Assistant Secretary Bussey to-day reversed a | decison of the pension ofice, aud directed the | issue of a certificate for additional pension to | John B, McMenus, of the nineteenth Llinois | volunteers. ‘The pension office refased to | grant the additional pension because of lack of | Veins in the service and in the line of duty. | Gen. Bussey says that the presumption of law | is that the applicant was free from disability | when he entered the service. The testimony | of a physician of high standing is presented | to show that the disability existed at the date | of the soldier's discharge. The applicant | | states that it is impossible for him to produce better evidence to sustain his | claim. It appears therefore that under the circumstances of this case the evidence filed should be accepted as sufficient to establish the right of the applicant for an additional pension. Gen. Bussey has also directed that the name of Emanuel P, Steed, of the first West Virginia cavalry, be restored to the pension rolls, from which it had been taken by order of the com- ner of pensions. The information, says . Bussey, upon which the commissioner suspended the payment of the pension was traced to a personalenemy., He adds that such testimony is inadequate to overthrow the of- 2| reply to the Murchison letter. THE NEW BRITISH MINISTER. Sir Julian Pauncefote at Home in the British Legation. The British legation in this city is no longer tenantless, Sir Julian Pauncefote, the repre- sentative in the United States of her British | majesty, Queen Victoria, and empress of India, | has arrived and is comfortably located on the | premises lately vacated by the author of the Sir Julian ar- rived yesterday evening, in company with Mr. Herbert, who has been charge de affaires since the departure of ~— Lord Sackville. They were met at the depot by the other attaches of the legation, and were driven at once to that transplanted portion of Great Britain which occupies the northwest corner of Connecticut avenue and N street, A couple of hours later Sir Julian dined with Secretary Herbert. PLEASED WITH THE CITY. The new minister was on the point of leaving | the legation bailding this morning when a ‘ran reporter introduced himself and was cor- dially greeted, The diplomat had nothing to y¥ about politics, but he did make a few pleasant remarks about the beautiful appear- ance of the city. ‘There was every appeurance of perfect health about the minister, and_ his clear, ruddy complexion was of the perfect English type. He is an exceedingly pleasant gentleman, and those who know him intimately say he will be popular in Washington, P. O. DEPARTMENT CHANGES. A New Chief Clerk — Mail Superin- tendents Appointed, Ete. W. B. Cooley, of Pennsylvania, the chief clerk of the money order office, was to-day ap- pointed chief clerk of the Post-Oftice depart- ment, vice Joseph Roy, of Wisconsin, resigned. Mr. Cooley has been in the postal service for a number of having been appointed to a clerkship and been gradually promoted up to his present position, The salary of the chief clerk is $2,500 per year. Postmaster-General Wanamaker to-day ap- pointed Jolin A, Chapman, of Lllinois, chief of the division of inspection in the office of the pnd assistant, vice A. W.

Sullivan, Smith, of Baltimore, Md., and S$, of Cincinnati, have been appointed superin= tendents of mails in the post-oflices of those citics, All these men are old experienced em- ployes in the postal servic TWIGGS SWORDS. THE Question as to Their Ownership Argued in the Court of Claims. Arguments were delivered to-day before the court of claims in the case of Myers, executor, and Guec intercontestant claimants,against the United States, Beneath this rather unin- teresting title lies a historic and complicated ase, involving the ownership of the famous Twiggs swords, now on exhibition at the bureau f engraviug and printing. The United States figures merely as a stake- ls, which were presented to vid E. T for gallantry in The first was given by the government, the second b ‘tate of Georgia and the third by the city of Atlanta, When the troubles of ion began to appear in the south Ge . then in the regular army of the L turned over to the confederate authorities the government prop- erty in Texas, and was FOR THAT CAUSE DISMISSED. When the federal troops approached New Orleans General Twiggs left the city and sent these swords to a friend, Miss Romena Florence, now Mrs. Guedella, the claimant, with a note. The swords subsequently fell into the hands of General butler, then’ military governor of New Orleans, who sent them to the President in July, i862, with the recommendation that the first sword be sented to an officer of the Uuion anny, the second be deposited in the library at West Point and the third be put in the patent office. Inthe following Decem- ber the President placed the swords at the dis- | posal of Congress, and after the close of the war they were deposited in the patent ‘Then they were sent to the bureau of engr and printing, THEIR PRESENT RESTING PLACE. In 1366 Mrs, Guedeila made application to Congress for the possession of the swords, but uo conclusion was reached, although resolu- tions were introduced in each house to restore them “to the owner.” She applied to the President again in 1878, and this time General A, C.” Myers, the ‘son-in-law and executor of Gen, Twiggs, put in his claim for possession, He urged’ that the swords should go to him, as Gen. Twiggs sent them to Mrs, Gaedeila merely as a custodian; that the general had before his death given him, Myers, intimation of his wishes. WITM REGARD TO THE DISPOSITION, In March, 1837, an act approved direct- ing the S ry of the Treasury to refer the question of ownership to the Court of Claims, and, when the proper person was decided upon, to return the swords, as the act directs, “to the ow ‘4 It was in pursuance with the provisions of this act that tue arguments were made before te court to-day, Messrs, J.

