House of Representatives.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE senate bill
passed extending the time to commence lay-
ing an Atlantic cable.
The house went into committee of the
whole on the river and harbor bill, and Mr..
Maybury called the attention of the commit
tee to the necessity for prosecuting to com
pletion the work Of improving Detroit river,
but was unsuccessful in an effort to have the
appropriation for that river increased from
100000 to 1927, 1000.
The clause providing for the construction
of the Hennepin canal having been reached,
Mr.. Jones, of Wisconsin, raised again the
point of order that the committee on rivers
and harbors had no jurisdiction over the SUBJ
ject, and that bill with substantially the
same provisions was pending in the house.
Mr.. Holman supported the point, arguing
that the subject of the Hennepin canal was
within the jurisdiction of the committee for
railways and canals. He made the further
point that the clause was not in order, as it
provided for new work not authorized

HE~CALLS THEM GROVE AND TOM
How WOuld-Be Influential Politician Paid
the Associated Press to Boom Him.

NEWARK, n j. Nov. 22-Matthew G. Eaton,
who claimed to be a nephew of ex Senator Eaton,
of Connecticut, has caused a sensation by bring
ing suit against VIM Shurts for part of the
expenses of trip to Chicago to attend the ma
tional Democratic convention. Both are promi-
nent society men and members of the jefferson
Club, political organization composed Of the
leading Democrats of the city. AT the trial
Shurts claimed Eaton hired an Associated Press
reporter to 60 with him and puff him in the
press. Eaton also induced Shurts to pass as his
private secretary in order to impress ex-senator
Eaton of his Importance.
When the party reached Chicago, ex-senator
Eaton gave his alleged nephew letters to promi-
nent men to deliver In case that Cleveland
could not be nominated they were to boom
the ex Senator. Mr.. Shurts claims that the
ex-senator always addressed NJ c. Eaton as Mr..
Eaton. He also says that Nj. c. Eaton tried to
pass as an influential politician and that it cost
him several thousand dollars to do it.
After the convention Eaton proposed trip to
Yellowstone Park, in Dakota! J. AS a matter of
convenience Eaton suggested to the Associated
Press reporter that passes might be secured
The reporter got passes, and the party went to
Yellowstone Park On their return Eaton told
the reporter TO stay in Chicago and he would
send him money to return. This he forgot to do.
By strange circumstance the reporter hap
pened to be in Newark to-day, and Eaton had
him arrested for obtainng money under false
pretenses. The reporter expostuated, but was
held in bail. The trial will be resumed on
Wednesday next. Eaton is looked upon as an
eccentric individual He is about thirty years of
age, and is possessed of considerable means
His main object in life seems to be to pose as an
influential politician. He calls the President
elect Grove and Mr.. Hendricks Tom" Mr.
Shurts is highly respected citizen. and senior
member of the firm of Vanalstine tH Shurts. The
newspaper man seems to be the most unfortu-
nate one of the lot His name is Orange Ste
vens and he is well known in New York jour
nalstic circles

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
w. c. Lyon, of Newark, O., makes public a
letter received from Rev. DR.. l.. NJ Wood
ruff, of Lacrosse Wis, formerly pastor of the
Fifth street Baptist Church, of Newark. The
letter gives the views of President-elect Cleve-
land on the civil-service reform, as stated to
Rev. Woodruff by Dr. Anderson, president of
the Theological Seminary, of Rochester, N. Y,
and given to Dr. Anderson by personal friend
and prominent Democratic politician of New
York We are assured Dr. Woodruff is a man
who can be relied upon Capt. Lyon asked his
permission to make it public, and it was granted.
Following is the letter:
IA CROSSE, November IA, 1884
II have just been to the Theological Seminary
at Morgan Park, to address the Students and
came from there after my lecture yesterday.
DIR. Anderson was there. He was a rabid Blaine
man, and had word to say to me of Grover.
He took DIR. g, and me one side to say it, A
friend of DIR. Anderson, prominent Democrat
in New York wrote him, saying; There will
be howl among the Democrats, forI went. with
two others, to see him in August, about the
Halpin scandal l thought he ought to ''vacate. !"
He sat in his room, and we asked him II the
story was true. He said Eyes" What for a
woman is Mrs Halpinlp "A good woman, all but
that. She wrote me, after my nomination, con
graduating me-here is her ,etter. She asked
me to get place for her boy, and have done
so."'
Before they went away Cleveland said: Gen.
tlemen it L am elected, shall obey the spirit of
the civil-service reform bill, and / have a right
to do so; it is the law of the land, and if
it is bad law let them repeal it; but so
long as it is the law l shall obey it, and
l am glad it is law, for think it is
right and besides, it would be a misfortune to
the country to change all the civil-service officers
l intend to be the President of the people of the
United States, inst as l have been Governor of
the people of New York, and both parties will
be disappointed in me in that particular but
shall be safe if l obey the law of the land,
and am going 10 do it and let the politicians
howl
This friend of DR. Anderson's who wrote
him of this interview, says he has no doubt but
that Cleveland will pursue the policy he volun-
tarily announced to them. He does not think
Cleveland ought to- because this is not the policy
of tine party that elected him; yet he says Cleve
land is bull headed and will do it.
II have doubt DR.. Andersons friend was
present at such an interview, and that he has re-
ported it correctly to DR.. Anderson who has
been his lifelong friend | believe Grover will
pursue the policy, and that men will howl. but
enough will gather around him to sustain him,
just as they have in New York Yours truly,
'r al. NJ. WOODRUFF"

