The President of the Reichsrath apologized to
the journalist aggrieved, but the apollo

ernment is astounded at the bold
ness of the publishers in depriving
their readers Of what politicians regard as the
most important news of the day. Some officials
are urging the Reichsrath to retaliate by with
drawing government advertisements from the
newspapers, and establishing more rigorous
censorship of the press.

LONDON Jan. 3O.-The inquest on the BODY
OF Captain Armstrong, of the British bark Wei

on Monday, was held to-day at Plymouth. The
testimony showed that Captain Armstrong.

tended to poison him. A brother of Captain
Armstrong deposed that the Captain had been
abstemious all his life; that he had been a
mariner tw9enty- five years, and never knew of a
quarrei with his crew. Ultimately, four mem
bers of the Wellington crew-Charles Patterson
first mate), John Summerdyke, Jrgen Jorgen-

of killing the captain. Jones stated that the
wrong persons had been seized, and that the

Earle Making Satisfactory PrOgress-General
Stewards Wound.
LONDON, Jan. 30.-General Wolseley tele-
expedition to Berber, by the river route, was
making satisfactory progress The advance
scouts exchanged shots with the enemy near
Berti.
The most absorbing topic now in London clubs
and newspapers is the wound received by Gen. Sir
Herbert Stewart during the battle of the 10Th
inst. Most of the newspapers accept with con-
fdence Gen. Wolseley's cheering dispatch re-
garding Gen. Stewards condition, but the medi
cal journals are more cautious. They deprecate
what the call undue optimism in forcasting the
result of the Injuries, and recall the fate of
President Garfield to show that there is still
large element of danger in the case of the
wounded commander at Gubat. One writer says
"fhe American President was shot from be-
hind by coward. Gen. Stewart was shot from
the front by plucky foeman. But this is the
only dlnerence between the two cases, as far as
Is KNOWN except that the rifle bullet which en-
tered Gen. Stewards groin is larger than the
pistol ball which plowed through Gen. Gar6eld's
back. Both went to nearly the same nlace in
the body OF the sufferer, and the blood poison
ing which supervened in the one case is more
than likely to occur in the other. Guiteau's
shot proved fatal after many weeks Of suffering
stoically endured, and after the best efforts Of
skilled surgeons had been exhausted President
Garfield was aided by the physicians in conceal
ing the extent of his suferings, so as not to in
crease the shock of the American people Is it
not possible that Gen. Stewart, whose forti-
tude under all circumstances is unQuestionable
is doing the same thing to relieve the anxiety of
Englishmenp

Efforts to Secure an Increased Appropria-
tion for Fort Wayne.
Special to the indianapolis JournaI.
WASHINGTON JAM 30.-To-day Secretary Nc
Culloch transmitted to the House of Representa-
tives letter from Supervising Architect Bell
calling attention to the necessity of an additional
appropriation for the public building at Fort
Wayne. In his letter Mr.. Bell says: ''The pres
ent amount of limit for the public building at
Fort Wayne, now in process of construction, is,
in my opinion, quite inadequate for the erection
of building with fre-proof construction, such
as the needs Of that locality and the best inter
ests of the public service imperatively demand
In ordering that the work may be proceeded
with advantageously and economically, the limi
tation should be- in my judgment, enlarged at
the present session of Congress in the sum Of at
least $75, ,000."
Secretary McCulloch observes in his letter of
transmittal that the recommendations of Super
vising Architect Bell that the appropriation be
increased to $l75, 900, is matter of necessity,
and should be responded to by Congress at this
session. Mr.. Bells letter was brought ont by
Judge Lowery, who has been working some time
for an appropriation for the Fort Wayne
building, and who mas the bill providing for it
in charge. Judge Lowery said to the Journal
correspondent that ho would use every effort to
secure recognition on the floor of the House on
next Monday, so that the bill could be considered
and he had no doubt Of its passage if considera.
tion could be secured. So far, it has been i'm
possibleto induce the Speaker to recognize mem
bers with public building bills. Should no fail

INDIAN DEPREDATIONs.

Liability of the Government.

Difference of Opinion in the House as to
Liability of the Government.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30-To-day, while the
House was considering private bill for payment
of Indian depredations, the whole subject Of
payment for that character of claims was briefly
discussed. Mr.. Holman took the position that
the government should only be held liable where
there were treaty funds belonging to Indians
from which payment could be made.
Mr.. George, of Oregon contended that this
was narrow view, and made an extended ar
gument in favor of the governments liabil-
ity, even in case there are no
treaty funds due Indians. Mr. George
cited precedents, and argued that the whole
theory and practice of legislation on this sub
ject committed the government to ultimate pay
ment of Indian depreciation claims He said that
for years Eastern representatives had voted
money from the Treasury in payment of claims
of that character along their own border, and in
view Of that historical fact he regarded it as un-
just now that depredations on the border are
removed from their immediate vicinity to deny,
through their more numerous representation
the claims of Western sections.

He has sent for Messrs. Carlisle and Randall,
and it is understood that he will send for other

Some Democrats arc so much alarmed ut the
situation that they begin to think it may be
necessary to have an extra session of Congress
to get the party together at the earliest praeti-
cal moment To do nothing between now aud
the 4th of March, and then go on doing nothing
until next December, is to throw away nearly
year of Mr. Cleveland's tenure of the Presidency
and to leave only single session, sure to be
spent In confusion between now and the next
Congressional election.

A Democrat remarked to-day that Mr. Cieye-

remember that in 1867 Mr.. Tilden had no hesi-

doubt he was reticent about the measures for
deciding the election. I remember distinctly,
for instance that the Texas Pacific Railroad lob

even the habitues of public houses defending OF
attacking Lord Wolseley's tactics
The boldest of these military critics is Lieu
| tenant-general Sir Edward Hawley. This Off
Ger had horses shot under him at Alma Bala-
klava and Inkerman. He directed the military
operations under the Berlin treaty, was in the
Egyptian war of 1882, and is author of tine novel
on which part of the play of "Rosedale' is found
ed SIR Edward Hawley writes to the Times to
say that he is strongly against squares in bat
tie. His views, which are interesting to the
great military American public, may be thus
summarized
Sir Edward argues that unless the front rank
is lying down, position it could not maintain
when the enemy comes close to the side at
tackled it delivers fire small in proportion to
the number of rifles, while the sides not attacked
deliver none Should the square be penetrated,
then 1t becomes mob, because the recoiling
troops are pressed back upon the other forces
The troops forming three sides of the square
have their backs to the enemy who havo sue
ceeded in getting inside, and such of the men as
face inward to meet the attack cannot fire
on the enemy without firing into the opposite
side of the square He thinks it desirable to
ascertain how far the losses in the late action
were caused by the English fire during the me-
lee. When the whole brigade is placed in a
square the chances of disaster are immensely
different rcgimental command, unaccustomed to
act In such close association. while the extent
OF the space occupied renders it difficult for the
brigade commander to convey with sufficient
promptitude the orders necessary to insure an
ensemble even in movements of a simple kind
and impossible to effect chance formation when
engaged with an enemy in much better forma-
ton, such as echelons or half battalions or even
double companies.
The fact that the broken face of General
Stewards Of accfu
resistance is strong reason for supposing that
echelon lines take care of themselves. At any
rate they could always form square with
much less risk and disadvantage.
Many military men here agree with him, Int
others regard the square as menacing and awe
inspiring to semi -barbarous foe, as was proven
near Metemneh General Hawley is not cordial
