WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-A medal of
honor for gallant service performed i'm
mediately after the battle of Nashville dur
ing the civil war probably will be awarded
to ID. w. Comstock, of Richmond, judge of
the Appellate Court.
Application for the medal has been made
in Judge Comstock's behalf by Col. George
w. Jackson. of Tacoma, Wash, who COM
manded the Ninth Indiana Cavalry. The
papers have been placed in the hands of
Senator Beverage, who will submit them
to the secretary of war with the recon-
mendation that appropriate action be
taken.
Colonel Jackson forwards a narrative of
the deed of heroism Of Judge Comstock
which. he thinks, is entitled to recognition.
He states that while in pursuit of Hoods
army after the engagement at Nashville his
horse reared and plunged, throwing him
into a ditch, disabling him and preventing
his escape. Comstock, who was adjutant,
went TO his assistance, and I'm the face of q
whitening fire from the enemy, rescued the
colonel at the risk of his life. Colonel
Jackson states that the deed was a daring
one, for which Adjutant Comstock was
highly commended by his superior officers.
The case will be submitted to the board
in the War Department having Jurisdiction
over such matters.

SPOONER AND MORGAN
TILT IN THE SENATE
Spirited Discussion of Panama
Canal Question and Defense
of President.
SATAN AND SCRIPTURES

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1S.-The Panama
canal question again to-day was the upper
most topic in the Senate. and Mr.! Spooner
spoke on that subject during the greater
portion Of the days session. He discussed
many phases of the subject. sustaining the
course of the President throughout the
proceedings resulting in the independence
of Panama. He also contended for the
superiority of the Panama route over that
OF Nicaragua.
Mr.. Spooner was interrupted frequently
by Mr.. Morgan. who took issue with the
statement relative 10 a sea level canal,
~contending that the tides in that vicinity
are such as TO render a s~ea-level waterway
almost out of the question. Mr. Morgan de
clared that two canals, one or them at
Nicaragua, could be built as economically
as could one tidewater canal at Panama
And" said Mr.. Spooner, interrupting. II
have no doubt that when the time comes
Nicaragua and Costa Rica Will be delighted
TO make the proper concessions
Il don't know" replied Mr.. Morgan,
that they will be delighted, but they can
by the use of guns Mr.. Spooner sug-
gested.
Mr.. Morgan responded by saying that
such an agreement could be. secured by
this government las easily as 1t could build
a new Republic at Panama
Mr.. Spooner defended the President
against the charges that he had violated
the Spooner act in failing TO take the
| Nicaragua route when Columbia failed 10
accept the Hay-Herran treaty. II he had
taken that course, Mr.. Spooner declared
that there would have been senator's 10
reprove the President for his strenuous
haste in turning his back on a route In
| favor of which Congress had made a SOL
emn declaration"
| Later on Mr.. Spooner said that the sena-
tor from Alabama was the only American
quoted while the treaty was under consider
alton at Bogota.
That replied Mr.. Morgan, without ris-
ing from his seat, lis not the first time
| that Satan was ever accused of quoting
scripture"
Mr.. Spooner said that he had observed
that whenever our ships were in the vlcin-
ity there were also French ships there. Il
have no doubt" he. said, IF on Aug. II
the President had abandoned Panama and
gone to Nicaragua there would still have
been ships there. although they would not
have been ours"
What would they have done?' Mr.. Nor
gan asked.
They would have taken care of French
interests just as all governments are ex-
pected &c protect their interests, Mr..
Spooner replied. Without concluding Mr..
| Spooner suspended his remarks.
Early in the day Mr.. Tillman moved to
reconsider the tie vote of last Monday
by which the bill to grant Sl5O,0O to former
| Queen Lilioukalani was defeated. but furth-
| er consideration Of the matter was not
pressed at the time.
The Senate adjourned until Saturday on
account of Mr.. Hanna's funeral, which
takes place tomorrow.

BOOM FOR MENZIES
AMUSES THE MAJOR
Mount Vernon Man Says His Wife
Expects to Get Plenty OF Fun
Out of the Situation.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Maj. @. V.
Menzies, of Mount Vernon, does not take
very seriously the vice presidential boom
launched in his behalf by John L. Lamb, Of
Terre Haute
The presidency is an office neither to be
sought nor declined" said Major Menzies
with a twinkle in his eye. 1.-The same is
true of the vice presidency"
Major Menzies is telling his Washing
ton friends about an incident that recently
happened in his own home. My wife called
my attention. he said, Ito an item in a
paper connecting my name with the
vice presidential nomination. / told her
not TO pay any attention to it. She replied
that she proposed to get all the fun out
of it she could; for soon. she said, it will
only be a reminiscence."
Major Menzies is a type of the Democrat
that is a credit to the party. While de-
clining TO discuss the probable fate of
Democracy in the coming elections, the
Mount Vernon man makes il plain that he
does not subscribe to the iSmS and social
istic doctrines OF some of the wild-eyed
radicals. The major came here as an at
torney of James L. Norris, a son-in-law of
Senator German, who is contesting for the
credentials as national committeeman from
the District of Columbia.

VENEZUELAN AFFAIRS
IN GOOD CONDITION
Minister Bowen Sends Encourag-
ing Reports Regarding State
of the Country.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-From Minister
Bowen's reports it appears that conditions
in Venezuela are reaching a most salts
factory basis. He cables that by a decree
just issued the government has opened the
ports Of Guanta, Sucre and Guira, which
have been closed for many months as a re-
suit of the revolutionary disturbances.
Mr.. Bowen also reports that the Vene-
zuelan government has just paid the over
due allotments on account of the award of
the Venezuelan mixed claims commission of
1890. This installment amount to about
$1,000 and is overdue between two and
three years.
The various arbitration commissions
which nave been in session at Caracas for
the past six months nearly all have COM
pleted their labors and it will be possible
for the Venezuelan government to begin
the settlement of the claims allowed
promptly on the announcement of the re-
suit of The hague arbitration, which will
determine the order in which the claims
are TO be paid, whether on n pro rata divi-
sion between all the powers concerned or
with a preference to the blockading powers.

STATE OF
WILL BE CREATED
Not to Be Admitted Into Union
for Two Years Until School
Land Question Is Settled.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.--As the result of
the territorial hearings for statehood, the
prediction is made from reliable sources
that a bill will be reported in the near flu
ture from the House committee on terri
tories joining Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory into a single State under the name of
Oklahoma. This State will not be admitted,
however. until after the allotment of lands
by the Dawes commission has been entirely
completed and the school land question has
been settled. This, it is estimated, will take
at least two years. The State when adj
mitted II is expected will have a popula-
ton of about 10000 and will be divided into
four congressional districts. Later a bill
will be reported admitting Arizona and
New Mexico as a single State, but this lat
ter proposition will not be pressed for some
time.
