INDIANA KICKERS.

John b. EIam Thinks Their Power for Harm
Is Somewhat Limited.
Washington Post.
This is my first visit to Washington
since General Harrison's election" said Mr..
Elan ~lastevening. when asked to make some
observations regarding his appearance at
the national capital at this particular
time. Il came here to take some depo-
sitions, and may remain here until Tuesday
next"
"You will see the President while here,"
II expect to-. We are on sufficiently cor
dial terms TO meet pleasantly, and rs he
will be here tomorrow, the chances are we
will see each other"
"How about those Indiana kickers who
are cunning for the Presidentf"
"Idon't think they'll bring down very
much game. 1t Is more dust and noise than
anything else. Every President has had
the same experience with disappointed
aspirants from his own State. Ii | recol-
lect there was n good deal of bowling
around Buffalo about this time four years
ago. At the same time | think President
Harrison has had more than his share of it.
The reason is hat Indiana has been a close
State politically for twenty-five years.
There have been hundreds of Republicans
who have made party sacrifices that de-
serve reward, but there are thirty-seven
other States in the Union. and the Presi-
dent could not give everything SO Indiana,
even if the applicants had been through
the political tights along with him, and felt
that they were comrades as well as friends.
Some who were recognized did not get just
what they expected. Indiana is full of
men whom / might say are highly educated
In politics. They want the full measure of
reward for what they do in politics. Some
of them are bad men. and they are in both
parties. Take all these things into consid-
GRAFTON, and you will see that there Is no
more grumbling than could be naturally
expected. The party organization has not
been weakened by the malcontents."

TO ENLARGE THE WHITE HOUSE.

Senator Cameron VIII Introduce q Bill to
Add Wings to the Historic Structure.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. ia bill to provide
for the extension of the White House. with
a view to giving the family of the Presi-
dent more room for domestic purposes, will
probably be introduced by Senator Cam
eron this winter. At least he has signified
his intention to do so unless somebody has
a bill to propose that may be more desirable
than his OWL on the subject. Senator Cam
ron's idea for an improvement is a gener-
al one. He has nothing to offer in the
way of details. His proposition is
to extend the executive mansion
by wings built to the east and
west. much in the same manner that the
Capitol building was enlarged by the addi-
ton of the Senate and House wings; The
White House. as its stands, is clothed with
est to permit of its demolition or N radi-
cal alterations lat would destroy tho
original. 1t has been the home of every
President, except Washington. and the
cornerstone was laid by him.. Senator
Cameron's idea is to leave it as it is and
increase the accommodations by the extern
sions stated. He wants the plan for the
wing to be used by the family to be designed
according to the ideas of Mrs. Harrison. AS
a woman, with experience in keeping house
under difficulties. she will, he thinks, know
what is needed better than q man.

Texas, now being built at Norfolk, it would
seem that the department. intends TO go
ahead with the work. Notwithstanding re-
peated criticisms and reports of serious de-
fects in the original designs; and assertions
that the hull of the vessel would nave 10
be heightened in order TO give greater dis
placement. OF else the ship would not float
when launched. Assistant Naval Con-
structor Bowles. who is In charge OF the
ship, submitted a long report TO secretary
went out of office. claiming that with some
sIipht notifications the ship would be
all right. The ex-Secretary evidently
agreed with him. for an order was made
tary Tracy came into Office he wanted full
er information before allowing the work to
proceed. Constructor Bowles came to
Washington and had a long interview with
the Secretary, and went back to Norfolk
with the assurance. it is said. that the work
should continue. In the meantime the
Bureau of Construction and Repairs had
been carefully going over the original
plans and those submitted by Constructor
Bowles- 1t is understood that the report of
Chief Naval Constructor Wilson, which is
quite voluminous, goes into the details
with great exactness, and gives a true and
correct criticism of the ship as
originally planned. and of her ability to
float if built upon those lines. Naval Con-
structor Wilson is a practical ship-builder.
and his views undoubtedly will have great
weight with Secretary Tracy. The gossip
in official circles is that Chief Constructor
Wilson has handled the report of Mr.;
Bowles with great severity. and pointed
out. b. facts and figures, the utter impOssi-
bility of constructing the ship upon such
plans. The proposals for the steel plates
for the ship would naturally suggest that
the ship would be finished upon the orig
inal plans. but those in a position to know
say that the few tons of plates advertised
for would be but n drop in the bucket when
compared to the changes that are soon TO

WAS THE MAIL ROBBED?
Valuable Pouch Said to Have Been Rifled at
Terre Eaute-COnfirmatiOn and Denial.

ST. LOUIS. Aug. 1S.-It is claimed here
that the fast mail train which arrived in
st. Louis last night, over the Vandalia,
was robbed at Terre Haute. Ind. while
the mail clerks and train hands
were at supper. 1t is said that one
pouch. containing registered letters, was
taken. The pouch was supposed to con-
tain about $4,000. Postmaster William
Hyde was seen at his home late to-
night. He knew of the robbery, but said
that the only information he had received
from Terre Haute was that there had been
one registered pouch stolen from the mail
car, and that it had been found an hour
after the train had passed lying by
the side of the track, cut Ope and
rif1ed of its contents. The pouch was
a through one from Albany, n. Y. to st.
Louis. Its contents could not be -ascer-
tanned, but they were presumably letters
bearing, for the most part, remittances for
cattle transactions, n in this case they
would probably contain large sums of
money.
The Terre Haute Express telegraphs from
that city, that the pouch was simply
knocked of the car by accident, and was
recovered unhurt.

DIR. Hammond Gives His Views About the

DIR. Hammond Gives His Views About the
Brown-Sequard elixir"
Special TO the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-Dr. Hammond,
in an interview on the use of the so-called
'elixir of life" says: Judging from the
reports in the newspapers of the expert
ments with the BrOwn-Sequard fluid they
have been conducted in an extremely un-
scientific and illogical The reports
state hat the fluid has been sterilized by
the doctors using it. They might as we'll
boil it. so far as the process effects It's prop
critics. 1t is made absolutely dead and use
less by being sterilized. Again, DR.. Brown
Sequard took fifteen injections, extending
over more han a month before he ventured
a report of its effect upon him. There was
no immediate effect from it. Having no
elixir to-day. l used water. One man. who
was rheumatic, said he felt like a new man.
This shows the folly of jumping at conclu-
sions." The fluid two or three hours old,
DR.. Hammond thinks. would not be danger

putrid 1T would be dangerous.

Suing for Lost Estates.

LAPoRTE, Aug. 1s.-A hubbub of excite
ment has been raised in real estate circles
by the recent filing of suits in several diff
ferent places for the recovery, by George
w. Ewing, of Fort Wayne, of landed es-
tates, rights to which have fallen to him by
inheritance. and of which others have held
undisputed possession for years. The lands
are worth thousands upon thousands of
dollars. These suits have been filed in
Fort Wayne, Warsaw, Columbia City, LO-
ganspOrt, Huntington, Albion, Crown
Point, Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis. st.
Louis and many other places. and a mOder-
ate estimate of the value of the land and
improvements involved is $40, 100000, which,
when interest is added. will amount to an
immense sum-. During the past week
agents of Ewing have been in this county,
and AS a result actions will be commenced
in the Circuit Court for the recovery of
several thousand acres of land in the
southern part of this county. Ewing is
only twenty-three years old. and claims to
have inherited this vast estate from mem
bers of his family. Eminent legal talent
has been employed.
