Unsuccessful Clamor OF Democrats for Re-
moval Of Present Incuinbents.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator voorhees,
and all the Democrats from Indiana in the next
House waited upon the President to-day to urge
upon him the necessity of an immediate change
in the revenue collectors for that State. They
want all the present incumbents swept out at
once and Democrats put in their places, and do
not propose to rest until this is done. They
placed the case before the President about as
strongly as they could, but came away greatly
dissatisfied because they had not succeeded in
getting any assurances.
The Democrats in all tie States are uniting
in making war upon the revenue collectors, and
are very importunate in their demands for i'm
mediate changes. The Democrats in the South
and all through the whisky regions are par
ticularly importuna te they say that the present
collectors have been in every way offensive, and
as they are not protected by the civl-service or
tenure of Office laws they should be removed at
once Indianians are very warm over the Presi-
dents seeming disregard of their demands.

BANKRUPTCY LEGISLATION.

Congressman Collins vigorously at Work
Canvassing the Views of the Next House.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April PA gentleman con-
nected with the trade interests of New England,
who was very much interested in the bankruptcy
bill last winter says that Mr.. Collins is very
hopeful of the passage of bill similar to that
formulated by Judge Lowell at the next session
entered Congress, Mr.. Collins has had one ambi-
ton, and that is the passage Of a law regulating
bankruptcy. At present he is at his home in
Boston, and is devoting every minute he can
spare from his law business to thorough can
vass by mail of the sentiment of the next House.
There is no doubt that upon a square vote the
bill would have passed any day last session. The
trouble was that square vote could never DO
had. The only method for securing a vote on
the bill that its friends had was by moving to
suspend the rules. This was first tried on the
10th of May, but owing to the absence of many
friends of the measure, the necessary two thirds
vote could not be secured on that day. Then
Mr. Randall entered the lists against the bill,
and each time that Mr.. Collins attempted to
bring the question to vote, he was opposed by
Randall and the session closed without fair
test of its strength. Mr.. Collins is reported to
have said that his correspondence thus far has
demonstrated that of the sixty new members at
least forty have signifed their intention to vote
with him, and several of the others have as yet
made no reply to his communications. Those
who have been baked in every attempt at legis-
lation by the preposterous rules of the last Con-
gress are determined that Mr. Randall shall not
rule the next House If they stick to
their present determination bankruptcy law
will be enacted before the summer adjournment.

Last fall we told our people that the bill would

If we fail again we must meet our'constituents a
