Special to the indianapolis Journal
New YORK, Aug. 22.-The Rev. DR.. John T.
Newman has opened a canvass for bishopric in
the Methodist Episcopal Church. He has spent
ten days at Ocean Grove, the great gathering
place of Methodists in the summer, and his can
didacv is subject of open discussion there. 1t is
hard to tell whether more is said for than against
him in connection with this project His long
and close intimacy with General Grant and his
conspicuous participation in the scenes OF the
hero's death and funeral have put him into
commanding position before the great body of
Methodists and his election as a bishop would
be undoubtedly, so it is urged, popular thing
to do. His attainments are conceded to be quite
sufficient for the Office. On the other hand,
strenuous opposition comes from the more in
fuential Methodist clergy, and especially from
the magnates of the Book Concern. whose build
ing in this city is the headquarters OF
the bishops, and whose profits provide their
salaries. The strong point made against Newman
is that he turned his back on the Methodist
Church, and struck blow at her system of
itinerancy, when he undertook to establish
himself in the independent pulpit of the Church
of the Disciples. At that time he was bitterly
assailed by the Christian Advocate, the official
organ Of the bishops, and it suggested in
print that he deserved to be expelled. The editor
of the Advocate is chosen by the bishops
annually, and he iscontrolled in his policy by the
will Of the older and more potent Of them.
Right up to the illness of Grant the attacks
Newman were continued; then came silence
regarding him; but his funeral oration was pub
lished at full length in the Advocate, he is
kindly written of, and once more he is visitor at
the Book Concern. Bishop Harris is..credted prin-
cpally with the remarkable change of treatment.
He participated with Newman in the mortuary
exercises, he has long been close friend of the
Grants, and he went to Ocean Grove with
Newman. Newmans campaign has the
characteristics OF political one. His chief

he brought into the Grant funer al. Merritt is

The second resort of the Methodists. to
size is Round Lake, and there both Newman
and Merritt have spent week. But 1T was at

MADRID, Aug. 22.-The condition of Granada
remains pitiable. Hundreds of people are at
tackled by cholera in the streets nearly every
Gay. There are no doctors and no authorities to
look after the victims, who often pass through
their agones in the streets, and expire, unat-
tended, in the gutter Most of the unaffected
people have fed, and the few healthy citizens
that remain are disheartened an apathetic.
Corpses remain uncoffned and unidentified. The
very misery wrought by the plague has become
nuisance, and the government has resorted to
the desperate expedient of compelling the SOL
diers and the convcts to carry on the work of
removing from the public highways and inter
ring the bodies of the unknown dead.
There were 4, ,4S3 new cases of cholera and l, AL
deaths from the disease reported throughout
Spain yesterday. The returns for the populous
province of Navarro, however, are still incom-
plete. King Alfonso has donated $1,000 to the
Granada cholera fund. Money was badly needed
at that place
During the past twelve hours twenty three
cases of cholera and eleven deaths from the
disease were reported in Madrid, and in the
province outside Of the city one hundred new
and thirty one deaths reported.
The cholera is spreading in Marseilles. Thirty
localities are now infected. One hundred and
forty deaths from the disease occurred here yes

coming campaign for Governor. Will he try to
hurt the President by boiling the administra
tion's choice2 He has uniformly refused to an
swer any questions. But Ed Cahill, one of
his lieutenants, comes back with matter that
can be construed as pregnant with potent mean
ing. Ed is notoriously handsome man. 1t may
have been that fact that led John Kelly to say to
him: "a practical politician ought. first of all,
to be a big, handsome fellow, with genial man
ner and frank expression of countenance. 1t is
true that ugly men have been successful in the
field of politics. but they are heavily disadvant
aged, and only by having the insdes of their
heads crammed with superior brains have they
triumphed over the adverse impression made by
the outside" When Cahill reported this inter
view with the Boss, it was at once considered
oracular, and thus it is Interpreted: Governor
Hill, the foremost candidate for the Democratic
nomination, is far from beautiful. Indeed, his
personality is decidedly unimpressve. If Kelly
had the impending canvass in mind, he must
have meant that Hill had gained prominence
without deserving it, that he deserved further
success which he would or wouldn't eet and,
anyhow, so weighty is the Boss's highest word in
the estimation of New Yorks local statesmen.

CRUEL DOINGS WITH DOGS.
Startling Experiments and What Is Expected
to Result from Them.

