ArToENEY-GENERAL GARLAND.

He Intimates that He Will Do Something,
but Does Not Contemplate Resignin:.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 16-Attorney general Gar
land to-day said to the agent of the Associated
Press that he had nothing new to say concerning
the manner in which he became interested in the
Pan.eectric Telephone Company the circum-
stances under which the suit at Memphis against
the Bell Company was instituted by direction Of
the Solcitor-general last autumn, for he add
ed, my published statement to the President,
last October, said everything know about these
matters, and my attitude in regard TO them has
not changed in the least since then. Besides
this it now appears that an investigation cover
ing the whole question is to be had by the House
of Representatives, and am glad of it, and
all there is of it will be revealed and
made public. In advance of these
investigations, which heartily welcome, l feel
dsinclined to co into the subject in detail but
will say this however: 1t is asserted by some
persons that as I am member of rival com.
pany to the Bell company, and the government is
now prosecuting suit against the Bell tele-
phone, that this suit may result to my benefit or
advantage and that, too, while am at the head
of the Department of Justice, through the So
lictor- general of which the suit is to be carried
on, and that, therefore, something should be
done by me to relieve myself and the admins
tration from the apparent delicate situation In
dicated have considered this subject in all it's
bearings, as far as l am able. and recognize tho
fact that there is much in it worthy of thought

in view Alone of this state Of the case.

in way that will, / think. receive the approval
of all who really desire to be satisfied. This

WHITE HOUSE FESTIVITIES.

Series of Successful Entertainments, and
an Absence of 'Jeffersonian Simplicity"
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Within about six
weeks the festivities Of the White House will
close for the season. So far they have been an
uninterrupted charm. The dinners given by Mr..
Cleveland have never been surpassed by any OF
his predecessors. The old employees about the
executive mansion say effort has been made to
excel the entertainments furnished by Mr.. Ar
thur. and that these efforts have been successful
so far as the preparations were concerned
There has been hitch however. in the execu-
tion of the programmes made. Mr.. Arthur was
the very essence of grace. He had been fre-
quenter Of the leading clubs and aristocratic
gatherings of the country for many years, and
to preside at dinner or reception was first
nature, and to do it with princely grace was
proverbial
About him Mr.. Cleveland has not been for
tunate in having so many graceful and expert
enced ladies and gentlemen as Mr. Arthursbut
for congeniality the former has been very for
tunate Whatever has been IN the way of fall
ing short of the splendor of the old mansions
festivities has only been due to inexperience.
The same routine has been followed by this ad-
ministration in the matter Of entertainments
that was maintained by the others.
Nothing is said here about the boasted "Jeffer-
sonian simplicity" which was announced and
talked of so much year ago. No one thinks Of
it. Indeed the other extreme is observed. The
society columns of the local press TEEN with
gorgeous descriptions, daily, of the soci-sy af
fairs at the White House. until, for the first time
in many years. they have become a feature.
There dozen writer's who make livelihood,
or could if they did nothing else. out of their
''write-ups" of the dinners and receptions at the
White House. Sometimes the descriptions of
the table decorations at one of the dinners oc-
cupy nearly column in the press. It is said
that the inhabitants of the White House are
very proud of the grandeur, too, thus described.
Another reform has been trampled under
foot at the White House. There is no early to
bed. early to rse,r etc, business there. People
there don't get out with old Sol any more. They
feel that their reputation is established and that
8 o'clock is early enough now.

Curious Facts rs to the Ancestry of the Great
Irish Leader.

Curious Facts rs to the Ancestry of the Great
Irish Leader.
London Letter.
The favorite soubriquet for Mr.. Parnell now
is ''the modern Warwick" He is the Warwick
of Parliament the maker and unmaker of Min
istries. as Richard Nevill, the great Earl of
Warwick" was the maker and unmaker of
kings. There is something more than passing
curious. something in the nature of historical
significance, in the fact that in the veins of the
Warwick of modern England, whose name is on
every tongue to-day, actually flows the blood of
the renowned earl of the Middle Ages. To those
acquainted with Mr.. Parnell's ancestry this fact
has been always familiar; but the general pub
lie, until now, has not been apprised of it. A
genealogical table that has been published to-
day shows how Mr.. Parnell is a lineal descend
ant of the king maker Two of the ancestors Of
the great Irish leader-Lady Margaret Planta
genet, Countess Of Salisbury, and Henry Pole
Lord Montacute-were beheaded in their day
for high treason Every Irishman, and, for
that matter, every genuine American, will say
to this fact. ''Absit omen!" as they watch the
mighty and perilous career upon which the
Irish American descendant of these iil-fated for
bears is about to enter.
This published table carries Mr.. Parnelrs ped
igree back as far only as the great Earl of War
wick. But through his ancestor, Richard Plan
tagenet Duke of Clarence, Mr.. Parnell draws
blood directly from the royal stock of England.
In fact Mr.. Parnell has as much of the English
blood royal in his veins as Queen Victoria, and,
having regard to the German and Hanoverian
adnixtures with which the reigning Queen is
diluted, and polluted, his is much purer strain.

Republicans Will Not Oppose q Bill that
Promises Satisfactory Results.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb 16-'T have a curiosity to
see what course such picayunish characters as
Holman. of Indiana, and Beach. of New York,
will take when the bill comes in to reconstruct
the navy" observed an old Republican member
of the House. ''The reconstruction of the navy,
even on the meager plan proposed, doesn't con-
template an outlay of less than $40 600 600 or $50
00O, 600 and want to note the action of these
economical sticklers when they get under the
party LASH"
'Then you think the adoption of the bill the
committee on naval affairs will report is to be a
party measure"
ut will be far as it's origin is Democratic, is
concerned The bill will be suggested throughout
by the Secretary of the Navy, and will be the
report of the majority of the committee"
do you anticipate minority reportl'
mo The bill WILL think, be reasonable,
and the Republicans will generally support it.
You will remember, however. that the Demo
Gratis opposed such bill when Mr.. Chandler,
under President Arthur was Secretary of the
Navy. We are not so mean as to oppose sensi-
BILE beginning for new navy. OF course, the
first appropriation will not be large-probably
not $40. coo, ,000-but whenever the work is begun
it will be a great loss to stop short of the de-
signs"
''Will the Senate pass bill to begin the con
struction of new war ships, the rejuvenation of
the governments navy yards etc.r
Undoubtedly. The Senate is more favorable
than the House. Why9 Because the men over
there know more about the subject and the
needs of the navy than those in the House
You must bear in mind that there are very
many members of the House who are not we'll
up in anything pertaining to the equipment of O.
statesman. They are novices; and for that
reason they will likely object to any step in the
direction Of new navy. The old members,
those well versed in governmental affairs, will
be the ones, you will find, as general thing,
foremost in support of the proposition. No one
will try to gainsay that it is good sense for our
government to have few good ships and her
yards in a condition to build more in the event
we should need them. We ought not to be in
the position of having to throw up our hands on
the slightest provocation. We ought to have a
scalpins-knife in our belt. anyway"
