A PERPLExED SENATOR.


The Political Difficulties Surrounding MIR.
German, of Maryland.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Now that the time has
come for the appointment of the principal feder-
al officers in Maryland, Senator German finds
himself in sad predicament When the timber
was being gathered to make the Cabinet Mr.. Cor
man had hand in selecting it, and in return Sc
cured promises of help from at least three mem
bers of it in getting back to the Senate The expla
nation of the celebrated Higgins and Thomas ap-
pointments is that German used his account with
these Cabinet officers to show to the people of
Maryland that he had power to name for Office
whomever he chose, matter how disreputa-
ble The repeated failures of his enemies to
oust these obnoxious men only strengthened
believed indeed that he had the power he
claimed.
With this aid from the Cabinet and the Presi-
dent, Mr.. German won many opponents and old
mugwumps to his party by promises of sup
port for positions, and the general distribution
takes places this month. 1t was extremely lucky
for Mr.. German that the commissions of all the
officers in Maryland, except the postmaster at
Baltimore, did net expire till after the recent
election by the Legislature. He improved this
opportunity and promised every important ap-
polntment TO no less than half dozen politicians
who he thought could aid him in his return
to the Senate. Now he finds himself
confronted with these men and promises. But
the worst Is not this for, although he has made
his choice, other members of the Maryland dele
cation are demanding recognition and share of
its patronage. He has won his battle for an
other term in the Senate, and the Cabinet Off
GERS declare they have fulfilled their promises;
the President has lost confidence in him. be-
cause OF the odium brought upon the admins
tration by the two appointments urged by him.
and daily he is bounded by the hungry aspirants
who have been promised place. Within the last
week Gorman's lot was rough that he disap-
peared, and up to yesterday no one knew his
hiding place. Every one is anxious to see how
the trouble will terminate.
One thing is sure: Mr. Gorman's power is fail
ing in Maryland, and he cannot be reelected
again. He was returned few weeks ago only
at the expense OF political blood, fraud and many
thousands of personal money and his best
friends say he cannot recover his strength.

ARREARAGEs OF PENSION.
The Attitude the Democratic Members of the
House Will Take.

The Attitude the Democratic Members of the
House VIII Take.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. Awe propose to put
the Republicans in the same box they have been
trying to put our party into" said a Democratic
congressman to-day. 1.-THE Republicans" con-
tinued he, ''have been laboring to put us on
record against the repeal of the limitation of
arrearages of pensions, and / guess they have
succeeded. We acknowledge that we oppose the
unbridling of this pension business. We are
against further payment Of arrearages. This
thing must stop somewhere"
''How do you propose to get the Republicans
in a box?" asked.
''By passinga tariff bill in the House and COM
pelling the Republican Senate to accept it or
vote it down. Of course they will defeat it.
This will place the issues in the next campaign
in this attitude: Tariff reform by the Demo
cratic party against robbery of the Treasury to
pay pensions to a reckless amount. ] hardly
think we want better position before the coun-
try. The soldiers themselves are tired of this
pension howl"
Mr.. Bynum stated to the Journal correspond
ent, this afternoon, that he was not opposed to
repeal of the Limitation clause of the arrearages
of pension act: that he voted with the opposition
to it the other day simply as a matter of ex-
pediency. and would support repeal of the limi-
tation when the bill comes up for passage. Tho
other Democratic members from Indiana who
voted against General Brownies amendment re-
pealing the limitation of the arrearages act have
tnued to stand out against the measure, and
therefore, against the interests of soldiers. All
the Republican members from the State are en-
Enthusiastically in favor of and working for it.

ANOTHER GOTHAM GENERAL In TROUBLE.
This One Is Not Charged with Theft of Pub
lie Funds, but with Bluebeardism.

