LITTLE HOPE FOR PECKHAM.
His Nomination Reported to the Sem
nte without Recommendation.


Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. FIT is the pre-
vailing impression In Washington that the
nomination of Peckham to the Supreme
Court of the United States, which was re-
ported from the judiciary committee to the
Senate to-day without recommendation. the
committee being a tie. will be ultimately re-
jected by a majority about the proportions
Of that cast against the nomination of
Hornblower. Personal considerations and
ties led two or three Senators to-day to
vote for confirmation. while one member
OF the committee, Mr.. Hoar, of Massa-
chusetts. is said to have absented himself
from the meeting of the committee because
he did not want to vote for or against
Peckham. II is not probable that this
nomination will be disposed Of under con-
On next Thursday. The Republicans will,
OF course. control the situation, and they
do not see any political or other advantage
In relieving the stress OF the Democratic
conditions. They cannot see that there will
be any advantage IN ending the strife be-
cratic Senators from New York, or giving
the President the opportunity to send in
another offensive nomination until he has
had ample time for application of his
preme Court of the United States and what
properly constitutes the advice and con-
sent" of the Senate. The Well-known States
right views of Peckham are injuring his
chances with Republicans. The members
of the committee voted to-day as follows:
for confirmation and Pugh. Coke, Hill, Tel
Ter and Wilson against.

1T Is o EARLY,
Mr.. johnson Says, to Determine on
Pr~esidentinI Candidates.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The speech Of
Representative Johnson, of Indiana, on the
Hawaiian question, in which ne justified
the policy of President Harrison toward
Hawaii, has led to the report that Mr..
Johnson voiced the views of Mr.. Harrison.
But the Indiana Congressman disavows
any such inspiration, and his friends nave
learned that he Is not among those who
speak for Mr.. Harrison or who consider 1T
settled that the ex-President should again
be a candidate for the presidency. 1T is
too early" said Mr.. Johnson, Ito de-
termine on presidential candidates. l have
always been an earnest supporter of Mr..
Harrison. He is an able man and gave the
country an excellent administration But
there are other able men in the party
whose availability will be considered. The
presidential candidate must be able to draw
toward him the people and the leaders of
the party. There is a question as to Mr..
Harrison,s ability to do this, for. however.
capable he is, he lacks those peculiar
traits which attach men to him and solidify
all elements. 1t is rather early. therefore,
to name Mr.. Harrison as the Indiana can
didate for the nomination. | have no
doubt a good man will be found as the
pdrtyS candidate"

Cost of the Rescue.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The Navy De-
partrnent has received advlces confirmatory
OF the dispatch announcing the arrival of
the steamer City of Para at Colon, with the
crew of the wrecked United States cruiser
Kearsarge.
Secretary Herbert will not make any de-
cision as TO what course he will pursue in
the matter of the wreck of the Kearsarge
until he hears Admiral Stanton's report.
The naval regulations provide for an in
vestigation in such cases. 1t is estimated
that the rescue of the Kearsarge crew will
cost the government about $4,000. AS the
City OF Para had to be specially insured for
this trip, which was done on Friday morn
ing, the total cost was 1921, which the gov
eminent has agreed TO pay. The price to
be paid for the use of the ship is $3.50.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator voor-

committee room were met with the reply
that the Senator was under the weather.

certainly have come to the Capitol to-day,

Our Relief System Commended.

Special 70 the IndianapoIis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-This evenings
Star mme editorially on the policy of
the indianapolis relief committee in buying
its supplies in large quantities direct from
wholesalers and selling them at cost price
to consumers. The Star exploits the policy
of the indianapolis for the pur-
pose of having it adopted by the relief COM
mittee in Washington, and then says: Il
comparing the cost at indianapolis with
that in this city of the same articles pur-
chased at retail, 1t will at once be perceived
how much further in the direction of relief
a dollar contributed at indianapolis goes
than if contributed and spent under the sys-
tenn which has hitherto prevailed. The
wholesale purchase is a wise policy"
