] { Bufficient Number Agree to Pass a Com- | promise Measures DETAILS NOT SATISFACTORY TO ALL Bonthern Senntors Tasist that the Proposed BMensure Will Inerease the Silver Cirealation. by Over One Nundred Million, Wasnixe Jureav or Tie Ber, t S1B FOUNTRENTH STREET, Wastinaros, Oct. 2. ) The news that & sufiicient numbver of de ocrats had beon securod to pass & compro- mise measure bocame current early in the day and o ment through- out the capitol. \While there nad been o al anticipation for the past threo days a compromise would finally be agreed upon 1t was not believed that any measure would be formulated which would not take fnto consideration the necessity for a bond issue in specific terms in accordance with the wishes of the east, or that an agrec- ment could be socurcd of the northern de ocrats Lo any measure which would me with such géneral opposition amoug their constituencies as that which will be next woek presented to the senate and in provability rallroaded through as a part) mensure. The amendment as agreed upon provides for the ropeal of the Shermau act on from date, the coinage of tho seignio the bullion in the treasury and prob the scigniorage of bullion to be purchased, and the withdvawal of the small notes in order to force silver into circulation. The southern scnators insist that measure will increase the silver eircula nearly $100,000,000, it is much better t the existing law, which is practically n tied by the sceretary of the treasury May 1e Immediately Passed Upon. They add that the congressional elections taking place one month following will afford the people 4 chance to pass upon the policy thus formuluted and that the reti nt of the smaller notes will at once put the money tnto circulation and withdraw the obj of the hoarding of silver in the vaults of the treasury. At the same time the compromise has only 1 socured ter very great effort. . It was undoubtedly hastened by Senator Shermau's speech announcing that if the democrats declined to assume the responsibility the republicans would take the matter in hand and themselves formu- late a measure upon which they would go before the country. Southern senators of free coinage proclivities were also frightened by the aggressive moves of Senator Hill towurd securing cloture and the combination of the two influences made .the result pos- siblo. A canvass of the republican senators indi- cates that they -will present an_almost un- broken front against the measure, and that outside of Senators Martin and Roach, the populists, together with the silver men, will also oppose its enactment, It is not be- lieved, however, that filibustering will be used to prevent the passuge of the measure, as muny senators have already pledged that in case a compromise is presented to the senate for its cousideration and is opposed by dilatory tactics, they will unite in sup- port of a proposition for the cloture rule to apply to the present cuse. Manderson Opposes the Mensure. Senator Manderson said tkis evening that he did not think he could vote for the propo- sition. ©1 do mot," ho said, “‘consider it a safe or a politic measure. The restoration cf confi- dence is one of the prime necessities of the existing condition, and this, in my judgment, can only be secured by specific ‘authority granted to the secretary of the treasury to purchase gold with bonds, when such action 18 needed in his good judgment, to maintain the parity of the two metals. The limita- tion of the operating of the existing law to one year from date is most unwise from every standpoint. The proposed measure is, m my judgment, a more cowardly make- shift” than the one it is expected to super- sede. Had a mensure been formulated on the lines of compromise, which I indicated eated much oxc as the n two months ago, It woula doubtless hav& secured the support of such moderate re- calers as Senators Carey, Squire, Hawley, ale, Gallinger and Chandler. “When the public is called upun to pass upon this measure at tho poils I beheve it will be shown to be equally objectionable to the voters of all sections—to the free coinage men of the west and silver men of the south, and the advocates of immediate unconditional repeal in the mnorth and mid- dle western states. “In my judgment, the outcomo is another marked evidence of the total incapacity of tho democratic party to administer the affairs of the government, to solve the economic problems which press upon the country for solution, and to meet manfully emergencies which arise, and for which the party in power must accept the re- sponsibility.” Democruts Opposed to Economy. Representative Hainer offered a resolution today to recommit the printing bill, which during tho progress of the discussion has been loaded down with innumerable amend- ments, whose effect will be to still further increase the expenditures of public money for printing. Mr. Hainer moved to cut off the free distribution of & large proportion of the documents, leaving th ports and