prospects, said: II have strong reasons for
hoping that the President will see fit to change
my appointment from the Persian mis-
sion to that at the Argentine Repub-
lie. believe could do more
good for my country at the latter place than in
the former. My first application was for the
Argentine Republic mission, and it would have
been given me- but for the fact that Secretary
Bayard, seeing the war-cloud coming up in ASIA
thought better to send me to Persia Now
the difficulties between England and Russia are
somewhat smoothed over. and have requested
to be given my original appointment Secretary
Bayard said, I am perfectly willing. but see the
President I went to Mr. Cleveland and he
said, 'All right; see the Secretary, and learning
that had been referred to him by Mr. Bayard,
he promised to consider the matter with HIM"
Referring to the charges made against him,
Mr.. Hanna said that they were instigated by
men who wanted his place, and that they were
baseless. He added: Men who know me-
know that my hands are clean, and that there is
no truth in these scandulous statements My
wife and family are much distressed by their
publication"

SENATOR HARRISON.

The Coming Trip of His Committee to Mon

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Senator Harrison, of
Indiana who arrived last night said to the Jour
nal correspondent to-day: 'The principal OBJ
iect of my visit is to prepare for the "trip into
Montana and Dakota by sub-com
mittee of the Indian committee, of which
I am chairman. We shall start about the first
week in July, and will investigate the exact
status of the Crow Creek reservation. The res
ervation was thrown open by executive order of
President Arthur, and the order was revoked by
President Cleveland. The question is, was
the reservation set. apart by treaty or
by executive order9 / am inclined to
Shink it was treaty reservation, and that
Attorney general Garland's position was well
taken; but propose to get at the truth of the
matter if we can."

the leases held by cattle men of the lands of the
Crow Indians in Montana. We shall look into
that and other questions pertaining to Indian

data, and expect to be ready to start by the 1st
of July"

A Disruption of the Ministry Considered
Almost Certain.
LONDON, June 6.-No progress has been made
during the past week in allaying the dissensions
in the British Cabinet The government re-
mains on the verge of disruption. Mr.. Chamber
lain, ambitious to become a British Premier,
and Sir Charles Dixie, innately radical,
still stubbornly refuse to assent to Mr..
Gladstones announced policy of renewing the
Irish crimes act 1t is true that the "Grand
Old Man" yesterday retreated from his original
position on this question far enough to admit
that the government now only mean to
renew the bill in modified form.
While neither Mr.. Chamberlain nor
Sir Charles Dixie has personally stated in
public that he will resign from the Cabinet if
the Premier persists in his renewal policy, it is
generally understood that both have actually
threatened to do so, and it is not believed that
the modified policy announced yesterday by the
Prime Minister has in any way altered the
threat. The Radical Ministers are just as much
opposed to the plan of electoral
campaign formulated for the coming election by
the Wing members as they are to the Irish
crimes act The number of ministerial rebels on
this points larger even than thatarray against
Parnell. Mr.. Chamberlain, Chairman of the
Board of Trade; Sir Charles Dixie, President of
the Local Government Board; Mr.. GO. Trevelyan,
and Mr. G. j. Shaw Lefevre successor to the great
Fawcett, as Postmaster general, all insist on a
Radical platform. These gentlemen agree that
the principal planks in the Liberal platform
should be, first, reform in the constitution of
the House of Lords by reducing the number of
hereditary peers and increasing the number Of
life titles; second, reform Of the law
Of entail, which will work towards
division rather than a concentration of land
titles third, general reform in the land laws of
Great Britain, to the end that the number Of
holdings in fee may be increased, and titles to
land be more easily obtained; fourth,
for Ireland the widest possible measure
of self,government consistent with the
unity of the British empires fifth, public education
on the principles accepted by the Irish party
The Wing faction in the Cabinet refuse stead
fastly to adopt any of these five principles in the
platform of the Liberal party in the coming cam
paign. Hence the party will enter the canvass

They Fail to Verify the Prophecies Made by
Their Enemies.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-Last autumn the New
York Sun and other papers throughout the coun-
try which for some reason Or other have grudge
against the national banking system, asserted
that the system was failure, and that of the
hundreds of banks whose charters expired during
the present year more than SO rer
cent. would cease to do business un-
der the national banking law when the
time Of expiration arrived. This was, accord
ing to the statements of those papers, especially
true in essw York city It was stated that a
canvass among the banks and banking institu
tions had shown conclusively that in the me-
tropolis the greater number of the banks whose
charters were to expire would carry or business
under the State system rather than be bothered
with the national banking system. Mr. Cannon,
Comptroller of the Currency, said to-day that
thus far not more than one-twentieth of / per
cent. of the capital represented in the banks
whose charters have expired this year
has been withdrawn. Ali of the larger
banks throughout the country have either
taken a renewal of their charters or have been

the country it is probable that less than twenty

than ever who believe that it is the only safe
method of carrying on the banking business.

AUFDEMORTE'S DEFALCATION.
It Is Known to Amount to 100000, and May
Reach Much Larger Sum.

New YORK, June GA special to the Sun
from New Orleans says: 'The investigation
made by the government Of the defalcation in
the United States sub treasury in this city, was
80 secretly conducted that even the local press
lad no idea of what was going on. The accounts
were examined on May 20 and found correct.
On Saturday another investigation made by
Mr. James Sample, one of the examining COM

failed to appear at his ofico. The case was put
in the hands of detectives, and the department
at Washington was notified Everything now
shows that Aufdemorte managed his fight very
skilfully. 1t is supposed by the officers that he
left here for Mexico on the Saturday train, and,
consequently, landed in Mexico on Sunday.
When, therefore. on Monday morning, the fact
of the defalcation became assured, Aufdemorte
was in the interior of Mexico. When the defal-
cation first became known it was estimated by

UNDERvALUATIoN OF GOODS.

Frauds by Importers at New York-The
Other Side of the Question.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 6-The officials of the
Treasury Department have frequently published
statements showing that the New York import
ers have, by system of undervaluations, de-
frauded the government out of thousands and
thousands of dollars. 1t is estimated that the
silk exporters in France, by collusion with the
authorities and importers on this side, have
cheated the United States out of half the revenue
that should have been received from the tariff on
silks. There is no doubt that these statements
are true. and, in fact, it has been proved pretty
conclusively that for years a system of fraud
in the undervaluation of silks, gloves
woods, etc, has been successfully carried on.
There is another side to the story, however A
gentleman now here from New York told your
correspondent to-day that in many cases New
York importers submit to enormous overvalua
tions by the customs authorities in order to
avoid trouble and annoyance. II will give you
an instance" he said. ''Some years ago was in
business as an importer of tropical fruits. On
one occasion had a consignment of pine apples
sent to me. The actual price paid for these
pine-apples in Havana was 80 cents a
dozen. When I got them to New York
I invoiced them at 90cents dozen, although
there was the sworn statement of the consul that
the value of these pine-apples in the home mar
ket was only 36 cents. The customs au-
thorites were not satisfied with ninety cents,
but appraised them at ninety six. paid the
duty of 25 per cent. advalorem at those figures.
Now, had not done this, they would have ap-
praised them at the same price, namely, SO
cents, and as that would have been more
than 10 per cent in advance of the invoice.
should have had to pay, besides the regular Gus
toms duty, 20 per cent. as penalty for attempting
to defraud the government. BY this means, you
