WASHINGTON, April 9.-'Nothing will be done
by this House to hamper the liquor traffic as it
now exists" said a member of the committee on
alcoholic liquor traffic to-day. '"The bill pro-
viding for a commission on the subject of liquor
traffic has been reported back to the House ad-
versely. That settles it."
Mr.. Hill, of Ohio, chairman of the committee,
says it is exceedingly doubtful whether Congress
has jurisdiction over the subject in the States,
and that it is always safest MOTT exercise doubt
full power. Various experiments have been
tried in several of the States to prohibit the
manufacture and sale of Intoxicating beverages
said he, ''but with what success do not know.
Each of the States of the Union is republican in
form, invested with the power to enact laws,
with courts and executive officers to enforce the
same. All the police regulations necessary in
regard to the liquor traffic in the several
States can be better devised by the local
wants of the people therein, and are generally
shaped by public sentiment, expressed by legisla-
ton. 1t is doubtful whether any uniform police
regulations which Congress could adopt by fed
eral statute. would be suited to the wants of
every people in each State, or could be en-
forced"
'"Then you do not think that Congress will
take hold of prohibition2'
mo, sir. Even if Congress had full power to
prohibit the manufacture and sale of alcoholic
and malt liquors, it is exceedingly doubtful
whether a law passed by Congress for that pur-
pose could be better enforced in the several
S+atas than the State avs on that subiaat AFRO

federal officers in every State in the Union,

CAIRO, April 9.-The English minister to
Egypt has a dispatch from General Gordon,
bearing date of March 80. 1t says that on March
% General Gordon disarmed 250 bashi bazouks
who had mutinied. On the following day he
shelleG the rebel camp on the Blue Nile, killing
forty of the enemy. On March 81 the rebels
fired upon Khartoum from a village opposite,
but they were soon forced to evacuate, losing
ffty-nine men in the engagement, and bashi
bazou,ss occupied the village and held it until
March 30, when the rebels returned in force
and drove them out, but then retired themselves.
The White Nile tribes are quiet, The Khar-
toum market well supplied.
The Mahdi has sent the rebels six guns. Gen

Khartoum with the garrison as soon as possible.
The latest advices from General Gordon are
dated April l. He repoA q that in the engage
ment of March 3 the rebels lost forty men killed
and eight wounded, together with sixteen horses.

CLOSE OF A BITTER FIGHT.
Governor Ordway Beaten in His Contest with
Mccoy.

Special to the indianapolis Journal,
WASHINGTON, April Gone of the severest
struggles known to political history was deter
mined this afternoon, in executive session of the
Senate, by the confirmation of the nomination
of Colonel Charles I. Mccoy as register of the
United States Land Office at Aberdeen, D.. T.
McCoy's were the second hands through which
the notorious Douglass county. Dakota, bonds
passed, two or three years ago, which transac-
ton defeated the admission of Dakota to
statehood at the last session of Congress. His
nomination was sent to the Senate upon its con-
vening, last December. He is an enemy of Gov
ernor Ordway, of Dakota, who came here last
December to defeat his confirmation. He mar
shaled his hosts and remained her until to-day.
He brought up all the crookedness connected
with the bond transactions. A half bushel of
papers were filed, pro and con, before the
Senate committee on public lands. Mccoy
proved his connection with the bonds clear,
and filed, besides, petitions of hundreds
of the people of Dakota, the Endorsements of 1875
newspapers in different parts of the Territory,
Upward of a hundred kilograms, signed by..nearly
a thousand people, were received by the COM
mittee. One evening last week the committee
held a special meeting to hear Ordway and Nc
Coy. The language used by Ordway was so bit
ter toward the committee that Chairman Plumb
threatened to throw him out of the room, and
quite a row occurred. The committee reported
unanimously for Mccoy, and he was confirmed
promptly today. Governor Ordway's term ex-
pires early next month. He says he does not
want the office any longer, and pours impreca-
tons upon President Arthur. Ordway was at
one time Sergeant-at-arms of the House of Rep
resentatives, and an influential Republican from
New Hampshire. He is wealthy, but politically
is now down. The affair has been a sensation
in Dakota since last fall, and has attracted much
attention here.