Seeretary Blaine was slightly indisposed this morning, having been attacked by a slight pain resulting from lumbago, and he consequently did not appear at the state de- partment daring the Mr. Edwardes, of the British legation, called at the depart- Ment to make arrangements for the meeting of Mi nd Sir Julian Paunce- fote, the 1 English minister. Mr. Walker Blaine explamed that his father would be unable to meet the minister to-day, but that he would undoubtedly be at the department to-morrow, when Sir Julian will probably be formally pr Pardoned by the President. The President has granted a pardon in thes case of Charles A. Warner, of Marylana, con- victed of unlawfully carrying on business of a wholesale dealer in oleomargarine and sen- tenced to pay a fine of $500. ASENTENCE COMMUTED. In the case of Dr. Warren E. Day, of Arizona, convicted of polygamy and sentenced February 5, 1889, to two years confinement in the peni- tentiary at Yuma, Arizona, the President has commuted the sentence to one One Appointment To-day.

FEDERAL OFFICERS DENOUNCED, Bitter Feeling Against Land Grabbers. Destitution and Crime in Oklahoma. FLORIDA’S YELLOW FEYER Si ARE. BOULANGER HISSED IN LONDON. Highly Sensational Suicide in Chicago. ee INDIGNATION IN OKLAHOMA. Great Bitterness Against the Officials Who Unfairly Grabbed the Land. Kansas Crry, Mo., April 24.—A Journal spe- cial from Guthrie says: If ever the government opened the way to trouble and difficulties this has | been the time. No town was ever built under | greater difficulties nor so quickly, nor have | there ever been so many men disappointed in | so short a time. The anticipated bloodshed over quarter-sections will not be recorded, a3 | the farmers seem disposed to peaceably adjust | all difficulties, and when they find one quarter- section occupied move on until they find an- other. But here IN GUTHRIE ALL IS CONFUSION and the feeling that an imposition has been practiced grows stronger and stronger and the | bitterness is now intense as the full import of the action of the government officials becomes better understood, Public meetings are being constantly held by states and unitedly, at all of which the question is raised how best to over- come the present situation. The unauthorized and unwarranted settlement of the best portion of this town by government officials and others has complicated the situation, although no feasible plan has yet been proposed by which they can be ousted from their possession. As stated yesterday the choice portions of this town were staked out Sunday night, and by 10 o'clock Monday they were taken possession of, BAD BUSINESS FOR FEDERAL OFFICERS. Among those who took part in these proceed- ings were U.S. Marshals Jones and Needle with at least fifty deputies each; U. 8, Attorney Waldron, U.S. Commissioner Galloway, Register ae Guthrie, of Tope District Judge | Hiram Dillen, and othe prominent. This is what causes the dissatisfaction that now ex- ists. Asthe Journal representative saw the unlawful squatting done, there is no heresay about it, Until a late hour last night meetings were being held. Finally representatives from the several states were elected, who met and appointed a subcommittee to prepare a plan of action, To-day another meeting was held, which adjourned until noon to-morrow without action. FOOD VERY SCARCE, A searching investigation goes to show that the rumors of a murder here yesterday were | unfounded, All day yesterday food was almost | impossible to obtain and to-day it is not much | better. ‘There is one canvas hotel, and theer or four dirty grimy lunch stands to feed six to eight thousand people. As soon as freight business is resumed this will improve, so that by the end of the week all can get enough to eat. At the land office yesterday a long string of home-seekers stood patiently in line all day, at no time fewer than sixty men being there. "At the post-office the same sight could be seen, as* also at the express and baggage office. Men | have been waiting patiently