Washington Special.
The wedding of Judge Matthews will take
place on June 25, in New York. The bridal
couple will sail for Europe. and it is not likely
they will come to Washington before the late
autumn. The Misses Matthews expect to spend
the summer at Glendale, near Cincinnati, where
the family have home and have generally spent
their summers. The Glendale home was owned
by their mother, and after building the new
house here she was advised to sell it, but always
refused to part with it, Mrs. Matthews always
spoke of their Glendale home with much affec-
tion Mrs. Theaker was the second wife of
Judge Theaker, and several years his junior
She was clerk In one of the departments at the
time she married him, and was admired for her
beauty. She is now forty -four, has no children,
and is still handsome, attractive woman.

Justice Matthews was made early in January,
when she was here for stay of two or three
weeks. Nobody suspected the Judges frequent

Relations OF the President with Secretary
Manning and Mr.. Thorn.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 1Z-President Cleveland
has fewer personal friends among his advisers
and officials than any other President who has
preceded him. Secretary Manning's illness will,
in all probability, remove one of the Presidents
most intimate, although newer friends, event
ually, although Secretary Manning may not
leave the Treasury just at present. Cleveland
knew very little of his Secretary of the Treasury
before he went to Albany three years ago last
January, but from the time he assumed control
of the executive affairs of New York State until
the present moment the utmost cordiality has
existed between Grover Cleveland and Daniel
Manning. 1t would be a severe blow to the
President to lose him. and Manning will rot give
up the Office unless absolutely compelled to do so
by his physicians.
One of the other men holding prominent po
sition in the government to-day, whom the Pres
ident regards with great favor is the Hon. Frank
Thorn, of Erie county, New York, who is acting
chief of the coast survey. This gentleman is a

that existed in the coast survey of business
methods. At the time of his designation
to this position Mr.. Thorn held
the position of chief clerk Of the
Internal Revenue Bureau. His promotion to

voluminous abuse by the Democratic newspa-

A General Strike Expected Because of Failure

ST. Louis, May 17-About 500 members of
| the Brewers Labor Union met a. Central Turner
Hall yesterday afternoon to decide what action
they should take regarding the present differ.
ences between themselves and their employers.
The conference committee reported that all en-
deavors to secure concessions from the employ

been called upon and asked to sign promise to
live up to the agreement made some time ago.
but that every one had refused to do so, on the
ground that the brewers could not act individu-
ally, but must take only such action as was
agreed to by the others. The chairman stated
that the brewers had endeavored to break up the
union by inducing the men TO sign a statement
to the effect that they were satisfied with their
hours and pay, but he pointed to the large meet
ing before him as evidence that the union was
still in existence. Some of the members said
that several of the broweries had used intimida-
'tion to obtain the signatures Of the men TO the
statement referred to- A resolution was passed
condemning the action of the brewers who OBJ

or intimidation, and declaring such signatures

1t is expected that If further efforts looking to

A subcommittee from the executive commit
tee of the Brewers Union, accompanied by two
members from the Central Labor Union, called
to-day upon Mr.. Charles G. Stfel, president Of
the Beer Brewers Association, to confer with
him in regard to the demands made recently by
the brewers employees. Mr. Stifel refused to
confer with the committee, on the ground that
some of its members were not brewers. Mr..
Herzeberg, chairman of the committee, in
formed Mr.. Stifel that he had previously re-
fused to confer with a committee composed
wholly of brewers, and that they had resorted
to this the only means of settling the existing
difficulties Mr.. Stfel became enraged at this,
and calling the chairman liar, ordered his
ejectment from the room Tho order was
promptly obeyed, and the indignant committee
withdrew to Turner Hall, where O number Of
brewers were awaiting their return. A meet
ing was held and resolution boycotting Stifels
beer was unanimously adopted. This failure at

Special to the Indianaooiis Journal.

there was quite scene in the rotunda of the
Capitol, and at one time it appeared that the fa-
ther of the House, Judge Kelley, of Pennsylva-
mia, had got himself in bad scrape He has
been pestered almost to death for months by

some position, which Endorsement Judge Kelley
declined to give On the day in oucs-
tion this fellow approached the Judge
again, and the Pennsylvania statesman
proceeded to give him talking to,
in that high keyed voice of his, which soon
drew around him great crowd. Several OF the
Capitol policemen, hearing the commotion,
thought that the colored man had attacked
Judge Kelley, and, rushing up to him. they
seized him By the slack of his clothes and before
he knew what had happened to him and what
the commotion was about, he found himself on
the plaza at the east front of the Capitol. Mr..
Kelley returned to the House, and the crowd
dispersed.

rmE SENATE LAND mn.

The senate has passed a bill repeating
the pre- emption and timber culture laws,
and so amending the desert act as entirely
to change its leading features. The house
bill repeating all land laws except the
homestead act, was reported from the
senate committee on June II. with an
amendment, to strike out all after the
enacting clause and to insert sections re-
pealing the pre- emption and timber cul-
ture laws and amending the desert act by
adding provisions substantially identical
with those published in THF LEADLR

in bitches and other improvements of 50
an acre, or 81 for each year Of the three
allowed the entryman within which to
prove up, emitting the crop requirements,
heretofore insisted on with great strict
ness, and further extending the operation
OF the act of the state of Colorado. This
information is derived from the Congress
sional Record where the amendments are
set forth in full. The telegraptic report
of the proceedings las. night is so meagre
that it is left uncertain to what extent
this senatc bill may have been altered
from the original reported, but there is
reason to hope that a good and practical
desert act remains. To this the house is
not likely to agree, and legislation on the
subject will probably fail for this session,
