BRADSHAW's THREATS.

The Cause of His Animosity Toward the
Third Assistant Postmaster-General.
Special to the indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29-For several days past
the press dispatches have contained statements
to the effect that one Moses Bradshaw would
soon make disclosures which would startle the
world and show the Third Assistant Postmaster
general up in a bad light. Bradshaw has been
threatening this for several years, but thus far
his sensation has failed to pan out Bradshaw
is one of those unfortunate individuals who new
er know when they are we'll off. He owes his
political preferment to the good Offices of Mr..
Hazen; yet he tried to run the entire Postofice
Department, failed, and was discharged; hence
his sensational promises. The following report
made by Chief Inspector Sharp, to Postmaster
general Hatton, last winter, explains the motive
which animates the reformer just now:
I'm obedience to your instructions, l have the
honor to report that, as to the result of my in
vestigation as to the manner in which Moses
Bradshaw, chief of the stamp division, has con-
Quoted the business of that office, and as to his
efficiency and faithfulness as an officer, that
.horonshly convinced: First-That Mr..
Bradshaw Is inefficient, and has not the quail
fcations necessary to the proper and efficient ad-
ministration of so important division Second
That Mr.. Bradshaw has been insubordinate to
such an extent as to seriously embarrass the ad-
minstration of the bureau, of which his division
is a very important branch Thrd--That his
conduct in the suppression Of an important re-
port passing through his hands, made by one of
his subordinates and in obedience to the written
order of the Postmaster general clearly indicates
that he was not faithful to his trust, or was
grossly ignorant of his duties.

Great Anxiety to Learn Whether One of the
Favoritcs Will Obey Orders.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 90 9-Naval circles are of
present anxiousy awaiting the course of one Of
the pets of the service, now that he has been
ordered to sea- Lieut. j. D. J. Kelley has been
ordered to report for duty on board the United
States steamer Tallapoosa on Jan. 5. The Talla-
poosa will join the South Atlantic squadron, and
will do river duty on the Rio Plata. Montevideo.
Kelley has frequently been ordered to sea, but
Kelley has influence and does not like sea serv-
ice. He prefers ballroom duty and germans.
His success in securing the revocation Of orders
has been the scandal of the navy for years. and
it has come to be regarded as a foregone con-
clusion that Keey's sea orders are made simply
to be revoked. This is the same officer of whom
Secretary Whitney recently said his influential
friends are SO persistent that he was compelled
to revoke the last order in order to have time to
look after the other affairs of the depart
ment Nobody in the navy expects
that y Kelley will join the Tal!apoosa
just as the social season of the capital is dawn
ing Another young naval officer who has been
peculiarly fortunate in this respect is Lieutenant
b. A. Fiske, who is related by marriage to the
powerful mugwump family of New York, the
Harpers Fiske succeeded in getting out of sea
duty several times during the early days of the
administration of Mr. Whitney. At last how
ever, he was ordered to the Brooklyn, and after
some protest he joined that ship; but life was
distastefui to him, and he is now here again.
He only spent six weeks on the Brooklyn, when
he succeeded in bringing influence enough to
bear to secure his recall. If these naval drones
would resign they could get ont of sea service,
and at the same time they would afford an op-
portunity Tor worthy young men to secure COM
missions of which they are now deprived owing
to tho fact that the register of the navy is
crowded with the names of just such shirks as

More Trouble Expected at Detroit.

DETROIT, Dec 29-Everything has been quiet
among the Poles to-day. A large number of
Poles attended the inquest of John Laviski, the
Pole who was shot on Christmas day, but no
trouble resulted. The inquest was adjourned
until tomorrow. No doubt is expressed but
or persons unknown. Tonight there was pre-
sented for the consideration of the aldermen a
petition from the followers of Kolasinski, asking
the city to interfere, and compel the Bishop to
renstate that priest. 1t was tabled. It is re-
ported that Kolasinski emissaries have been
among the Polish people to day circulating the
report that new priest would be consecrated to-
morrow morning. AS a natural consequence
trouble is expected and the police are prepared
to keep the peace.

Congratulations on His Re-Election-Resig-
nation of the Brisson Ministry.
PARIS, Dec. 29.-President Grevy has received
dispatches from all the European powers and
also one from the Prince of Wales congratulate
ing him on his reelection to the presidency NJ.
Grevy will not send message to the Chamber
of Deputies M Grevy and the Cabinet Ministers
urge NJ. Brisson, the Prime Minister, to remain
in Office, declaring to the latter that the govern
ment suffered no parliamentary defeat by the
closeness Of the recent vote on the Tonqun cred
it. M. Grevy will not accept the resiguationof NJ
Brisson. Grevy to-day held a consultation with
a number Of leading politicians regarding the
situation.
After short session of the Cabinet to-day,
Premier Brisson called upon President Grevy
and rendered the designations of the whole Cab
met NJ. Brisson, replying to NJ Grevy, said he
desired to retire from political life for year, in
order to take much needed rest. The govern
ments majority on the Tonquin credit was too
small, he said, for a stable government, and the
result of the Paris elections was further reason
for resigning.
The session of Parliament was closed to-day.
1t is supposed that M. Brisson's withdrawal
from political life is only temporary and that he
retires for the present with the object of increas
ing, eventually, his chances for the Presidency
President Grevy has accepted the resignation
of the Ministry.
There was lively scene tonight in the Cham
Der of Deputies Several members charged
hat an inaccurate record had been kept
of the votea on the Tonquin credit Shouts of
'liar" and 'swindler7 were raised in all parts of
the chamber. The official record was voted to
be correct The uproar was repeated in the lob
bies, and at least two duels are likely to result
from the controversy
The German press hailed with pleasure the
announcement of President Grevy's reelection,
which they regard as an assurance of peace be-
tween France and Germany.
NJ DeFreycinet. Minister of Foreign Affairs,
has declined to form Cabinet in event of NJ
Brisson insisting upon his resignation being ac-
cepted. 1t is likely that NJ Flouquet President
of the Chamber of Deputies, or M Goblet MIN
lister Of Public Instruction, will be summoned to

