OFFIN5IVE FABTISAXAHlr ILLUSTRA.TID. The senate has removed the injunction of secrecy from the report of the committee on pnstonices and postroads in the case of Herbert Williams to be postmaster at North Bend, vice Chauncy W. Hyatt, removed. The committee applied for and received tho papers in tbe case. It appears, tho committee says, from the papers and documents in the case that Mr.

Hyatt is the editor and proprietor of a newspaper published at North Bend. Several copies of his newspaper were filed in support of tbe application for his removal. Editorial articles tending to illustrate tbe offensive partisan. ship of the man whose removal from office was requested and is now proposed, were in dicated by pen and pencil lines drawn around tbem. In the issue of tbe paper of June 17, low, tbe committee rinds an article indicating as follows, and ho copied it at length, viz: Democrats are not offensive partisans, as the following incident will prove: A little boy and girl was playjog in a yard; tbo girl finds an apple, and with an exclamation of delight, begins to bite it.

"Hold on, says tbe boy; throw it away, the colry is coming, an' if you eat that apple, you will be took sick, an' you can't talk, and" the doctor will come an' givo you some bad medicine, an' then you'll die. Tbo girl throws tbe apple down, and tbo boy, snatching it up, begins to eat it." "Don't," the girl says, "won't it kill you, toor "No," said tho boy, munching tho fruit, "it won't kill boys; it's only after little girls; boys don't have colry." It is not difficult to seo the point of this offensive article. Offensive partisanship dees not apply to Democrats; it's only after Republicans. Democrats do not havo it. It is evident that Hyatt cannot be a very bad man, or an inefficient officer, when it is shown that ho has such a keen appreciation of tbe character of the oft repeated offensive partisanship.

The injunction was also remeved from tbe report in the case of S. Evans, nominated to bo postmaster at Ottumwa la-vice A. II. Hamilton. Tho committee found this also to be a case ot offensive partisanship with no charges affecting the official or personal record of the outgoing official.

SO l'llAUU aTTIUITKIl. Acting Secretary Fairchild today receive a report from Commissioner Anderson as to tho detention of tbe British schooner Sisters, in which bo states that tho statements made by Captain Ellis, are in tho main correct, and ho had not discovered any attempt on the part of Captain Ellis to defraud tho revenue. Tho schooner was detained for a failure to comply with tho navigation laws and customs regulations. The case is referred to tho treasury department for a decision. A DAY SET.

At the meeting of the houso committee on labor today Mr. Daniels, of Virginia, was instructed at the first call of tbe cemmittee to set aside June 10th for the consideration of the substitute for the Blair education bill reported by the committee. CAPITAL BUPOKT. Tbo bill agrood upon by the house committee on labor providing for tbe incorporation of trades unions is the work of Congressman O'NielL The measure is asked for in the platform of tbe Knights ot Labor and by tbo federation of trades unions. An industrial bill is upon the senate calendar awaltinc artion.

At a meeting of tho house committee on education today Representative Miller, of Texas, introduced a substitute for the Blair educational bill. It appropriates $8,000,000 annually for ten years to be distributed among the states and torn-tories according to the ratio of illiteracy as established by the census of 1SS0. EADS' SUIT BAILWAT. Senator Conger presented in tbe senate today the report ot tbe committee en the Eads' ship railway bill. In the report the committee say that the project is a practicable one.

The committee report back the accompanying bill as a substitute for bill 681 with recommendation that it pass. FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS Senate. Washisoton, May 28. The chair laid before the hounj Mr. Wilson's resolution, offered yesterday, providing for the investigation by tho committee on Indian affairs into the matter of Indian traders by the commissioner of Indian affairs.

Mr. Dawes thought that tbo committee could not well enter on such a far-reaching investigation at this atago of the session. He added that while the subject of trading with the Indians needed revision it was a reproach to the United States that licenses should be necessary for a man to trade with the Indians. Our statutes relieved a white man of the slightest obligation to keep a contract with an Indian. Mr.

Cockrell would like to hear the statute read. Mr. Dawes read a section of tho revised statutes providing that no contract with the Indians shall be valid till approved by the interior department. He said the English of that section was that no white man need keep a contract with an Indian. Mr.

Butler asked if it relieved an Indian contract. Mr. Davit answered in the affirmative. Mr. Vest said the evil complained of was old and tbe resolution applied to the administration of the Indian bureau which did not reach the evil.

