A BULL RUN PANORAMA.

A Series of Paintings Clarifying the Lost
Cause-Action of the G. A. r.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb 11-For several months
panorama company have been constructing a
building and putting up an exhibition here. 1t
is proposed to display the battle of Bull Run on
an immense canvas, after the style of 'The Bat
tie of Gettysburg" at Chicago, and 'The Siege of
Paris" at New Orleans, etc. A few days ago in
formation was received by a post of the Grand
Army here that the exhibition will be purely
confederate in its teachings that it would show
the confederate side of this bloody contest and
ignore the struggles of the men who fought to
preserve the Union. This information
was received with large grain
of allowance. and the old veterans
did not believe that such effrontery could be
practiced at the capital of the Nation which is
frequented by every people on the globe; but
committee was appointed to ascertain the truth
of the report The building. a large brick struct-
ure located near the Agricultural Department.
and new and handsome, is finished, but the
interior is not quite completed member of
the committee managed to get inside to-day,
when the truth of the statement became appar-
ent There was the painting and the deceptive
surrounding, the whole picture of the sanguin-
ary engagement, with Longstreet and Stonewall
jackson and their army of grey-c under the
stars and bars, driving the federas back peil-
NELL; a victory in every lineament of the 'lost
cause" The paintings of the confederate Off
GERS are described as being very fine. Tonight
the Grand Army posts of this district adopted
the following:
Whereas. In the city of Washington is being
erected for the purpose of exhibiting panorama of
the scene of the battle of Bull Run; and
Whereas, The said battle was an unexplained VIC
tory for the rebel arms and humilatng defeat for
the Union army therefore,
Resolved That tits the sense of this Post that the
soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic should
discourage the patronage of said exhibition because
it is designed TO crafty the spirit of treason and per-
petuate in the memory of the people the triumphs of
rebellion and one of the most humiliang defeats suf
fered by the Union army during the late war.

Ground for Thinking the State May BE Ad-
mitted During the Present Session.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb 1l.-Some opponents of
the present State movement of southern Dakota
are telegraphing here that the friends of that
movement who were in Washington recently,
urging the admission of South Dakota to state
hood, have gone home discouraged, and are now
in favor Of admitting the entire Territory as one
State
Your correspondent is in position to know that
this is wholly false. and the friends of the pro-
posed State should so understand it. The state
hood movement and the division of the Terri
tory, as provided by the Harrison bill, have
gained in favor with Congress ever since the del
egation came here, and the latter are much en-
couraged by the outlook Some of them have
been compelled to 60 home for brief season on
business matters, but they have not abandoned
or even relaxed their fight, and will return in
few days to resume their work, and will continue
it till success is obtained.
A report will shortly be made upon the Harri-
son bill by the committee on Territories of the
House, and then the contests tawill continue. It
has become apparent that the Democrats cannot
afford to make party issue of the matter, and
since number of Democratic members have
said they will support it. there is good ground
for believing Dakota may be divided and the
southern half admitted to statehoodsat this ses-

Causes and Effects OF the Riot.


The riot is over and the panic has collapsed,
but, thanks to the obvious weakness in the ad-
ministration in the Home Office, the cost of the
last three days event to commercial security and
personal safety is incalcuable. Trade, already
so depressed as to have become one of the most
prominent subjects of government inquiry with
a view to it's betterment, has received blow
from the effects of which it must suffer for long
time to come; but the hardships thus inflicted
directly upon the tradesmen, and incidentally
upon the people, is insignificant when compared
to the moral damage. The dangerous elements,
encouraged by the harangues Of demagogues
and the opportunities afforded them for violence
and pillage cannot be relegated to obscurity in
day, and the utmost vigilance and frmness Oh
the part of the police must necessarily be exer-
csed for many months to prevent a recurrence of
the scenes which have Just been enacted in the
pretended interest of starving mechanics" AS
yet no attempt has been made to arrest the
Socialist leaders who are responsible for
the riot, and it is not believed that their
prosecution is seriously contemplated Indeed,
prominent judicial officers of the government
have expressed themselves as doubtful of the
success of legal prosecution, and it Is probable
that no steps will be taken to punish the ring
leaders. Hyndman has expressed his intention,
in the event of legal proceedings against him, to
subpoena Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Cancel
lor Of the Exchequer, who. he alleges, once as
serted that he would not believe in the existence
of general distress in London until the bakers
shops were pilaged by hungry mob. 1t has
been officially ascertained that there are so, 900
able bodied laborers and mechanics out of EN-
ployment in London, the reason, of course, be-
ing that there is no work for them to do.
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain is considering the
matter of giving employment on public works
to as many of the unemployed who are compe-
tent and deserving as work can be found for,
and providing that he determine it to be
- ntalxy tfsxh
at once take the necessary measures to provide
for them in that way.

