MINOR MATTERS.
The ShinpIaster Currency Bill Likely To Be
Beaten in the Senate.

The ShinpIaster Currency Bill Likely To Be
Beaten in the Senate.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WHAsHINGToN, March 23.-There is a great
deal of protesting the part of members and
Senators who opposed to silver against the
''shinplaster" bill which passed the House the
other day, and which proposes the issuance of
$50, 000, 900 of fractional silver certificates
There is great deal of prejudice against this
class of money, but it seems that it comes
wholly from the men in Congress- and is based
nlsna prejudics against silver. There have been
thousands of petitions received from every part
of the country iudor sing the bill, and but very
few protests, but the opposition in the Senate is
expected TO develop such strength during the
next month as to likely lead to the defeat of the
bill there. 1t very readily received two-thirds
majority in the House. but there is q much
heavier silver element IN the lower than the
upper branch of Congress.

Grants First Acquaintance with Waite.
CLEVELAND, March 23.-The Leader aays
"Some years before the war General Grant was
stationed at Detroit. and was sometimes called
to Toledo. On one of these visits to the latter
city he strolled into the court and heard Mr.
Waite, then q young lawyer, arguing case. 1t
requires stretch of the imagination to see
the future general and President listening to the
young lawyer whom he would in a few years
honor with high positions The two men re-
sembled each other in many points. in intellect
as we'll as physique Both were men of few
words, disposed to clothe their thoughts in the
simplest language and to prefer facts and ar
guments to rhetoric. Young Captain Grant
was deeply impressed with the solid acquire
ments of the young lawyer and in 1871, when a
man of great ability was needed counsel for
the United States in the arbitration at Geneva,
involving the settlement of the Alabama claims
President G rant solicited Mr.. Waite to accept
that high position. In that capacity be won a
national reputation. He was the peer of all the
great men who gathered at Geneva in that his

MUCH ENCOURAGED
Arc the Friends and the Family of Mr..
Conklins-A Change In His Condition
for the Better.

Are the Friends and the Family Of Mr..
Conkling-A Change In His Condition
for tho Better.
NEW YORK, April 17.-Another change
in the condition of Mr.. Conkling was wit
messed yesterday, this time for the better.
The alarming symptoms of the night fore
had disappeared and the morning found
him quite strong, comparatively speaking,
owing to the amount of nourishment
which he has been taking. His pulse was
81, temperature SO, and respiration normal.
DR.. Sands dressed the wound.
Mr.. Conkling complained great deal of
the pain, which DR.. Barker pronounces as
good sign. 1t shows the sensativeness of
the patient, whose system must be improv-
ing 10 feel the pain so acutety. The wound
has begun to heal and DR.. Barker expressed
himself as being decidedly hopeful.
Fred Grant who paid the sick man visit
said: Everything in the house looks
brisht and smiling to-day. Mrs Conk-
ling looks as though she has lost great
weight OF trouble from her mind. She Is
infinitely relieved by the good news i'm
parted 10 hsr by the doctors. Mrs. Conk-
ling and Mrs. oakenfsn are looking remark
..hly well, considering the troubles which
they have passed. and am more than de-
lighted to witness sueh a st te of things"
Reports from Mr.. Conkling continue
favorable. Alderman Conkling and Mr..
Melville say he does not throw his hands
ahont so much or talk 80 ncoherently IS
before. The family were encouraged and
felt that Mr.. Conklings great constitution
al vigor might yet enable him to survive
the disease.
Or. Barker called on Mr.. Conkling about
nine o'clock. He said: Mr. Conkling is
greatly improved, and his chances for re-
covery are greatly increased: His pulse
and temperature are unchange. and the fact
that he no longer talks in his delirum is o
good sign" Alderman Conkling left the
house soon aftcrward. He said be thought
his uncle was better than at any time since
taken sick, and that he would recover. Mr..
Melville also said the chances seemed bet
ter than at any time before.
Mr.. Conk!!ng is half doing and does not
toss about or rave. He has taken consider
able milk during the day. The wound is
getting along nicely.
