MASSILLON’s SERMON. Senator Ingalls’ Kepty to a Charge of Plagiarism. In its issue of yesterday, according to press dispatches, the Kansas City 7imes contained a four-column article, in which Senator Ingalls of Kansas was charged with plagiarizing one of the sermons of Massillon, delivered about 200 Years ago, The reproduction of this ancient divine’s ideas was said to have taken place when Senator Ingalls eulogized, in the Senate, the late Representative Burnes of Missouri, The utterances were paralleled and seemed conclusive, “Have I anything to say about the matter?” repeated the Senator toa Stan reporter this afternoon. ‘Yes, just a little. “I was advised several weeks ago that this Publication was to be made and that the manu- script was for sale at $500. The price seemed to me to be excessive, “In my youth I began the study of French, without a master, and in a volume of exercises I found this, with other extracts. eredited to no one, which I translated and copied into a commonplace book more’ thin _ thirty years ago. Iwas struck by its stately and somber eloquence. It seemed tome then, as it has always seemed to me since, the mos forcible and “impressive presentation of the strongest arguments in support of the immor- tahty of the human soul. I never had the sermons of Massillon in my possession, and never read one of them knowingly, either in the original or in translation, “Ihave used the same line of thought and the language of my paraphrase a hundred times, Ihave no doubt, in conversation. in speeches and in letters whenever Ihave had ocoasion to dwell upon the mystery of existence beyond the grave, and “I shall con- tinuo to do so whenever occasion serves, ‘The writer and orator who repeats and pre- serves such thoughts and rescnes them from the dusty oblivion of forgotten centuries con- fers an inestimable benefit upon mankind, ‘The language is my own, the 1 are the priceless heritage and common possession of the human race, “My lamented friend, Col. Burnes, was a democrat. In my brief and humble tribute to his memory, which was delivered at the re- quest of his family, I endeavored to portray his | virtues, und to console the bereft by the | hope that the separation was not eter- It was a labor of love, and not for gain or fame. His political associates con- sidering it becoming and appropriate to resort to his grave, which is green with the verdure of returning spring, for the occxsion to censure me, I leave them to the judgment of the living and the contempt of the dead.” MISSISSIPPI & PROBLEMS. Hearing Before the Senate Committee on Commerce. A-series of hearings upon plans for the im- provement of the Mississippi river was begun by the Senate committee on commerce today. The members the Mississippi river commission, Oapt. Cowden of Lake Borgne outlet fame and 4 number of other persons interested in the subject were present. Senator Frye, chnir- | man of the committee, asked Gen, Comstock, | chairman of the Mississippi river commission, to make a statement of the work done and the results, PLANS AND WORK OF THE COMMISSION, Gen, Comstock said the commission had entered upon a general plan of contracting the tiver to an average width of 3,500 feet; in some places its natural width is from one to two miles. The purpose of this plan is to deepen the low-water channel, The resujts of this plan have been satisfactory navigation improved, As to the Lake Borgne outlet scheme, Gen, Comstock said it should not be constructed, It would, in the opinion of the commission, re- sult in the shoaimg of the river below New Orleans and ultimately result in greater flood heights at New Orleans and Lake Borgne than at present.

NOT READY YET. The Forthcoming Report of the Civil Service Reform Investigation. The civil servico reform investigating com- mittee was to have held a meeting today to pass upon the report from the subcommittee. Mr. Lehlbach, the chairman, was selected to draw up the report for the subcommittee. This he has done and the subcommittee was culled to meet at 10 o'clock this morning to prepare to report to the full com- mittee at 11 o'clock. Mr. Butterworth was ab- sent from the subcommittee meeting, and, the House meeting at 11, it was not possible to get a quorum of the full commit- tes at 11 o'clock. It is expected that the subcommittee will finish their work late today and that the whole matter will be disposed of at a meeting of the committee, which is called for tomorrow. TIME FOR SIREET ‘SPRINKLING. A New Regulation Will Give Every- body a Chauce. The records of the Commissioners’ office show many complaints of injustice worked by regulations governing the use of Potomac water for street sprinkling. -The regulations permitted street or lawn sprinkling only be- use Potomac water between the hours of 4:30 op and 8:30 fat This, he ba Baal rb existing evils, give people time ‘ter their streets and altogether do ye ‘sooner, ment that the beds of leveed rivers gradually rise, Gen. Comstock said the records of rivers abroad did not show it. In the case of the Mississippi the records, in his opinion, do uot indicate any rise whatever in the bed of the river, the slight variations being due, in all probability, to local causes, . In his opinion the Eads jetties had not raised the bed of the river one inch, THE BUILDING OF LEVEES. Senator Frye asked to what extent the com- mission had gone Mto the building of levees. Gen, Comstock-—To the amount of about | 23,000,000. It has been done by the commis- sion in pursuance of the requirements of the law under which it operates as an aid to navi- gation, I am in a minority of the commission; the majority believe that the system of levees is un aid to navigation. For that purpose I would not build levees. It is necessary to have them for the protection of the country along the !ower end of the river, andthe general government should bear its | proportion of the expense. This it has done. | About #10,000,000 have been expended in | levees, of which the general government has | spent about a third. ‘The country overtlowed | year by the Mississippi river flood was | much less than in 1582, owing to the better condition in which the levees were to | resist the flood, SEVENTY-FIVE MILLION MORE NEEDED, To finish the plan of improvement for the navigation of the river alone would require, in Gen, Comstoc! $75,000,000. If the | levces were built up the whole length of the river at the same time it might reduce this estimate 210,000,000, Senator Gibson interrogated Gen, Comstock atsome length, bringing out the facts, in his belief. that the opening of the Lake Borgne outlet would necessitate hi vi Orleans, and result, in a few mulation of a deposit in ‘s opinion, § rs, in the lake which would be an absolute bar- to the further flow of water from outlet, CAPT. COWDEN’S VIEWS, Capt. Cowden, the promoter of the Lake Borgne outlet, produced a map of the coast of 1887 to prove that the statement of e Mississippi river commission in its report of 1850 ax to the shoaling caused by the Jump outlet was not borne out by the facts as shown official survey. Maj. C 3. Suter, a member of the Mis- sissippi river commission, detailed at length the various features of the plan followed by the commission in the improvement of the channel of the river and the theories upon n the commission had adopted them. ‘The outiet system had been condemned in toto, ‘The witness said he differed from Gen. Com- in that he would use the levee system in auction with the other works constructed by the commission for the purpose of improv- ing the navigation of the river. At the points where the commission has constructed works of any extent the low water depth of the river has been more than doubled, There is no evidence, Maj. Suter said, that the bed of the river had been raised by the levees. The McCalla Case. Judge Advocate General Remey concluded his review of the record of the McCuila court- martial case this morning and placed all the papers in the hands of the Secretary of the Navy. Itis expected that the action of the department will be announced tomorrow. The department desires to dispose of this case as soon as possible in order to utilize the United States steamer Enterprise, which has been tied up at New York ever since the investigations began.