RAILWAY MAGNATE MHENRY.
GrOundless RumOr Concerning His Arrest
How the Report Obtained Currency.

New YORK, April 9.-Late this evening, after
business Offices were closed, a rumor was started
to the effect that James McHenry, the railroad
magnate, was arrested to-day on board the
steamship Servia, on which he was a passenger
for England. The alleged arrest was said to
be at the instance of the Erie Railroad Company.
Mr.. James Riley, MI. McHenry's agent, says the
rumored arrest is utterly false. The facts are
that since October last negotiations have been
pending between McHenry and President Jewett
in regard to a settlement of judgments, aggre-
eating some 50, 600, 900, obtained here or in Lon
don by the Erie Railway Company against Nc
Henry. The latter had been anx-
ious to go to England for some time,
but he did not wish to leave the city before a
satisfactory arrangement had been made. The
matter has dragged along since that time with
out anything being accomplished, until two days
ago, when McHenry made, through me, a propo-
sition to Jewett by which he agreed to transfer
very valuable assets. consisting, principally, of
stocks and other securities, to the Erie Company,
as a settlement in full of all claims against him.
This proposition was regarded with favor, and,
yesterday evening, McHenry and myself met
Jewett and his lawyer at his house, where We
talked over the whole matter. Jewett
made a proposition, based upon McHenry's,
which was accepted by the latter,
with very little modification, and
arrangements were made to conclude the agree
ment to-day. This morning there was another
meeting at the Erie Office, after which McHenry,
S. L. NJ. Barlow, counsel for the Erie company,
and myself, proceeded to the Victoria Hotel,
where Barlow drew up a settlement, which was
signed by McHeury, after the terms had been
carefully reconsidered. This was about l o'clock.
Shortly after we had lunch, and 1 drove, with
McHenry, to the dock of the Cunard line, where
the Servia was lying. AS soon as he went on
board, McHenry was met by a large number of
his friends, who had come to see him off. While
he was bidding them farewell, Hanford, one of
Fries lawyers, came up and gave him a personal
note from President Jewett, in which he ex-
presse himself as well pleased with the result of
the negotiations. The Servia sailed about IF
teen minutes afterward, and no officer of the
law was seen by any of the party. 81 have no
doubt, Riley added, that preparations had been
made to play the usual snap-game and prevent
McHenry sail ing in case the agreement was
not signed by them. There was
probably a deputy marshal on board at the time
with a warrant, as l happen to know that one
had been issued, but he did not show himself. "
Mr.. Riley continued: 9Th value of the securi-
ties transferred to the Erie company by Nc
Henry l am not at liberty to answer. Mr.. Jew
EFT can make the terms of settlement public if
he sees fit. l cannot do so. 1t is sufficient for
me to say that Mr.. Jewett was perfectly satisfied
with what the company received

A Prisoners Living Statements.

JACKSON, Mich, April 9.-This morning
Thomas Scott, better knowna as "Scotty, y a we'll
known thief, in Jail here, made some pretended
revelations concerning the Crouch murder, stat
ing that he had seen at Minneapolis certain
papers supposed to have been taken from the
house the night of the Crouch murder. The
statement was made in the presence of the mayor
and prominent citizens. Scott refused to tell in
whose possession the papers were. The prose
cutting attorney then offered him S., 900, full par
don from the government, and a ticket to Liver
pool if he would tell the names of the murderers.
This he refused to do, and the committee de
parted, satisfied that ''Scotty" has been lying
from beginning to end.

