HOW 1T is DONE IN PERSIA.
Hon. Bayless Hanna Has the Light of Mr.
Bepjamin's Experience to Guide Him.

Hon. Bay1ess Hanna Has the Light of Mr..
Bepjamin's Experience to Guide Him.
Washington Special
Hon. Bayless w. Hanna, who goes to Persia,
had hopes of China or some South American
mission, but is more than content with the prize
he has drawn He will serve the country we'll and
stretch the Shah's waistband with series of
stories that for years have been the wonder and
glory of the Wabash country, and that will lose
little of their rare flavor when rendered into
Persian. The Office is worth So, 000 year. The
present incumbent is S. j. w. Benjamin, OF
New York. Two years ago, when he arrived
in Teheran, his reception almost took
a large scale, procession in his honor, which
escorted him to the official residence, and feast
spread which filed the mouths of the multitude
Mr.. Benjamin retired that night daZed with de-
light, and freshly convinced that his country
was the greatest on earth, and that she had
made no mistake in sending him abroad as one
of her representatives
The next day, however, he was largely disil-
lusioned. Bills were sent to him for the cost of
the festivities in his honor, with the information
delicately conveyed that that was the way things
were done in Persia. Mr.. Benjamin paid the
bills, sent them to the State Department here,
and, to his great delight, they were approved.
MIR Hanna has this information, and is already
priming himself for triumphal entry into Te-
heran at his countrys expense.

SENATOR EVARTS.
The New Administration Not Calculated to In
spire Confidence in the Northern People.

Boston, April 18-The Mlddlesex Club gave a
banquet at Young's Hotel tonight, in honor of
Senator William NJ. Evarts, and in celebration
of the anniversary of the battle of Lexington
In response to an address of greeting by Gov
ernor Robinson, the Senator told of his expert
ences ss schoolboy, drew a number Of
lessons from the battle anniversary and
then turned his attention to politics He said
that never had the Republicans been more
united and determined than at present, and
their struggle in 1883 would be made with per-
feet faith that victory was assured. The new
Cabinet was hardly calculated to inspire conf
dence especially as it contained three members
from that element which had conyulsed
the Nation in civil strife, and but
one loyal Northern soldier to- face them.
1t seemed as if there were a growing feeling of
dissatisfaction with the distribution of power
under the new administration. Such ill-judged
action as that of large body of Republicans
last fall was likely to cause disorder and disaster
Still, the common sense of the people
would resist and correct this offense.
In 1883. there would be no talk about
Jew people would be shouting for the prohibition
nominees, but the votes would be simply for one
or the other of the two great parties and its
principles. Senator Hoar made the closing
speech, in the course of which he said that po-
litical parties had recently changed their po-
sitions. but not their character The Demo
cratic party the same old unreliable
party still, and could not change its spots
The new administration had sold a few strained
horses, discharged a few servants, and put flag
at half-mast at the death of traitor All
these great reforms were interesting to ma
tion Of more than so 0O0 600 of people; but how
about the policy of the administration in affairs
of more importance? Silence had been the rule
The flag of the party still remained a weat her
cock The spoils system could not be rooted
from its native soil.

GERMAN ARROGANCE.
Employees of British Merchants Arrested
F1ogged and Sent to Penal Colony.

Employees of British Merchants Arrested,
F1ogged and Sent to a Penal Colony.
LONDON, April 18-A steamer which arrived
at Liverpool to-day from the old Calabar, on the
Gulf of Guinea, brings mail advices from the
west coast of Africa up to March 18 On the
18th of March a German man cf-war landed a
party of sailors at Bay Beach, new German
colony and arrested three native clerks who
were in the service of British merchants. The
three men were taken on board the man-of
war, where they were logged, and were then sent
to the British penal colony at Sierre Leone. The
reason Of this high-handed proceeding. on the
part Of the German commander is mystery. The
Germans now threaten to seize NJ Rogoznski,
the Russian who has been exploring the country
in the interior of the Cameroons, and has hoist
ed the British flag at various points which are
claimed as German territory. They say that NJ.
Rogoznski now holds official position in the
British colony of Victoria, and they urge that
his action therefore constitutes breach of in
ternational law. A Russian man of-war arrived
at Ambas bay a few days after this threat was
made. Her commader inquired into the circum
stances and decided that the German argument
was untenable, but he declined to interfere.
There is great deal of uneasiness at the mis-
sion town of Victoria, and 1t is possible that
grave complication may arise at any moment.

