THE PRESIDENT MAY ACT
LIKELY TO SEND A SPECIAL MES
SAGE ON CURRENCY QUESTION.
Would Ask Authority to Appoint "A
CommissiOn-COmmittee Salts
fed with the Outlook.

Hugh Fl. Hanna, chairman of the execu-
tive committee appointed at the monetary
convention in January, is home from Wash
ington. He will return to the national cap
ital when his presence is necessary. Mr..
Hanna speaks hopefully of the situation. 1t
is his opinion that President Mckinley will
send a message to Congress before the
extra session expires asking that he be
authorized to appoint a commission to in
Yestigate the banking and currency. Mr..
Hanna has had the good fortune to come
into close touch with influential men in
both branches of Congress-, and has
found deep interest taken in the subject.
up to this time" said Mr.. Hanna to a
Journal reporter last night, there is a
very general. expression of desire on the
part of senator's and representatives that
favorable action should be taken, and so
far there has been no serious expression of
opposition. 1t is my opinion that at the
proper time the President will send a mes
sage asking for authority from this extra
session of Congress to appoint a commis-
sion for the purpose OF investigating the
banking and currency system of the coun-
try, and for recommendations for leglSla-
ton for needful changes"
Just now the tariff question is uppermost
in the minds of legislators, but ii is be-
lieved that this subject will be disposed Of
in time for the financial problem to receive
favorable consideration before the extra
session ends.

WILL NOT SPEND MUCH
DIRECTORS WILL RUN THE CAR SYs-
TEN FOR WHAT THERE Is IN 1T.
Programme Agreed Upon Carried Out
interchangeable with May
or TaSGart.

The stockholders meeting of the Citizens
Street-railroad Company was held yester-
day morning at the offices of the company,
and the programme outlined in the journal
yesterday was carried out without a hitch.
The Philadelphia gentlemen were the only
ones in attendance beside the executive Of
ficers of the company. They had proxies
for all the votes cast, and elected them
selves directors as follows: Kennedy Cross
an, w. w. Kurtz, R. II. Rushton, Franklin
Dundore, Joseph S. Neff, w. 9. Houston
and w. j. Turner. S stockholders they
adopted a resolution declaring that Mr..
Mason had managed the affairs of the COM
pany with marked ability and integrity,
and expressing regret that he had deter
mined to retire.
Converting as d board of directors, the
magnates elected Kennedy Crossan presi-
dent of the company, and reelected Mr..
Milholland as secretary and treasurer, Mr..
Elliott as superintendent and Mr.. Lewis as
assistant superintendent. The office of vice
president was left vacant, and if the board
finds later that it is necessary to have a
resident manager in addition to the super
lntendent, it will select a man to act as
vice president and general manager. There
was some talk yesterday of an intention of
trying to bring Thomas IL. Mclean back
from Mexico, but this talk was all outside
the board. If they need another man it
will be one who shall be an executive head
to determine questions of policy that can
not be determined at long range from Phil
adelphia. TIL management of the service,
in which Mr.. Mclean eXcelfed, is conducted
by Mr.. Elliott.
The statement of the treasurer was APP
proved and numerous questions Of detail
were passed upon. The board did not de-
termine upon any extensions or repairs, but
IL was stated that various bits of track
would be repaired during the present sea-
son. Though the subject was not formally
taken up yesterday, ii is the understanding
among the directors that no extensions or
improvements of an expensive nature will
be undertaken during the next four years,
partly because they believe the present
lines are adequate to meet the needs of the
clty'S growth during that time, and partly
because they propose to run the system for
what there is in it until 1871, unless the
company should acquire a new franchise
in the meantime.
Lew Wallace, jr., as attorney for Church
sented a notice to the board embodying
the claim of his client. Both Mr.. Wallace
and the board declined to state the contents
of the document.
After their meeting the members of the
board were very retlcent about the future
policy of the company, further than to de-
clare that the service, which they believe
be kept up to the standard. On the ques-
ton of franchise they Jocularly. declared
that they were contemplating asking Oh the
city a. subsidy for giving such service.

Assistant Factory Inspector.

Factory Inspector McAbee yesterday ap-
pointed James e. Robinson, Of Lafayette,
as his assistant. Mr.. Robinson is employed
on the Lafayette Courier as a printer. He
will receive a salary of $1,000 a year and
his duties are to look after the routine
work of the office. He was recommended
for the Office by the labor unions of Vim
cennes and Lafayette. He is an old soldier
and served in the same regiment, Wilders
Brigade, as did Governor Mount. The APP
pointment was made on the merits of Rob-
inSon and he was selected from a host of
applicants. The appointment was made
without consulting the Governor, as he has
turned the whole matter over to Inspector
McAbee Mr.. Robinson held the rank of
lieutenant colonel in the army and was sta
toned in Colorado. Before going TO Colo
RADIO he was commissioned by Governor
Morton to take charge of the supplies at
Pittsburg Landing and at the battle of
Shiloh. Since leaving the army Mr.. Robin
son has worked steadily at his trade in
Lafayette and Nincennes.

BLOODY CUTTING AFFRAY.
Edward r. Taylor Badly Carved Up
by George Love.

