All of Tliem Having Reference to the Grant
ing of Pensions.
Washington special: President Clove
land sent to tho houso to-dny thirty mes
sages vetoing ns many privates pension
bills. Tlicso messages arc- all short and
terse, and tho conclusions reached in soma
ol them ns to tho demerits of tho cases
mako rich and raro reading. Ono of tho
cases Is that of James II. Dnrllng, whoso
disability is described in tho records ns a
general stiffness of tho joints. Tho prcsl
dent says it nppears Darling enlistod in
November, 1801, and was reported as
having deserted March G, 1802. An ex
amination in 1882 found this "victim" or
war disability with tho appcarnnco of a
hnle.henrty old man, weighing 108 pounds.
"It is evident to me," ho concludes, "that
tills man ought not to bo pensioned."
Commenting on another caso, a bill for tho
relief of William liishop. who was enrolled
li? a substituto March 25, 1805. admitted
to hospital with measles May G, returned
to duty May 8, anil was mustered out
May 11. 1805. tho president in vetoing tho
bill, says: "This Is tho military record ol
this soldlor, who romaincd In tho army ono
month and seventeen days, having entered
it as a Btibstituto at a tlmo when high
bounties woro paid. Fifteen yours after
this terrific encounter with tho iiiciibIos,
and on tho 28th day of Ji.no, 1880, tho
claimant discovered that h's attack of
monies had some relation with his army
enrollment, and this dlscsso settled In his
eyes, also affecting his spinal column." Of
another caso In a bill for tho roll of of Julia
Connolly, tho widow of Thomas Connolly, a
soldier inustored into tho servlco Oct. 10,
1801, the president says: "Ho never did
ii day's service, so far as his namo appears
on tho records. Ho visited his family about
Doc. 15 and wns found drowned in a canal
about six milos from bis home. Tlioso who
prosecuto claims for pouslons," tho presi
dent adds, "havo grown very bold whon
cases of this description aro prosoutod for
consideration." A bill grunting a pen
sion to Andrew J. Wilson, who
it appears, was draftod into tho servlco In
Fobrunry, 180G, and wns discharged In
September of tho samo year, on account of
chronic nephritis and deafness, and who in
his application for pension alleged rheuma
tism resulting from exposure, and minim
mntion of the muscles of tho buck, with
pain in tho kidneys, dlurrhtuii, and rupture,
tho president dismisses Willi nils romimt:
"whutover oIbo may bo said oi iiiisciuim
ant's achlovomeiits diirlni! hi short mill
tary career, it must bo conceded that ho
contracted a great deal ol disability.
There Is no doubt in my mind that what
ever ailments ho mayhoncHtly Iny cliilin to,
his title to samo was completo boforo ho

of Uie V. 8. Congress.
Senate, Juno 24. Logan moved as an
amendment tho provision of tho bill bore
toforo passed by the senate fixing all dis
trict judges' salaries at $5,000 a yoar
Logan advocated an nmondment, which

nddrcssed tho senate on tho bill. Tho bill
was then passed yens 34, nays 20. Tho
Fitz John Porter bill was then laid before
tho senate. Sowell said it was the samo
bill that had passed before. Sowell had tho
clerk read a number of resolutions of
Grand Army posts urging tho pnssngo of
tho bill. Logan obtained tho floor to

issuo certificates of tlio denomination of
$1, 52 and $5 on all surplus silver dollars
now iu tlio trensury in payment of appro
priations made in this bill and other ex
penditures and obligations of tho govern
ment. Long, of Massachusetts, rising to a
correction in Tlio Record, said that in a
speech made sonio weeks ago tlio gonuo-
iii.'in from Un fornla lUonloy nun cunrjeu
that Charles Francis Adams, of the Union
Pacific railroad, had committed cross vio
lations of law. Ho had asked tho gentle
man to specify what these violations were
and tho only specific reply made oy i no gen
tleman was that Adams lind bimsolf stated
th.it tho matter of free passes given by the
Union Pacific cost tlio government some
$2,000 per day. Ho (Long) hml denied the
corroctuoHS ol tills statement, ana an louuii
that his denial was nltogothor too broad,
as It appeared from his published speech
that Henley had said that it cost tlio com
pany $2,000. Adams, In his testimony bo
foro tho sonato commltteo, had stated that
tho freo passes issued cost tlio company
$2,000 a day, but this was not a violation
of law, and tho statement wns accompa
nied by tlio modifying romark that many
of tho passes woro Issued to railroad em

tall of the many charges niado against
Adams.