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. % There is practically
TO protection within the power of the Senate to
those who fill term offices under the President"
said Mr.. John S. Henry, law clerk of the Post
Office Department, in conversation with the
Journal correspondent today. II have been
looking the matter up a little" continued he,
'and while the Senate can, after manner, pro
tect an officer until his term expires, it is unsatis
factory and impracticable. The highest courts
have held that the President may make an ap
pointment to fill an office, whether the term is
expired or not, during the recess of Congress.
If the term has not expired the officer super
seded may resume his duties after the 4th of
March following in the event Of the failure of
the Senate to confirm the successor appointed"
''Well, the President can Immediately after
that 4th of March or adjournment of Congress
again appoint the man whom tho Senate refused
to confFmY' inquired l.
Certainly replied Mr. Henry. NOW if Mr..
Cleveland desires to do 80, he can make appoint
ments at any time after the 4th OF next March,
to fill all the postofi5ss revenue, customs, DIS
appointees can go in and take possession of their
Offices as soon as their commissions arrive. The
Senate may, when it meets again. refuse or fail
to confirm these appointments. The next ses
sion of Congress following this winter will be q
long one, you know, probably extending into July
or August, so it would not be until Congress ad-
journed or at least until after the 4th of March,
and the Senate had refused to confirm, that the
old officer could demand his office that he
might fill out his term. BY that time great
number of the terms will have expired, too"
Suppose the new officers should refuse to va
cate for the old ones to serve out their termsl"
''Then suit in the United States Court would
have to be brought for possession of the
Offices"
'And the old officers would have to employ
their own attorneysr
SIZES. and before decision would be reached,
in all probability, Congress would adjourn
or meet, as the exigeneies worked against the ole
officer and it wouldn't make any difference to
him how the decision resulted"

tion in the Senate for tenure-of-office boldersl"

INDIANA MEASURES.
Bills of Importance Now Pending in the
Senate and House.

B1lls OF importance Now PENDING In the
Senate and House.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Nov % 1T is not probable
that many of the bills row before Congress af-
fecting Indiana and her people will receive con
sideration, as it appears now that the appropria-
tions and pensions, and two or three subjects of
large general scope will occupy the entire session.
For the information of those who are interested
in knowing what bills of special Importance to
Hoosiers are pending in Congress, the Journal
correspondent has gone over the calendars of the
Senate and House for December.
On the Senate calendar there is bill amend
ing chapter AGA of the acts of the first session of
the Forty seventh Congress- entitled, IAN act to
provide for public building at the city of Fort
Wayne" 1t was reported favorably by Senator
Vest, on June 80 last. The same bill is on the
calendar of the House, with favorable report
rendered April l. 1t is in committee of the
whole on the state of the Union, and may be
called up at any time when the House is in com
mittee of the whole.
A bill, reported favorahy by Mr.. Hopkins on
July is also on the House calendar and in
committee of the whole, providing for the pur-
chase of a site, and erection of public building
thereon, in the city of Lafayette.
On the House calendar is a bill authorizing
the increase Of the capital stock of the First Ma
tonal Bank of Wabash reported favorably by
Mr. Adams on February IL. On the private
calendar is a bill reported favorably by Mr.. Mat
son on July 2, for the relief of Harrison Mitchell
late of company K, Forty eighth Maryland Vol
unteers
The bin providing for the construction of a
public building at New Albany has been reported
from the calendar, but is undisposed of. 1t is
in jeopardy, like all bills of that character.

MINOR MENTION.

What the Incoming Democrats Say of Mr..
Hendricks's Late Speech.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. PA good deal Of com
ment is made upon Mr. Hendricks Brooklyn
speech by the incoming Democratic statesmen.
The comment is not favorable. 1t is held
by the bulk of the party leaders that
Mr. Hendricks is not progressive enough, and
that his remarks at Brooklyn are not in the ad-
vancing line the party must now take. 1t is be-
lieved, also, that Mr.. Hendricks banks too much
on the power of federal spoils, and desire of
the people for rotation in the administration
of the government
Personally, the Vice -presdent-eect is held in
very high esteem by the representative Demo
Gratis from all sections, but the idea grows that
he is of very old school l heard Virginia
representative say today that it was very
proper to put Mr.. Hendricks on the end Of the
ticket, as the tail ought to follow the head and
surely he was behind Mr.. Cleveland in politics.

