There it goes southwest to Lin coln. Adjudicating : Pension Claims. Washington , July 2. The old sol diers who are entitled to pensions un der the dependent bill just approved by the president are likely to have their claimsadjudicated promptly. It is estimated that under this law fully a quarter of a million persons will be added to the pension rolls. General Raum , commissioner of pensions , who is making every possible effort to meet this emergency , says : "An additional allowance of some 440 clerks has been asked for , because the present force has all it can do now. The new law will , according to tho senate estimate , put 300,000 more cases on tho rolls. Of course this calculation is more or less liable to be inaccurate. In any event , it would be impossible for the present force to handle all this extra work in addition to what they are do ing now , and so I have asked for more clerks. v ' 'There are to be ten more principal examiners , I believe , and the others are to be divided through the various grades oi clerks. No new division is to be sreated , but the work will be so livided that cases under the new law ivill move right along abreast of the 3ld cases. It would be unjust to make jlaimants under this latest act wait and take their turn. So instead of putting the new cases behind the rest we will begin work on them at once and carry them right through as fast as possible. "Cases that are well presented and n which are no unfavorable conditions nay be got through and adjudicated in i month , and I should think be issued just as soon as the president signed the Jill. "Thousands of pamplets containing , ho text of the act , the rules governing he cases under it , and blank forms for slaimants are being sent to tho Grand Irmy posts for the information of nembers. " The Hessian Fly. Springfield , 111. , July 4. At the • equest of the state board of agricul- ure , State Entomologist S. A. Forbes las submitted a lengthy report of his • ecent examinations relative to the labits and characteristics of tho new vheat pest , the Hessian fly. He finds hat these flies damage the wheat by : oncealing themselves in the bloom of he grain and also by sapping tho oots. They breed prolifically , some- imes having four broods in a year. Sarly plowing and the burning of tubble immediately at the conclusion > f harvest are thought to be the only neans of ridding tho fields of the pests.

The Congressional Programme. Washington , July 5. From this time forward tho house will devote it self to tho settlement of contested election cases , the original package , bankruptcy and a few unimportant measures which have passed the sen ate. The work of tho ho uso is vir tually done for this session , aside from conference work on tho tariff and sil ver. The republican senators will de termine in caucus early next week tho crder of business in view of a clash be tween tho tariff and the river and har bor bills. If it is determined that tho election bill shall follow rivers and harbors , silver and tho tariff , no ono can estimate tho length of the session or forecast tho result of the tariff do- bate , but if it should be concluded that the elections bill shall go over to the next session , it is stated on the best democratic authority and the republi cans who object to features of the tariff bill that it can be passed within ten days from tho time it is taken up in the senate. Tho fact that there is a strong demand from tho business men of the country for the speedy disposi tion of tho tariff , so that orders for fall and winter trade may issue , will bo tho strongest argument in favor of post ponement of the elections bill till next session. The Original Package Substitute Bill * Washington , July 5. Tho friends of the proposed substitute for the origi nal package bill reported by the house judiciary committee expect to call up that measure next week and hope to pass it. Senator Wilson says of tho substitute that ho fears that it is un necessarily wide in its scope , and it is said that Speaker Reed favors only a measure restricted to intoxicating liquors. The bill meets with considera ble objection on account of its very much enlarged scope , and despite the confident claims of its friends there is more than a reasonable doubt of its passage. A measure similar in its far- reaching effects was proposed in the senate , but it was generally agreed that it would be much wiser to con fine legislation exclusively to the im portation of intoxicating liquor in original packages , so that even if the substitute should pass the house it would be amended to its original shape in the senate , and a long and tedious conference would ensue , which woald jeopardize all legislation on the subject. The Indians Arc Jubilant. Chambeklain , S. D. , July 5. Tho Lower Brule Indians are highly pleased over the result of tho recent protest against the government surveyors who are now engaged in running the bound ary lines of their reservation. A short time ago the Indians made a complaint that the new survey did not give them the land to which they are entitled. The principal cause of complaint was in regard to the southern boundary of their lands , they claiming that the line was located three miles north of the proper point. The Sioux bill , under which the Sioux reservation was opened to settlement , requires that the south lino of the Brule reservation shall be on a direct line west from old Fort Lookout. The ruins of this old fort are nearly oblit erated , and this fact caused the mis take. The surveyor general was ap pealed to and he has just succeeded in Bnding the correct location of the fort , and it was , as claimed by