books of kindred nature to be seut out in large numbers under franks, and cut- ting down the issues to a number sufficient 10 supply public libraries, etc. His rosolution was promptly voted down by the democratic majority. To Change a Time-Honored Custom. Representative Mercer has prepare amendment to the revised statutes refe to the transmission of electoral returns. Mr. Mercer said in explanation of his amend- ment: “In 1792 vongress provided for an election system of electing president and vice-president of the United States, Among the provisions of that act was one which pro- vided that in the several states after the presidential electors had cast their ballots they were to select the messenger who was to convey one of those certificates from this body of electors showing the result in such state to the president of the senate at the seat of government, receiving as pay for this journey 25 cents a mile. I have drafted an amendment Lo section 140 of the revised statutes 8o that of the three cortificates which the electoral boara of each state is obliged to prepare, the first certificate must be sent by express to the secretary of state At the seat of government, who is authorized sud directed to deliver the same to the president of the senate; the second is to be sent direct to the president of the senate through the regis department of the stoftice, and the third will be left with the mted States district judge, as now pro vided. he messenger service will be abolished entively, thus saving to the government a useless expense which heretofore has amounted to thousands of doll: In 1792, with fow states and the only means of loco- motion being a horse or wagon, messonger servico was perhaps necessary, but today, in an age of progress and modern couven- 1ences, it is time to economize, especially when such action proves to be more bene- ficial than the old system.” Alfred G.

Rec! mmendations and Suggestions Made to the Scoretary of War, WasmiNagron, Oct. 21.—Adjutant General Robert Williams, in his annual report to tho rotary of war, says: An examination of ata_compiled from the reports of officers detailed as profossors of military scionco anl tactics affords convincing evidence of the steadily increasing favor with which the peovle rogard their work. The total aver- age during the yvear 15023 was 23,628, as compared with 19,104 during the year 1801-2, uneral Williams belicves that nilitary instructions now provided for colleges shou'd be extendwd to the high schools, and ho re- commends legislation authorizing the detail of twenty-one additional offjcer He be- lieves that the number of military students at West Point should bo increased so as to make the number of cadets ten in each class. This would give him authority to appoint forty, instead of ten as now. On the subject of Indian enlistments in the army hesaid: “From a careful considera- tion of tho whole subject T cannot resist the conviction of the advisability of enlisting Indians into the regular regimental organ- 1zations. Indians when under an effective discipline make excellent skirmishers and scouts, and I am strongly of the opinion that their omployment as army scouts would be s is the last unnual report which General Williams will make, as he will be placed on the retired list next month.

[ PURGING THE PENSION ROLL Three-Quarters of a Million to Be Spent in Pursuit of the Soldier, HOKE SMITH'S USE OF THE MACHINE All Government Employes Pressed Into His Secret Service Private Pension that Will He Allowed—Cleveland and fls Congre: Wasnivatoy, Oct. 10, — [Staft Corre- | spoudence of Tur Bre.]—It is proposed to | svend during the ensuing fiscal year half as much money in the work of ‘“purging the pension rolls” as in all of the work of the pension system. It doesn't cost much over a million dollars a year to pay the surgeons who constitute the pension examining boards throughout the country, the pension agents and their clerks and the large force here in the peosion office, It costs less than 1 per centof the pension disbursements 1o pay for the work of placing pensioners upon the rolls and paying them Seerotary Hoke Smith has already had placed at his disposal for the current fiscal yvear $200,000 “for the investigation of pen- sion c: and he has reported to congress that he must have §300,000 more. Added to this is the vbay of an immense force of clerks who have been sent to the fleld to engage in the work of spying upon the old soldiers, their widows and dependent relatives, for the purpose of patch- iog up hearsay evidence and slanderous reports upon which pensioners are drobped from the rolls. If congress appropriates the additional $£300,000 asked for, and it likely will, for there is a clear democratic or anti- pension majority in both branches of con- gress, there will be expended by Contederate Hoke Smith, during the present fiscal 'y not less than threequarters of a million dollars in the work of “purging the pension rolls.” It may be sald