A Careful Search Fails to Reveal Anything
Resembling the London Cases.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
NEW YORK, April 10-Juvenile vice in this
city is having scrutiny by three separate sets of
investigators-the Society for the Prevention of
Crime, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children and the new Whitecross League
All were melted to the job by the Stead case in
London. The general conclusion is that no such
state of things as the Pail Mall Gazette described
exists here. A shocking amount of youthful de-
pravity has been discovered, but the children
were all free volunteers in the evil army, and
not single case warranting the prosecution of
an adult agent has been worked up. The age of
legal choice in such matters is fourteen years in
this State, and, altL oush many girls manifestly
younger have been disclosed, they invariably de-
clared that they were over the limit Their par
ents were always ready to corroborate them
The White cross League has prepared an act to
be sent at once to the Legislature, putting the
age up to sixteen. The two other organizations
named are expected to unite in influencing the
passage Of the bill. In one ease that was fol-

THE NEW CHINESE MINISTER.

WASHINGTON. April 10.-Act;ng Secretary
Fairchild has received another telegram from
Collector Hager and Surveyor Tinnin, of San

the surveyor Of customs to execute. The
steamer Gaelic, with the Chinese embassy, ar
rived on the 9th, just two days ahead of time.
The first notice came to this Office by
telephone message from the dock, half
mile away. We gave directions to OK
tend all facilities without obstruction, and
to land the embassy according to Section 13 of
the restriction act A telephone message came
that the credentials were inaccessible. He gave
directions to land them without credentials.
The embassy, about forty in number, were
landed without Identification or evidence

detention of about half an hour. There
IS a Chinese consul and vice-consul in this city,
bat this Office had no notice. official or otherwise
of the arrival of the embassy, except by tele-
phone from the dock. No discourteses were
shown the embassy. and none were complained

any other nation. The purpose of this Office WAS
to avoid giving any cause for international COM

Morrill, and Voorhees, Throwing Kisses at
Each Other and Then Embracing.
Washington Special.
There was comical scene in the Senate to-
day. For fourteen years the venerable Father
Morrill,, of Vermont, has been laboring In sea-
son and out of season to secure the passage of
bill to erect a congressional library building ON
the square east of the Capitol, where number
of private dwellings now stand While other
Senators have been posing before the country as
reformers or cultivating presidential booms. the
father of the Senate has devoted his energies
to building home for Mr.. Spofford's books. and
has shown the patience of Job with the persist
ency.of Missouri office-sesker. 1t has been
hope deferred from session to session until to-
day. when the bill which passed the House last
week went through the Senate without an OBJ
lection. The old gentleman, in his excitement
and JOY at the realization of his hopes forgot the
dignity that is his most conspicuous character
istic and tossed kiss across the Chamber to
Senator Voorhees,, who has been his active CO.
parcener. Voorhees, kissed his hand in return,
and hurried a page off with the news to Librarian
Spofford, who came ambling In, and the three
men embraced each other warmly, much to the
amusement of the Senate and the galleries.

LOBBYISTS AND ATTORNEYS.

An Explanation of the Services Rendered by
Two Glasses of Manipulators.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. April 10.-The functions of
Congressional lobbyists have been the theme for
good deal of surmise and discussion by the
committee investigating the charges of bribery
against Warder and Stealey, employs of the
House of Representatives, in connection with
the procuring of an appropriation of $780, for
the levee at Jeffersonville, Ind. During the
past ten days as many men have been asked
what they thought lobbyist or attorney before
Congress did. and every of them answered
that they did.not know. All of the men had
held office In good-sized city, and were intelli-
gent The statement simply showed the density
OF the ignorance of the masses this subject
The work of an attorney and lobbyist before
Congress is not considered dssimilar by many
people here, although there is a difference. An
attorney-if he Is legitimate one, and confines
himself to legitimate w0rk-simply presents the
legal argument, common argument in the
case to committee as he would to a jury. There
his work ends, and the work of the lobbyist be-
gins. A lobbyist confines his operations to in
dividual members. He seldom, if ever, talks to
more than one at time. BY all manner of ar
guments and persuasiveness he induces the
members of the committee, Of the whole
House or Senate, to support his bill
Capitol. where he can be seen. as he does at the
rooms Of the statesmen. Many, however, i'm
perfume the members and Senators whenever
they can. There are a number of professional
lobbyists here; but the number is not so large as
is generally supposed. There are probably not
more than fifty men and women here who make
livelihood by influencing the votes of law
makers. Many more than this humber receive
compensation with the understanding that they
will influence men; but they claim treachery and
all that sort of thing if the measure naturally
fails, and If it naturally wins they take the unc-
ton to themselves.
Quite q numbersof men have regular employ
ment here as lobbyists, or attorneys for special
matters. Some of them are for river improve
meuts, others the Hennepin canal, the whisky
interests, iron and other industries. They are
paid so much year to see that injurious
legislation is passed. The land-grant railroads
have kept lobby here for years. These men
are real lobbyists, as they do not appear and
make arguments before committees as attorneys
do. Attorneys are employed when this is to be
done. The lobbyists field is personal or single
contact with the legislators

HUoKsrERs IN THE CAPITOL.

