WASHINGTON. March 31.-Indiana Demo.
Gratis here are commenting on the postoffice
appointment for Lebanon. as it seems it
did not round MP In the landing originally

Riley Hogshire, of Indianapolis, a buxom
and bouncing young Democrat of Boone

Gresham and Carlisle Think tho Behring Sea
Commission IL Costly Affair.
WASHINGTON, March 81. - Secretaries
Gresham and Carlisle have been looking
into the expenditures of the Behring Sea
Commission, and 1t will not be surprising
If the conclusion is reached that some of
the allowances are extravsgant and should
be discontinued. These allowances were
made by John w. Foster while Secretary
of State. 1t appears that every body con-
nected with the commission, from the
stenographers down. have been given very
liberal allowances, which the officials of
this administration include under the head
of useless extravaganza. There are. it is
said, eight or ten officials connected with
the commission who are receiving more
than double pay ey drawing from So to SIS
per day in addition to their regular salaries,
which range from 81, 500 to S3, 500 per
annum. One of the witnesses, 1t is stated.
has been allowed Sl5 per day as an expert.
and another witness something like that
amount for services which cannot be ex.
pert, for the reason that the witness has
no expert knowledge of the subject to be
considered. The arbitrators number, of all
ranks and occupations, fifteen persons.
including two stenographers. and they are
to be paid out of a fund appropriated for
the purpose. The rumors of these expend-
itures have made quite q stir in the depart
ment and some interesting developments
are expected.

That Settles the Evangelical Church War.

OTTAWA. Ill. March 31.-The Illinois
ion per curiam. absolutely settled the
Evangelical Church war by ousting the
Dubs faction bodily, and holding that the
Indianapolis General Conference was the
only lawful body. and that Its adjudications
and findings regarding the division in the
church was final and binding. The opin-
ion has been awaited with great interest
not only in the State of Illinois, but in
Ohio. Pennsylvania. Oregon and Iowa,
where splits have been organized In the
church. The case at hand and the one
upon which the Supreme Court passed is
that of Husser vs. Schweicker, from Chi
cago, and the Supreme Courts opinion is
practically In accord with that of Judge
Shepard and the APPELLATE Court

Meanwhile Bishop Esher appointed the

RIsLEY ON THE HOOKS.

Further Evidence TO Show He Was Given
Money with Which TO Buy Arms.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
TERRE HAUTE, March 31.-Mr. Joseph Fl.
Blake, whose statement in regard to the
Risley Sons of Liberty affair first attracted
public attention, was seen to-day, after he
had read Senator Voorhees, communities
tion denying the charges against his
brother-in-lsw. Mr.. Blake says he is now
waiting the return of John b. Meyer. who
is the one said to have paid over to RisIey
the money with which arms were to have
been purchased in New York. Mr.. Blake
was county clerk at the time, ana Meyer
was his deputy and cashier. Blake says
he gave the money to Meyer to give To Ris-
ley. Meyer is highly respected by all who
know him. He has held q county Office,
and has been connected with offices abous
the courthouse for thirty years or more.
Persons without bias in the present contro-
versy say that if John b. Meyer asserts that
he paid Risley the money they will believe
he did SO. Mr.. Meyer Is now, with his
wife, at the home of ber father, who is dy-
ing and may not return here for q few
days.
D1r. Sam higney, one Oh the men VINO con-
tributed to the fund. says he received let
ters from Risley after the latter went to
New York, in which the writer told of the
difficulty he was experiencing in getting
the sort of guns wanted. Rigney. who
lives in the country. said yesterday that
he would look for these letters According
to his story, RIsley visited his neighbor-
hood for the purpose of raising a regiment
for defensive action if the Union men car
ried out their threats to molest the Demo-
Gratis who were evincing their sympathy
with the Confederacy. Blake now claims
that he did not know what the money wac
for when he received it. and that later.

Two Prospective Diplomatic Appointments
Risiey yInstructed-Place for MacauIey
WASHINGTON, March 31.-Two diplomatic
appointments are expected to be made
shortly. They are: Mr.. Hannis Taylor. of
Mobile. Ala. to be minister to Spain. and
Mr.. John Van Allen. of New York, to be
minister to Italy. These appointments are
believed to have been practically decided
upon. Mr.. Taylor is a lawyer of ability
and an author of some repute. Mr.. Allen
is a man of great wealth. He married into
the Astor family. and Is gentle man of cul-
ture and refinement.

to be United States marshal for that Territory.
1t is claimed that McAlester, by reason or mis-
having married a Chickasaw woman, Is no longer
a citizen of the United States, but OF the Terri
tory, and. therefore, ineligible TO appoint
ment; also. that he has opposed the Demo-
cratic organization in the Territory and
aided and abetted the Indians In their recent up
rising, supplied them with arms and promised
them money; that he is man or great wealth
and power among the Indians, and by reason of
his influence, alleged to be improperly used, is
not the proper man to be peace officer These
charges are met by counter statements on the
part of McAlester and his friends who appear
before the committee They say that they were
only filed because 1t last resort to effect, II
possible, his defeat and that the men making
them had been candidates for the place to which
he was apDOinted.

WASHINGTON, March 81. President
Cleveland will open the worlds fair on the
1st day of May. He has definitely decided
to do this and will send his acceptance to

There has never been much doubt Of mis-
acceptance. but he withheld his promise to
open the great exposition until he could
have time to ascertain what effect upon his
health the raid of Office seekers would have.
He is now satisfied that he can
afford to get away from Washington for q
few days a month hence, and will push the
button that starts the machinery of the
worlds greatest exposition running. More
over, he is anxious TO have the member of
his Cabinet attend with him. and it is