Mr. Taller did not care how careful honest tbe Indian commissioner or Indian ageat might be there was danger of fraud under our present ijstam but the system was at fault. He was indifferent as to what committee should investigate eut taought the subject should be looked ieto. The resolution was reft red to the easa-MiMes on Indian again. The NevsXlk V.

The pending question was to lay on the table the amendment of Mr. Van Wyck, which amendment would forfeit all land of the company terminus with and adjacent to such parts of the proposed line as should not have been completed at tbe date of the pass age of this act. Tbe motion to lay on the table was defeated. Yeas 23, nays 28.

The bill want over without actien. Mr. Van Wyck's bill for the taxation of railroad lands was then placed before the senate and under the plan of the discussion of this bill, the debate on the Northern Pacific forfeiture was continued. Mr. Edmunds called attention to the fact that the effect of the proceedings thus far on the Northern Pacific forfeiture bill was just the same as if the senators had all been em ployed by the railroad company to be devil to the bill and to do nothing at all in the matter to which it related.

During the debate, a reference by Mr. Van Wyck to the proceedings of tbe house of representatives, brought on inquiry from Mr. Butler as to whether such reference was in order. The presiding officer, Mr. Hawley, replied that so little that was really before tbe senate had been referred in the debate that tbe chair had net thought it worth while to call attention to any particular point as being out of order.

The bill before the senate he said had not been referred to for an hour. (Laughter,) Mr. Plumb read a bill heretofore introduced by Mr. Van Wyck to provide for the organization of stock companies to build branches of tho Union Pacific railread, and suggested that it was inconsistent with tho position assumed by that senator today. Mr.

Van Wyck defended his position and a protracted debate ensued, participated in by Messrs. Van Wyck, Edmunds, Plumb, Dolpfa, Vest, Mitchell and others, but it resulted in no action on the bill before tbe senate. After an executive session the senate adjourned until Tuesday next. House. On motion of Mr.

Morrie, Illinois, it was ordered that when the heuse adjourned tomorrow it be to meet next Tuesday. Private business having been dispensed with tho house went into tho committee of the whole on tho oleomsrgcrinc bill, the pending amendment being tbat offered by Mr. Daniel, of Virginia, reducing the special tax on retail dealers from $48 to $24. Mr. Van Schaick, of a protest from the executive board of Knights of Labor, of Milwaukee, against the passage of tbo bill.

Mr. Gibson, of West Virginia, regarded the whole bill as a fraud, and all the amend ments as simply aiding to carry out that fraud. If he (Gibson) uero allowed to give tbe names ot the members of congress who had told him here on tho floor that they kaew that the bill was an infamous and monstrous one, but tbat they were afraid to voto against it, he would make a revelation that would staitlo the country and show what a mockery this legislation was. Mr. Cannon, of Illinois Why not tell us their names? Mr.

Gibson I do not choose to do so, but it is a fact. Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, moved to strike out the provision tbat if any manufacturer of oleomargerino commences business subsequent to June 30, in any year, a special tax shall be recovered from July 1, and shall be $500. Mr. Butterwortb, ol Ohio, favored making olecmargerine sail under its true colors, but but was not in favor of taking it off the market.

Mr. Findlay, of Maryland, was opposed to tho bill chiefly becauso ho believed that it was tho most iniquiteus system of taxa tion ever devised or in the power of man Ho was in favor of repealing the tax on tobacco and cigars, a thing that was entirely lavoraDie. Mr. Hiscock, of New York, said that all the evil, tbe invective, tho filibusterings of the bull bullermen, the soap-grease butter-men, tho hog-fat buttermen, could drive the farmer out of court. The agricultural and dairymen were here and he (Hiscock) hoped and trusted to stay until we had an action on this.

The committee on agriculture, altera consultation with tho friends of the measure, had unanimously reported tho bill and the friends of this measure were pledged to it. Whenever the committee on agriculture saw fit to chango any of tbe provisions of the bill ho would vote for it, but he, for one, proposed to stand by this bill, letter by letter, lino bv line, section bv section, until he received that sign from the chairman of tno committee, and one word to the gentleman on the other side: if ho desired tbem to make a mistake in this matter ho would pray tbem to defeat this bill by filibustering. Seven millions and a half of the people of the United States were interested in this bill. The curtains were running up and the representatives were performing before tbem, and tbcv would net be recorded and not vote. Mr.

Breckcnridge, of Kentucky, suggested that the advocates of tbe bill were performing, in view of the people, for the purpose of going votes, but ho was willing to wait and seo whether they would receivo tbe applause of the pit. He desired to ask the gentleman in charge of the bill what amount money it would take to put tbe law into operatien. Mr. Hatch replied that he had information from the committeo of internal revenue that not a dollar of the appropriation was necessary to carry the act into execution. Tho motion to strike the provision out was lost.

