HOXIE CRITICISING THE MANNER IN WHICH THE WORK HAS BEEN conpucrED. ‘The water works deficiency appropriation is the only District matter before the House ap- propriation committee now, everything else having been disposed of. Mr. Wilson, who is in charge of District matters, says he expects this matter will be reported within a few days. The comiittee have been about ready to report several times, but each time some’ new infor- mation on the subject has come before them to demand their attention and delay final action, Mr, Wilson has received a letter from Capt. Hoxie criticising the manner in which the work upon the water works extension has been con- ducted. He sayshe was the originator of the plan to cut the tunnel through solid rock, and contends that it could have been done without striking fissures had those in charge of the work sunk the shafts as deep ashe contem- lated in his plan. He submits plans by which Reaays tue work can be completed at an ox- pense of about $200,000 Instead of the $400,000 ‘asked for for that pui ». Among other things he suggests the use concrete instead of ma- sonry to fill in the fissures of the rock met with aE Wilson will confer ith Gei rr. Wilson will have a conference with Gen. Newton before making his report, and will probably favor the plans approved by the eng!- neer department and recommend an appropri- ation accordingly. Decoration Day.

The Senate committee on public expenditures to-day resumed the investigation ‘of Pension Commissioner Black, with regard to his charge that, under his predecessor, political influence “had controlled the office. The case of David, which was before the committee at its last meeting, was resumed, but no new material facts were brought out. The case of Jesse Eastwood, second lieuten- ant, Co. A, 22a regiment Kentucky Milt Volunteers,’ was taken up next. He was al- lowed a pension in January, 1885, to date trom July 15,1864, at the rate’ of $15 per month; from January 15, 1! of $25 per month? from June 4, 1872, of $81.25 per month; from Sime 4. "1844, of 890 ‘pet month, and’ from June 17, 1872; at $72 a mont, on ‘the ground of rheumatism resulting in paralysis of the lower extremities, incurred in military service and producing ‘total disability, ~ Pension Commissioner “Black expressed. the opinion that the pension fas allowed upon totally In- adequate evidence; that Eastwood was in.a militia regiment, and was only in active ser- ¥ice for twenty Gays; that the only exposure he endured was sleeping on the ground one summer's night; that there was no proof in the ease to show that Eastwood had suffered in- joy. in the service. Gen. Black, upon coming into office, had the case called to his attention, and after re-examination st pee the penson, He said the evidence adduced by him went to show that Eastwood was partially disabled be- fore enlistment, and that the real disability Was not incurred until six years after he left the service. He mentioned that the pension was Improperly allowed. Eastwood drew about $10,000in the ‘aggregate, and Gen. Black said that sum had as well’ been taken from the Treasury by any other fraudulent means, In answer to Senator Plumb tho witness said the record showed that the case went through the regular routine, and there was nothing in the record to show whether Ewing and the other claimants were republicans or democrats, or that the knowledge of their politics ever Teached the pension office. The committee adjourned with the case still pending and without the Commissioner giving all the reasons that ied him to make up his opinion of the case, In the record there was nothing indicatiye of the political status of any- body connected ‘with the claim, but the Com- missioner had been informed by a pension official that Ewing, the attorney, was an active republican. The case will be resumed at the next meeting. —=___re5___ The Dual Emancipation Celebration. A MOVE IN THE INTEREST OF HARMONY— WHAT MESSRS. CHASE AND CARSON SAX OF IT. Mr. W.

He left with the understanding that he and the ple he repre- sented ‘would join us, and under our marshal the parade would tale place according to the published program,” Mr. Perry Carson said to a Star reporter that the Carson party waited on Major Flectwood, major of the Cadets, and Major Fisher, of une Butler Guard, and that Major Fleetwood made 4 proposition’‘to them that he (Fleetwood) and = fe Fisher would communicate with Chase and Charles Marshall and invite that party to @ meeting at Cadets’ hali, with him and his line and staff officers, for the pac of bring- ing about harmony between se two factions. He suggested that there might be a committee on both sides of seven each to consult together, and submit to whatever decision the fourteen shall make, but that Chase and Marshall re- fused this offer; that since that time he (Carson) has made application and has received permis- sion to make use of the grounds at Lincoln park for the celebration, and that Prof. John M.
