ADMINISTRATION AND PARTY.

Democratic Opposition to President Cleve-
land interchangeable Republican Attitude.
Washington Special
The President is promised much more trouble
from his own party this winter than from the
opposition of the Republican Senate. The Re-
publicans, almost without exception, are disposed
TO be courteous, and have declared their inten-
ton to consider the various recess nominations
fairly upon their merits. as they did
those sent in at the extra session m
March. But in his own party the President
will and opposition to nearly everything he ia
vors Messrs Eustis. Beck, Blackburn, and no
one can tell how many others, will stand ready
to oppose every administration measure In the
Senate and in the House the anti administration
element will be even stronger. Senator Eustis
declared in conversation with some of his friends
to-day that he would watch the course of tho
administration with great interest this winter
and that he would scrutinze the nominations
very carefully. Some of Mr.. Bayard's appoint
ments will receive careful consideration from
the opposition in his party. and he will have to
reckon his old friend Wade Hampton, and But
Ter, of South Carolina. as aDtagonstic to him.
All measures the administration is known to
favor particularly, will find strong opponents
among the Democrats in the House One by one
the statesmen who gathered around Cleveland
on the 4th of March to claim share in the vic
tory, have dropped out and joined the opposition
Among the callers at the White House the old
party leaders are conspicuous for their absence,
and they have gradually come to feel that they
have no part in the administration. The
few members and senators who
hold intercourse with members of
the administration would count as nothing
against those who hold themselves aloof, or have
come out in open opposition to the administra-
ton. A large class of the machine Democrats
are quito ready to knife the administration can
didate in the State elections, to charge Mr.
Cleveland with the defeat OF the can
didates of their own choice. The
President still pins his faith to the skirts of
the white robed mugwumps, AID in case of the
defeat of Hill in New York, which event would
not much surprise him, he is quite willing to ac-
cept this logic. and take the reversal as an in
dorsement of his policy.

severely in jumping from the stable, and her
condition is made quite serious by the injuries
which she suffered.

A FISHING WHEEL.
Novel Continuance Which Promises to Prove
Dangerous to the Finny Tribe.

A Novel Contrivance Which Promises to Prove
Dangerous to the Finny Tribe.
Speciai to the Indianapolis journal.
WAsHINGToN Oct. Hast spring among
the patents issued to residents of the District of
Columbia was one to a gentleman named B. w.
Clark, on fishing wheel Later, company
under the style of the Clark Fishing Company
filed articles of incorporation. Hearing that
this concern had just put in operation a very
unique fishing rig. the Journal correspondent
took trip down the Potomac river to see it in
operation yesterday. About seventy miles from
Washington, at the mouth of a small creek, an
immense wheel was revolving in the tide
On getting closer to the continuance it was
found that two small scows had been built along
side each other about eight feet apart, and with
the ends planked over so as to form sort of
rough catamaran. In the center of each scow
was erected a sort of mast, and between the two
ran an axle made of stout iron pipe. On this
axle was erected an immense wheel, thirty two
feet in diameter, the sides of which were close
to the gunwale Of the scow either side. The
sides and spaces between the spokes
were covered with stout MEETING, so that the
whole formed an immense dip-net, which
of this great wheel was so arranged as to throw
the fish dipped up into the scow on either side
The whole affair was very simple but it was a
most destructive agent in slaughtering fish. Set
in the middle of stream with wing-nets thrown
out from either side and apron to the bottom
of the river, this FISHING wheel will, during the
shad running season, prove an engine of destruc-
ton that must be ten times more deadly than
any seine that was ever stretched. 1t will be
simply impossible for fish to escape. The
very simplicity of the eontrivance makes it
dangerous for fish. Nc machinery will be re-
quired to run the thing-it runsit itself. It would
appear to be an exceedingly valuable invention
from an economic stand point, but the erection of
one of the wheels where sport is desired must
certainly cause great deal of profanity among
the disciples of Izaak Walton.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE mysterious VIM. S.
Warner, who secured the most of the funds of
the bankrupt firm of Grant & Ward, surrendered
himself to United States Commissioner Shields
this morning saying that he understood a war
rant had been issued against him. A deputy
marshal watched his house last night, but was
unsuccessful in finding him. 1t is generally un-
derstood that for few weeks past, Receiver
Johnston, of the Marine Bank, had been investi-
eating the dealings of Ward with the bank. and
he brings the present suit to recover money
which he claims to be due to the bank, and
which Warner is said to have illegally received.
Warner claims that he had no dealings with the
Marine Bank, except to draw the money upon
checks paid him. and that he never had any deal
ings with the firm of Grant e. Ward except to
buy its obligations over the counter. Warner
brought bondsmen to court with him, and will
give bail in any amount that may be desired.
The examination was set down for Thursday
next, and bail was fixed at So. 000 Mr. Warmers
counsel produced two sureties, who justified in
twice that amount They were j. Bates Mus
grave banker. of this city. and Tracy e. Rob
erts, retired merchant, of Brooklyn.
