WASHINGTON. March 26.!Another brief

Mr.. Gallinger presented several forms is
sued by the Civil-service Commission TO

his statement had been challenged by sew

the Civil-service Commission. The senator
read the hopping" provision and several
otter questions as 10 the weight and height
of tyPesetters. which he characterized as
absurd. Referring 10 the size and weight

A LOCAL BEER TRUST.
One Reported Organized-The Smith
Brewers Ordinance.

1t is claimed that the brewers ordinance
introduced by Mr.. Smith by request during
the last session Of the Council is one which
will lave the effect of merely taxing the
Metzger Bottling Company. and. further.
will cause the city to receive only $1,000 in
stead Of $4,000 as annual tax upon the In
dianapolis Brewing Company. 1t is insist
ed that the wording of the ordinance will
permit the Indianapolis Company
TO pay but one license for its three brewer
les instead of for three breweries. From
the same source comes a claim that the cry
is being raised that barrel houses and
wholesale liquor men will have TO pay this
tax. in order to divert attention from the
real points of the ordinance, when in fact
they will not have to pay it. 1t is said that
the ordinance applies to only those whole
sale dealers who handle malt liquors, and
exempts them where the beer which they
handle comes from a brewery which has
paid the license. In this manner the Metz
ger Company. which bottles outside beer,
would have to pay.
1t is reported that all the brewers and
formed a trust in order to regulate the
price of beer and commissions. The Madi-
son Brewing Company. which moved its
plant to West Indianapolis when the $1,000
tax ordinance was passed, Will have to pay
this fee when West Indianapolis is taken
into the city. April 1. or move again. The
Madison mpa brews ale principally,
and claims the 81. 900 fee make ii too costly
for il TO conduct its plant in this city.

No DEFINITE RESULTS.
Members of Mr.. Hnnna's Committee
Confer with Speaker Reed.

WASHINGTON. March 26.-The members
Of the committee on legislation which was
appointed by the indianapolis monetary
convention of last summer called on
Speaker Reed to-day and talked with him
concerning legislation for currency and
banking reform. The spokesman of the
delegation were George Foster Peabody. of
New York; John p Irish, of San Fran
cisco. and H.. H.. Hanna. of indianapolis.
They spoke OF the desirability of the pas
sage of a bill authorizing the President to
appoint a commission to investigate the
banking and currency system of the coun-
try and to recommend hange III any bill
embOdying "A system which was acceptable
to the business interests of the country
could be passed they would indorse such
legislation without the creation of any COM
mission. The need of changes in the pres
ent banking system which would insure a
more plentiful and elastic supply of circu-
lation for farming districts remote from
the cities was the principal point that they
urged in support of their movement.
Mr.. Reed told the committee that the pas
sage of the tariff bill was the first and
principal work cut out for this session of
Congress. Congress rarely moved faster
than the people in matters of legislation.
he said, and when public sentiment became
crystallized in favor of any particular form
OF financial legislation Congress would be
apt to respond with little delay. If the peo-
ole demanded changes in the banking sys-
tenn and brought pressure to bear on Con
gress they would secure the changes. The
conference was informal and pleasant, but
had no definite results.

Morgar's Reply to Cremer.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-When Sena-
tor Morgan's attention was called to the
Associated Press dispatch from London re-
flecting on the senator's course in connec-
ton with the arbitrA.ion treaty. he said:
Mr.. Cremer misstates facts when he says
that | sent a message to President Cleve-
land by him. Why should have taken
that course of communicating with the
President when / was perfectly at liberty
to see him in my own behalf? Mr.. Cremer
did come to sec me. and / yielded reluctant
ly to an interview with him on the question
of arbitration. but | told him very frankly
in that interview that the people of this
country would never submit 70 the arbitra-
ton of American questions by any board,
the majority of which was composed of
Europeans. and thus indicated the Difficult
ties in the way of securing a plan of arbi-
tratfon which would be such in substance
and not in name only. | told him, il is true.
that | Endorsed the principle of arbitration.
We all agree. l believe. upon our indorse-
ment of this principle when that resort is
proper, but IL is a different matter when il
comes to uniting on the details OF a plan for
putting the principle into universal opera
ton. | have realized this difficulty from
the beginning. and. consequently. never
volunteered to MI. Crener or any one else
my support of an arbitration treaty at any
time. Certainly / would not have done so

not present. that when Mr.. Cremer was be-
fore the committee on foreign relations he
was asked why Parliament did not take the
initiative if il was anxious for universal ar
bitration. and that his reply was to the eff
feet that If the United States would take