Mr. Warner of Missouri, regarded it as a great compliment to his state that the leader of the republican side (Hiscock) only awaited the nood of the gentleman from Missouri (Hatch,) to say how he would vote, but being a new member, accustomed to vote for what he believed to be right and against what he believed to be wrong regardless of tbe beck er nod of any man, he (Warner) must decline to follow in the wake of the gentleman in following the plume of the elegant gentleman from Missouri, (Hatch.) He has fought the battle of protection in his state when he was snowed under by fifty thousand majority. He had listened ta the speech of his colleague opposing every legislation that looked to the prelection of tbo labor of the country and yet today that gentleman was seeking, under the guite of protection te rust out one industry regardless of whether it was fraudulent or genuine, for the purpose of building up another industry. (Applause.) Mr. Warner, of Missouri, offered an amendment excluding from the provisions of the bill such oleomargcrinc as can be shown to the satisfaction of the commissioner of internal revenue to be as wholcsomo as butter.

Rejected. Tho amendment submitted by Mr. Daniel was rejocted. Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, moved to strike out the clause requiring oleomargerice to bo packed in new wooden packages.

He did not, he said, know the purpose of this provision, but it looked like a job. It loeked not only like an effort to protect butter but to protect barrels. Rejected 35 to 88. Mr. McAdoo, of New Jersey, thought that the heuse should, if it adopted this bill, look into the subject of sausage and the subsidiary subject of the huh.

Myriads freo Americans in millions of boarding houses were swollen daily with hash, the component parts cf which no man know. Let the heuse place a tax of 75 cents on every dish and require every boarding houso keeper to file a statement oi tbo ingredients of his hash. Mr. Gibson, of Nebraska, bitterly denounced tho bill as a betrayal cf tbe Democratic party. On motion of Mr.

Hatch an amendment was adopted allowing retail dealers in oleo-margerine to pack the compound in paper packages. Mr. Townsbecd, of Illinois, offered an amendment reducing the tax on a pound of oleomargerino from ten to two cents. Mr. McCreary, of Kentucky, moved to fix tbe rate at flve'eents.

Rejected. Mr. Glass, of Tennessee, moved to fix it at one cent- Mr. Butter-worth, of Ohio, supported Mr. Townshend amendment.

If it could not stand on its own merit it ought to die; if it could stand and grow and Sourish there was no right in this congress te strike it down. If tbe people desire to buy it on its merit and citizens of the United States desire to manufacture it; he denied the right et congress to wipe it out because some other industry feund it in the field of competion. (Applause.) Pending action on tbe amendment the cossmittee rose and the speaker laid before the heuse several veto messages on private pension bills and they were referred to tbe eemsnittee on invalid pensions. Tbe house then toek a recess until 8 o'clock, tWevea-taf asejjea be for the consideration of emeioe effls.

Business Outlook. New Yore, May 28. Special telegrams to Bradstreets report a moderate gain in the movement of general merchandise at Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Milwaukee and St.

Louis. This is exclusive of dry goods and is mest favorable at St. Louis. On the other hand advices from Chicaco Kansas City, 8L Joe and Nashville are among those which have announced an augumented volume of business. The movement of merchandise is due in part to the near approach of tho end of spring and to smaller interior purchasers, owing to the ar rival ot the Dusy season lor agriculturists The seaboad markets reveal no special gain.

The outlook is considered mora favorable, but the improvement has not come. Among domestic momey markets there is a fcood demand for funds: at Milwaukee, St. Louis, Kansas City, Fort Worth and New Orleans, notably from the country. At Kansas City the request for funds is less than last week. This is true with Chicago also, where tbe late extra demand is said to have been mainly for speculative purposes.

The New York stock market has tended higher, with a bullishness, and it reached speculative activity. With the decreased labor troubles comes the anticipated better business, and prom' ises of pool harmony were freely quoted. Government bonds are firm, investment bonds and shares are sought for. Tbe improved feeling extends to speculative bonds, and those of the companies undergoing reorganization. Money is easy on call at 1 to 3 per cent Commercial paper is scarce, and fereign exchange firm.

Cotton goods havo improved somewhat in demands at east and prices were firm. At the interior there are no gains. Prints are steady. Wool is stronger but sales are no freer. Iron is dull and unchanged for best makes.

