THE BANKRUPTCY BILL.
Uncertainty to Whether 1t Will Be Ap-
proved by the House.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April 24.-The talk among mem
bers of the House to-day does not warrant the
prediction that the bankruptcy bill will become
law. There is very good chance for the
measure, however because of its forward posi-
ton on the calendar 1t has passed the Senate
ldentically the same bill has been reported to
the House favorably from the Judiciary commit
tee. 1t can be thus seen that the advocates of
the bill have been shrewd and have allowed no
opportunity to escape But it has many oppo-
nents. The feeling on one side or the other has
not been clearly developed in the House. It's
friends predict, confidently. that it will go
through. But there is a .welldefned opposition
to any bankrupt law. 1t comes principally from
the South and West. AS the Southern and
Western members combined constitute a large
majority of the House, its passage is by no means
assured although not all the Western and South
men will vote against it.

A NOVEL TELEGRAPH SYSTEM,
The New Plan Which Has Recently Been Ex-
hibited in the City of Boston.

BosToN, April PA new telegraph system
by which the present code is simplifed has been
exhibited here. Chemically prepared paper
moved by clock work receives the record of sig
nails sent over the lines, which are represented
by dots and dashes as in the Morse
code On the moving strip of paper rest the
points of six fine iron wires or styluses, and the
chief feature of the new system consists in en-
abling the operator at the transmitting station
to make a signal through whichever one of the
six styluses he may choose. although only one
line wire is used, and in this way to make the
position of the mark which is recorded in the
chemical paper play part in determining its
meaning
The new system is the application to teleg-
raphy of the system of notation employed in
music. just as the pitch of half-note is de-
termned by the bar in which it occurs, so a tele
graphic character is by this method given six
different meanings, according to the stylus
through which it is sent and the position in
which it is recorded. The bars of the staff are
ruled by copper styluses, which make red line
on the receiving strip as it is moved forward, q
constant current from local battery being
passed through them for this purpose. When
message is to be sent by hand six keys are used
at the transmitting station, each corresponding
to one of the styluses at the receiving station or
points may be employed. AS each signal has
six different meanings, according to the bar on
which it occurs, only one sixth as many are
required as in the Morse system, and for these
the shortest and simplest are selected. Thus, a
dot is used for the six letters which occur most
frequently. In this way the actual time occu-
pied in making the signals required to send a
message IS reduced fully one half from that re-
quired by the Morse system, so that the speed
of transmission is doubled.
Among the advantages claimed by the new
system are the readiness with which it is
learned, the ease with which message can be
translated after it is received. and the impossi
blity of stealing it from the wires during trans
mission by the use of a sounder. The process
of sending messages has been still further sim
plified by machine just completed, in which
each letter is given separate key, by the de-
preston of which the proper signal is sent over
skill to send message than to operate type
writer.

The Secretary of the Navy Vigorously De-
Tended by Mr.. Call1ins.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 14-Mr Calkns laid
down some wholesome doctrine in the House
this afternoon. He showed the Democrats
wherein they are false economist, hypocrites,
and deceivers. Mr.. Cox, of New York, had at
tackled the Republican party because it had not
provided a better navy long ago. yet he opposed
the Senate's amendment to the naval bill pro
viding for steel cruisers. He did that, he SAID,
because he did not think Secretary Chandler
the proper pers son to disburse so large sum of
money.
Mr. Abram S. Hewitt, Cox's colleague thought
we should have better navy, but he, too, would
not trust Chandler. Both these distinguished
Democratic exponents cast reflection upon
the honesty and integrity of Secretary
Chandler until Mr.. Calkins arose in the defense
of the Secretary He said it was an easy
matter to besmirch public official. to charge
him with dishonor; that it was something any
one could do to rise on end and yell, fraud,
thief ETC., but it was quite another thing to
locate ito prove it. He did not at first think
much of our present Secretary of the Navy, he
said, but since he had had dealings with him he
concluded him to be as compe tent and honest as
any man who had ever filed the positon--yes,
he was the best Secretary of the Navy this gov
ernment ever had. He pleaded for protection of
our great coast cities; said he came from the in
terror point that could not be reached by for
eign ships; no property could be destroyed in his
distlictby foreign foe nor life taken yet he
would vote for navy that became the dignity
of our great country and sufficient
to protect the millions of property and
lives in the great cities, now helplessly
exposed to the attack OF the weakest nation on
earth. He would do this, Notwithstanding the rep
resentatives of those marts in Congress would
oppose it. His speech was entirely extemp ore
and was the most forcible he has delivered this
session.
In conversation tonight Mr.. Hewitt acknowl-
edged that he was much Inundated to find, to-day
thai she records of the Treasury Department did
not bear out his charge that Secretary Chandler
was guilty of crooked dealings in that he had
failed to account for several hundred thousand
dollars received for old ships belonging to the
government, which he had sold. AS as Mr..
Hewitt made the charge Mr.. Calkins tele-
graphed to the Secretary of the Treasury to as
certain the facts in the case Immediately a re-
ply came back that the money had, several
months ago. been turned into the treasury. Mr.
Hewitt may apologize

CONCERNING NATIONAL BANKS.
An Investigation that VIII Result in Needed
Amendments to the Present Statute.

Speclal TO the indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, April "a The Pacific Bank in
vestigation, while not establishing exactly what
stockholders desired, has not been without re-
suits. The banking and currency committee of
the House will report bill amending the laws
IN relation to national banks that will very
likely prevent future disasters of the Pacific
Bank variety. Judge Buckner, chairman of the
committee, has prepared several sections of the
proposed BILL which will be submitted to the
full committee at the next meet
ing. They provide amendments to the
Revised Statutes relating to national banks:
First by defining more definitely the powers of
the Comptroller of Currency and leaving less to
his discretion than at present Second, it will be
unlawful for banks which have been granted au-
thorty to increase their capital stock to use any
portion of that increase for the purpose of pay
ing old debts. Third whenever bank holding
a United States charter shall become involved
or whenever the stockholders demand an inves-
tigation, it shall be the duty ofthe Comptroller to
cause an examination by a competent examiner
who shall not be the regular examiner for the
district in which the bank is located. There
will be several other provisions but they have
not yet been definitely formulated

Even when the whisky is made there legally it
is on small scale. Therefore the people are

fought should tax their little whisky production.
Now, John D. White is always getting in the
