LONDON , Oct. 18. | Now York Herald
Cubic Special to Tin : Hr.n. I A number
of naval and military ofllccrs have been seen
by the Herald correspondent und asked to
express an opinion of the Kullnski pneumatic
Kim in view of iho recent experiments.
Sir Frederick Hlchards , K. C , I ) . , said :
"I have been traveling n croatdcal and have
not had tlmo to thoroughly master the recent
experiments. It sccnm to me , however , to
bo nothing more or loss than nn aerial tor
pedo. I think it would 'bo a powerful Instru
ment employed against n town , but I thluk
it w.ill require n great deal of Improvement
before it Is used successfully ngninst ships. "
Sir Frederick Hlchards is the ad
miral who was lately comniunder-in-
chief of the East India station ,
Ho Is ono of tbo thrco admirals who pro
duced a report upon the naval manoeuvres of
1SS8 , which largely contributed to pass the
naval dcfcnso bill.
Admiral Morgan Singer , adviser to the
firm of Maxim ft Nonlenfeldt , gun makers ,
yictoria Mansions , S. W. , was reluctant to
speak , but on being pressed said : "If my
opinion is worth anything 1 may sny that it
all depends upon the value of the projectile.
The advocates of the gun state- that if the
projectile falls within thirty to forty feet of
a vessel it is exploded with crcat effect.
That Is not my experience at all. I bcliovo
myself that unless the projectile fulls within
nn even space of twenty feet , sup
posing it to bo charged with
I,0d0 pounds of dynamite , It would have very
luilc effect indeed. I hava never seen the
KallnsUl gun approach with reasonable accu-
rucv I haVe seen it used in its earliest days ,
nud Its accuracy Was very bad indeed. Then
you might ilro a good many ro units before
you struck a ship or anything else. Thcso
defects Imvo never been satisfactorily
cleared up to my mind , but if nil these things
that are said about it now bo true , it must
bo a very formidable weapon , but they do
not como within my own experience. "
"You have seen , Admiral Singer ,
the cable accounts in the London
edition of the Herald of the
successful experiments tbo other day near
Philadelphial"
"Oh , yc.s , but as the experiments nro pre
sented to us they are very misleading. As
an example of what I say , only the other day
the papers said that the experiments in Vic
torla were very satisfactory , whereas I
know for n fact that they wore just the reverse
verso , so that 1 am ratbor loth to4Rico all I
read for granted. If ono is to give an opinion
that is worth anything ho should either sco
the experiment himself or Imvo a witness of
somebody who has. I have neither of recent
date. If the valuu of the Zuliuski gun de
pended upon tlio projectile striking
vessel , it would not amount to
much. I repeat that if the nrojcctilo
discharged from this gun fulls within twenty ,
thirty or forty foot , nnd , there exploding ,
can blow up tbo vessel , it must bo n most
formidable weapon , but I do not believe u bit
of It , "
Admiral Morgan Singer was at the head
of the naval artillery department. Ho is an
expert on ordnancematters. .
Lieutenant General Sir Andrew Clarlr , G.
C. M. , O. C. 13. , O. I. 13. , said : "I attach
very great Importance to the Zallnskl gun.