Steel is firm. Manufactured iron is in light demand except in special cases. Petroleum is low. The industrial situation is more hopeful than a week ago and the outlook for improvement is encouraging. The short-heur movement is a practical failure.

The wheat looks favorable for a good crap, and the markets arc dominated by the preepect. New York Stox. New Yoke, May 28. Stox opened steady and in the early dealings were somewhat feverish. This, however, disappeared after the first fifseen minutes and tbe market become stronger throughout all coal stox.

The market rallied, however, at about II a. m. and prices moved offslewly, tbe market becoming quieter still after 11 o'clock, when there was a considerable increase in activity and the downward movement was accelerated. Prices continued to fall until the close and the final figures are at or near tbe lowest of the day. NecK and Neck at the Finish.

New Yore, May 28. The Washington correspondent of tbe Herald telegraphs to his paper as follows: "Throe to one on June 16," shouted tho book-makers tonight. "Never having heard ef a horse by that name I sought in vain on the Jerome park list for tomorrow, then hunted over the latest turf guide. Twenty against one, June was tbo next bid. 'Why are these so asked a voice.

'Because it's answered the book-maker. 'A dad day for marrying, don't you The terrible reality burst upon me. The books were actually being made on the date of tbe president's wedding.

The Knights or Labor Continue the Session of their National Council at Cleveland, Ohlc. Cleveland, May 28. Today's meeting of the general assembly of the Knight of Labor promises to be very interesting. Several committee will repert, it is thought, and the further consideration of existing troubles between the Knights of Labor and unionists will be one of tbe mest important features of the program. The Knights of Labor buckled down to business today and had two sessions.

The committee on laws presented a report. Tbo committee recemmended that the general executive committee be increased from five to eleven members. After an hour's discussion the recommendation was agreed to. The new members will bo elected by ballot and will servo during the unexpired year which ends in October. The permanent headquarters will be opened in Philadelphia, and if necessary the board will sit throughout the year instead of assembling at the call of the general master workman.

A reselution was adopted giving Powderly power to recall the commissions of all organizers subject to the appointment ot competent organizers, and toe means to be taken fer their selection was being discussed when the noen recess occurred. The Knights of Labor executive board today submitted treaty and address of trades unions adopted by the latter at the Philadelphia convention. The address states the necessity for organization of labor and benefits hitherto derived from unions and says there need be no antagonism between Knights of Labor and unions. It quote immense growth of membership of unions and economy in general management. The treaty of course is the most important part of the bone of contention fer terms are agreed to by the Knights of Labor.

It will work radical changes in the management and operation ef local assemblies. The treaty as follows: First In a branch of labor having a national or international organization the Knights of Labor shall not admit any person from an assembly of persons following said organized craft or calling without the consent of the nearest national or international union. Second No person shall be admitted to the Knights of Leber who works for less than the regular rate of wages by union of his craft, and none shall be ad mitted to membership in the Kafaats of Laker -who have ever hasa coarrkSedof etMiatsstthe aaiea ehktraas hwthssasaa. IBS. of Labor atssembly of any trade having a national or international union shall be revoked and the members of the same be requested to join a mixed assembly or form a national union under tbe jurisdiction of their respective national or international umcc Fourth Tbe organizer of the Knights of Labor who endeavors to induce trades unions to disband, or interferes with their growth and prosperity, shall have his commission forthwith rescinded.

Fifth When a strike or lockout of any trades unionists is in progress no assemtly or district assembly of Knights of Labor shall interfere until it is settled to the satisfaction of the trades union affected. Sixth The Knights of Labor shall not establish nor issue any trade mark or label now issued or that may hereafter be issued by national or international trades union. The general assembly Knights of Labor settled down to hard work this morning and had two sessions, today's business being transacted on the eight hour plan, from 8 to 12 o'clock in the morning and 2 to 6 o'clock In the afternoon. Th executive board presented its report matters in controversv between trades unions aau me xuugnu oi Aoor. Tho convention took a recess at 6 o'clock until tomorrow, with a motion to refer the repert to the committee on the state of the order.

There are many candidates for the six as-sociatasbips of the executive board. The east, New York, middle states, west and southwest will each get a place. AH district assemblies organized in time to hand in the usual quarterly report will be entitled to representation at tbo Richmond convention, to be held in October. Good-bye Chicago. Chicago, May 28.

