T T T T e e e . LOOKS GLOOMY FOR GROVER. = whe ] The Dependent Pension Bill Recommended For Passage Over the Veto, THE COMMITTEE UNANIMOUS. The Reading of tho Meport Listened to With Great Attention and Fre- quently Interrnpted With Applause. House, Wasnivaton, Feb. ~Mr, Matson of Indiana, from the committee on invalid pen- sions, reported back the dependent pension Dill with the president’s veto message thereon. e asked that the report be printed in the record and gave notice that he would call up the bill for action on Fhursday next. Mr. Breckenridge ot Arkansas objected to the report being printed in the record and thereupon Mr. Burrows of Michigon de- manded that it be read, ‘I'he speaker de- cided the report must be read and the clerk then proceeded to read it. The report states that two facts will arrest the attention of any one who reads the president’s message. The first is that no objection is made to the bilt on any ground of its constitutionality or the right of congress to enact the law is not guestioned, 'The other is that the first sec- tion of the bill is not touched upon by the message and no intimation is given by the president as to whether that section of itself, embodying as it does an independent propo- gition, and in the precise torm specially urged by the secretary of the interior in his Jast annual report, meets with his approval or disapproval. The committes then analy- ges the objections of the president that the Bill is vague in in its provisions in that it might apoly to various grades of disability or dependency and submits to the judgment of the house and country that those who framed the Dbill, after months of careful consideration, have made no mistake and have confined the bill toa class—and that class can be well defined as consisting of these disabled or dependent on their daily Jabor for support. e reg s the com- mittee, the strained interpretation put on the bill in the message as an excuse rather than a reason forreturning it to the house, nnd believe we do no injustice to the execu- tive, when considering the whole message, to sav that if its provisions liad been plainer and no question could have been raised as to whether incinded only those unable to labor, hie would have interposed his objection. The report goes on to say that such distinction made by the acts of the president, the com- cannot believe, will be endorsed any- where by the patriotic sentiment of the country. Referring to the expenditures of which the enactment of this bill would ssitate, the committee contends that the estimate of the president 1s extravagant. The eport said that the committee was lothe to Pelicve that the people of the country wera willing for the defenders ot the nation’s honor and life during their declining years in misery and want. The committee ends by recommending, without a dissentin voice, that _ the bill be passed, potwithstanding the objections of ({\\' president. The report was listened to with great attention, thouzh the reading was several times interrupted with applaus. ‘which broke out afresh when the concluding sentence of the report showed that the cotu- mittee was unanimous in it recommenda- Matson asked unaninious consent that sideration be deferred until Thursda next, which was carrried by a vote of 131 to 21, Mr. Baker of New York called up as privileged matter the resolution offered by him Thursday fixing a day for the territoriul endmission bills, and under the operation or the rules it was referred Lo the committee on rules. Mr. Laahan of Texas presented the con- ference report upon the trade dollar bill and it was agroed to without devate or discussion, e louse then went into committec on the s for the consideration of the senate amendnents to the saudry eivil appropri tion bill. In speaking of the ver mend- . Gifford of Dakota took occasion to iing il reporzed by miftee on territories, denouncing it s a miserable pretext, an insult to his people and a miserable proposition which the would £purn with contewpt. Mr, Hill of Ohio incidentally gave notice that be would callup the Dakota admission pill on Wednesday next. Mr. Butterworth of Ohio, moved to concur in the senate amendment’ with an amend- ent directing tho secretary of war to make inquiry as to the number of union soldiers buried in the same cemeteries with confeder- atesana whether their resting places were unfenced and unbroken. On motion of Mr. ndall the ser smendment was non urred in for t purpose of enabling the committee of confer- ence to frame a measure in_accordance with the views of both sides of the Louse. Pending further action on the senate nmendment the committee rose and the house adjourned, Senate. WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—The presiding of- ficer presented several petitions from Ohio posts of the Grand Arwy of the Republic for the passage of the dependent pension bill over the president’s veto. Laid on the table, Also an fnvitation of the citizens’ comuittes of Alezandria, Va., to take part in the cele- bration of Washington’s birthday, Laid on the table, Mr. Beck said that for years he had been presenting petitions tor the repeal of the nay- Igation laws in the hope that Americans might be able to own steamship lines on the oeean. e hiad now prepared a memorial on the same subject signed by himself, and which he asked to be referred to the commit- Lee on comuierce, betore which committee he would ask to be heard. Asa basis to show the importance of the matter he had also ro- ferred, with his memorial, an extract from 1 the specch of Count Von Moltke before the * German reichstuag, to show that war Is in- ovitable, Also o pewspaper extract in re- ‘gard to the action of Knglanda toward her Bteawship lines, Referred to the committeo on commerce. On motion of Mr. MeMillan the Nicarau- gua ship canal bill was Iaid aside and the sen- e resumed consideration of the river and sharbor appropriation bill. . Mr, Edwunds made a point of order on section 3 (which provides for condemnation -?r {um\).oll the ground that it was new legis- ation . The point of order was sustained and the section was siruck ou Mr, Van Wyck moved to amend the item of $300.000 for the Missouri river by mal Jt read “continuing the improvement at At- “phison, St Josepl, Fort Leavenworth reser- wation, Arrrow Rock, Kansas City In Kansas and Missouri and Omaba, Plattsuouth, East- port and Brownsville in Nebraska and [owa under the direction of the Secretary of war,” “‘The bill was laid aside temporarily and Mr, Jones of Neveda. from the conference ‘ecommittee on the bill to retire the trade dfilnr. made a report and stated the points ‘of it After a lengthy debate the report was mgreed to—yeas, 405 nays, 5. "Llie bill now Loes to the rrcwinlmll. The senate then resumed consideration of the river and harbor bill. Mr. Manderson heartily coincided with the views of his colleague, but did not believe they would be accomplished under the emendiment offered.

