ST LOUIS, May lS.-United States Sen

Senator ingalls,, OF Kansas; Jones, of
Arkansas, and Morgan. of A ALBANIA,
members of the same commlC,ee, ana
take testimony in reference TO Indian
affairs.
Senator MaXey, in an interview this
afternoon, spoke as follows: see That
the northern papers. have been llll OF
accounts about trouble in Texas with
convicts, and the general impress
sion crested by Them is that
public sentiment in The Lone Star
state is opposed to hiring out convict
| labor by the government. Now, mat Is
all wrong. l never heard of such a
thing until came here. Noone objects
to convict labor in Texas, On the con-
trary, people rather favor 1t than other
wise. AT ali events, it is well
known that. the state has more c0nvlcts
than it can take care OF at the Two pen
| itentiaries, and considerable extra OK
pense is incurred by keeping them else,
where. Tne people are taxed for II, ana
naturally are only too glad when
the state officials can mako a
contract, hiring them out to farmers or
railroad companies. The talk that con-
vict labor conflicts with honest labor is
all bosh, so far as Toxes is concerned. IL
does nothing of the kind There Is
more than enough work there
for everybody in the state, the convicts
included. The only trouble Isl. not IN
the surplus of labor, butin lack OF 1t.
Anv good, strong, hOnaat follow
who goes TO Texas can get
work at good wages without
| the least bit OF bother, We only wish

"But, Senator, what GLASS Of citl1eUs

The Cisco Failure.

New YORK, January 15.-It was Off
cially announced, shortly after the close
of business, that the old banking firm
OF John ]. Cisco & Son had made an
assignment to Louis May, formerly OF
the,firm of May & King, bankers, who
is also assignee OF Halstead, Harnes d
Co., who suspended some months ago.
The firm was intimately connected tinan-
cially for many years with the Louis
vile & Nashville and Houston q Texas
Central Railway COMPANIES. Owing to
shrinkage of values of the above secur-
tiles. reports were started several days
ago that tie firm was embarrassed, al
though the report affecting its credit
were denied at the time. They led to a
steady and increasing run by deposit
ors, and it was deemed best for the ben
eft of all creditors to make an assign
ment without preferences, for the pur-
pose of gradual liquidation. AS gener-
ally believed this afternoon the matter
is rather in the nature of liquidation
than failure, as it is stated that all the
depositors will be paid in full, as soon
as the securities can be realized upon.
No statement has been made up. The
present partners are John A. Cisco, son
of John Cisco, and f. A. Foote. The late
John Cisco was for long period Urea
surer of the United States at New York.
All the moneys deposited with the firm
to-day will be returned tomorrow.

Democratic Caucus.

WASHINGTON, January 15.-Immedi-
ately after adjournment this afternoon,
the Democratic members of the House
of Representatives held short caucus.
TWAS announced that its object was
to agree upon a plan of work during the
remainder of the session. No plan,
however, was presented. Randall
said he had called the caucus
merely to acIuaint the members with
the condition of the appropriation mea-
sures. He was of the opinion that there
would be no disagreement between the
two houses of Congress. audsthat every
appropriation bill would be passed be-
fore the 4th of March. He
recommended that nothing be done
which would embarrass, in any
way the new administration. Speaking
of the naval appropriation bill for the
next fiscal year, he said that he be.
the Democratic party not to appropriate
money this year for an in
crease of +, the navy, as had
been strongly recommended. He
was in favor of increasing that
branch of government, but thought it
best to wait until next year. He thought
the subject ought to be referred to the
naval committee of the next Congress;
that that committee ought thoroughly
to examine the subject, prepare a plan
for the proposed increase, and submit 1t
to Congress.
O'Neil, Missouri, said he was friend
of the laborers of the country and was
in favor of voting for the appropriation
| of as much money as was necessary TO
keep the navy yards in operation.
Ellis said he believed the appropria-
ton for new navy should be
made this session, thereby preventing
the delav which will be carried by re,
ferring the subject to the naval commit
tee of the next Congress.
King offered resolution providing
that the Democratic members of the
House should follow the majority OF
the committee on appropriations. The
resolution was lost and the caucus adj

Confesses to Perjury.

LONDON, January 15. A sensation
was caused in London, to-day, by the
publication of confession by Mr..
Schotz, one of the principal witnesses
against Lawes, sculptor, in the libel
suit, brought against him by the sculp-
in the Court of Appeals, March 18th.
1884, in which the verdict of
the lower court, awarding plain
be remembered that Belt expected
Lawes' father, who is rich and had
always patronized his son in his pro-
fession, would save him from arrest, by
paying whatever damages were awarded.
But both Lawes and his father regarded
the verdict as grossly unjust and the
elder Lawes refused to recognize
it; while the son. to escape. had
himself iudicially declared bank
rupt. Schotz now cOnfesses that
all his testimony, which was
among the most material tor the plain
tiff, was perjured and the result of a
conspiracy entered into by him and
other witnesses for thspurPose of secur-
ing share in the heavy damages
assured by lawyers. Schotz' confession
was read TO the court during the exami-
nation into the law and the alleged
bankruptcy. In it Schotz claims to be
the author of Belts sketches and
models, and asserts that he and another
witness and Belt agreed to divide dam
ages awarded Schotz states that his
time-book, produced, during the trial,
was a fabrication.
