UNFoRrUNATE APPOINTMENT.
Indiana Democrats Oppose Frank Burke

Indiana Democrats Oppose FRANK burho,
the New District Attorney.
INDIANAPOLIS, March 21.-The ap-
pointment OF Frank Burke as District
Attorney OF Indiana has created a great
surprise and not a little Indignation.
1t was foregone, at least In this city,
that John w. Kern would be the ap-
pointee. Kern has been a staunch
Cleveland man all along, while Burke
has been anti-Cleveland. The Sentinel
and NelOS to-day both deplore the ap-
polntment. The Sentinel says 1t cannot,
without stultifying itself in repudiating
all that it has fought for the
last five years, approve Burke's
appointment. Both papers cite
Burke's legislative record as
an unsavory one and says that he has
always been the mouth-plece.of the lobby
and the friend of corporations. Lucius
B. Swift, the we'll known civil service
reformer and one OF the editors OF the
Civil SerUice Chronicle, condemns the
appointment ana says: Burke is one
of the most vicious opponents OF good
government that has OF late years got
into public places. Mr.. Swift added;
Happily 1t is not too late, II Mr. Cteve-
land desires, TO correct his mistake"
Knowing ones are to-day shaking
their heads and saying that the Presi-
dent mas been imposed upon.

A REMARKABLE INVENTION.
Long Distance Writing Machine Which
Reproduces Chirography.


CHICAGO, March 21.-Paof. Elisha
Gray's telentogrsph, or long distance
writing machine, was tested to-day In
the presence Of q number OF representa-
tives of the press. The performance OF
the machine was all that could be ex-
pected.
Tho "Telentograph" consists OF q
transmitter and receiver associated
for use at the one station. The struct-
ure of these instruments Is remarkably
simple, or deuoid Of complication, and
the mode of operation is in all respects
direct and positive.
An ordinary lead pencil is used, near
the point OF which two silk cords are
fastened 1t right angles to each other,
These cords connect with the instru-
ment. and following the motions oil the
pencil regulate the current impulses
which control the receiving pen at the
distant station.
The writing is done on ordinary pa
per conveniently attached TO the ma
chine. A lever at the left is so moved
by the hands as to shift the paper for
ward mechanically at the transmltter
and electrically at the receiver.
The receiving pen is q capillary glass
tube placed at the junction OF two alum
inum arms. This glass pen is supplied
with ink. which flows from reservoir
through a small rubber tube placed 10
one ef these arms.
The electrical impulses coming over
the wire move the pen OF the receiver
simultaneously with the movements OF
the pencil in the hand of the sender.
As the pen passes over the paper an
ink tracing is left, which is always a
fac-simile Of the sender's motions,
whether in the formation OF letters,
words, figures, signs or sketches.

WILD RECTOR AHLwARDr.
He Makes Reckless Statements Concern
ing Bismarck and the Jows.

ing Bismarck and the Jows.
BERLIN, March 2l.-Rector Ahlwardt
in the course Of rsbidly anti-semitlc
speech declared that he had eleven doc
uments which showed concluslvely that
while Prince Bismarck was Chancellor
fraudulent contracts had been made re-
peatedly with Jewish fnanciers.
= Vast amounts had been transferred
dishonesty by means OF these contracts
from the Golfers OF the State 70 the
pockets OF Jewish spectators. These
statements were made by Ahiwardt
amid growing confusion among the
Radicals, Nationals, Liberals and Social
Democrats.
He was interrupted by calls for
names, but he did not give them. Al
ter the President had quieted the
House, Ahlwardt said that the deputies
were not obliged 20 depend upon bis
word for proof that these frauds bad
existed, as the documentary evidence
was above impeachment. Had the losses
OF the State, through the contracts
been trivial, the matter might better
have been allowed 70 pass uDnoticed;
but the truth was, that through its re-
lations with the Jews the government
had lost millions.
The documents proving this were
signed by men Of national reputation.
Several OF these men were now minis
ters. One OF them was DR.. johannes
MloueI. Prusslan Minister Of Finance
Prolonged uproar followed this state
ment. Deputies shouted that Ahlwardt
should produce his documents. as bis
word had been proven 20 be worthless,
and the debate closed with his being
directed 70 submit the documents 70 the
Relchstag tomorrow.

ing Upon the President ANY More.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 21.-The
pressure exerted by Congressman at the
White House for appointments has de-
veloped into an individual scramble. AT
first Congressional delegations were In
a measure united. They would agree
as a whole upon some appointments,
and the entire delegation would en-
dorse the applicant.
The President has effectnally disinte-
grated the delegation Endorsement sys-
TEN, and now each man is going in for
himself and pushing his individual
friends. One result which the President
has achieved. and which was his design.
is the breaking up Of ring politics In the
delegations.
Patronage which heretofore has been
considered the sacred property OF Sena-
tors-for instance, the selection OF
marshals and district attorneys, Is now
declared free for all. and the humble
members of the lower House, or even
group of private citizens, may present
the names of candidates with some de-
gree of hope OF their success. Con-
gressional delegations may come to the
White House together now, but the
members drop in alone and render their
own solos.

MI. Cleveland Said to Have Informed
Members OF the Cabinet That All Ap-

New YORK. March IA Washing

1t has leaked out that President
Cleveland has notified the members OF
his cabinet that they must make no ap-
pointments until the names Of those Sc

mitted to and approved by him.
The rule has been laid down By the

and it is TO apply even to clerks In the

also became known to-day.
At the first cabinet meeting The ques-
tion OF allowing Republicans In the

" in favor Of not removing any Repuo-

j. Pierpont Morgan Said TO Have Gone TO
London to Negotiate n Loan for the
Treasury.
New YORK, March 21.-It was re-
ported tonight from an authoritative
source that j. Pierpont Morgan, who
sails on the Majestic tomorrow. goes
on an important mission for the gov
ernment.
II is stated that he has been author
lied to Negotiate loan Of $50, 600, 600 10
gold. The report is apparently well
founded. Mr.. Morgan was in Washing
ton last week and held a long confer
ence with Secretary Of the Treasury
Carlisle.
OF course neither Mr.. Morgan nor
the Secretary OF the Treasury could be
expected to say anything for pubIica-
tion on the subject. Even II II be true
that Mr.. Morgan is going to London
for that purpose stated, none OF the
Treasury officials would admit II.
However, there are many things that
seem to confirm the report. Mr., Nor
gan's friends say that only the most I'M
portant business would take him out OF
the country at this time.
