An Important Discovery Concerning that
Clock for Kansas City.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Aug 23,-M. E. Bell, the
supervising architect of the Treasury, is very
much worried over the little affair of the clock
in the Kansas City building. After asking for
$4,000 with which to complete all the work
required on the building, and which he said
would be ample to allow him to purchase clock.
he was given $4,000 by Congress- and then ex-
pended it ALL according to his own statement,
for some purpose other than the purchase of
clock. His failure to keep his promise in this
direction stirred up the people of Kansas City to
such a pitch that Mr.. Bells very

unpleasant, and now. to cap the climax. persist

Prado, with banners and other emblems.
Speeches were made in Spanish and French,
denouncing Bsmarck's action in annexing the
Caroline Islands. The chief speaker was a
Spanish colonel in full uniform. A procession
marched through the chief streets, arousing
great enthusiasm. Opposite the Prime Minis

but he did not appear, and the cheering changed
to bowling. Several men scaled the balconies,
and planted national flag amid storm of
enthusiastic cheers. All the clubs. including the
military and the Arsto, displayed banners. The
procession was headed by Democratic leaders. 1t

constantly employed since the 18th of last Sep
tember. when they met for organization in New
York; have travelled 80, 900 miles, and officially
visited nine different countries Colombia,
Nicaragua and Honduras were omitted because
of revolutions; Bolivia could not be visited be-
cause her ports were bockaded, and Paraguay
and Brazil because of instructions sent by Sec
retary Bayard for the commission to return by
July last. The commission reports that great
deal of interest was shown everywhere in South
America In their work; and even In Chill, where
the government did not show much cordiality
towards the United States, the citizens were
hOspltable, and the merchants did everything IN
their power to facilitate the commissions work.
In Uruguay and the Argentine Republic much
disappointment was expressed because the visit
was necessarily shortened by the instructions
from the department. In order to complete their
work in these two countries, the commission di-
vlded, Judge Thatcher remaining in Uruguay
and Mr.. Curtis visiting the Argentine Republic.
By this means they were able to devote ten days
to each country. The capitals of these countries
being opposite each other the river Plata,
the commissions could hold consultations and
on occasions when it was deemed necessary, both
were present at official interviews with the Iep-
resentatiyes or merchants of either country.

A Ruling that Deprives News Dealers of
Certain Benefits.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23-The laws enacted by
Congress are frequently so worded as to make it
necessary that they should be construed by a
competent authority, and in consequence, in
many instances, these laws are made to have an
entirely different effect from that originally
intended. A case in point is the act Of June g.
1884 fixing the rate of postage upon transient
newspapers. This act provides that newspapers
and periodicals of the second class, when sent
by otherS Than the publishers or news dealers,
shall be sent through the mails at the rate of l
cent for each four ounces Until this law was
enacted newspapers and periodicals, which were
not sent from the office of publication OF news
dealers, were rated as mail matter of class three
The law was intended, by those who formulated
it, to allow any one to send a newspaper
or magazine through the mails at one
cent for each four ounces, or fractional
part thereof 1t seems, however, that under
the ruling of Postmaster general Gresham,
there is one class of individuals who are barred
from the privileges of this law. The news deal
ers do not come within it's provisions. Publish
ers entitled to send their mail matter out at
pound rates. and all sample copies may be sent
at the same rates, which is now one cent per
pound. The news dealers. under the extraordi
nary construction given to the act of June 8,
1854, by Postmaster general Gresham, must,
therefore, continue to pay one cent for each two
ounces, provided the postmaster or his assistant
at the mailing Office happens to know that the
matter dumped into the mail-box is really mailed

Socialist Deputies To Be Prosecuted.

BERLIN Aug. 22.-Prince Bismarck has or

receiving payment for officia. services through
contributions of their party. He bases his action
on Article 32 of the Constitution, which says
members of Parliament must receive neither
salary nor indemnity for services rendered in
Parliament. The defense will take the ground
that the article refers to payment from the
budget. and that the empire does not interdict
nav assistance.
