learn what the reports meant, and pending an
answer many sensational stories were put into
active circulation by the gossips. Among other
things it was said that the Democratic admins
stration had unearrhed nest of scandal deeply
compromising to its predecessor in national
authority, and the public was about to be treated
to an explosion that would relegate all recent
corruption bombs to utter insignihcance. int.
mates of Barney Biglin and others identified
with the administration of ex-President Arthur
while that gentleman was collector Of the port OF
New York, wero indignant at the charges,
and branded them as false in every particular. AT
midnight news was received from usually reli-
able sources in Washington to the effect that the
commissioner of customs had recommended to
the Secretary of the Treasury that suits be en-
tered forthwith against the persons of ex-Presl-
dent Chester A. Arthur and ex-Collector Robert
son for recovery of alleged shortages in the ac-
counts of each while collector of this port The
amount for which it is alleged Mr.. Arthur is held
responsible was put at ST. 900. although there was
the coupled speculation that it would largely ex-
coed that figure, while the amount said to be
chargeable to Robertson would not fall short OF
$4,000 The Treasury department has, it is
claimed. repeatedly summoned the extinction
aries to cancel their alleged Indebtedness to the
government Tt was added that President Cleve-
land had become nettled by the apparent indif-
ference of ex-Presdent Arthur and his success
or in the colectorship, and had directed the
Treasury Department to take determined steps
in the matter at once. A Journal reporter sought
ex-President Arthur at his Lexington-avenue
residence last evening, but word was returned
that he was not at home An industrious effort
to discover his whereabouts was equally futile.

Southern Representatives Enter Vigorous
Protest Against Its Passage.
WASHINGTON March 8.-Ciyil service Com
missioner Trenholm appeared before the ways
and means committee to-day to express his views
upon the sections of the Morrison tariff bill
touching rice. He said that the duty on rice i'm
ported into the Pacific States was paid by the
Chinese laborers, who were the consumers, and
was almost the only tax paid by the Chinese
plantations in this country resulting from disuse
during the war, and said that if the production
should be checked at this time it would be diff
cult or almost impossible to re-establish the
sources of supply within long period of years.
Representative Dibble, of South Carolina, said
the labor employed in rice culture formed an i'm
portant part of the country's laborng population
and was entitled to consideration at the hands Of
the committee.
Representative Gay, of Louisiana, spoke of
the excessive cost of harvest labor on rice plan
tations in his State as compared with cheap
East India labor
S. S. Wilkinson, a Louisiana planter and
miller, denied that Louisiana dealers mixed for
eign broken rice with the home product. He
declared that there was an opportunity for fraud;
two-thirds Of the Louisiana crop this year was
very little better.

tive, he said, of firm that consumes one-ffth
of the zinc and speiter product of this country,

COMMISSIONER BLACK.

The Sort of Testimony He Is W5riking Up
Against Ex-Commissioner Dudley.
special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March g. Commissioner of
Pensions Black is preparing for the investiga-
tions by congressional committees into the pres
emit and past management of his Office. He has
begun to reward the persons who SO wretchedly
prevaricated about the late Commissioner Dud-
ley in the Springer investigation, in the last
Congress 1t will be remembered that q number
of old employees of the Office attempted to trump
up evidence against Colonel Dudley in that in
vestigation, and that it was then charged that
they had a purpose in doing it. 1t transpires
that they were promised retention in their posi-
tons. and promotion at first opportunity. Two
of them have just been put up class higher
given promotion that marks the preferment
plainly as reward for their work against the
old manager.
1t is reported that number of these miserable
wretches have been found in the Office, and that
lot of very queer testimony is to be given be-
fore the House investigation, which is to be con-
Quoted especially for the benefit of the Commits
sioner, and to counterfeit that about to be be
conducted in the Senate. Men who have been
employed in the Office for several years, and
who will invent testimony against Colonel Dud-
ley ara to be given promotion, 1t is said. The
country will, therefore, receive with very large
grain or allowance anything these persons may
say. such sycophancy and fawning and bargain
and sale IL disgusting, if reports are true.

What MIR. Blanchard Said.

