They Are Trine Discouraged, but VIII
Mako Another Attack on the President.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-The Illinois
delegation captured nothing but the Dan
ish mission in the first charge, but they are
going to make another, and are girding
themselves for the struggle. If they don't
get something better, then they will be-
lieve their failure is due to the fact that
illinois supported Gresham at the Chicago
convention. They are asserting this with
some positiveness now, but Cullom warns
them to hold their tongues and try again.
Clark Carr is knocked out for First Assist
ant Postmaster, General Mathews for Com
missioner of Internal Revenue and Martin
for Commissioner of Pensions. These were
the big places that Illinois was after, and
they have all gone to other States. 1t is
appointed Director of the Mint, and ex-
Representative Thomas may get one of the
places in the treasury as Auditor OF Comp
troller. and Bell may pull through
for supervising architect, but there
is no patronage in any Of these Offices, and
they get them or not. The delegation is
going to make another effort for Governor
Shuman, who is heartbroken over his fail
ure to get the Swiss mission. and will ask
the Belgian mission. or Portugal, OF the
Netherlands, all.of which pay more salary
and rank higher than the place the editor
of the Chicago Journal asked for. Ex-Rep-
resentative Jehu Baker is after the Vene-
zuela mission again, the same place he had
under the administrations of Hayes and
Arthur and Dr.. Logan is looking fondly to-
ward Brazil, but it is not thought either
has much chance of appointment.

IMPRISONED IN A MINE.
Six Miners Caught in Subterranean Trap
Vigorous Steps for Their Release.

SHAMoKIN. Pa, March 14.-Patrick Leon
ard, Michael Buggy, Peter Nearsheleskia
and Vincent Kucush, of this place, and
John Hall and an unknown Hungarian
miner, of Mount Carmel, are imprisoned in
gangway of the Black Diamond mine,
near the latter town, and it is question
W neither they will ever come to the surface
of the earth again. The men were en-
gagged in mining coal about 10 o'clock
this morning. The cracking of timber
in the gangway told them that
rush and fall of coal was about to occur,
and. to escape, the miners dashed down in
to the narrow tunnel. Nearsheleskia and
Rucush were ten feet in advance of the
rest, when suddenly mass of rock and
coal dropped In front of them, choking up
the entrance into the main gallery. As they
other mass of rock and timber stopped
their retreat, completely isolating the men
from their comrades. An alarm spread
through the mines. and the work of rescue
commenced. At 4 o'clock, this afternoon,
the laborers heard faint counds of voices,
eagerly pushed their work, and two hours
later were able to hold conversation
with Rucush. He informed them of
his own and companions safety. A
bunch s.., OF rugged top rock rock is
may fall at any moment. The fate of the
men in the second fall was unknown at
1890 p. NJ. The work of liberation contin-
ues, and shifts of ten men are put on every
few minutes. The mouth of the mine is
thronged with excited spectators and tear
full relatives. 1t is thought that the first
two men may be reached before morning.

An Arizona Mans Vain Effort to Secure the
Appointment Of Governor.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 14.-The appoint
ment of Lewis Valley, of Tucson, to be
Governor of Arizona will almost break the
heart Of at least one aspirant. A few days
ago a gentleman whose name is house
hold word in Arizona called upon the Presi-
dent and applied for the gubernatorial ap-
pointment. After making the usual speech
and presenting the common pile of indorse-
ments, he drew from under his arm book
of about $50 or 800 pages. with cover illu-
minated and the body-matter exquisitely
printed. This he handed to General
the author" The General received
it with thanks and assured his visitor that
he should read 1t with pleasure at the
first leisure moment
But it is for mediate reading" said the
gentleman, land refers to the matter about
which we have been talking"
The President, upon opening the book
found title page announcing the name of
the autibiographer, and that he was an ap-
plicant for the gOvernorship of Arizona.
Further investigation disclosed that the
work was the record of the life of the ap-
plicant and an argument In favor of his
fitness for the place, together with the in
dOrscments of his friends. The book ex-
cited the Presidents suspicious, evidently,
for it soon found it's way to the Secretary
of the Interior, and another man was, to-
day, appointed

THE ENGLISH MISSION.

