His Flight from Washington-How He Has
Kept Himself in Office.
Special to the indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, June 15.-Nearly all Of the
New York. Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
ineton newspapers comment to-day upon Repre-
sentative Holman's fight from his post of duty
in the House, where he has charge of the most
important appropriation bill, to his district in
Indiana, where his fences are out of repair All
characterize his acti on as reprehensible in the
highest degree The New York Tribune has a
lengthy special dispatch from its Washington
correspondent. which deals with Holman in Sc
we're language In the course of its observations
the Tribune says:
He has been in Congress now. off and on, for
more than twenty years. Until two years ago
he never was obliged to enter into contest for
to think that they could not
have better Representative. Holman
cultivated this ignorance on the part
OF his constituents by requesting the State GEN.
trail committee never to send speakers into his
district; he always did the stumping that was to
be done himself. In this way ne managed to
keep himself prominently in front and other
politicians out of the district who might have
raised the standard by which his constituents
judged their representative. His appointments,
too were made in the shrewdest manner posi-
BILE. 1t was always his strikers and his rela-
tives of whom he took care, to the exclusion of
the better element in the district. 1t is only
within the last two or three years that there
has grown up an opposition to the
Great Objector,' which has now, how
ever, reached such proportions as to
ieopardize seriously Holman's chances of
denomination This opposition is lead by Judge
John r. Cravens, of Madison, manof ability,
the senior of Holman by few years. but the
representative of the young Democracy. He is
aided, it is said. by Senator Voorhees,. who is at
swordspoints with the great objector,' and
would like nothing better than to see Holman
reegated to private life. The idea, some how
or other, has taken possession of Holman's con-
stituents that he is not so much of reformer
after ALL and that he Isl on the contrary very
much Of demogogue."

The Ways and Means Committee Practically
Votes in Favor of Free Wool.
Special to the Indianapolis Jo Journai
WASHINGTON, June 10 To-day the last ray
of hope for Ohio farmers in the way of protec-
tion for their wool interests was obliterated by
o vote of the Democratic members of the House
committee on ways and means. About two
months ago Representatives Wilkins and GrosS
venor introduced two resolutions in the House,
one declaring that there should Ee no reduction
of the tariff on wool by this Congress. the other
asking that the tariff of 1867 be restored on WOOL
Both resolutions were, at the time, published in
full in Journal telegram. To-day, by strict
party vote, the committee directed Chairman
Morrison to make majority report against both
resolutions, and granted Mr. Mckinley of Ohio,
permission to submit minority report in favor
of the resolutions
Some surprise was expressed in Ohio circles
when 1t was learned that, at a meeting held
last night, at Representative Warmers house,
three of the eleven Democratic members
vote on Thursday to consider the tariff bill
These were Cultivate, Anderson and Hill
vote for consideration of tariff is a vote to, at
least, encourage the measure. It was presumed
tnat no ONO hepreSentatiVe having Ino true III
terests of his constituents at heart would lepd
encouragement to a bill which places wool on
the free list. 1t may be claimed by these men
who will vote to consider the bill that they are
opposed to its passage, and will not support a
free-wool measure, but here is where the fight
is waging against the bill. A vote for consider
ation just at this time, is considered equivalen.
to vote for passage of the bill. MI. Hill tried
to explain his position on the floor of the House
to-day, by saying he was opposed to the bill on
account of the freewool clause, but would vote
for consideration because he thought the ques-
tion of tariff revision should be debated; but
his explanation is not accepted as satisfactory.

Flowers, Decorations and Fine Clothes.
WASHINGTON June 15-The White House
never presented more brilliant spectacle than
to night on the occasion of the first official re-
ception given by President and Mrs. Cleveland.
The decorations were on the same grand scale as
at the Presidents wedding, with the excep-
ton that there were more tropical
plants and ferns and less flowers The
walls of the East room were hidden by
plants, and garlands of smilax and evergreens
were festooned from the chandeliers and cor
nices The mantles were banked with rare ex-
otics and the window recesses filled with palms.
The decorations of the other parlors were of
similar description. The scene when the recep-
ton was at its height with the rich toilets Of the
ladies and the splendor of the uniforms worn by
some of the officers present was grand.
The signal that the President and Mrs.
Cleveland were ready was given promptly on
time, and the Marine Band, which was stationed
in the main vestibuie. struck up the air Hail to
the Chief" the receiving party then descended

