BUILDING A NAVY.

Republicans Will Not Throw Unnecessary
Obstacles In the Way of the Democrats
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, March 9-Many members of
the House predict that the bill just reported from
the committee naval affairs. to reconstruct the
navy, will meet with good deal of opposition
from Republican Senator'S, because it delegates
so much power and gives so much discretion to
the Secretary of the Navy, when the Democrats
objected to giving money into the hands of Mr..
Chandler when he was Secretary, even with the
strctest instructions rs to its disbursement, and
the sum he asked for was a mere bagatelle COM
pared with the sum this bill appropriates.
Your correspondent has made considerable in
quiry among Republican Senators about this
matter, and finds that there is not the least dis
position to retaliate, but, on the contrary. they
propose to show q spirit of enterprise and for
giveness, and will meet the Democrats more
than half way in the proposition, and will show
as much, ii not more, earnestness in building up
good navy, as the members Of the opposite
party. They will, of course, want proper safe
guards thrown around the disbursement of the
money appropriated, but will show liberal de-
gree of decency about it.

special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 9--"I dread the result
which may follow the granting of indemnity by
Congress to the Chinese who have suffered losses
by violence in my country of late" said a Pa
cifc-slope congressman to-day. II am afraid it
may precipitate a renewal of the riots and lead
to more serious bloodshed. The people out there
are very much opposed to reimbursng the
Chinese for their losses. 1t is to deprive the
Mongolians of their property, discourage and
thereby lead them to- leave, that this property is
destroyed

inquired.
"Icannotsay," replied the congressman. ''what
body of men who know nothing about the pes

opposed to violence in treating the Chinese as
any one but do not think Congress ought to
appropriate cent to pay their losses. Let them

labor riots9 Not much. And the Pacific slopers
will retalate if the Chinese are unidentified"

EDMUNDs AND THE PRESIDENT.

The Vermonter Cordially Greeted by the Pres
ident and Miss Cleveland.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 9-The sensation of the
Presid ent's reception to night was Senator Ed
munds's appearance, and the cordial greeting he
received from the President. Senator Edmunds
attracted unusual attention because he entered
at the wrong door to the Blue Room, and had to
pass the line of ladies. He, however, marched
directly up to the President, and after present
ing his wife, grasped Mr. Cleveland's hand. The
President returned the grip of the Senator in an
extr emely cordial manner, and did not seem in
the least taken aback. President Cleveland
stopped Mr.. Edmunds and talked with him for
moment or two just before Mr.. Edmunds
moved on, the President said something that
made them both laugh heartily When Mr.
Edmunds approached Miss Cleveland she shook
her finger jokingly at him, but grasped both his
and his wifes hands cordially The little episode
was noticed and commented on freely by the
quests

The Time and Care Given to Public Recep-
tions, Dinners and Teas.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 9-''Two public recep-
tior in week, when taken with ladies tea and
private dinner party is doing the society bust
ness pretty thoroughly for one week at the White
House," said Senator, this morning taking a
handsomely invitation from the Presi
dent out of his pocket why, I remember to
have heard few days ago, of five private and
public parties within seven days at the White
House, not long ago. That is driving the horse
pretty hard over Jeffersonian simplicity isn't
it2n
thought it was, especially after such loud
professions last spring.
"And you ought to know continued the SEN
ator the difference between the impression the
country has of the way the White House is con-
Quoted and the real truth of how it is run. They
are running to seed on the society business at
the Executive Mansion. Things are manipu-
lated to wonderful degree of perfection on pub
lie occasions there. Why, it must take the time
of two or three men to keep up the arrange
ments and issue the invitations for these recep
tions, dinners and teas. The ordinary house
keeper and society man or woman knows how
much trouble it is to entertain the public, and
one can reach some kind of approximation of the
time and trouble it requires to do it it is done
at the White House"

THE CoUNTRy,s INDUSTRIES.