tho Indians , three miles south of the point from ivhich the surveyors commenced work. Another line will be established and the Indians will receive possession of the strip claimed by them. The con tested three mile strip contains exten sive coal fields which will now belong to the Indians. The Fourth In Washington. Washington , July 5 Statesmen svho remained in Washington yesterday nerely discussed the outlook for the ldmission of additional states into the jnion , and they were unanimous in the ; onclusion that no more will come in sooner than tho Fifty-third congress , 'our years hence. There are but four remaining territories Arizona , New Mexico , Utah and Oklahoma. The [ ndian territory and Alaska are now jut provinces , without representation ii congress. It will take four years , jven in the proposed land title court , : o clear up the titles to the lands in Arizona-and New Mexico , and till that s done statehood is impracticable. Ehe anti-Mormon laws will likely put Jtah in the proper social state for itatehood by tho Fifty-third congress , md not till that time is it believed Oklahoma will have sufficient popula- ion for statehood. Indian territory md Alaska will come in last , and the atter , it is thought , will make the fif- ieth state. flic Admission of Wyoming the Sub ject of Great Rejoicing. Newcastle , Wyo. , July 5. Tho jnthusiasm over statehood found vent -esterday in tho 4th of July cele- > ration , and although a later jubilee s on tho program , it gave a joyous ' eeling which made the Outburst of : oday exceed all . expectation. For * three or four days tho business men havo been decorating and tho com- mitteo working liko beavers with bunting and flags , until tho city this morning resembles a mass of patri otic colors. The street parndo was more imposing than is usual in cities many times our size. Tho Newcastle cornet band led , followed by tho Grand Army of tho Republic and tho city council. Then came a magnifi cent car covered with tho national colors , with a pyramid crowned with a cupalo and an American eagle , car rying 44 prettily-dressed girls , repre senting tho states of the union. Tho now state of Wyoming was repre sented by a child in a gorgeously- bedecked carriage , with an eagle on top , carrying a star bearing tho fig ures " 43. " Next followed twelve ladies on horseback , dressed in red skirts , white waists and blue caps , their horses wearing colored collars with tho names of Wyoming counties , a long lino of carriages and pedes trians following. Kcminler Must Die. Auburn , N. Y. , July 5. William Kemmler , the Buffalo murderer , left here at 7 a.m. in charge of Warden Dursten and Keeper Mike Naughton for Buffalo , where tho sentence of death by electrocution will again bo pronounced. The murderer's appear ance has not changed noticeably since his last trip to Buffalo , and ho was apparently less concerned than his guards. Ho will return to prison to night. It was 2:05 o'clock when Officer Daniel MacNaughton led Kemmeler into tho aupremo court. Judge Childs entered a few minutes later. War den Dursten took a seat within tho rail. Tho courtroom was crowded , many standing up to see what was believed to be the last act in Buffalo of tho murderer's career. Kemmler was dressed in a neat grey suit and carried a natty black derby hat. His dark-brown mustache , grown thicker since he was here before , was clipped short and became him well. His hair was carefully brushed. His man ner was unconcerned , though he look ed fully alivo to his terrible position. "Mr. district attorney , " said Judge Childs , "havo you any business be fore the court ? " AsssistantDistrictAttorney Marcy moved for sentence on William Kem- ler. "Kemmler , you may stand up , ' * said the judge. The prisoner stood up. He pulled his vest into shape then put his hands behind his back and gazed intently at the judge. There was a humble , deprecatory look upon his face now. Judge Childs told him that all the appeals taken in the effort to save his life had failed. "Yes sir , " said Kemmler obediently. "Have you anything to say ? " pur sued the judge , "why a time should not be fixed for carrying out tho sen tence previously pronounced upon you ? " A moment's pause , and then : "No , sir. " The judge continuing , said he hoped the long delay had given the prisoner time for deliberation on the enormity of his offense and the justice of his conviction. He concluded as follows : "All the court now has to say is that the sentence heretofore passed upon you bo carried into effect within tho week beginning August 4 , 1890 , and may God have mercy upon you. " No opposition was made to the sen tence. Judge Child's voice faltered in its delivery. Ho spoke in the most impressive manner ; Kemmler betrayed no emotion. He sat down and glanced right and left at his guardians , then out through a window at tho dancing sunlight , and a moment later was led away. He returned to Auburn to night. Aeronaut's Horrible Death. St. Louis , July 6. A special from Beardstown , 111. , says : Prof. Samuel Black , the aeronaut , met with a horri ble death at that place. When at a height of 400 feet he signaled that he was about to descend , but something seemed to have gone wrong with his parachute. A few minutes later a stream of smoke was seen issuing from the parachute , which in a few seconds burst into a flame , severing tho para chute from the baloon , and the aero naut was seen falling through the air at a frightful speed. Half an hour later his body was found , horribly mangled , about a mile from the scene ji the ascent. It is supposed that the parachute caught fire from sparks f ron > i mill near by. Free.

