INDIANA TOWNSHIP FRAUDS.

The Injury to the States Credt-Action that
Should Be Taken by the Governor.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Ga good deal of talk is
heard here yet in Hoosier and financial circles
about the fraudulent school fund orders issued
by dishonest township trustees in Indiana. The
damage done to the credit of the State seems to
have been widespread To-day local bond
dealer, who has just returned from the East, said
to the Journal correspondent:
"I found the financial men of New York and
Boston talking great deal about those fraudu-
lent orders, and the men who hold Indiana Sc
curities are very much worried about the disre
pute they find securities from that State in. 1t
is almost impossible to handle Indiana bonds in
the East now. There is nothing so easily
frightened as capital. Say bah! at it, and it
will flee. venture the assertion that the peo-
pie of the State will suffer fully
twice the loss of the aggregate of
the fraudulent orders, for discounts on Indiana
paper in the East have risen l per cent. Of
course it is absurd to be frightened about this
little thing for it cannot, in fact, affect other Sc
curities, but it has apparently done SO for the
time being"
What can be done to help the matter?"
asked.
WELL" replied the gentleman. sit has been
suggested in many places that the Governor of
Indiana could have checked this raid on the
the STATES credit, and that he could do much
good yet and hasten a restoration of confidence
if he would He ought to issue proclamation
In the document he should explain that the
State government, nor the governments of the
counties or cities, or any corporations, are re-
sponsble for the frauds, and that no damage
should result to the credit of any one except the
dishonest township trustees. He should explain
the laws on the subject state the probable aggre-
gate of the frauds, name it's responsible town
ships, and let the people know that reports from
township trustees have been called for and

FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.
A Question of Great Delicacy Which De-

A Question OF Great Delicacy Which De-
nands Immediate Treatment.
Special to the indianapolis Journal,
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Much has been said by
congressman in the city now about amending the
laws relating to foreign immigration. There
seems to be strong desire to stop the influx
from at least portion of the foreign countries,
and to retain the undeveloped country for our
own increase of population. If this is not done,
it will be because the representatives in Congress
afraid to vote their sentiments. The ques-
tion is one of great delcacy but many Of the
leading statesmen have recently said it demands
immediate and unrestraned treatment
A report has just been prepared at the Bureau
of Statistics, which shows the number of mmi-
grants that arrived at the ports of the United
States from the principal foreign countries dur
ing the past eight months Nearly $1,000 Ger
mans arrived during that period, it is seen, and
70 999 Englishmen and Irishmen, and 5000
Scotchmen. Sweden and Norway sent us "a, 303
people; Italy. II, 538; Russia, $4,000; Bohemia
II, 900, etc., while the smallest number from any
country came from Greece-two men and
woman-and they are now in the Chicago work
house as vagrants At this rate, about half
million of immigrants arrive yearly. 1t is feared
they will soon take up all our public domain. and
leave nothing to the people who fought for it,

A MYSTERIOUS CHASM.
The Natural Phenomenon that Is Fright
ening North Carolina People.

RALEIGH, N. c., Oct. 6-There is great ex-
citement in Longacre township Beaufort county,
in regard to an alarming natural phenomenon
which is rapidly developing itself On the night
of Sept. Is shocks of great violence were felt in
that vicinity. The scence of the disturbance is
in the vicinity of Shiloh Church, the central
point of the shock. A chasm has made it's ap-
pearancc directly across the public road, near
the church, measuring a foot in width and a
hundred yards in length. From every
indication the surroundings seem to
be in an unsettled condition The
news of the strange phenomenon soon spread in
the community, and number of excited persons
were present in a short time 1t was observed
that the chasm was gradually widening and ex
tending its course showing that some unusual
convusion of nature was in progress. AS there
was no further violent agitation at that time,
the affair has remained comp parativelv quiet. and
the public at large have just become fully aware
of its magnitude.
The so-caed rent or chasm is now assuming
very serious proportions. 1t is continually wild
ening and lengtheniug in progress, and actually
threatening disaster to the surrounding section.
1t has now deviated from its former course,
which was an easterly to northerly direction,
crossing small embankment, and running in a
zgzag line about fifty yards from the church.
Several attempts have been made to obtain an
idea of the depth of the chasm, but have been
unsuccessful, owing to the shape in which it
runs,

An Unforeseen Difficulty Stands in the Way of
Their Prompt Dismissal.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Oct Ga good deal of diff
Guilty has been encountered in the attempt to
weed the females out of the departments, and it
begins to look as though they would stay. 1t
was easy enough to assert that ladies could not
perform the work we'll as men, and that there
fore they should go, but when it comes to speci
flying the weaknesses of the women and bring
ing specific charges. a snag was encountered over
which the ship of state could not pass. The
women stand every test of examination, and
prove efficiency.
The effort made, in a very quiet way, fort
night ago. to dismiss u number of Treasury
female clerks on the ground that "there were
suspicious against their chastity and doubts as
to their virtue, which were deleterious to the
public SERVICE" has failed. None were dis
missed. 1t was easy to suspect, but the officials
dared not make dismissals upon unproven
charges of that character. There is one part Of
the determination to keep out the women whick
will be successful, however, and that is in filling
vacancies. There to be few if any ladies'
accepted into the service hereafter.
