In answer they received the following from General Manager Newton : "Replying to your favor of the Ugtn , In Mr. Sherwood's absence und having referred to the correspondence , I have to say that this case is evidently ono in which Mr. Pryor de mands of us a contribution to save himself a little individual expense. Wo have not found the commissioners1 rate sufficiently remunera tive to place us in bonds to make such con tributions nnd I do not think the honorable board In establishing these rates contemplates any such contribution by the railroad com panies.

This is a plaiu attonint to cross a bridge before you get to it. The complaint has been filed with the commission , according to law , by a citizen of Iowa , a state in which every ono , rich or poor , white or black , granger or railroad manager , is equal before the law. It has been the practice of this board , and I trust always will bo , to give a hearing to every complaint filed with it , no matter how humble a citizen the complainant may bo , Mr. Pryor mokes ap plication for a crossingover.ypur road ; honsks lisa favor that it may bo put on a line straight north , so that ho can avail himself bf a county bridge to the county scat. "Tim necessity for n crossing was created by the building of your road and it stiould bo your aim to deal fairly and good naturedly with the people along your line from whom you expect in a largo measure the revenues necessary to defray expenses and pay divi dends. As your road was bankrupt before the commissioner * ' rates were enacted , your remarks in regard to the commissioners' rates not being remunerative are entirely gratuitous , especially when wo consider that under the commissioners' rates your freight business In 18V.I Increased over UK ) per cent , jumping from $30,1)92. ) 1' in 1888 to S17S.'i4Ol in IbSO.

U. . Dec. : i. I Secretary Xoblo has been having numerous consultations of la'to with member : } of the house committee on pensions with a vlow to effecting some reforms In tlio pension admin istration. There has heen an outcry in sev eral ot the eastern pipers of late aj.ilnst al-a logod pension abuse ; , and to some uxtcnt those abuses exist , although they are not of recent origin , hut are rather the outgrowth of years. As a result of the consultation this morning Captain Hclknnp of the house com mittee on pensions introduced a bill , which Is approved by Secretary Noble and Commis sioner Kuum , cutting down the fees of pen sion attorneys from $10 to ? l In cases of In crease of pension. Last month the depart ment kept an account of the amount paid to attorneys for fees In pension cases , and the Item for increase of pensions alone was $30,000 , or n payment of $10 by each of 8,000 in ono month. It is said that the service rendered by the at torney is purely nominal , ns nil nuullcnnt need only send to the department a pnyst- clan's ' certificate that ho deserves an increase of pension and the department will thereupon issue nn order for his examination before the local pension board. Another abuse which Is expected to bo remedied Is that by which applicants for pensions secure successful examinations of their cases.Vhon the result of their iirat examination is sent hero some pension attor ney gets hold of it and sends tlio results of the medical testimony to the applicants. If it is unfavorable ho generally complains thut the medical men have been unfriendly to htm nnd asks for nn examination In another county. This Is granted , and If it is again unfnvorablo ho U3hsr another examination , which is granted. These examinations are kept up. each tiino costing the government 80 , nnd in the end the applicant with a very poor case is able , to secure some examining board which will report his case favorably. The purpose Is to secure some rule or law which will" cut off a claimant who has been ouco discredited by nn examining board from securing suc cessive examinations. Another stop is particularly directed against the Washington claim agents. There nro auouMtdrty thousand pconlom Washing ton engaged in this claim business. They have been treated with every courtesy at the pension ofllco and in many cases it has bcon found that they toolc advantage of this cour tesy , It Is said thjtf ) there nro cases in which they have stolen papers from the files in order to destroy the evidence which prevented the allowance ot urttnentorious claims. SOILO means of preventing this freedom of hand ling the confidential papers of the depart ment Is to ho doviscd. It seems to bo con ceded that a general revision of pension rules would show a lar o number of uumorltorious claims. Such all investigation would ho very costly , but It Is thought that In the end the saving it would "bring about to the govern ment would fullyi win-ant it. The question of having such nil investigation" Is being con sidered now , nnd Captain Bellcnap said today that ho thoughtSthOj first stop towards this , extensive movoipgpV'WOuld bo taken during the present sessuvrf .

SII.VKH ADVOATI53 ACHUKSSIVC. The silver men are very aggressive. They como to Washington this session determined to make another demand for free coinneo.and they Insist that all other legislation shall bo cleared out of the "way. They do not like the president's message , but they uro confi dent ho will sign aJreo coinage bill If it is passed. The silver advocates'upon the re publican side in both houses of congress nro moro anxious to secure action , nt this session because they want their party to receive the credit of free coinage , and not leave It for the democrats to secure In the next congress. The democrats are moro thau ordinarily in terested in doing something because they suppose tlio president will veto a free coinage - ago bill , nnd want the republicans to endure the odium of the act at the elections of 189 , so the members of both parties , for opposite reasons , want a bill passed , and sav they will hitch it onto one of the appropriation hills , If they cannot pet it through any other way. This can bo done under the rules of the sen ate , but cannot bo done in the houso. The republicans say they do not sou how their party can suffer oven if the president does vote a silver bill. Other presidents have done the same tblng. DISAllMAMEKT OP THE INDIANS. The Indian ofllco Is preparing an answer to the resolutions presented in the senate yes terday by Mnndortton proposing the disarma ment of the Indians in Scuth Dakota. It will favor the proposition and recommend that the peaceful Indians ho disarmed first and when their arms are received that they shall bo given checks for them so .that when the government is ready to deliver the arms to tlieir owners the checks shall bo evidence of ownership. The system proposed H some thing lilto that of a man checking an um brella nt a hotel. After the peaceful Indians have been , disarmed it is proposed to use their influence to induce the hostiles to give up their arms peacefully if possible , but re sort to force If ni'essary. .