It is not a completely perfected weapon and
inventions nro continually taking place. I
regard it as a most formidable weapon us
employed against towns. Yes , aad when
used against ships. "
"Do you thinlc its projectile dropped
within thirty feet or forty feat of a vessel
and then exploding would bo effective for
destructive purposes } "
"I most certainly think so. "
"Havo you had any experience of its ac
curacy ? Does it deliver with tolerable ac
curacy ! "
"Hoth from my own experience ana from
what reliable witnesses have told mo , I can
certainly say I do think the //.illnaltl gun a
most formidable wcapou and one of the most
Important inventions of the kind wo have
hud , "
"In such craft ns the Vesuvius torpedo
gun vessel could It bo especially serviceable
ble- 1 "
"No , I would not say vhat. I think it could
bo used with greater advantage in such craft
os the Polyphemus , but the gun is only as
yet In nn experimental stage. "
"Havo you road iho cable reports of the
recent successful experiments near Phila
delphia ) "
"Ytis , nnd nil that I have read only con
firms nnd strengthens the Impressions i-biul
previously formed. Experiments nro con
tinually going on and I hardly know of nny
one in Kugluud who would bo a decided
authority. The range of observa
tion and information la very
long , but from what wo do know that is re
liable it is ono of the most effective woapoua
13 wo have seen , "
Lieutenant General Sir Andrew Clarke Is
13t t a most distinguished military ofilccr. He Is
sixty-five yours old and entered the army
forty-live years ago , In 1853 ho was sur
veyor general of Victoria and was elected to
the Victoria assembly for Melbourne and
became ) miulstor for publio lands In 1S03.

LONDON , Oct. IS. 1 Now York Herald
Cable Special to Tim Hcn-l The marriage
of Prince Hnlzfcldt and Miss Clara Huntington -
ton , daughter of C. P. HunUngton , will tuko
place at the oratory at Brompton at 11 o'clock
In the morning ot the 23th ot this month , the
past week being devoted to arrangements of
the ncoossury preliminaries , nnd In the re
gion of Hanover square and Dover street ,
whcro the contracting parties nro at present
respectively residing , there Is n stnto of
happy anticipation quite commensurate with
the fact that ono of America's daughters is
to become a princess In n family whlcu dates
back In history for OOD years.
' 1 ho date of the marriage was not settled
upon until this afternoon . Various circum
stances have delayed the llnal conclusion.
A marriage In London , according to the rites
of the Catnollc. church , Including the publi
cation of the b.ins , necessitated that both ot
the contracting parties should bo Catholics ,
and they should hnvo had previous residcnco
m London for a certain period. The llrst
obstruction disappeared through Miss Hunt-
ington's becoming a communicant of the
Catholic church. This has been entirely
by her own desire , as the marriage could
Imvo gone on Just as well with
out it , but she so clinic , and a
Catholic bishop will marry them. The other
objection was overcome by means of a special
license , and in the most fashionable Uoman
cathedral in London , under the sunorin-
tondcnco of lilshop Patterson , the nuptial
knot will bo tied , The wedding will bo a
private ono , without ostentation or extrane
ous ceremonies , and only the nearest friends
will bo present. This Is duo partly to the
fact that the lluntiiigtons are in mourning ,
nnd , furthermore , to the departure of Mr.
and Mrs. HuntingUm for America by the
Teutonic , Mr. Huntington's business calling
him to Now York without delay.
On the day of the ceremony Prince and
Princess ilalzfcldt will leave for Italy for
their honeymoon , which will bo spent at the
northern lakes. After a month there the
prince will take bis brldu to Schoiistcin , the
seat of the Halzfeldt estate , la Germany.
The HunUnglona have been hero for a
month past and the prlnco arrived ten days
ago. Tbo ceremony was originally intended
to take place in Paris , but the necessity of
MM. Huntington's stay in London altered
the plan. For a week i > ast the preparations
have progressed with nil the ploas-
urab'o ' flutter incidental ' to such
huppy occasions. What the results
nro Is not known , but it
is quite certain that they are in every way
satislactory to all parties. Mr. Huntington
has been in the most genial uiood over
known since his arrival and scorns to have
accepted the role of fuihor-in-hiw to the
prince as a now and very pleasant addition
to his existing fame.
Miss Huntington's wedding dress is being
made in Parts.
Prince Halzfeldt is being variously de
scribed , and under the present circumstances
a pen picture of him may not bo uninterest
ing. Ho Is a blonde of medium height ,
square nnd symmetrical figure ; his hiir :
parts in the ccutcr and rolls back in a Ger
man way , and his moustache , which is brown
and curli'ig , takes the princely hon
ors among moustaches. Ills face is
German in typo and clearly cut ,
thougli in looks lid is entirely cosmopolitan.
