POSTAL CLERKS HOPEFUL.

Believe Congress VIII Pass the Bill to Keor-
ganize the Service and Readjust Salaries.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Harry E. First, of
Cincinnati, and his colleagues, who are
here working in the interest of the measure
to reorganize the railway mail service and
resdjust the salaries of the postal clerks.
believe they will soon succeed. Mr.. First
made an argument the other day before
the House compitsee on postoffices and
post-roads in favor of the bill. and to the
Journal correspondent to-day he said:
"Our cause could not be in better shape;
we are making a complete canvass of
the congressman ana so Tar We
have received nothing but encouraging
words. Why, it would SURPRISE you at the
interest manifested in the postal clerks
cause. 1t looks as IL the postoffice COM
mittee will reach a decision on the measure
at an early date, and that it will be acted
upon by the House before any of the i'm
pOrtant measures will be ready, which, of
course, is greatly in our favor"
Mr.. First was asked as to what would be
done about the appropriation in case the
bill IS favorably passed upon. He said: II
think there will be no trouble on that
score. Congress will surely appropriate
enough money to make lr effective To ex-
pediate matters, a similar bill will be in
troduced In the Senate on Monday next

action"

ABBAS WILL BE LET ALONE.


No Effort Will Be Made 60 Contest tho Rights
OF Egyprs New Khedive.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, Jan. 30.-There is no truth in
q dispatch. which the Paris Figaro says it
received from London, stating that Lord
Salisbury is about to send q circular to the
powers announcing that owing to the sue
cession of the youthful Khediye the evacu-
alton of Egypt has become impossible. Ac-
cording to the best information, Lord Sails
bury will not intimate that the succession
makes any practical change in the situa-
tion. The brothers of the late Khedive, one
of whom is with Ismail Pasha, in Constan-
tinople, and the other at Cairo, have
never thought of disputing the sue
cesslon by the law of primogeniture.
The suggestion made in the London Times
the other day that Ismaii Pasha, the ex-
khedive. is detained at Constantinople for
political reasons, may be termed as not
strictly correct. 1t is the wealth rather
than the policy of the ex-Khedive which
causes his detention. When Sir William
Maret went to Cairo as her Majesty'e ad-
yocate, and also as general counsel Tor
Ismail. he obtained O settlement In cash
and property valued at nearly 81. 00O. 900. to
say nothing of fee which amounted to
more than 100000 for himself. Ii Is this
wealth which detains Ismail Pasha in the
cobwebs Of the Sublime Porte. Had he
been poor. with an income depending on
the British government. lsmaii would have
been free to wander where he pleased.
But he is too rich for freedom; and the re-
port is strangely wrong If IsmaiPs wealth
is not now passing into the hands Of the
greedy. governing class at Stsmb0ul.

MAKING A FOOL OF HIMSELF"
Detective PinksrtOn's View of Representative
Watson and His Proposed Investigation.

CHICAGO. Jan. 30.-"That man Watson is

William Pinkerton. while talking to q re-
porter regarding the policy advocated by
Representative Watson, of Georgia, in the
bill which he introduced In the lower
house. recommending that Congress make
q Thorough investigation OF PlnkertonIsm

under its practices.
"He must be insane" Mr.. Pinkerton con-
tinued. He states that we are practically
quasi-military organization, fostered by
capital. and consequently o constant men,

says that we employ an army of $4,000 sal

sleeves whenever he arose 70 talk on the
subject As for the investigation of our

ENGLAND ALSO PROTESTING.

Too Many Undesirable Foreigners Flockins
toLondon Town-A Newspapers Warning.
Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, Jan. 80.-The Daily News. the
Evening News and other papers here have
broken out in protest against the stream of
undesirable immigration allowed to pour
into and OUT of England without let or
hindrance. The Evening News to-day says
that London continues to more than ever
become the home of destitute aliens. OFF,
cIal returns show that last year S9.l25 i'm
migrants entered the city. Here most CT
them have stopped, adding to the worst
part of the population of the East End.
All attempts TO anglicize these
people have failed. Disease and crime, ac-
cording to the News are unrestrained
among them. The prospect before rs, " it
adds, lis an influx OF forty thousand of
these foreigners yearly. How then, the
News asks. Will Englishmen be able to live
unless this stream is dammedi The News
then predicts that there will be an explo-
sion some time from the accumulation of
this Objectionable element and the forces
it is sure to generate, against 1t. The citi-
zens of London by their apathy, according
to the paper mentioned, are earning the
anathemas of posterity."
This agitation in England has been going
on for months past and 10 now taking a
fresh squirt from the fact that the German
government is known to be occupied in
drawing up bill regulating emigration.
The main object of this measure 10 to put
check upon the doings of steamship and
other agents hose business it is to induce
poor people to emigrate. In the future
these agents will have TO give cer-
tain guarantees and ALLOW their
books and entire business methods
to be under the supervision of the
authorities. Swiss legislation on the same
subject is to be taken as the pattern OF simi-
lar German legislation. In Switzerland
emigration agents are prohibited from for
warding persons who, on account of old
age. illness or infrmity. are unable to
work. unless it is proved that they will be
amply provided for at their place of
destination. In addition. persons under
age. without the permission of
their guardians, persons who would arrive
abroad without means. those liable to mill
tary service, and parents who would
leave uneduoated children behind them
are not allo wed to emi crate. The prohibi-
tion already in force against the German
steamship companies carrying German emi-
grants at the expense of foreign states or
enterprises will be extended 10 agents also.
Finally, there will be created a special
emigration department in the Ministry Of
the Interior

Agreed to.
Mr.. Reed of Maine asked unanimous con-
sent that during the day members desirous
of introducing bills might present them to
the Speaker and be referred by him, as as
done during the Fifty-frst Congress.
Mr. Bland of Missouri objected, giving as
his reason that the Speaker did not regu-
larly refer bills during the Fifty-trst G on
gress.
MIR. Reed hoped that the gentleman did
not mean to insinuate that the present
Speaker would follow the evil example.
Mr. Walker of Massachusetts, thereupon
demanded the regular order, which was the
consideration of the unfinished business

stated that the rules had not been called up
for the reason that there there was special
order for o'clock. But Mr.. Walker still
insisted, and Mr.. CatchiHgs of Mississippi
moved to postpone consideration of rules
until Monday. On this motion Mr.. Buch-
anan of New Jersey raised the point OF

sumed in taking the vote by teIlers. Mr..
Buchanan said that as it was evident
that the party which had q two-thirds
majority in the House could not
command quorum. he would relent, and
he withdrew the point. The motion was.
therefore, declared carried. but then Mr..
Burrows of Michigan came to the front
with motion to reconsider. which Mr..
Springer moved to lay on the table. Again
no quorum voted. and that point was raised
by Mr.. Burrows. who said he wished to give
the Democrats an object lesson on what
might be done under the proposed rules.
Mr.. Springer's motion was agreed to-yeas.