Matthew Arnold has been in the city for sew
eral days Speaking of the political situation,
yesterday, he said: 1T is very interesting and,
at the same time. very serious crisis in En-
glish history. What do think will be the out
come of the present STRUGGLED I believe that if
the Chamberlain, the Harrington and the Goshen
factions would unite and produce local
government bill for Ireland. which should
be free from the dangers and defects of
the Gladstone bill it would receive warm sup,
port Every body ought to have home rule. but
the idea of an Irish Parliament. as embodied in
Mr. Gladstones measure would be element
of great danger. 1t would be just like having
Southern Congress in this country, as well as
the present one. It would always be dangerous.
The Irish, like the Southerners here, have nat
ural taste for politics, and they would be anxious
to make themselves conspicuous In case there
was Russian or an Austrian complication, the
Irish Parliament would be able to be very dsa-
greeable. Americans in Europe are strongly
against Gladstone on this question. but over
here, strange to say. are all hot for his bill.'

A UNIQUE CRIME.
Two Yonng Girls Attempt the Murder of Their
DsSefactOrs, Money Being the Object,

WASHINGTON, June Is Details of an almost
unprecedented attempt at double murder by
two young girls, the oldest only eighteen and
the second hardly in her teens have been re-
ceived from Fredericksburg. The victims were
Mr. W. E. S. Waller, an old gentleman sixty-fve
years of age, and his sister, Miss Jane Waller
Mary and Jennie Green sisters, were the assail-
ants. A dispatch says that Mr. and Miss Waller
resided in stately old mansion on farm stu
ated about twenty-five miles from Fredericks.
burg, near the little village of New Market.
The extensiveness of the Waller estate made
the house somewhat remote from those of the
neighbors Here the couple had lived together
for years. managing their farm, and depending
solely for assistance about the house on the two
Green girls. They had been reared by the Wal
ler family, matter which, in the eyes of Mr..
Waller, was sufficient to guarantee their hon
esty. Last Friday Mr.. Waller received quite
sum of money, which he kept in his room, and
the girls were aware of this fact They waited
until about IL o'clock that night, when feeling
sure that Mr.. and Miss Waller were asleep
they quietly armed themselves with stout clubs
and descended to the old gentlemans apartment
AS they entered the room Mr. Waller awoke
and, seeing who it was, demanded angrily what
they wanted. Without waiting to reply, the
girls rushed at him. Though aged, Mr. Waller
was still quite active man, and, sprnging
from his bed, he seized the elder and would have
disarmed her had not the other hit him over the
head with her club and knocked him senseless to
the floor. Not content with this, they belabored
his senseless form with blows until, believing
that life extinct, they left him to search for
Miss Waller. Rushing into the old lady's room,
they dragged her screaming from her bed. and.
with one savage blow from club laid he sense
less; then they beat her about the head until the
blood gushed forth in streams and until all YES
tige of her features were literally beaten out of
recognition. Finally, satisfied that both
their victims were dead, the girls secured about
$3.50 in money and fled. Several hours later
colored boy, one of the tenants of the farm,
while passing the mansion, observed that the
door was open, and stopped to investigate On
entering the house he discovered the senseless
and bleeding forms Of Mr.. and Miss Waller on
the floor. and Immediately rushed to give the
alarm BY o'clock in the morning the whole
neighborhood was aroused, and hundreds of peo-
pie focked to the house to learn the particulars
of the affair, and to offer their assistance in cap
turing the assailants With the arrival of
physician Mr.. Waller was restored to conscious
ness, and though in very precarious condition,
was able to describe the occurrences of the
night Parties were instantly organized, and
the search for the two girls undertaken with
ardor. Miss Waller cannot recover The Wal

soldiers. fears there will be no more general PEN
sion legislation this session. He says the Demo
Gratis have done as much as they dared. and
much more than many Of them desired. Mr.
Grosvenor says there are some bills that should

Republican members are a unit on these bills

The Democratic leaders, however, appear to
have decided against any more measures of that
character, and the friends of the soldiers almost