Edward r. Taylor, twenty-five years old,
living at 164 Elizabeth street, was pretty
badly cut in a fight with a man named
George Love last night. The fight occurred
either in the saloon kept by Paul Bonner,
at the corner of Blake and Rhode Island
streets, or in the street in front Of the sa-
loon. The quarreling began in the saloon
at any rate. When the patrolmen who run
that district made their first round at s
O'Clock they saw two men in the saloon.
They seemed to be arguing over some
money which one owed the other. The
patrolmen went on their rounds, and in al
hour were informed at another place or
the beat that Taylor had been taken to the
City Hospital.
1t appears that the men quarreled and
went out into the street, where Taylor
struck at Love. The latter then whipped
out a knife and slashed his antagonist sew
eral times. There is one long but not deep
cash across the breast. An ugly cut is one
beginning at the lower lip and extending
to the chin bone. There is a bad cut on top
of the head. The police were unable up
to a late hour last night to find Love. His
name is not in the directory, and they could
find nobody who knew where he stayed. 1t
is said he worked in the Indiana bicycle
works until yesterday morning.

R~EHEARSALS ENSEMBLE.
Chorus and Orchestra VIII Work To-
gether This Year.

The music festival directors yesterday
made an arrangement with Mr.. Van der
Stucken which they think will add to the
artistic excellence Of the festival. In other
years there has been a lack of sufficient
rehearsals of the chorus and orchestra to-
gether, and the results have been in some
cases unsatisfactory. Although it adds ma
terially to the expense, the directors have
arranged with Mr.. Van der Stucken TO bring
the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra here
two days in advance of the oDening of the
festival so that there may be at least four
complete rehearsals of the chorus and or
chestra together in addition to those orig
inally provided for. The orchestra will
arrive mere next tuesday at noon and there
Will be rehearsals that afternoon and even
ing, as well as the regular rehearsals on
thursday morning and noon. AT the meet
ing or the directors 1t was decided that no
body should be admitted to these re-
hearsals except the singers, the festival
officers and representatives of the city pa
pers.
done by the chorus, together with the pro-
posed numerous rehearSals with the orches-
ira, will. 1t is believed, give better artistic
results than have ever before been attained
at an Indianapolis festival. The directors
and Mr.. Van der Stucken are particularly
anxious that the concerts snail be the best
ever given III the city, ana everything pos
sible VIII be done TO bring about this re-
suit.
The sale of season tickets, which has
been very large, closed last night, although
a few will be held out for out-of-town peo-
pie. To-day complete arrangements viii
be made for the sale of seats for single
concerts, which will begin at the Big Four

TIL board Of managers of the Southern
Hospital for the Insane is being troubled
with the sewerage problem at the institu-
tion. The sewers of the place have been
bad for some years and the recent LegisIa-
rure passed an act authorizing the build
ing of a new sewer system. Secretary
Bicknell, of the State Board of Charities,
has just returned from a visit TO the in
stilution ard he says that a way has been
found by which the sewerage may be dis
posed of on the hospital grounds so hat
the grounds into Evansville. one of these is
destroying the sewage by chemicals and the
other by filtration. h of destroying the
refuse by chemicals is considered the best
plan and it will probably be adopted. The
plan is to conduct the refuse into large
watts containing chemicals. The chemicals
will filter the water and make it clear and
the sediment viii be used for fertilizing
purnOseS.

FURTHER ACTION IN COURT.
HiIIigOss Demurrer Admitted and Re.
~ceivership Continued.


Judge Harvey took further action in the
affairs of the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of Indiana yesterday morning by adj
hitting the cross complaint of Kate Glen
ger, Hugh Needham, Elizabeth Needham
and Charlotte p. Needham, who, with Sui
livan Hilligoss, are represented by w. r.
Crawford and Merrill Moores. Early yes
terday morning the attorneys for these
people filed a demurrer against the original
complaint of the company, which asked
for a receiver. The demurrer was over
ruled, and the attorneys then introduced
the cross complaint of the same parties re-
questing that the receiver be appointed for
the alleged reason that the officers had not
been legally elected and had misappropri-
ated funds. The court made no objection to
this, and made an order showing that the
temporary receivership was based on this
cross complaint as we'll as the original COM
plant of the president of the company.
ATTORNEY Moores explained that his clients
had taken this action to prevent the officers
of the company from dissolving the re-
ownership, with might he done by dis
missal of the suit. The motion of e. T.
Huron TO discharge the receiver was over

But He Declares the Conversation

Was Purely Social.
Mayor Taggart had a talk with the new
directors of the street-car company yes
terday, and there was a rumor that some
thing more than a social discussion came of
the meeting. It was said that the question
of the future attitude of the city towards
the company was discussed, besides which
the question Of franchises was preached.
Last night the mayor declared that there
had beel no conference whatever. He
did say, however, that he had met the new
directors, but that the conversation was
only Of a social nature.
The gentlemen stopped at the Grand Ho-
tel, as you know. 1 met them in a purely
social way. Our talk was general, but as
to business, there was none of that what
ever
Mayor Taggart seemed to have been ia
vCrably impressed with the new directors.
He thought from his observation that they
were about as fine lot of men as ever
came from Philadelphia" He evidently
hopes that they will adopt a more popular
course and be less inclined to take every
thing in sight than their predecessors.
