INDIANA COAL OPERATORS.


They agree upon a Plar OF Action, but Decline
to Take the Public Into Their Confidence.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, March 19.-The In
diana operators who were in session here
yesterday continued their meeting until
after midnight, and adjourned sine die.
They would say nothing as to their plan Of
operations for the future, but it is pretty
well understood in a general way. The OBJ
ject is, of course, to secure a reduction in
miners wages after the end of the year for
which the present agreement was made
that is, April 80. The disruption of the
federation of the miners and operators of
Ohio. Pennsylvania and Indiana makes it
possible for the Indiana operators to
drive the best bargain possible with
the miners, who happen at this time to be
divided in their labor organizations. the
new order. the Progressive Union and the
Knights of Labor Each order is suspicious
of the other getting control in the mines.
The operators say they will meet with the
miners to see if a scale can be agreed upon,
but that they will not recognize any par
are united, the miners are divided, and the
outcome of the contest ought to be easily
foretold.
The meeting was attended by represent
atives of about all the mines in the State.
The following executive committee was in
structed to carry out the wishes of the
meeting: President Jenne, A. j. Craw-
ford, of the first, or Brazil district: j. S.
Talley, of the second, or Terre Haute dis
trict; Perry III. Blue, of the third, or Sui
Ivan district; kenner, of the fourth, or
Washington district. No time was set for
another meeting, nor will the committee
let il be known when or what their first
proposition TO the miners will be.

The American College at Rome Gives a Din
ner in Honor of the American Pilgrims.
ROME, March 19.-The American College
gave grand dinner, this evening, in honor
of the leaders of the American pilgrims.
Many prelates were present. Bishop Keane,
the president of the new Catholic Univer-
sity at Washington, spoke in English,
Latin and French. His remarks were much
applauded. The Pope's vicar, Cardinal
ParOcchi, delivered a powerful Latin ora
tion, on behalf of the Pope. He expressed
the Pope's admiration for American insti-
tutiOns, and spoke of the deep interest tax
en- by his Holiness in the birth of the
Washington University, which he regarded
as one of the chief glories of bis pontifcate.
Cardinal Schiaffino spoke in Latin. He
sketched the work of the Catholic Church
in establishing universities in all ages
and in all countries. and eulogized
the Washington University as the
crOwning work of Christian ecucation-a
work that ,T was destined to display America
perfect accord between the highest learn
ing and science and the Catholic faith.
Mgr. Jacobin traced Americas wonderful
progress and paid a tribute to the priests
who placed the seeds of the Catholic re-
ligiOn there and fostered its advancement.
He referred to the treasures of faith poured
forth by Catholic Ireland, and contrasted
the strong and vigorous life of Americas
institutions and people and of the Catholic
Church in America with the sadly painful
situation of the people and church in the
old world.
Rector Pacquet, of the Quebec University,
rendered his congratulations on the birth
of a sister university, and wished it pros
perity.
The Pope presented his portrait by Ugo-
lini.
Charges Against Hungarian Ministers.
PEsTH, March 19.-In the lower house of
the Diet, to-day, Herr Eoetvoe, member
of the opposition, during the discussion of
an Interpolation, charged Premier Tisza
with procuring the construction of rail-
ways where he owned estates, for the pur-
pose of increasing their value.
Herr Tisza, who was received with
cheers, refuted the charges
Herr Baroza, Minister of Public Works,
also repudiated the charges and condemned
the attempt to slander the Ministers
The house, only the Independents dis
senting, resolved to take formal notice of
the replies of the Ministers.
Count Stefankarolyi. interposing. said
that although he was opposed to Premier
Tisza. he did not approve DHerr Eoetove's
tactics, and he moved a resolution that the
house emphatlcally ,repel the calumnies
against Herr Tsza. The house applauded.