He is exceedingly good naturcd , off-hand
and very cordial In bis address. Ho has
penetrating blue eyes , is shrewd m observa
tion , and has a quick , commanding manner ,
which is apparently duo partly to his tradi
tions and partly to his nervous and wiry
make up. Ho dresses very quietly with a
gentleman's taste and ovmcas a notable dU
crimination In the matter of scarf pins. Hut
for his faint German accent in speaking
English ho might bo mistaken for a young
American of tbo most polished class. Alman
Do Gotha says ho Is thirty-six years old , but
ho does not look thirty , if .as old. It
is only iu conversation tlmt bis
added years become apparent. From
the very sentimental complexion of
affairs at present it qulto seems that the
result would huvo been tbo name if the
prince had the good fortune to bo a thor
oughbred American and without anything
to recommend him to .bis bride and father-in
law except himself ,
Castle Schonstoin , which will bo the future -
turo residence of the prince aad princess , is
quito a realization of the dreams of all
young ladles who read novels. It is located
on a precipitous cliff on the Rhine and its
picturesque , ivy-grown gray walls and tow-
crs are tLo most Imposing feat tire
m the landscape for many miles.
It lias tbo felicity of being
nlno hundred years old , having
been built by tha feudal Haizfoldts and oc
cupied without a break by their descendants
up to now. The estates uro extensive and
the farms and woods stretch In all directions
over n picturesque , rolling country , soitbnt
the prlncess-to-bo will bo Iho sovereign of
all uho surveys In several directions at least.
There are three old churches in ruins among
oilier adornments of the Fief environments ,
and the legends that cluster thereabout from
the Btory of the slrgo of 1S48 , back through
tbo realms of semi-mythical tradition will bo
a liberal education in yeoman history if any
body ever masters them.

HAWAII'S IMtOl'OSlTIO.V.
The Conditions Under Which She

SAN FUANCISCO , Oct. IS. Advices from
Honolulu by the steamer City of Pckiu say
the Hawaiian cabinet , in response to a com-
mittco of citizens who made inquiry as to
the relations with the United States , has 1s-
sucd a statement saying that as to the result
of nearly a year's consideration iho minister
resident nt Washington has beou instructed
to ascertain whether the government of tlio
United States Is willing to entertain a propo
sition looking to tlio extending of treaty re
lations so as to enhance and Increase the com
mercial and political benefits now enjoyed.
Should ho ibid such willingness lie is In
structed to open negotiations with the
United States government for the conclusion
of u treaty whereby iho following objects
may bo secured :
" 1. Tocoutinuo in force all treaties and
conventions now existing until It is to the
mutual udvautago to abrogate or modify
them.
" 3. All products of cither country which

Hawaiian government in all Its domains , aad
its right of sovereignty over such domains.
"To cnabla the United Stale * government

fi3 ! FOUIITEESTU STHKKT , }
\VA9in.xaTOX. U. O. , OcU IS. )
There are good reasons for believing that
the manufacturers of the country Intend to
nslc the election of Major MoKlntoy , of Ohio ,
us speaker of the Fifty-first congress.
Hon. Robert P. Porter , editor of the Now
York Press , a representative of the manu
facturers of the country nud a standard au
thority on the tariff , says to your correspond
cut that ho and his friends are forMclCinloy ,
nnd that the Ohio man will bo elected.
To-day's ' Baltimore American has tbis from
Its Washington correspondent , who quotes
Mr. Porter :
"I believe Major MciCinloy will bo elected
because ho Is the man the manufacturers
want. They know that the tariff will bo revised -
vised by the coming congress , and it Is only
natural and proper that they should fool the
deepest Interest in the selection of tlmt man
to preside ever the house in whom they
Imvo always recognized the ablest
champion of their industries. I Imvo
reason to believe that they have discussed
the subject nud that they will bring pressure
to bear upon their respective congressmen.
