Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May Ito read recent dis
patch in the Indianapolis Sentinel. one would inn
agine that Hon. "Bil" Holman was working
himself to death for his constituents, and in at
tending to business. Itinay be worth while 10
tell little bit of truth, as related by o Demo-
crat here Said ho During the last session
an old soldier wrote Holman to work and vote
against the repeal of the arrears of pension bill.
The Hon. Bill wrote this constituent: OF
course, am against such repeal, but no such
bill has been introduced To-day printed copy
of the bill and the original copy of Hon. Bills
letter are pinned together, and can bo seen by
any 'admiring' constituent The bill at the date
of the letter had passed the second reading and
had been printed: Hon. c. r. Faulkner, State
senator. now private secretary for Hon. d. w.
Voorhees,, has obtained more pensions for soldiers
in the Hon. Bills own county than the Hon.
Bill himself In an investigation Of the meth
DDS of obtaining pensions by congressman,
clerk in the Pension Department said: Yes,
we did act very promptly on any case that was
brought up by Mr. Holman for the reason that
so few and far between we concluded
they must be very mertorious.'
But do not wish to wrong the "Hon. BILL
He did help a soldiers son to an Office. This
son was dwarf of about thirty years old. The
position was that of page. The ''Hon. Bilp got
it by resolution that he worked hard to get
through. So here is one case in which he worked
for soldiers son; but the old veterans Of In
diana are here informed that the father OF this
son fought under the stars and bars, and not
with the ''boys in blue" We are led to believe
by the Sentinels special that the Hon. Bill" is a
man of great popularity il his district Let's
see about this; Hon. E. r.. Faulkner and others
came within five votes Of beating him for the
nomination. In his race for State senator
Faulkner's majority in two counties in Holman's
district was two hundred and sixty-fve more
than Holman's. Many letters are received by
parties here from soldiers in Holman's district,
saying Holman promised to file my claim, but
you know old Bill is tricky and don't know
whether he has or not, and | wish you would look
after it," To show the love Holman has for
come of his constituency it is only necessary to
say that some of them are here and he neither
notices nor speaks to them There is no bigger
fraud than Bill Holman

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WAsHINoToN, May lit has been asserted
in these dispatches upon several occasions that
the Navy Department allows influence" rather
than justice, to govern the selection of officers for
soft duty" Your correspondent has mentioned
the names Of dozen officers who seem to have
the knaek of evading sea service, and who GER
calmly have some mysterious power which se-
cures for them all the best places One OF these
lucky individuals is Ensign Thomas Slidell Rodg-
ers, who recently started for California to meet
the sub committee of the Senate naval commit
tee. which is charged with the duty of investi-
eating naval affairs. Senator Don Cameron is
chairman of the subcommittee and Rogers was
probably chosen clerk because of his professional
ability his scholarly attainments and his ener-
getic powers. Cameron and Rogers are now at
Los Angeles, although the committee has not
yet begun its investigations. 1t is presumable
that these gentlemen are enjoying the glorious
climate of California at the expense or the gov
ernment and that the young naval officer Is
drawing duty pay"

Angeles is probably the object of.Senator Cam,

The Guelphs Not Wanted in Germany.
BERLIN, May 1.-THE Reichstag to-day took
up the debate on the third reading of the tariff
bill. Prince Bismarck announced that a treaty
had be submitted to the Bundesrath giving con-
cessions to Spain on the duties on southern
fruits, in return for which Spain had renounced
her claim to exemption from the increased duty
on rice. He hoped to present the treaty to the
Reichstag during the present session.
Herr Decker (Guelphist) opposed the proposed
duties on cereals, OH the ground that their adop-
tion would weaken the chances for the return of
the royal house of Hanover.
Prince Bismarck replies that he greatly re-
gretted that the Guelphs still cling to the Uto-
plan idea of the restoration of the house Of Han
over. He designated such conduct as high
treason and added that they would find the gates
against which they were directing their assaults
firmly closed.
The duty Of three marks on rice and wheat was
approved by the Reichstag

Of Hubert Bismarck as Under Secretary of For

DEMONSTRATION Enrone.

Reports OF cholera from Spain betray fright
ful condition of things. The epidemic is
spreading more and more, and accounts of its
terrible ravages are horrible in the extreme.
The stories which come from the infected dis
tricts recall the worst of the scenes which are
associated with famine and war. For example,
in the town of Erla, in the province Of Saragos-
sa there is no longer mayor or municipal gov
eminent. The mayor and all the city officials
are dead or stricken down by the plague, and
all the doctors and chemists of the place have
fallen victims of the pestilence Shops are all
closed and the town desertedby the inhabitants,
The people are ina destitute condition, and
the mayor of the neighboring town of Egen,
which is the only place from which the fugitives
could expect aid, has forbidden its citizens
to render them any assistance. He has de-
clared an absolute blockade. No person is
ever. This is an instance OF what Is common
towns are shutting their gates to all intruders.
Physicians and government officers as well as
people, are fleeing from disease. Survivors of
Erla are consequently camping out on the
hills1des, without houses and with but scanty
means of subsistence. According TO the latest
news some of them had set fire TO the town,
hoping by that means TO burn out the plague.
The fear of the importation of cholera is taking
practical shape all along the Mediterranean
coast, and most vigorous quarantine precau-
tons have been established at Gibraltar, on
the island of Malta and at the ports of Egypt
against all French and Spanish vessels Mar
settles steamers are not allowed TO call at
Malta, SueZ or Port Said, and most urgent
measures are being taken at other places TO
ward of the threatening pestience.
