"Advces from Rome Tex, state that force
variously estimated at from 100 to 80 men, are
congregated at Juan Maidenadoe's ranch, four
miles from Rome arming and preparing for a
raid on Mier, Mexico which is about seven miles
distant from the ranch. They are partisans of
one of the defeated candidates in the recent
election at Mier, and, on raising riot were
driven ont by the federal troops The rioters
retreated across the Rio Grande, and fred on
the troops from the American bank. 1t is not
known if the United States authorities have
taken any steps to break up this filibustering ex

Another correspondent, writing from Nuevo
Leon says: General Gomez, commander-in-
chief of this division of the Mexican army, ar
rived here last night. and this morning issued an
order commanding the Fourth Battalion of Cav
airy TO start at once for Mier. Although the
reason for this movement is not understood, it
is thought that the troops have been ordered
there to ISaserve peace at the time of the inaug-

Nearly All Objections to Nominations Come
from Democratic Sources.

Nearly All Objections to Nominations Come
from Democratic Sources.
Special to the Indianapolis Jourpai.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-Republican senators
say they are amazed at the amount of objection
being made by Democratic congressman to the
confirmation of nominations the President has
sent in. Nearly all the material now lodged be-
fore the Senate committees against confirmations
comes from Democrats. They do not 60 to men
in the Senate representing their own party, be-
cause they believe the latter would not care to
openly antagonize the administration. In many
instances, it is stated, Democratic senator's have
furnished proof to their Republican confreres,
feeling that the circumstances surrounding the
appointments tied their hands, so far as 6pen
work against confirmation is concerned Fur
ther. it is said some Democratic senators who
recommended the appointments, and represent
atives too, secretly working to have them
rejected.
A number of Democratic fights between sena-
tors and members reported in connection
with this confirmation business. Some members
who felt snubbed because appointments were Sc
cured in their districts by senators Of their
States, without the members being consulted,
are working quietly to have the nominations re-
jected. And in few instances the enemies of
senators who are Democratic were appointed
through the work of members from their States
and these nominations are being opposed by the
senators interested. The situation is growing
interesting, indeed.

DAKOTA's STATEHOOD.

Letter from Governor;A. c. MeIle.te-AttItude
of Ex-Governor Ordway.
special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28-A letter has just been
received by the Journal correspondent from the
Hon. A. G. Mellette, the Governor elect of the
proposed State Of Dakota in which reference is
made to the opposition being made in the Senate
to making State out of portion of that Ter
ritory and Territory out of the other part. Mr..
Mellette says:
II should. think South Carolina good source
for our fight to emanate from. Boynton this is
the Democrat from Dakota who is in Washing
ton conducting the opposition to statehood, and
talking so much about Threatened revolution,
In the Territory was member of the first con-
stitutional convention at Sioux Fails, and lead
er of the movement He declared in his place in
that convention that he would 60 home unless
we elected State officers then He was with US
TILL six months ago, some one mentioned him for
Territorial Governor. and he has since then been
on the other side. We had twenty-five
leading Democrats in that convention,
and they were all for election, and, if need be,
revolution. There ic no longer an excuse that
we are not qualified for statehood. The census
and statistics settle that question. The enab
ling act does not admit We have just as much
authority to make Constitution before as after
lts passage. The only thing is. we must do it at
our own expense. Congress has only legal
right to refuse US admission upon the ground
that we have not attained sef-governing con-
ditlon, or that our Constitution is not republican
in form. OF course Congress may refuse to ad-
NIT, but she cannot do it lawfully. 1t is like
judge refusing to pass sentence after trial. You
will observe our cause is attracting attention.
and if the Democratic party keeps us out it will
be an issue in the next campaign"
1t is reported here in Washington that the op-
position to the admission of Dakota is being
worked up by Ex-Governor Ordway, who is liv-
ing here now; that the Ex-Governor is using the
Democrats as a cats-paw. hoping that he can get
up row among them. SO that. after the Terri
tory is divided and the lower half made State,
he will have claim upon the Republicans there
for United States senatorship, on the theory
that he did party service in making trouble
among the Democrats

THE NAPOLEON OF SWlNDLERS.
Another Interesting Chapter in the History
of Cheeks Slippery Operations.

CLINTON, No, Dec 28.-As the facts in the
career of Silas E. Cheek, the Napoleon fnancier
Of Henry county, develop, they show that he was
not mistaken in the estimate of himself when he
wrote the note stating that he was "a thief liar
and knave." Among the transactions brought to
light to-day was a real estate deal with Con-
necticut syndicate at Bridgeport by which he
secured $l5 900 mortgage loan on swamp that
is not worth 81, 000 Under the assumed names
Of George s. Woods and Creton B. Jones he OBJ
tained S., 900 on forged deeds of trust from II.
| G. Nichols, of Bridgeport. 1t was Mr.. Nichols
who brought the whole matter to light. He had
rot received his interest for some time, came
here to investigate, and found that he had been
duped.
Victims are bobbing up on every side, and are
principally farmers, for whom Cheek invested
money in the East, and Eastern people for whom
he invested money in the West. 1t is shown that
he has successfully feeced the Central Illinois
Financial Agency at Jacksonville since 1879 and
their loss is estimated at $20 000 The deeds and
mortgages. forged and genuine, were not record
ed, and it is hard to make an estimate or his
swindies. The figure is put at 800, OOO, the bulk
Of which belonged to Eastern capitalists.
No one seems to know what has become of the
money. but st. Louis wheat deals are said to
have absorbed il. His wifes death is expected

Unwise and Inhuman Laws.

member of the government shares in the profits

Cleveland Modifies the Civii-Service Rules,
and Sparks Makes Some Changes.
New YORK, Dec. pa Washington special
to the Post says: "The animated contest now
going on as to the confirmation of the postmaster
of Chicago has incidentally brought out the in
teresting fact that important notifications of

dent as long ago as the 9th of November, have

ers, ard are yet in the hands of the printers,
and not yet promulgated. Among tho rules
thus modified are the following That the local
boards of examiners shall in future only certify
three names to the appointing officer,
and name can be certified to him
more than three times. except on special
request of the appointing officer. Under the
old rules the names were TO be certified four
times. and the appointing Office was obliged to
appoint from four out of seven names certified
to him, while now he will appoint from three
out of siy. This makes it easier to get rid of
persons thought not fit for appointments. 1t is
further required that two of the persons vouch
ing for the applicant must be residents of the
city in which the service is to be rendered THIS
is designed to discourage applications from per
sons residing outside the place of appointment.

gated in few days.

about hale through with his committees He
has most of his charmanships settled, and is it-
ting the members to their places. The committees
he is having the most difficulty about are the
foreign affairs, labor and coinage, weights and
measures. The Star says: 1T is settled that
Mr. Bland is to hold the Craftsmanship of the
coinage, weights and measures committee, but
the composition of the committee is giving the
Speaker much worry. Pressure is being brought
to bear by Mr.. Bland and the other silver men
to have none but advocates of the silver dollar
placed on it, while on the other hand great in
fluence is eXerted to haye it constructed in har-
mony with the administration In this way the
Speaker is subjected to heavy cross fire that
is very harrasing The Secretary of the Navy,
it is said, will have much to say about the COM
position of the naval committee. Mr.. Hewitt,
it is conceded, will be the head, and number
of others whom Mr. Whitney favors, will be
placed upon it."