There has boon some talk of a formal meet
ing to bo held just before congress convenes
for the purpose of formally endorsing Major
McKinley , but I hardly belicvo that such n
meeting will bo held. Major Mclvinley may
not bo elected on the first ballot in the cau
cus. On the contrary , Mr. Reed , of Maine ,
may poll the biggest vote , but his first vote
will. I think , bo his largest nnd unless ho
goes through with n rush on that ballot 1
, hink his following will ntonco begin to drop
iff. There nro many congressmen who are
ivilllng to give Mr. Reed their llrst vote as a
ivcll earned compliment , but who after that
ivill consider tin msolv ; s nt liberty to vote
'or their urofercnco. 1 don't believe that
ho statements to the effect that the Now
L'ork and Pennsylvania delegations are solid
'or Mr. Reed are founded on fact. I don't
liiuk that either of the delegations are solid
'or anybody Just yet. "
ARIZONA'S ASPIRATIONS.
"Wo-shall make a vigorous effort to induce
congress to admit Arizona to statehood this
ivintcr , or rather provide laws by which \vo
jnay como in some time next year , " says N.
O. Murphy , who Is the secretary of the ter
ritory and who is now in the city. "As to
what the politics of Arizona will bo I do not
know , it is uncertain , but sure it is that aro-
mullcnn congress could not do n moro popu-
ar thing to mulco Arizona republican.
"The outlook for prosperity with us has
jicvcr boon brighter. The output of mctnls
will bo larger this year than ever baforc.und
according to the assessment rolls , the prop
erty of the territory has increased
something over 53,000,000 during the
last twelve months. Tlio principal agri
cultural valleys nro attracting widespread
attention , not only for the variety but quan
tity of their products. When the railroads
now being projected in Arizona tire com-
Dieted , bringinir communities closer together
commercially and furnishing cheaper and
better facilities for traffic and the inter
change of commodities for homo consump
tion , us well as oxoart , then Arizona will
successfully compete with any other com
monwealth In the union. Arizona will muko
; i light with Wyoming and Idaho to secure
statehood at the upproacning session of con
gress , and the prospects are that the ad
mission to the union of moro now states will
bo a feature of the winter's work "in con
gress. "
THE VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN.
Much moro intorcstjust now attaches hereto
to the campaign pending in Virginia than in
Ohio , New York or any other state , for the
reason that there are doubts as to the result
in Iho Old Dominion , and then it is very near
the national capital.
Among these who are speaking for Mahono
is Representative Cheadle , of Indiana. Mr.
Chcadlc taKes a disconr.iginc view of the
outlook , it seems , so fur as the natural dis
position of the bourbons is concerned. Ho
has written from Dauvillo to your corre
spondent as follows :
"At Danville the owners would not rent
tlio theater or hall for republican speaking ,
and thcro Is a city ordinance prohibiting
btreet speaking , so I could not speak hero.
A city ol 12,000 people and nearly 0,000 white
republicans In It. This country is sixty
miles square. At Callands , twonty-tlvo
miles In the country , I held asucccssful.meet-
ing to-day. Democrats cumo to hear und wo
tnado voles for the tlcKets. At Calhimln I
mot throe old friends who voted for W. 11.
Harrison nnd General Hen. There are 100
white republicans in that precinct. "
Mr. Cheadlo goes on to say that the whlto
democrats are so prejudiced ugainst the
negroes that they are becoming almost rabid ,
and it looks as though a full ballot and a-fnir
count would bo impossible. Under the cir
cumstances it would be almost a miracle for
Mnhono to secure the returns from his elec
tion.
tion.Judga Waddcl , of Henry county , Vir
ginia , spoke to a crowd of 1,500 people on
Uroad street , Richmond , last night , on the
methods practiced by democrats to prevent
the negroes from voting In Jackson ward.
In the course of his remarks ho said :
"It is wrongand unless stopped will result
in bloodshed. "
Ilo insisted that tha negroes should bo al
lowed to vote , nnd addedro : intend to
give them a cliunco to vote , and furthermore ,
wo propose to t'ivo these who Imvo been
keeping them from voting a clmnco to go to
the penitentiary. "
THIS nescRTioN nionLEM.
