INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 2s.-This has been
a rather uneventful day, politically. Sem
ator Allison remained the guest of Gen.
Harrison last night and departed for
Washington this afternoon. Several cor
respondents chatted with Allison at the
depot, bat he had little to say. Upon
being told that he had been booked by
some for the state department instead of
the treasury, he laughed heartily and said:
That is very good" He stated to a
gentleman that within tAe next five days
some important replies would be received
by the president elect and intimated that
a number OF cabinet appointments would
Very recently be made. He is also SAID to
have let slip, while converslng hastily
with a well known local gentleman, some
expression which had the effect of i'm
pressing a doubt on the %latter's mild as to
the certainty of Allison having accepted a
treasury portfolio.
Apropos of the state department the.
DRY, one of the most distinguished Re-
publicans in Indiana in conversation said
1t was finally settled that Warner Miller
was to have a seat in the cabinet, but he
would not specify the place.
Elk Governor John l.. Routt of Colora-
do passed through the city yesterday but
did not stop over to pay his respects to
the president elect. lie was met at the
depot hv Col. New and they conferred I'M
til the train left. Gov. RoGtt's name has
been mentioned as n candidate for the in

TO BE LET LOOSE.
The Sentence of ]. D. Fish
COMMITTED by the President.
He Will be Released from
Prison in May.
Serious Accident on Board the
Steamer Republic.
Executive Clemeucy.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The president
has committed the sentence OF James d.
Fish, formerly president of the Marine
National bank of New York City. who
was convicted in April, 1885, of ~misapply-
ing the funds of that bank and sentenced
June q, 1885, to ten years imprisonment
in the state prison at Auburn, n. Y,
upon the first count of the Indictment
with the statement that Judgment for a
like punishment will be entered upon con-
v%iction had under ten other counts OF the
indictment. The presidents endorsement
of this case-Is as follows:
This convict is 60 years of age. Prior
to his conviction he was trusted and re-
sDected by all who knew him and all his
dealings and Intercourse with his fellow
men, both in business and social life, had
been such as to secure their confidence
and esteem. In the view | take of the
application for his pardon there is no occa-
sion to refer to the nature OF his offense
nor to comment upon the evidence upon
which his conviction rests further than to
suggest that this Is a case in which the
actual n wilful intent to detraud depend
upon influences somewhat uncertain. |
have rarely, If ever, seen a petition for
executive clemency signed so numerously
as the one presented in this case by citi-
ZEN of great respect ,bility and business
standing.
"1he prisoner since his convection hes
aided the administration OF the criminal
law by giving valuable testimony upon the
trial OF another offender. He has endur-
ed his imprisonment thus far with forti
tude and resignation, and has been scrup
ulously obedient to all the prison rules
and relations. Medical proof produced
before me fully establishes the fact that
with advanced age and serious disabilities
and by reason of his confinement he is
physically and mentally fast failing, and |
am satisfied that he will not survive his
Imprisonment if much longer extended.
Every object sought to be obtained by the
punishment of crime will be accomplished.
in my opinion, by a Communication OF the
convict's sentence to Imprisonment of a
term of five years and six months, with
the allowance of deductions for good con
duct. Such communication is therefore
granted"

%Boulanger's Election.

PARIS, Jan. 2S.-In consequence OF the
victory Of Boulanger the ministry rendered
their resignation this morning, but the
president declined to accept them.
Republican journals, while admitting
the election of Boulanger is a serious re-
verse, declare that it is not sufficient Ia
discourage the party, which must unite
more closely against threatened Caesarism.
Monarchist papers assert that the result
Of the election is the condemnation of the
parliamentary republic and presages its
downfall Boulangist organs emphatically
declare the election is a blow to the gov.
eminent.
Boulanger has announced his intention
to attend the session of the chamber
Thursday. The chamber to-day passed a
credit of AZ, 600, 900 francs to be expended
in improving military posts.
BERLIN, Jan. 2S.-The newspapers
here of all shades Of political opinion re-
gard the success of Gen. Boulanger as an
evil augury for the French republic.
The North German Gazette says: THE
regime of the parliamentary republic has
suffered a severe reverse in its own CAPT
tol. The defeat of the government will
probably lead to all sorts of surprises.
The Post says: The result OF the cleo
ton is proof that France is heartily sick
of the republic"
The VoUS Zeitumg says: 1t was not
Boulanger alone that was victorious, but
also his programme to establish a dictator
ship and emphasize the fact that he is a
man Tor a league of patriots; hat his
glorious sword is to rend the peace of
frankfort and win back Alsace Lorraine.
The French mean once more to be a grand
nation. That is the significance of
Bouianger's success for Germany.
The EoLks Zeitng recalls the warning
OF the Repubtique Frdncdise AN EN-.
peror if you wish for one," and says:
Paris responds yes. we do wish for
one."
VIENNA, Jan. 28.-The Political Cor
respondence, referring to Boulanger's vic
tory, says: In diplomatic circles here
the election is regarded as a sure symptom
of a coming change of the system in the
government of France. No immediate
danger is feared as regards international
complications, as it is believed that in
ternal dissensions will prevent external
entanglements."
The Weiner Td9bldt saws: THE re-
turn of France to a programme of genera
ton is hardly possible. The moderate el
ements will soon disappear from the scene
and wild revolutionaries will hold the field.
The danger OF war between France and
Germany has now become real.h

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 2S.-Saturday
