GENERAL CURTIS ANGRY.
He Is Reported to Have Called Gen.
Ames a. "Craven-Hearted Coward"

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The battle of Fort
Fisher which was fought on Jan. 10, 1865,
was the occasion of an exceedingly acri-
monious discussion ct the banquet of the
New York Commandery of the military or
der of the Loyal Legion last night. Gen.
A A Ames of Lowell, Mass, was the
guest of honor, and he read a paper on
the capture of Fort Fisher. In the discus
sion which followed Gen. y. Nj. Curtis,
member of Congress from the Twenty-sec-
ond (Ogdensburg) district. and who partici-
pated in the battle in question. took issue
with the statements. made by General
Ames. He asked the privilege of defend
ing himself against what he called asper-
sions of his military record, and ended up,
it is said. by calling General Ames
"craven-hearted coward" Gen. Wager
Swayne restored peace for the time being
by suggesting that General Curtis prepare
a paper, giving his side of the question. to
be read at future meeting. Gen. Horace
Porter, who presided, denied to-day that
General Curtis had applied the terms
quoted to General Ames, but he admitted
that there was lively time at the
banquet.
A dispatch from Washington says: Gen.
Curtis tonight emphatically denied that he
had used the words coward, liar or cur,
which have been attributed 10 him in news
paper reports. When asked for a detailed
statement in regard TO the matter General
Curtis spoke substantially as follows:
General AmeS'S paper contained very
severe STRUCTURES upon General Terry. who
commanded the successful expedition
against Fort Fisher and some statements
very uncomplimentary in relation to the
part performed by him (Curtis.) These
statements of General Ames were SO un-
welcome to the members of the COM
mandery that several times during the
reading of the paper his (Curtis's) name was
vocferously cheered by the commandery
generally. At the close of General Ames's
statement the demand was general and en-
phatic for him (Curtis) TO respond at once
and he was recognized by the commander,
General Porter, TO make a statement This
statement was made in plain and direct
terms diSputing some OF the assertions
which had been made by General AmeS con-
cerning General Terry and himself (Curtis.)
Here General Curtis added that he did not
make use Of the words coward, liar or
cur"
General Curtis further said that he did
not ask TO defend himself, but distintly
stated that he would take care OF himself
and his reputation when the proper time
came; that he disputed in plain and dis
tinct terms the unjustifable assault on the
memory of General Terry and also several
references made by Ames TO himself (Cur-
tis) The incident closed with an invitation
for General Curtis TO prepare and read
paper before the society on the capture OF
Fort Fisher and this. General Curtis says,
he intends TO do.

MILLIONAIRE HELD CAPTIVE.
Kept Drugged and Forced to- Sign
Checks for Large Sums OF Money.

MONTREAL, Feb. 4.-The police report a
queer story of the alleged KIDNAPPING and
imprisonment in this city of q man named
Richardson, supposed to be an American
millionaire, from the northern part of New
Hampshire. There came to Montreal some
time ago a couple who announced them
selves as Mr.. and Mrs. Stanton. of New
York. There was with them a slight, dark
man, about fifty years old, who was never
allowed to leave the fashionable house
where they lived, or to see any one who
by chance should call. This man was Rich
ardson, the American millionaire. 1t is said
he was always kept under the influence of
a powerful drug and in this semi-rational
condition his captors forced him to write
checks for large sums of money. An agent
OF the millionaire came here about two
weeks ago to find him. The police say this
agent saw the Stanrons, but they had their
victim well hidden and told the agent they
knew nothing about him. The trio disap-
peared few hours before the detectives
finally decided to search the house The
detectives divided i'm their opinion as
to where the mysterious trio have gone
The police say Stanton's real name is
Frazer, and that he is an ex-Methodist
preacher, formerly of the New York Con-
ference.

NO SHOW FOR HANNA.
Bushnell, 1t Is Said, Will Appoint
Jones as Sherman,s SUCCESSOR.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 4-Careful inquiry
among the more intimate friends and politi-
cal advisers of Mr.. NJ. A. Hanna to-day &C.
veloped the fact that there is good ground
for the reports which have been in circula-
ton during the past few days TO the effect
that the national chairman will not be ap-
pointed to fill the place of Senator John
Sherman in the United States Senate. In
fact, it can be stated on unquestionable au-
thority that Mr.. Hanna has practically
abandoned al hope OF securing the appoint
ment. A gentleman who stands as close to
Mr.. Hanna as any person in Cleveland said
to-day that there was no doubt that Gov
ernor Bushnell would appoint Lieutenant
Governor Jones to fill the unexpired term
session of the Legislature, which convenes
himself be candidate for the full term. 1t
is further stated on the same authority thar
Lieutenant Governor Jones has agreed not
to be a candidate for the full term in oppo-
sition TO Bushnell, and that the fight viii
be then strictly between Bushnell and Han
ma. The gentleman who gave this informa
ton, and whose knowledge on the subject
cannot be doubted. said that the fight be-
tween National Chairman Hanna and Ser
ator Foraker would now be carried on TO
the bitter end and would. he said not be
by any means confined TO State politics.
The report that Mr.. Hanna is being strong

also verified. but thus far. 1t is stated. he
has stoutly declined to enter the Cabinet In

The Chairman's Deposition in the
Pittsburg Criminal Libel Cases.

PITTSBURG. Feb. 4.-When the libel
cases of State Senators Magee and Flynn
against the Commercial Gazette and Press
of this city were called in the Criminal
Court this afternoon, d. f. Patterson at
toney for the defense, asked for contin-
uance on account of illness The deposition
of National Chairman Hanna, who was
present as witness, was then taken and
the continuance granted. In his deposition
Mr.. Hanna denied that he ever had at any
time an agreement with the plaintiffs or
any one for them by which they agreed to
give their support TO the nomination of
William Mckinley for the presidency of
the United States; that he never had any
conversation with them as to a pecunary
reward for their support of Mr.. Mckinley,
and never in the most remote way held out
any money inducements to them In return
for their support. To the question whether
the defendants had asked for the control of
patronage in return for their support of
Mr.. Mckinley either before or after the
election. Mr.. Hanna replied: They never
did" On the day the alleged libelous ar
ticles were published Mr.. hanna said he
was at home and had been there constantly

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-The several OBJ
struction elements in the Senate have ar
rived at understanding and are con-
certedly working for the promotion of talk
ing matches on any and everything that
can be brought up to kill time. Half of the
session to-day was consumed in discussing
the bill to stop the sale of alcoholic liquors
in the Capitol restaurant and more time
will be taken at another session. Liquor
will be sold, no matter whether the bill
passes or not, the only issue being whether
the business is to be carried on openly or
on the 'speak-easy'' plan, with. committee
room and cloakroom alliances. There is
settled determination to prevent action, If
possible, important general legislation.
and time-killing debates are the weapons
agreed on to accomplish that result. Only
four weeks of the session remain and three
weeks OF that period can easily be taken
up in discussion of the appropriation bills.
This situation practically insures the de-
feat or failure of the railroad anti-scalping
bill, the Nicaragua canal BILL all Pacific
Railroad bills and possibly the bankruptcy
bill, as well as the ratification of the arbi-
tration treaty and the confirmation of
about three hundred vacation appointments
to federal jobs.
The immigration bill, stripped of the feat
ures that are understood to be objection
able to the President, may be permitted to
pass, although its opponents say tonight
that its reference back to the conference
committee will give them sufficient leeway
to compass its defeat by the employment
of parliamentary tactics. The steamship
lobby is boisterously joyful over Senator
Lodges retreat this afternoon.
