ItHas "No Political significance" ;"

INDIANAPOLIS, December 24.--Notwith-
standing the general publication this
mornir Of the notice that Gen. Harrison
would hold 70 receptions during the holi-
day week, he had a greater number of Wis
itors to-day than usual. Aside from the
large number of callers, the General was
kept very busy with his mail, which has
greatly increased during the past few
days, which have brought new batch OF
congratulations rendering him the COM
plimsnts of the season. Numerous little
presents of sn mex pensive character
arrived to-day. One Of the most unique
Christmas gifts come to-day. from b. W.
Hoffman, Of Terra Hsute. II is small
iron armed clock with an automatic fire
lighting attachment. The arm hcldiug
the fuse extends nearly foot from the
tide of the clock. The inventor writes
the General that he has at last solved the
great problem, as to who shall get up first
during the cold winter mornings ond light
the fire.
Ex-senator Henry G.. Davis. Of West
Virginia, arrived in the city late last nigh
and WAS an early visitor at the Harrison
residence this morning, departing for home
on the noon train. The presence Of Ex'
Senator Davis has given rise to corsidera-
BILE newspaper speculation regarding that
Centleman's politics and his Democracy is
impelched in some quarters, as result OF
his visit. Upon the authority OF General
Hsrrison it may be stated that Sapator
Davis visit bad no political siguilicancs
whatever, aud politics were not dis
cussed. Tue Ex Senator's visit was
purely social, as it is we'll known that
during their joint residence in Washing.
ton the ladies of the two families formed
a mutual attachment, and the ex-senator q
younges. daughter, now Mrs. Lieutenant
Brown, was one Of the bridesmaids st
Mrs. McKee's Wedding. General and MrP'
Harrison have frequently b zen the guests
of Senator and Mrs. Davis at Deer Park.
In conclusion, it may be said there IL
nothing discernibls from close view upoi
which tn warrant the speculation that ex'
Senator Davis is CAbi net possibility.

A COOKING MAIN.
Wheeling ard Ste subsnville Birds Come To-
Nether Last Night.


Chicken fighting is an amusement that
is INDUCED in probably 10 grtater sI-
tent during the Easter, Thanksgiving and
Christmas holidays than at any other sea
sons in the year, and quite large cooking
main had tesn arranged for last evening,
between steubenville, Ohio, and Wheeling
birds. As the gentlemen interested did
not care about going out to the Fulton pit,
they arranged to have il in the city.
Accordingly, shout s o'clock last even
ing, purity of about eiahty gentlemen sa-
semb,ei at a certain place in the city
where eommodious room bad been placed
at their disposal, wherein a nice pit had
been built, surrounded On all sides by COM
Portable seats.
The main was between S.enbenyille and
Wheeling birds, and II WAS originally in
tended that six fights should take place.
However, as six of tic birds did not match
in weight, THREE of the fights were declared
oil.
About $50 o'clock the first main was
announced. Il was between q gray bird
from Wheeling and q red from Sieubsn-
VILE. This fight was fer SIS side, and
was quite pretty one and hotly contested.
II resulted in victory for the Wheeling
bird
The " cond fight was also for SIS side,
and did not last over bait minute. 1t
was between Wheeling yellow and S.tu-
benyille rcd. Almost at the first fly the
Ohio bird succeeded, with terrific lunsc,
in sticking his gafl clear through the Wheel
ing chickens neck. and that ended the
bird and the fight
The third ard last fight was tbs largest.
1t was for 500 tide, and il was corker,
The Wheeling bird was gray acd ths
Steubsnvillian rel. From the start the
fight was holly contested, art for at least
twenty minute, it continued in the most
exciting manner. The Wheeling bird be-
came groggy, however, and IT WAS knocked
out so badly ihst it WAS impossible for it
10 brace up, and st the end of the twenty
minutes the fowl wss unable TO show front,
the fight being awarded 10 the SteubtnviIle
| chicken.
Old sports who have witnessed many
cock fights pronounced 1t the most exciting
aud gamsst contest thty had ever witnt ~,
e1, and all left we'll satisfied with the even
ings entertainment, except those Tho lost
their money.
"There are many people who dsprecate
cock fighting" said = well known lover
Of the amusement, las. evening, but
when you come right down 10 fine point,
PEOPLE Ipflict much more punishment on
chickens when they tie their legs together
and CARY them home dangling from Q
market basket. The birds that fight are
all game, and they do not suffer one-iourth
as much rs the market basket ones / refer
to-
1t is understood another main will oc
cur IN a short time, and IL will bs one that
the Ohio pscple are very likely TO gel
worsted in. There were about ten Steuben
vile sports down last evening, and they
left highly ela:sd with their victory. Sew.
eral fights also took place at the Fultor
pit last evening, between home birds, and
the main was kept mp uutil very lat
hour.

We, the Methodists preachers Of Colum-

We therefore respectfully protest against
the proposed expenditure of nearly $780,

DETROIT, DeCembe 24--M. II. Ford,
Chairman Of the special Committee on In
migration and Labor, arrived in Detroit
yesterday morning. He began his inVesti'
cation in the Russell house Iarlors this
morning, and continued till Doop, when
he left tor Grsrd Rapids TO stay over
Christmas ut home Mr.. Fold will return
Wednesday ard resume the the taking Of
testimony.
Lyman A. Brant, deputy collector Of
customs, testified that his duties are exclu-
sivsly in the IN crest of the customs, and
he pays no attention to the pauper law Ot
1882. and makes no examination relative
TO the cootract lAbcr law. From his Con-
nec.ion With labor orgariz iticns be knew
that very large percentage, at least 40
per cent, of foreign people from Europe
aud Canada work in our priutiDg Of
ficEs as competitors. Many OF
the printers live in Canada.
In other trades the same practice
prevails, but be did not know that induce
menls were held out 10 bring such work
men here He knew Of 4 number OF
lumbeIman coming into Michigan from
Canada tn work in the pine woods who, ne
presumed, went back TO Canada in the
spring
Henry A Robinson, 3 Justice of the peace
and a prominent member OF labor o.gani-
zltions, testified that he bad personal
knowledge OF Canadians coming INTO the
city for employment, working daily and
returning at night. Witness had seen sdver-
tisemeuis in Canadian papers for employees
in Detroit, bat no names were signed 10
them. Thsre was plenty of American
lab ;rers for the various trades, and the
time and objsc. of securing Canadian
crsftsmsn was 10 break down the unions
aud cheaper wages. Witness etated that
it was very difficult to convict employers
OF the ofiense of importing labor. In the
Detroit street car service there are about
200 psrson3 employed who are aliens. A
partial canvass of the labor organizations
developed the fact that aliens formed %
psr cant Of their number.
