THE RECENT ELECTIONS.

Democrats Who Predict and Wish that the
Coming Congress May Be Republican.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-The result of the
spring elections in Ohio and Indiana has had a
wonderful effect upon the Democrats in Con-
gress here. They are awakening to the fact
that the prospects of success this fall are de-
cidedly SLIM and there are not few of them
who openly predict that the Fiftieth Congress
will be Republican beyond doubt There
is, withal, a disposition ON the part Of
many to look upon this fact as godsend to the
Democratic party, as they believe that nothing
would bring Mr.. Cleveland to his senses quicker
than the rousing defeat Of his party this fall.
Cleveland's course in the matter of the distribu-
ton of offices is in the nature of a very am
biguous one. He is trying to make the country
believe that the delay in filling tho vacancies
is occasioned solely by the fact that the
Republican Senate refuses to act upon
his nominations. The fact is that there are at
present several hundred vacancies occasioned
by the expiration of the terms Of the Republican
officials, still holding over, which Cleveland
might fill if he desired, and if he should choose
good men to fill the positions there is no one to
oppose him. But he prefers to remain in the
position of martyr, and is attempting to make
the country believe that the de-
lay in filling these Offices is occasioned
solely by the fact that the Senate has not con-
frmed those whose names he has sent in. Dem
ocrats everywhere can best show their resent
ment for this sort of treatment en the part of
the chief magistrate by allowing the congress
sional elections to go by default this coming fall,
thereby insuring not only rebuke to the Pres
dent but Congress which will be likely to
accomplish far more than the present body can
possibly do

The Work of the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 9-The superior cable serv-
ice of the Associated Press yesterday deserves
special mention. 1t was the most rapid and
thorough work ever done for the American news
papers. For the first time, two distinct reports
were made, one for the afternoon papers, and
another, containing an almost verbatim report
of Gladstone's great speech, and an abstract of
Parnell's, with the comments of the London pa
pers on the measure proposed The descriptive
parts of both reports were in good taste and
highly graphic, and the transmission by cable
was free from errors. The Associated Press had
made very liberal arrangements in London for
this work in advance, the most experienced men
being employed and no expense being spared.
The matter was handled at this end with such
dispatch that the last word was supplied to
editors by midnight The report fills broad

The Offer of Editor Stilson Eutchins to
Relieve Him of 1t.
WASHINGTON. April 9.-Mr. Stilson Hutchins,
of the Washington Post, appeared before the
telephone investigating committee, to-day. and,
being questioned by the chairman as to his offer
to buy Senator Vests Pan electric stock, gave
history of the transaction. An advertisement
appeared in his paper offering to purchase that
stock, and Senator Vest who was i'll at the time.
had sent the witness note asking him to come
and see him. He had gone to the Senate cham
Der. and saw Senator Vest in the lobby. The
Senator wanted to inquire whether he knew who
was the author of the advertisement. The witness
did not know, and after inquiry had failed to
find out. He returned and told Senator Vest that
he could not find out The Senator had certifi-
cate for one hundred shares of Pan-electrc stock.
He said that the newspapers were making
much clamor about it that If he could find q bona
fde purchaser for it he would sell it, In spasm
of generosity, the witness supposed, the witness
offered TO take the stock at the price the Sena-
tor had paid for IL. The Senator made no con-
elusive response at the time, but afterward
wrote the witness stating that, considering the
clamor TO be unjust, he had come to the conclu-
sion that he would retain the stock. The wit
ness had the note. if the committee desired to
see It, He never had share of the stock, and
knew nothing about it's value at the time he
made the proposition
Mr.. Oates-Did you think Rogerss poetry
was as good as the stock2
The Witness-I thought it very bad. The
witness had not read the poetry
Mr. Ranney-Was the stock sent to you as an
inducement to read the poetryl
The Witness think his letter stated that
the stock was coming up in the market that he
had written some poetry which he would like to
have published and that if would publish it he
would give me $l00 in Pan-electric stock

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
No Increase in the Volume of Merchandise
Distributed-The Industrial Situation.