A British VI. II. Accuses the Senator
of Double Dealing. -3

LONDON. March 26.-An interview is
published here with Mr.. VIM. r.. Cremer.
formerly member of Parliament for the
Haggerston division of Shoreditch CRadi-
cab. Who has for years past been secretary
OF the international Arbitration League,
and who is editor of the society's organ,
the Arbitrator. Mr.. Cremer is quoted as
saying that he considers it inadvisable TO
ratify the amended arbitration treaty. He
adds that the British government will al
most certainly refuse to accept the treaty
in its emasculated form. and asserts there
is good reason to hope that in a few months
1t will be carried as originally proposed.
Continuing. Mr.. Cremer says he will be
greatly surprised if the Americans do not
make their voice heard in such a way as to
induce the Senate to alter its proposition
before the next session. He adds: There
is no doubt Senator Morgan is the chief OBJ
stacle. When in Washington L had a talk
with President Cleveland relative to arbi-
tration. and Mr.. Cleveland suggested
sounding the Senate. | saw Senator Nor
gan. who expressed warm approval Of the
principle. Tell the President he said.
that If he sends a treaty to US | will get il
through the committee in forty-eight
hours l reported this to Mr.. Cleveland.

SEEKING ANNEXATION.
Hawaiian Call ON Secretary Sher-
Man-Lectnre by General Foster.

WASHINGTON. March 26.-It is said to
he probable that formal application for an
nexation to the United States probably will
be made soon by the government of Hawaii
through It's minister to the United States.
The application will be presented TO the
State Department and 1t is expected will
be transmitted TO Congress. Ex-Minister
Thurston. Attorney General Smith and
General Hartwell. of Hawaii, nave been
here ever since Inauguration in the interest
of annexation. Mr.. Hatch. the Hawaiian
minister, and Mr.. Smith saw the President
yesterday and Mr.. Mckinley listened to the
arguments in favor of annexation.
Messrs Hatch and smith also have seen
Secretary Sherman in regard to the ques-
ton of annexation and presented to him
arguments in its favor. They decline to
discuss the attitude of the President or his
premier on the subject. except to say that
the situation is encouraging. Everything.
said Minister Hatch. Is as yet in a tenta-
tive shape and nothing formal has been
done. Attorney General Smith. who has
been in the city several weeks. will start
next week on his return TO the islands.
Hon. John w. Foster. formerly secretary
OF state, lectured here tonight on the sub
jet OF MIR. Foster was premier
during the latter portion of President Har-
rison's administration when the treaty of
annexation of the Hawaiian islands was
sent TO the Senate and the expectation that
he would have something to say on that
feature attracted a large audience, includ-
ing the representatives OF the Hawaiian
government now in this city. The ex-sec-
rotary came out in emphatic terms in favor
OF the annexation Of the stands. He said
the present government there is as fully a
de facto and de Jure government as its pre-
decessors, that we have a strong equitable
claim TO the islands, that the United States
has by means OF the reciprocity treaty
brought life and prosperity TO the islands,
GRABBED iis merchants and planters to grow
rich at our expense. He asserted that the
Americans of Hawaii are loyal and pa
triotic sons of the fatherland and declared
II would be a cruel and undersigned fate

night and robbed of everything OF value
which could easily be carried off,. The fam

ON GENERAL PRINCIPLES.


David Johnson, about sixty years of age,
was convicted in the riminal Court yester-
day. Ee was arrested shortly after the
residence of ID. c. Hit, of No. l9 Broad
way, was robbed. last December. When
Johnson was arrested he had Mr.. Hit 5
overcoat and watch. A number of other
articles supposed 10 have been stolen We're
found in his room. also "A crucible. like
those used by jewelers. in melting precious
metals. There was little doubt that john
san was q bad man. although there was
little evidence TO connect him directly with
the robbery of the Hit home. When the
case was being argued Prosecutor Wiltsie
pleaded for q long term or for Johnson :
release. He said he would rather il should
go out that johnson had been acquitted
than that ne had received such a light sem
tence as TO amount TO nothing. The jury
needed the plea and found Johnson guilty
of petit larceny, placing the penalty at
three years.
