PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.

A Few Words About the Tariff-The Senate
and the Appointments.
New YORK, Jan. 3-A World correspondent
had an interview with President Cleveland yes
terday. The President was asked how he re-
garaed sspa.a Beck's speech upon the tariff
He replied:
''My own personal idea about that is that the
only practicable way to pass bill would be to
have the proper committee charged with the
work take up the subject in business fashion,
and modify the present law in such way as to
help poor people who labor, and take away need
less protection from the few who have grown in
ordinately rich at the expense of the many"
Referring to the subject of the Senate and the
consideration by that body of his appointments,
the President said: II have made no hasty Sc
lection Of officers, but, on the contrary, have
given very much time and investigation to the
subject. appreciating that very much depends
on the personnel of the government. Possibly
may have erred in some instances, but am
sure they are few, and l have every evidence
that the country is satisfied with the new officials.

tised attractions was lecture by Colonel r. G..

large audience. A short time since the Secular

LONDON jan 2.-Mr Frederic Busy. COM
missioner sent by the Cable News to report upon
the condition of the sufferers along the west
coast of Ireland, is now in Dublin. A dispatch
received from him tonight says his inquiries
prove that the reports of the distress in Achill,
Innisbofin and the other famine stricken islands
have not been exaggerated in the slightest de-
gree. But with the exception of few philan-
thropists, the subject is treated wish indffer-
ence, owing to the familiarity of the Dublintes
with similar cases of distress. The Castle gov
ernment has for some time been aware of all the
facts, and its own officials have repeatedly urged
action to avert the wholesale starvation which is
imminent The government, however has
made no move in the direction of relief,
and has been contented with half f-hearted
and indirect inquiries. Mr.. Busy continues:
Il am authorized to state that the govern
ment does not intend at present to extend
any assistance to those poor people. Mr.. Brady,
government inspector of fisheries. informed
me that in September last he predicted that
starvation would befall the islanders by Christ
mas unless they were assisted. Many of the
fishermen, with their families, are now in the
most extreme destitution. Mr.. Brady strongly
opposes temporary relief, AS being demoralizing
to the recipients. He thinks the most certain
way to benefit the islanders is to employ them

What He Proposes for Pacifying Ireland
Parnen States What He Will Ask.
LONDON, Jan. 3-Lord Randolph Churchill
has submitted to the Cabinet proposition for
reform OF the administration of the government
in Ireland. The scheme is supported by the
Earl of Carnarvon, Lord-lieutenant of Ireland,
and by Baron Ashbourn. the Lord Chancellor.
The project involves the abolition of the vice.
royalty and the Castle executive, and the plac
ing of Ireland on the same footing as Scotland,
ha-ing a Secretary in the Cabinet. IT the Cabi-
net adopts the measure, it will be presented to
Parliament together with the scheme for local
government which has already been decided
upon.
In an interview, Mr. Parnell said:
II will not say that details Of our plans have
not been altered from time to time. Every
leader finds it necessary to make tactical changes
from day to day. and sometimes more than
once day. Such changes have made and am
prepared to make. But my main purpose is un-
changed, and nothing that has occurred during
or since the election has caused it to waver."
'"Then you will demand the full measure Of
home rule indicated in your former speeches."
"We shall demand and will be satisfied with
nothing less than the erection of an Irish Parlia
ment, fully empowered to legislate for all Of Ire
lands affairs and interests"

that turning the control of Irish land to the
National League would amount to socialistic

THE FIRE RECORD.

Incendiaries Attempt the Destruction of a
Town, ana Are Thwarted by q Boy.
PIrTsBURG, Jan. 3.-A desperate attempt to
bum the town Of Tarentum, Pa, was made at
an early hour this morning. The FIRE was first
discovered in Essler's iyery-stabls on Gaines
street. It soon spread to Rue & Joness grocery
store and DR.. Volzser's residence, and all were
destroyed. The villains had taken every pre-
.ssntion to make destruction sure. They had cut
Che ropes Of two of the alarm bells, and broken
the principal pumps in the village and carried off
the fire buckets. The cries of fire aroused lad
named William Dible, an employe of the planning
mill, upon which was large bell. He ran to
the mill, and, on finding the bell-rope cut,
climbed to the roof and sounded an alarm by
striking the bell with a hammer This awakened
the entire community who turned out en- masse
and soon extinguished the flames. The loss is
$1,000; partially covered by insurance. About
two weeks ago there was an attempt to burn the
village Six or seven large buildings were de-
strcyed, entailing loss of over $50, 900.

The Terms ON Which the Democrats Propose

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. "a compromise is to be
offered by Democrats in Congress on the Dakota
question. They have prepared a bill, which will
be introduced this week, proposing division of
the Territory on north and south line on the
10lst meridian. which runs Immediately east
of Bismarck, placing that city in the west
hall, which is to be known as Lincoln, and nam
ing Aberdeen as the capital of the east half,
which will retain the name of Dakota The line
leaves the Missouri river north Of the Fort Rice
military reservation. It is believed that this
compromise will be accepted by all parties be-
cause it throws the agricultural portions and
mineral sections into separate territories. and
while the eastern Territory will be Republican
the Western Territory will be Democratic, tho
Black Hills country being a Democratic strong
hold After the Territory is thus divided an
effort is to be made to admit both to statehood.

DEMOCRATIC TROUBLES.

A Pointer Indicating Some of the Difficult
ties in Store for the Bourbons.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3-The objection by Sec
retary Bayard to making Perry Belmont, of New
York, chairman of the House committee on for
eign affairs. and the very strenuous protest Of
the Secretary is an indication of the character
of the troubles which are almost sure to occur
in both branches of Congress within the ranks
of the majority. Secretary Bayard is quoted as
having used very severe language also, in refer
ring to Governor Curtin, who was the chairman
of the committee in the last Congress. Mr.. Cur
tin is Pennsylvania, and distinguished him
self during the late war in conducting the affairs
of his great State. He was q true Democrat,
but sympathizer with the Union, while Secre-
tary Bayard, in Delaware, was tanning the
flames of secession Mr. Bayard now says that
Mr.. Curtin cannot be trusted with such an inn
portant position as chairman of this committee,
and he therefore dismisses the old Governor
with Mr.. Belmont, who is the son Of
New York millionaire, and firm friend
of the administration. Thus are two powerful
Democratic allies sat upon by the confidential
Cabinet officer of President Cleveland Mr..
Curtin. it is said feels very keenly the cut given
him by the Secretary. who is quoted as further
saying that the Pennsylvania is so nearly a
Republican that he tells members of that party
all the secrets he is intrusted with It seems
that the Kelley and other diplomatic affairs were
not the only serious blunders made by Secretary
Bayard, but that he is now inserting wedges
which bid fair to burst open the structure of his
party. Surely he has assailed the character of
two men with as powerful political ramfcations
as himself, and this snub will not be forgotten,
either. when the interests of the administration
come before the House.