NEW YORK, April Especial kilograms to
Bradstreet's from prominent business centers do
not reveal any general gain in the volume of
merchandise distributed during the past week.
Memphis and Louisville report slight improve
ment, owing to better weather. At ST. Louis
the business community is suffering from mad
equate railway facilities, and is adapting itself
to the diminished demands. Chicago admits
that the boom which was looked for month
ago is missing, and that purchases are made on
a more conservative basis. The leading lines
there report their volume of business as medium
only At other interior markets no special
changes are noted. At the East bust
ness is quiet in all important lines.
The reports as to floods and unfavorable weather
at the South and West are being replaced by
more encouraging news, though advices as to
the condition of country roads indicate that they
are almost uniformly bad. Dry goods at first
and second hands are not SO brisk as expected.
Wool is quiet, with prices favoring buyers. The
general industrial situation is somewhat i'm
proved. The Southwestern railway strike has
lost some of its worst features, though presum-
ably including great part of those who origin
ally struck. Iron, raw and manufactured,
at the East Some varieties have
been shaded on actual sales at
St Louis. Wheat has suffered, and prices of
cash No. red, at New York have gone off %

Northwestern markets is about cents. and this
in the face of the most active buying for export
trade. Flour is nominal and in less demand
from abroad, with an average reduction of about
10 cents per barrel Grain ocean freights at
New York have been higher, owing to the inn

have been the feature. A better consumptive
demand results in better prices for sugar, and

The Jeffersonville Levee.

WASHINGTON. April 9.-Mr. E. N. Hill, an
attorney of this city, testified before the House
committee on civil-service reform to-day in re-
gard to his services in securing the appropfa-
ton for the construction of levee at Jefferson
vile, Ind He stated that he only gave advice
on the subject to Mr. Wardar, and rendered the
ordinary legal services. He did not appear be-
fore either of the committees having the subject
under consideration. He did not consider his
fees, $l,25C, excessive. The minority of the
committee cross-examined the witness at length
concerning his political and other acts for the
purpose of impeaching his credit as witness.
The committee adjourned, subject to the call of
the chairman. 1t is not probable that any more
testimony will be taken. The case will be sub
mitted without argument

FOREIGN MISCELLANY.

Socialist Burns Thinks His Language No
More Seditious than Gladstone's.
LONDON, April 9-Burns, the Socialist leader,
in defending himself and his colleagues, to-day,
during their trial on the charge of having melted
the Trafalgar-square riots, said that the occasion
demanded strong language He contended that,
if the language for which he and the other de
PENDANTS were being tried was seditious, then
the speech of Mr.. Gladstone in the House of
Commons, last evening. when he proposed the
disintegration of the empire, was seditious also.

Comments of the Press.

LONDON. April 9-The newspapers through
out Great Britain and Ireland comment at great
length on Mr. Gladstone's scheme for Irish gov
eminent The Liverpool Post says that
whether Mr.. Gladstone is successful or not in
carrying his bill through Parliament he has for
ever killed oppression and coercion IN Ireland
Proposals SO unexpected as those made by the
Premier, the Post says, require time to consider.
The Manchester Guardian says it is a scheme
substantially for the repeal of the legislative
union between Great Britain and Ireland. If
the bill is not rejected by Parliament, it must,
in its central feature be re-cast. The repre-
sentation of Ireland at Westminster must be re-
tanned Then, with this modification, the meas
ure may pass.
The Newcastle journal declares the scheme
that, it is crude and dangerous and is certain to
be rejected. The Newcastle Chronicle on the
other hand, says: Though the measure may
admit of Improvement in detail. it is the best
scheme presented 20 Parliament
The Edinburgh Scotsman says: "The bill will
not do as it stands. The exclusion Of Irish mem
bers from Westminster will be fatal Mr. Glad
stone has approached the subject with heroic spir-
it, but his desire to be generous to ireland has
ried him 200 far He was asked to give home
rule, ana ne proposes TO give repeai IL Is SaIe
to say that the country will not sanction the
scheme"
The Edinburgh Daily Review recognizes Mr.
Gladstones pure, lofty and patriotic aims, but
says it is disappointed at the exclusion OF Irish
members from the imperial Parliament.
The Edinburgh Scotch Reformer commends the
scheme and pleads for Scotch home rule.
The Aberdeen journal pronounces the propo-
sails repulslve to every instinct of the British
people. and fatal to MIR. Gladstones reputation.
Dispatches from all over Great Britain and
Ireland show that everywhere popular interest
was absorbed in the outcome Of yesterday even
ing's proceedings in the House of Commons
Extra editions of the various daily newspapers
were issued in all the provincial towns rapidly
as news could be obtained from London and
printed, and the sales everywhere are reported

dom, and remained over night to hear the earli-
est and latest news from Parliament.

The story is again renewed that Mr.. Garland
will soon resign. He hardly goes to Cabinet
meetings, and when not in his Office, keeps
closely at home where he refuses himself to all

as very moody and inclined to be Respondent,
