The President of the United New Jersey Rail-
road and Coal Company Takes His Life.

TRENTON N. j.. Jan. 6.-John G.. Stevens
died this evening from the effects of pistol
wound in the heart. 1t is generally believed
that he committed suicide, as he had
been in depressed spirits for some time,
owing to financial difficulties The rela-
tives version of the tragedy is that the de-
ceased was arranging a trip to western Vir-
ginia, to inspect coal and iron land; that he had
bought the revolver for self-protection, and was
examining the weapon, when it was accidentally
discharged. The shooting occurred in the Penn
sylvania railroad building in this city. Mr..
Stevens was president of the United New JERSEY
Railroad and Canal Company and had been
attending to official business all day.
This afternoon he was talking to Treasurer
Leroy H. Anderson, to whom he showed the pis-
tol, requesting Mr.. Anderson to procure some
oil with which to clean ii. Mr.. Anderson
stepped out of the Office to procure the oil when
the report of the pistol was heard Mr. Ander-
son rushed back and found Mr.. Stevens lying on
the floor with wound over the right temple.
from which blood oozed. Mr. Stevens never
spoke after the shooting. Mr.. Stevens was sixty
years of age. He leaves widow and five chill
dren. He was president Of the Pennsylvania
railroad system in New Jersey, and had been

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-''There is great deal
of disgust and disappointment expressed by the
principal officials of the Treasury Department, !"
said an old attache of that Office to-day, 'and it
all grows out of the silver question. The Pres
ident expressed his views upon the coinage early
in the year-before the Inauguration, in fact
and, naturally, the Secretary of the Treasury.
his assistants, the Director of the Mint, the
Comptroller of the Currency and the Treasurer
OF the United States are of the same way of
thinking. The indifference of Congress, as
body, to the wishes of the President and lis
trusted financial advisers has disgusted those
men with the legislative branch of the govern
ment and, naturally, some of them are already
very tired of their places"
"Do you know of one wild enough to resign2'
"Yes; Treasurer Jordan, understand, has told
some of his personal friends that he wants to get
out as things are not running to suit him. The
Treasurer has ideas of his own which he desired
to be Incorporated with the national fscaf sys-
tenn, but he has received no encouragement and
is disappointed"
Have you heard the reports which credit him
with desire to succeed Assistant Treasurer
Acton, at New York;"
'Yes, and I believe there is something in
them Mr. Jordan would undoubtedly make an
excellent sub treasurer, and hope he will get
the place."

Unnecessary Delay in Settling the Small
Claim of the Pottawatomies,
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Near the town OF
Athens. in Calhoun county, Michigan, is q vii.
lage of about 100 Pottawatomie indians, REM
nant of the great Nation which is rapidly pass
ing away. They occupy a reservation about
four miles square, and receive small annuity
from the government. Years ago a treaty was
made with them which the governmenthas never
carried out, and there is now due these Indians
considerable sum of money. They are very
poor, support themselves by farming and labor,
and need this money, which would be
sufficient to fix them up in pretty good
shape. -Four years ago proposition was made
by the government to settle these dues for
So, 300, and it was accepted by the Indians, but
no steps were ever taken to carry it out. Con.
gresham ODonueli, of the jackson, Mich, dis
trict, has been interesting himself ia behalf Of
these Indians. and has succeeded in persuading
Indian Commissioner Atkins to take up the mat
ter, so that ina few days some decision will
probably be reached.
There is another fragment of this tribe, com.
prising twenty or thirty families, across the In
diana line, in st. Joseph and Wabash counties,
and they have similar claim, which will proba-
bly, be considered in connection with the other.