CONGKKSSION'AIj PKOCK12DINGS. 11n tho senate on the 30th tho houso bill in relution to oaths in pension and other cases was passed. Tho house bill for tho admission of Idaho as a state was then taken up for consideration. The bill having been read Mr. Morrill gave notice that ho would at tho ear liest practical moment movo to take up tho tariff bill. . Mr. Teller remarked that tho tariff bill could not possibly bo taken up this week , as the senate would probably adjourn from Thursday till Monday and probably tho Idaho bill would not bo disposed of this week. The report having been read , tho Idaho bill was temporarily laid aside and tho agricultural appropriation bill token up. There aro a few amendments. Mr. Coke moved to add to tho para graph for investigating the history and habits of insects § 25,000 for investigat ing tho history of and remedies for the cotton ball worm. Agreed to. Tho bill then passed. In tho houso Mr. Breckenridgo of Kentucky pre sented the credentials of W. W. Dick enson as representative-elect to fill tho vacancy occasioned by the resigna tion of Mr. Carlisle. Mr. Dickenson then took tho oath of office. Tho de bate on tho federal election bill was then resumed , Mr. Herbert of Idaho being accorded the floor. Mr. Herbert dwelt on tho construction laws and said that by them tho negro had been taught to distrust tho southern whito man. Tho negro was now learning that it was not for his interest to array himself solidly against tho white man and tho whito man was doing every thing in his power to teach the negro this lesson. If the south was allowed to work out the problem for itself the time would soon come when the negro , being educated as the white man was , would bo able to take care of himself , both as a taxpayer and as a citizen. Speeches were made by Messrs. Honk. Coleman , Burrows , Chipman , and oth ers , but definite action was not taken. In the senate on the 1st Mr. Morgan introduced a bill providing that no person shall enter any public lands in Wyoming under the homestead or other laws who is a bigamist or polygamist , or who teaches , counsels , aids or en courages others to enter into bigamy or polygamy , or who is a member of any association that teaches polygamy. Referred to committee on public lands. The conference committee on the legis lative appropriation bill reported that it was unable to agree on the pay of senators' clerks and committee clerks , and new conferees were appointed. The Idaho admission bill was re sumed and Mr. Vance spoke in oppo sition to it. The bill then passed with out division. A message from the house , announcing that it had resolved to adhere to its disagreements to the legislative appropriation bill was pre sented by Mr. Dawes of the conference committee , who stated that the house declined to confer further. After a leng discussion the senate refused to recede from its amendments by a vote of 21 to 10. In tho house consideration of the federal election bill was resumed. Mr. Lodge offered an amendment to tho bill providing that as soon as the certificate of the board was made pub lic any person who was a candidate for election may by motion before the United States circuit court having jur isdiction in the district , contest the correctness of the certificate made by the board and demand an examination and compilation of tho returns. The returning officers shall produce before the circuit court all the returns , re ports , tickets and all evidence on which it acted in advance in awarding tho certificates. The circuit court shall thereupon determine and certify the person shown entitled to the cer tificate ; also an amendment providing that if there be an appeal from the de ' cision of the United States board of canvassers to the circuit court the clerk of the house shall place on the foils as representative-elect the name af the person certified by said court as entitled to the seat. The amendment ivas agreed to. Mr. Buckalew of Penn sylvania moved to strike out section 58 , which changes the law so as to ? lace the selection of jurors in the lands of the clerks of courts. Adopted yeas , 140 ; nays , 134. Messrs. Frank , Harmon , Lehlback and Lind voted vith the democrats in the affirmative. In the senate on tho 2d Mr. Hiscock jailed up his motion to consider the rote by which the senate refused to re- : ede from its amendments to the legis- ative appropriation bill. The motion vas agreed to and after debate the | ienate receded from its amendments. ' , Che bill now goes to the president , j die senate proceeded to consideration > f the two senate bills reported from J he committee on commerce to place he merchant marine engaged in for eign trade upon an equality with that ) f other nations and to provide for an > cean mail service between the United states and foreign ports and to pro- note commerce. The house resumed ' : onsideration of the federal election j ) ill , the pending question being on the imendment offered by Mr. Tucker of Virginia requiring the judge of the | ' jircuit court , associated with the dis- rict judge , to pass upon the applica- I ions for supervisors of election.