since yesterday to | get their baggage or expressed goods, and ‘the | jority of them have stood for hours in the line only to hear that it had not come, though shipped more than a week ago. This accounts for the shelterless condition of man Last night there were many cold, hungry me tals in this place. while there are but few who can divide. Those who can are doing so cheer- | fully. The second night’s exposure will send many who expected to tind homes here to their long home. THIEVES AND CONFIDENCE MEN. The city is full of thieves, confidence men and fakirs, While, without authority, the United States marshals have ordered the arrest of all who are engaged in robbing the people by these games, at least a dozen “‘shell-work- are here and nothing escapes the pic pocket. Last night the usual meetings were held, and it is hoped that by to-day order may come of confusion, Jumpers are still laying out lots in streets, closing them up, hoping that when the survey is made they will have | something. Men are holding lots by them- selves and friends are having surveyors run lines, and there are as many different lines as there are contlicting interests. EXPERIEN S$ WHICH TIRE THE BOOMERS, Mr. Waldron’s experience is a fair sample of the way things are done. Yesterday he had a corner lot, ‘To-day the same lot faces an alley, while the front of it is occupied by some one else. Another lot which was supposed to be on a corner Monday was held at $3,000 Mon- | day night; last night $100 was asked and £10 | offered, the lot having been surrounded. disgusted are already leaving in force. Seven coaches loaded pulled out for the north yester- day afternoon, while many wagons are now headed for their old homes. NOT A HAPPY DAY IN BOOMERLAND. Cutcaao, April 24.—A special to the Inte Ocean from Purcell, I. T., says: The prai is said to be on fire, and the flames are sweeping | everything before them. In the north a he: storm is raging, and Guthrie must be suff is from its effects, Between the storm on the north and the fire on the south the second day is not closing very happily in boomerland. A RICH CATTLE KING KILLED. Oxtanoma Crry, April 24.—A rumor from the South Canadian river says that McCloud,a rich cattle owner, who owns thousands of cattle in the Cherokee strip, was shot and killed yester- day by acattle boy for jumping the latter's claim 5 miles south of here and about 3 mies west of the railroad track.

Special Cable Disvatch to Tae Evexmre Stam Loxpox, April 24—Lord Salisbury's Bristol speech was important in two points. First in his definite refusal to concede any local gov- ernment to Ireland containing the germ of home rule, as no Irishman cares for local gov- ernment except as a step to home rule. This commits the ministry against the scheme which Chamberlain and Courtney are urging. The other point is where Salisbury asserts the lib- eral unionists’ right to all the seats at present held by them. In this he endeavors to com- pensate for the rejection of the lib- eral unionist reform of “keep your seats but surrender your principles.” Un- fortunately for the unionists the tory rank and file reseut the retention of the liberal unionist seats. This was brought out so clearly at Birmingham by the Chamberlain-Churchill | squabble that Chamberlain himself abandons the attempt to maintain the status quo, and offers the Birmingham tories to estimate by a local canvass or otherwise the com ve strength of the liberal unionists and the tories and readjust the representation to their num- bers, This abandons half the liberal unionist seats in Birmingham, and sounds the death- knell of the party, Another difference is devel- oping. Chamberlain insists that the land- purchase bill shall only have a local guarantee, Salisbury is y strenuous for an imperal arantee. 1 le is likely to be serious, uburgh’s municipality voting the freedom | of the city to Parnell is very significant, \GLISH ADMIRERS | They are Certain to Make a Lion of Him Socially. ecial Cable Dispatch to Tax Even: .