also that nearly cvery man and woman who is receiving a 1 y from the Interior department, and especially those in any branch of the pension service, is now a spy upon the veterans. Thus their salaries might ve included in these expenditures. Introducing Postmasters as Sples. It would scem that no officer under Pres- ident Cleveland was beneath the dirty work of spying upon the veterans and their de- pendent pensioners. Tie BEE_correspond- ent is informed upon reliable offca’ author- ity that some kind of instructions have been issued to all “loyal democratic vost- masters” to report to the department —it cannot be learned whether Lhe Interior or Postoffice department—'‘those in your community who are suspected of drawing pensions without being entitled to them.”" In short, the Postoftice department is bein turned 1mto aspy system against pensioners. Postmasters have exceptionally £0od opportunity to get all the gossip going, and are generally receptacles for all the scandals afloat. ‘This on account of their po- sition, which enables them to keep run of the clandestine correspondence going and to get u glimpse into the lives of all patrons of their ofices. Then, it is stated upon excellen®, authority, all of the “loyal democrats in the field,” as special agents of the seven exccutive de- partments other than the Iuterior, wh has direct jurisdiction over pensions, hav been verbally instructed to “keep an eye upon the pension business, and_report ali suspects.” This makes & complete network of federal machinery to break down the pewsion system, to make pensions scornful and to reduce the expenditures to the mini- mum by dropping all from the rolls a whom the least scandal or ill report ca secured. It isnot necessary to prove that the testimony upon which a pension was secured was fraudulent, or that therc was perjury, and the pensioner is not under the law entitled to the money. Some bad report which can turn the community against the ponsionor is sufiicient. 1f the pensioner abused his wife or made a wry face at his mother-in-law he is doomed to pauperism. One Pension that Wiil Pass, A bill went upon the calendar of the sen- ate the other day, which, owing to the strug- gle over the silver bill, attracted no atten- tion, but would ordinarily have been men- tioned by every patriot in the country. It was a simple little measure, occupying but six lines. 1t simply provided for a_pension of $100a month to Mrs. Frances Corse of Boston. This is the widow of the famous union general who telegraphed the beleaugered union troops at Allatoona, Ga in October, 1864, to **Hold the fort, for I am coming.” ‘Well does every man who fought under the blue or the gray remember the brilliant fighting of Brigadier General John M. Corse and his great services av tho bloody battle of Allatoona, where he lost 142 ofticers and men killed, had 853 wounded and 212 i A total of 707, which was a re- lity, All nember his char- h to General Sherman after the ba o I an short o backbone and an ear, but am able to whip all h—1 yet. Although shot all to pieces, with five bullets inhis body, General Corse refused 1o leave the field, standing by his falling troops till they won the victory. General Corse was for two terms postmaster at B ton, a place which paid liberally, but he was unable to perform any other business, and died in April last, leaving his widow an estate woith but §0. There is no doubt that this congress will 58 one pension bill--this one. Dealers Walting Tariff Develppmer Dealers in almost everything that one buy in o dry goods, grocery, drug store dre writing a thousa ) rdware or nd times day—that is, all of them together are—to ascertain what is likely to become of the attempt which will be made to *re the tariff,” They all report that they ave pur- chasing on the hand-to-mouth plan; that they buy in the least quantities and tremble every day lest some report about the tariff will tumble prices down to a low point and leaye them bankrupt. The most streuuous efforts fail to learn anything for these dealors which is worth the telling. Even the democratic managers who will have direct control of the bill in congress can give no valuable statement as to what will become of the bill. They kuow a measure will pass the house, and they be- lieve it w resent the pledges of their party for tariff reform, but they do not believe it could possibly puss the seuate. They believe it will be wmaterially revised by the finance committes before it is reported to the senate, but they have no iden what the revisionsin the senato will affect, or, most important of all, wheth the bill in any form cuu be gotten through the senate. Lf the republican senators de- sira to defeat uny tariff revision they can do it. The belief is that concessions will be madelin the senate by which the bill, in a y moderate form, will be permitted to 1t will be & pour excuse of a demec- cratic measure, however. It will in no wuy rescmble the ' law pledged by the dem- ocrats, and which would be passed if it were not for the lax senate rules which permit a minority to dictate legislation—or rathe what ‘legisiation shali not be completed. Meanwhile the importers are doing nothing scarcely, and the dealers in domestic gooas are in & nervous state of excitement and the laborer is out of work, because the producer does not know whether the new tariff law will enable him to get back his lnvestment in labor if ho produces at this uncertain time. It will be some months before the fate of the tariff bill is known. Cleveland Not Discouraged. “We will yet succeed. The silver law will be repealed without condition. 