INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 21.-The sensational report sent from here of the discovery of a plot to assassinate President-elect Harrison created great indignation among General Har- rison's many warm friends. At the Harrison household the story is unhesitatingly declared to be the purest fabrication without shadow upon which to build it. No one in the city can be found who ever heard of the alleged attempt upon General Harrison's life, nor had any thought of such 6 possibility seriously engaged the consideration of any of the gene rai's friends or of his family 50 far as diligent inquiry can ascertain.

Any policy that was based on the idea that the friendly tribes would prefer the govern ment of England to that of Egypt was found ed upon sand Those who advised the gov ernment to seize Suakim and hoist the Eng fish flag there should study the treaty of Paris.

Transfer of the Bostons.

A COURIER reporter spied Manager 0. F.
 Clark of the Bostons on Chapel street yester-
 day afternoon. He looks as we'll as ever,
 even if the Connecticut managers did freeze
 him out. He wore fur cap and fur-
 trimmed overcoat. He was glad to see the
 reporter and, when closely questioned, said:
 F'Yes, there is something new in polo. am
 going to transfer my team to Poughkeepsie, NY, and am on my way there now. A New
 York league of five clubs is to be established,
 all below Poughkeepsie and within circuit of seventy-fve miles. Amsterdam and Yon-
 kers will be represented, but not New York city. Poughkeepsie will be the headquarters of the league. The people there made me two experimentation to trans fer my team there or to have me play four games 8 week in the league, with 8 weekly guarantee. The Connecticut managers will have no more trouble on my account. Why, did you know, that the night before the Connecticut 1eage meeting when my applica- tion for admission was to be acted on would
 have been willing to bet all the money mad in the world that would have been ad- mitted."
 "There is an opening in Birmingham for 8 team" said the reporter.
 "Well, I will put team in there if I can be admitted into the Connecticut league. You see in Poughkeepsie they would not care about my playing my best team, as the other teams are mnch weaker than mine. In that way ceuld have team In each league that would hold it's own"
 "Will you keep Leydon?"
 'I can't say yet. But I've got another good piece of news. Yesterday I sent 8 check for $500 to the Boston Herald to bind challenge to the New Bedfords tu play that team a series of polo games, best two in three, the first two to be played in New Bedford on Christmas day and the third, if necessary, in Boston, each club to name six men, than which none other shall be allowed to participate in the games Well, must be off to catch the train.
