teresting Men In Congress.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WAsHINGToN, March 20-Judge John FL.
Reagan. of Texas, although one Of the oldest
men in the House. is one of the most spry of
that body. He is sixty eight years old, is about
SIX feet two inches in height, weighs about 225
pounds and ambles along like young man.
He has probably had more experience. and a
greater variety of It, than any man in public life
to-day. The connection of Judge Reagan with
the late war would make volume Of the most
intense interest As is well known, he was
the confederate Postmaster general, and
vas JEFF Davis's most intimate personal
friend, assuming charge of all the con-
federate documents, and the wagon-loads
of gold and silver at the time Of the evacuation
of Richmond and acting as jeff Daviss personal
counselor and guard during the fight South.
But before and since the war, Judge Reagan
was and has been skirmisher. He settled in
Texas in 1889, studied law, and had much to do
with introducing civilization into that then wild
country. He was always at the front He was
a member of the constitutional convention in
1875 and has been more less identified with
that country for forty fve years. It is said he
years, and that he will probably be elected Gov
ernor.
Judge Reagan is one of the kindest Of men.
He is generous and gentle. Everybody likes
him. Especially is he popular with the repre-
sentatives of the press, whom he ever treats
courteously. His departure from Washington
life will be regretted by many when it comes.

A CONGRESSMAN IN LUCK.

"A Mean Trick Played Mr.. Wilkins by a
Pair of Conspirators.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-There are number
of members in the House who are passonately
fond of matching coins Among this number is
Representative Wilkins of Ohio. He is re-
markedly lucky, too; indeed, so lucky that many
are are afraid to try their luck with him. How
ever the other day two members put up a job
on him. They agreed to match with him and
each to hold ''head" or 'tail" at every match.
That is, both to endeavor so that one would
always match him, and then to divide their win
rings. The first member approached Mr.. Will
kins and asked him if he wanted TO match him
for quarter.
That's too small" replied Mr. Wilkins, "rll
match you for dollar"
just then the second conspirator approached,
and he. too, asked to join in, three made it
Ivelier. They matched. and Wilkins lost. Five
times the scheme worked.
Now match you for S." said Mr.. Wilkins
I lose all or get even."
They matched. He lost again.
TRY for $10,1 he said.
They matched. wilkins lost again.
Twenty dollars" cried Wilkins. He lost
-ain.
TRY $40,n said one of the conspirators.
No. said Wilkins "but I'm going to see If
really have lost my luck"
He rushed into the lobby, and the first per-
son he met was friend who was q stock broker.
"You buy me 100 shares of Erie,n he exclaimed.
Wilkins had not lost his luck for he cleared $3.50
off the stock above the money he lost matching.
The conspirators now don't know whether to re-
fund the money they won, or invite Wilkins to a
wine supper.

THE IRISH QUESTION.

England's Representative at the Dublin Par
1iament--Cabinet Dissension Denied.
LONDON, March 20.-The Daily Telegraph
this morning says that Mr.. Gladstone proposes
that lieutenant general or governor be ap-
pointed to represent England at the Dublin
Parliament, such officer to be vested with GER
tain powers of veto. The News says that if Mr..
Gladstone's scheme fails, the coercion act must
again be enforced.
The Pail Mall Gazette states that it is au-
thorized to deny that Mr.. John Morley, Chief
Secretary for Ireland; Mr.. Gea.ge Osborne Nor
gan. Under Colonial Secretary, or Mr.. Henry
Broadhurst, Under Secretary for the Home De-
partment. are opposed, as has been reported, to
Mr.. Gladstope's Irish appropriation scheme.
The authority for the statement was Cabinet

FRANCE AND GERMANY.

Growing Bitterness Between the Two Nations
Comments of German Papers.
BERLIN, March 20.-All the semi-official organ
izations continue to discuss the prospect of war
of retaliation by France against Germany They
attribute the probability of such action by
France to Orleanist schemes. The Post declares
that Germany will await the coming Of the war,
proudly resoiute and ready. All hope is aban-
doned that reconciliation between France
and Germany can be effected by reasonable
means. The Germans cannot be restrained for
an hour when the war-cloud bursts The Ma
tional Zeltung, while admitting the great prog
ress made by the French army in recent years,
says that Germany has nothing to fear while
France is isolated from the other nations.
Frenchmen, it declares, cannot pardon the Ger
mans for their victories over them on the battle
field and their successful competition against
French merchants in foreign markets. The In
PRODUCTION OF the espionage bill in the French
Chamber of Deputies has greatly embittered the
feeling in Germany against Franco.

MIR. Lamar's Hand Seen.

Washington Special.
Some surprise is expressed that the President
has requested the resignation of Governor MUIR
ray, of Utah. He has been extremely active in
enforcing the anti Mormon law, and in that way
has secured the ill-will' of the Mormons, who
have been trying to have him turned out The
Presidents message was so explicit on the Nor
mon question that it is not believed that he
has any sympathy with their feelings.
but within few days Secretary La
mar has expressed himself as opposed
to this strict Mormon legislation. He has said
that, as the Territories come under his depart
ment, be feels obliged to see that the law is exc
cuted; but personally he believes that it goes
further than is justified by facts. He is also un-
derstood not to like the Edmunds bill which
passed the Senate early in the session, but for
some reason has been held up in the House. AS
Governor Murray has arrayed the Mormons in
Utah against him by his zeal in urging on the ex-
ecution of the law, it is believed that Mr. Lamar
has been instrumental in bringing about his re-
moval in order to make way for Democrat who
will be less offensive in Utah.