It was stated that the stock had been taken hold of by strong people and would be given a geod advance next week. ‘The bank statement, showing a decrease of over §3,000,000 in reserve, was regarded as very unfayorable. ‘There was a good deal of bull talk on Big Four, aud quite un advance was scored by 1t.

Insiders claimed hat the company was in excellent financial condition and earning wore woney than at any time in the past. At noon the market was steady at adyanced prices. Sales to noon were 100,000 shares. The settlement of the old suit of holders of Kansas & Texas serip against the company was made the pre text for bulling that stock.

We must have some energetic and heroic action on this measure. It congress does not appropriate money to reimburse the owners of cattle when the disease has a foothold, for the pur- pose of destroying them and thus stamp out this terrible disease, 1t is only a question of days and weeks when the farmers and deal- s in fancy stocks will ship their cattio af- flicted with the disease to our ranges and thus inoculate our herds, When once the disease gets a foothold there it will never be eradicated until there are no more animals to take the infection. We cannot quarantine and isolate the diseased cattle as you can in the states. 1t took England many years and cost millions of dollars to stamp it out. This on their small tarms, and where they could rigorously quarantine their cattle, You see how hard it will be for us on the large ranges of this country.” “How are cattle doing in was asked. “Never better. We have plenty of grass and water, and the winter is mild. Our calf crop was larze last year, The only thing wo have to complain of is the very low prices we are getting for our beef steers. Cattle havo never been so low for ten years, but they will improve, ‘T'hey caunot stay long at the pros- ent low prices.” “Have there been any drawbac] cattle business besides low prices? “Yes. Sparks has done us untold damage by his rulings and his advertising of us to the world as rascals and land thieves. e and his elaquers staty that % per cent of our titles to lands are frauds. This has stopped emlgration to the territory and prevented the investment of many thousands of doliars. They have been investigating the titles to lands there for the past two years, and as a result have indicted less than a hundred persons of as many thousand homesteads and pre-emption seftlers, and with all the courts and juries in their own hands have not been able to secure a single conviction. Mines,” said the colonel, repeating the in- quiry, “there will be a big mining boom_in the territory during the coming year. New machinery is reducing low grades of ores and making fortunes for these discarded mines but a number of new strikes are being made of rich mines that will startle the people of the eastone of these days.

