MORE THAN THEIR SHARE.
Indianians Have 06 CIerkships i'm the
Treasury Department..

Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Eov. 24.-The secretary
of the treasury has prepared statement
giving a classification by States of the 2,509
employees in the department proper, to-
gether with an exhibit showing how many
appointments the several States are entitled
to. Indiana has been we'll taken care of, 1t
would appear as, according to Mr.. Cages
schedule, she is only entitled to eighty-eight
clerkships and now has upon the rolls
ninety-six, an excess of eight Illinois has
been getting it where the turkey is just
now experiencing the thrust of the knife
the Prairie State being entitled to 1853, and
is only credited with 113 clerkships Doubt
less Secretary Gage will fix this little in
equality before his term expires. The Dis
trict Of Columbia bears away the blue rib
bon. The district is credited with 1896 ap-
pointnents, and is only entitled to nine.
Maryland, which is entitled to forty-one
appointments, has in fact $50, showing that
there is nothing like living near the seat of
government when it comes to obtaining
pap Maine 1t is shown, has a surplus
of twenty-six, and Virginia forty-six.
Texas and Missouri have each a deficiency
of fifty-three. These are not the most
glaring instances of inequality. 1t is not
the intention of the department to imme-
diately equalize the appointments, but the
statement will serve to repress the greed Of
applicants from States that have more APP
pointments than they are entitled to.

RECIPROCITY NEGoTIATIoNs.
What the United States Demands in
Return for COncessiOns to France.

WASHINGTON, Nov 24.-French Ambas-
sador M. Patenotre has received cable
gram from his government requesting him
TO start for Paris on Saturday night. Ac-
cordingly he will present his letters Of recall
to President Mckinley on Friday, sailing
the next day on the French liner, La Cham
pagne. M Patenotre will remain some time
in Paris before proceeding to his new post
at Madrid This will afford him an cppor-
tunity for comforting with the Paris au-
thorities and with the new ambassador to
the United States, M. Cambon, on pending
American questions. 1t had been hoped
that the reciprocity negotiations between
France and the United States would be
closed before M. Patenotres departure, but
this will be impossible. The terms of the
proposed convention have been practically
settled, but the French government thus
far has not given its assent to the chief fea-
ture of the arrangement, namely, the alb
rogation of the present exclusion of Amer
lean cattle from France and the admission
of such cattle under certain restrictions.
The United States has insisted on this as an
equivalent for the reciprocity concessions
on French champagne, vermcuth, statuary,
paintings and brandy, contemplated by the
agreement On these articles France will

duties AS against this no special conces-
sion on particular articles are given by
France, as the United States now receives
the benefit of the minimum schedule of the
French tariff law. Under these circum-
stances the authorities here felt that the
time was Opp0rtune for securing the adj
mission of American cattle to France
The exclusion began about ten years ago.
when most of the large European countries
put up rigid barriers against American cat
tie hogs, etc, on the ground that they were
infected with contagious diseases The
State and Agricultural departments have
long sought to overcome the restriction
and have succeeded in a measure. Great
Britain and Germany have partially modl-
fed the exclusion allowing the cattle to
be landed, then slaughtered at once and the
meat rigidly inspected. Up to the present
time, however, the French government has
maintained a st let exclusion In d1ing this
however, they have insisted that they were
doing the same as the United States gov
ernment, as the present tariff law provides
for a positive exclusion of all foreign cat

Will STAY IN CHINA.
Germans VIII Permanently Use kinO-
Chau as a Naval station.

