WASHINGTON, June 5.-Mr. Holman has
succeeded in at last obtaining right of way
for the Indian appropriation bill. After
promising Mr.. Cooper that he would make
no objection to permitting the bill to re-
peal the present exemption from taxation
of greenbacks to be acted on before the
Indian appropriation bill was called up.
Mr.. Holman impressed on Speaker Crisp
the necessity for immediate action on the
Indian bill. because all contracts authorized
in the bill run from the first day of July.
and 1t will be the middle of June before the
Indian bill can be passed by even the
House, after which it must pass the Sem
ate and go TO conference. Hence, Mr..
Crisp, in spite of HIS deep dislike for Mr..
Holman and lack Of faith usually in the
Watch Dogs assertions, was compelled
to believe him in this matter and to order
the rules committee to reconsider its pre-
viously formed determination to give Mr..
Cooper the preference. Consequently, Mr..
Holman will be permitted TO gain the floor
tomorrow after the defeat of the bill to re-
peal the present 10 per cent. tax on State
banks. Mr.. Cooper's bill will come up in
the House as soon as the Indian bill is dis
posed of.
There will be some lively debate over the
Indian bill. The same desire on the part
of many Democratic members TO repay Mr..
Holman for the petty meannesses he COM
mitted when he was chairman Of the APP
preparations committee, which has succeed
ed in preventing him from calling up his
bill for so long. will manifest itself again
by savage attacks on some of the provi-
sions of the bill. Thus, members of the
committee on irrigation of arid lands, Of
which Mr.. Cooper is chairman, will wipe
off some old scores when that clause of the
Holman bill comes up which a~ppropriates
$4,000 for the irrigation Of certain Indian
lands. The appropria ton for the Indian
schools under sectarian charge is expected
to involve a very heated discussion in
which the A. p. A. will play a prominent
part. Other sections of the bill will be
similarly attacked. This determined on
slaught On the Indian appropriation bill
will be something entirely unprecedented,
as the bill generally passes after merely
prefunctory debate. The sole cause of the
acrimonious discussion which is univer-

his hypoeritical methods and shams.

Close of the State Bank Debate.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-When the House
met to-day two unsuccessful attempts were
made TO secure consideration of private
bills. Mr.. Catchings. from the committee
on rules, brought in a resolution providing
that the previous question on the Brawley
bill shall be considered adopted at 5 o'clock
to-day, the rest of the day to be devoted
TO debate under the five-minute rule. Mr..
Cor the total unconditional repeal of the
tax on State banks.
The bill was debated by Messrs. Boatner,
Pendleton of Texas, Enloe, Livingston,
Talbert, Cooper of Florida, and other DEM
ocrats in favor of the bill, and by Messrs.
Adams. Lacey, Quigg and Ray and other
Republicans. in opposition to it. Mr.. Bryan
said he would propose a bill which would
provide a larger circulation of paper money
under the exclusive control of the federal
government. At 5:35, without further &C
ton on the bill, the House adjourned.

Mr.. Conn to Edit a Sensa-
tiOnaI Daily Newspaper.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-Representative
Conn contemplates the grave responsibility
of conducting a daily morning paper at the
national capital. He may assume the con-
troll Of the Washington Times. the one
cent daily recently started by the printers,
whom the employment of type-setting ma
chimes by the other dailies printed here,
threw out of work. The paper has been a
failure up to the present time, not for lack
OF men of ability in the various depart
ments, but from want of capital and the
inevitable dissensions arising where a pa
per is controlled by a numerous board of
directors without the least knowledge or
experience for their guide. If Mr.. Conn
finally decides to take the paper it is likely
to be conducted in a manner that will
cause a succession of sensations in the big
white building on the hill. Mr.. Conn will
run 1t as an Independent paper. on the con-
slant lookout for wrongs to right and TO
expose, and he has been led to believe by
his comparatively brief experience in Con-
gress that there is room and occasion here
In Washington for such a paper. :

ocal. OF the navy was before the House
committee to-day, on the prospects of
pushing the Nicaragua canal to completion.

millions less than his estimate of some
years ago. He said contractors were ready
to do the work within the estimates. The
work could be completed in six years. The
cut would be from eighty to 80 feet wide
and thirty feet deep. The region of the
canal was very healthful. so that work
could DO done without loss from sickness.

WHEELING, w. Va. June 5.-The Bel
mont county miners made a bold move last
night, when several stopped a coal train
west-bound on the Baltimore & Ohio. at
Franklin station, west of Bellaire. A large
number of miners congregated there this
ncrning and Sheriff Scott is now at the
scene. The stoppage of the Baltimore &
Ohio shuts off the last channel OF the West
Virginia coal to the lakes.
The miners at bridge No. 3, on the c..

heavily reinforced to-day, and now num-
Der over one thousand. The men are as
determined as ever that no coal trains will
be hauled. 1t is not expected that the
company will make any effort to-day, as
no appeal has yet been made to the Gov

done. Over two thousand cars of Monon-
