NO DISSENSION EXISTS. 1 I Cleveland and His Cabinet Arc Not at Outs Over Bland’s Bill. ACTION NOT YET ANNOUNCED. Mr*. Blwell to Sing Publlely For Sweet ■ Charity** Sake—Logansport PontotHoe to , Be Investigated— Indlaiiapollit Pension J Attorney l>Hbarr<id—Pension Ruling For Help loss Children—Other New*. Washington, March 28,t—All talk of dissension in the cabinet over the seigniorage bill has practically ceased, for it has been made clear that throughout the pendency of the bill at the white house he president has shown the greatest consideration for the opinions of his constituents and advisers, and the pleasant relations that prevail between them is absolute proof of lack of foundation for talk of resignations by members of the cabinet. Eight of the 10 days allowed by the constitution for the consideration by the executive of a bill have passed since the seigniorage bill was laid before President Cleveland, and still there has been no action. It has been assumed In certain quarters that the president had made up his mind what disposition he should make of the bill and would yesterday announce his decision to his cabinet. If he did so the act cannot be learned, and indeed two members of the cabinet after the meeting, which was shorter than usual, stated that they were even then ignorant of the president’s intention. Senator Ransom and Representative Henderson of North Carolina, Representative Tracy of New York, and Representative Kilgore of Texas called at the white house, but were unable to see the president. The Texas congressman is one of the hopeful silver men and still believes that the president will sign the bill or allow it to become a law without his signature. NEW PENSION RULING. Helpless Children of Soldiers Admitted to the Rolls. Washington, March 28. —The pension rolls will be greatly enlarged by a decision of Assistant Secretary of the Interior Reynolds. It is one of the most important made by the present administration, and will admit to the rolls the names of a large number of insane, idiotic and permanently helpless minor children of deceased soldiers, where the pensions of the former had ceased by the children attaining the age of 16 years, prior to the passage of the act of June 27, 1890, the decision holding that the act of 1890 has the effect or restoring these dependent persons to the rolls during life or a continuance of the disability. Indiana Pension Attorney Disbarred. Washington, March 28.—Secretary Smith has ordered the disbarment of M. D. Ellis of Worthington and Indianapolis for unprofessional conduct. Ellis conducted a concern known as the Union Comrade company at Indianapolis. He issued a circular last autumn in which he invited veterans to become members of the company, for which a fee of $1 would be cliarged. The circular attacked the policy of the pension bureau and advocated several schemes held to be violations of the pension laws. The lack of satisfactory explanation has resulted in the attorney’s expulsion. Presidential Timber. Washington, March 28. —The Times says: “A group of Republican congressmen yesterday discussed the presidential outlook. They were all firmly convinced that General Harrison is an active candidate, notwithstanding the many disclaimers both by himself and his friends, and all admitted that if he should enter the field he would make a formidable rival for McKinley or Reed and very likely cause a new man to be selected. The general feeling was that he himself could not be again nominated.” Wants Salaries Reduced. Washington, March 28.—Representative Been >ot Minnesota yesterday introduced a bill to reduce government salaries. It recites that private wages are falling, while public salaries are kept up to their old figures, and that the people are being borne down by “the incompetency, dishonesty or corruption of those who control the affairs of our government.” It provides that salaries from SI,OOO to $5,000 be reduced 25 per cent, $5,000 to $20,000 33 1-3 per cent and all above $20,000 50 per cent. Still Without a Quorum. Washington, March 28.—Yesterday •was another day without progress over the Joy-O’Neill contest in the house, owing to the absence of a quorum of Democratic members, and at the close the house was as far from a conclusion as when the deadlock -first began. While there were known to be 230 members on the floor, the nearest the majority ever came to a quorum was 172—7 less than a quorum. The. committee on rules will come to the resbue today. Civil Service Investigations. Washington. March 28. —Official investigations will soon be made of various charges of violations of the civil service law recently filed with the civil service commission. Examiner George W. Laidley of the commission left yesterday for several western, and southern cities, ■where he will examine into charges of partisanship and other alleged irregularities in postoffices. His trip will include Newport, Ky., Logansport, Ind., and Portsmouth, O. Fitted by Experience. Washington, March 28.—8 y the death of Senator Colquitt, Senator Vilas will probably become chairman of the senate committee on postofficea and postroads. His former position as postmaster general gives him a wide knowledge of matters coming before that committee. ’v.. Storer’s Commerce Bill. Washington, March 28.—Representative Storer of Ohio yesterday introduced a bill to amend the interstate commerce law. It repeals all punishments by im-