WASHINGTON. Jan. Cone would think it

and he is about twenty-five years of age. At al
most regular intervals the young diplomatic goes
on an extensive spree and visits all the public

seems to be his chief aim on these occasions to
indulge in a fight and to attract as much atten-
tion to himself as possible He usually

ago this man, whom the government OF Chill
seems so anxious and prone to retain as a Sec
retary in its American legation, went on big
drunk, and among other places he went to the
National Theater in company with the proprie-

dissuade Del Campo, who was very drunk from
entering the theater, but without avail for he
insisted on going in, and made so much noise in
the lobby of the theater that an officer proceeded
to arrest him. The hotel keeper interfered with
the arrest. and was therefore taken in charge by
the officer also. At the station house, when
asked his name by the station keeper, Del
Campo shouted with torrent of oaths:

THE BALKAN TROUBLES.
Seeking q Reconciliation Between Prince

Seeking q Reconciliation Between Prince
Alexander ana the Gear.
Vienna Letter.
Prince Alexander is willing to perform some
act of submission towards the Gear, but lays
down as an absolute condition that he shall be
restored to his former rank in the Russian army
He maintains that the reports from M Koiander
which caused his dismissal from the Russian
army and notably the allegation that he had
used offensive words about the Russian officers
who had been in his service, are now known at
ST. Petersburg to have been either willfuly un-
true or absurdly incorrect. III. Koiander is not
to be sent back to Sophia and though the fact of
his being appointed to Athens shows that the
Russian government takes lenient view of his
erroneous reports, yet the Prince argues that, as
there is an implied admission of NJ. Koiander's
errors in his recall from Sophia the Russian
government is bound in fairness to order rein
vestigation into the charges which caused him
the Prince) to be unjustly punished. Solicita
tions have been addressed to the Prince. both
from Vienna and Berlin, to make first step to-
wards the Gar, but his Highness remains firm
in the position that the first step, being an act
of reparation, must come from the Gear.
On his side the Czar continues to feel deeply
offended from the belief that when the Prince
saw NJ. de Giers at Franzensbad he was already
aware that there would shortly be revolution at
Philipopolis and that he, in fact, deceived NJ.
u6 OiSrS riHCc hitAduutr, III i0tlefS TO the
Czar and the Emperor of Austria, has denied
this, and the Emperor Of Austria has taken his
word. Tho Gar has. however, up to the pres
enr, refused to do So 1t has been stated in some
quarters that the Empress Of Russia has been
interceding In Prince Alexanders behalf, but
this, unfortunately, is not the case. While there
was a chance that Prince Alexander might be
overthrown or deposed, her Majesty was much
interested in the prospects Of her brother Prince
Waidemar, succeeding to the Bulgarian throne,
and her influence was certainly never exerted in
political reasons modus vivendi will be shortly
established between the Russian and Bulgarian
governments, and that the Princes commission
will be restored to him, as having been cancelled
under mistaken impression but anything like
reconciliation between the Car and the Bull
garian Prince is as yet very far from being ac-
complished.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.
None of the Proposed Amendments Will Be
Favorably Reported.

None of the Proposed Amendments Will Be
Favorably Reported.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-There is not the slight
est prospect that the House judiciary committee
will make favorable report upon any of the nu-
nero resolutions providing for an amendment
to the Constitution The committee on the ju-
dietary is, as usual, composed of old lawyers, who
are opposed to innovations. They do not believe
in foolng with existing laws to any great extent,
and, in consequence, may be trusted to put an
efectual veto upon all propositions looking to
change in the presidential term, the extension of
the suffrage to women, the prohibition
of the manufacture and sale of alco
holic beverages, and the hundred
or more similar propositions which various mem
bers are anxious to see adopted. When the rules
were under discussion, two weeks ago, Repre-
sentative Bayne. of Pennsylvania, attempted to
secure the appointment of an additional COM
mittee to consider proposed amendments to the
Constitution. The venerable chairman of the
committee and his colleagues stood aghast and
were Mortified at the suggestion, and the amend
ment was rejected. 1t is no use: these old heads
cannot absorb new ideas, and the Congress will
not be elected for years that will be willing
to submit a constitutional amendment to the
people.
