WASHINGTON, March l4-..It won't be but a
short time till all the colored men here will have
been dismissed if the officials keep up the record
they have made" said an old employe at the
Treasury Department yesterday.
'Haye many colored men been discharged
during the pastyear from the Treasury27 asked.
''Well about half of then" was the reply.
Then, after pause, rs if making calculation, he
continued: Eyes, more than half of the colored
men who were here two years ago
are not here now. You see this admins
tration doesn't like the negro very much, and
then the outside influence in the party is strong
against him. Whenever a Southern Democrat
comes in and wants place for some fellow and
is told there are no places vacant you invariably
hear him say:
why don't you turn out some of these -
niggersr
And tell you good many of them have in
that way been discharged A couple of them
went out yesterday-a man in the Sixth Audit
ors Office and another in the office of the Super
vising Architect. One by one they go, and soon
none will be left"

THE QUARREL WITH THE SENATE.

The President Realizes that He Has Made q
Mistake-What Is Said by Democrats.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON March 14-President Cleveland
very much regrets, am reliably informed, the
position he has got himself into with the ma
jority of the Senate, and realizes that it will be
part of the issues in the campaign this fall.
There are very few people here who do not be
lieve that the next House of Representatives
will be decidedly Republican; and, strange as it
may seem, there are scores of members among
the Democrats of that body who want to see il
Republican. This Is because they do not in
dorse the present administration and want to
see what they term ga mild rebuke" admins
tered to it before the next Presidential cam
paign.
Mr.. Cleveland has injured himself more In his
own party, if possible, than among Republicans
by his general course in his difficulty with the
Senate He has snubbed men in both branches
of Congress who have gone to him as party and
personal friends to advise him. Said an old
Democratic Representative to your correspond
emit on this points,
II have been used, for twenty years or more.
to being listened to when went to party man
to give my views and advice, but l had not
spoken dozen sentences before I discovered
that had encountered one man who would not
consider what said. He began to make contra
dictory expressions, and sit down upon me before
he had fair conception of what l was going to
say. l don't like to be Anticipated to that ex-
tent. And then when / left felt sure that I
had only FURNISHED the determination the PIesi-
dent entertained when went to him, and chat
instead of moving him had simply made him
more firm"
One hears expressions similar to this one every
day. Men who are expected by the President to
defend his administration on the floors of Con-
gress want to feel that they are something more
than cats,paws-that they are something more
in the estimation Of the chief executive than his
mouthpieces
Then there are few Democrats who will not
say frankly, in private conversation that il they
were in control at the White House they would
have complied with the demand of the Senate,
and that the snarl the President is in win do
and ought to do the party injury.
A serious aspect of this affair, taken by the
representative Democrats fresh from their con-
stituents, is the inclinatian of the President to
drift away from the people and elevate and
make more powerful the functions of his Office.
They say it is to the contrary of Jeffersonian
principles and in violation of the party's profess
sions Then the placing of private letters black
ening the reputation of honorable Republican
ofice-holders on the public files of the depart
ments is burning provocation

ENGLISH TRADE DEPRESSION.
A Sudden Awakening of Interest in Vital
Question-The Currency Question.

Sudden Awakening of Interest in q Vital
Question-The Currency Question.
LONDON March 13-The discussion of ques-
tions touching the prevailing depressed condi-
tion of trade and the distress Of the unemployed
workingmen is quickened by the tidings of the
conflicts between capital and labor which are
now in progress in America A notable instance
Of the sudden awakening of interest is shown in
the proceedings Of the House Of Commons last
night when Mr.. Richard Dawson and Mr.. Will
lam Beckett Denison, Conservative members,
respectively, for Leeds and Nottinghamshire,
pressed Mr. Chamberlain very hard respecting
the indisposition of the government to relieve
the prevailing distress by providing employment
for the idle workingmen upon useful public
works
Despite the open advocacy of state socialism
in the form Of an eight hour law by Lord Rose
berry, a curious indication Of the future lines of
cleavage IN politics was given during the debate
which followed the inquiries of Messrs. Dawson
and benson, in the spectacle of Mr.. Chamber
lain lRadical), Mr.. Bradlaugh (Democrat), and
Mr. Balfour CONSERVATIVE, all standing togeth-
er In opposition to state socialism. The most
practical step which has yet been taken toward
the relief Of the distress is Mr.. Goschen's mo-
ton, which was laid on the table until Monday
demanding that the government shall separate
the question of demonetizing silver from the
general subject OF depression of trade, and EN-
power special committee to treat independent
ly the relations of silver to commerce and indus
try. The acute distress prevailing in gold
monometalc Holland reinforces the argument
of the English bmetalist, so tersely put by
Samuel Montague NJ. p, who, after Rothschild,
is the leading dealer in money in London, that
''the whole trade of the world was built up by
the aid of gold and silver combined. Discharg-
ing silver weakens the underpinnings. A man
accustomed to walking with two legs can only
hop clumsily with one even though it may be
golden like Miss Kilmanseegs."