1 don’t give up the fight, There is an end to all things. These obstructions will not prove an exception.” Wuen President Cleveland uttered these words iu & private conversation one evening this week he impressed the senator whowm he addressed as having a hiaden secret. He gave evidence of a counfidence in what he said that must be founded on some private information. The president swuag his head significantly as he continted : “1 said last March that wo were zoing to nuve hurd Limes; that there would te finan- cial distress in the country. 1 observed that the rrlunu'y cause of the aistress which we would experience wus our monetary system, We have 100 much silver in proportion to the ®old. Al of our money is Dracti liz con- vertible inte goE One can uwp gold cortificates with ‘Lm" certificates and upon the yellow lcates demand gold. Tt is absurd to propose that thero will bo universal confidence-in our ability to maintain a parity between all kinds of our money when we have sixHundred millions in silver which may be turned against less than one hundred millions ‘of gold, not to mention the billion doliars in legal tenders, bank notes and other money than gold coin, and yot continue buying sijver. Sliver Senntors Fear im. There 18 one thing pecuiiar about the line of argument _which President Cleveland makes, 1t 18 80 convincing that the silver senators within his ofn party have beon afraid to talk with him ‘upon the subject, lest they be convinced of #ho orror of their position. The prophesy of the president last March that there woula be & panic and great financial distress, has given him the position of & prophet among many men in congress, It is true thatevery intelligent democrat in congress realizes that the president could haveaverted the panic if he had tried. They know that he welcomed 1t bacauso it would enable him to carry out his financial pla Neyorthe- less they realized that he predicted what would happen. This makes them fearful of future. They seoretly holieve that if silver law is not_repealed there will be a recurrence of financial depression. Few presidents haye ever shown as much will power, if not skill, in handling a congress, President Cleveland has been bold and ageressive, as he has been unreler.ting in his determination to control congress tor silver speal. His conversion of scores of old-time aemocratic silverites in congress to the cause of unconditional repeal has not been alone the result of tho influence of patron- age. It is true that some have wanted official favor and have seen their way clear to support unconditional repeal through the patronage vista, but many of those who have changed were converted by personal contact with the president. He has boen so terse and convincing in his arguments and so dogmatic in his opinions that many demo- crats have fallen vietims to his presence. The republicans who have come over to un- conditional repeal have done so from a patriotic sense of their duty. None of hem have ever conversed with' the president on the subject. Willing to Go with Grover, Another thing in the president’s attitude has converted many democrats to his way of thinking. Mr. Cleveland has been so firm and outspoken fn favor of unconditional re- peal that men in his party, after listening to his arguments and _considering his firmness, have suid to themselves: 1 believe I can afford to go down with the president if this thing fails.” They have been willing to risk their political futures with the president. If a man who had attained the highest polit- ical pinnaclo in the world could afford to stand firm for the repeal of the silver law they believed that they also could afford it. “There is one feature about the support of unconditional repeal by some democrats which is different from vhe position occupied by the president. The former represent lo- ities, while the latter represents the en- ‘© country, and while the one mustaccount only to a limited number of ¥oters in a sec- tion, the other is meusured from overy point of view by a country. Then vhe president has realized and does realize now that he is only standing by & life-long record. Many of ‘his comrades arenow in the field, and will be almost unable to intelligently explain their changeof front. when they come to give un account of themselyes in_their cam- paign next yea Perry S, Hearn.