BERLIN, Nov. 24-The appointment of
Admiral Won Diedrich to command the COM
bined German squadrons in Chinese waters,
and Of Prince Henry of Prussia to assume
command of the second German squadron
on the coast of China, consisting Of the
Kaiserin Augusta, the Deutschland and the
Gehon, which three vessels will probably
start for Kiao-Chau bay about Dec. 10 next,
are officially confirmed.
Emperor William is credited with the in
ception of the proposed naval demonstra-
tion in Chinese waters. The suddenness of
the appointment Of Admiral Won Diedrich
and Prince Henry is shown by the fact that
only a. week ago the Prince was appointed
inspector Of the navy, post in which he is
now replaced by Baron Bodenhausen, the
commander of the imperial yacht Hohen-
zollern. No German prince has ever had an
active naval command so far from home.
The two squadrons will consist of eight ves-
sells and $500 men. 1t is semi-officially de-
clared that the pending diplomatic negotia-
tions will be conducted at Peking and not
at Berlin. The new Chinese minister to
Germany was just on the point OF starting
for Germany, but on the occupation or
Kiao-Chau, the Pexing authorities counter
manded his departure.
On good authority it is said that Germany
is negotiating with the great powers AoI q
permanent occupation of the bay as naval
station. The negotiations promise to be sue
cessful. The Haiti difficulty has disappeared
in the background, in view of the weighty
Chinese movement. The semi-official organs
regard it as settled, and acknowledge the
friendly attitude of the United States,
which has materially assisted the settle-
ment.'
The German squadron at Kiao-Chau bay
is commanded by Admiral Diedrich and
consists of the flagship Kaiser, with GA
men; the second-class cruisers Irene and
Princess Wilhelm, with 25S men each, and
the third-class cruiser Arcosa, having
crew of 265. The Kaiserin Augusta is first
class cruiser, carrying a crew of 427 men,
the Deutschland is a secondclasS battle
ship, having a complement of 6SS men, and
the Gefon is a second-class cruiser, with a
crew of 312 men.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24,-Hon. Francis
NJ. Hatch, the Hawaiian minister, returned
to the city tonight after an absence of sew
eral months, the greater portion of which
was spent in Honolulu. Mr.. Hatch de-
scribes affairs as being very quiet and sat
isfactory in Honolulu, and the people are
thinking more of business than of politics.
Mr.. Hatch says the negotiations between
the Hawaiians and the Japanese with a
view to the settlement of the differences
between the two governments by arbitra-
ton are still in progress. The minister
looks for q satisfactory solution of the
trouble.

eral of customs of Hawaii, has been ap-

The President,s Visitors.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2-There was an
unusually large number of people at the

TALKING MACHINES MUST GO.
Photographs Included in the Ban
Against NickeI-in-the-SIot Devices.

OMAHA. Neb., Nov. 24.-As result of the
action of the City Council in repeating the
ordinance licensing the nickel-in-the-slot
machines very few of the devices are to be
seen in Omaha to-day. Two thousand one
hundred and twenty-three machines We're
taken out to-day. In connection with the
order given out by the police last night all
the machines used for the selling of mer-
chandise, such as chocolate and cigars, to-
gether with the phonograph machines, were
included. This provoked considerable op-
position on the part of the owners of the
phonograph machines, as they contend their
property is not to be classed as gambling
devices. Nevertheless, pending a settle
ment of the question the order was obeyed
and the merchandise apparatus was not in
use to-day. The phonograph company will
probably take steps to stop the abolition of
its machines. The agent says he thinks the
order as interpreted by the police does his
company great injustice and makes worth
less a large quantity of valuable property
AS to the refunding of licenses little trouble
as yet has been incurred. The city will re-
fuse to return the money. Ten dollars was
received for each machine.

as Guide, Philosopher and Friend.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2.-Dr. Charles H
Hughes has Just presented his bill for
services to the estate of the late veteran
editor Joseph b. McCullagh. The aggre-
gate amount of the bill is $6,065, and young
physicians whose time is not, like that of
DR.. Hughes, worth $40 an hour may study
it with advantage. 1t shows that a med
ical man may be also TO his patient a
guide, philosopher and friend, and that un-
der each of these heads he is entitled to
remuneration.
The bill is a curiosity for iaymen. as well
as an educator to young doctors. 1t was
filed with the public administrators, and,
as Mr.. McCullagh was worth nearly
$l,0OO,O00 it will no doubt be paid. In the

authorizes their admission from particular
countries. The pending proposition is in
substance that American cattle shall be
admitted at all French ports, shall then be
slaughtered within twenty-four hours from
pass an inspection before being offered in
the French markets. This is not all the
authorities would like TO secure. as the
twenty-four hours limit does not afford
adequate time for fattening the cattle after
they come from the seventies of an ocean
trip. The main consideration, however, is
to remove the barrier itself, and 1t is hoped
that France will concede this as a part of
the agreement. M. Patenotre was not pre-

HONOLULU, Nov. II, via San Francisco,
Nov. 24.-The presence of Princess Kaiu-
lani is not satisfactory to the adherents of
the deposed Queen as they believe that the
young woman has returned for the purpose
of starting a boom for herself at the ex-
pense of the former Queen. Kaiulanis sup
porters claim that in the event of a refusal
on the part of Congress to annex Hawaii.
she will stand good chance of being
placed on the throne under a limited mon
archy. The princess has been giving public
receptions at her home and in other ways
trying to make herself popular.

half whites, and A. Marques, a white man,
