Krona's Operations at Peru.

Specal to the Indianapolis journal.
PERU, Jan. 19-The Krona mystery, which
has been agitating the papers the past few days.
and which contain statements regarding his
swinding persons in this city, is about fol-
lows: Krona came here some time in 1883, and
represented himself as prominent 32o Mason
and Swedish count, and as such received be-
fitting treatment. He said he out of money
and certain sum necessary to enable him
to return home and secure his rights
was given him. After about three weeks stay
he left with $500 in his purse. Since then nothing
has been heard from him until his arrest From
pr ointment Swede in this city the facts are
cleaned that Krona's real name is Freidrichson,
and be is an adopted son of wealthy hotel man
in Stockholm. The superstition is that he wen +
to Sweden from here, thence returning to Mil
waukee where he married a woman named
Krone and finally landed in Lawrenceburg
The murder and million-dollar robbery is thought
to be a myth. as nothing of this was cleaned in
correspondence with persons at Stockholm.

Probabilities to the Action That VIII Be
Taken Concerning the Tariff.

Probabilities to the Action That Will Be
Taken CONCERNING the Tariff.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-While everyone here
expects Q great deal of debate on the tariff bills
which will shortly appear in the House, and the
measures proposing a reduction of the surplus
and internal revenue. there is a much better
general idea of what is likely to follow in the
way Of legislation than has probably ever been
shown at this stage Of proposed reform. The
press and the people have generally debated
what is needed, and members and Senators have
made much investlga ton, that the
latter have made up their conclusions, and
although they will talk great deal as, a
matter of campaign information for their con.
stituents, they know well how they will
vote. Ii is said all hands that a bill will be
passed making a moderate reform of the tariff
placing sugar, lumber, salt and some of the COM
mob articles of consumption by the masses on
the free list, not impairing the great industries
of the country, and abolishing the tax on tobac-
co. These may be expected, In the Judgment
of the best minds in Congress, as the very likely
action which will follow in the next six months.
There will probably be $50 speeches delivered
in the House, submitted for publication In the
Congressional Record. and to give time for
these it is proposed to begin the work as early
next month possible. 1t will take several
weeks to get the measure out of the Senate
committee and some time to get it to the final
vote, even in that body, where things are done
In better order and form.

private schools be required to register and re-

required to visit and examine private schools, to
pass vote annually approving refusing to
approve such schools, and that after Sept. /,

from the Public Printer was adopted. Mr.. Nc
Kinley. of Ohio. then moved to take up and
consider his bill repeating the tobacco tax.
Some discussion ensued, from which it appeared
that the Democratic majority was averse to con-
siderlng any specific tax-reducton bill at this
time, preferng to take up that class of bills in
connection with the general tariff reduction bill
which it is the intention OF the committee TO
present TO the House. Finally, Mr.. Breckiu-
ridge, of Arkansas. moved TO defer the con-
sheraton of Mr.. McKinley's bill until the gen.
eral subject of revenue reduction is taken up by
the committee, and this motion prevailed by
strict party vote of to 4. The subject is ex-
pected to come up again at the meeting of the
committee next Tuesday.
