Rumor as to the Effort Being Made to Defeat Confirmation. The rumor is abroad to the effect that Senator Hill, in his earnest desire to defeat the nomination of Mr. Hornblower as Su- preme Court justice, has taken advantage of the delay occasioned by the failure of the committee of the judiciary to report the nomination to make a personal canvass of the democratic Senators in the hope of se- curing enough personal pledges to defeat the nomination when it eventually comes before the Senate, This rumor has been in persistent circulation for a day or so past. There can be no confirmation of it obtained, as the Senators whom Mr. Hill has taken into his confidence are not liable to make any exhibition of their private assurances to him, and, presuming that he has en- gaged upon this propaganda, it is fair to assume that he has selected his material with such great care that the names of no friends of the administration can be found upon his memorandum list of callers. In other words he has probably not approached any Senator who is at all favorable to the nomination. The Star has ascertained with reasonable certainty that if such a move- ment is really on foot it has been conducted with extraordinary secrecy and has not reached the ears of any of the Senators who are desirous to have the nomination con- firmed. Pamphiets have recently been circulated surreptitiously containing indefinite charges against the judicial and legal capacity of Mr. Hornblower, based upon certain of his decisions, as referee in New York cases, which were subsequently reversed by a higher court. These papers cannot be traced to any definite source, but the general un- derstanding is that they have all been cir- culated with the full knowledge of the two Senators from New York. Senator Pugh, chairman of the judiciary committee, is quoted today as saying that the plea of the Supreme Court for a full bench to pass upon constitutional questions will not have a particle of effect in hastening meee gene of the committee on the nomi- nation. It was confidently expected yesterday when Senator Voorhees, whom the Presi- dent is Supposed to have chosen as his personal representative in the matter of the nomination, moved an executive ses- sion, that the Hornblower nomination would be acted upon, but it was ascertained after adjournment that the committee had not yet reported the name and could not indi- .| cate when it would do so. The nomination has now been before the Senate for sev- eral months. —+-o+—_____ JUDGE LONG’S PENSION. The Suspending Order Has Been Re- acinded by the Department. Judge William Lochren, commissioner of pensions, has rescinded his order suspend- and ing the pension of Judge Long of the su- preme court of Michigan. This action is taken because of the act of Congress of De- cembef 21, 1893, declaring a pension a vest- ed right, ana cannot be withheld without thirty days’ notice to the pensioner. The pension of Judge Long was suspended un- der the rule of the department suspending pensions pending medical examination. Judge Long was directed to appear before the eXamining board for re-examination. He disregarded this notice. Then he applied to the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia for a mandamus restraining Commissioner of Pensions Loch- ren from interference with his pension. The cage was heard by Judge Bradley, who still has it under consideration. The action of the commissioner has been brought to the attention of the court, and it is thought that the case will be dropped. Previous to May 6, 1ss8y, Judge Long was drawing a pension of $30 per month. On that day it was increased to $72 per month, with back pay aggregating about $5,00. ‘The case was pushed through, it is said at the pension bureau, with due consideration. ‘The pen- sion was granted on the ground of otal disability, whereas Judge Long was performing and continues vo perform his duties as judge of the supreme court of Michigan. The pension administration maintains that Long is entitled to a pension of but $30 per month, and that he is not totally disabled within the meaning of the law. In confor- mity with the act of December 21, Long will me oye ge that arg shows that he is suffering from total bility, his pension will be reduced to $m. ; J Lochren told a reporter for The Star this afternoon that the action of the department was in conformity with the law. He could not say how many cases there were analogous to the Long case. He said he did not wish to criticise an act of Con- gress, but admitted that he might have said to a United Press representative that it was | an unjust and unwise law. A reporter for The Star saw Corporal Tanner. That gentleman was not inclined to talk, but looked on the action of the ad- ministration as a back down. The case o’ the government was a Weak one and that of Judge Long a strong one. The people in power, seeing this, had taken advantage of the act of December 21 te withdraw from its position, and avoid the risk of an ad- verse decision from the court. The act in question did not have a retroactive effect, unless the pension bureau so desired to con- strue it. He thought that Judge Bradley should ren- der a decision in the matter, and not per- mit “bis feet to be cut oif from under him by this action of the pension bureau.” He was anxious for a decision from the court, because he thought it would legally vinai- cate his action as commissioner of pensions. ie seedere—“<aae A Case of Death Damages, Mr. W. H. H. Miller, the ex-attorney gen- eral of the United States, appeared before the Supreme Court yesterday as counsel for the plaintiff in the case of George Clark against the Louisville, Evansville and St. Louis Railrcad Company, appealed by the defendant from the circuit court of Indiana. The plaintiff, as executor, sued for damages for the death of his decedent, resulting from injuries received while traveling on the road. The lower court returned a verdict of $9,000 for the plaintiff.