It is said Captain Schaak has in his possession tbo details of a plot concocted by the anarchists, which contemplated the blowing up ot tbe board of trade, police stations, and various other buildings in tbe city June 4th. Fresh information has reached Captain Schaak which will warrant two or more important arrests in the near future. Defense Dumbfounded. Chicago, May 28. While the indictments which were found acrainst the anarchists yesterday and returned into court were only a few in number apparently, much to the dismay of the attorneys for the defense they really numbered sixty, as each of tbe ten is separately indicted for the murder of six officers.

The ten are Spies, Schwab, Fieldsn, Fischer, ngel, Lingg, Seliger. Schwabel and Otcar Neebe. They are all in jail except Schwabel and Parsons. Wind, Hall and Rain. Sandusky, Ohio, May 23.

The inhabitants of the western portion of Erie and the western portion of Sandusky county in a few minutes timo yesterday suffered a loss of $15,000 by a terrible wind, hail and rain storm. Immense trees were uprooted and houses blown down, and many people hurt. At Bellview hail stones of immense size fell, and hundreds of begs, sheep and chickens were killed. At Bellview and North Monroe not a house was left uninjured. A number of people were hurt but none fatally.

In Limo township. James Hudson was blown against a troe and will die. Reports are coming in of fatalities further south. It is rumored that four children were killed in a falling house in Bellview, but it is not verified. Lapore, May 28.

At about mid night last night a whirlwind of terrific force accompanied by thunder, lightning and hail visited this section unroofing barns, twisting ofT signs and breaking glass, blowing down hugh trees, doing much damage to property, but there was no loss of life. Floating Down the River. Grand Rakss, May 28. At 7 o'clock last evening the Valley City mills' first and second floors fell into the basement, and a large portion of the contents were swept away by the mill race out into the Grand river. There were stored In the mill 18,000 bushels ol wheat and about thirty tons of bran.

In the western portion of the building ws tbe milling machinery, of the most improved and costly styles. The damage and loss is estimated at from to $100,000. The mills were Insured to the amount of $60,000, but the insurance is worthless, as it only covers damage by fire. Nova Scotia Dissatisfied. Halifax, May 28.

In an address just issued by Premier Fielden, tbe following occurs: "In the opinion of the government the time has come when tbe people of Nova Scotia should once more make an effort to obtain a release from the union into which they were forced. The dissatisfaction is so wide and deep that many are heard to say that no change could be for the worse. Some of those whe were the warmest advocates of tho confederation of 1867 are now tbe most outspoken in their expressions to hostilities. After the failure of the repeal legislation of 1869 to accomplish its main purpose, the people settled down, not cheerfully it must be admitted, to make the beat of the situation. 'Give the union a fair said some.

It has had a long and more than fair trial and the verdict against it is more emphatic now than before. We are assured by the fathers of the confederation that the affairs of the dominion could be carried on for twenty vears or more at an annual cost ef $1,000,000 or $2,000,000, but the expenditure exceeds the enormous amount of while the interest and charges in connsction with tho public debt absorbs nearly as much as we were told would pay the total expense of the government." Brooks-Maxwell-Prellsr. St. Louis, May 28. The proceedings in the Mexwell murder case were rather tame this morning in comparison to those of the last few davs, the time being occupied with expert medical testimony.

Or. Louis Bauer, ef St, Louis college, testified for the defense as to tho nature and methods ef using chloroform. The testimony of Dr. Bauer consumed the remainder of the session up te 1:30 o'clock, when the court took a recess, after which the depositions taken in Kagland, tending to show that the defendant, while living 'there, bore a good character, were read and this occupied the remainder of the afternoon. It is expected that the witnesses for the prosecution in rebuttal will be examined tomorrow, when some sensational developments may be expected.

Let 'em Flaht. Kansas Citt, May 2S. The trouble brewing in passenger rates to Chicago seems likely to develop into a general rate of cutting unless tbe existing differences are settled. Tbe Alton people deny the Burlington's charge that they are in collusion with scalpers, and each agent declares that his line is observing tbe agreement. There is little doubt, however, that Chicago tickets can be purchased below tarirT rates.

Northwestern rates are also unsettled. The Rock Island made a rate ot $15 to St. Paul.claim-Ing the rates had been cut by the Burlington, and it is reported that figures have been reduced in Northwestern rates, not being covered by the general managers agreement. A repetition of last summer's war is anticipated. Hunsrlo by the Necklo.

Washixotox, May 23. Antonie Nardello was hanged at the district jail near this city at p. in. He made a speech on the scaffold and protested his innocence. The crime for which Nardello was hanged was committed on tbe 23th or SOth of last July.