The first named bill proposed to granta pension to the widow of Richard O'Neal, late colonel of the Twenty-sixth regiment of In- diana volunteers. In his message in this case the president savs: * *“The records of the war department fail to show ghat there was a col- onel of the Twenty-sixth Indiana regiment named Richard O'Neal, ;but it does appear that Richard August 31, 1861, and_ resigned June 30, 1862, 1f this is the officer whose widow is named in the bill the proposition is to pension the widow of a soldier who, after ten months’ serviee, gned apd who, seven months after his resignation, died of a dis- ease which was in no manner related to his military service. There is Dbe- sides such a discrepguey between the name given in the biil anl the name of the ofticer who served as a lieutenant colonel in the reziment mentioned ;that if the merits vere with the widow the bill would need congressional legislation.” In his messawe returning the act granting a pension to Jobn Reed, sr., the president I'lie records show that the b amed in this bill filed an applic nsion in 1577, alleging that he was the father of John Reed, ‘'who died in the service, and that his wife, mother of the de- ceased soldier, died May 10, 1872, and t hat he (the father) mainly dependent upon his son for support, He liled cvidence of the mother’s death and one witness alleged that he was present at her death and attended her funeral. In 1864, Martha Reed, mother of the soldier, filed her application for a pension, in which she at first claimed to be the widow'of John Reed. She afterward. Low alleged that he and, John teed, abandoned his family in 1859 and had not thereafter contributed to their support, and that the soldier was her main support atter such abandonment. She was allowed a vension as a dependent mother, which com- menced in 1853, the date of her son’s death, and was to have terminated Juiy 22, 1554, when she died, The claim of the father was rejected in 1553 for the reason that the mother, who had a prior right, was still living, and when his claim was ‘again pre sented in 155 he was informed that his abaudonment of his family in 1859 precluded the 1dea that he was entitled to a pension as being dependent upon @ soldier for support. Of course these decisions were correct in law, in equity and in morals, This case demonstrates the means employed 1n the attempt to cheat the government in applications for pensions, too often successtul, The allegation of 1877 of the man who now poses as the aged and de- pendent father of the dead soldier that the mother died in 1572, when at that time her claim was pending for pension, largely based on his abandonment aflidavit, of the man who testitied that he saw her die in 1872; the effrontery of this unworthy father renewing his claim’ufter detection “of nis fraud and actual death of the mother, and the allow tion of the mother 1t she was a widow when in fact she _an abandoned wif. show the processes which enter into these claims for pensions and the boldness with which plans aro sometimes concerted to roh tho government_ by actually traflicking in death and imposing on the sacred sentiments of patriotism and national gratitude.” 1 Address to Workingmen, NEW Yonk, Feb, 10.—The committeo of Catholics recently appointed at a mass meet- ing for the purpose has issued an address to the workingmen of the country upon the subject of the deposition of Rev.

THE BANKERS DISAPPOINTED. Money to Lond But Only a Small Amount of Borrowing—Specn- lative Deatings Show Con siderably More Life, * The Financial Week. CricAco, Feb. 10,—~[Special Telegram to the Bek. |—Outside of a dull and rather weak feeliug there 1s nothing of importance to note in financial circles tho past week. Leading banks are well supplied with loan- able funds and managers are a little more anxious to increase their discount lines, In- terfor banks are gradually increastng their deposits here, and the accounts of some of the leading wholesale housns are enlarging, Bankers have to some extent been disap- pointed by the outcome of the packing sea- son, as they have not been able to loan prekers the usual amount of money. The labor troubles, too, have made manufacturers very conservative, ‘The speculative interest in grain, provisions and stocks has borrowed little money since the opening of the month and vackers and shippers of grain and pro- visions were virtually out of the market and asked very few favors of the banks, Call loans were quotable at 5@b6 per nt, and time paper ranged at (@7 per cent, according to the standing of the borrower and the amount of money re- quired. Outside paper commanded 8 per cent. Money at eastern financial centers appears to be in good supply, with rates of intercst tavoring borrowers. Foreign finan- cial affairs show no important change. In- terest rates are steady and wmoney is apps ently in suflicient supply to meet the general requirements of the trade.

The receipts of grain’ were not very Iarge, and shipments were moderately free. Arrivals of live stock show some improve- ment, but are stili limited for this season of tho year. ‘I'he foreign markets were in- clined in favor of the buyers of grain, and a ir number of export_orders were provided for. ‘I'he upward tendency of prices for '\m\ isions has checked the toreign demand, hut inquiry on home account was fairly ac tive. ‘Uhe eastern markets have sympa- thized to some extent with the course of the markets here. The settlement of the labor troubles in the east will probably ve export business to some extent and en- able shippers to forward breadstuffs and pro- visions which have accumulated at the sea- board during the troubles. 'T'he packing of the west is progressing rather slowly and the prospects now are that the shortage in the number of hogs packed will be larger than generally calculated upon, el = Ordnance and Coast Defenses. WasmNGroy, Feb,, 19,—The house com- mittee on military affairs to-day resumed consideration of the McAdoo ordnance bill. Cutcheon presented a substitute for the bill before the committee. It provides for the erection of a gun factory and for first-class modern guns for the army, sea const and other defenses. It appropriates §10,000,000 for the purpose. After the bill had been read Chairman Bragg stated that he was en- gaged in the preparation of a substitute for the original measure which he hoped tobe able to lay before the committee on Monday, and with'a view ot allowing comparison of the various measures and a combination of the best features of cach the committes journed without voting on Cuteheon’s propo- sition, General Bragg indicated that his sub- stitute would provide for the erection of government factory and the creation of a testing board, of which Licutenant General Sheridan is to be a member, He Ran Things For Awhile.
