Mr.. Cook and Bis Report in the Chalmers
Manning Case.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-There is trouble be-
tween the Republican members of the House
committee on elections and Mr.. Cook, of Iowa.
Mr. Cook is an Independent Democrat. With but
one exception the committee was in favor of
seating Mr.. Chalmers in the Chalmers Manning
contested election case. Mr.. Cook was directed
to prepare the report, but he delayed it several
weeks Representative Miller, of Pennsylvania
called attention to the delay in the House, the
other day, and offered resolution, which was
declared to be out of order, directing that the
elections committee report at once on the case
Finally Mr.. Cook made report,
with accompanying resolutions that Mr..
Chalmers is entitled to his seat.
1t is now discovered that Mr. Cook turned his
report into campaign document. 1t savagely
attacks the administration, saying there was a
trade and an unholy alliance between Mr.. Chal-
mers and the President; it also attacks the
private character of General Chalmers. The
committee was thus placed in tho position of in
dorsing the report of Mr. Cook There has been
some pretty plain talk with Cook by the Repub-
lican members Of the committee, who have told
him plainly what they think of the transaction
Mr.. Ranney, of Massachusetts, went to Cook and
told him that, for one, he wished to enter his
protest. and notified Cook that when the case
comes up in the House of Representatives he in
tended to expose the entire scheme. The prob
ability is, there will be heated political debate
before the matter is disposed Of

If Hendricks Will Not Run for Governor, the
Democrats VIII Take Voorhees,.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, June 23.-Indian0 Democrats
have not by any means abandoned the idea of
running Ex-Governor Hendricks for Governor of
that State, Notwithstanding his declaration that
he would not listen to any such proposal Says
this evenings Star
Senator Voorhees, and several other promi-
nent Democrats of Indiana left the city, last
night, bound for Indianapolis, to see Mr.
Hendricks They will urge upon him the duty
of making one more sacrifice for his party, but
those who know the Ex-Governor we'll,
and there are Indiana Democrats who
still consider him the biggest man in the
state, MAINTAIN that he will
not listen to any persuasions of the
kind They say he has never done anything but
make sacrifices for his party: that he made his
last race for Governor against his own inclina-
tions and to pull the party through, looking
ahead to the national convention for his reward.
1t is known that he most unwllingly consented
to run for Vice-president with Tilden 1t was
only after most persistent urging that he
assented. In 1880 his claims to the presidential
nomination were not only ignored, but he was
asked to withdraw from the field that an
other Indiana Democrat-M MeDonald-m light be
named. 1t is not unnatural that he should feel
sore, and unwilling to again make sacrifice to
pull out of tight place party which has man
are hints that Mr.. Hendricks considers himself
just as good presidential timber as his party can
find, and he cannot reconcile himself to be
passed by for Mcdonald. One of the old Dem
ocratic workers of Indiana-a man who
has never held any prominent position
himself, but who for years has been
in the confidence of Voorhees, Hen
bricks. Mcdonald, and other big men
and who is so popular in his own county that
within the last few years he abandoned a po-
sition to go home and run for the Legislature,
as the only Democrat who could beat the Re-
publican candidate, to-day said think
Hendricks will consent to run when we all show
him the Importance of it It's his wife tnat puts
him up to the notion that he has been sighted;
she persuades him that he ought to have the
presidential nomination, and it is under her in
huence that he has said he will not run for Gov
ernor. We hope to get him on the ticket YETI
but if he won't run know one Just as good who
will Dan. Voorhees, will head the ticket. He
never pulls back when his party pulls forward,
and there's no man that can stir Indiana Demo-
Gratis up like him. If Tom Hendricks won't run,
then we will put Dan up and sweep the State"

Instances in Which the Democrats Refuse
to Pay just Debts.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-The Attorney gen
eral sent to the Senate, to-day, communication
in which he called attention to the failure to
provide in the general deficiency bill for defici-
encies under various bureaus of the Depart
ment of Justice. Among these are defici-
ency of 100000 for fees etc., in mar
shals Offices for which the House
only appropriated $4,000, and deficiency
of $4,000 for final payment of special attorneys
employed in the prosecution of the Guiteau case.
Referring to the amount required for final pay
ment of the attorneys in the Guiteau case, the
Attorney general says: 1T appears to me the
failure to provide for their payment for services
in that case is national reproach {"
He also calls attention to the proviso in the
House bill limiting the use of the money therein
appropriated to the payment of district attor
neys and their regular assistants and excluding
payment to special counsel heretofore employed.
He says he thinks this proviso is MUST to
special counsel, who have served the govern
ment in good faith.

Probability that He May BE Barred from the
Floor of the House.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WAsHINaToN, June 23.-Congresssman Mil
lard, of New York, who prepared the minority
report on the English investigation, says that at
tempts to whitewash the elder English will
probably fail. The House to-day ordered the
testimony printed, and it is expected that when
it Gomez from the printing Office tomorrow, the
membets will see very plainly that Mr.. English
violated his privileges and that he
should be barred from the floor
in future. Cases of attempts at
intimidation are frequent, and bulldozing was
the order of the English Peelle campaign The
testimony of Mr.. Peel of Arkansas, was to the
effect that English threatened to "get even"
with him if he persisted in voting against his
son. and it is shown that English succeeded in
persuading Potter, of New York, not to speak
against the contestant although he failed to pre-
vent him from voting in favor of Peelle. In
view of the evidence, several Democrats-one
from Indiana, Englishs own State-say they
will not become parties tos the whitewashing
scheme

over his channel tunnel project, despite the ad-
verse majority of 1873 in the House of Commons

Duke of Cambridge, the commander of the
forces, and of Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, presi-
dent of the Board of Trade. correspond.
ent saw Sir Edward at the Reform Club, last
night, and in reply to a question as to the Com
mander-in-chiefs objections, said, emphatically:
81 do not care twopence for the Duke of
Cambridges opinion. l will make that tunnel
in spite of his opposition and that of Mr.. Cham
berlain."
''What about the adverse vote in the House in
May"
''That was obtained by the lobbying of the
coast railway companies. The cause of their
hostility is very obvious, for who would cross
the channel in their wretched little steamers if
they could go under it by rail in a safe tunnell
As far as that opposition is concerned, time is
our best ally. Pulic opinion and public needs
already require the tunnel, and they will soon
demand it in voice that will be unmistakable
and irresistible"
1.-THE Duke of Cambridge asserts that there
are military reasons chat would make the con-
struction of tunnel between France and Eng
land inexpedient and even dangerous"
just so, but L am willing to set against that
notion of his the opinion of the Duke of Well
ington. 1t is we'll known that he favored the
project of an international tunnel, and believe
that the English people still regard the hero of
Waterloo more capable strategst than the
present commander of her Majesty's forces,
even with Lord Wolseley thrown in"