Whitelaw Reid Nominated for Paris-Gossip
About Other Important Selections.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 19.-Considerable
surprise was expressed at the Capitol to-
day when the nomination of Whitelaw
Reid to be minister to France was received.
1t was believed that he would be sent to
England. The nomination of Mr.. Reid for
the French mission may mean that New
York is to have two frst-class positions
abroad. Up to last evening President Har-
rison thought of rendering the English mis-
sion to Chauncey NJ. Depew. but he con-
cluded, before bedtime, that the New
York editor should have the place. This
morning it was suggested that, since
Mr.. Depew was out of the ques-
tion for any mission other than
the English, and it would not be improper
to give the Empire State two missions, it
would be well to send Mr.. Reid to Paris
and hold off the English mission for Mr..
Depew; and, as it stands. Mr.. Depew may
60 to London yet. An effort was made by
the President to have the New Workers
choose between Messrs. Depew and Reid,
but they divided Mr.. Reid seemed to
have a preponderance of the men from the
State in Congress, but Mr.. Depew led with
the people throughout the State:
To appoint both of these. giant
Republicans will please all factions,
and the impression is that Mr.. Depew will
be appointed.
Murat Halstead, who has been mentioned
in connection with the French and German
missions, has intimated that he preferred
the latter, and now that Mr.. Reid has been
selected for Paris, only Berlin remains as
the first love for the Cincinnati editor. 1t
is not likely. however, that Mr.. Halstead
will go to Berlin. He is more likely to 60
to Vienna or st. Petersburg

The Weayers' Strike.

FALL RIVER, Mass. March l9-The strike
situation here remains practically un-
changed. The weavers did not return to
work to-day, as anticipated. and the major
ity of mills are entirely shut down. The
few in partial operation have about the
same numcer of weavers at work as last
was held in the park this afternoon.
Speeches were made. and encouraging re-
ports submitted. There is To indication
that the strikers will weaken for some time,
and manufacturers admit there is every
prospect Of long struggle.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Although it has
been understood that Fred Grant'sappoint-
ment as minister to China was decided upon
shortly after the 4th of March, it is now be-
ieved that the President has reconsidered
and will give him some other place. He
has been advised that a man of legal ex-
perience and thorough knowledge of the
law should be sent to China. because of the
irritation between the two countries. and
the claims for damages that are constantly
growing out of the riots here and on the
other side of the Pacific. This point was
brought to his attention by the recent riot
at Chin-Kiang. where the American con-
aulate was Quilted and the consul barely
escaped with his life. While this is stand

Gently made by an old hunter down
there is kept up the supply will not last
long. The hunter in question enticed a
flock of turkeys into q lonely place in
the woods by scattering corn on the
ground. This operation was performed
several days in succession, until nine
teen nice fat birds formed the habit Of
resorting to the place for their daily
breakfast. He then laid for them, and
one morning fired into the flock, killing
eighteen outright at one shot. The
nineteenth escaped with broken wing.
His neighbors toasted on turkeys for O
week.
Snakes also abound in that region, and
some curious specimens are met with.
The chicken snake is one of them. His
habits are very peculiar. His occupa-
ton is mainly to rob the nests of inno-
cent barnyard fowls, and swallows eggs
for nourishment. 1t is difficult for
even snake to digest an egg in it's
natural shape, and this serpent resorts
to novel expedient to assist him to
perform this useful operation. After
swallowing number of eggs he climbs
into the branches OF tree, or crawls to
the top rail of neighboring fence and
falls Off in order to break them. An
other snake inhabiting that section, it
is claimed, Will swim across a river to
bite anyone it may suspect is on the
opposite side.

A Puzzled Celt.
From Harper's Magazine.

A class in San Francisco art school
was recently startled by the sudden
appearance IN it's midst of dilapidated
Irishman, who, with tears in his eyes,
begged for enough money to get him a
"bite." The first Impulse of the pre-
siding genius was to request him to
move on, but his picturesque qualities
suggested that he be given chance to
earn his supper by sitting as a model.

A Dakota Heroine.