Secretary Proctor will receive to-morrow
the testimony taken by the board of inquiry
appointed to ascertain if possible why thcro
are RO many desertions from the army.
Without mvaltlni : the mass of testimony as
to the causes , however , the department to
day uiado thu ilrst practical move to avoid
desertions. General order 'No. 77 , issued
this afternoon , directs that hereafter thcro
shall bo an Interval of six days between the
day of enlistment and the day
of taking the oath. During this tune
the recruit will bo known as a "recruit on
probation , " The purpose of this innovation is
clear. The six days' interval will give the
newly enlisted man a cliauco to repent of the
stop ho has tnketi before it is too lato. It
will give him also aaliulit opportunity to hear
and HCO something of the Ufa that awaits
him for llvo years of sorvlco. Many a now
recruit will bo very willing to take olt his
uniform before the day comes when ho takes
the oath , and thus the army Is saved u deser
tion , Experience bus proved that a largo
proportion of the deserters are men who re
gretted their action utmost Immediately
after enlisting und who are determined from
the very outset to desert. Hy this new order
thu man may leave it if ho repents without
deserting , und the army Is saved an unwill-
lug soldier and the ex pen so of capturing and.
punishing fur years a certain deserter.

New Indictments Found In Order to
Increase Unlit
CHICAGO , Oct. 18. The work ot securing a
ury in the Cronin case was resumed this
morning In the criminal court.
Jerry O'Doiinell und Thomas ICavaiinugh ,
of thosn who were rcarrcstcd last night on
the now indictments returned yesterday ,
, ven > bailed out this morning. The state's
ittornoy stated that the object In having the
men reindicted was to havq their bail llxcd
at a higher figure. In cases "of conspiracy it
s customary to have an Indictment returned
against all the prisoners jointly. The state's '
utoraey also said there was ifolhiug in iho
rumor that this indictment held the prisoners
for complicity In the murder of Dr. Cronin
as accessories after the fnqt.
The grand jury is again 'in session to-day ,
but so far nothing important has transpired.
The Journal says tlmt additional evidence
ms been secured against 13. W. Smith , ono
of Ihc menundor indictment for conspiracy
to bribe the jurors in the Cronin caso. The
story ii to the effect that two men volun-
.arily sought an inlerviow with State's At-
.orney LonpcenecUer last night aiid revealed
o him the fact that Smith had approached
them with iho suggestion' that they could
make money by acting 'cia ' lurors'On .Uic
3ronin case. They ropned they had not
even been summoned .as venire men. To
this they said Smith replied that bo would
Ix it so that they would bo summoned ; that ,
f they would so frumo their answers as to
bo accepted on the jury ana would then hold
out for acquittal they would bo paid 31COO
each. The men are Messrs. Francis and
Wolf , members of a dry goods firm in Knglo-
wood.
No additional Jurors were secured in the
Cronin case to-duy.
Michael A. Manloy , who has a room on
Oak street opposite the residence of Alex
ander Sullivan , was before the stalo's attor
ney this evening. Nothing of what Manloy
said could bo learned from him or tbo slate's
attorney , but the report becunio current that
Mauley was asked as to whether
ho had not seen Suspects Cooney and
and Clan-nu-Gaol named
Coughlln u - - man
Fey and another man onlor Mr. Sullivan's
house together during March. Accoaipanv-
ing this rumor was the report that Mauley's
examination did not provo very fruitful.
Another expressman has been brought
Into thu caso. Ho was taken to Iho stale's
attorney's ofllco to-night and confronted by
young Carlson , a son of Iho aged owner of

STAHUKD HIS WIF13 IN COUUT.
A Jealous Husband Frustrated in nn
Attempt nt Murder.