THE IRON TRADE.
An improvement During the Year and an
Encouraging Outlook for the Future.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. ga review of the iron
trade of 1885 has just been prepared by James
III. Swank, general manager of the American
Iron and Steel Association. The beginning of
the year was marked, he says. by a continuation
of the depression of 1884 There was a steady
saggipg of prices from January to July, except
for steel rails, quotations for which improved a
trifle in May. In July and August all prices
stiffened and in September slight advance was
established, steel rails taking the lead. and con-
tinuing to advance until December Quotations
for four leading staples for each month of the
will show that prices at the close of the year
were more favorable than at the close of the
frst half of the year. A comparison of prices
shows that pig-iron was $l8 in January, ST. rs in
July, and $18 25 in December. Steel rails we're
S27 in January $26 In April, and $34 so
in December. Bar iron was $4032 in
january. $380S in July. and 1920 in De-
cember Cut nails were s. 10 in January, So Is
in August, and 81 60 in December. These quota
tions are monthly averages for No. / anthracite
foundry pig-iron and best refined bar iron, per
gross ton, at Philadelphia, for cut nails per keg.
wholesale at Philadelphia. and for steel
rails per gross ton at PHILADELPHIA mills
After Sept. l The increased demand became
everywhere noticeable, and it has continued
without interruption to the present time This

threats to day of tariff revision, the promise of

JUDGE HOLMAN ON DAKOTA.
The Territory Should BE Admitted, but Should
Not Be Divided.

Ine lefr1COry should BE Admitted, out should
Not Be Divided
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.--In speaking to-day
of recent occurrences in Dakota, Judge Holman
of Indiana, said that ne thought the time had
probably come when it right that Dakota
should be admitted as State. The House had
no right to consider the political bearings of the
case. Tho only questions that occurred to his
mind were whether the population was sufi-
GENTLY settled and permanent to make it better
for them to be under State form of government;
whether the school lands could be sufficiently
secured, and the question of the governments
interests in the Territory. The govern
ment has immense interests in the Ter
ritory in the extensive Sioux reservation, and it
was undoubtedly true that these interests could
be better looked to under Territorial than
State government, but this last, he thought, was
not sufficient reason for refusing admission.
THE trouble s." he said, when Territories
spring up so rapidly that the people do not be-
come sufficiently settled at once; their in
terests do not become closely con-
nected with the Territory as to make them
always as anxious for its well-being
as should be the case. Therefore, before
they were given control of the affairs of the
country, it should be soldly enough established
to be safe from the selfish action of speculators
sharpers and adventurers, whose only purpose
would be TO get personal gain. The public
lands, the school lands, must be protected, aud
the matter of land grants carefully guarded
The Territory must be so admitted 1t must
come as one State, however. The whole Terri
tory should come in together A division would
not be practicable.
Some parts of the Territory were necessarily
sparsely settled on account OF the pastoral pop
ulation of some sections. The Territory
coming into the Union, as it now is, would as a
whole. balance the geography of the country.

WIDOWS PENSIONS.

Correction of Erroneous Impression
Growing Out of a Recent Decision.
WASHINGTON, Dec 29.-The Pension Bureau
is in receipt of thousands of letters, from all
parts Of the country, indicating the existence OF
widespread but erroneous impression that the
recent decision of the Supreme Court, in the
case of Mrs. Hattie A. Burnett vs.. the United
States, would bring about an almost total change
in the rates OF pensions allowed to widows of
soldiers of the late war; The decision, as rem
dered by Justice Harlan, on the contrary, sus-
tains the practice of the Pension Office. Mrs.
Burnetts husband. Gen. Ward Fl. Burnett was
allowed pension of $72 per month. by special
act of Congress, on account of his totally help
less condition, due to wounds received during
the Mexican war; The widow was allowed a
pension in accordance with the provisions of tho
general law. She, however, appealed to the
Court of Claims, claiming the same amount per
month that her husband had received. That
court. in its decision, used this lsnguage:
'"The widow becomes entitled to pension not
necessarily at the same rate her husband was
entitled to, but at the rate he would have heen en-
titled to if his claims were founded upon what
in the pension law is technically called total
disability"
After death, all degrees of disability are con-
sidered by law as one and the same, to wit: To
tai disability and the rate of pension given to
that grade becomes the rate of pension for the
widow. The pensions of living soldiers are
graded according to their respective incapacity
to perform manual labor. When the disability
is total, $50 month is given as an equivalent.
The decision of the United States Supreme
Court. which has been so much misunderstood,
simply, as before stated, affrms the Judgment
of the Court of Claims, and the long established
practice of the Pension Bureau has thereby re
ceived the sanction Of the highest tribunal in
the land.
