INDIANA'S RATIFICATION.
The Proposed Demonstration at In
dianapolis Postponed to Saturday.


INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov. 13.-The State rati-
fcation meeting, fixed to take place Wednesday
night, the 14th instant, was at a late hour last
night postponed by Chairman J. n. Huston and
other members Of the committee Of arrange
ments until Saturday, the 18th instant. Com
plants reached the committee yesterday from
the interior and from the railroad companies
that Wednesday did not afford them sufficient
time in which to prepare for and participate in
big State demonstration, such as the commit
tee had in view. Chairman Huston is at his
home in Connersville, but on learning Of the
complaints, he telegraphed his friends and
members of the committee authorizing post
ponement until Saturday, thus enabling clubs
from Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland and other
cities to be present il they desired.
Gen. Harrison will, il is understood, place
himself in the hands Of the committee for that
day, and will hold public reception in tho
afternoon, either at the Capitol or the City
Hall, as the committee may determine at their
meeting this afternoon. In the evening, the
President-elect will review the parade If the
weather permits of cae. This viii probably be
the last public demonstration in which Gen.
Harrison will in any way participate prior to
his departure for Washingt next spring. as
he anticipates season of rest and quiet after
next Saturday, which will enable him to give
his attention to his correspondence and to mat
ters requiring serious consideration.

A PERUVIAN INSULT.
An Apology Refused for an Outrage by
Soldiers on an American Consulate.

An Apology Refused for an Outrage by
Soldiers on an American Consulate.
PANAMA, Nov. ga serious international
trouble il on between Peru and the gov
ernment Of the United States. The circum-
stances are these: On the assumption that q
house at Mollendo belonged to the Areouips
railway and was therefore the property Of the
state, orders were given to occupy il by force
although the building was declared to belong
to q citizen of the United 6tates It was &C
cordingly seized by squad of soldiers. The
United States Consulate was situated in the
building and this was forcibly closed, pad
locked, the coat Of arms removed and the
agent prevented from entering his ofice for
nearly q week. The American minister at
Lima, who protested against the seizure Of the,
house, ON receipt Of intelligence Of thif
aggression cabled to his government,
and was instantly instructed to demand an
apology. The house was vacated after six
days occupation, but the government peremp-
torily refused to make an apology and rather
upheld the proceeding. On this the minister
teiegrsphed the intelligence Of the refusal,
and the Department Of State at Warrington
has ordered him TO forward full particulars OF
the affair before taking further ssepc. The
recently effected treaty between the United
States and Peru - wen - International law
secures from Outrage and any sort Of interfer-
ence all consular archives and property. and un-
Lees Peru can show some more plausible reason
than mistaken sssumRtion for violating the
consular privileges, and that too IN fAce Of .

The New York Mayoraltv Fight.


HOW MR. HEWITT GAME TO BE INDoRsED BIZ THE
AMERICAN PARTY.
Thomas Coakley, one of the Tammany braves
employed in the House, tells how MIR. Hewitt
got the Endorsement of the American party in
the New York mayoralty contest Mr.. Coakley
is one Of the hustlers in New York politics. He
was looking out for Mr.. Grants interests, he
says, and he proposed to Mr.. Cooker that Mr..
Hewitt be indorsed by the American party.
Have it done," said Croker. That night Mr..
Coakley got six members Of the American party
in convention and passed resolutions praising
Hewitt for his antagOnism to the Irish, to the
Germans, and to foreign-born citizens gener-
ally. 1t took the whole convention to make q
committee Of six to carry the resolutions to Mr..
Hewitt They did not meet with a cordial re-
ception by the magor. They stood with un-
covered heads while he berated them in most
picturesque Hewitt style for daring to take
such action without first consulting him. But
their admiration for him was not lessened.
They went of at once and issued lOO, 600 copies
OF the American party paper, in which the
irish and German hags were represented as
being torn down by the patriotic mayor. These
papers were all sent to naturalixed citizens ssto
convert them to Hewitt's cause,' and Mr.. Coax
icy thinksit contributed largely to Mr.. Grants
success.

Another Sensation I'm London.

THE BODY OF A WELL-DREssED WOMAN POUND
FLOATING IN THE THAMES
LONDON, Nov. 13.-The body Of well-dressed
woman was taken out of the Thames this MORN
ing. There were marks on the body which
gave rise to a suspicion that the woman had
been murdered, but it is possible that she COM
mitted suicide. and that the marks were re-
ceived by contact with objects in the water.
The police searched the casual wards of the
various police stations in the hope of getting
some clue to the murderer but they were un-
successful. They arrested one man who had q
bowie knife in his possession, but there is no
reason to believe that he was instrumental in
the woman's death, and he viii probably be
discharged.
