grasped the hands of George Stamper,

A STRIKE AvERTEU.
Indianapolis Street Railroad Employees
Will Boycott President Frensei.

INDIANAPOLIS, Peb. 1l,-Any likeli-

badges and the abolition of the extra
service feature is intense, but the belief
that strike would result disastrously to
the men restrains any hostile demonstra-
tion. Instead of striking scheme is ON
foot by the organized labor interests to
boycott every enterprise in which Presi-
dent Frensel is interested and to combat
his ambitions at every turn.

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. -- The vice
president laid before the senate COM
munication from the secretary of war
transmitting objections of lieutenants of
the army to tue proposed change from
regimental to lineal promotion, as work
ing injustice TO the older lieutenants.
Mr.. Chandler asked immediate con-
sideration of bill providing for the
presentation of badges to Commander
Schley and the officers and men of
Greely relief expedition, but on obJec-
ton of Mr.. Morgan, of Alabama, the
bill went to -Ne calendar.
Bills were reported and placed on the
calendar as follows:
To increase the rate of pensions in
certain cases of deafness.
To amend the total helpless pension

To amend the act relating to those
who having participated in the rebellion,
have since enlisted in the army or navy
of the United States, and become dis

To provide for permanent system of

outside the city of Washington.
For the relief of the heirs of John

by request, presented and had read a
long memorial complaining of unjust
favoritism S own by the district COM
mittee to the Washington Market COM
pany, which was referred to the district

CABINET CHANGES.
RumOrs That Blaine and Wan
amaker are to Resign.
The Secretary of State on Account
of His Health,
And the Postmaster General to
Go Abroad
AS THE SUCCESSOR OF MINISTER
REID IN PARIS.

Said That James s. Clarkson is to Suo-
oeed the Retiring Postm aster General.
Mr.. Blaine's Inability to Perform the
Arduous and Exacting Duties of His
Present Office Has Resulted in His De-
termination to Withdraw Entirely
from Political Life.
New YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Press
Washington special says:
Secretary Blaines resignation from
the cabinet will, after reasonable in
terval, follow his letter of withdrawal
as presider tial possibility. Mr.. Blaine,
If he followed his personal inclination,
would tender the president his resigna-
ton at once, but he realizes that such
act, following Immediately upon his
letter to Chairman Clarkson, would be
widely misinterpreted, and would be
misconstrued by the opponents Of the
Republican party.
The reason which Secretary Blaine
will give to the president for retiring
from the cabinet will be that of physi-
cal inability to continue to perform the
arduous and exacting duties of his pres
ent Office. This is, in fact, the true
reason for Mr.. Blaines determination to
withdraw f. om official life. Since the
Chilian affa,- has assumed less import
ance it is stated that Mr.. Blaine has ex-
pressed desire to visit Cuba, and it is
thought that that island will be his
most probable destination after he has
resigned from the cabinet
General Agnus, of Baltimore, is the
authority for the latest Blaine rumor.
He suggests that Edmunds or Lincoln
will succeed Mr., Blaine.
