Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, July 1-Senator Fair
banks and Representative Overstreet called
at the War Department to-day TO learn the
disposition of the secretary toward the
Indianapolis arsenal under the new law.
Secretary Root was not there, but General
Corbin said that very soon some sort Of an
official letter would be written which would
take formal notice Of the provisions OF the
new law. This will probably take the form
of a letter TO the commander of the Depart
ment of the Lakes. This will enable him 10
issue the necessary orders TO stop the pres
ent survey OF the arsenal property with the
intention of making of IL battalion post.
II is not expected that there will be any
thing done toward making the necessary
changes for some months. The change at
Indianapolis will have to wait the de-
partment. the same as the general changes
which are to be made in army posts. The
Indiana legislators feel that they leave
this matter in very good shape. and that
they have been more successful in securing
a satisfactory settlement than they ex-
pected.
Senator Fairbanks left for Indianapolis
with his family at o'clock this evening.
when he will go for two weeks rest to
his farm in Illinois. His trips to the farm
have been less frequent and very short
since he entered the Senate He enjoys his
visits TO the country 80 ,sis time Will
endeavor to remain two weeks seeking rest.
He has had a long season of hard work.
and while he is not particularly tired. says
that he feels that he has little vacation
coming to him.
Senator Allison to-day tried to patch up
the differences between Senators Bailey
and Beveridge. The Texas senator was
not disposed 10 make any apology, and
the matter was dropped. Senator Spooner
said II would have TO expire by the statute
OF limitation. Senator Beveridge feels
resentment, and is disposed 10 make light
of the matter. Senator Bailey feels only
embarrassment. he knows that he has
the unexpressed censure of his fellow-sen-
ators. He is stubborn. however. and not
disposed 10 take any fair action. This
morning the senator's freely expressed TO
Mr.. Beveridge their approval of his digni-
fed department under trying circum-
stances. He has received several hundreds
OF kilograms expressing commendation of
his action. The senators were quite will
ing TO have official notice taken of the as
sault but it was decided by the older heads
that it was better to let the matter drop.
Senator Beveridge went to Philadelphia
this evening, where he will remain a day
or two on business. He will return to In
dianapolis by the way of New York.
James S. Barcus. of Terre Haute, is at
the New Willard. Commenting on state
politics Mr.. Barcus said this evening that
OUTSIDE Of Indiana there was a feeling
among many people that there was con-
slant fght between Senators Fairbanks and
Beveridge. There is no foundation" said
Mr.. Barcus. FOR any such stories. The
people OF Indiana are with our senators
and they are in accord and working to-
gether for the best interests of the partv
Senator Fairbanks will be returned to the
Senate without opposition. The prospects
are very good for a splendid victory this
fall. The Indiana Democrats are divided
and the Bryan wing OF the Democracy is
sore because the recent state convention
refused 10 indOrse him. Senator Beveridge
has gained considerable prestige in the
State and he is stronger than ever with the
people.
