Not Like King Humbert.

LONDON, Jan. 9.-It is stated that King Alfonso
at first refused to visit the scenes of the earth
quake disasters in the Spanish provinces He
based his refusal on the plea that his health was
still poor, and that the terrible sights which he
would be sure to witness might cause shock which
would result in relapse. At last, however he
yielded to the persistent entreates of his minis
ters. They told him that his presence would do
much good in the way of stimulating subscrip-
tions; they reminded him of the heroism of
King Hurbert in visiting the cholera infected
districts in Italy, and pointed out the love and
gratitude with which the Italian people of all
classes have since regarded their sovereign. 1t
is noticeable that up to the present time more
money has been subscribed for the sufferers out
side OF Spain than within the kingdom.

The Reichstag Opposes Bismarck.

BERLIN Jan. 9.--In the Reichstag to-day, the
budget committee moved that the proposed
credit of $50 900 marks for African colonization
be reduced by one-third Bismarck opposed
the motion, and urged prompt ac-
tion with regard to the colonization
project of the government, in order to anticipate
other powers The German people, he said, had
approved the colonial policy of the government
during the last two years. and it was reasonable
to suppose the Reichstag would vote
the additional credit for African explora-
ton. The colonial policy was the only one
possible, was supported by a majority of the
Reichstag, and had created enthusiasm through
out the nation The motion to refer the credit
to the budget committee was adopted 135 to
128, although both Bismarck and Van Boet-
ticher Minister of the Interior, strongly opposed

CAIRO Jan. GA messenger who left Oak
dul on Sunday, reached Korti to-day, with dis
patches for Wolseley. He fell in with armed ma
tives at some wells en- route, who treated him in
a friendly manner. The country for eighty miles
out from Korti is open, but beyond that point is
dangerous from the caravans of the Mahdi.
These caravans frequently crossed the road.
The native guide of the messenger further
stated that he had been sent from Gakdul to pur-
chase produce of the natives. but he returned
without anything, and besides reported that he
had been badly treated British scouts captured
four natives, who had left Metnameh JAM with
goods for Merawi. These men report de-
tachment of Gen. Gordons troops at Shendy.
Ell Mahdi's force at Metnameh is 1900 strong.
Major Kitchener, with few men, was scouting
near Abuhalfa, few miles this side of Gakdul.
He captured a small party of natives with cam
els. He went in pursuit of convoy of seventy
camels and fifty natives on their way to Ell
Mahdi. The natives at first showed fight, but
dispersed, uttering loud cries when the English
charged on them. None of the camels laden with
corn were captured

Seaman Seeks Aid on Account of Injury
by the Alabama.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9-An interesting claim
case has been for some time perplexing the Sen
ate committee on claims. 1t involves an old
principle of justice but raises new principle of
law William Fl. Whiting, in the fall of 1862,
was seaman on board the Levi Starbuck, port
of New Bedford, Mass, then engaged in a
whaling voyage in the South Atlantic ocean
Off the coast Of South America, while bound
southwark, the ship was arrested and captured
by the rebel cruiser Alabama. Whiting was
taken prisoner, put on board the cruiser, placed
in irons and deposited in the hold of the vessel
There he was detained for sixteen days, when he
was landed at Martinique. The hold of the
Alabama was dark, damp, cold and infested with
vermin. Escaping steam made respiration diff
cult, and Writings health was almost ruined
An officer added to his infction by striking him
with a sword. Whiting had partial paralysis
and for years could not feed himself He ex-
pended S., 600 trying to regain his health, and
when his means were exhausted he came to
Congress and asked for help. He asks it upon
grounds of charity first, and justice and law sec
ondly He says the government didn't properly
protect him.
Senator Sheffield has rendered decision in the
case. He says that while it appeals to his sym
pathies, Congress cannot undertake to indemnify
persons not in the public service who have been
injured by the late war, or to admit the
principle which would require the government
to make good in damages every injury resulting
to an individual from lawless violence. He fears
the precedent it would set, and reports against
the claim. Were there any funds in the hands
of the Alabama claim commission he thinks the
claim might be adjudicated there upon principle

Investigating Cherolxee Land Leases.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 9--Salmon Tuttle and J.
W. Hamilton, of Kansas, members of the Chero-
kee Strip Live Stock Association and sublessees
of lands held by that association, were exam
ined bT the Senate committee on Indian affairs
to-day. 1t was found that the association held
about g. ZOO, 900 acres, rented from the Cherokees
at two cents per acre, and the sub-lessees paid
two-and-ahalf cents per acre. Senator Harri-
son asked what use was made of the surplus.
Senator Ingalls, objected on the ground that this
was inQuiring into the private business of the
witnesses. He would not object, he said 20 an
inquiry as to whether any portion of the surplus
was paid in securing the lease. Senator Harri-
son maintained that his inquiry was necessary
to develop the facts in the case. The committee
went into secret session to consider the scope Of
further investigation.

RECIPROCITY TREATIES.
Summary of the Reasons Why Senator Nor.