Rumors That Seem to Point to Clash Be.
tween the President and Secretary Blaine.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-There is consid-
erable mystery about the English mission
and Whitelaw Reid. 1t is true, as have
stated in the dispatches before, that Mr..
Blaine left it to Mr.. Phelps and Mr.. Reed to
decide which of them should have a first
class mission, because he could not give one
to each, and the choice fell on Mr.. Reed;
and it is true. also, that, while Mr. Reed
had the English mission under advisement,
Mr.. Blaine wrote him to inquire if he would
take the French mission instead.
What Mr.. Reed said in re-
ply is not known, but his
friends say that he will not accept the
French mission, and is not likely to be sent
to England. They say that Mr.. Blaine ten
dered him the English mission without
consulting the President, and that when
Mr.. Blaine told the President what he had
done, the latter exclaimed, "Pm sorry for
that, as have man of my own for the
court of st. James. See if Mr.. Reid would
not like to go to France instead" And so
the matter stands at present. Who is the
Presidents man for the court of st. Jamesf
That is something great many people
would like to know.

SUING THE UNITED STATES.
Judge Sawyer Says Citizen Has the Right to
Bring Suit Against the Government.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 14.-In the United
States Circuit Court Judge Sawyer to-day
rendered an important decision. By it the
demurrer of the United States in the case
of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company
VS.. the United States is overruled and the
proposition laid down that the United
Stated can be sued by a subject. The
Southern Pacific company brought suit
against the government in the Circuit
Court, under an act of Congress of March
8, 1887, entitled "an act to provide for the
bringing of suits against the government
of the United States" setting up q claim to
tract of land against the United States
and asking that its title to the land be es-
tablished in the petitioner by
decree of this court. The lands
are odd numbered section A, lying in
the limits of lands granted by the United
States to the company, by an act approved
July, 1868. The petitioner claims that the
act alleged, if true, shows that the lands
were subject to the grant, and that the Pc
titioner has performed all the necessary
conditions. It's right to a patent is shown,
patent as required by law. The petitioner
prays that it may be adiudged entitled to
the patent and have such further relief as
may be agreeable to equity. The United
States demurs to the proposition on the
ground that the court has no jurisdiction
in such suit, and that the United
States cannot be sued in such case.
The court says: "In this case the claim is
founded upon q statute Of the United

FORGER CAPTURED.
Charged with Forgery and Victimizing q
Bank-A Swindle Amounting to $4,000.

CHICAGO, March 14.-William III. Davis,
a well-known builder and real estate dealer,
was arrested to-day at the door Of the Chi
cago Trust and Savings Bank, charged with
victimizing the president of the institution,
d. h. Tolman. Forgery was the specifca-
ton, but the purpose was to hold Davis in
addition for an extensive series of offenses,
such as selling to each of number of peo-
pie the same piece of property. The pris-
oner quickly gave bail for the forgery and
disappeared. Tonight it would appear
that, besides the plunder from his crimes,
he has made way with all his real estate
holdings. Where the money has gone to is
a mystery The arrest was we'll planned.
Davis had an appointment with Mr.. Toll
man at the bank, and before the hour ar

stationed in the bank entrance to await

AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

Reception to the Diplomatic Corps-Cos-
TUNES Worn by the Harrison Ladies.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-President and
Mrs. Harrison received the diplomatic
corps in the Blue Parlor of the White
House at noon to-day. Owing to an un-
fortunate misunderstanding of the notes of
invitation issued by the State Departments,
yesterday, only four ladies were present.
The invitations sent out by the State De-
partment were addressed only to the minis
ters and their secretaries. 1t has been the
custom to invite all the members of the
various legations and their ladies. A num-
ber of ministers sent notes to the State De-
partment early this morning inquiring into
the matter, and were in all cases informed
of the oversight A number of others neg
lected to inquire, and SO it happened that
only four ladies were present. They were
Countess Leopoldine, sister of the German
minister; Madam Romero, wife of the Mex
lean minister; Madam Hudelist, wife of the
secretary of the French legation, and Mad
am Veras, wife of the Chilian minister,
all of whom appeared in walking or
visiting costumes. The diplomates were
headed by the Haytian minister, who,
though representing, perhaps, the most un-
important nation, is, by reason of long serv-
ice. dean of the corps. They assembled in
the Red parlor fifteen minutes before the
President and Mrs. Harrison, attended by
Secretary and Mrs. Blaine, entered the
Blue Parlor. The party consisted of the
President and his wife. Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine,
Mrs. Russell Harrison and Mrs. Mckee.
Mrs. Harrison wore a handsome black lace
gown, with gold color introduced under
the lace above the edge of the elbow sleeves
and down the panel on the left of the skirt.
A cluster of buttercups in dull gold was
worn at the throat; the elbow sleeves were
furnished with deep puff of black brussels
net, which was caught at the wrist with
band of dull gold-tinted beads. Mrs. Nc