To the Western Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 8-Mr. Blanchard, of
Louisiana rising to q question of personal
privilege, brought to the Clerks desk and
had read an article from the Indianap-
oils Journal with reference to the nomination of
Major Lewis Merrill for promotion, and its sub
sequent withdrawal by the President. The ar
ticle charges that Mr.. Blanchard was arrested in
1874, in Louisiana, by order of Major Merrill for
connection with Ku-klux outrages, and shat, ami
mated by revenge, he had rushed to the Secre-
drawal of Major Merrilis nomination.
Mr.. Blanchard said that the article was a
beautifully constructed, carefully arranged and
ingeniousy contrived bloody shirt and Ku-klux
outrage story; but the inexorable logic of cold
facts impelled him to it's destruction. There
was not one word of truth in it from beginning
to end. He had never been arrested by Major
Merrlls orders, and he had had nothing what
ever to do with the withdrawal of Merrls nom.
ination. He had never, at any time. approached
the Secretary of War or the President on the
subject. He had not even known that the nom
inaticn had been sent to the Senate until he had
SEEM in the press, the news of its withdrawal.
He had no doubt that the President had good
and sufficient reasons for the withdrawal, but he
[Mr. Blanchard had had nothing to do with it.
While he believed that the conduct of Major
Merrill in Louisiana in 1874 was subject to CEN
sure he Mr.. Blanchardl was not amenable to
the charge of trying to prevent his promotion in
the army.

MINOR MATTERS.

Belief that the Universal Pension Scheme
Has Received Fatal Blow.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 8.-Adyocates of uni
versal pension fear that the debate in the House
during the past ten days has been so sectional
and bitter that all of the friends the measure
had in the South and among Northern Demo
Gratis have fed. The expressions of the Repub.
licans have been very denunciative, and inclined
to drive out of the ranks all the liberal men
South on pension matters Then the talk has
brought out and crystallized all the dormant oppo
stion and feeling there was in existence on either
side. Before this controversy there were many
men in the North who looked with dsfavor upon
q universal pension, but who didn't care to come
out and show that opposition. This debate has
given them courage, and has drawn the line
Hereafter there will probably be less squeamish-
ness, less buncome and more honest sentiment
shown in pension matters. For this reason the
debate has in a measure been fortunate.

EMPEROR WILLIAM.
"A Busy Man, Whose Work Is Performed in a
Methodical Manner.

Berlin Letter.
Emperor William, who, before another month
is over, will be eighty years old, is still
very busy man, aud has his days work cut out
for him as regularly as any state official For
several years he has now pursued the same rou-
tine. He rises, even in winter, every morning
at 7;30, and dresses at once for the day, disdain
ing to use either dressing-gown or slippers.
While taking his breakfast, which consists of
coffee. toast and special kind Of Carlsbad bis.
cults, his medical advisers, Drs. Won Lauer and
Lenthold, have a short audience of about two
minutes duration, if there is no special reason
for prolonging the interview. After breakfast
and often during the meal, the EN- peror reads
his letters, which he opens himself, and his
newspapers-that is to say, the cuttings from
different journals which have been specially Sc
lected and stuck on large sheets of paper. At 8
he receives his first visitors. Certain days of the
week particular officials appear regularly before
the Emperor; at IL military authorities
are received, and from l to shortly after casual
visitors are admitted. If the weather is favor
able the Emperor drives for about an hour every
afternoon, accomp panied by an adiutant, return
ing about o'clock. when the Under Secretary of
State, Count Herbert Bismarck. generally has an
audience. The dinner hour is from to s. the
Emperor and Empress usually dining together.
After dinner the Emperor returns to his desk
and settles down to work, hut the burden of four
score years and more makes itself often felt at
that time, and work terminates before long in a
peaceful nod. But his Majesty will not hear Of
any regular after-dinner snooze. At o'clock
one of the medical gentlemen appears once more
to see that the august patient is still WELL The
third of the court physicians. Dr. Timann is
only consulted III surgical matters. The next
hour is devoted to pleasant, friendly chats and

where he spends about an hour and half, to
return home to little tea party en- famille
which is the conclusion of the days work. Elk
ceptions or Interruptions in this routine occur
only on occasions of grand court festivities or
during the stay of some distinguished visitor.
