The Friends of the Measure Not Disheartened
by Defeat.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June J6-As indicated in these
dispatches, the friends of the Hennepin canal
are not disheartened because the House struck
from the river and harbor bill the appropriation
of 5000, 900 to begin the work. They say the
House distinctly voted an approval of the prof
ect, but that it merely indicated that it was out
of place when the provision came from the river
and harbor bill
Objection comes to the Hennepin canal even
from Illinois 1t is alleged that it is intended as
an outlet for the filth pools of Chicago, and that
it is Chicago scheme. Then it is asserted that
if the Hennepin canal is indorsed and aided by
Congress, the Delaware ship-canal, the Mary
land ship-canal, the Nicaraguan, and all other
canal schemes which stand upon similar foot
ing must be aided 1t is improbable the Henne-
pin canal will ever receive congressional aid Its
projectors design that it shall be a ship-canal
with capacity for ships of 2sO tons burden.

A SENSATION IN THE SENATE.
Sharp Passage Between Senators Ingalls,
and Brown.

WASHINGTON, June 16-In the Senate, to-
day, Mr. ingalls, rose to { question of personal
privilege He read from the debate of last Fri
day on the bill relating to the claim of the State
of Georgia for money expended for the common
defense in 1777. He objected to certain words
which, he said, had been inserted in the hand
writing of Mr.. Brown in the official reporters
manuscript of the debate, and which, Mr..
ingalls, claimed, had not been spoken in the
Senate He said he was willing to submit to
the fortunes of daily debate, whether of victory
or defeat, but was not secure against Parthian
arrows that a flying foe might see fit to
discharge from the safe ambush of
a printing house. The words objected to WERE
''his monopoly of which we have no right to in
fringe, referring to what Mr.. Brown had called
one of Mr.. Ingalls's characteristic speeches. y
and the words ''he will not so state" referring
to one of the legal points arising in the discus
sion. This mode of warfare, Mr.. Ingalls, CON
tinued. was eminently safe to the one who waged
it, but it was not satisfactory to the victim Mr..
Ingalls, inquired whether the senator from Geor-
gia Mr. Brownl was satisfied he used the lang
guage quoted.
Mr.. Brown replied that it was his recollection
that he used it.
MI Ingalls, asked whether he did not after
the debate was over and the report prepared for
the printer, deliberately interpolate the words
into the report of the proceedings thereby fasi-
flying the record and committing forgery upon
the records of the Senate. Sensation.
The Chair said the Senator was out of order.
If he had any accusations to make, he should
make them in different way.
Mr. Beck (sotto voce)-I would not answer
that
Mr. Ingalls-The language was not uttered in
debate, and was not susceptible of offense in in
depreciation.
Mr. Brown--I decline to make any reply to
that.
Mr. Ingalls, supposed he would.
The Chair-The Senator from Kansas is out
of order.
Mr. Brown addressed the Chair.
Mr. Ingalls, have the floor, / believe
The Chair agreed that Mr.. ingalls, had the
floor, but that, in the opinion of the Chair, the
Senator's remarks imputed improper conduct to
another Senator "If there be no objection, :"
the Chair added, the Senator will proceed in
order"
Mr. ingalls, said the mode of attack referred
to required about the same amount of courage
that was exhibited by Thug who waited until
his enemy was asleep and then stabbed

THAT MYSTERIOUS $3.50, 900.
Probability that the Public Will Presently Be
Told III About 1t.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Secretary Freling-
huysen has communicated with Governor Cur
tin, chairman of the House foreign affairs com
mittee concerning the mysterious Senate amend
ment to the consular and diplomatic appropra-
ton BILL appropriating $3.50, 900 to carry out the
provisions of the neutrality act, and an arrange
ment has been made by Mr. Curtin and Mr.. Ran
dali for joint session of the House foreign af-
fairs and appropriations committees, to be held
on Wednesday morning to consider what acti on
should be taken in the matter by the House.
The question to be discussed is, whether, finding
the appropriation a proper one, they should
simply recommend concurrence in the Senate
amendment or should introduce a resolution in
the House calling upon the Secretary of State
for all correspondence relating to the matter and
give it to the public that they may understand
the transaction. 1t is thought the latter course
will be followed.

Why Certain Indiana Congressman Think
His Nomination Necessary.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 16-The Indiana Demo
Gratis have urged with so much persistency the
on the ticket that those in other States who op-
pose him say they are anxious for him only
because they feel that they cannot pull through
in their congressional districts without more
than ordinary support from the head of the
national ticket. The Indiana Democrats are
thus charged with selishness, and it is being
used in some quarters with little effect
Said New York member to-day: "McDon-
aid is being doomed by the Indiana members in
Congress and by Senator Voorhees, because they
want some help in their districts. We can't af
ford to imperil our chances of success by taking
Western man merely to help through some
frightened congressman"
The Hoosier statesmen have come to the con-
clusion that this is one of the best arguments
that can be used in favor of McDonald's nomina-
tion and they are pointing out his acknowledged
strength at home by this illustration.
Among the most ardent advocates in the Indi-
ana delegation of Mcdonald are Senator voor-
hees and Representatives Lamb, Wood and Mat
son--the latter three in districts won by fighting
alone. Kleiner, of the First district, is for Nc
Donald, but not so ardently as those named.
Klelner feels secure in q reelection, it is said,
however, if Mcdonald is at the head of the ticket,
or tariff is not made an issue. The Indiana
Democrats believe McDonalds name would off
set the tariff, though.

