A Sharp Parliamentary Struggle Expected
Over the Morrison Bill.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April 12.-As the time draws
near when the Morrison tariff bill will come up
in the House, its friends grow more and more
nervous. Mr.. Morrison has held frequent con-
situations with Speaker Carlisle and he has been
seen to enter the Speakers room with several
of the best parlamentarians identified as tariff
reformers. 1t is understood that a plan of
parliamentary procedure has been in the course
of being mopped out during the past week, and
that one of the fercest parliamentary struggles
ever seen in the House is expected to come up
on Tuesday next. 1t is believed that Speaker
Carlisle has now well defined and positive
programme arranged, which he will carry out in
the event there is anything extraordinary.
There can be no doubt that Speaker Carlisle,
though fair man, usually, will draw the politi
cal lines very distinctly" said Democratic
member, ''and l expect to see him bring the
thumb screws to bear on his party on Tuesday.
He is man of undoubted courage, and there
can be question about his determination to
promote the interests of the bill now on his
table"
'ln the event he defeats the Randall men and
Republicans by parliamentary ruling, what will
be the resultl" 1 asked.
'It will then be rough and tumble fght-an
enjoyable affair for the Republicans to be sure,
but a most lamentable affair for u.s. If it is
shown that there is decided majority against
consideration of the bill, and the Speaker so
rules that the bill is considered, you may expect
bitter fight Then the men in either party op-
posed to tinkering with the tariff will lay siege
to the position of those ruling and it will be dis
astrous work"
'Do YOU think the bill will be considered"
"It may be that there is majority in favor of
it, out anticipate that the opposition will de-
velop from eight to twelve against consideration
OF course, if the Speaker rules with the majori-
ty, whatever that may be, all right; if not, it
will not be submitted to-"

opinions of the Newspapers-NO Proof to
Show that the Men Are Americans.
LONDON April l2,-Referring to the influence
| which the discovery of the new dynamite plots
will exercise on American opinion the Globe
says: "How will America take these fresh reve
| atiOns? American citizens doubtless detest the
cowardy scoundrels who abuse the hospitality
Of the United States by making use of the re-
public as a dynamite basis; but why do they not
relieve themselves of the reproach of allowing
Fenianism publicly to hatch murderous plots
against the English peoplele
The Times says: The American advce to
England to let the Irish agitators in the United
States alone, because the agitator and his ways
cannot last, does not relieve the danger of En-
glish citizens. These agitators keep the Irish
Americans discontented, and out of harmony
with the sober industrial life around them in
America. England has pressing concern in the
suppression OF this obnoxious class, but Ameri-
can law has no word to say about them"
Other journals headed their accounts of YES
terday arrests with American Fenians in Eng
land but Notwithstanding the criticisms and
headlines none OF the men arrested have yet
Deen shown to have any connection whatever
with the American dynamite party
The Observer says: IF American law cannot
reach the dynamiters it ought to be altered A
demand to this effect might fairly be addressed
to the government at Washington, as the main
contention in favor of the Alabama claims was
that it is the duty of every government to have
such municipal law as will prevent injury to cit
izens of a friendly State"
A Paris dispatch says: "On learning of the
arrest of Patrick Fitzgerald, the Invineibles of
this city concluded the papers found on the pris-
oner would not implicate any Irishmen in Paris.
They say DAILY is not an emissary of O'Donvan
Rossa The dynamiters of Paris profess that
they do not know him"
Colonel Maiende, in his report on the dyna-
mite attempts at the London railway stations,
says; There never was q case requiring more
searching examination. A great crime was
planned the results of which were escaped bv
only slender chain of what it would be proper
to call accidents"

MIR. HOLMAN's REBUKE.
Lesson for Statesmen Who Persist in Rid
ING Hobbies.


