Solving the New York Problem.

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-Some specula-
tion has been indulged in as to who first
suggested General Tracy's name to Presi-
dent Harrison. Credit should be given to
Franklin Woodruff, and to his nephew,
Timothy L. Woodruff, of Kings county;
also, to Senator Hiscock and j. Sloan
Fassett. They called General Harrison's
attention to the fact that if it had
not been for the very excellent
poll tical work done by Kings county, the
State would not have been Republican.
The gentlemen named were the first to sug-
gest Tracy. They did it at o time when
the New York situation was in the greatest
perplexed as to just what he should do in
order to satisfy the Knickerbockers. They
conceived the idea that there was q good
field for them here, and they came down to
regard for General Tracy. is indicated by
a remark made by him when the appoint
ment of the Kings county favorite was un-
der consideration. The Maine statesman,
in discussing the question with friend of
the General, asked: by the way, wasn't
1SS0p
"Yes," was the reply.
|. "Well, / like him all the better for that"
responded the next Secretary of State.
Those who recall the fierce struggle at
Chicago expressed the most agreeable sur
prise when they heard of the remark.
When Col w. II. Baird. Timothy Woodruff
and Clarence Banaw called upon the Presi-
dent-elect and expressed, in behalf of the
Kings county Republicans, their gratitude
for Colonel Tracy's appointment, Gen. Har-
rison observed: Aren't you little prema-
turef"
'Oh, we thought it was all fixed, except
the mere formality of confirma ton by the
Senate" replied Colonel Banaw.
The President-elect laughed heartily, and
assured his visitors that it gratified him
exceedingly to learn that the proposed ap-
pointment pleased the Republicans in the
county they represent.

STARTLING SAMOAN RUM0R
Conflict Said to Have Occurred Between
American and German War-Ships.
In Which the United States Vessel Is Said to
Have Been the AggressOr-NOthing Known
at Berlin, London, or Washington.

BERLIN, March 3.-A rumor is in circula-
tion at Kiel, that naval conflict has taken
place, in Samoan waters, between the
United States war-ships stationed there
and the Germon corvette Olga. The gov
ernment officials here have no knowledge
of such an engagement.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-Secretary Bay
ard said. tonight, that he had not heard
anything of the reported conflict between
German and an American war vessel in
Samoan waters. He regards such conflict
as highly improbable, as there was
an understanding that belligerent action in
Samoa should be suspended pending the
conference to be held at Berlin. He also
pointed out that it was hardly possi-
BILE that information of such state of
affairs would be known at Kiel before the
news was received at Berlin OF Washington.
LONDON, March 3.-The American and
German legations here have received no
advices regarding the reported engagement
in Samoa between war-shIps of their re-
spective governments.
BERLIN March 3.-A truce has been ar
ranged between the German consul to Sa-
moa and King Mataafa. to remain in force
until after the Berlin conference. By the
terms of the truce Mataafa agrees to pre-
vent the destruction of German estates
In connection with the departure from
Berlin to Samoa of Herr Stuebel, it is said
at the German capital that the prepara-
tions on the part of Germany for the COM
ing Samoan conference are complete. 1t is
believed that the proceedings of the con-
ference will be purely formal, but it is not
thought that there will be any difficulty in
arriving at settlement Of the differences

New Treatment of Heart Disease.

It is well known that at acertain stage
of heart disease dropsy inevitably sets in.
Professor German See, of Paris, has long
been experimenting with view to dis
cover what element in milk rendered it
such an admirable agent to stimulate the
kidneys, increase the flow therefrom and
hence prove of such great service in
dropsies. The conviction which he ar
rived at was that the one important ele.
ment is sugar of milk. Acting on that
theory he selected twenty-five patients
with heart disease, in all of which there
was more or less dropsy. To each he
gave 100 grammes of the sugar of milk
day, dissolved in two quarts of water.
In all these cases a marked effect on the
kidneys was felt within twenty-four to
forty-fve hours, and the dropsies di-
minished rapidly, and after series OF
treatment lasting from six to eight days,
almost all such swellings disappeared.
This discovery is regarded as one of the
most important which has been made in
the medical world for years s-New York

From statistics gathered by promi
nent life insurance company it appears
the occupation most conducive to lon
gevity is that of merchants. Next to
these in expectation of life come farm
ers; then follow in succession doctors,
lawyers, clergymen, shop keepers and
hotel keepers. 1t may be mentioned that
among hotel and saloon keepers, brewers
and wholesale liquor dealers the deaths
from consumption, heart disease and
zymotic diseases are comparatively few,
while the rate for nervous diseases and
diseases of the liver is extremelyshigh.