Fear of the Democratic Policy.

New York Special.
A noted financier and originator Of schemes
some of which have been very famous and sue
cessful, told me last night in the Fifth avenue
Hotel that he was now IN a certain great West
ern scheme involving Mines and lands. and
ranches, and cattle ranges. He spoke of the gut
of manufactured articles and the consequent
shutting down in manufacturing aud non EN-
ployment of capital and labor. 1t will ho so for
some time to come IL is the Legitimate and ex-
pected result of the. accession to power of the
Democratic party, which brings uncertainty as
to the future in finance and governmental rev
enue and is supposed to mean eventually tariff
for revenue only, and an abandonment of the
long continued Republican policy of protection
TO American Industries and laborors All manu-
facturers are obliged to quit going on with
view to things remaining as in the past extend
ing trade on the present basis, investing in raw
material or carrying out proposed improve
ment
This uncertainty and fear has always depressed
business Just before national election and has
been followed by an elastic revival after tho re-
suit was known and the party in power, with
known and settled policy, was found TO be con
tinued in power. Now it is different. The usual
revival and healthful rebound does not follow
and now, for the first time the American people
will find the curse has como upon them. They
have walked to the edge SO often that they
ceased to realize what fatal depths were beyond
and into what predicament ono more step
would prccipitate them. Everything is upset

Hendricks May Have Helped in Indiana, but
-s He Was a Drawback in New York.

Hendricks May Have Helped in Indiana, but
He Was a Drawback in New York.
New York Times. i"'a- Ere VaH a.. .a
Now comes Mr.. Thomas A. Hendricks, of In
diana, who was dragged into the position of
-president-elect by the strength of the
head of the ticket, and in speech in Brooklyn
gives his idea of civil-service reform. II am
very free to say to you people tonight" he re-
marks. 'thatl am not particularly confident of
success after the school masters examination,
but will tell you what have confidence in as
it was in the days of Andrew jackson. Let
man come to be President of the United
States, and let true men be called
around him and aid him in the
public service. Let these men resolve that the
only qualification for Office shall be hon esty and
fitness for the service, and then you have civil
service reform" If we were to depend upon the
resolves of these ''true MEM of the Hendricks
order we should have nothing of the kind, but a
very prompt return to the spoils system But
Mr.. Hendricks is an old-fashioned Democrat, and
haplv he overrates his importance in this time of
triumph. The men who made Mr.. Clevelands
election possible would gladly have voted for the
head of the ticket without accepting the old
style appendage if the thing could have been
DONE Mr.. Hendricks and his friends did their
best to prevent Cleveland's nomination in order
that the Indiana statesman might himself stand
at the head of the ticket in which case the
Democratic party would have been once more
defeated, and the country would have suffered
the humiliation of Blaines election.
We doubt if Mr.. Hendricks's name contributed
in the remotest degree to the success of the
ticket. Possibly he helped to secure the vote of
Indiana, but it was not needed and certainly he
came perilously near causing the loss of the vote
of New York, which was needed, for the indie
pendents voted for him with reluctance, and
many Republican who hated to vote for Mr.
Blaine and was inclined to have confidence in
Cleveland would not vote for Hendricks at any
price. However as Byron remarks of Bishop
Berkeley's statement that there is no matter, it
is no matter what he says Mr. Hendricks
fortunately will not be at the head of the new
administration, and the opinions of the Vice
president are OF about as little moment as those
of any conspicuous person in the country. He
does not dispose of Offices, and he is not
even one of the "true men" whom the
President will call around him.
We are inclined to think that the influences
which controlled in the canvass and made a
Democratic victory possible will prevail in the
resulting administration. A dissonant voice here
and there, even though proceed frem the
Vice president elect has little force against the
general acclaim that there must be no retro
gression, no disappointment of the hopes of those
who have been working for reform and have re-
lied on the assurance that Clevelands election
denotes new departure of the Democratic par
ty. We are not going back to Andrew Jackson
as an exemplar of political methods.

afternoon to consider the proposed reduction of
wages ordered in the foundries of Robinson,
Rea & Co., and Garrison g. Co., but owing to the
limited attendance no definite action was taken.
The reductions will go into effect tomorrow,

The coal miners of the Pittsburg district will
assemble in convention here next Thursday. In
addition to considering arbitration for the rail
road mines and the fixing Of rate for river
miners there will be presented a scheme by which
the mines of the Kanawha in West Virginia,
will enter into a combination with those OF the
western Pennsylvania bituminous coal regions
The operators in this district have always held
that they were unable to compete with those of
the Kanawha region, and that the Kanawha op-
orators had the advantage of a lower price for
mining, which enabled them to undersell the
Monongahela coal men in the lower markets.
Secretary Flanner of the Pittsburg district,