ing Hobbies.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 12.-Doubtless the rebuke
administered to Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, in the
House the other day by Mr.. Money, of Missis
sippi, and Mr.. Aiken of South Carolina, will serve
as lesson to some of the able men of the eoun-
try who persisteptly ride hobbies. Mr.. Holman
is one of the best equipped statesmen at the
capitol; he knows every detail of legislation and
what is needed in the different branches of the
government. Yet with all this knowledge of
public affairs, he is one eff the least efficient men
in the House-made inefficient by the idea that
his mission is solely that of an objector. On
the theory that it is better that ninety nine
guilty men escape than that one innocent one
should be punished, Holman does more harm in
one week than he does good in five years. If
he saves at the spigot he wastes at the bung.
His ideas of economy only serve to cripple pub
lie institutions
Even the Indiana members of his own party
enjoyed the rebuke administered to Holman,
and say, that if, having pointed out to him his
perceptible hypocrisy will teach him anything
for the future, they are glad of it. If one were
to judge by Holmans looks during the faying,
he would have concluded that the brick house
had at last fallen upon him, and that he appreci-
ated his position

Charged with Wrecking a Train.

DAYTON, April 13.-Michaels who was arrested
here on Friday on suspicion of being the wrecker
was identified this afternoon by conductor
Pierson, who had charge of the wrecked train,
as the tramp he had put off
only few days before. Measurements
of his feet also correspond with the tracks in the
mud about the Toulouse. To-day Michaels ad-
mitted that he is tramp and that he was in
the vicinity of the wreck on Thursday but
claims he is innocent There is a strong feeling
against him. but so far the evidence is merely
circumstautial
red here to-day. The funeral was one of the
largestever seen in the city.

Joseph Salisburys InsOmnia-A Man Who
Has Not Slept for Three Months.

WHEELING, w. Va, April 12.-One of the
most remarkable cases of insomnia on record
has come to light in this city during the past
week, and has attracted much attention. Since
about JAN l, Joseph Salisbury, ship carpen-
ter, who had before that date always taken the
seven or eight hours of sleep daily required by
the majority of mankind, suddenly found him
self unable to take his accustomed rest and up
to the present date, a period of over three
months has never laid down or, so far as can be
ascertained taken over an hours sleep in any one
day, while for many days at time he has not
slept at all A week ago party of gentle
man determined to keep a strict watch, and to
that end sat up with Salisbury five enightsi in sue
cession. During that time he took no sleep
whatever and the watchers left at the close of the
fifth day, firmly convinced that the case is all it
is claimed to be- one of the most remarkable on
record 1t is the more astonishing from the fact
that the victim of this strange malady goes
about his daily toll with the same cheerfulness
and capacity for labor as his companions who
take the usual quantity of sleep Salisbury's
usual habit is to sit and chat with friends at his
boarding house until bedtime when, after bid
ding them good night, he plants himself in a
chair by the fire, where ne sits until morning,
but apparently wide awake at all hours.

THE NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION.
An Important Measure Adopted in Its Favor
at a Meeting of the Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-At the Cabinet meet
ing held last Friday, it was decided to have ex-
hibits made from the various departments of the
government at the Worlds Industrial and Cotton
Centennial Exhibition, which opens at New Or
leans next December, and to-day President Ar
thur through Secretary Frelnghuysen, issued
an executive order similar to the one issued by
Gen. Grant in the case of the Centennial Exhi-
bition. The order recites that it is desirable
that from the Executive Departments of the
Government of the United States,
in which there may be articles suit
able for the purpose intended there
should appear such articles and material as will,
when presented in collective exhibition, illus
trate the functions and administrative faculties
of the government in time of peace and its re-
sources as a war power and thereby serve to
demonstrate the nature of our institutions and
their adaptation to the wants of the people. The
order further instructs the heads of the several
departments to select suitable persons; all of
whom, when selected shall form a board which
shall at once communicate with the board of
management of the exposition in relation to such
matters as may be connected with the subject.
The commissioners of agriculture and educa-
tion are also made members Of this board. This
is regarded here as the most important measure
which has yet been adopted in favor of the great