Summary of the Reasons Why Senator Nor.
riIi Opposes Them.
From Report of His Speech in the Senate.
/ shall be constrained to oppose any legis-
lative action required to carry the treaty into
effect first. because as it appears to me. it is
incurably wrong, downright and fragrant in
vasion of the rights Of Congress- and Of the
House of Representatives, TO them exclusively
granted by the Constitution.
Second, because a fair Interpretation Of the
most favored ration" clause in all Of the treaty
compacts forbids it, and the controversies on
this point. which must strain our relations with
al friendly nations, should be carefully avoided.
Third, because the whole boundary line Of tho
State of Tamaulipas, on our border, has long
been, and is now, Zona Libre where merchan-
disc from all foreign countries is admitted duty
free, and the national government of Mexico
seems to have neither the power nor will to pre-
vent it, but since the date of the signrtures TO
the treaty has authorized by law its very large
northerly extension.
Fourth, because the treaty, if now made op-
eratlve, will impose an unlookedfor burden
upon farmers and planters bringing the whole
territory of Mexico into direct and untaxed COM
petition with our own people, and that without
any sufficient reciprocal or adequate compensa-
ton.
Fifth, because we have no opening presented
for the export of any class OF our productions
except in homeopathic prescriptions of no re-
spectacle magnitude and destitute of all national
Importance.
Sixth because it would be likely at an early
day to transfer the base of an incompatible
share of cattle-raising and of sugar. tobacco,
and other important American industries, to
foreign land.
Seventh, because it would show Mexico to be
the goal to-day from which we might start next
week for South America, and the week after for
Canada and the rest of manknd and would also
show that we are willing and earger TO accept as
a precedent for the future the far-reaehing inno-
walton of reciprocity treaties. though Of the
smallest merit and however undeserving ac-
ceptanee.

Unsuccessful Efforts to Break Up the Per-
nicious Practice.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The subject of hazing
at the Annapolis Naval Academy is exciting a
good deal of comment in congressional circles
1t is probable that an investigation will be had
of that subject and some guilty participants in
that fun punished by removal from the service
The provocation of all this talk was the death Of
Cadet Strang. Young Strang went to the acad-
emy from Oregon. He was duly initiated by
the boys, and was within twelve hours laid up iH
the hospital Shortly afterward he died. The
cadets said he hurt himself by falling out of a
hammock. To the contrary there is evidence
that he was fatally injured by hazing. He was
ridden on rail, rolled in a barrel, and pun
meled. This was in October last a year ago.
1t is alleged that although the greatest pre-
cautions are taken by the superintendent, it has
been impossible to either detect cadet hazing
''plebe" or find one who will testify against
others, notwithstanding they have sworn to
obey certain laws which prohibit the practice
1t is not a fear Of being proven perticeps crimi-
mis-, either, that oils the authorities. There is
fascination about the hazing that overcomes
everything. IT is believed that Wholesale dis
missals from the academy would forever break
up hazing, and that nothing else will

Death of Myra Clark Gaines, the Famous
Litigant.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 9-Mrs 1Iyra Clark
Gaines, the famous litigant, died at ten minutes
past Ii, tonight, aged so.
The first of the suits brought by Mrs. Gaines
tthen Mrs. Whitney,, was against the trustees
for some property left her by her
father Daniel Clark under his will
of 1911, which had been probated,
but eventually that was abandoned, as she
claimed to have discovered proof
of later will in which she
was recognized as his sole heir.
This will was never produced in court, but man
named Francois Dusnan de La Croix,
an intimate friend of Clark, testified
that it had been read to him by
Clark himself short time previous to his
DEATH and he was told it would be found
after his demise in little black box in the
room he occupied. AS soon as Clark
died de La Croix looked in the box for the will,
but failed to find il. This, however,
was the basis for the claim
which sne has prosecuted for forty
years against the city and others who had pur-
chased property of Relf and Chew, the admins
traitors under the will of 1911.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE..
A Commission the Most Popular Measure
for Its Regulation.

A Commission the Most Popular Measure
for Its Regulation.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9-There is very little
doubt now that the Senate will, within few
days. agree to an interstate commerce BILL and
that the one the House has passed will finally go
with it to conference committee, and the result
will be the adoption by both houses Of meas
ure of some sort on the subject. AS Senator
Harrison, of Indiana, said to me couple of
days since, the idea of a commission seems to be
the most popular and just proposition on the
subject Just what laws are needed to
regulate interstate commerce, so as to
satisfy the shipper and avoid injustice
to the corporations at the same time is a
very serious ques ton. There are no statistics
nor facts of any consequence before Congress af
fecting the matter. Each statesman has mass
of crude ideas and false opinions but no one
seems to have produced in the very lengthy de-
bates anything that has been of value in guiding
members or Senators in their actions
In the Senate it is very much desired that
steps on this subject be taken with caution.
Any violent act would precipitate panic, say
the senator's and it is only those in that branch
of Congress who can afford to move with suf-
cient independence to steer clear of anything of
that kind. In the House, where the members
are elected by the people, there is that constant
goading by the Masses that better judgment
must give way to the impulse of demand.
"a commission which will gather information
regarding common carriage, and lay before Con-
gress information upon which future legislation
may be based, is what the Senate wants." OBJ
served member of that body day; ''and
that is what think will be the result. To en-
act a lot of laws to be repealed or remain on the
statute books unnoticed, or laws that will throw
US headlong into a whirlpool of financial dis
tress, is folly. / look upon stringent interstate
commerce laws at this time in this light"
The representatives of railroad corporations
now here have not, am told by one of them,
been fighting bill creating a commission with
reasonable authority. They rather favor that;
but laws based on theory they are opposing
firmly.
