A discussion of Union 1'nciilc railroad all'airs occu pied the attention of the senate yes terday. The deficiency appropriation bill was taken up early in tho day, and Mr. Morgan proposed an amend ment designed to prevent the consum mation of the agreement made some time since for the settlement of the government's claims against the road. Mr. Morgan spoke throughout tlie day, severely arraigning the Pacific rail road managers. Later in the day the entire subject was disposed of by tho withdrawal of the paragraph to which Mr. Morgan had offered his amend ment. The deficiency appropriation bill was not completed up to the time of adjournment. A resolution by Mr. ltutlor, of North Carolina, was agreed to, directing the secretary of state to secure from diplo matic representatives abroad full in formation as to the operation of postal telegraphs, telephones and postal Havings banks. On account of the death of Senator Harris, as soon as tho journal had been read, the house on motion of Mr. Moon, of Tennessee, as a mark of respect to the memory of the deceased senator, (suspended business until to-day. A 1'KNHlO.V DKUISlON. Washington, -July III. An important decision construing tho rights of pen sion claimants in lino of duty cases was rendered yesterday by Second As sistant Secretary of the Interior Web ster Davis. The issue is made in the case of Henry Miller, private in com pany K, One Hundred and First Ohio infantry. After being relieved from guard duty one day, Miller volun tarily assisted a teamster in watering mules, and while so occupied was fired upon and injured. Tho depart ment heretofore has rejected such cases as not in the lino of duty. As sistant Secretary Davis, however, re verses the pension bureau's action, liolds that tho claimant was not dis obeying orders nor violating army regulations, but was sliding a comrade in protecting government property; was doing something which he not only had a right to do, but was commenda ble, and also was acting in the lino of duty. The adoption of this policy will affect many claims. Tho ease is held to be practically similar to that of a soldier hurt by tho enemy firing on him while ho was oil' duty in his tent, in pursuance of any employment at which he had a right to be employed. CONSOLIDATION OK I'KNSION AOHNCIKH. Washington, ,luly 1". At the cab inet meeting to-day it is likely that in addition to the considerations to bo given the currency measure, tho presi dent's order, now only awaiting his signature, relative to tho consolidation of pension agencies, will bo brought up in some form. Tho Cleveland order reducing tho agencies fron IS to nine was to take effect September 1 next, and to-day in all probability tho cabi net will be definitely advised and con sulted as to the document. The order as now framed will merely suspend the carrying out of tho consolidation order of tlie last administration until fur ther notice. There is a feeling that in time all pension payments should bo paid from the agency at Washington and tlie administration's view is that it might be better to take this radical action when any change is made in tho system. For the present, however, the operation of the old order is simply suspended, consolidation as provided for being regarded as impracticable now and involving too much cost and inconvenience.

Wasiiinoton, July 0. Assistant Sec retary of the Interior Davis rendered two important pension decisions yes terday. The first was in the case of Edward W. Moore, Fourteenth inde pendent battery, Ohio light artillery. 15y reference to the claim papers it ap pears that tho soldier, a pensioner under the general law, was, by order of the probate court of Warren county, ()., placed under guardianship on tho ground that the soldier was an imbe cile, and payment lias since been made to the guardian. The contention in the case was that the soldier had been improperly made a ward. Secretary Davis decides that when it shall be shown that tlie pensioner's right to have tho pension inure wholly to his benefit is being abridged or forfeited by tho malfeasance of the guardian, and that tlie appointing court will not administer relief, then the pension commissioner would be legally author ized to refuse payment to tlie guardian, and, if need be, pay the pensioner him self. Tho second decision was in the case of Francis Frank, company II, Six- leenui luiuiiiguu liiiiiiiLi-.y. inuiu imu ruling now in force in the pension de- j purtment that when a claimant for a i a.. ...i . m!..i . ;.r....i nil :, . pension shall have readied the aye of 7.r) years he shall be considered totally incapable of manual labor, and shall bo entitled to tlie maximum rate of SPJ per month. Secretary Davis ruled yes terday in tlie case of Frank that a claimant who lias attained the age of (55 years shall be deemed entitled to at least the minimum rate of pension, un less tlie evidence discloses an unusual vigor and ability in one of that age for the performance of manual labor. Tons of l'lsli Stolen. Wichita, Kan., July 11. State Fisli Commissioner J. W. Shu It., of this eit3r, says that tons of fish are taken daily from Kansas streams and lakes by poachers and that ho is going to put a stop to it. He has been in ofliee less than a month, but has already ap pointed lish wardens in IW counties. For tho past two years tho fish laws were moderately well enforced and the streams are now full of