1 prHonment for violations of the interstate commerce act and renders the corporation itself punishable. It also reI iieals so muuli of the present law as punishes any shipper, or his agent, for viola > tions of the luw. Mita. biMkll will sing. Bwoot Note* From a Cabinet Lady In Behalf of Charity. Washington, March 28.—The novelty . of hearing a cabinet lady sing in public, | and when it is one who possesses such a I fine voice as Mrs. Bissell, is likely to j make the concert which she is getting 1 up for the Home for Incurables a splenic g- M nJ*7 MRS. BISSELL. did success. It wifi be given on the afternoon of April 8 at the residence of Senator Hale. Mrs. Bissell has a delightfully sympathetic voice and received the best training in Eurojie, for she intended to pursue a musical career and had really commenced to teach when her marriage put an end to her ambition in that regard. She at once offered to sing when the story of the depleted treasury of the Home for Incurables was told her by the ladies interested in its management. Gwin** Prospect* Good. Washington, March 28.—1 t is reported that Joe Gwin of Williamsport, Ind., will be appointed superintendent of the railway mail service to succeed Captain White.

The hearing will last through today. Bath Gets a Postmistress. Washington, March 28.—Mrs. Mary R. Scott was appointed postmaster at Bath, Ind., yesterday. MAD AT GOVERNOR FLOWER. Troy’s Committee of Safety Hisses Hl* Refusal to Give It a Hearinx. Albany, March 28. —About 100 citizens of Troy, comprising what is known as the committee of safety of that city, presented themselves at the executive office yesterday to present a memorial to the governor regarding the prosecution of “Bat” Shea, charged with the murder of Robert Ross at the polls on election day. Colonel Williams, the governor’s private secretary, told the delegation that the governor would receive any communication they desired to send him, but that owing to the pressure of public business he could not give theta personal audience. The message angered the delegation who, after waiting half an hour, again demanded to see the governor, who again declined through his private secretary. As the private secretary* retired there was a combined hissing and hooting. The people retired to the lobby of the capital steps and held a meeting. It was decided to present the memorial and it was handed to Colonel Williams. When the affair was over General Ricketts, a member of the committee, and who is a member of Governor Flower’s staff, sent in his resignation. The communication asks for the presence of the attorney general in presenting the Shea case to the grand jury and also requests that the governor shall not impose upon the attorney general the condition that anj* member of the district attorney’s office of this county shall be appointed a deputy.

Jerseyville, Ills., March 28.—The new Chicago and Cairo railroad now being projected is a venture of Jerseyville speculators. It is backed by eastern capitalists to the amount of $9,000,000. The route extends from Chicago through Pulaski, Livingston, McLean, Logan, Menard, Greene, Jersey, Madison, St. Clair, Randolph, Jackson, Union and Alexander counties, terminating at Cairo. It is in no way interested in any other, nor to be used as a connecting link southward by any other road. M. R. Locke of this city is the prime mover; A. W. Cross, Judge P. D. Cheney and several others are also interested. Mr. Cross said that every cent of the $9,000,000 capital stock was pledged. The names of the eastern capitalists who have pledged the money for the construction of the line would not be divulged at present. Much interest is manifested through this section over the news. A.