Threat to Remove the Trinket-Sellers and
Junk-Dealers That Use the Building.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 10-A threat has been
made by the House committee on rules to clear
ont the many little trinket-sellers in the south
end of the Capitol, and to make the approaches
to the House as clear and dignifed as those lead
ing to the Senate. There has been quite home
like disposition shown all along by members eff
the House that is in wide contrast to the man
ners of the Senate, and now revolution is
threatened.
As one approaches the hall Of the House Of
Representatives from the Senate he is impressed
with the abundante of lunch, candy, cigar,
news, apple, and other stands on every hand
Then there are telegraph Offices and display of
junketry that reminds one of the vicinity of a
main stand at country fair. Members stand
around these places eating pie. mrnching
fruit, smoking, reading, writing kilograms, talk
ing. and otherwise blocking the way and reliev-
ing the scene of all vestige of dignity. There Is
nothing to impress the stranger that he is in the
presence of the lower branch of the Congress of
the United States.
The line seems to have been drawn against but
one thing, and that is the vending of newspapers
by boys. The boot-black is also excluded, and
the cries of the fakir are not heard But there
are enough stands to supply market place.
Great heaps of photographs of Congressman and
Senator's pieces of statuary from the pulp Of
paper currency, besides rare bits of olive wood
from Palestine Tor Maine), and piles of every
kind of trinkets which, go to make up the stock
of miniature fancy notion stores-all right at the
threshold of the main entrance to the House of
Representatives. Now it is proposed that these
nicknack venders shall be ordered out of the cor
ridors, and given space below, on the next floor.
They have been suffered to remain where they
are for the convenience of members. who, in a
minute, can run off the floor of the House and
buy most any little need of nature and be in
their seats again within a minute.
How different are the arrangements Of the
Senate! The broad corridors leading to the Sem
ate Chamber are clear of every thing. There is
stately dignity about the place, and an air of
exclusiveness to be found nowhere else. No
pie-sellers or news stands are in view, and no
Senators are lounging arehnd, smoking reading
or eating All is quiet and supreme in dignity.
The restaurant on the lower floor furnishes all
the Senators want to avail themselves of-ex-
cept, in some instances. rare brands Of old stim-
ulants, and they are kept in committee rooms.
The members of the House would assist very
materially toward better state of things if they
would consider their personal actions. A mem
Der becomes the most careless individual about
the House. He seems to have no regard for
looks or acts, and the under offieias-commit-

dress, etiquette and general good manners In
many instances. All members are not of this
loose personal character, but majority are and
very decidedly so.

GREELEY'S NOMINATION.
His Selection by the Democrats Was the Re-
suit of q Blunder.

Jules Guthrdge, in Chicago News.
Did you KNOW said a New York member of
Congress this morning, "that the nomination of
Horace Greeley for the presidency in 1872 was
the result of a blunder, and that those who were
surprised the most were the very people who had
done the most to bring it about II is an inter-
esting story. If you remember, 1t required great
effort on the part Of Lyman Trumbull, Carl
Schurz and the other friends of the liberal move
ment to enlist Mr.. Greeley's symrathies in the
cause. When he did SO. however, we Democrats
felt that we had gained powerful ally, and our
hearts warmed, as it were, to our old enemy Of
the Tribune Shortly after this the Democratic
Liberal convention was neld at Cincinnati The
new York delegation was not pledged to any
candidate, but the prevailing sentiment was that
David Davis, of Illinois, would bs the most ac-
ceptable man to pit against General Grant Mr..
Davis was very popular with the moneyed classes
OF the East He was man of high character and
broad attainments, and we believed his candidacy
would give us good fighting chance of Sc
curing the electoral vote of Illinois But we
felt very grateful to Mr. Greeley. We decided,
therefore, that we would give him acomplmeutl
ary vote in the convention as an expression OF
our kindly regard We went out to Cincinnati
in special train. with drums beating and flags
flying, seyenty-two delegates and probably two
hundred others who had no business there. but
wanted to see the fun AS soon as we arrived we
began talking Greeley. This was done for q
lark, You must remember. but we talked about
him so much that we soon started great boom
for him. We concluded, however, that
this would do us no harm. and that, at
the proper moment, he could be quietly set
aside, when we would bend our energies, first
to the nomination OF David Davis, or failing in
that, the nomination OF Charles Francis Adams

Kentucky cast her twenty six votes for Horace

Mr.. Greeley we were bound to make good the
promise. and when New York's seventyswo
votes followed Kentucky's twentysix the con-
vention became wild with excitement and from
that time until the rol-eall was finished nothing
could be heard but shouts for Greeley. We at

but it was too late. Greeley was nominated on