INDIANAPOLIS , Oct. 18. [ Special Telegram
to TUB Bci : . ] Henry Smith , a hucksterwas
defendant yesterday in Justice Judkiu's
court on a charge of threatening his wilo's
life. When Smith was led into the court
room ho nadressed the squire saying ho was
not ready for trial. The 'squire asked him if
bo could furnish bond , and then Smith turn
ing to his wife , said : "Sco what you have
brought us to. I'll fix you. "
With that bo drew a largo knife from his
pocket nnd sprang nt his wife. Grabbing
her by the tnroat with his left baud ho
plunged the knife into her throat within a
quarter of an inch of the jugular vein. He
was about to stab her a second time when
'Squire Judklns and some of the spectators
sprang forward and caught bis arm.
In 1111 instant the wildest confusion pro-
vallc'd in the court room , Some women who
hud accompanied Mrs. Smith ran wildly
about screaming and a general rush for the
stairway leading to the street fol
lowed. Mrs. Smith fell to the
floor insensible , and the justice and constable
struggled with the desperate husband lo prevent -
vent him from striking another blow. Smith
was soon overpowered and disarmed , but
begged for the knife that bo might cut his
own throat.
The trouble Is duo to Jealousy nnd Smith
declared ho bad no regrpt for what ho had
done except that the blow was not fatal.

\VisinsoTox , Oct. 18. Secretary Nublo's
llrst letter to Commissioner Tanner on the
subject of 1Mb rerntlng of pensions is made
public to-night. It is dated July SI. The
secretary acknowledges the receipt of Tan
ner's loiter of July 11 , marked "unofficial , "
jut which ho could not receive as anything
out an ofllulal paper , raising as it did the
question of authority butwcon the commis
sioner and the secretary and asserting that
.ho commissioner is to bo the superior as to
the mutter discussed.
'Your ' position in your own language , "
the "is that 'whtlo the
says secretary , secre
tary of the Interior has power to reverse the
decision of the commissioner of pensions on
appeal by a claimant against whom the com
missioner lias decided , on the other hand ,
f for any reason it should bo hold that
the claimant 1ms been granted too
much pension the commissioner himself Is
.lio only person who has the power
o call n halt nnd rcduco the pension. ' The
commissioner is laboring under a great mis
apprehension. The secretary has power to
correct any abuses in the bureau of pensions ,
or any other bureau in his department , "
The secretary in support of his position
quotes copiously from the revised statutes ,
and adds :
"It will not do to say that the secretary
may not interfere and stop by his own power
the execution of nny orders obviously illegal
and arbitrary. The secretary is reponsiblo
for the conductor the commissioner , Is bound
lo sco that the law is unforced , that.the puu-
llu treasury Is not unlawfully invaded , and
that one citizen entitled to a right , whether
of a pension , land or anything else , is not un
duly preferred either in the tiuio of hearing
or in the allowance of money. "
The secretary takes up the rernting cases ,
which , ho says , seem to bo largely mere in
creases of pension allowed for long periods
[ irior to the date of the examining surgeon's
corttrtcato establishing the sumo under the
[ lending claim for increase. "In fact , " ho
jays , "tho commissioner himself "acknowl
edged them to be cases of increase of pen
sions. "
The secretary continues : "Tho oases re
ferred to were ten in number. In each ono
of these the claimant was an employe in the
pension bureau , receiving a salary sulllcicnt
for his comfortable subsistence and was at his
work daily. They were associated together ;
most of them had been in their places under
former administrations , but they did
not then prefer their claims. They
made them soon after the advent
of tlio present administration. There
was no reason under the existing rules that
their cases should bo made special or- rushed
through in advance of all others. On the
contrary , there was then , nnd hud been for
BOtno years , a printed rule In full force that
no oases 'should bo made special exccptjur
'
case of destitution , or when the'applicant
was at the point of death. Yet these cases
were all hurried through by your order ,
while hundreds of thousands of other appli
cants were awaiting throughout the
land the allowance for the lirdt lima
of the bounty the government had
promised them. Tlicso other pension claim
ants were , many ol them , supported by no
such salaries as these particular men were
receiving , and the association together of
those men , where by this preference seems to
have been secured , and the subsequent al
lowances obtained IB in itself n fact that
shows that their purpose was to impose
upon the commissioner. A further fact In
each case is tliat the increase was allowed
prior to the surgeon's certillcato in the pend
ing claim , nnd that , thu sums allowed ngcrc-
gate over $10,000.