NEW YORK, Feb. Mrs Sarah Amelia
Dunn wife of Gen. u. Gano Dunn has brought
suit against her husband for separation and ali
mony General Dunn is a practicing lawyer of
this city, and has been somewhat prominent
politically. He was engineer-i chief on Cover
nor John A. Dix's staff. and was a member of the
committee of seventy. which destroyed the
Tweed ring He is son Of Professor Dunn, of
Rutgers Female College Mrs. Dunn is
daughter of the late DR.. Silleck. They were
married Oct. 80, 1867, and have three sons, Gano,
aged fifteen; Cleveland A.. aged thirteen, and
Harris A, aged seven. In her complaint Mrs.
Dunn alleges that after JAN l. 1873. her hus-
band treated her cruelty and inhumanly, chok-
ing her. hurting glassware, dictionary and
other things at her. banging her head against
table. beating her children, and finally. on De-
cember last, driving her from his home She
also alleges that since Jan. 7, 1884. General
Dunn has kept continually residing with him
Mrs. Maria C0swell, alias Mrs. Gano, whom he
brought into the home under the pretense that
she was a client whose presence it was neces-
sary to have, and that he drove out with her
alone to places of pleasure, representing her at
times as his cousin, and at times as his wife, and
that she gradually assumed the mistressship of
the house.
Mrs. Coswell was the wife of Charles s. Cos
WELL of Brooklyn, with whom she lived for nine
teen years. She left him in January, 1884. and
had her marriage declared null and void because
Coswel was a divorced man when he married
her.
General Dunn's counsel said that his client
denied treating his wife with cruelty. Their
tempers were incompatible, and for years they
had not lived together as man and wife. Their
troubles were caused mainly by a religious
monomania of Mrs. Dunn. He claimed that
his wife's accusation was in great part due to an
unreasonable jealousy.

DISORDERS IN MEXICO.
A Town Threatened by Observation-Disclosures
at MatamoraS.

A Town Threatened by Bandits-LawIessness
at Matamoras.
ST. Louis, Feb. 4-Specias from Jemulco,
Mexico, to the Globe Democrat say that che
whole town of Jemulco is in arms, and hourly
the people anticipate attack from large band
OF Mexican mountain bandits It is thought
that unknown persons in the town
are in league with the thieves to
pillage the city. No one knows how
well the attack may be planned, and much ap
prehension exists. Tine authorities are on the
alert. and every available piece of firearms is
brought into use, but it is feared that wel-pre-
pared plot may prove successful in overpowering
the town people. The citizens are in dreadful
suspense, and bloodshed is momentarily ex-
pected.
The same paper, from Matamoras, says the
deputies of the State Congress will be elected
next Sunday, and it is hoped that after the cleo
tion some sort of order can be restored. Every
night pistols are fired in the streets, and
assaults and murders are frequent.
The better class of the community
stir abroad but little after dark, and then every
body goes heavily armed. 1t is said an attempt
was made on Tuesday night to assassinate Gen.
Vlllareal, commander of the troops, as he was
nearing his house, three men being of the party,
but no details can be obtained.

who. of course, could not be appointed to office
while under the shadow Of the Crawford scandal.
A striking feature of the political situation is
the growing virulence of the personalities and
abuse INDUCED in by the speakers Professor
Rogers, in alludng to the Tory objection to
Lord Salisburys having resigned on an agrarian
side issue, instead of on the Irish question,
pleasantly remarked that criminals are not al
lowed to choose their gallows. At meeting of
an aniable Radical club Mr.. Gladstone was re-
peatedly denounced as scoundrel, until some
peace-loving members suggested that the ex-
preston should be avoided-not out of any con-
sideration for the Premier. but because it dis
turbed the comfort of the club and checked dis
cussion. A speaker in an important Radical
meeting held in Pail Mall advised his hearers to
avoid Carlton House Terrace where Mr.. Glad

An insignificant Looking Queen


London Letter in Dublin Freeman's journal.
Her Majesty looked more Insignificant and
dumpy than ever Although her face is not thin,
ana still less could it be called pale yet it bears
anindescribable expression of misery and trouble.
The natural DETECTION Of the corners of the
mouth has, no doubt, something to do with this.
1t is not surprising that as her Majesty grows
Older the imperiousness and impatience of dispo-
sition of which Greville and others speak should
have grown more observable. Lord Salisbury
had taste of his royal mistress's quality in this
respect. After she had taken her place on the
throne, Lord Salisbury beside her. in his faded
peers robes with the sword Of state in his right
hand-looking for all the world like a bent pill
grim with his staff-the noble lord took the lib
erty of looking around the house. In doing this
he partly turned his back on the Queen, who
having motioned him to resume his position fac
ing her without effect raped her fan sharply on
her royal knuckles. and brought the Prime Min
lster to attention with as much rapidity as if
pin had been stuck in MIN. Her Majesty after
ward recovered her composure. and she conde-
scended even to smile, as in ma joralike torrent
the faithful Commons threatened to carry every
thing before them. and appeared at the bar very
much as if they had emerged from free fight
at an election meeting In conclusion, | may
mention that nothing could be more striking
than the resemblance borne by the Prince of
Wales in his royal robes to Henry VIII.
