Apparently Well-Grounded Rumor that He
Has Declined the Treasury Secretaryship.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WAsHIN GToN, Jan. 31.-When Senator
Allison returned to the Senate after his
visit to the President-elect at Indianapolis.
it was reported with good show of au-
thority that he had been proffered,
and had accepted, the Treasury
portfolio at General Harrison's hands.
So far as the first section of the
rumor goes, it has been confirmed beyond
question, by the admissions of some of the
distinguished Iowans confidential friends
in the Senate, but the second section of it.
regarding his acceptance of the trust, was
a little premature. From member of the
Senate who stands close to Mr.. Allison it is
learned tonight that he has declined
the offer. When he left Indianapolis
he was inclined to accept. but after
more mature reflection his first Judgment
has been reversed, and he tonight wrote
and forwarded his declination. There were
many considerations actuating him in this
step, which, it is understood, will be fully
appreciated by General Harrison. but which
are not publicly talked about by Senator
Allison. There can be little doubt of the
truth of this report, as it comes upon excel
lent authOrity.

Opinion of Senator Sabin.

To the Western Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. Ex-senator Sabin, of Min
nesota, left Chicago suddenly tonight for
Indianapolis. When he arrived here this
afternoon he expected to remain several
days. During the afternoon and evening
he was busy with number of callers, and
later determined to 60 Immediately to In
dianapolis. He departed at midnight.
Senator Sabin d1sclaimed being a candidate
for Cabinet position: NO, not since my
defeat for the Senate" was the way he put
it, neither for the Cabinet nor any other
office" He was asked if he had been in
vited to Indianapolis for conference with
the President-elect, but he interrupted the
question by saying it was not falr to cate
ehise :, him too closely. Referring
to the Cabinet, he said: "Mr.
Blaine's friends will never consent
to his accepting anything but first
place, which, for many reasons, must neces-
sarily be offered him. think it will be,
and 1 think he will accept. do not think
Senator Allison can be induced to accept
portfolio position"
Mr.. Sabin gave no reason for his decided
expression regarding Allison other than the
opinion that the IOwan has many things to
sacrifice by such a move. Mr.. Sabin spoke
warmly of Warner Miller's merits, and had
a good word for Alger.

Confirmation of the RumOr.

To the Western Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S1-A prominent pub
lie man, who is in apositlon to speak know
ingly, said tonight: Senator Allison to-
day communicated to his near friends that
he had written to the President-elect
peremptorily declining the appointment of
Secretary of the Treasury. There is no doubt
of the accuracy of this. 1t was
very generally believed here, for the
past ten days, that he would
accept, and it is known that he discussed
the matter with close friends as being set
tied in this way. He had frequently ex-
pressed, In confidential manner, his de-
sire to be in the Treasury Department to
carry out some views he had, especially as
to inducing England to agree to remone-
tiZatiOn of silver. He also had de-
sire to show his administrative abil-
ity. The first of this week it was
felt by his near friends that there was good
authority for saying that he would accept,
but when he returned from Indianapolis his
fellow Republicans united in begging him
not to leave the Senate, and not to throw
aside his chances for the presidency in 1892.
Only two Republican Senators-on of them
Senator who thinks he would
succeed him as chairman of the
appropriations committeeman the other
succeed him in another committee, have at
any time advised him to accept. All the
others, especially the strong ones-Ed-
munds, HOar, Sherman, Wilson, and all the
stronger men-prOtested against it, and
after his return 1abored with him constant
ly to induce him to decline, and to-day
he decided to follow their advice and
by to-mOrrOw's mail General Harrison will
have the letter of positive declination, and
it is felt that the Senator cannot again be
induced to waver in his resolution.
1T may now be accepted as true that Iowa
will have no member of the Cabinet. Mr..
Clarkson has been known TO have been out
of the question for several weeks by his own
wish, and his name has been the only
one from Iowa really discussed besides
Allison's. Mr.. KassOn had an ambition to
be Secretary of State, and he so stated to
members of the Iowa delegation, but as
Mr. Blaine was two weeks ago rendered
and ten days ago accepted that position,
there is no chance for Iowa in the Cabinet.
This is something to be regretted, and evil
IDENTIFY something that could have been
avoided, but in some way things went
wrong. Iowa had Cabinet officer under
Lincoln and Grant both times; also, under
Hayes, Garfield and Arthur. But under
Harrison, for whom it has done more than
for any of the others, it is TO be without
representation"

sale Of a nlnaoo God.