"Neither you nor I can afford to act upon
personal considerations in a matter of this
magnitude. Wo arc cacli bound by tlio law
in all things and It Is our duty to take the
law as wo llnd it.Vo are to fully exercise
that power given to either of us and to ab
stain from its abuse to any dcgreo what
ever. "
The secretary refers to the duties of the
board of review and says it is an established
nnd well Known rule that the department
will uniformly refuse to disturb an
adjudication of claims by a fonnor
administration except upon the most
conclusive uvidenco that error has been
committed. "U'hen a question us to the pro.-
prioty of a given rating is ono of Judgment
merely , depending upon the weight of evi
dence , the department will not allow the
opinion of to-day to overturn the opinion of
yesterday ; and , furthermore , old cases will
not bo reopened , reconsidered nor readjusted ,
except upon the presentation of new and ma
terial evidence tending to show the existence
of n palpable error or mistake. The depart
ment docs no.t entertain the least object ion to
the increase of n pension , the increase to
commence under the pending claim as the
law directs and upon evidence to support it. "
The secretary then reviews nt considera
ble length the cases of three of thu pension
olllco employes whoso pensions were roratcd ,
and concludes that the rcraling was illegal
and unwarranted. Ilo adds :
"I will not go into tlio other cases. They
nro before you. I Imvo said enough , I think ,
to show that the secretary may well call a
halt until Ihcso cases can bo more carefully
examined. I notice you say in your letter
that you Imvo such regard fur your ofllclal
and personal reputation that you will
not permit thcso cases to remain
as they nro , but will order
each claimant for medical examination
before mon whose word upon medical points
cannot bo challenged. The question is not
what may boreal tor bo found out about these
men. The question is what should Imvo been
done upon their record us it stood when
Judgment was rendered. It may bo that this
government is strong and great and lias at
Its command n surplus that no other nation
over had , hut if sums of money to tlio
amounts above mentioned may bo granted
without any further consideration of fact or
law than seems to have been given In tiicso
cases it will depend solely upon a single of-
ilcer's disposition whether the resources of
the government shall bo BUfllclcnt for its
maintenance or not. There are moro than
enough of thcso applications already on
lllo und Increasing dully to cxhuuttt the sur
plus of which so much has been said in con
nection with this matter , and I am informed
this applications for roratlngs nro greatly on
the increase , aiid now reach the amount of
from seven to eight thousand a week. "
The secretary further says that ho Intends
to Imvo ull thcso cases ro-oxatnined and has
ordered an investigation of the pension
ofllco. Pending the report of the Investigat
ing committee ho will Issue no further order ,
but expresses Ills belief In his authority to
control the abuses i.i his department by any
means ho deems legal and expedient.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 18. The nnnunl report
for the fiscal year 1SSS-0 of the commissioner
of pensions showj there were nt the close of
the year -ISO IM pensioners. There were
added to the rolls during the year named
il.OJt now pensioners , 1,751 were restored to
the rolls nnd 10,607 dropped from the rolls for
various causes. The amount paid for pensions
during tlic year was SS8'Jiiilii. : The amount
paid as fee * to attorneys was StWi,5Si. ! : ;
Smco 1S'.H Ihcru has been Hied 1UISJI
pension claims , of which ? Sl'll ' ! ! hnvo been
allowed , tlio n mount disbursed on account
of pensions since IStll being ? I(7 ( > 2.MS.-ui. ;
During the pist tlscul year 145tOS ! certifi
cates were Issued , MIU1 being originals.