Miss Lizzie Duffield, who has spent
the past six years in South Dakota, was
among the first young ladies to brave
the hardships of claim life and take up
land in Dakota. and she is now the for
tunate owner of 800 acres of excellent
farm land, half of which is short dis
lance from Harold, Hyde County. The
other quarter section is near the thriv-
ing town of Aulkton, and all Of which
will certainly be valuable property in
time. All the adventures of life, far out
upon the prairie, with the nearest
neighbor mile and half distant, the
perils in storm and flood and the dang
er of living alone for weeks at time,
have been undergone. She was one of
those brave and resolute Dakota school
teachers who, with few pupils under
her care, encountered the awful storm
of January, 1888. During the long night
which followed the dreadful blizzard,
with scant fuel, she kept herself and the
children from freezing only by the ut
most exertion until all were rescued
from their fearful situation at o'clock
the next morning. Miss DuffieId has
gained an enviable reputation as a

A COUPLE of young men living at
Wellsville, Mo-, were rivals for the hand
of one of the fair Wellsville daughters.
They were inclined to settle the matter

reminding them that duels were un-
lawful and the victor would be a fugi-

men accepted her proposition, and she
umpired the race and walked off the

From the New York Evening Sun.
To have ones own way under all
circumstances was part of the neces-
sary training of the slaveholding class
of the South. 1t was born in them and
bred in them. They breathed it and
sucked it. 1t was part of the social at
mosphere. 1t was their environment.
1t gave birth to the Bufords and the
McDows, and especially to the courts
and juries before whom they were
tried. 1t nurtured men of high spirit,
excellent duellists, splendid soldiers,
dare-devils in war. But it was an at
mosphere of savagery which one gen.
Grafton of nonslave-holding has not
been able to clarity or Christianize.

Telegraphing on the Ground.
From Scribner's Magazine

From Scribners Magazine.
Edison, who has astonisted the world
already by his wonderful inventions,
seems to have in store greater wonder
than ever.
Some years ago there was hint from
him that earth currents might be used
Tor the purposes of telegraphy. Since
then be seems actually to have accom-
pushed something in that line as will
be seen from this extract of Mr.. Buck
lngham's article in Scribner's Maya
zine:
THE inductiVe method of trans
mission employed in train telegraphy
has already been suggested as one way
of telegraphing over considerable
distances without the aid of wire. 1t
Is said that Edison has succeeded in OBJ
tanning ineligible signals between ap-
paratus placed upon masts $40 feet
apart, and it is now confidently assert
ed that messages may be telegraphed
from wire along the Hudson River to
steamers passing between New York
and Albany. 1t is claimed by J.. j.
Phelps that by employing receiving
coll consisting OF wire wound several
times around the steamer, one of the
early forms employed in the train tele-
graph, no difficulty would be expert
enced In communicating with boats
running within 500 feet of the shore :;
and that such communication would be
possible even over a distance of 1000
leet. Obviously, by this method, ships
not far apart may be placed in COM
munication.
"Telegraphing between points not
connected by line is also accomplished
by diffusion. If an electrical current is
sent over telegraph line connected
with the earth at both extremities, it
will run through the earth from one ex-
tremity to the other. In returning, the
current will not follow a narrow straight
line, but will be diffused; and back by
way of distant parallel wire. Two
wires, one along the shore of the Isle OF
Wight, and the other along the shore of
the channel, in Hampshire, were thus
employed; and, although the width of
the channel is six miles at one end, and
one and one-fourth miles at the other,
harmonic signals like those used in the
train telegraph, sent on one wire, were
distinctly reproduced upon the other,
Geographic communications across the
channel being thereby established.
Prof. A. 6. Bell succeeded in telegraph
ing in this manner more than a mile
between boats on the Potomac river !.

Belgium Hatless Monarch.
From the London Court Journal.


Leopold, King of the Belgians. is a
sworn foe of tobacco and an ardent sup
porter of the Belgian Anti-tobacco
League. He is, as well, man OF Simple
and severe way of lie." He rises early,
breakfasts sparingly, and "a rare
thing on the Continent-takes his morn
ing tub with all an Englishman's favor.
His wide sympathies embrace vege-
tarianism in their scope, and his most
notable passion, perhaps, is for ding
about without hat. Whenever the
weather is suitable, King Leopold goes
abroad in his garden as hatless as
Adam, exulting in his freedom from
the conventionality Of headpiece.
He has some strange craze about the
winds action on the brain, and he puts
his craze in practice whenever possible.
In fact, eccentricity of the intelligent
kind marked him for her own. He is a
linguist of rare acquisitions and is al
ways deep in the study OF some new
language or other. Music is one of his
diversions, but the sister art Of painting
finds in him an appre ciative and en-
thusiastic amateur. His face is strong
and intelligent, without being hand
some, and beard of appropriately regal
length sweeps his chest.