Carmine Botunca, a rather elderly Italian, boarded at the house of one Guedo. on Eighth street. He worked as a laborer and occasionally as a shoemaker. He had accumulated from $500 to $600. This money appears to have furnished the motive fer the murder.

Nardello, however, was disappointed in his expectation of securing the targe sum, for Rotunna had made it a rule to carry bet about $50 with him, leaving the balance with a friend. It was some days before the crime was discovered. Bo-tenna's body was found ia an unoccupied building. His throat had been cut and the floor and walls of the room were covered with blood. The crime was easily traced to araeUoand last December he was sen- ten ccd to behasged.

LojfDOX, May 28. Tbe house of commons was crowded this evening. Mr. Glai-stone, replying to a question by Sir Michael Hicks-Beacb, Conservative, said the government considered it as a duty after the second reading of the house bill not to ask tbe house to go into a committee on the measure, but adopt one of the methods which be (Gladstone) described at tbe Liberal meeting yesterday. The government, ho said, was inclined to allow the bill to lapse for the present session and to advise the queen to cause an early re-assembling of parliament, at which tbe bill would be reconsidered.

Ho was unable at that moment to speak more positively. Sir Michael, in view of the satisfactory viewof the government, moved an adjournment. He was greeted with cheers by tbe opposition, all tho conservatives responding to the support. After debate Sir Michael Rjkod leave to withdraw tbo motion. The l'arnellites, however, insisted upon tho admission as a joke.

The vote was ordered amid loud, ironical cheers. The leaders of the opposition voted with the government against adjournment. The motion was rejected by a vote of 405 to 1. The report or tho resolution was received with renewed laughter aud cheers. The arms bill passed third reading by a voto of 15G to 65.

Ingalls said that Gen. Black was drawing the largest pension tbat was paid to any soldier, and a salary of $5,000 a year in addition for trying to prevent honest old soldiers and their widows from receiving their pensions. He said Blaok had obtained his pension under false pretenses, on tho ground that he was totally disabled and incapable of performing any service, either mentally or physically, or pursuing any avocation which would enable him to support his family or educate bis children. If Black was a just or an honest man, ho would either resign his office or bis pension, becauso the one was utterly inconsistent with the other. If he was incapable of performing any mental or manual labor he was not entitled to the office.

If he was capable of filling the office he was not entitled to the pension. Mr. Voorhees defended Mr. Black quite as earnestly as Mr. Ingalls attacked him, and among other things said Black was as helpless as a child in its mother's arms when the pension was granted him.

Mr. Ingalls replied that when Black's pensien was granted. Black was a candidate for congress, and that he had been upon tbe stump making speeches for the Democratic party; that he had been a candidate for the governorship of Illinois and the United States sentale; that he had never ceased from the time be came out of the war to tbe present day to practice his profession and make a profitable living, and that his pension was granted upon Black's own allegation that he was totally disabled; tbat he was an abiolute physical wreck, and that the pension was given him upon allegations of facts that do not and never did exist. He is not and never was totally disabled, but was an imposter, and is receiving a pension to which he is not entitled. Mr.

Ingalls, with some feeling, recited bow this man was drawing a pension to which he had no right, and was placing himself in the way of honest claimants to pensions and denouncing his honest predecessors with having used the pension office as a political machine. He cited tbe case of a poor soldier in Kansas who was totally blind as a result of his service in the war, and said Black had revoked the decision upon which a pension had been granted simply upon a technicality. This man was a thousand times more entitled to a pension than Black himself was, and yet the latter with $100 a month In his own pocket was trying to prevent the gov-ernmeat from peyiasc this poor blind aaa his just dues. He said tbe case was appealed te the asaistact secrUry, and finally te the secretary of the interior, and that Both of them agreed that tbe pension should be granted, but that Black feught the case with a persisteocT that could only be born ef prejudice. He was determined te prevent the old blind man from gettbg bis dees.

Mr. Yoorbeas responded again and declared that Black had never admitted be was mentally incapable or that he was Drofeaaioa br reason of his ohTskal disability, and he described how Black had ssJered and how he had un dergone operations, and wast a temsietise he bad bad as a result of his service to his country. thoos Kack't pecaaea was a just one, sad as to the charge that prs-aacaseom had ased the oSca for political purposes that was sow heteg invseogsted. and he would prefer te wait and have aS the the fiieU brought oat Mr. IsaaSs said that Bteek was aet oarytrjitg to prrraet hoeest ssimsss owes hat that he was tadaaat the arasHirtto vetohfflsaasssihy inaiai to reaedyUw Xr.
