Special to indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, April 5-After two days of fill
clustering the direct-tax bill, the House, late
this afternoon, took recess until HAS o'clock
tomorrow morning. IL is generally believed
that at least two days moro will be frittered
away in this work, the House remaining in con-
tinuous session. There is determination upon
both sides. and great earnestness is evinced in
every move made. Opposition to the bill IL
confined almost exclusively Co ex-confederates,
and their votes aggregate from forty to forty
five upon the tests which have been taken. Thx
flibusters make attempt to conceal thsix
work; they openly declare that they will filibus-
ter till hot weather if they do not succeed in do
feating the bill before that time. They demand
that an amendment be made to the
bill to return to the Southern States
the cotton tax, which amounts to about
$6s0OO.oO0. while the amount os direct tax
which will 60 to Northern States which re-
sponded to the governments demand amounts
to only $50, 100000. OF this sum, Indiana viii

prepared to maintain their positions for weeks

General Herbert, of Alabama, who is chair
man of the committee naval affairs, and who
has long confederate war record, explained the
basis of the opposition to the direct tax bill this
afternoon, when he said to the Journal corre-
spondent: ''We intend to iibuster against this
bill as long as we have physical endurance to
hold out. If we cannot defeat it on direct
vote or get amendment which will give us

and takes money out of Southerners' pockets and
puts it into Northern States 1t is blow at

STORM IN THE NORTHWEST.
Property Seriously Damaged By Wind and
Hail-An Unknown Man Fatally Injured.

FARIBAULT, Mimi, April 5.--At $50 yester-
day afternoon this city was visited by the most
terriable wind and hail storm it has ever expe-
rienced. Roofs were torn off from stone build
ings. signs were blown hither and thither like
straws, and dry goods boxes and empty boxes
were sent flying up Main street like paper balls.
There was nothing cyclonic in the storm; it
mainly wind and hail Coming from the south
east ct the rate of sixty miles al hour it struck
the center of the city at 1882 and continued
with great violence for fifteen minutes, The
first roof to go was that of Mrs. Hendricks's
stone building, Main street, which was
blown off to the rear Others quickly followed,
among them being that of Voltz Brothers stone
building. the three-story Union Block and the
east portion of the roof of the church of the
Immaculate Conception-Roman Catholic. The
roof also blown off the depot A scuttle
from one of the buildings struck gentleman,
name unknown, on the head, infcting serious,
perhaps fatal injuries This 10 the only casualty
SO far is known. The plate-glass front in the
Union Block and In 4. j. Liebs shoe store were
blown out into the street. The new High
school and the new rattan works buildings were
also injured, but to what extent could not be
learned. Many telegraph and telephone poles
were broken of, swapping like reeds under the
fury OF the gale. 1t is estimated that the total
loss will be 500, 600. and possibly more.

What the Commissioner of Agriculture Says
of Crops In Indiana.
Special to tho INDIANAPOLIS journal
WAsHINsToN. April 5.-The Commissioner Of
Agriculture, in his crop and grain report for
March, just issued, has this to say OF Indiana:
.'Thsrs will be a surplus of the corn crop to
find market outside the State. Yet the amount
will be greatly reduced, after deducting from iE
the large amounts that have already been
brought from other States and tho Quantities
that will be required to carry those over that
will be compelled 30 buy until the next crop is
matured.
The distribution is very irregular over the
State. There will be surplus equal to IL per
cent. after supplying sll the demands OF this
State. The quality of the crop is heightened by
the fact that small and inferior ears when shelled
show solid and fair appearing grains Tho
prices obtained are usually higher than those
paid in the general markets; this is owing to
the strong local demands, and disposition on
the part of those having to sell TO hold, ex.
pecting higher prices later on Very little Of

At this date is somewhat larger than that held
at this date one year ago; the unfavorable con-
ditions existing at seeding time and the slow
progress of the crop up TO the commencement Of

tions. The quality of the crop OF 1SS7was higher

cessor to the late Chief. justice Waite at an
early date. No specified time is given but the
presumption is that the appointment will be-
made within the next fortnight. The Herald's
informant, whose position enables him to speak
by the card, SAYS there in little probability that
any of the gentlemen whose names have figured
in the public prints as candidates will be selects
ed. This il Ia explained, refers to the mem bers
of the Cabinet as we'll as to others not con.
nected with the administration. Judge Thur
mans name was the first that suggested itself
to the President, and tender of the place
would have been made to him before this but
for his advanced age. It is not the Presidents
intention to advance any of the sitting m mem-
hers of the bench to the post of Chiefjustice.
Judge Field is regarded too far adv vanced in
years for the position, and Judge Millers con-
nection with the electoral commission, IL no
stronger objection could be used, is sufficient to
prevent the consideration of his name. The
gentleman. therefore. whom tie President will
select will be the direct successor of Mr.. Waite.
The chances are altogether, unfavorable for
Southern man. The President is well aware
that Republican Senate will refuse to confirm
ex-confederate. and the South can present no
available candidate who was not in some way
associated with the rebellion. 1t is very prob
able the nominee will come from one of the
Eastern States-possibly New York-and that
the selection will 90 made quite much with N
view TO its political effect to the fitness of the
candidate. With respect to this latter consdera-
tion, however. the Heraids informant signih-
cantly remarks that the Presidents choice will
be man eminently qualified for the place, and
one, too, whose aDpoin tment will give such gen.
eral satisfaction that the Republicans in the
Senate cannot afford TO delay action upon it.
