DAVIS AND JACKSON.
Why the Minister to Mexico Declined to Take
Part in the Savannah Centennial.

New YORK, May u.-An Atlanta, Ca. special
to the Times says: "Almost simultaneously
with the return of Jefferson Davis to Beauvoir,
Gen. Henry r. jackson, United States Minister
to Mexico, returned to his home in Savannah.
General Jackson came from Mexico in April,
almost solely to be present at the centennial in
Savannah, held last week. He was to take a
leading part during the celebration: was to de-
liver the oration at the unveiling of the Green
monument. and was down for toasts at half a
dozen banquets. Four days before the centen-
nial opened, the Confederacys ex- President was
invited to visit Savannah AS soon as it was
known that he was coming, General Jackson
wrote regrettng that he could not fill the en-
gagements which he had made He assigned as
excuse the sickness of member of his fami-
ly at The country residence in the interior of the
State, and left Savannah before Davis got with
in hundred miles of the city During all the
festivities of last week. General jackson re-
mained away. To him the ovatlons of the ex-
President received were wormwood. The bad
blood between tie two dates back to the Mexi-
war, when Daviss command on one occasion
joined Jackson's. Both were young officers
then, and Jackson took his company and ar
rested some of Daviss men, In the civil war,
jackson importuned the President of the con-
federate forces for command, and was snubbed.
He has never forgiven Davis, and the feeling
was so bitter that he would not remain in the
city while the ex President was here"

THE GOLDFISH WAR.
The Canadian Press Think the American Cap
tain Committed an Illegal Act.

TORONTO, May 1.-THE Globe, in an editorial
article on the seizure of the American fishing
vessel, David j. Adams. says "There seems to
be no room for doubt that the master of this ves-
sci acted illegally, and that the seizure was
properly made The people of the United States
did not know what they were doing when they
abrogated the clauses in the Washington treaty
They find now that the fishermen cannot pursue
their business pro6tably unless they are per-
mitted to take or to purchase bait our shores
For the sake of Canada, for the sake Of the en-
pire, we hope that If the imperial government
interferes in this business, openly secretly, it
will be to help us to maintain our rights, and It
to thwart, hamper or restrain us in enforcing the
terms OF the treaty"
The Mail says: IAN American vessel has Just
been seized at Digby. N. S.. for trespassing, and
we presume that test case will be made. If.
as the London Times asserts, the English peo
pie have no interest in seeing that their Cana
dian fellow subjects are not robbed, be it so. A
thorough understanding of that fact If it be
fact, might, perhaps, set some of US thinking
very seriously about the dra backs of a colorial
existence, but it would not frighten us into sur
rendering our property to Americans. Our
plain duty to ourselves, if the Americans will
agree to no reasonable settlement, is to protect
ourselves as best we can. Thirty thousand Can
adams are dependent upon the fishing industry,
but even II our fisheries were not worth one poor
farthing, we should still be inclined to defend
them to the best of our ability, for, to tell the
truth, we have grown weary of being sacrificed"

THE NEXT HOUSE.
Democrats Seek to Create the Impression
That Their Majority Will Be Increased.

Democrats Seek to Create the Impression
That Their Majority Will BE Increased.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Democratic news.
papers of the country have been for some time
engaged in the laudable endeavor to make it ap-
pear that the present majority in the House will
be increased rather than diminished in the COM
ing elections. They have interviewed the DEM
ocratic members from the various States, and,
as the result, have figured out gain of some ten
or twelve seats in the House, besides four in the
Senate. Jnst how this is done is not shown, but
the merest assertion that "We shall win one or
more seats made by q Democratic congress-
man. is enough to set the party papers shouting
themselves hoarse with hilarity. In the mean
time the Republican congressional committee is
organizing for work, aud while not making
many boasts, there Is q quiet feeling
of confidence among the members which
means that the party is to- be
strengthened in every possible manner. There
is no doubt in the mind of any one who has given
the subject close attention, that the Republicans
will gain at least two seats Ia Michigan, and, in
all probability three in Iowa; yet the interviews
in the Democratic papers indicate that the DEM
ocratic members take directly opposite view Of
the situation. On the other hand, it must be
admitted that the leaders of the Republican
party in the House at present are not at all anx-
ious that the majority in the House In the Fif-
tieth Congress should be transferred. They are
quite willing that the Democratic party should
elect Speaker and organize that House, and
take to itself all the responsibility for legisla-
tion and all the blame for failure to accomplish
anything They are confident that this would
lead to a Republican victory in 1888, and they
are willing to take their chances from now until
then, with the Senate In their favor

PRIVATE PENSION BILLS.

Glass of Legislation Which Occupies
Great Deal of Valuable Time.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE failure Of the
President to carry out his intention with regard
to private pension bills, which was published last
week. has caused great deal of comment among
members of Congress. The Republicans were,
as rule. very Indifferent to the proposed course
of the President. They knew that If he vetoed
the batch, as he threatened to do 1t would cer-
tainly lead to a political upheaval among the
soldier element But this was not the most po-
tent reason. There is decided feeling of dis
satisfaction among members Of Congress over
this pension business, and if the President had
adopted policy which would have led to the
curtailment of the number Of private bills possi-
BILE to pass, it would have been
hailed as a blessing by great many
members who are now overrun with
applications of this class, which do not como
from the soldiers themselves, but from pension
agents who have failed to earn their fees
Scarcely week passes in the life of congress-
man from district that is populated to any ex-
tent by exsoldiers that from one to ten requests
to visit the pension Office in behalf of some
would be pensioner are not received. In the
event of failure to secure a reopening of % re-
1ected case he is asked to introduce bill for the
benefit of the pension agent and indirectly for
the would-be pensioner. The result is that half
of the congressman's time is taken up with PEN
sion business which never ought to be brought
to his attention.

BALTIMORE, May 1.-THE steamship Acadia,
of Baltimore, belonging to j. L. Bell s. Co..
tropical fruit importers, has been given up as
lost She sailed from Port Antonio, Jamaica, on
April 10, with cargo of bananas. and up to the
present has not been heard from. Ordinarily
she made the passage in eight days. and never
longer than eleven. A few days ago q vessel ar
rivins in Boston reported passing the house of a
steamer at sea, the description of which was
much like that of the Acadia. Shortly after the
Acadia sailed a cyclone prevailed in the vicinity
o the West Indies, and it is presumed she was
caught in it. The following are the names Of
those on board: Captain r. Bell, of Warsaw.

Conductor, Engineer and Fireman Terribl,
Mang1ed and Killed.

Conductor, Engineer and Fireman Terribly
Mangled and Killed.
PITTsBURG. May 11.-A freight wreck in the
mountains on the Pennsylvania railroad, last
night. demolished twenty five cars, killed three
men outright and obstructed the tracks so badly
that it will take twelve hours to clear them.
The accident was the result of the heavy storm
which swept along the Conemaugh valley last
night, uprooting trees and blowing down
fences and out-houses. Near Conemaugh, a
number of empty freight cars were standing on
a siding. The tornado picked them up and car.
ried them over to the main track. A heavy
west-bound freight train of twenty-five cars, GO
ing at the rate of thirty miles an hour, came
along about midnight and crashed into the OBJ
struction before the engineer had time to re-
verse his engine. The twenty-five cars were to-
tally demolished and the wreck strewn along the
tracks for distance of several hundred yards.
Conductor Thomas Conners. Engineer Thomas
Mowrey, and fireman Michael Myers were killed
almost instantly They were caught in the
wreck and terribly mangled. The balance of
the crew escaped with slight injuries The men
