1t Was Signed by the President Dec. &c, but
Has Not Yet Reached Columbus.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The warrant for
the pardon of Benjamin Z. Hopkins, of the
Fidelity National Bank, was still at the
Department of State at o'clock to-day. 1t
was said there that it would be sent to the
Attorney general this afternoon for trans
mission to the warden at the prison where
he is confined. The President granted the
application for pardon in this case Dec. 81,
and the Encouragement Immediately
made requisitiOn on the Secretary of State
for warrant. This document was pre-
pared at the Department of State, and
sent to the President on the 26th
for his signature. He signed
1T that evening, and it was returned to the
State Department the following morning.
1t then needed only the signature of the
Secretary of State and the seal of the United
States to be complete document. 1t ap-
pears however, that these necessary for
malities were not performed until to-day.
There is no explanation for the apparent
delay other than the one that the papers
must have been overlooked. 1t is said at
the Department of Justice that the warrant
will be mailed to the proper officer immedi-
ately upon its receipt from the State De-
partment.
The warrant for the pardon of Hopkins
was mailed TO the warden of Ohio Peniten-
tiary, at Columbus, at 3 o'clock this after
noon. Accompanying 1T was an order for
Hopkins 5 Immediate release.

PRESERVATION OF BATTLE-FIELDs.
Proposed Appropriation for Marking His

A Proposed Appropriation for Marking His
toric Spots in Indiana and Ohio.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The Secretary OF
War has sent to Congress the estimates of
General o. VI. Poe, of the army, for proper
improvements to mark and protect the
works, forts and battle-felds in Indiana
and Ohio where General VIM. Henry Har-
rison won his victories against the Indians
in the early settlement of those Territories.
In General Poe's report this reference is
made to Fort Wayne. now the fourishing
capital of Allen county. "a considerable
portion of the site of old Fort Wayne be-
longs to the city of Fort Wayne, the remain
der being now occupied by the New York,
Chicago & st. Louis railroad as successors
to the old Wabash g. Erie canal. Except
the well, no trace of the fort now exists,
and the part of the site not occupied by the
railroad OF by city streets is reduced to a
small triangle, as shown by the map. A
patriotic and public spirited citizen has in
closed the triangle by a neat iron fence and
erected flagstaff within 1T, but. so far as
can learn, either by observation or IN
quiry, the city, as corporation, has done
nothing toward marking or preserving the
site. Any monument placed here should be
similar to such as may be selected for Fort
Defiance and Fort Miami. It's cost would
be about $1,000" An appropriation OF &c.,
500 is asked for. to include. besides work at
Fort Wayne, improvements on the follow
ing batt1e-fields in Ohio: Put-In-Bay, Fort
Industry. Fort Miami, Fort Meigs, the bat
tle-feld of Fallen Timber and Fort De-
fiance.

They Have Not Held, and Will Not Hold,
Conference Concerning Annninfments

They Have Not Held, and Will Not Hold, a
Conference Concerning Appointments.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-There is no truth
in the statement, published throughout In
diana by Democratic newspapers, that a
conference had. been held by Messrs
Browne, Owen and Cheadle, the three Re-
publican members-elect to the Fiffy-frst
Congress, at which it was agreed to join
hands in the control of the offices in the
districts Of the State which will, after this
session, be represented by Democrats. 1t
will be the policy of these gentlemen to
leave the offices, so far as they have any
voice in the matter, to the Republicans
interested directly, and to recognize the
recommendations of the defeated Repub-
Hcan candidates for Congress at the last
election as being entitled to the same con
slderatiOn they would be if they had been
elected. Mr.. Owen is discOuraging the cir
culatiOn of petitions for office in his dis
trict. as agitation only excites strife. which
often necessarily results in the selection of
men who have never made application for
office. The three Republican members
from Indiana in the next House will work
tremendously in every instance, as they
have in the past.

THE SENATE TARIFF BILL.

Changes In the Lumber Schedule-Possible
Action of Protection Democrats.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Republican men,
bers of the Senate committee ON finance,
who have been in conference upon the
tariff bill for several days, have reached
a conclusion en- several of the most i'm
portant points in controversy, but have
several others still to be settled. The
duty ON dressed lumber, which is now So a
thousand feet, will undoubtedly be fixed
at s1.25. Mr.. Allison, representing his own
views, which are shared by all the Sen
ators from the prairie States, has been trying
to secure reduction to 81 thousand feet,
and the Senators from the lumber
States-Maine, Michigan and Wisconsin
have been willing TO concede 80 cents,
but it has now been agreed to split the diff
ference and make the duty S1.25, which is
a reduction of 70 cents thousand.
The Senators from the agricultural States
in the West, where the beet and sorghum
sugar industry is becoming one of impor-
lance, have been induced to agree to a re-
duction of the duty on sugar, provided a
bounty of 1 cent pound is paid upon all
sugar, whether from cane beet or sorghum,
produced in the United States.
The duty on barbed wire will not be re-
duced, although strong effort has been
made by the representatives of the prairie
States to secure it. The duty on structural
iron, which is now IL cents pound, will
be reduced to s or 9 mills a pound. and the
duty on steel nails will be fixed at S14 a ton.
The protection Democrats in the House
will oppose the reference of the Senate SUBJ
stitute for the Mills bill to the committee
on ways and means when it reaches the
House. Representative SOwden said, to-day
that when the substitute is delivered to the
House, and made motion to refer it to the
committee on ways and MEANS about TWEEN
ty Democrats would jump up and object
demanding that it be referred to the COM
mittee of the whole for consideration. If
this can be done, the bill will have an ex-
cellent chance to pass the House, and it can
be done if there are twenty Democrats, as
Sowden claims, who viii! vote with the Re-
publicans to consider the bill without refer
, ence to the committee on ways and means.

thinks the bill will pass the Senate without
any trouble, and it is probable the Presi--

that the bill seems TO be aimed directly at
the large and powerful body of pension
lawyers whose headquarters are here, and
the amendment added by Mr.. Peters I'M
questionably discriminates against Wash

cants for increase who live here. 1t is,
perhaps, natural therefore, that pension
agents here will fight the passage of the
bill in the Senate.
