Comment Among Indianians Concerning the
Alleged Statement of MIR. Voorhees,.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec 23.-In Indiana circles. to-
day, much comment has been made upon the
reported statement of Senator Voorhees,, that it
was probable that the nomination of United
States District Attorney Lamb, Marshal Haw-
kins, Internal Revenue Collector Henderson and
Postmaster Wadsworth, of LaPorte, would not
be confirmed. No astonishment seemed to be
expressed, as it was we'll known that charges had
either been preferred against these ofice-holders
and filed with the Senate committee, or notice
given of their preparing. A few, however,
remarked the early discovery of the SEN
ator and his frank observation about it. The
Journal correspondent has talked with some
of the ablest lawyers in the Senate on
the case presented by Postmaster Bagley,
at LaPorte. It is held that he can serve out his
term, because his suspension was not completed
before the Senate met, and when the Senate is
in session the appointee cannot supersede the
man in possession of the Office until the formers
nomination is confirmed. If an adverse report
can be made upon the nomination of Wadsworth
before the expiration of the present commission,
Wadsworth will not be permitted to take the
Office at all.
Hoosier Democrat who has been here some
time is quoted as saying that he has it from the
best authority that mono of the Indiana nomi-
nees will be confirmed against whom charges
have been flied. He believes Senator Voorhees,
opinion was well expressed, and spoken only af-
ter careful study of the situation.

The Trouble Between Pittsburs's Chief of Po
lice and the Austrian Consul.

The Trouble Between Pittsburs's Chief of Po-
lice aud the Austrian Consul.
WASHINGTON. Dec 23.-The outcome Of an
international affair, which createdl considerable
stir at the time of its occurrence, is now made
public in the dispatches sent by the President to
Congress- Mr. Schamberg, the Imperial royal
Hungarian CONSUL" in Pittsburg, Pa, on the
18th Of August, 1884, hoisted the Austrian Hun
garian flag over his doorway, in honor of his
Emperor's birthday. Mr.. Braun, chief of police
of Pittsburg, ordered that the flag be removed.
and referred to local regulations which forbid
the hanging out of swinging signals" as street
obstructions. Mr.. Schamburg in virtue of his
rights under the treaty of 1870. refused to re-
move the flag, and it remained floating till sun
set. The fact first came to the notice of Baron
Schaefer the Austrian minister at Washington,
through the newspapers, and he called, as he
says himself. "ofhcienichment" upon Mr.. John
Davis, Assistant Secretary of State, who re-
ceived him, the Baron wrote very courteously,
and disapproved, without hesitation, the con-
duct of the chief of police of Pittsburg." Mr..
Davis, however, did not then think it necessary
to write to the Governor of the State" about it.
When the Baron had received the
sular report Of the affair he addressed
the Secretary of State. Inasmuch, he said,
as the flag had remained untouched he would
like to attribute the affair ignorance on the
parteof the offending Official but the latter, in
| stead of declaring his ignorance Of international
courtesy and asking to be excused for the mis-
take, went so far as to sue the consul for il
fringement of local laws by disobeying his or
ders. and to demand the arrest of the imperial
royal funcrionary. "You will therefore" wrote
the Baron to Secretary Frelinghuyson, ''be so
kind, as higher authority to cause the chief OF
police in Pittsburg, he having acted officially, to
be also officially and severely reprmanded,
and to instruct the local authority with
respect of treaty rights and international cour-
tesy which lesson would, as it Seems, do them
much good and avoid, in the future, disagreeabie
troubles" Mr.. JehH DAVIS, acting Secretary of
State, Acknowledged the receipt of this letter,
and promised to cause an official investigation.
A second note from Mr.. Davis to the Baron in
cludes copy of a letter from the Governor of
Pennsylvania. and statement of the mayor of
Pittsburg. at appears, wrote Mr. Davis that
no insult was expressed. implied or intended in
the case. and now that the local authorities have
been made aware of the full extent of the con-
sular rights under the treaties, it is presumed
that all due Difference will be paid to them in
future.n

ment But. as you see, have no room.
When asked if such constant supervision was
required to enforce special dietary rules in hy-
drophobic cases, M. Pasteur replied:
''No special dieting is not necessary, and no
rules of life need be enforced except such or
dinary laws of hygiene as would be insisted upon
by any physician if the patient were in his own
home. But the symptoms of hydrophobia in its
incipient stages are subtle and mysterious.
Many important changes slight in their
immediate effects that they hardly attract the
attention of the patient and if discernible after
ward to DOCTOR the description is apt to be in
accurate. Then the disease is SO mys-
terious and variable in its development
that the doctor is apt not to attach
the true value to the symptoms as described to
him. For these reasons every case of hydro
phobia should be carefully and continually
watched by specialists, not only for the benefit
of the individual patient but in tho interest of
medical science"
The Professor was asked about the young
French girl from Algeria who died under his
treatment He replied:
You must understand that the degree of sue
cess which l look for, as well as the manner and
extent of the inoculations, is proportionate to
the time that has elapsed since the patient was
bitten. In the case you speak of, four little
girls were bitten by mad dog in Algeria.
Three of them were sent to me forthwith and
were discharged, thoroughly cured within fifteen
days. The fourth was sent q month later and
she died of rabies"

DRIVEN FROM WORK BY STRIKERS.
Coal-Miners Attacked and Driven to Their
Homes by Band of Armed Strikers.

PITTsBURG, Dec. 23-About o'clock this
morning seventy-five masked men put in an ap-
pearance at the old Eagle mines of Brown & Co.,
near Monongahela City, and as the working
miners approached the mines they were halted
and compelled to return to their homes, under a
heavy fire. Tie strikers seemed more desperate
than upon any previous occasion. All were
armed, and at least twenty five shots were fred
Superintendent Jones, of the old Eagle mines,
said the strikers had evidently lain in wait the
greater part of the night, in the woods near the
mines, as they were not observed until they
rushed down the hillside, firing their revolvers
and guns. The workmen were badly frightened
and ran for their lives. None of them were shot,
but number were injured. In their eagerness
to escape, several men, whose names were not
learned. jumped over small precipice and
were quite seriously hurt After all the
miners were driven off, Superintendent Jones
took charge, but he was also compelled to retreat
under threats of bodily harm. At IL o'clock all
was reported quiet, the strikers having departed
shortly after daylight 1t is said that the work
ing miners at the old Eagle pits will be supplied
with arms to-day, for future protection.
A later dispatch says the strikers are still in

farmers to reduce the rent of their farms the

any reductions without suspending the works in
