The Offer of Cowboys to Russia.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-There has been some
talk among army people about the proffer made
by cattleman in New Mexico to the Russian
government, of the service of 100 or more
cowboys to be used in the campaign againsv the
British in case war is declared. Before the
owner of these cowboys was known the story
was utterly uncredited, but now it is learned
that 1t is authentic, and that the man who makes
the offer is a Polish Jew. It was not
creditable that any American could offer to go
into this business and there is some relief to
find that the man who did so is an alien, and a
poor one at that But still, there is a very bitter
feeling against the thought of turning citizens
OF the United States into mercenares, and sell
ing their blood wherever the most money can be
obtained. 1t is not likely that the government
would allow the expectation of these terrors of
the plains in case the pending negotiations
should be successful, and it will probably be
many years before a similar attempt is made.

a GREAT QUESTION SETTLED.
Mr. East Says Mr.. Hendricks Will Not BE a
Candidate in 1883.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3-Mr Hughes East
private secretary to Yice-president Hendricks
referring to the frequently published reports
crediting the latter with desire to secure the
Democratic presidential nomination in 1885, said
to your correspondent: Governor Hendricks
has desire for more political honors, He is
entirely satisfied with the treatment he has re-
ceived at the hands of his party in 1876 and in
1884. He will never again be candidate for
anything He realizes that he is growing old,
and he will be content to retire in 1889 from all
political excitement. The Governor knows that
he stands we'll with the people of Indiana and
he is willing to end his political career as
Vice president. The statement that he is setting
up the pins for the nomination three years hence
is absurd He has no such idea and will not be
