New York, June 23-In the libel suit of the
Metropolitan Elevated Railway Company, to-
day, against editor Keep, of the Wall Street
News, for alleging in his paper that the COM
pany had paid dividends which it had not
earned, Treasurer WcWillams testified that
the 1884 dividend was declared on June "a
of that year. Two dividends were paid of II

MINISTER KELLEY.
The President Much Annoyed Over Austria's
Refusal to Receive Him.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-The refusal of the
Austrian government to receive Mr.. Kelley is
only the natural sequence of his Richmond
utterances. When he set himself up
against the Italian government he
closed the portals of every court on
the continent of Europe against him. Unfor-
tunately Mr. Bayard, the man who has been
Democratic party out of its Egypt, knows very
little of diplomacy. He never was diplomatic
and was very poorly versed upon the usages and
functions which govern the official life of for
eign ministers. During all the twenty four years
of the alleged corrupt Republican administration
there never was case in which the biunder was
made of trying to foist unwelcome represent
ative upon one after another Of the European
courts. 1t is reported that the President is more
some even 60 so far as to predict that it will be
some months before the Austrian mis-
sion is filed. 1t can scarcely be
that the Presidents stubborness will
lead him to commit so grave blunder as this
would be- The Austrian court has the right to
reject any one that is sent to it, and has only
used its prerogative in this matter. But it be-
gins to look as though Mr.. Kelley were left out
in the cold, and that there is no place open
for him. The suggestion that the State Depart
ment should carefully examine the antecedents
ard utterances of all men who are selected for
foreign appointments comes none too soon, and
it shows remarkably bad judgment that so
many of those selected by Mr.. Bayard should be
handicapped by tLeir inimical utterances towards
the government TO which they are sent as repre-
sentatiyes.

FREE FIGHT IN A CLUB-ROOM.
A Number of Clubmen and Police Officers
Committed for Trial.

LONDON, June 23.-Late on Saturday night
May 8, four men were elected from the European
club. They raised the cry that they had been
swindled in the clubhouse. A mob quickly
gathered and smashed the windows of the
building The police arrived and searched the
house for the alleged gamblers but none were to
be found. The police then FASTENED to neigh
boring Social Democratic club, thinking the
gamblers might have taken refuge there. Here
they made n forcble entry, and while they were
engaged examining the upper floors, the mob
that had followed them wrecked the lower
parts of the establishment, looted the
bar and carried off the coats, umbrellas and
other personal property of the members. Tho
police did not find any gamblers The members
of the club finally rallied, and free fight with
the police followed. The result was that great
number of the members of the club were badly
wounded and some fifty of them were arrested
Six only of those arrested were detained, how
ever, for further examination when arraigned
in court the next morning. Since that time the
authorities have been making searching in
yestigaton into the affair, and to day number
of the police and members of tho club were
fully committed for trial at the Old Bailey.

POsrMAsTERs' SALARIES.
Changes in Indiania Offices Under the Re.

WAsHINGToN, June 23.-The annual state
ment of the Postofice Department of the aj-
justment of salaries of the presidential post
masters has been completed. This is the first
made since the two-cent postage has been in
operation, for the four quarters of the fiscal
year. The last report covered six months under
the old three e-cent law and six under the
two cent law, and consequently did not offer
fair basis of calculation with reference to the
results of the change This year, however is a
fair test of the decrease under the two cent law
and the falling off is not so radical or extended
as was year or two ago anticipated. In In
diana the changes are given below The offices
where the salaries remain the same are not
given. 1t will be seen at a glance where the
falling off is:

THE ART OF sTUMp.sPEAKING.
Not Lost, Not valueless-Face to
Face with the People-Oratory.

see in some newspapers that the art
of stump-speaking is numbered nearly
among the lost arts; that there were great
times when Webster and Clay spoke, and
also that oratory is no longer a subject
about which young person should take
thought. If any Of you suppose that l
have not been serious, | must now be
considered in such mood. / wish to say
that the art of stump-speaking is not
lost art, it is not a valueless art and in a
country like this it is a very great power,
and an art which those who intend to
take part in public affairs should wisely
cultivate.
In the first place, you can never know
the public sentiment of the community
unless you are endowed with some sort
of clairvoyant power, unless you meet
the people and in these great assemblies,
when you look into the faces of men and
women and lay down your propositions
and proceed to make your arguments,
you get, by some mysterious process, an
impression as to what they think. No
discreet public speaker, in making
speeches every thirty or forty miles, will
in fact make the same speech with which
he began. He will lose the speech with
which he began, and construct new one
under the dictation of the audiences be-
fore him.
He is under the influence of the people
and comes to realize what they believe,
and be knows what opinions and argu
ments will produce effect, and what con-
siderations are valueless. In that respect
the stump speaker has an immense ad-
vantage over the writer in the closet or
the editor of newspaper. Now the
newspaper men will please pardon me
for saying that, while for every three
years and nine months in the quadrennial
they appear to rule, during the three
months preceding presidential election,
when the men who take part in public
affairs present themselves before the
people and present the issues and argu-
ments on one side and the other, the
press, omnipotent as it is, bows itself to
the men who canvass the country, and
merely reproduce the opinions and argu-
ments which the stump orators set forth.
1t is difficult to state what the art OF
oratory is. Great men, from Quintillian
all along, have endeavored to explain
what it is, but it is still mystery. But
we know that there are some men, under
some circumstances, who, by the voice,
by the manner and gesture, produce not
only temporary, but lasting impressions
on the mind. Men who possess these
gifts in any country or civilization of the
world will have power.-Secretary Bout

These letters furnish their own COM

the course of the present Administration.

all. If Cleveland is sham Democrat SO
