Their Issuance Caused General Surprise
Necessity for Action.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l5--The orders recently
issued to Rear admiral Jouett to proceed at once
to the Isthmus of Panama again, in order to be
on hand in case hostilities again break out, was
good deal of surprise to everyone. Even the
Secretary of the Navy himself may be said to
have had no idea thai such orders would be nee
essary few days before they were issued 1t
seems that the reason why danger is feared is
that the tariff law, which goes into effect on
the lst proximo, will SO increase the cost of ev-
erything in the way of the necessaries of life
upon the isthmus that hundreds, and even thou
sands, of people expect that they will. virtually
be starved out of the country This state of
affairs, it is thought, will lead to
serious riots and a great deal of lawlessness
once more. 1t may be, also, that the property Of
the Panama Railway Company, as well as the
canal company, will again be in danger from the
mob. AS the United States is bound by its
treaty to keep passage across the isthmus Free
it was deemed advisable by the authorities to
take all necessary precautions against the ex-
pected outbreak and it is for this reason that
is more interested on the isthmus of Panama
than any other country. except perhaps, it may
be France and it is doubtful if the bad invest

Admiral Jouett has exhibited in the past his
ability to cope with the lawless element there,
and it is doubtful if better selection could
have been made than his for the suppression of
another outbreak. 1t is not likely that any of
the same scandals which disgraced the last ex

the calling out of the naval forces of the United
States for this purpose will bring to light the
true history of the ''row among the Marines
which occurred there last spring.

The Aims of Seryia in the War.

LONDON, Nov. 16.-The weather is splendid
for the campaign in Bulgaria, but the troops
suffer from cold at night, owing to inadequate
covering In an interview here, to-day,
the Servian minister said he be-
lieved that if the Balkan confer
ence desired to stop the war between
Servia and Bulgaria, his government would ac-
quiesce after the capture of Sofia. Servia, he
said, desired a commercial treaty with Bulgaria
and facilities for trade with that country. She
also des ired to annex that part Of Bulgaria
which the Servans occupied when the Berlin
conference met. Servia, he continued, did not
intend the conquest of Bulgaria and there was
therefore no reason why the powers should in
terfere He dwelt upon the superiority of the
rifle used by the Servlans over the weapon pos
sessed by the Bulgarians.
The Standard, commenting on the outbreak of
hostilities between Servia and Bulgaria saws:
WAR has been kindled in the Balkans. We see
the beginning, but no human intelligence can
pretend to see limits to the area the intensity
of the fire."
The Daily Telegraph says that, in conse-
quence of the massacre of five Mussulmans at
Kirdschal, a Mussulman rising against the Bull
garianS is imminent.
The News considers that the Marquis of Sails
bury's utterances preciptated the conflict be-
tween Servia and Bulgaria. King Milan's con-
duct, it says, is an evil omen for the Balkan
states. If all the Balkan states had hailed the
Bulgarian union as step toward the expulsion
of Turkish rule from Europe, they would have
acted wisely. The present confusion is only
likely to strengthen Turkey

The Disagreement on the Silver Question-A
Poor Outlook for Harmony.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb 28-That there is to be
a split between President Cleveland and the
Democrats in Congress early in his administra-
ton upon the silver question has been hereto
fore predicted in these dispatches. That the
prediction was well grounded is proven by su6se
quent events Cleveland has defined his views on
the silver question in letter to the silver men.
The Democrats have defined their position by
voting down the appropriations committees plan
for suspension of the coinage for one year.
The lines are drawn, and until this question
is finally disposed of the breach is likely
TO grow wider between the execu-
tive and legislative departments of the
government Cleveland is in exact accord with
the entire business public upon this important
subject Congress is out Of time, as usual. 1t
remains to bc seen what the outcome will be; but
already there are mutterings and growlings
among the Democrats that make it evident that
the new President is to have anything but an
of6cia! bed of roses upon which to lie His de-
termination to carry out the spirit of the civil
service law has antagonized the spoilsmen Of
his party. His silver views are opposed to the
sentiments of majority of the dominant party,
and his policy" threatens to be crippled by the
professional economists For twenty four years
the Democracy has weathered the storm only to
be wrecked upon sunken rock-a man with
views of his own. 1t is sad, but the chances
for harmony have vanished.