with their hearts full of hope for their success.
AS liberty first found birth ON the Atlantic
slope, we'll may it there have found
true hearts for its preservation not only in this
country, but for the preservation of that liberty
which God intended for all men. Let that
which followed as result of its preserva-
tion not now be lost This can only
be done by keeping control of the institutions of
this country in the hands of those who fought to
maintain them. This people believe in the
fundamental principles of republican govern
ment. The same rule also applies in
their selection of agents for the administration
of the government The aoce of great majority
of Republicans of this mighty nation has chosen
as stannard bearer for that great party inthe com
ing contest for the presidency of the United
States, your fellow citizen, James G. Blaine,
and you need have no fear as to the result
of the contest. 1t will be glorious victory, full
and complete. Illinois, in 1860, gave to this
country its first Republican President Maine
was then associated with Illinois. In 1884, Maine
will give as gallant President to this Re
public as has been elected by this people.
Citizens of Maine, feel honored and compG-
mented by being associated on the ticket with
man worthy of the confidence of the people and
in every way capable of filling the high Office of
President with honor to himself and to tn
country" Tremendous applause and cheers for
Logan.
Senator Hale was called for and responded
briefly. At the close of his remarks loud calls
were made for Mr.. Blaine who appeared at the
door and gave cordial invitation to all present,
as many as could do so, to enter the house
and take General Logan by the hand. The re-
eeption lasted until late at night.

Something About the Political Records of
the Committee of One Hundred.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 16-A good deal of COM
ment has been made upon the character of the
''bolters" at Boston announced in the dispatches
of Saturday as appointing committee of one
hundred to confer with the boilers IN New York.
Mr.. G. F. Towle well-known Bostonian,
speaking of the political records of the men
composing that committee said to-day that he
was personally acquainted with almost every
one of them, and that among them all there was
not single good Republican; that among the
leaders were those who were leaders in the
Democracy in Boston three and five years ago.
that several members of the committee had
been federal ofice-holders, but had been kicked
out of place, since when they had been recog-
nized as boilers or Democrats.
No one here places any stress upon the action
of this 'bolt," or the alleged 'bolt" in New York
In the latter place the "bolters" are not wanted
by the Democrats, and as Tammanylte said to-
day, '"They have left their independence to die
tate the men the Democrats must nominate, but
they are recognized by neither party"

Democrats Worried Over the Rumor that
Blaine Will Speak in That State.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 16-Democratic senators
and members from West Virginia have worried
considerable during the past few days over the
report that Mr. Blaine would go ON the stump
during the campaign in their State. They have
revived the reports concerning his business in
terests there, and repudiate the assertion that
he has any claims upon their people. A gentle
man, familiar with Mr. Blaine's business mat
ters, says that the Plumed Knight has no other
interests in West Virginia than coal Mines and
that his railroad connections in that State end
with dictatorship in one road. The real fear
the Democracy have of Blaine in West Virginia
comes from the fact that he once expressed the
opinion that there was portion of the States
bonded Indebtedness that grew out of national
affairs and should be paid by the government
1t is reported here that Blaine will not speak in
West Virginia.

ognized by the Constitution, by municipal,
State and national laws, and he charged the Re-
publican party with the baldest sort of repudia-
ton in setting the slaves free without paying for
them. This speech taken in consideration with
his Dover speech, causes Southern Democrats
to pause in pressing Mr.. Bayard upon their
party. 1t is ascertained that the volume of the
Congressional Globe containing Mr. Bayard's
speech on the funding bill, urging payment for
slaves, had been in such large demand during
the last few days that not single volume was
left in the Senate library. and inquiry showed
them to be in the hands of both Democrats and
Republicans Mr.. Bayard is unquestionably
ruined as presidential aspirant.

Special to the indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, June 16-There have been rep
resentatives of Tammany here during the past
two days, workin against Clevelands nomina-
tion for the presidency. 1t is now positively
known that Tammany opposes Cleveland, and
the fight has been very spirited here during the
time indicated The work has been done mostly
through those Democrats in Congress who are
expected to attend the Saratoga con-
vention on Wednesday next Orders
have been issued which are unmis-
taxable, that Cleveland could not harmon
ize the party within his State, and the impress
sion is growing that it will be out of the line of
probabilities for the party to concentrate upon
any New Yorker. Broakley, an intelligent and
active Tammanyite, said to-day, that it will not
be twenty-four hours after Clevelands nomina-
tion until Tammany Hall would write defeat
upon its outer walls. He expressed the opinion,
also, that the only way to bring the party to-
gether in New York was to go outside for the
head of the ticket and give them the tail, ''for
then we will have nothing to quarrel about" he
added
III is conceded on every hand that the queSton

out of the way the drift of opinion is that the
party will go West for leader and East for its

of no uncertain character brought by those of
