Miller Funeral Trip.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, March 18.-It has been many
years since trip like the one afforded by the
senatorial party to the Pacific slope with the re-
mains of Senator Miller has gone begging tits
learned that great difficulty was encountered in
inducing anyone to go, and that so far as con-
agrcssicnal representation is concerned, it is
almost failure. True, it is funeral train but
every comfort is afforded-a special train Of
sleeping cars a dining car, loaded with all the
weather, country, ETC.. are delightful, aud the
"trip to be made short long to suit the little
party, it will be withal pleasant Usually such
opportunities are scrambled for. But every

BUSY OFFICIALS.

Financial Ofacers Who Have No Time to
Consult with House Committees.
Special to the indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, March l8.-In all the history OF
this government Secretary of the Treasury has
never been too busy until now. to appear before
aeongressional committee, when important legis-
latien affecting the finances of the country was
pending and give information and advice as to
what should be DONE Neither Secretary Man
ming nor Treasurer Jordan can find time, ac-
scording to tEeir representations, to give to Con-
gress. A great deal of comment has been made
upon this announcement here Most of the
statesmen say it is remarkable, very remark
able, statement, and means one of two things
that the head of the Treasury Department.
does not want to define his policies as fully as he
would if he withstood inquiries from a congress
sional committee, or he has no policy and no in
formation, and fears to make an exposition of
his ignorance.
With all previous administrations the requests
from Congress for information as to what should
be done with pending legislation were considered
of the highest Importance, and were responded
to with the greatest alacrity. 1t has been deemed
all along an absolute impossibility for Congress
to act wisely without the cooperation OF the
Treasury Department in all financial legislation
But this administration refuses to cooperate.

I have Just been reading your report
in to-day's paper Of the proceedings Of
the "Business-Men's Meeting" and
there are one or two points upon which
would like little light;
/. In the third resolution OF the series
adopted by the meeting the recent
movement of the workingmen OF this
city is characterized as "a conspiracy
punishable by the law of the land y
and in reporting Judge Christian S
comments on the resolutions you say
Z" lie held that this boycotting was a
conspiracy punishable by the laws OF
the land, aud he read authorities TO
sustain himself" Now, Mr.. Editor,
will you please publish the law which,
it is claimed, has been violated, if not
too long? / am sure it will be inter-
esting reading to the large number oil
workingmen that are readers Of your
paper. and who, as Colonel Purcell
saws. are men who, when they see they
have violated law, take steps back.
2. Can you tell under what law the
officers of the Richmond Typographical