of. Among the stolen goods was large sum
of cash and a savings bank book. The day after
the murder a tall man, exactly answering to the
description Of the supposed assassin, presented
this book at . bank in the Buergerplatz, and
asked for loan Of 1000 gulden. Struck by TIE
largeness of the sum demanded, the cashier re-
fused the money, and endeavored to get posses
sion of the book. After short tussle, however,
the applicant snatched it away and vanished be-
fore he could be apprehended Since ten,
though the police have made search in all direc-
tons, the murderer has not been heard of. The
crime has created CONSERVATION in Vienna. and,
as in London and in Paris, the people here are
clamoring for more efficient police protection.

Some days ago the House banking and cur
rency committee addressed letters to Treasurer
Jordan and Secretary Manning. asking them to
appear before the committee this morning and
give their views on four of the most important
bills now under consideration by the committee
namely, the Hewitt bill to secure a uniform
standard Of value, the Culberson bill to prevent
contraction of the currency, the Miller bill to
provide for small bills and the Warner bill to
authorize the issue of treasury notes in place Of
retired national bank notes. But neither of the
gentlemen made his appearance. Instead, Mr..
Jordan sent word that if a conference is desired
the committee must come to see him at his
Office after Office hours; and the COM
mittee. after some elaboration, decided
to call upon the Treasurer, accordingly,
this evening. Mr.. Manning wrote that s.hs
time was fully occupied by the current bust
ness Of the department that it was impossible
for him to make such study of these proposed
measures at present as their Importance de-
rnands" He added that he was willing to confer
with the committee at any time and give the
members all the information he could
The Secretary's reply is considered rather as
tonshing, especially as the bills under consider
alton relate directly to some of the most vital
and common affairs of the Treasury Departments
People ask If Mr.. Manning hasn't time to study
up these matters.

The advertiser was Frau Kuehnel, a respecta-

floor of house in the Erdberger strasse.
Numerous applicants replied to the appeal, but
none exactly hit the widows taste, and the 1000
gulden remained untouched in snug corner of
a chest of drawers in her bedroom. One day a
tall man of about fifty knocked at her door, and
inquired In an insinuating voice, whether he had
the honor in addressing Frau Kuehnel.

THE INDIAN TERRITORY.
The Little Technically That Stands in the
Way of Anxious Settlers.

The Little Technically That Stands in the
Way of Anxious Settlers.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 14--During the past
week much has been said in tho House about the
Indian Territory, and it is very probable that
much more will be said upon the subject before
the session ends. There are number of bills
pending which affect the Indian Territory. They
propose to extend State laws over that country;
to organize it all into Territory; to make Ter
ritory of the unoccupied portions and open it up
to settlement, ETC.
The most plausible proposition seems to have
been suggested by Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois,
who is well versed in Indian affairs. Speaking
of the Oklahoma boom to-day he said:
''There are Al. 600. 900 acres of land in the In
dian Territory. Altogether there are TO- O06
Indians upon the land; but all of 1t is not occu.
pied by them. Over 100000 acres have been
leased to cattle men, and they hold it, while the
army is used to drive out Settlers whose highest
ambition is for so or 160 acres OF land for
home. But the settler cannot get upon the land
on account of technicality."
What is the technicaltyl"
THAT it was obtained for a specific purpose
for the Indians replied Mr.. Canpop. "These
leases to cattle kings are but qnalifed sales If
hundred yearsl"
What do you think Congress ought to do in
the premises| asked.
Justice to the Indians and to the people who
want to settle upon the lands" replied Mr. Can
non; "and that can be done by giving to each of
these Indians-man, woman and child-S0 acres
of land, in severalty. / would put them on the
land allotted to them, and there protect them.
Then there would te left il the Territory about
80. 600, 600 acres of land I would make it lawful
for settlers to go in and buy this land in tracts of
so and l60 acres lat 81 or 81 % an acre for settle
ment, and nothing but settlement. would let
the honest, law-abiding white man-who has
never and who does not mean to harm the In
dian intentionally-take his farm implements,
his Bible. his civilization, and his industry. and
settle among the Indians"
"Dont you think the Indians would finally be-
come destitute if deprived of the governments
support and that they would lose their lands?"
mo, NO not, if proper precautions are taken"
said Mr. Cannon. II would give the Indians
the proceeds from the sale of the surplus lands
and the lands they retained would be made in
alienable for at least generation, or two gener
atoms. The fund created by the sale of the 3d..
600, 900 acres of land could be held in trust ny
the government, and would keep tho Indians
from becoming paupers.n
