The Senate seemed to enjoy the playful

joke.
When Morrill, took his seat, Sena-
tor Quay (Rep.) of Pennsylvania ap-
peared from behind his huge pile OF man
uscript and resumed the speech he has
been delivering since April 10th. No at
tention was paid to the Pennsylvania
Senator, save by the official reporter.
Several times during the afternoon call
OF the Senate was had upon the sugges-
ton Of some of the Republicans. These
roll calls gave Quay the necessary
breathing spells.
At 4:4o p. NJ, on motion of Mr.. Mills,
the Senate went into executive session.
IN THE HOUSE.
WAsHIN GToN, Nav S.-The bill for the
creation of public printing Office in
Washington occupied the House during
the greater portion of the day, and came
to a rather ignomlnious end. A number
OF amendments and substitutes were Of
fered TO the first section, providing for the
purchase of site, but the only thing
which finally came out of the melee was
a resolution of Mr.. Holman to refer the
question to a commission to consist OF
the Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds, with instructions to select site
on the ground now owned by the Gov
ernment.
The naval appropriation bill was called
up ana briefly explained in some of its
parts by Mr.. Cummings, but the House
adjourned at 5:05, before he had concluded
his remarks.

Danger of Disturbance in Indla-Warn-
ing to the Government.
LONDON, May S.-Colonel Malleson, an
eminent authority on Indian affairs, has
written an open letter to the newspapers
on the expected uprising of the natives in
India, which was treated seriously by the
Spectator on Saturday. Colonel Malleson
says that the Spectators estimate of the
gravity of the situation is not one which
is exaggerated. Undoubtedly some seri-
Gus disturbance is impending and prompt
action on the part of the Government is
imperative.
There may be an uprising on Thurs
day. the anniversary OF the Sepoy mu
tiny in 1851, but it is bound to come if
immediate measures are not taken to
prevent it. The natives have supersti-
riols dread against the taking of any inn
portant action upon an ill-omened date.
The writer advises the Government 10
cease tampering with the laws relating to
marriage, the sale and use of opium and
other so-called reforms" which the ma
tives regard as worse than tyrannieal,
and to quietly but closely watch the
movements of the natives in the mean
time.

A PREACHER WITH NERVE.
He Received an Anonymous Letter
His Defiant Speech.

FIT. WAYNE. Nov. 1S.-Specill.-The
town of New Haven. Ind, has an embryo
Parkhurst. He IS the clergyman at the
New Haven and Dawkins and Taylor's
chapel, methodist episcopal churches. The
Rev. Mr.. Steer resides in New Haven and
recently made an attack from his pulpit on
the saloons of New Haven. The first at
tack was made two weeks ago and he
repeated the sermon on social purity at
Dawl1ins and Taylor's chapel. He made
another Parkhurst expose last Sunday
morning.
Before he left for his Dawl1ins church
he was the recipient of an Anonymous
letter threa tening him with a rotten egg
ing and election from the school house if
he assailed the Dawkins saloons. This
did not deter the refOrmer, and when he
arose TO deliver the sermon he said:
Il have been Informed that there will
be an effort made to eject me from this
school house if 1 persist in attacking the
low dives in The community. The effort
may or may not succeed, but I must also
state that / am prepared for such a move
n7ent ON the part Of the saloon element.
l do not desire to resort to any violence
to defend myself, although it must be I'M
derstoOd that l can handle six men with
out re,Oading."
The expression that he carried a six
shooter prevailed with the tough element
in the congregation and the Rev. Mr.. Steer
was not interrupted.

FRANKFORT, Nov. 15.-Special.-The
Zionsville desperate. Joe Conrad, who was
brought here last night by Boone county
officers to escape an alleged mob, was
lodged in jail without trouble and seemed
to be relieved when ne found himself safe
behind the bars.
All day the officers and reporters have
been endeavOring to secure a statement
from him. The most ingenious questions
failed to elicit any response from him
save:
Il don't know"
Only once was he caught off his guard,
when The Sentinel reporter suggested that
he was justified in the shooting, as ne had
been so provoked. No" he said quickly,
II had no prOvocation. L do not know
why I shot him..
1t is thought by some that the mob
may come tonight and undertake TO lynch
him. The officers refuse to believe this
and declined to take him to KOkomo. as
some people thought should be done. The
police are on the alert and should an at
tempt be made to take the prisoner the
mob will meet with a warm reception.
Conrad, while refusing to talk, seems to
take matters coolly and by his demeanor
seems to justify the report that he is
desperado. He made a general denial Of
the reports that he had killed a man in
South Carolina to Sheriff Allen and stated
that this is the first trouble he had ever
been in.
Inasmuch as he refuses to make a state
ment the popular feeling here is very
much against him.
