The Democrats of the House Have
Three Plans on Foot.

Ihe Democrats OF the House have
Three Plans on Foot.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The Senate en-
crossing clerks worked hard all day en-
deavoring to complete the Senate substi-
tute for the Mills tariff bill, so as to get it
back to the House before adjournment, but
they were unable to do so. 1t
will be ready to go to the House
tomorrow. When it reaches there Speaker
Carlisle will refer it to the committee on
ways and means pro fornlG unless obJec-
ton was made, and then the House will
have to determine what shall be done with
it. The democrats are discussing three
plans to deal with the bill:
l. Let it die in committee.
2. To report it back to the house and let
it die on the calendar
3. To let it go on conference.
No course of action has been decided
upon, however, and there is talk of a eau
Gus to settle the matter.
SENATOR ALLISON WORN OUT.
Senator Allison, tired cut with work and
watching, spent the day at his house. His
anxiety over the passage of the tariff bill
yesterday wore upon him so that after 1t
was all over he was in a highly nervous
state. The bill got through by a scratch.
If Messrs. Riddleberger and Blair, or either
of them, had had the courage of their
avowed convictions it might have been
beaten. Senator Allison has insisted that
it could have been saved by democratic
votes, but he could not prove it. However,
by diplomacy and concession, Senators ALI
son and Aldrich held all the republicans in
line but in the end the strain and efforts
sent MIR. Allison to bed.

1Np1ANA,s BITTER POLITICS.
The Fight Over the Lieutenant Gov,
ernorship Reopened.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 23-In the House
this morning Mr.. Willard of Dubois re-
vived the quarrel over the lieutenant gov.
ernorship question by introducing resolu-
tion requiring the auditor of the state to
appear before the ways and means commit
tee and state whether he had ever paid out
any money to Lieut.. Gov. Robertson, if
So out of what fund it was paid, and by
what authority he paid it. Representatives
Brownlee of Grant and Adams of Morgan,
leaders of the republican side of the House.
made bitter speeches in opposition
to the resolution, declaring that it
was introduced for the purpose
of irritating old sores. They stated that
the auditor of the state had paid money to
Lieut.. Gov. Robertson, and that it was
paid out of the same fund from which all
preceding lieutenant governors had been
paid Mr.. Adams said that the democrats,
not content with robbing Lieut. Gov. Rob-
ertson Of his seat, now proposed to rob his
pocket. The resolution was passed by a
party vote. It's passage means that the
amount paid Lieut.. Gov. Robertson will be
stricken from the general appropriation
bill, and thus open the way for getting the
question as to whether or not Mr.. Robert
son was really lieutenant governor before
the courts
THE FIGHT IN The HOUSH.
In the House to-day a resolution was
offered by democratic member appoint
ing a committee Of five to investigate the
books of the treasury for the years
of 1887 and 1888, the admitted object
being to ascertain how much money

son as salary during that period. The
republican members solidly supported the
resolution, which created surprise, and it
passed by unanimous vote On motion
of Mr. Schmuck, democrat, the reso!u-
tion was rsconsidered, and 10y party vote
laid on the table. Representative Stuble-
field, republicar then introduced resolution
that committee of five wait upon the
auditor and ascertain whether, or not, Hon
Greene SMITH, a democrat the p esiding
officer OF the Senate last session had not
owe. drawn his salary account. This was
defeated by party vote.
GRAND JURY sQUABBLE.
The discovery was made yesterday after
noon that two of the members of Tie grand
jury are on the pay roll of the general as
they have been the q only few times. The
court was informed of the act and will
make an investigation. The law has not
been carefully examined, but it is believed
at evidence supporting the charge that
they have been holding political positions
to which they were appointed after becom-
ing members of the grand jury will invalid
ate all the indictments that have been re-
turned. Judge Woods did not receive in
formation regarding the matter until late
in the afternoon. 1t is understood tnat he
will make an inquiry into it and may take
some action at once.

Will be Short the Cause.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-InquirY at the
treasury department indicates that the va
cancy in the office of national bank exam
iner at New York, and the office of chief
special agent Of the treasury at the port OF
New York, caused by designations, are not
likely to be filled during the present
administration. Both are lucrative Offices,
the former especially so, but it
is represented as almost impossi-
bic to secure persons competent for
t duties who are willing to accept the po-
sition. This is due TO an impression that
the tenure of officials appointed to these Of
fees at the present time is apt to be very
brief. In the meantime Col. Ayres has
been charged with the duties Of the special
agents Office, and in case the service of a
bank examiner are required in New York
before regular appointment is made, an
examiner from one of the neighboring
states could be sent there.
