Indianapolis, Aug. 19.—There wee
much excitement end Indignation at
the rooms of the Republican city com-
mittee la the When block, on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, this morning. A thief
broke Into the rooms some time after
midnight, pried open the desk of Sec-
retary Joyoe and stole the poll books
of the nine precincts of the sixth
ward, the committee’s checkbook, the
oash book, private memorandum, the
committee’s record book and some
summaries of the results of the polls
In the wards. Everything of political
value in the desk of the secretary was
taken. The poll books of the other
preoinots would likely have been found
and carried away, had not the thief
been discovered by the janitor of the
blook and frightened away.
Secretary Joyce believes the thief is
a man who has been lounging around
the committee rooms for several days
and who he regarded as a suspicious
character. No due to the thief or
documents has yet been found.

The following has been reoeived from
the governor of Alabama:

T. J. Jones, Governor.
The Senate.
Washington, Aug. 19.—The senate
will not be in session today. Rather
unexpectedly, and after refusing to ad-
journ over from Friday till Monday,
early in the day yesterday the body re-
considered its action behind the dosed
doors of executive session, and conse-
quently there will be no proceedings of
interest today beyond the speech-
making in the house.
In some quarters it was suggested
that the torpedo thrown into the sen-
ate by Butler, of South Carolina, in the
shape of ah amendment to the bank
circulation bill, repealing the bank
tax, alarmed senators who desired a
speedy action on that measure, and
fearing that the amendment might
oarry and thereby cripple the national
bank system, unless full time were
given to point out its dangers, they
permitted an adjournment.
The Republican senators will within
the next day or two hold a caucus to
fill the vacancies in committees caused
by the death of Senator Stanford, and
also to deal out the little patronage
the Democrats have given them. This
patronage amounts to about sixteen
places, a few in the office of the secre-
tary, but the majority under the ser-
geant-at arms—the same number given
the Democrats when Republicans were
in control of the senate. The death of
Senator Stanford oanses a number of
senators on that side of the chamber to
move up a peg or two, so they will be
in the line for chairmanships should
the Democrats lose oontrol of the sen-
ate again. ______________
The Home.
Washington, Aug. 19—The session
of the house today was not marked by
animated debate, but it was significant
in showing the inroads made in the
ranks of the free coinage men.
Mr. McCreary of Kentuoky, a mem-
ber of the recent monetary conference,
and Mr. Oatohings of Mississippi, of
the committee on rules, both took the
floor in support of the unconditional
repeal of the Sherman purchasing
act.
Mr. Livingston, of Georgia, made
one of his characteristic speeohes in
support of free coin age and against un
conditional repeal and justified his
past Populist rsoord as a “calamity
howler’’ by asserting that every pre-
diction of the Farmer’s Allianoe of
three years ago had been realized; that
the bankers and brokers of Wall
street were today the principal
calamity howlers.
Mr. fUohards, of Ohio, believed that
President Cleveland was right in at-
tributing to the purchasing olause of
the Sherman bill the present business
depression.
The house then took a recess until 10
o’clock.
After the recess, to a crowded gal-
lery, but to a very small attendance on
the floor, Mr. Curtis (Republican, Kan-
sas), spoke iu support of the Wilson
bill, but in a conservative ma. ner.
He was in favor of a ratio of 20 to 1,
establish a oommis-
ratio
After the Chinese,
Sacramento, Cal., Aug. 19—Sheriff
Bower, of Bakerafleld, has telegraphed

acted tonight. The governor is at
'asadenaand Bower’s telegram hasbeen
repeated to him.

Whet tbe Explorer* Found.
John W. Baker of ours, R.E.L.
Robinson, the journalist, and one An-
derson, returned to Yuma a few days
since from a boat trip down the Colo-
rado river to the Gulf of California.
They suooeeded in finding the ruins of
the old mission of Santa Ysabel, though
not in the locality where it has always
been supposed that they existed. They
went back some twenty miles or more
from the Colorado river, and while not
prepared to make such excavations as
they found ueoessary in order to open
up the ruins, they are satisfied with
the results or the trip, as far as they
went. They found that the boat they
had was entirely unfit for the ohoppy
sea of the gulf. It was too long and
too narrow. Mr. Robinson is satisfied
well enough to build another boat and
return and prosecute the explorations,
aud that they will be able to find the
anoient camping place of the old Pa-
dres, on the east shore of the gulf, be-
low St. George’s Bay.
Captain Beall’s Typewriting.
A number of the friends of Captain
Beall, the well known lawyer, had a
good deal of quiet amusement at that
gentleman’s expense, but without his
knowledge or consent, yesterday after-
noon. Captain Beall was alone iu his
office over the State National bank,
and concluded to take his first lesson
on his typewriter, whioh sat so dose to
a window that his friends assembled
qn the opposite corner could observe
bis every movement. After a long
searoh on the keyboard for the desired
letter he would “hit it a lick,’’ as if
trying to pounoe upon a flea; then he
would turn up the roll to make sure he
had touched the right letter, but be-
fore he could find the next letter
wanted he would forget whioh one he
had used last, and up would go tbe roll
again for another look. Thla was re-
peated over and over, to the great
amusement of the street observere of
the scene.
In order to make room for

cided to turn our Summer
