Lieutenant Schuetze's Long Journey to North

Lieutenant Schuetzes Long Journey to North
eastern Siberia.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept 8.-The telegraph, on Fri
day, announced that Lieutenant Schuetze of
the navy had reached Toomsk, on his Journey
to the Lena Delta. Lieutenant Sehuetze, it will
be remembered, was commanded by the United
States to carry the presents voted by Congress
to the inhabitants of northeastern Siberia who
were instrumental in aiding the survivors of the
jeanette expedition and those who went to succor
them. The first point for which the Lieutenant
will now make is the town of Yakootsck, which is
the capital of the province OF the same name.
He will present to the Governor magnificent
sword, which was prepared from Schutze's
design, and will then proceed on his north Inward
journey. 1t will be several weeks perhaps sew
eral months before he reaches the limit of his
trip, and this journey from Toomsk onward
will be performed almost entirely upon sieds,
It will be eight or ten months before Lieutenant
Schuetze returns whom he will have performed
the feat of traversing upwards of IL, 900 miles
upon sleds. 1t is doubtful if there is another
officer in the navy who would relish this trip in
the heart Of a Siberian winter

federate brigade had its reunion at Cleburne, on
the 9th and 7th days of August. Col W. D.

Grand Army of the Republic, was there, and

have been arranged for and no pains will be
spared to make the return of the colors as i'm

Talk of Cabinet Changes and Revolution.

LONDON, Sept. 8-Though the report that
Gen. Lopez Dominquez has succeeded to the
head of the Spanish government is not verified,
1t is the general belief that he will be appointed
premier. He is the only general who is able to
suppress the present popular agitation, or if out
of Office could counteract King Alfonso's desire
for peace with Germany. He is very able
officer, and has great influence with the army in
either direction.
A Paris dispatch says majority Of the news
papers in that city expect that the strong anti
German feeling provoked throughout Spain by
the Carolines affair will result in revolution in
that country, as the people manifest a hostile
feeling against King Alfonso and his Ministry
for their actions respecting the German occupa
tion of Yap.
Ex-Queen Isabella, of Spain, in aninterview ex-
pressed herself as very hopeful of an amicable
settlement of the difficulty between Spain and
Germany
The Spanish colony in Paris meets daily, to
discuss the Carolines affair. A studious auies-
cence has been decided on, SO as not to dsobey
the order of the French government forbddng
anti-Germany demonstrations by Spanish resi-
dents in France.
A telegram from Madrid states that General
Lopez Dominquez has submitted to the pressure
brought to bear on him and has accepted the
premiership.
The Paris Figaro and the Gaulois state that
the commander of the German gunboat who re-
Gently occupied Yap has been ordered by his
government to evacuate it.
Private letters to London have brought intel
ligence of certain details Of the riots in Madrid
which are very ominous and which have hitherto
been suppressed All kilograms from Madrid,
Valencia, Saragossa, and other censers of dis
turbance, have lately been subjected to a censor
ship Of phenomenal severity. 1t is now learned
that at every anti-German demonstration
there have been loud cries of Down
with the Uhlan Colonel" referring to King Al
fonso. 1t is also known that many officers of
the Spanish army have taken solemn oaths
never to order their troops to fire into an anti
German crowd. There are indications that
Prince Bismarck is becoming seriously annoyed
by the continual demonstrations against Ger
many in Spain and other countries. 1t is stated
that Germany has formally protested against
the violent language of the anti-German press in
Belgium.
According to trustworth intelligence received
from Vienna, the Carlsts are actively on foot
and are not only numerous but also well sup
piled with funds. They watching their op-
portunity, and if the situation should not i'm
prove, they are determined to steal march on
the Republicans. This should not be without
influence on the same portion of the population.

UNAUTHORIZED WARRANTS.
Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars Worth Is-
sued by the Trustaes


sued by the Trustees.
WASHINGTON, Sept 8.-There are some new
developments in the Daviess county trustee
frauds. Grimsley, Brown and Clark. the abscond-
ing trustees, have been seen aud interviewed in
Hamilton, Ont. Mr.. J. G. Billheimer, one of
the attorneys of Washington, went to Canada
shortly after they disappeared and came across
them in Hamilton. Mr.. Billheimer, who has
Just returned, says: when l arrived in Hanil-
ton Ont, found three of the gloomlest trustees
| ever saw in my life They looked sad and
forsaken. but offered no apologies or explanation
concerning their scheme. They blamed Chi
cago party for good part of the mischief.
don't believe the three trustees have much left;
but I think the Chicago man beat them out OF
about all they raised on the fraudulent warrants,
because the paper was made out to his order and
he made no promise tc hand over the money to
them as he disposed of the papers. 1t is fact,
however, that neither of the three could approx
innate how much paper they had issued.
Grimslev told me that his warrants if gathered
together would fill room ten feet square OF
course he exaggerated this, but he said it in a
grim, discouraged way. as though he had played
the devil while he had the opportunity. l don't
think there is less than 800 900 in warrants in
excess of these three townships. The total
amount cannot be estimated at less than $780,
000 for the three townships. The men feel bad at
being banished from home and kindred, but they
will never be heard of on American soil again.
The Chicago man is the chief schener and ne
will never dare to show his head he no donos
has made an immense sum of money In TINS way.

conficted with that Of her mother. She con-
fessed that she did not go to sleep when the
handkerchief, saturated with chloroform, was
applied to her nose, during what was called 'the
momentary surprise" of medical examination.
Mrs. Armstrong was cross-examined. She was
bold. defiant ard vulgar, and abused Mr.. Jarrett
and Mr. Russell, counsel for defense. The
witness admitted that she had been three times
fined for being drunk once for an assault and
once for using obscene language on the streets,
and that she was drunk the night Eliza departed
from home, but became intoxicated after the
girl left. The court then adjourned until
Saturday.

Sustains the Ministry.
MADRID, Sept. 8.-An authorized report is
published that, at the Cabinet council Senior
Canovas de Castillo told King Alfonso that un-
less he trusted the Ministry he would summon
Senior Segasta, whose energy would probably
bring about rupture with Germany and in
crease the popularity of King Alfonso. At the
same time. he deprecated such a course until
diplomacy had been exhausted. King Alfonso,
without hesitation, decided that he had conf
dence in Senior Canovas's Cabinet, and would
maintain it in preference to popularity with the
people at the expense of bloodshed. His Majesty
was convinced that Emperor William would meet
him half way in his desire for peace. King
Alfonso telegraphed Count Benomar the
Spanish ambassador at Berlin, accordingly.
Court and official circles are confident that
either by means Of an arbiter or negotiations
Spain will retain possession of the Caroline
islands.

NOVEL NEWSPAPER VENTURE.
Fifteen Washington Correspondents to Con-
tribute TO 1t.


Washington Special
A meeting of about fifteen resident correspond
ents of newspapers was held last evening to
formally consider the scheme for weekly
newspaper, which has been for some time under
consideration. The new enterprise Is very
novel one. 1t is proposed that each one of the
associated writer's shall contribute one article
each week over his own signature, in which he
shall have full liberty to express any opinions
or ideassof which he may be possessed. There
will be no editor to pass upon or reject communi-
cations from the associated writer's, and each
one will have full swing. The American News
Company has agreed to take hold of the paper,
and it is expected that the first number will be
issued about Nov. l. 1t promises to be very
interesting publication and it certainly ought to
succeed There will be plenty of people who
will want to see what many bright and able
writer's will have torsay each week Mr. Weight
man. of the New Orleans Times Democrat has
been an active leader in the enterprise.
