Herr Wabner Surprised at His knowledge
of German Postal Telegraphy.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-Herr Wabner,
the distinguished official of the German
postal service, now here to examine the
operations of the American postal system,
hada long talk with Postmaster-general
W.tL-niaker before that gentleman went to
take part in the Log College celebration.
Herr Wabner states that he was particu-
larly struck by the acuteness, intelligence
and comprehension exhibited by the Post
master-ge general in his questions concerning
the German postal telegraphy. While he
expected to find at the head of the United
States postal service man of ability, he
did not suppose that political appointee
who had been in Office but four or five
months would be able, as Mr.. Wanamaker
evidently is. to thoroughly digest all the
features and theories of good postal service.
"In our country" said Herr Wabner, "a
man to hold position in the public service
equivalent to that held by the Postmaster
general of the United States has to pass
through long term of study and practical
experience, at every stage of which he is
required to pass thorough examination
before he can be advanced a step. Mr..
Wanamaker Is as thoroughly well acquaint-
ed with postoffice matters as any of our of
ficials who have passed their whole lives in
our postal service. will no longer doubt
the adaptability of the American to any
emergepcy."

HUNG 1000 FEET IN THE AIR.
A Lad at Portland, Ore, Involuntarily Takes
Thrilling Balloon Trip.

PORTLAND. Ore. Sept. s.-A very exciting
incident occurred here this evening. Prof.
P. H. Redmond, an aeronaut, was to make
an ascension this evening in hot-air
balloon. Just as the large air-ship
sailed away skyward, q lad aged twelve
years. named Eddie Hill. became entangled
in the ropes attached to the trapeze:. His
neck got caught in half moose and the
desperately to the ropes with bq4h hands,
and by winding them around 10th arms
managed to save himself from falling, and
from choking to death. The balloon rose
over 1000 feet and drifted several miles
away to the southeast, finally coming
down as light as feather, landing the
lad without a scratch. The boy was
frightened nearly to death, but soon recov-
cred after finding himself safely on earth.
Professor Redmund did not go up at all, for
if he had his weight would have choked
the boy to death. When he saw how the
lad was caught he let go the ropes and re-
manned on the ground. Great excitement
prevailed during the time the balloon was
in the air.

Figuring on the Republican Majority-Can-
didates for the Various Places.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-President Harri-
sons proclamation admitting the four new
States to the Union is not expected before
November. The Republicans confidently
expect to elect the Legislatures in three of
the four States. and believe they have a
good chance of success in the fourth Mon
tana. They rely upon securing all of the
five members of the lower house of Con-
gress. This will give the Republicans a
majority in the House of at least six, under
the very worst condition Of circumstances,
while it may be increased to eight or nine,
not considering the result of contested
elections.
The Democratic employees in the House
are relying upon deadlock in the organi-
cation which will carry them in their posi-
tions over to q late day in January, and if
it was not for the augmentation of the Re-
publican majority by the admission of new
States they believe they would continue to
hold their places until next spring. while
many of them. on account of the cioseness
of the Republican majority and the possi-
bility of compromises in the organization
of the House, would fight to keep con-
tinuous hold on their places.
The candidates for the leading positions
under the new organization are Edward

result from holding the fine and cost over him,
and therefore, I join the above petition, hoping
1t will receive favorable consideration.
SOLOMON CLAYPOoL-
It will be seen from Mr.. Coopers letter
that he was acting on Coy's request, and as
Mr.. Cooper is good Democrat, and claims
sole responsibility for the petition, it is
hard to see just where the Republican
scheming and inception comes in. The let
ter was dated April 10, 1889. and if similar
petition went to the Cleveland officials it
is not known, or at least there is no record
of it to be found.
The petition was referred to the Attorney
general. who recommended that it be
granted, upon the ground that Coy had no
property from which the fine and costs
could be collected. Hesuggested, however.
that inquiry be made upon this point before
action was taken, whereupon the private
secretary telegraphed Mr.. Cooper and re-
ceived the following in response:

In view OF the representation, which am sat

out OF which the fine and costs can be collected,
do hereby remit so much only of the sentence
as requires the payment of q fine and costs.
BENZ. HARRISON.
The indorsement distinctly RENTS only so
much of the sentence as relates to fine and
costs. Coy,was not pardoned. He was re-
leased from paying something he had not
the money to do. The movement in his be-
half was engineered by Democrat, and at
his solicitation the petition was signed by
prominent citizens of indianapolis, includ-
ing members of the Committee of One Hun
dred. 1t was indorsed by the assistant
district attorney. who prosecuted Coy, and
who is also a Democrat. This is the whole
story in nutshell. and completely refutes
the charges that Coy was pardoned for his
offense, and that the scheme was of Repub-
ican origin.