Startling Experiments and What Is Expected
to Result from Them.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
New YORK, Aug. 22-The anti vivsectionists
of this city are emotional over the doings with
dogs by some of the professors of surgery in
Bellevue Hospital. Henry Bergh the great de-
fender of beasts, is the leader of those New
Yorkers who protest against the mutilation of
brutes for the sake of experiments He has
long sought to get an enactment by the Legisa-
ture, forbidding vivisecton, and last winter, by
means of bill ostensibly for another purpose,
he all but succeeded. Now there is a disclosure
of the fact that large number of dogs have
lately been, and are still being, cut up in a
series of trials intended to demonstrate the feas-
Utility of certain operations upon human beings.
Nearly all OF the persons shot or stabbed In this
city are taken to Bellevue. In wherein
the abdomen is perforated death usually results
from perltonitis, or Inflammation of the mem
brane which lines the abdominal cavity. In
various diseases, too, peritouitis is the fatal
climax. Surgeon T. Herring Burchard, chief
operator in the emergency ward of this
hospital, and lecturer in the clinics
of Bellevue Medical College, has held theory
that the mortality from this cause is needessly
high, and that many lives might be saved by the
bold surgery of cutting open the body. remov-
ing the irritant matter, even excising gan
grenous portions Of the bowels, and then trust
ing to antiseptic treatment for recovery. He
urged that, whenever the dreaded inflammation
became established TO an extent rendering death
nearly certain if nothing were DONE then the
knife ought always to be piled. This was new
and rather startling view. even in these days of
bold surgery 1t was decided to experiment
extensively with dogs. These could be obtained
in any desired numbers from the public pound.
The work was begun last spriLg and has pro
ceeded steadily ever since. Over hundred dogs
have already been used by Dr. Herring and others
interested in the subject. They have suffered the
laying open of their abdomens and the removal
of sections of intestine, to see if they would re-
cover. In a fair number of instances they have
done so. The practice is defended on the ground
that, could the operation be found practical in
human beings. great number of lives could be
saved by it. Especially would that be true in
wars. But the Bergh people are intensely
grieved.

New Indian Agent Frightened from His
Post by RumOrs of War.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Some ludicrous re-
ports come from the far West about the doings
OF the rev Indian agents Recently the old
agent who has had charge of the Cheyennes
located on Tongue river and the Rosebud
was superseded Shortly after his sue
cessor had reached his post wild rumors
began to float about that the Cheyennes
were going to dig up their best guns and choicest
ammunition and 60 on the warpath. When the
new agent first heard of these rumors his knees
began to tremble and his teeth to chatter He
suddenly realized that he was far from home,
in the wilderness, and with hordes of remorse-
less savages all around him. He recalled all the
narrowing details of Indian massacres he had
ever heard of. and he became sick-scared and
frightened The rumors increased from day to
day in number positiveness, and in bloody de-
tails. Finally, he could stand it no longer. He
called for his broncho. some rations, and bottle
of liquid REFRESHMENTS and then started for
Washington, assured that he would become
customer tor the wig-maker if not of the coffin
shark if he remained at his agency one day
longer. The agent has not arrived here yet but
is looked for every hour. He doesn't want any
more Indian in his experiences so here will be
another vacancy The Indians had no idea of
going on the war-path, and the report was simply
a hoax

Jubilation of Whites and Negroes Over the
Destruction of Crematory.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
New YORK, Aug 22.-The negroes and other
ingorant residents in the neighborhood of the
crematory in course of erection on Long Island,
a few miles out from Brooklyn, believe that God
has Frustrated the walls of the structure. Kate
Fields and others agitated the subject of crema-
tion as substitute for the interrlent of human
bodies and company was formed to build a
temple containing furnace that would reduce
corpse to ashes by intense heat alone Ground
was bought right between two large cemeteries,
the Lutheran and Mount Olivet, and the United
States Cremation Company began, last fall, to
build in accordance with the best scientific and
artistic plans. Close by live the members of an
African Methodist congregation, and they, with
many others, looked upon the crematory with
supersttious horror. They got to calling it Beug
lesss hell, after DR.. John D. Beugless, it's chief
promoter and in their prayermeetings especially
the enterprise was habirually denounced. The
destruction of the structure was constantly
prayed for and now. tremendous wind storm
having razed it, they are fully convinced that
divine wrath caused the ruin. They have held
jubilee meetings in consequence. AS the disas
ter has crippled the company, work has not
been resumed, nor is it likely to be soon; and
this is interpreted by the opponents as an aban-
dOnment of the pro- iect through fear of a second
outbreak of heavens disapprovaL They tell
remarkable stories of superaturaiSm in the
storm that raZed the half finished crematory,
such as loud voices denouncing it, and words
