the caucus.
''You are evidently pleased" observed your
correspondent
"Why should I not be-" he replied. at was
all we could wish, since a tariff bill was agreed
upon. That move of Hopkins's lets us vote for
the BILL when it comes up in the House, vote
against it. If it does not please me when it
comes to passing it l shall vote against it."
''You consider the adoption of the resolution

of the members Morrison concessionF
II most assuredly do and he moved on down
the corridor, still smiling and receiving congrat-
ulations from members of the third house who
hung round the lobby.

eyes; 1 do not like the proceedings of to-
night. 1t is not my way of doing things We
should have adopted the bill without any pro
visos. The caucus should have adopted my
proposition to entirely abolish the tax on fruit

We had the votes to do it. But the bill will be
finally passed, anyway"
"By what vote2"
''Well we can stand thirty votes against it,
but there will not be more than twenty-five
against it."
DO you expect the Randall men to oppose the
bill in the House9"
There may be the number have mentioned
who will oppose it."
The Democratic members from Indiana, ex-
cept Messrs. Stockslager and Cobb, who are at
their homes, were at the caucus, and all present
voted for the Morrison bill in toto except Mr..
Lamb, who stood by Mr.. Randall throughout
The journal correspondent was told by two of
the Indianians that it was an exceedingly bitter
and breezy meeting and that considerable ill
feeling was shown. There is no enthusiasm
shown by any of the members who participated
in the caucus. They feel that they are not so
well off before the country as they were yester-
day, and that hope for final harmony has fled.
Mr.. Randall received, to-day, dispatch from
the lumbermen in Michigan who are Democrats.
The dispatch stated that it was evident that
many Democrats in the House had deserted
them, and begged him, for Gods sake, not to
desert them tonight in caucus, but to hold out
to the end
Mr.. Carlisle tonight received dispatch from
General Robert Toombs, of Georgia, asking him
to stick to his tariff policy the proper course

The Auenstinian Suits.

LAWRENCE, Mass, March 25.-In the Angus
tinian trials, to-day, it was announced that ten
cases against st. Mary's Church had been
three cases against the Immaculate Conception
Church. The plaintiff Ellen Leahy, testified that
she understood when she deposited the money
with Father O'Kritt that it was for church pur-
poses and that Archbishop Williams was respon-
sible therefore. The Archbishop took the stand
and said that he recognized no law but those of
the United States Most of the legal titles to
the church property iE the diocese were held by
him. He agreed with Dr. Smith that the bishop
was an universal parish priest, and there were
no parishes according to canon law. The powers
of the priests had been delegated to them. The
contracts for the deposits in question were made
before he became bishop.

Working Time and Wages.
PoRT RICHMOND, Pa, March 25.-The coal
troubles in the Schuylkill, Lehlgh, Wyoming
and Lackawanna regions are becoming even
worse than has been previously reported The
continued suspension of operations and half-pay

and murmuring among all classes of mine-op

formed a protective union similar to the old
Miners and Laborers' Benevolent Association,

A Statue of Garfield.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March "a proposition to
erecta statue to the memory of President Garfield
has met the approval of quite a number of the
committeeman of the House and Senate, who
must pass upon the request of the monumental
committee of the Society of the Army. of the
Cumberland for a 100000 appropriation, and
there is likelihood that it will be erected this
summer Ground will be secured for the statue,
and it will be put up as soon as the funds can be
secured. There are statues on the squares and
in the parks and public buildings here of nearly
all the famous generals and other men who have
figured prominently in war and executive circles,
and considering the manner in which the death
of Garfield was brought about, it is surprising
that the move is not further developed.

Further Details of the Rough Voyage of the
New Steamer Chateau Margaux.
TORONTO March 25.-The log of the steamer
Chateau Margaux gives the details of a terrible
voyage The Margaux left BOrdeux with pro
visions for only twenty days. but, meeting the
Norseman, she secured some provisions, but
could get no other help. OF the 1lth inst. the
wind blew terrible gale, and immense waves
swept continually over the vessel, carrying off
everything above the decks and damaging that
portion about the works. The gale lasted three
days Several vessels We're sighted, but were
unable to help the Margaux on account of the
high sea and her own rudderless condition. All
these, however, gave all possible encouragement,
and attempted to render assistance The
steamer Oregon on the 18th took off three of the
cabin and forty five steerage passengers.
On the evening of the 18th another heavy north
wester raised the waves to a mountainous
height rolled and pitched the vessel and threat
ened to swamp her. There was great terror on
board and at times the steamers boilers shook
in their stands. 1t seemed certain that they
would break loose. On Saturday last, when
about 25O miles from Halifax, the steamer Gale
donia, after some demurring, took her in tow
and brought her safely to port. The Margaux
is nagniicently equipped boat and intended
for direct New York trade.

THE FALL OF BACNINH.


Marquis Tseng Characterizes 1t as Simply
an Evacuation by the Black Flags.
LONDON, March 25.-The first and only utter
ance Of opinion the Tonquin question from
the Chinese side since the capture of Bacninh by
Gen Millot was made to-day TO a correspondent
by Marquis Tseng, the Chinese ambassador at
Paris. The veteran diplomat as fiery and
vigorous as ever, and his manner no less than
his language implied the utmost confidence in
the ability of China to hold her own against the
French, notwithstanding the temporary success
of the latter
He was asked first as to the effect upon the
situation of the fall of Bacninh. and he replied
promptly:
1T has not changed the situation in the slight
est degree, as far as China is concerned. The
French practically as far from the Chinese
frontier as they were the day before they en-
tered Bacninh, and it is not likely that they
will ever get much nearer"
How do you account for the easy capture of
Bacnnh by General Alllot!
''It was not capture. 1t was simply an evae-
uation by the Black Flags, of place that was
unessential, strategically, and its occupation by
the French"
''Where will the next stand against the ad-
vance of the French be made"
THE French papers are now talking very con
fidently of their expected capture of Hung Hoa,
campaign, etc. Well, they have not captured
Hung Hoa. and it is certain that they will not do
so without 4 struggle in comparison to which the
previous contests will seem trivial 1t is at
Hung Hoa, if the French attack that place, that
the first real engagement of the campaign will
be fought The town is strongly garrisoned; not
by Black Flags but by we'll drilled soldiers Of the
regular Chinese army, and. if the French to
get possession of it, they must bring larger

have shown in any of these preliminary affairs

meantimethe retahatorym have remained
in statu quo, and now nothing can be learned
definitely in regard to them. 1t seems to be the

there will be nothing of a desperate nature

that the old plan of ducking the American eagle

the plan whenever the scream of the bird was

WASHINGTON, March PA few weeks ago
the House was decidedly warm upon the subject
of retalatory legislation against Germany and
France for the embargo placed upon the Amer
lean hog. Not less than five committees have
had at one time or another, bills or resolutions
looking to retaliatory measures before them, and
for while it seemed that something desperate
would be done by the American government for
the insults which had been heaped upon our fa-
vorite animal. Delegations came here from Chi
cago and other western points, and speeches
were made demanding redress upon every occa-
sion. Then the Lasker incident took the lead,
and for awhile it seemed as though
war would be declared against Germany.
