1T would if Judge Gresham W ere In

But such is not the case. The people Of
Indiana want Senator Harrison. They are
not hostile to Judge Gresham, of course,
but Senator Harrison is their man.
Further than that, every delegate from
Indiana favors Senator Harrison, and is
pledged to his support. How longs just

sHERMAN's HACKERS.

The Ohio delegates would stick to their
senator in this convention, said Mr.. Cap
pellar, until sheol was congealed. AS for
Judge Thurman" he added, $50 far from
his nomination being strong one, it Is the
reverse. Judge Thurman is indeed weak in
Ohio. We don't put Senator Sherman for
ward because Judge Thurman is to be
feared, but because Mr. Sherman is the
strongest and best equipped in the field.

expressions of Patrick Egan and other
lrish-Americans favoring Gen. Alger
in preference to Judge Gresham.
Mr.. Hecker limited that other surprises
were in store. AS nearly as could DO judged
by the surface indications the Alger agents
have their eyes on Illinois, hoping to divide
the apparently solid Gresham phalanx in
the state by capturing at least portion Of
the old supporters Of Gen. Logan.

Atterward do not believe his friends will
persist, and the members of the New York
delegation will scatter as many ways as
there are candidates. Between ten and
twenty-five of them will go for Senator
Sherman"

Mr. Dougherty Lays the Subject Before
Congress in a Resolution.
WASHINGTON, June 11.-In the house to-
day, under the call of states, the following
was introduced and referred:
By Mr.. Dougherty of Florida-A resolu-
ton reciting that at this time there seems
to be no probability of the passage this ses-
sion of congress of the Mills bill? that there
is large surplus in the treasury which is
daily accommodating to the detriment of
general business, and which tends to con-
traction of the circulating medium
Of the country; that the uncertainty
whether the Mills bill in its present shape
will ever become a law, is to say the least
great; that 1t is almost certain not to give
in time relief; that the late un-
fortunate and unnecessary civil war
made an enormous and daily increasing
pension list just and necessary !;
that the success of the United States made
possible, and secure the accumulation of
large private and corporate fortunes all
over the country; and instructing the COM
mlttee on ways and means to report
to the house bills: First, repeal
ing all laws providing for internal
revenue taxation and removing all
ol said tax except that now collected upon
spirits distilled in whole or in part from
grain and malt liquors; secondly, providing
Tor the levy and collection Of graduated
tax upon all incomes Of persons, corpora
tons, associations and trusts of $1,000 and
upwards per aunum, the proceeds of said
ihcome tax to be devoted exclusively to the
payment Of pensions; and third, providing
mat all articles or products not manufact-
ured or produced in the United States shall
enter ports of the United States free of all
Import duty.

The Seizure of London Staten ent De-
bated in the Lower House.
LONDON, June lin the house of com
mons, to-day, Lord George Hamilton, first
lord of the admiralty, stated that the calcu-
lation made in regard to the number of
transports necessary to enable 100, 900 men
to land in England and seize London by sur
prise took into consideration that such a
feat was possible that whole army could
disembark simultaneously, and when
landed that it would be capable OF
rapid movement. The estimate that ships
with a gross tonnage of 4S0, 900 would be re
quired for Transporting the invading forces,
he SAID, was an assumption that it would be
equal to three army corps, comprising cav
airy and Artillery.
EXACT FIGURES WANTED.
Childers asked, seeing the interest which
the subject was exciting, that detailed and
authoritative statement be presented to pal =
lament.
Mr.. Hanbury asked whether the naval
and military departments had consulted on
the subject
Lord George Hamilton replied that data
had been obtained thirteen years ago as a
result OF joint conference and promised to
produce those Of the transport department
which satisfied him that the tonnage re-
ferred to Gid not overestimate the prepnra-
ton necessary for landing such force.
Such an invasion force from the continent,
he continued, implied distribution of in
vaders in ports hundreds of miles apart with
a successful voyage of not less than week
Instead OF few years and made without
opposition from a hostile feet.

COTTON BAGaING AND THE DUTY
The Senate's Subcommittee on the
Tariff Hears Manufacturers.

Tariff Hears Manufacturers
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE senate sub
committee on the tariff to-day heard the
views of cotton bagging makers on the
tariff. The committee was told that cotton
bagging manufactures had been established
with imported machinery, upon which
duty OF 40 per cent. had been paid, and that
the capacity of these establishments was
now fully 100 per cent. in advance of the
demand for bagging.
Reduction of the present rates could be en-
dured only in case jute butts wers made
free. The competition in India in bagging
ls so fierce, however, that if it were made
free as proposed by the Mills bill, the facto-
rles would suffer speedy ruin 1t was fur
ther represented that there is no demand
from planters for free bagging, innsmuch
as bagging, as well as the iron hopping on
cotton bales, is all weighed and paid for as
cotton, and the planter in this way receives
more for the baggiug than he pays for it.