At thocloso of the year there were pend
ing unallowed 4ill,000 claims of all classes.
The commissioner recommends tlmt congress - '
gross bo asked to amend lho.net of Juno it ,
ISM , so as to extend tha bcnollt of all pen
sion laws to all pensioners whoso pensions
Imvo been granted by special acts subsequent
to the said date , nnd tlmt pensions bo granted
the widows of soldiers who died ,
from causes originating lu the service ,
prior to 1SS1 during time of peace. Ilo fur
ther recommumlH that tlio act of March ! ) ,
1377 , bo amended to grant pensions to these
who having participated in the rebellion
subsequently unlisted In the army or navy uf
the United Stntt-s and were disabled therein.
Tlio commissioner recommends now legis
lation to rectify the inequalities in ( the
ratings , and cites Instances to
show tlio unfairness In the rates now pro
vided by law. Ilo thinks this statute should
bo amended so us to permit u rule of $7pur
month to bo proportionately divided for disa
bilities shown to bo Incident to tha service
and the line of duty. The injustice' and
unfairness caused bv the lav of
Juno 10 , IShO , limiting the right
of pensions to receive ? r per month to those
who were receiving S.1U per month at the date
of the law should be corrected. No pro
vision Is made for grading tnia rate for per
sons totally helpless on tliat date , hut not re
ceiving $ , > 0 at ttio time , and none for these
who huvo become totally helpless since that
dato.
The commissioner proposes to pension
all soldiers who were disabled. On Ibis
point , ho says :
"As the war period recedes from us and
ago and its attendant Inllrmitlcs aflllct
the veterans , It is a serious question
whether the government docs him Jus
tice in limiting the application of the pen
sion laws to those disabilities only which
were contracted in the service. I earnestly
recommend tlmt n pension bo granted to
every honorably discharged soldier nud
sailor who is now , or who may hereafter become -
como disabled , and ' without regard to
whether such disability is chargeable to the
service of the United States or has boon con
tracted since discharged therefrom. "
The commissioner calls attention to
what ho believes to bo the
manifestly insuftlclont sum ( { 3 per month )
granted by the act of Ibfll ) to widows for the
care and support of minor children under
sixteen years of ago.
The commissioner also favors a pension for
army nurses , and makes an earnest plea in
their behalf.

Ho sustains the present classification that

The decision recltos the uniform decisions

to the classification of these ores since 1SSO ,
and says , in view of the fact that since the
original decision congress has re-enacted the
pro-existing provisions of the tarilT with re
gard to load and silver ores , the secretary
does not fcol at liberty to sot aside the ex
isting classification. Ilo also quotes from
the report of the judiciary committee of the
senate last year to the effect that ores of the
character uientiunu 1 , namely ores contain-
ins more lead in weight than cither gold or
silver , but moro gold or silver in value , nro
not , in the opinion of the committee , subject

A Civil Sorvi < ; _ - Knot Untied.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 18. Jn compliance with
the request of the president , Socilitor Gen
eral Chapman rendered an opinion upon the
question submitted by the civil service com
missioners.
In April J. M. Taylor was appointed in the
regular way as a railway postal clerk , Tay
lor , however , did not t.iUo the oath of oftlco
until May I ? , ISS'J. Tlio time when the rule
to include the railway mail service should go
into effect having qeen extended from March
15 to May 1 , the question came up whether
Taylor should not Imvo been subject to a
civil sorvlco examination. The solicitor gen
eral finds that the fact tlmt Taylor did not
tnUu the onth of ofllco until uftur Muy 1 is
immaterial upon the question of his right to
hold the ofllco to which ho was appointed on
April 29. It is understood tlmt n largo num
ber ot appointments were made to the rail
way mail service Just prior to May 1 , and in
a largo percentage of thcso cases thu ap
pointees were , owing to iho shortness of the
tlmo , unable to take the necessary o.ith ,
which fact it has boon contended renders
their appointments void. The opinion was
approved by the attorney general.