Mesrs. Phillips, Son Sc Neale, Of New Bond
street, London, says The Times, sold by auc-
ton large collection Of Burmese, Indian
and Japanese curiosities, the property of o
gentleman who formerly occupied an official
position In India for many years. The great
attraction at the sale was s'the Hindoo Lin
gam god,n consisting of chrysoberyl cats
eye fixed in topaz and mounted In pyra-
nidal base studded with diamonds and pre-
cious stones. This curious relic stood two and
one-fourth inches In height. 1t was preserved
for more than a thousand years In an ancient
temple at Delhi, where acts OF devotion were
paid before it by women anxious to have
children.
The base is Of solid gold, and around it are
set nine gems or charms, a diamond, ruby,
sapphire, chrysoberyl cats eye, coral, pearl,
hyacinthine garnet, yellow sapphire and
emerald. The gems are all rudely carved,
and would, no doubt, by more scientific cut
ting, be greatly improved In value. Round
the apex Of this gold pyramid is p1inth set
with diamonds. On the apex Is o topaz
1915 inches in length and GIG Of an inch
In depth, shaped like horseshoe; in the CEN
ter of the horseshoe the great chrysoberyl
cats eye stands upright. This Is 1916 Of
an inch In height, and dark brown color and
shaped like pear.
An extremely mobile opalescent lghf
crosses the length Of the stone in an obliqut
direction. When Bad Shah Bahador Shah
the last king of Delhi, was captured and
exiled to the Andainan isles, bis queen
secreted this gem, and 1t was never seer
again until, being distressed during the
mutiny, she sold It to the present owner. The
gem was finally knocked down at 42, 450 tc

THE SALOON STATESMEN.

Considering the nature ee mo opposition
1t is not surprising that the representa-
tives Of the brewers and saloon Keepers
In the Legislature haze been ten weeks
forcing to passage The bill intended to en-
large the traffic in drinks. The contest
has not been with the Republican minor
ity. The Democracy from the beginning
have had a safe majority. If the Repnb-
licans in the two Houses were alone TO be
vanquished, the war would have been a
short aud merry one. There were other
agencies to overcome; the impalpable
force of public sentiment was the power
that created dismay in the ranks of the
fuglemen of King Gambrinus. It was a
contest with popular conscience. For the
time the saloon has triumphed; public
conscience is humbled.
The proceedings of the ten weeks of the
One Hundred and Thirteenth Legislature
will be unique in the history Of the State.
Such record of duplicity, such an ex
hibition of pitiable faltering, such show
of naggipg, threatening and bnlldozing
finds no parallel in the history of New
Jersey lawmaking. The final act the
passage of the Werts bill, is of itself evil
dence of the betrayal of whole commnni-
ties by men who, through party discipline,
have violated every understood principle
of representation. These men are mis-
representatives; they are worse.
With an acute sense of their own double
dealing, many of the saloon statesmen set
up for themselves new standard of
virtue. They compromised with their
better judgments by insisting upon points
of distinction in the proposed law, which
they thought would wipe out local option
and would keep out the saloon at the same
time. They were for the liquor traffic
because the party lash compelled them to
be for 1t; they were against the saloon
traffic because their understood compact
with the people, of whose sentiments they
had been made the custodians, was
against 1t. They tried to harmonize these
two notions--not to satisfy their consti-
tuents, but to conciliate the saloon power.
They delivered themselves and their con-
stituents into the hands of the enemy.
They were traitors to tho cause that
honored them, Their desert should be
commensurate with their offense. They
are beyond tho pale Of public confidence.
What has been done by the Legislature
to satisfy the behest of the brewers and
saloons has been miserably done. The
Werts bill, with the Baker amendment, 10
as serious blow at the saloon interests
as local option could be in strong temper
ance localities. II the saloon statesmen
have counted on manipulating the courts,
Common Councils, Excise Boards and
Townships Committees, that may be
invested with the duty of fixing license
fees, then they have offered an aifront to
society. When public men tempofize
with the sense Of pnhlia-duAy, they wrAts
their guilt in their acts. The Vert
Liquor bill is simply a proclamation 0
the Democratic majority's subservienc.
to the liquor power.-Nssoark Erenin

In America, no matter what their foreign
parentage, are usually decided little Ameri-

which Ia the best possible thing for all
parties concerned.

day seated In the BARRIERS chair, while the
knight Of the scissors was waving his weap-

the boy answered In English, whereupon ths
