago, your committee be-
lieve them to be unsuited to the commerce Of
the present day, and respectfully suggest that
they be revised at au early date, which would
result in mutual benefit to wharf owners and
shippers. To this end ave recommend that
your board make petition to the City Council
to have said rates revised.

National Republican.
Hon. John Overmyer. chairman of the Repub-
lican State central committee of Indiana stated
last night that work had beer begun in his State
in the matter of preparing for the approaching
campaign He said: 'The county conventions
are now being held, and everything is going
smoothly. The district conventions to select
delegates for the national convention at Chicago,
will be held on the 10th of April and on the 18th
of that month, just one week later, State con
vention will be held at indianapolis to select the
delegates at large

'That it is unsettled and we are glad of it.
While we have plenty of available candidates
there has been no disposition on the part of any
of them to crowd TO the front and precipitate
contest. The convention to nominate will be
held June 19after the result of the Chicago
convention shall be known-and we expect to
have no difficulty in selecting man who will
carry the State
'How will Indiana stand in the presidential
campaign, with the tariff as the leading issuef
I'm the very best possible shape. We do not
ask for anything better than the nomination of
Mcdonald as the Democratic candidate and
tariff issue. We will carry the State beyond all
shadow of a doubt"
What preparations are the Indiana Demo
Gratis making for the campaignW
'Well they have been confronted with con-
ficting ambitions in the organization of their
State committee, and will probably offend sever
al gentlemen when they select chairman.
Then the leaders in the State are rivals for
place on their presidential ticket Mcdonald
wants it, Hendricks hopes to get it, and English
has not yet been placated. At the recent editors
banquet at indianapolis, Mr. English made the
leading speech of the occasion, and there was
much in it to indicate decided dissatisfaction
on his part with the plans that were advanced
for harmonizng matters"
'How about the second place on the Republic
an presidential ticket9 VIII Indiana have can
didate for it,"
IF he is wanted, yes. But there will be no
crowding for it. If it should be determined that
we are to furnish Vice president. then whoever
is regarded as the best man for the place will be
supported by united delegation

His Resignation Considered Probable - Will
Gresham Succeed Him?
Special to the indianapolis journal.
WAsHrNGToN, Jan. 30-Considerable talk is
indulged in here tonight regarding General
Gresham and the United States circuit judge
ship. A Chicago lawyer, in conversation with
the Journal correspondent, stated that it was
understood in Chicago that General Gresham
would succeed Judge Drummond He seemed
surprised to think that anyone here doubted
whether or not General Gresham would accept
the position.
when General Gresham was at Chicago, re-
Gently" said he, 'he was constantly with Judge
Drummond who, it is understood, would prefer
Gresham to any other man to succeed him when
he retres."
1t is believed in Washington, by those who
take enough interest in the matter to inform
themselves on the subject, that General
Gresham intends to accept the place as soon as
Judge Drummond retires. 1t is further De-
lieved that the latter will not retire until after
the Chicago convention.
There are several applicants for the appoint
ment Among the most prominent are District
Judge Blodgett, of Chicago Judge Bailey, a
member of the Appellate Court of Illinois, and
Judge Dyer, of Wisconsin. The Illinois delega-
ton is about evenly divided between Blodgett
and Bailey; the majority, however, appear to
support the latter.

PAYING PENSIONERS.

