WASHINGTON, July 22-Unusual insur-

resources of the Navy Department in the

capital, is expected by the government, and
the President may go there from BARGE
Iona, instead of to Caracas, as he original
ly intended.
The three United States warships on the
Venezuelan coast are kept moving with
celebrity to put in an appearance at the
ports where disturbances are threatened.
Meanwhile a cry came to-day for ship at
HAITI In the shape of a cabegram from
Minister Livingstone, at Cape Haitien, who
reports that the troops and Haitien war
ships are approaching to attack and bonn
bard the cape. There is a good deal of ap-
prehension among the foreigners for their
safety. In view of the emergency Secre
tary Moody. in a cablegram this afternoon
to Commander McCrea, of the gunboat
Machias. now at Colon. directed him to pro-
coed with that vessel to Cape Haitien. Or
ders also were sent to the gunboat Marietta
directing her to proceed to Colon to take
the place of the Machias cas- soon as she
has finished her present work on the Vene-
Zuelan coast.
The departure of the Marietta will re-
duce our representation in Venezuelan
waters to the Cincinnati and Topeka. The
Mach1aS has a detachment of marines on
board and these, together with the sailors
themselves, stand ready to make up land
ing party in case il is needed at Cape
Haitien. The Marietta also has small
marine guard aboard which can serve the
same purpose If necessary at Colon. Cape
Haitien is about a thousand miles from
Colon and the Machias probably will not
arrive there until next Monday, as a strong
wind at this season of the year blows di-
rectly down her course, making progress

ELWOOD Ind, July 22.-Rev. Elhanan
McGregor, a minister Of the Holiness. or
some of its kindred sects, last night
achieved the distinction Of being the first
minister of the gospel to be placed behind
the bars of the new city Jail McGregor
left his family here some time ago and has
been in Michigan. Last week he was called
here to attend the funeral of his son, Scott
McGregor, who died under suspicious cir
cumstances in a hotel at Alexandria. Last
night he went TO the family home and
created such a disturbanc that il was
necessary TO send for officer, one of his
daughters being struck with heavy lamp
in the fracas. Through the efforts OF
Mayor Harbit and friends of the family
the case was compromised this morning,
McGregor signing away his rights in the
property he and his wife Jointly owned
here and agreeing TO leave the city and not
further modest her. He was released and
probably will return TO Michigan.

convention thereupon selected Newark. n.

liens Of this city telegraphed the Indi-

should decline 10 hold the festival the
executive committee be authorized TO Sc
lect the place where il shall be held, but
that Indianapolis should be selected if pos
sible. Unofficial but reliable private in
formation from Newark is that the socie-
ties there have resolved to decline the
honor and the selection of the festival city
will soon rest with the executive commit
tee. 1t is understood the committee is hes
itating to select this city on account Of the
magnitude of the undertaking. At the
last festival, which took place two years
ago in Philadelphia, about $50 teams, coming
from all parts of the Union, participated
in the athletic prize contests 1t is not a
small matter to lodge feed and entertain
so many people. However, indianapolis
has grown to be large city. and the ex-
ecutve committee should be encouraged
to stand by the first selection of the con-
vention of the Turner's. 1t was an honor
to the city. and the next great festival
should be held here. indianapolis will
surely welcome the Turner's of the United
States

MORE DEMOCRATIC REORGANIZA-
TTON.