namo to tho president a person whom he
should appoint to an oflicu? Where did
tlio liouso ol representatives get any power
to namo to tho president a person whom
he should nominate to an ofilco? Plumb,
in opposing tho bill, said thu reinstate
ment ot Fits John Portor was tlio begin
ning of an attempt to rowrlto tlio history
of tlio union army, to put that which was
disloyal and iiufallhful above that which
was loyal and faithful. Logan offered an

tant Secretary Fnirchihl, in his letter of

A MONTH'S WORK VET.
Washington special: There is very littlo
prospect of thn adjournment of congress
before tho last of July. In its debate upon
tho postofiico bill today, tliosenato showed
a disposition to insist upon an appropri
ation for tlio transjiortation of ocean
mails, and (ho democratic senators were
the most emphatic ot all. Tho members
of t lie house appear quite as determined in
(heir opposlilon (o tho measure, and
neither will yield without a long struggle.
The president lias given notice that lie will
not sign nny midnight legislation, aim nun
will prevent tho bills bomg rushed through,
as is usually tlio ease on tlio last tiny ot
the session. Ho can taken bill ami keep
il ton dnvrt if ho chooses, and congress has
got to wait for him to consider it. It is
believed that ho will hasten an adjourn
ment as much as lie can. but will oppose

LIVELY TIMES IN CONGRESS.
Washington special: This evening's
Critic of this city says: "Mr. Cobb ot In
iliaiut. ami Mr. Lulrtl, ot Nebraska, got
real ugly at each other in the house yester
day on the land question.
" 'Don't threaten me,' yelled Mr. Luird.
'"Don't threaten me.' said Mr. Cobb,
'for wheu'it comes to public lands, I think
I know n job.1
"Ami then they shook (heir gory flsfn
outright ittcnrh other's fsres, anil savacel
ly they cltewetl their thops across sixty
fwf ol space. They wltel the tloor nil un
In npntK, they kicked their chairs around,
they glared across Unit open space, nnd
finally eat down."
SOME WASHINGTON OOSSIP.
"I have been nsked about fifty times to
day if I had resigned from the cabinet,"
said Secretary Whitney, lnuglilngly. "1
have not resigned," ho continued, "and
havo no Intention ot doing so."
Without division tiio house in committee
of tho whole incorporated an amendment
In tho sundry civil bill requiring the secre
tary of tho trennury to Issuo certificates of
the denominations ot $1, $2 and $5 on aw
surplus ullver dollars now in the treasury,
in payment of appropriations made iu the
bill, nnd other oxcnditurc8 nnd obliga
tions of the government.
The house committee on foreign affairs
has decided to report favorably the bill
authorizing tlio president to njipnint mili
tary and naval attaches to foreign lega
tions. Also tho bill to protect submarine
cables.
A CEiiTiFic.iTE of incorporation of the
United States nnd Congo National Emigra
tinn company of Washington has been
filed with tlio recorder. The object of tho
company is to run and operate a lino ol
steam vessels from Dnltimoro to the Congo
country in Africa and intermediate places,
for tho purpose of emigration nnd com
merce. The capital stock is placed at
$2,000,000, which may bo increased to
$30,000,00.
Tho fiscal year to closo with Wednesday,
Juno 30, will find tho national finnnco-t in
pretty good shape. The jniblic debt, which
twenty years ngo was $75 for each man,
woman and child in tlio country, is now
$23 for ench person, and tho interest
cliargc, which at that time was over $4 per
head, is now 75 cents jier enpita. The
total debt to-day is just hall what it was
then and tho annual interest charge bu
one-fourth of what it wns at that ti:ne.
Then the interest-bearing debt was $,332,
000,000 and interest from 5 to 7 3-10 per
cent. Now tlio interest-bearing debt is
$1,220,000,000 and tlio interest rato from
3 to 4VJ per cent. Then tho population
among whom tlio debt wub divided was
35,000,000, now it is 00,000,000. It is a
favorite occupation with people with bad
digestion to complain that tho country is
terribly burdened witli debt. So it is, but
it is especially happy iu this line when com
pared with those ot somo other countries
that aro supposed to rank very high in the
school of civilization. For instance, while
our debt is $23 per head, that of Austrin
is $30, that of Russia $35, that of Sjuiiti
$80, that of Italy $80, that of Groat
Britain $100. and that of France $130.

vil'age (o inovo immediately. Reno swejit
down so rapidly on tho upper end that tiio
Indians were forced to fight. Sitting Dull
anil I were at a point where Reno attacked.
Silting Dull was tlio big medicineman. Tlio
women and children were hastily moved
down stream, whoro die Cheyennes weio en
camped. Tlio Sioux attacked Reno and
the Cheyennes Custer and then nil becamo
mixed up. The women and children caught
horses for the bucks to mount them. Tlio
bucks mounted and charged back on Reno,
checked him and tiro-o him into tlio tim
ber. Tho soldiers (ieil their horses to trees
nnd camo out and fought on foot. As soon
as Renowns b"itten and driven back across

and fought him till thoy destroyed him.
Custer tlid not reneli tlio river, but wus mot
ball a mile up a ravine, now called Reno
Creek. They fought the soldiers and beat
them back, stei by s(ej, till all were killed.
Ono of Reno's officers confirms tills. They
never broke, but retired slop by step till