Sake OUT or the same cup, three and
three and three--nine times.
So ends the sacred ceremony. Then
the nearest relatives of the husband are
hurried in turn to the presence of the
bride to be introduced to her. AhI but
now follows the banquet, only not a
good, jolly one. 1t is family banquet;
none but the blood relatives of the hus-
band and the very nearest of the bride
are present. 1t is solemn, formal one
in spite of all the magnificent dishes and
sparkling wines.
So ends a Japanese wedding in solem-
nifty from beginning to the end. and |
rather think it should. OF course / am
not writing of our jinrikishamen's and
coolies wedding, which some smart for
eigners saw, and to which they added
little color and introduced silly modifca-
tions. and finally fitted up for a model
festival of Christian churches to raise
charity! YetsIdo,not mean to say our
lower classes marry without any cere-
mony; only they are generally jolly peo-
pie, and everything goes in a jolly way
with them.
The legal side of marriage in Japan is
only this, that no marriage is legal until
it is registered at the registry Office, and
the law recognizes only one man and one
woman as wife and a husband. Japan
is not polygamous nation
If it is the question of law, Japan is
not a polygamous nation. If, as matter
of popularsentiment the younger gener-
alton has it entirely against anything
short of total announcement of the old
idea-and what nation has not had it's
old idea in practice at one time or an
other? At all events, if the Japanese
marriage system seems all unnatural to
foreigners, we have still the satisfaction
of being able to diSprove that silly state
ment which has of late greatly tickled
the incurable sore of bald-headed, false
teethed bachelors and maidens, MAR
riage is failure, because it is emf
nently successful in Japan, although di-
vorce is perhaps as easy in Japan as i'll

quenca of the original conception of
what marriage is, open and honorable,
and unlike the shameless maneuverings

fiction called a graduated divorce system.

The circumstance was reported to the
ranchmen, who were determined to rid the
country of the desperate pair
Averlll and the woman several times
have been ordered to emigrate or cease ap-
propriating, but had disregarded all warn
ings. Word was passed along the river and
from fifteen to twenty men gathered at
designated rendezvoua. They galloped to
the cabin of Averill and Seattle Kate with
out unnecessary noise. The rustlers were
at home The thieves and boy in their
employ We're sitting beside rude fireplace,

The trio were quickly overpowered.
Averill blubbered, protesting his innocence

of the same rope were fastened about the
necks OF the rustlers as they sat in their
saddles, and the boy followed The horses
were led from under the pair. Both kicked
in lively style for ten to fifteen minutes

Memorial Tribute to Those Who Landed
on Plymouth Rock.
PLYMOUTH, July 22d.-The cost of the
monument to be dedicated here on the 1st
of August to commemorate the landing of
the Pilgrims. has been $500 900. The de-
sign IS by Billings, the Boston architect
The pedestal and tablet were rebuilt by
contributions from all parts of the United

the late Oliver Ames, uncle of the present
Governor OF Massachusetts. Toward the
hgure of Morality the commonwealth of
Massachusetts appropriated $4,000, and for
the accompanying relief the State of Con-
necticut gave $1,000. The figure of Educa-
ton, with its tablet, was the gift of Robert
Mather, OF Hartford. Conn, while for that
of Freedom, with its table,, an appropria-
alton of $4,000 was secured from the
United States Government, mainly through
the exertions of John D. Long. Law and
its tablet were paid for by contributions
from the legal fraternity throughout the
country.
The cornerstone was laid August 2. 1859,
with impressive ceremonies, which in
cluded addresses by Richard Warren, of
New York, then President of the Pilgrim
Society General n. P Banks, then Gov
ernor OF Massachusetts Hon Salmon P.
Chase and Colonel John T. Heard, then
Grsnd Master of the Grand Lodge of Ma
sons.
The dedication exercises bid fair to b.
worthy of the occasion. Recognizing the
national character Of the monument, invi.
tations have been extended to 100 gentle
men of national distinction w. c. ?.
Breckenridge, of Kentucky, will be the
orator and John Boyle 0'Reilly poet of the
day.
The Masons are to perform the dedicatory
ceremony in the early forenoon. The
speech making is all to take place at din
ner, which will be served at l o'clock in
the hall OF the Pilgrim Society. In the
evening there is to be grand ball and an
illumination and fireworks display on a
scale never before equaled in this section.
The people in the vicinity are enthusiastic
to degree never before known, and headed
by the veteran, William T. Davis, who, by
the way, presided when the cornerstone
was laid, have resolved to make it the
greatest in their annals
