AN UNAVAILABLE TREASURE.
A Million Dollars that Indiana Might Have
Had Long Ago.

'There is" Attorney general Hord remarked
to Journal reporter yesterday more than a
million dollars due Indiana from the general gov
eminent on the war-loan claims. Ohio, Illinois
and other States have collected all that was due
them, and there is no good reason why Indiana
should not have received its share of the same
money many years ago. 1t has been available
for fifteen years. The other States have recov-
cred their money by allowing liberal per cent
for the collection. Ohio gave discount of 80
or IS per cent. Indiana would give nothing
and she has got nothing"
lis there not yet some means by which the
claims can be collected from the governments
1.-THE only way is to get a bill through Con-
gress authorizing the payment of the sum due.
| have called the attention of several Of our
Indiana congressman to the matter and suggest
ed that an effort to get such bill through might
result benefcially TO the State'
If the late infamous Legislature had devoted
an hour of its invaluable time TO the passage of
bill providing for the collection of this vast
sum of money, it would have been unnecessary
to have occupied three or four days discussing
the act which authorized the issue of bonds for
5000, 600, and it would have been equally unnec-
essary to incur an additional Indebtedness Of
over one million dollars.

CAPTAIN THOMAS PHELAN.
He Reaches New York and Seeks Protection
from the Police Authorities.

NEW YORK, April 27.-Capt Thomas Phelan,
the complainant against Short who attempted
to assassinate him in Rossa's Office, has disap-
pointed the Irishman's radical dynamite school
by returning East to prosecute the case. His
recent journey from Kansas City to appear in
court against Short came to cautious end, for
the Time two days ago. on the New Jersey side
of the Hudson. He sought secluded and, as ne
supposed, secure place of refuge. and decided
not to take the risk of appearing in New York
before it was necessary. Three detectives, who
are said to be among those who have done work
in this country for the British consul in matters
relating to the dynamite gang, were Captain
Phelans companions and guards during the
journey East. They and their convoy, it is al
legged, noted at different stages of the trip that
two men were keeping too close to them to be
entirely chance felow-travelers 1t was con-
pursuit of and watching Captain Phelan
Long before Jersey City was reached there
was no doubt among any of Captain Phelanis
party that they were under the surveillance of
men who represented his enemies. When they
arrived in Jersey City, it was thought that the
vigilance Of the two shadows had been eluded
and for two days Captain Phelan rested in
ldHcleu SECURITY. yesterday, however, ne De-
came convinced that his hiding place had been
discovered, and that from the house across the
street he had been carefully watched He took

who seems to be in the secrets of the radical
Irishmen, says that they know where the Cap
tain is, and will keep track of him wherever he
goes. This story is in active circulation among
Irishmen of both sides of the dynamite ques-
ton, and is common subject of talk among
them. Among officials it is more difficult to get
any to talk about the case. Superintendent Wall
ing however, being reused, last night, and
asked about it, refused information in such an
equivocal and evasive manner that there is no
doubt that there is something in it.

Among the recent discoveries in science and
chemistry none is more important than the uses
to which common ammonia can be properly put
as a leavening agent, and which indicate that
this familiar salt is hereafter to perform an act
I've part In the preparation of our daily food.
The carbonate of ammonia is an exceedingly
volatile substance. Place small portion of it
upon knife and hold over flame, and it will
almost Immediately be entirely developed into gas
and pass off into the air. The gas thus formed is
simple composition of nitrogen aud hydrogen No
residue is left from the ammonia This gives it
its superiority as a leavening power soda
and cream of tartar used alone, and has induced
Its use as supplement- to these articles A
small quantity of ammonia in the dough is
affective In producing bread that will be lighter
sweeter and more wholesome than that risen by
any other leavening agent When it is acted
that raises the dough is liberated In this act it
uses itself up, it were; the ammonia is en-
tirely diffused, leaving no trace or residuum
whatever. The light, fluffy, faky appearance
so desirable In biscuits, etc, and sought after
by professional cooks is said to be impaired to
them only by the use Of this agent.
The bakers and baking powder manufacturers
producing the finest goods have been quick to
avail themselves of this useful discovery, and
the handsomest and best bread and cake are now
largely risen by the aid Of ammonia, combined,
Of course, with other leavening material.
Ammonia is one of the best-known products of
the laboratory. If, as seems to be justly claimed
for it, the application of its properties to the
purposes of cooking results in giving us lighter
and more wholesome bread, biscuit and cake, it
will prove boon to dyspeptic humanity, and
will speedily force itself into general IN the
new field to which science has assigned it.