BURNED In THEIR BEDS.
Four Lives Lost Through the Carelessness of
Half-Witted Vagabond.

READING, Pa, April 19.-About o'clock this
morning fire occurred in frame building, sew
eral miles from the city, in which four persons,
Harry Wentzel aged eleven, and Charles
Vented, thirteen, sons of the proprietor, and
Charles and Fred Hetzinger. brothers. aged
sixteen and twenty-six, were burned to DEATH
The cause of the fire was mystery
until Danny Knoll half -witted
vagabond appeared and related that
he came to the place about IL o'clock last night,
and, entering the building, made bed for him
self and fell asleep. About 3 A. NJ he
awoke and found the fire nearly out He put on
some coal and then concluded to walk over to a
neighboring house, one and one-half mile dis
tant. When he reached the house he saw the
fire. The coroner held an inquest and placed
the responsibility for the fire on Knoll.

MINOR MENTION.
Comptroller Cannon To BE Removed and
Room Made for a Democrat.

Room Made for Democrat.
Special to the indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-Ihere are numerous
applicants for the office of Comptroller of the
Currency, now held by Mr.. Cannon, of Minneso-
ia. In order that this office might not be sub
jected to partisan changes, Congress- in creating
it, expressly stipulated that the term of the in
cumbent should be for five years, and that he
should only be removed by the President upon
reasons which must first be submitted to the
Senate. Yet, in spite of this provision it is
asserted that Mr.. Cannon is to go, to make room
for Democrat The President could scarcely
take more unwise step, as there are many Re-
publican senators who will oppose Mr. Cannon's
removal and there is not the slightest proba
bility that the successor selected by the Presi
dent could be confirmed so long as the Repub
licans remain in control of the upper house of
Congress. Mr.. Cannons conduct of the affairs
of the Office has been absolutely without re-
proach.

FRENCH sPOLIATION CLAIMS.
Mr.. James o. Broadhead Will make Search
for Foreign Evidence

Mr.. James O. Broadhead Will make q Search
for Foreign Evidence.
snecisStaSthe indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 10. = Elk Congressman
James o. Broadhead, of Missouri, has been
solicited to go to France and Spain to hunt
through the archives of those countries for evil
dence that will throw light upon the French
spoliation claims. Mr.. Broadhead's selection
was an excellent one and and it will no doubt re-
suit in a mass of interesting facts to add to the
already romantic lore of these musty old claims.
The compensation allowed Mr. Broadhead for
his services will fall much short of his income as
a lawyer but it is not for the money that he has
accepted the trust. AS member of the House
judiciary committee in the last Congress Mr..
Broadhead had occasion to inquire into the his
tory of the claims His Investigations led him into
a field of romance which proved so fascinating
that he was fairly taken up with the details, and
has since devoted all his spare time to clear
study of the interesting history He will go to
France with complete knowledge of all that is
to be learned in America, and is perhaps better
equipped for an intelligent exploration of the
French archives than any other disinterested
person could possibly be.
AS soon as Mr. Broadhead returns it is likely
that the prosecution of the claims will begin in
the Court of Claims and it is believed that he
will be retained as counsel for the United States
when the cases come up for argument. The
first glimmer of daylight which the claimants
have had in nearly hundred years promises to
spread rapidly. Owing to the multiplicity of
claimants, however, it is doubtful if individuals
will realize very much.

Unfair Treatment of Naval Officers.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WAsHINGToN, April 19.-Some timo ago men
ton was made in these dispatches of the fact
that number of naval officers had been able,
through social or political influence, to secure
continuous shore duty, while less fortunate men
were compelled to go to sea year after year
Among the names mentioned were those of
Lieutenant Commander Amory, Lieutenant
Bridge and Paymaster Bacon. Amory has since
resigned his commission. Bridge has at last re-
ceived his orders, and will join his ship for
three years cruise in the Pacific on May 1st
Bacon is still here but is now trying to get to
sea. He wants to go on the Pensacola, which is
ordered to the European station, and is bring
ing all his influence to bear to attain his object
The European station is the best to which an
officer can be sent, and as the paymaster who is
designated to join the Pensacola has little in
uence it is quite likely that Bacon will succeed
in ousting him.

or goods from twelve specified towns, all of
which are officially stated to be more or less in
fected. Suspicious cases have occurred at such
widely separated points as Jaen Andausia, in

Galicia in the extreme northwest corner of the