A small delegation of Ponca Indians of the Indian territory had an interview with Secre- tary Noble today. They came to the city of their own accord and their object was to in- duce the President, through. the Secretary, to reconsider the recent order directing the re- moval of all cattle other than those owned by the Indians from the territory on or before the ist of October next. The Indians told the Secre- tary that the revenue derived from leases was the main source of their support and that they could put their great stretches of pasture land to no other use. The Secretary's reply was brief but — pointed. He — informed. the Indians that their —leases with cattlemen had no authority in law; that their lands were intended solely for the occupa- tion of the members of the tribes; that the use by white men of land in the Indian terri tory gave them an unjust advantage over cat- tlemen in the states, as the latter paid taxes on their lands and their cattle, which were not required in the Indian territory; and that the effort to retain these leases was mainly in the interests of afew middlemen who received the principal benefits. ‘The secretary. in conclusion, told the indians that they had better leave for their homes on the first train this evening. The Indians, however, asked the Secretary to relax the rigor of the last suggestion some- what, as they had a photograph. taken which they wished to take home with them, and the row. ‘Ihe Secretary then said that the: might stay until tomorrow evening. Senator Dawes accompanied the Indians and after the conference he told the Sceretary that his propositions could not be disputed. ‘This is probably the last effort that willbe made by the cattlemen to retain their hold in the Indian territory. Secretary Noble has been much annoyed by the hostile attitude of the lease holders of grazing lands in the Indian territory toward the efforts made by the government to secure a cession of the lands from the Indians, It is believed that they have influenced the Indians ist all negotiations in this direction and the ejectment of the lease holders from the ter- ritory after October 1 is one of the results of the hostile policy they have adopted against the government, LIVE CAPITOL TOPICS.

AN ADDITIONAL STENOGRAPHER FOR THE HOUSE. | The question of an adaitional official ste- nographer for the House, which was brought up by Mr. Spooner’s: resolution lagt Thursday will probably not be considered by the com- mittee on accounts until the regular meeting Wednesday.

Engineer Commissioner Robert by his active campaign against violators of the law pre- | vented the sale of considerable liquor in this | city yesterday. The policemen on duty say that there was less liquor sold than on an | Sunday for many years, The usual “private or Sunday entrances to many saloons were as securely fastened as were the main doors or week-day entrances, and many a “steady drinker did without his usual “nip.” The police were more vigilant lest Col. Robert should appear and note the persons going 1a and out of the side doors and order an investi- gation. ‘The drug stores were also careful not to vio- late the law. The “dry” people tried all sorts of devices to obtain hquer, aad some of them, itis said, even went so far as to get a physi- cia prescription and have it filled by their druggist, 80 that there were apparently more sick people in the city yesterday than at the time the “grip” w; Many. children called at drug stores, e old story peated over and Lister, mamua ays send her 10 cents worth of whisky, she's We are just out.” the druggist would po- | litely reply, and in that way am. customers were induced to believe that jthe proprietor had really sold all his liquor. ®*The fact was that the druggists knew of Col. Robert's action in calling the matter to the attention of the other Commissioners and they were cautious, While most of the deaicrs aduered to the dry rule the police do not claim that all the liquor dealers refrained from doing business yester- ay. pen Sears Riverdale Park.

Nothing was, however, satd in court in regard to the case, It was un stood in the district attorney's office that Ward's counsel, Senator Blackburn, Judge Wilson, Chapin —_ Brow and W. kD: were to have had a cousulta- tion to select a day and suggest it to the dis- trict attorney. This had not been done at a late hour this atternoon. It is thought, how- ever, that the time will be fixed in a day or two. The Voyage of the Essex. The U.S.S.