They Are I'm a Hopeful Condition, but Tariff
Experiments Are Not Desired.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 9.-Tke hearings that
have been given to iron, steel. COAL glass and
other interests by the House committee on ways
and means in consideration of the Morrison
tariff bill, have demonstrated a very hopeful
condition of the different trades of the country.
This condition, however, as has been repeatedly
stated by those who have spoken will not admit
of any experimenting The country has just
emerged from a business stringency that has
left the manufacturing interests in a very weak
condition. AS was stated few days ago by a
steel manufacturer, the subject, after so long ar
illness, is in such emaciated condition that it
can scarcely stand alone, and any blow will again
PROSTATE it. If it is allowed to grow, and is
not molested, it will soon be in good condition.
Nearly all of the industries are reported in
operation, and prices advancing for raw ma
terial, labor and manufactured articles. There
has been such long suspension of work in
many Of the factories that the stocks have run
low, and it will take some time to glut the mar
kets; but the establishments will get up again,
and the propriators will have chance to retrieve
some of their losses before it will be necessary

SENATOR MILLER's DEATH.
Some Particulars Of the Fatal Illness of the
California Statesman.


Washington Special.
The death of General John F. Miller, Senator
from California, was a most painful shock to his
fellow senators and to many other people who
had taken an interest in his long struggle for
life It was but yesterday that General Miller
was feeling so much better that Mrs. Miller de-
clared hopefully to her friends that her husband
was sure to get WELL To-day the Senator's
daughter, not dreaming that the fatal issue was
so near at hand, was seen in the Senate res
taurant with friends, to whom she conveyed
happy assurances of her fathers recovery. With
in thirty minutes from the time Miss Miller ex-
pressed her buoyant hopefulness to those about
her the Senator was dead.
For many years General Miller had been suf
ferer, and had literally lived on his nerve. Capt.
VIM. j. Vance, of Ohio, who is clerk to the dead
Senator's committee on foreign relations. and
was one of his old war comrades says he never
knew a man to display more heroic courage and
fortitude in tho long struggle he made against
the fatal malady It is thoughS that lead poison
ing from mimic ball which General Miller car
ried in his head for many years. and which caus-
ed the loss of one of his eyes, had much 30 do
with bringing about the disordered state which
developed into Brght's disease. His physician
DR. Pope, told your correspondent in January
that General Millers trouble was Brght's disease,
and that the case was bad one. Since that how
ever, he had repeatedly assured the family and
Captain Vance that ii was not Brights disease.
This seemed to indicate uncertainty as to the
Senator'S disease, although now there is no
doubt of the cause Of death. The patients sys-
tenn had rallied from the state of cachexy. which
overdosing with quinine had caused, but the
stage had been reached when the kidneys, by
gradual consumption, could no longer perform
their function, and the patient passed into the
fatal, but grateful. delirium which precedes dis
solution in Brights disease.
Some weeks ago Senator Miller was much irri-
tated over a report brought to him by San
Francisco paper, of the unseemly contest that
had already begun among certain elements to
succeed him. He then declared, with the vigor-
GUS language he was accustomed to use when
aroused, that he would live TO spite them. He
seemed TO be specially wrought up over the rich
man Floods aspirations.

The Route of the Hennepin Canal.

WASHINGTON, March 9-The Secretary Of
War to-day transmitted to the House reports of
Chief of Engineers Newton and Major Hamburg,
of the engineers corps, in reference to surveys
for the Hennepin canal. Major Hamburg rec
ommends what is known as the Marais D'Osce
route He estimates the cost of the canal by
this route at S., 81, 1867. or about one million
dollars less than by the other route surveyed.
This estimate is exclusive of the cost of the
Dixon feeder" which is common to all the
cheaper. and affords better regulated supply OF
water than the other route surveyed. General
Newton adheres, however, TO his previous rec
ommendation of the Rock Island route, and says
it offers the greatest commercial advantages.