Views of Commissioner Dudley as to Paying
from the Treasury.
Special tc the lndianap polls Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-It is not true that
Commissioner of Pensions Dudley favors the
proposition to abolish the pension agencies and
pay all pensioners direct from the Treasury On
the contrary he advocates the present system
as generally satisfactory. He has addressed a
letter on the subject to Representative Wash
burn, of Minnesota, member of the committee
on appropriations, giving his views in detail
Since 1877 the number of the agencies has been
reduced from ffty-seven to eighteen. The ex-
perience afforded agents, he states enables them
to pay the largest number in the shortest posi-
BILE time There are now about 3l5, 900 pension
ers. The quarterly vouchers upon which they
are paid are prepared by the pension agents and
sent to them through the mail be-
fore the payment becomes due. If
it were possible to have every
voucher executed and in the hands of agents on
the day the pension beea ne due, the Whole roll
of pensioners could be paid inside of five days
He says he would consult the convenience of
pensioners, who should receive their pensions
expeditiously, and not be subjected to delay of
from one to four weeks. Among the thousands
of pensioners, he says, are an INDECENT class
who suffer from delay of even day or two
In the large cities, where pensioners appear in
person to receive their money they are so anx-
ious for it that they call sometimes before day
light and wait for the agents. Many of them
suffer more from hunger and want of clothing
he thinks, than from wounds or dis
case. The agencies save great deal to pension
ers in the matter of exchange as they would
have to suffer discounts in case Of payments di-
rect from the Treasury. AS to the question of
economy by paying all pensioners from the
Treasury, the Commissioner says they cannot be
paid as cheaply as now. He thinks it would re-
quire forty more clerks, at an aggregated salary
of 100000 and that it would be necessary to
either construct another building here, or paw
$40, 900 or $4,000 annual rent besides postage
would cost $4,000, and checks $99 O00 addi
tional each year. He estimates that the average
delay by payment from the Treasury would be
forty-ive days. The disadvantage of this is at
once apparent. This could be obvated, of course
by providing a temporary force of clerks. If the
proposed plan of paying one-third of the pen
siuners each month should be adopted, he saws it
would necessitate an entire change of records in
the third auditors office, and he believes it might
throw them behind year in the work. During
the last year the cost per $4,000 disbursed on
account of pensions was s. IS, while it cost from
500 to $25 for each 81 900 disbursed through pay
masters. 1t is improbable, Mr. Washburn
thinks, that the appropriations committee will
recommend change in the manner of paying
pensioners

Operations Of a Smooth and Plausible
Scoundrel at Titusville, Pa,
He Represents Himself as Member of the
sCudebaker Family, of South Bend,
and Finally Lands in Prison.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.


TIrUsvILLE, Pa, Jan. 30.-For several days
past stranger, representing himself as one of
the Studebaker family, of the extensive wagon
shops of Studebaker Bros, South Bend, Ind.
has been staying at the Hotel Brunswick this
city, giving out that he was about to establish a
branch shop here, employing $50 men, and that
he was looking for an eligible site. Calling on a
wellknown real estate agent, he secured his
services and inspected several localities His
alleged business coming to the ears of some
leading citizens, he was called on, taken out
riding and assisted in his inspections. He said
emphatically that he wanted no bonus from the
city; that the freight and lumber resources of
this district had determined him to come to
Titusville He bargained for fourteen acres
lying along two railroads. and paid the real es-
tate agent for his trouble. He employed the
city solicitor to look up the titles and draw up
papers. This morning at 10 o'clock he presented
himself at the Commercial Bank with duly
certified check for $780, on the Quassac National
Bank Newburgh, n Y. which, as he had been
seen in the company of leading citizens was
paid He explained that this money was to be
paid down on his land contract little later it
was found he had postponed his meeting
with his lawyer, hired good livery
rig with driver and had taken the road
to Oil City. Upon wiring to Newburgh the check
was found to be forgery, and afterwards that
no such person was known to Studebaker Broth
ers The swindler had left his hotel bills unpaid
and an empty satchel in his room He is appar-
entity thirty-fve years old, with sandy hair and
mustache; is about five feet four inches high, and
of good address. 1t is thought he took disguise
out of the satchel, and has changed his dress and
appearance. Officers and citizens are in pursuit
The last trace of him was at Oil City, and tele-
grams have been sent to various chiefs of police
giving his description. He asked the editor of
the Herald not to mention his mission until his
contract had been signed, so as to prevent the
parties backing out, and that then he would give
full account.
LATER.-A dispatch just received says the
swindler caught at Sandy Lake. and will be
brought here tomorrow morning