The latest plan for reorganizins the Dem
ocratic party comes from the Bryan wing
and is evidently intended TO check the re-
cent aggressiveness OF the gold Democrats.
The plan of the latter. as outlined at the
Tilden Club banquet, was 10 reorganize
the party TO the exclusion OF Organism and
Populism. i Bryan and his personal fol-
lowers and the Populists desired to march
in the Democratic army they could do so.
but it must be as followers. not as lead
ers. and they must leave all their impedi-
menta OF Bryanistic and Populistic ideas
behind. The new plan is quite different
IL proposes to reorganize the party on lines
that will compel sold Democrats TO take
back seats. and Will still extend the glad
hand TO the Populists. Indeed. Populist
leaders like former Senator Pettigrew. OF
South Dakota. are TO be charter members
of the reorganization party The god
fathers OF the proposed new party have
had conference I'm New York and issued
a prospectus OF their plan The only con-
cessions they make Is that free silver shall
not be an issue and Mr. Bryan will not be
candidate again for President. at least
not in 1904. but he must have great deal
20 say about the platforms, the issues and
the management or the party. This means
that the fight against Grover Cleveland
and his followers is TO be kept I'D. which.

LOGANSPORT. Ind. July 22.-The Lo-

Company, unable TO make terms with An
drew J. Murdoch to purchase private
right of way through his land for its line
to Spencer Park. to-day petitioned the
County Commissioners for right of way
on the highway. The Company offered
Murdoch $1,000 an acre, but he asked that
his attorneys be paid another $1,000 addi-
tional. which the company declined to do.
The commissioners will meet tomorrow and
probably will grant the petition.
In Murdock's refusal to sell has been the
only hope of the Boyd syndicate TO block
the construction of an opposition line TO
the park, the L.. r. & n. having secured all
other necessary rights. When the line Is
completed the Union Traction Company,
of which the L., r. Il n. is part, will have
an entrance from the east and will be In
a position TO compete for local business.

by Mr. Pettlgrew is doubtless the one that
will be given by the leaders OF the new
Bryan Democracy, that the scarcity OF
money having been made good by the great
increase OF gold circulation there is no
longer any need Of the increase that would
have been afforded by free silver. This is
a new dodge. The Bryanites knew in 1896
and in 1900 that free silver instead Of in

driving gold out. The pretense that pros

Traction Troubles at Wabash

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WABASH. Ind, July 22.-The route con-
test between the Fort Wayne e. South
western Traction Company and the City
Council has reached a critical point. The
traction company desires to enter by way
Of the Big Four yard outskirts and Water
street, along the canal. The Council, &C
cording to the original request. granted
route down Main street, which takes the
company a short distance from the Big
Four depot and over a hill. General Man
ager Nelson to-day put a force of men
building TO the Big Four depot on the
route now desired. and said the company
would stop there and not enter Wabash If
refused the route they ask On the old
route 1t would be forced to the Big
Four tracks. The Big -Four is fighting this.

trolley line reach it's depot. there being no
competition, it is claimed by some that the
two roads are in league 10 force the Coun-
Gil to rescind the action. On the other
hand both roads claim the crossing would
be dangerous and not permitted by the
courts. The first car will reach Wabash on
Friday.

give a new application to government by
injunction. Having been dismissed from a
clerkship i'm the War Department for in
subordination and conduct deemed preju-
dicial to the public service. she has OBJ
tanned from a local judge in Washington
a rule ordering the secretary of war to
show cause why a peremptory mandamus
should not be issued requiring him to re-
instate her. If Miss Taylor succeeds in
getting back into the civil service by this
route her next step will probably be TO
have the secretary of war removed by

The farewell audience given by the Pope
to Governor Taft and his party was evil
IDENTIFY an interesting function. but its most
significant feature was it's elaborate cere-
monialness. The whole machinery Of the
papaI establishment seems to have been
brought into use. including the master of
ceremonies, Swiss guards, gendarmes, Vail
can disnitaries I'm official robes, etc. AS
Governor Taft is plain American citizen
this was uncalled for. True, he was there
on a very important business mission but
he was not accredited as an ambassador,
minister plenipotentiary anything of
that kind. The state pomp was probably
adopted TO give color to the theory that
the negotiation is a recognition on the part
Of the United States of the political power
of the Vatican. If the Pope and his coun-
sellers get any comfort out of this pleasing
fiction there is no reason why they should
not indulge it, but they will find that Uncle
Sam does not share in that view. He sim
ply has an eye to business.
