Yesterday was great day for indianapolis.
Mr.. Blaine was there, as the guest of General
Harrison, and the desire to see the two famous
men together was intense. There was pa
rade of large proportions, in which some 10000
persons participated. The moving column was
reviewed by General Harrison and MIR Blaine.
Everywhere the greatest enthusiasm prevailed
and the crowd was enormous. TO what Mr..
Blaine termed "a small section" of it he made
an effective address in the evening. The in
dications are increasing from day to day that
the Republicans of Indiana are thoroughly
aroused. and that continued work will leave
no room for doubt as to the result of the cleo
ton.

Bedell, the forger, was as contumacious
witness as is ever seen when he was taken to
court yesterday to testify in preli mnary eX-
animation. He refused to answer any ques-
tions whatsoever, even to the giving Of his
name, and declined also to state any reason
for his refusal. As he was already in the
Tombs. and as the only punishment for his
conduct is Imprisonment, the court was power
less. OF course, Bedcll was well aware of the
situation. II he had been a free man, he would
have acted differently. 10 guard against the
chance of his securing bail, an order to commit
him for contempt was made, and ne cannot go
at large until he has purged himself in the only
way pcssible-by giving the testimony which
was not forthcoming yesterday.
A careful analysis Of the figures OF the regis
tration in Brooklyn thus far, prepared by The
Brooklyn Eagle" Oem), shows that in the
wards properly classified as Republican the in
crease over the registration Of 1884 is 1888,
while in the Democratic wards there has been
an increase of only 1886. This is strong con
firmation Of the opinion that Brooklyn is be-
coming a Republican city, and is is showing
full of encouragement to the Republicans in
the present campaign. With frst-cass ticket
and with active work from this time on the
Republicans of Brooklyn have better chance

RUSSIAN WOOL.
Erauds and Abuses Reported in the Trade
Rptween Southern Russia and the
United States.

Washington telegram: The United
States consul at Odessa, Russia, has made
a report to the department Of state in re-
gard to the wool trade between southern
Russia and the United States. The con-
clusions of the report are:
The wool trade between South Russia
and the United States has been carried
on for twenty years greatly to the detri-
ment of the United States. All of the
wool shipped from South Russia to the
United States is the property of three or
four American importers. These import
erB. in combination with the shippers,
have conspired to prevent the recognition
of market price for the the so-called
Donskoi washed Wools at Rostoff- -on-Don.
All of these woods are and ever have been
secured wools. These woods have in ~ any
instances succeeded in entering the United
States at low duty limit (213 cents, 9TH
ers again at high duty, when all Of them
should have paid duty as secured Wools.
The fraudulent designation of these Wools
has benefited American importers, and
has been a corresponding loss to the hon
est wool merchants and the United States
government. The loss will reach between
fifteen and twenty million dollars The
charges in the invoices of wool shipped
from Odessa and Rostoff are false and are
introduced for the purpose Of defrauding
the revenue. The commissions charged
are never paid as commissions. The le-
gitimate and proper charges have been
excessive. The gross weight in an in
voice has caused great loss Of revenue and
has been successfully practiced for many
years. The interests of the United States
require the permanent closing of the Ros-
toff consular agency, and salaried con-
sui should be sent to Rostof- -on-Don.

The Latest in Watches.

Exchange: "Have you seen the latest
novelty in watches?" asked Broadway
jeweler of a reporter.
The reporter hadn't and said SO.
"Well,' resumed the jeweler, "I'll show
it to you. 1t is worn on the little finger
of the left hand. You don't believe it?
Look here"
He reached into the show case and
brought forth a seal ring.
''Now," said he, "that looks like the or
dinary seal ring. 1t isn't though"
A seal spring just beneath the setting
was touched and the stone flew open like
the cover Of watch and revealed mini
ature dial with tiny gold hands. The re-
porter raised it to his ear. The little
timepiece was ticking away with the reg
ularity Of it's bigger brethren. From the
top of the stone projected very small
beveled stem for winding.
"How long will it last?" asked the re-
porter.
1T is a miracle Of invention said the
jeweler. "The works are reduced to the
smallest possible compass, and they last
as long as those in the ordinary watch.
They are worth s45, but they are hardly
we'll on the market as yet"

The Preachers Oppose Him.

Pittsburg Special: Francis Murphy,
the temperance evangelist, is meeting with
considerable opposition from the ministers.
Since he began his meetings here two
weeks ago not one minister has rendered
him any assistance or even given him the
moral influence Of his presence. An effort
was made to secure one Of the churches
for the meetings, but this was also opposed,
and he is holding forth at Oil City hall.
Mr.. Murphy has, however, been very sue
cessful, and many hundreds have signed
the pledge. Probably the Pittsburg min
isters are not temperance men.

A New Treaty Wanted.

Boston Traveller: It whould seem that,
when in a single year American defaulters
have escaped to Canada, carrying with
them good portion of the nearly 81 ,000,-
900 which they have stolen, some plan
should be devised for bringing those
thieves to justice. Under the present ex-
tradition treaty with Great Britain, they
are safe in Canada. A burglar who breaks
into bank or store, secures a thousand
dollars and escapes to Canada, may be
brought back under the treaty, but the
trusted employe, cashier or clerk, who
gets away with half million is SAFE A
forger can be extradited, but the man who
defrauds public or private corporation
out of no matter how large sum-can-
not be reached. There is discrimination
in favor of the worst class of thieves that
should be abolished, and Canada should
be as much interested as the United
States in preventing her soil from becom-
ing safe asylum for criminals.

The Youngest Senator.

Washington special: The new senator
from West Virginia, Mr.. Faulkner, is the
youngest man in the body, being six
months the junior Of his colleague, Mr.
Kenna and nine months younger than
Mr.. Spooner, Of Wisconsin. He will be
forty years old in March. The youngest
man ever admitted to the senate was
Stephen w. Dorsey, who was thirty-siz.
years old when he was sworn in. Their
have been number of senators who were
leas than forty-one when they we're sworn
in, but the average in that body was new
er SO low as now. Mr.. Frye, of Maine, is
the youngest looking man in the senate,
although he is nearly sixty, and is the
grandfather Of nine healthy youngsters.
He has not a gray hair in his head His
complexion is as fresh as it was forty
years ago, and he does not look more than
thirty-fve. The oldest looking man is
Mr.. Edmunds, who would be taken for a
hundred at least. Mr.. Evarts is a bundle
of wrinkles, and Mr.. Morrill,, the man who
carries the greatest number of years, looks
fully as old as he is-seventy eight.