%vention, each candidate is entitled to the dele
gates of the townships which he carried at the

LONDON, April AUTHORIZATION is received
that in official circles in Madrid no confidence is
placed in the story that United States Minister
Foster has started to Washington for the pur-
pose of talking up a commercial treaty between
Spain and the United States. 1t is not believed
in Madrid that the United States would consent
to become involved in the disputes that would
necessarily arise if the question of buying Cuba
should be preached, 1t is known at Madrid that
since Aguero started from Key West the Span
ish insurrection has gained considerable strength.
Nevertheless, The belief in the steadfastness
of Americas friendship is so strong
that there are no fears in official
circles of any movement on the part of the
United States or its diplomats to complicate
matters by even suggesting the purchase of
Cuba. AS to the other nations of Europe inter
fering, the good understanding between Ger
many and Spain will effectually prevent any
such movement.
A Madrid dispatch says: 'News has been re
ceived here from Cuba that Aguero's force now
numbers 225 men. Of these, fortythree are
either eX-chiefs of late instructions in Cuba or
have been otherwise identified with those move
ments; the remainder are escaped slaves. -Four
plantations have been destroyed by Aguero. 1t

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-Senator Vests attack
upon Secretary Chandler to-day, during the de-
bate upon naval appropriation in the Senate,
was startling in its severity although not alto
gether unexpected. 1t has been known for some
time that Vest intended assailing the integrity,
personally, politically and officially of Chandler,
but no one presumed he would go SO far as to
say that the Secretary could not be intrusted
with funds of the government. Mr.. Vest is an
eloquent man, full of invective, and he I'M
corked it to day and poured it out unrelentingly.
1t was a Democratic TRADE, pure and simple, and
intended to be used as a political document. He
blamed the Republican party with the failure to
have an efficient navy, but failed to answer a
senator who reminded him it was because of
the picayunish policy of Democrats in Directing
to every move looking in that direction. Mr..
Hale, who defended Chandler most calamity,
inquired of Mr.. Vest the reason the Democrats
had not taken steps toward reconstructing the
navy when they we're in the majority in Con-
gress. Mr.. Vest acknowledged his party had
temporary control of Congress, but excused in
action on the ground that the Republican ex-
ecutive would have interposed a veto. You
will never be in power again." interposed Vice
president Edmunds who occupied a seat on the
floor of the Senate. mo, not even fugitive con-
troll, " he continued amid laughter. Democrats
do not generally indorse Mr.. Vests speech.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-"There is not the
least doubt in my mind that the House will re
fuse to even consider the Morrison bill, much
less adopt it," said Representative Bayne, of
Pittsburg, tonight. II have only heard of but
one Republican who favors consideration of the
bill. He is Kasson, of Iowa. Kasson has a
theory that it is better to let the Democrats
talk-to give the calf all the rope it wants, and
it is sure to break its neck. The theory of all
the other Republicans that 1 have heard express
themselves is that the party has already broken
it's neck. The Democrats are in a hole, and
they want to explain their position. We won't
let them"

with thirty-three Democratic votes We will
have a majority. 1 am sure that when the bill
is called up on next Tuesday there will be more
that fifty Democrats who will vote with the Re-
publicans against taking the bill up"
DO you think the vote on the wool bill indi-
Gated anythingl"
No; nothing. I know of members who voted
against that bill who will also vote against the
Morrison bill. Besides. the Morrison bill an
tagonizes a great many more interests than the
wool bill"
"What do you think of Hurd's theory, that by
putting the wool duty down you increase the
price of the home a~rticle"
Its silly. There is no use talking, the
products Of this country must be protected if
we keep our workingmen above the level of
those in England"
A great deal of comment is being made in con
gressional circles about the actions of Colonel
Morrison in regard to the printed testimony re-
lating to tariff and labor before the committee
on ways and means. 1t appears that it is withal
a very damaging document to the free-traders,
and as soon as it came to the Capitol from the
government printing Office, Colonel Morrison had
it all sent to the committee-room and it has
been suppressed. A Republican asked to have a
thousand copies more printed, and Mr.. Mills, of
Texas, second on the committee on ways and
means, objected. There is enough practical ex-
perience related in that testimony to convert
every Democratic laboring man in. the country

opinion that it is unwise for Congress to attempt
the exercise of that power; that every citizen of
the United States should be the exclusive judge
of his own personal and moral conduct, so long as
he does not interfere with the rights of any other
citizens and the peace and good order of society;
that parental guardianship established by the
government over the private conduct and habits
of the individual would be dangerous to liberty,
and could not and should not be successfully
maintained in this country"
