SAGACIOUS TILDEN.
Why the Old Man Says Nothing in Reference
to Tariff.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April 24-It is a matter of
great deal of comment here that in but one of
his many interviews with curious visitors has Mr.
Tilden been reported as saying anything about
the tariff. In General Gordon's talk with him
he is reported to have said that the tariff should
not be undulY agitated. Mr.. Tildens silence on
this subject is taken by observing politicians to
be very strong evidence that, notwithstanding
his repeated ''refnsals," he really wants the
Democratic nomination. 1t IS argued that were
he not candidate he would have no hesitancy
in speaking his mind freely on the tariff. He
would add his influence to either one side or the
other in the pending agitation of the subject.
But not wanting to lose strength in any quarter,
he does not define his tariff position. 1t is,
therefore, agreed that MIR. Tilden is as sagacieus
as ever in looking after any boom in which he
has proprietary right.

A Senatorial Growl Because of the Delay of
Business in the House.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 24-Much complaint is
heard from the Senators about the House being
so far behind IN it's work. Democrats join Re
pubeans in criticising the majority in the
House because of its inactivity. The Senators
say there is no use for them to work while the
House plays, They declare the members do
nothing but hunt up statistics for tariff speeches
and write upon their campaign literature. 1t is
proposed that the Senate shall hereafter sit but
three or four hours day, and adjourn to Mon
day from Thursday of each week. The Demo
Gratis in the House appear to appreciate in
measure the situation they are getting business
into. Some of them lay the trouble to the exist
ing rules, while others claim it is due to fac
tional differences. 1t is evident that only few
measures of the greatest Importance can be
passed upon, and caucus is suggested for the
purpose of determining what measures shall be
pushed at this session.

How the Result in New York Is Regared in
Washington.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 24-The result of the
New York Republican convention is source of
the lveliest gossip and speculation everywhere
tonight. The Arthur Edmunds combination in
the New York convention beat Blaine, who
lacked only six votes of majority in the con-
vention. New York. Ohio and Pennsylvania
have l78 votes in the Chicago convention; of
these 17S votes 107 are pronounced for Blaine
The latter's friends claim his nomination on the
first ballot by vote of 4l6 This gives him
eighty votes from the South, Arthurs friends
say the claim of eighty Southern votes is VIC
lent presumption, and figure out 247 votes of the
total of $40 for Arthur. Hence they claim
Arthur could afford to give Edmunds tho four
delegates at large from New York in order to
keep the State convention from instructing for
Blaine.

The Blaine boom may be spreading over the
country, but there is little of it in Washington;
not but that there are plenty of noisy Blaine
adherents here, those who do the shouting, while
the quiet men putin the effective work. Indeed,
it is difficult to find anyone here, whose opinion is
of value, who looks upon Blaines nomination
as within range of probability, not only that so
many of the Republican leaders who are his
equal in prominence and ability are personally
opposed to him, but also that there s almost a
universal feeling that he would be very weak
candidate, and his election exceedingly doubt

famous dancer is dead.
-Taglioni came of a dancing family. Her father
was ballet master in Italy, and was on the
stage all his life dying at the age of ninetyfour.
Paul, her brother, was also celebrated dancer.
He made a tour of America and settled down as
ballet master at the court theater in Berlin, re-
tanning his position during life-fve and thirty
years. His daughter, named Marie after her
celebrated aunt, likewise won many laurels in
the dance, but retired at thirty, on her mar
riage with Prince Joseph Windischgratz Marie
was born in Sweden, in 1907 her mother Maria
Karsten, having been a daughter of a local ira
gedian of note. At the age of sixteen she
made her debut in Vienna. 1t was not until four
years later that she appeared in Paris. AT the
acme of her celebrity, when She was twenty
eight. she was married to Count Gilbert de
VoiSins, one of her most devoted admirers; but
she remained on the stage fifteen years longer
and might possibly not have retired just then,
had she not been annoyed by series of wran-
giles at the opera in Paris, caused in great de-
gree by envy other constantly repeated triumphs
Count de Voisns died at Figueras, Spain, where
he was vce-consul of France, and during the
Franco PrusSian war his widow lost her whole
fortune. She went to London and established q

money was gone he put on q second