fish. CoTn plaints of poachers are particularly numerous along the Elk, Neosho Falls, Kaw, Republican and two Arkansas rivers. They use barrel and trammel nets. Tor Forming nn ! Trust. Nasiivii.i.k, Tcnn., July 12. The grand jury, in pursuance of a recent charge directing an investigation of tlie alleged formation of an ice trust or combine, returned into court in dictments against nine of the leading ice dealers in the cit', charging tliein with having formed a trust or com bine to control tho supply and advance the price of ice. Two Children Drowned. Caumnvim.i:, 111., July 12. In a pond on the farm of William Perrine, bovon miles south of this city, Perry and Lee Thomas, cousins, aged ton and eight respectively, wero drowned while in bathing. The presumption is that tlie younger got in deep water and the alder endeavored to save him, both losing their lives. COAL MINERS! Thoir Striko Is Causing tho Prico of Coal to Go Up. WORKING TO GET ARBITRATION. A Corel Kniiitiio Confronting tho Country Tin) Strike In Illinois Chicago Kn glncorM May do Out uiul Large riiints Shut Down. PtmuiiMtoii, Pa., July 111. Tho miners' striko is causing tho prico of coal to still advance and yesterday it was selling-at SI. SO, an Increase of lfiO per cent, since tho commencement of tho struggle. The feature yesterday in matters pertaining to the strike t, nroscncc in tll0 cltv of tho ... , . .. , , ...,.,. ,, ... joint arbitration .board, which is en- I deavoring by every means possible to bring to a peaceable conclusion tho strife now in progress. Tlie board held informal sessions and in tho In tervals interviewed quite a number of operators, the big majority of whom are in favor of arbitration, provided all of the operators will abide by tho decision rendered. Tho strikers mado further advances yesterday in getting ou ,,ractic'illv cverv . l , , . f, lrlt-L "utsmc oi ULi miner in the dis- DeArmitt's men, who still remain loyal to their employers. At a mass meeting held at West Newton yesterday Vice President Mc Kay, of the miners' association, said he believed the West Virginia mines would be elosod down within two weeks. If they are not, he said, tho railroad men would bo called on to bring work to a standstill In that state. The operators claim the rail roads will supply cars suuicient to carry tho entire output of tho West Virginia fields. Tho lines along the river have been strengthened. The ironclad contracts which were in force at several mines in tho Monongahola valley were swept out of existence and tho strike was made general in the fourth pool, but tho most important development is the growing tendency in favor of arbitration. Tlie greatest interest is now mani fested in the scheme to arbitrate the striko question. Labor commissioners and ollicial arbitrators of tlie several states afl'ected are mobilizing in this city. The state of Ohio is the only one which has a regularly appointed board of arbitration. It exists for just such emergencies as this, and is naturally eminently well prepared for tho work. Most of tho others interested are labor commissioners and industrial statis ticians, who are also well able to act in tho capacity of arbitrators from tho nature of-their work in keeping in touch with tho working classes generally. There is a strong indication of a coal famine confronting the country within tlie next ten days. It is claimed by conservative operators that the mar ketable supply as present, which is placed at 10,000,000 bushels, would be only able to meet the demands of the market for about a month under ordi nary conditions. With the scarcity of coal already prevailing at tlie lake ports, it is claimed the supply will not last over two weeks at the longest. Tin: sTitiui: in Illinois. Si'itiNOKHH.i), 111., July HI. President Carson, of the Illinois United Mine Workers, arrived here last night from Danville. Tlie l,.r00 miners in the Ver million field, he stated, wero out, and the miners in every shaft in Illinois north of and including Puna, were out - -, , . , or niU voted to come out. in tlie Sprhifffield district every hluift will be jdio after to-nli-ht. "Py Saturday," President Carson stated, "every miner in Illinois, we believe, will have joined the strike. Wo believe, however, that a general settlement will be brought about within the next two weeks." CIIIUAOO HNOINKKIIH .MAY OO OCT. Chicago, July HI. There is a possi bility that if the miners' strike is con tinued for any length of time the union engineers of this city may refuse to handle any kind of coal that cannot show the stamp of union production, and in this event many of the large plants of the city may be compelled to shut down. In addition marine en gineers may bo involved and lake trallie stopped. LIGHTNING WORKS HAVOC. Strikes u Slilltlii Ciimp, Killing Olio Sinn mid Injuring SomtiiI. Ni:v York, July l:!. Lightning struck the state, militia camp at Peek-skill yesterday taking the V. M. ('. A. tout as its object. One man was killed and many others were badly hurt. An instant after the bolt descended the tent was down and in flames. A general alarm was sounded and tlie guardsmen and ambulance corps caino at doublo(juick. Almost every man who had been under the canvas was shocked by the lightning. Tho body of Corporal McDonald was the first taken from the mass of ruins. The sur geons worked over it for an hour or more, but their efforts were fruitless.
