WASHINGTON, May 19.-Among the Indiana
arrivals to-day are: D. D. Dykeman, of Logans-

Edmonds, of Frankton, and Thomas McNutt, of
Richmond. -
Mary A. Laughlin was commissioned postmas-
ter at Wyiie to-day and Jacob L. Riddle at Stan
ford. The appointment of Reagan to- be post
master at Terre Haute was made sooner than
was expected 1t was thought that the claims
of the various candidates would be submitted to
the people, and that Voorhees, would visit Terre
Haute before decision was reached. The MUIR

postponed, and he did not go. It is learned that
Voorhees, and Congressman Lamb were the
principal hackers of Reagan.

The London Times Sees Necessity for Pre-.
caution if Not Disquietude.
LONDON, May 21.--The Times this morning
returns to the Bosphore incident for editorial
comment, and makes it the subject upon whicS
to base general review of the whole situation
in Egypt at the present moment, as affected by
the conflicting interests of the various European
powers. In the course of the article the Tmes
says: There is too much reason to fear that o
hostile combination against British influence and
interest in Egypt has been organized by the
European powers. Their action in respect to
the Egyptian convention, and in forcing the
Khedive, by their protests, to refund the 5 per
cent which had been deducted from the amount
of the coupons, has been clearly intended to
show that they are determined to insist upon
every point against Englard."
This opposition of the European powers to
British interest in Egypt, the Times distinctly
sees, must be taken into the account in any de-
termination of the future policy of England
upon the Nile. 1--WE have however," the
article continues, ''the advantage of possession,
and this is a fact which just now it is not amiss
to emphasize Speaking of the order issued
yesterday OBTAINING in Egypt the Guards who
were on their way home from Suakim, the same
article says: "There is no need to attribute this
action to the position of the Anglo Russian diff
Guilty. There is more than enough in the affairs
of Egypt to enforce the necessity. of precaution,
if not to justify positive disquietude."

1t is currently reported here that Senator Ma
hone, having got news through brother senator
of what the decision in the Virginia bond cases
would be before tthe Supreme Court, utilized
his information by buying up all the coupons he
could get Of course, the coupons advanced i'm
mediately, and he is said to have cleared $780,
600 by the transaction. Some of Mahones friends
deny it, and say that it is a reflection on the Su-
preme Court to suppose such information could
leak out. The truth is, though it is not the
slightest reflection on the Supreme Court, that
decisions should leak out occasionally any more
than it is that the whole proceedings of the Sen.
ate in executive session should be accurately re-
ported. A matter which is discussed by the
nine judges of the court must sometimes be over
heard. If their footsteps wore logged their
chance remarks to each other ca the street cars
and at receptions and parties noted and pieced
together, any astute person could find out good
deal which was not meant for him to know.

There is now on hand of the appropriation for
the New Orleans exposition 1885, 900, and bills
aggregating $34l 900 have come into the treas

thousands of dollars. The women's department,
with Mrs. Julia Ward Howe at it's head, has
been trying to secure the amount of the appro

but up to this time has not succeeded because
of the doubts in the mind of Secretary Manning.
The whole matter has been referred to Judge
McCue, the Solicitor of the Treasury to examine
as to the law and report. Several Southern
Senators have called at the Treasury to urge
speedy action in the matter, so that the debts in

What Senator Logans Reelection Has Done.
Washington Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.
The election of Logan to the Senate has more
significance than merely numerical addition
of the Republican majority to the body In
stead of sending him to private life. as was
within the power of President Cleveland any
day after his inauguration, he is returned with
a prestige that will make him command
ing presidential quantity four years from now
On the theory that nothing succeeds like sue
cess, General Logan is now On the crest of
the wave, whereas both himself and his friends
had fully expected his political life at an end.
10 show how the success of General Logan
has inspired the dropping spirits of his party
followers 1t needs only be told that in the
Treasury Department wild, exultant cheer
rent the air when his success was known.
This, too under the ears of Secretary Manning
old cannon was planted in the grounds to the
rear of the White House, and one hundred guns
were fired in honor of the victory Every one
of the shots was heard by the President Those
who managed the salute were government
clerks, who are retained in their Offices with a
secure tenure because of policy which is
neither flesh nor fowl. Logan's triumph has
demonstrated that, although Republicans are
willing to hold office uLder Democrats, they are
not afraid to make merry when the grand old
party" gains substantial political triumph.
If, at the dead of night, the firing of one hun
dred guns in honor of political victory is not
offensive partisanship," what, then, is it9 And
the more so when the President of the United
States is kept awake to involuEtarily listen to
the celebration of victory which a vigorous
policy on his part could have prevented.

of she old soldiers upon the government. but, he

tention to individual cases.
