Colonel Morrison Thinks Mr.. Carlisle Will
Certainly Be Reflected.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-Colonel Morrison said
to-day that, in his Judgment, Mr.. Carlisle would
be elected Speaker of the House next winter
with little if any. opposition if it is true, as re-
ported, that Mr.. Randall will decline to enter
the contest. He had not heard any of the prom
inent protectionists mentioned as probable can
didates, and he feels certain that the tariff re-
formers in the House will not put a candidate in
the field against Carlisle so long as that gentle
man permits his name to be used. Mr. Morrison
was asked if there was any probability of his
name being brought forward for the speakershp
He reported that be could not be induced
under any circumstances, to become a candidate
while Mr.. Carlisle was in the field. He says his
views on the tariff question have not undergone
any change since the question was last consid-
cred in the House, and another attempt at tariff
legislation will most assuredly be made during
the next Congress. AS to whether or not he ex-
poets to be chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee in the next House he declines to say, re-
garding that as question which would not be
determined until after the Speaker had been
elected.

Whitney, the wife of the Secretary of the Navy,
sent for Mrs. Hopkins to receive with her."
But how about Mrs. Edmunds7" was asked.
Mrs Edmunds, being the wife of the presi-
dent of the Senate pro tenn, would be entitled to
precedence OF the wife of the Speaker. There
being no wife of the Presdentor Vice-president,
she would be the first lady; but Mrs. Edmunds is
in mourning therefore the wife of the Speaker
would come next Mrs. Frelinghuysen, during
the last administration, usurped the place of
Mrs. Edmunds and then of Mrs. Carlisle We
claim that the order of precedence for women in
social life in Washington is: First, the wife OF
the President second, the wife of the Vice-presi-
dent; third, the wife of the Speaker and, fourth,
the wife of the Secretary of State"
1t appears that the feminine mind is SO worked
up about this matter that Miss Clevelano IS
been much annoyed by anonymous letters dis
putting her right and title to the first ladyship.
In the meantime Mrs Hendricks is making ar
rangements to go to housekeeping in Washing
ton. and will give and receive entertainments.
She is evidently determined to test this question
of precedence. and assert her prerogatives.

Turkey Refuses to Accept Eng1and's Proposal
for Occupation of the Soudan.
LONDON, May 27.--It is asserted that the Eng
lish proposals recently offered to the Turkish en-
voy, Hassan Fehmi Pasha, for the occupation of
the Soudan by Turkey, have been declined by
the Porte.
Fehmi Pasha returned to Constantinople from
London with the proposals on the 14th inst,
after having had an interview with M. de Frey
cinet the French Minister of Foreign Affairs,
who assured him that the French government
would not oppose the Turkish occupation of
Suakim, nor of any part of the Soudan over
which the Sultan claimed suzerainty. The re-
fusal to accept the proposals after the assurance
received from NJ de Freycinet, causes consider
able surprise. 1t is believed in some quarters
that the government received official news from
Turkey yesterday that it's terms would not be
accepted, and that this was the reason for the
issuance of the order for the Guards to land at
Alexandria.
The completion of the railroad between
Suakim and Berber, under the contract to an
English company, was to be part of the under
standing with the Turkish government, although
it had not been formally referred to in the pro-
posals.
The Constantinople correspondent of the
Times says that the Turkish council of ministers
is undecided as to the occupation of Suakim by
Turkey, and that the Grand Vizier constantly
opposes the British proposal.

ham. of the Treasury Department.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-An interesting ques-
tion in regard to United States bonds has been
decided by Judge Durham, First Comptroller Of
the Currency. Mr. Fremuite, citizen of Bel
gium, recently presented for redemption three
mutilated coupon bonds of 81, 900 each, which he
said he had found in Brussels in 1874 The First
Comptroller refuses to consent to their redemp-
ton, on the ground that the finder of the notes
only has qualified interest in them and simply
holds the possession of them against all persons
except the rightful owner. He holds that the
finder of the bonds acquired no title therein, as
against the owner or the government by which
they were issued, and cannot maintain an action
for their redemption. He further holds, in
regard to mutiated bonds that they cannot be
redeemed unless the Treasury Department. is
satisfied that the parts presented are all that
remains of the bonds, or, in other words, that
the unproduced parts must be satisfactorily
accounted for

neighborhood, as everybody in the surrounding
tenementhouses was moving furniture and

Heved that it had started in the engine-room