CHICAGO. Feb. 1.-THE secretary of the Ma
tional Butter, Cheese and Egg Association has
issued a circular to county, State and national
legislators, and the people generally, in regard
to the dairy interests of the country and the
harm likely to accrue to it from the man ufacture
of what the circular calls fraudulent limitations
Of butter" The circular gives detailed state
ment of the value of the dairy product of the
country according to the last United States CEN
sus. The figures include the value of butter and
cheese manufactured annually, value of milk
consumed in other ways, the value of milch
cows and the money invested in dairy apparatus
and machinery. To these figures is added o5 per
cent increase for the last six years, which is a
low estimate, and the total sum now devoted to
dairy purposes the circular puts at $50 535 634 "a
This vast industry is disturbed, embarrassed and
threatened with destruction. the circular says,
by "a stupendous fraud which EMPLOYS few
thousand men, with plant not exceeding $2.-
600. 600, and turning out about 60 000 900 pounds
OF product, worth in money value tsupposing it
to be wholesome food) not to exceed l2g cents
poGnd-$7 800 O00n The whole evil is declared
to lie in the fraudulent sale of this product,
which nobody wants to eat, and nobody calls
for" The circular closes with an appeal for
legislation to suppress limitations OF dairy prod
ucts that are not sold to the consumer under
their OWN proper names.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1L-For many years cham
payne has been regarded as barometer in many
business circles for determing commercial pros
perity or commercial depression in the different
countries. This is owing, undoubtedly, to the
very prominent place which this wine takes as
an expensive luxury in the social world, and
which is only INDUCED in to the maximum or
highest degree, when commercial or financial
affairs are at the highest flow of prosperity, and
receding to the minimum, or lowest degree.
when a country is afflicted with great COM
mercial and business depression and October
has usually been the month selected as giving
the truest tests in this regard, as it is the
month when nearly all countries order supplies
for the approaching social season of the winter
time.
Arguing from this line the American consul
at Rheims, France, concludes that the people of
this country are enjoying very prosperous era,
because the French expectations of champagnes
to the United States were exceedingly large last
fall-much in excess Of that of three or four
previous seasons During the month of October
last the single port of Rheims exported to this
country 20. lib cases (349. 356 quarts) of cham
pagne of the value of $343 $50, being more
than double the amount of the same month in
the previous year. There are scores of ports in
France where the output of wine is as large as
Rheims, so that it can be seen that we import
many millions of dollars worth of this article

The Revelations Will Not Cause Any vacan-
cies In the Cabinet.
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE talk about the
Pan-electric telephone combination within the
Cabinet will amount to nothing so far as it is
expected to make vacancy or two in any Office.
One thing is true, if the President is to be be-
leved, and he generally is, the accused members
of the Cabinet will remain in their places.
There will be no investigation of the matter,
either, unless it is by Senate committee,
whore Republicans will conduct it. The major
ty in the House have already refused to investi
gate the connection of the Attorney general and
others with the scandal
Some Republican Senators have expressed the
opinion that this was not opportune time to
agitate the matter because it would be inclined
to influence the impending suits by the govern
ment to test the validity of the Bell patents,
and that that should not be influenced in the
least When these suits are over, then it will
be time to make inquiry Besides, many be-
lieve that the Attorney general. Secretary La
mar. ETC., have not gone far enough to criminate
themselves, or far enough to make ground for
impeachment but that they will before the suits
are disposed of finally; that the mere fact that
they attempt to break down patents, by which
their own property is enhanced in value, or made
valuable, is sufficient to make conclusive case
against them

topic of discussion until next Thursday. It is a
foregone conclusion that the bill will pass, and In
view of this fact it is absurd that the entire time
OF the lower branch of Congress should be taken

are so many questions of vital public Importance

one Of the strongest speeches against the bill that

bristled with convincing proofs, from military
standpoint showing Porters unfriendly attitude

edge in military affairs, and showed his practical
training as soldier to good advantage.

War, in dealing with the ST Quentin strikers,
together with the encouragement the people
have received from the London uproar and its
results, have caused visible reaction in Paris.
The Orleans Princes have responded to the
threats TO expel them by subscribing literally to
the support of the priests who have been de-
prived Of their salaries, and the effect upon pop
ular opinion of this exhibition of generosity is
noticeably strong. It is significant, too, that
while the clergy is receiving little else than kicks
from the authorities, Archbishop Elder, of Cir
cinnati, was yesterday received by the people OF
Lourdes with great distinction.
