WASHINGTON, March 2S-The Demo-
cratic Representatives from Indiana are
greatly agitated over the sweeping reduc-
tons made by the river and harbor COM
mittee in the Indiana appropriations. The
river and harbor committee is intensely Sec
tional, six of the nine Democrats on the COM
mittee coming from Southern States, and
they have taken care that the North
shall suffer the heaviest cuts in appropria-
tions. The Hoosier Democrats are espe-
cially indignant at the manner in which the
interests Of Michigan City, Indiana's only
harbor. have been ruthlessly sacrificed. The
appropriation for the outer harbor has been
cut from $4,000 to $4,000, while the cut In
the appropriation for the inner harbor is
even deeper, being from $4,000 to $1,000 The
statistics of the trade of Michigan City
show that the proper Improvement of this
harbor is of vital Importance to Indiana s
manufacturing industries, and that the
business interests of the district will hotly
resent the action of the Democratic Con-
gress. Mr.. Conn to-day telegraphed to the
Board of Trade asking for the necessary
statistics which to base his argument
for an amendment which he will offer in
creaSing the appropriation.

THE BERING SEA FLEET.
Twelve Vessels Ready to Protect the
Seal Herds from POachers.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The agree
ment relative to the seal fisheries has not
yet been perfected, although it is supposed
to be near that stage. 1t is understood that
the main point of difference arises from
the insistence of the British that warning
be served on the Canadian sealers who go
into the forbidden zone before the agree
ment is ratified, as a preliminary to seizure.
Secretary Gresham has taken the ground
that these vessels have already had suffi-
cient warning in the publication OF the de-
cision of the arbitrators. This point, how
ever, does not appear to involve differ
ence so radical as to threaten an amicable
understanding.
Secretary Gresham had an interview with
the President to-day after Sir Julian Paun-
eefStes visit am and an evidence of the ex-
forded by the selection of the vessels of
the patrol fleet and beginning OF the prepa-
The vessels designated for the service are
the Mohican, Captain c. f. Clark; the
Yorktown, Captain Folger; the Alert, Capt
Morgan; the Bennington, Capt. c. NJ.
the Adams, Captain Brice; the Concord,
Captain Goodrich: the Petrol, Captain En-.
DRY; the revenue cutters Bear, Rush and
Corwin and the fish commission vessel
Albatross.
The patrol fleet will include twelve serv-
the Rush. they probably will all be ready
to assume their places by the first of May
and follow the seal herds north from the
California boundary line as they
appear, making 1t warm for any poachers
that may seek to operate in the north Pa
cific and Boring this season While
Captain Clark, of the Mohican, is the senior
officer of the fleet, 1t has not yet been de-
cded which ship of the fleet shall act as
flag ship.

Britain VIII Act.
LONDON, March 2S.-Attorney-general
Sir Charles Russell will introduce, in the
House of Commons, tomorrow, bill pro-
viding for the proper enforcement Of the
Berins, sea arbitration. There is no ques-
ton of q new modus vivendi, and it iseun-
derstood that the bill will not be opposed.
Sir Charles Upper, Canadian High Com
missioner to London, who was one OF the
British agents at the Boring sea tribunal
of arbitration in Paris, had a long inter-
view with Sir Robert Meade at the Foreign
Office. Sir Charles expressed the opin on
that although it would have been prefer
able to have had no delay in l5gaIizlns the
award of the tribunal of arbitration, there
was every reason to believe that all the
countries concerned in the seal fisheries
would peaceably conform to the award di-
rectly after it was established.

DECORATED HIS TRUNK.
Mr.. Pierce, a Union City Groom, Would
Have His Little Joke.

C. S. Pierce and wife. Of Union City, who
were married there Tuesday, are guests at
the Bates. For a number of years Mr.
Pierce has helped make ii interesting for
his friends who have preceded him on the
matrimonial journey, and they rallied for
him Tuesday in way that left no one
in doubt between Union City and here as
to his being a groom. Getting possession
Of his trunk they decorated IL with ribbons
and old shoes. and nailed a large card,
"Just married. on IL. Then they hired a
drayman TO haul II about the streets OF
Union City for some time before sending
IL TO Indianapolis. After several other lit
tie pleasantries of a similar sort they al
lowed the much tortured groom to depart.
He Is almost afraid to go back TO Union
City because of an impression that his
friends have prepared a grand coup that
will throw in the shade any OF his efforts
along the same line I'm former years, when
he was foremost in practical jokes upon
young married people. Mr.. and Mrs.
Pierce go from here TO Chicago before re-
turning home.

Thomas Powelrs Experience with High
waymen Last Night.

Thomas Powell. residing at No. 296 South
Tennessee street. was held up and robbed
last night, about z o'clock, when within q
short distance Of his home. He was on his
way home from work and was walking
along engrossed in thought when two men
sprang from an alley, the larger one throw
ing an arm around PowelPs neck, thus
strangling him, while the smaller one
searched his pockets. He found only 81.
The highwaymen then ordered Powell to
which he proceeded to do with aiacrity.
The highwaymen quickly MADE their disap-
pearance. Powell stated that the two men
wore dark clothes and soft crush hats
The larger one was OF fine build and had a
light red mustache. Mr.. Powell. though he
was unable 10 get a description Of the
smaller highwayman, is positive that he
could identify the larger one.

INDIANA TAX CASES.
Arguments Concluded Yesterday-NO
Decision Expected Before April 23.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.


WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Arguments in
the Indiana railroad cases were concluded
before the Supreme Court to-day. Attor-
ney-general Smith finished his argument in
behalf Of the State, and was followed by
Mr.. Dye for the railroads. In the course
of his argument Mr.. Dye dwelt the
poverty of one of the roads OF the Big Four
system He was interrupted by Mr.. Bev-
eridge, of counsel for the State, with the
request that he cite the evidence from the
record in support of his statement. Mr.. Dye
stated there was no evidence. During the
latter part of his argument which was
well-sustained legal effort, Mr.. Dye was
occupied almost entirely In responding to
questions asked by the court. Mr.. Ketch-
closed for the State, and though his
time was very limited, he presented a lucid
and necessarily concise 6 dtement of the
States contention in the cases. He confined
himself principally to the brief. The argu-
ments were concluded at o'clock this
afternoon. The March term of court ends
April %, and no decision is expected before
the last Monday of the term.
