Special tc the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. ia gentleman in this
city, who is somewhat familiar with Indiana
politics, promises some interesting revelations
touching the manner in which congressional
nominations have been secured in that State this
summer. This gentleman says positively that
he has enough evidence in his possession to war
rant him in promising that there will be lively
times around Holman's district when it 10 known
just how the great reformer downed his oppo-
nent. 1t is a very well-known fact that several
delegations were elected on direct pledge not to
vote for Holman, and yet that gentleman was
able to secure these very men, and it was due to
the support of one or two of those who had first
inclined to be his btterest opponents that he was
renominated at all Your correspondents in
formant promises the details, with proof, within
the coming week.

Indications that the Scramble for Office Is
Splitting the Southern Democracy.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1l.-Just as predicted
year ago, there is every indication that the con-
troll of the patronage is breaking up the Demo
cratic party in the South. But few conventions
have been held thus far where contests have not
been very bitter. Members who have hereto
fore been able to secure nomination year after
year without the slightest difficulty finding
out that the ownership of the patronage has seri-
ously affected their interests, and that fourth
class postoffice given to the wrong man will fire.
Quently create more open animosities than all
the mistakes that may be made on the floor of
ern States who have heretofore had things
all their own way, and have had little or no
difficulty In coming to Congress as often as they
desired have already been defeated for renomi-
nation, and tho indications are that the Southern
delegation in the Fiftieth Congress will contain
many new faces, even though Republicans are
not much thicker than they are now although
there is reason to believe that several of the
Southern States will be represented by one or
more Republican Congressman. The State of
Mississippi for instance, is preparing for very
vigorous campaign. Louisiana WILL in all prob
ability, regain something of her losses. and Vir-
ginia win certainly send at least three Republi-
cans, and possibly four

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE following letter

Resolved, That the Attorney-general be. and is

out of the matter of the suspension of j. b. Hill,

that the President authorizes me to state that
such suspension was made for the sole reason
that Mr.. Hill left his home in Raleigh, In 1884,
while he was marshal of the United States, and
went TO the Republican convention of the First
congressional district, in which he had lived
before his removal to Raleigh, but from which
he had removed many years since. and by an

OF the report on social statistics of cities, by
Col George E. Waring. ir., the sanitary expert.
which is now going through the press and will

ment, the gas supply, interments, manufactures,

tutions, police places Of amusement. streets,

The Democrats began to gather at Tomlinson

occasion of discomfort. Many delegates took off

China Invading Us Through Mexico.

WASHINGTON, Aug 11-Acting Secretary Fair
child has received report from special agent
Jerome, at Tucson, A. T., to the effect that
large numbers of Cinnamon are continually en-
tering the United States over the Mexican bor-
der, in violation of the law. Custom inspectors
turn them backwards. and do do all they can to
enforce the law, but he says with little success.
This is mainly due to the fact that the force is
too small to watch each Chinaman who may try
20 enter the country. The matter was referred
to judge McCue, Solicitor of the Treasury. for
or opinion whether the law affords any remedy
in such cases. In his opinion Judge McCue
quotes from the law bearing on the question and
says. that he can see no more effectual way of
preventing the smuggling of Cinnamon than
through the special vigilance of the custom
