tavalryinen daring their long rides and furious Charges in the war indicates a state of mind Chat incapacitates, at least temporarily, an official from considering impartially a pension claim. It would be well if the horns of public Indignation could he so applied that our soldiers could get simple justice in times of peace The President to-day transmitted to the House messages announcing his disapproval of twenty private pension bills. Lewis Scanlon filed his declaration for a pension in 1884, alleging that ;.e contracted chronic diarrhea in the Black Hawk war. The records show that he served from April 18, 1832, to May 28, 1832. In vetoing the bill for bis relief, the President says: “I am inclined to think it would have been a fortunate thing if, in this case, it could nave been demonstrated that a man could thrive so v.ell with the chronic diarrhea for fifty years as the case of this old gentleman would prove. The fact is, in this case, there is no disability which can be traced to the thirty days’ military service of fifty four years ago, and I think little if any more infirmity than is usually found in men of the ago of the claimant” In vetoing the bill granting a pension to Francis Doming, who claims that he contracted blindness, the result of rheumatism incurred inthe service, the President says that '‘there seems to be no testimony showing the soldier's condition from the time of his discharge to 1880. a period of fifteen years.” The President continues: “After nineteen years had elapsed since his discharge from the army, a pension is claimed for him uppn a very shadowy ellegation of the incurrence of rheumatism in the service, resulting iD blindness. Upon medical examination it appeared that his blindness was caused by amaurosis, which is generally accepted as an affection of the optic nerve. I am satisfied that a fair examination of the facts in this case justifies the statement that the bill tinder consideration can rest only upon the grounds that aid should be furnished to this exsoldier because he served in the army, and because he, a long time thereafter, became blind, disabled and dependent. None of ns are entitled to credit for extreme tenderness and consideration toward those who fought their country’s battles; these are sentiments common to all good citizens, the road to the most beneficent care on the part of the government, and to deeds of charity and mercy in private life. The blatant assertion of those who, from motives that may well be suspected, declare themselves above all others friends of the soldier, cannot discredit nor belittle the calm, steady and affectionate regard of a grateful nation. Legislation has been, at the present session of Congress, perfected considerably increasing the rate of pension In certain cases. Appropriations have also been made of large sums for the support of national homes where disabled or needy soldiers are cared for; and within a few days a liberal sum has beeu appropriated for the enlargement and increased accommodation and conyenience of these institutions. All this is no more thau should be done. Bat with all this, and with the blunders of special acts which have been passed, 'ranting pensions in cases where, fornny part, I m willing to confess that sympathy rather than udgrnent has often led to the discovery of a relation between injury or death and the military ervice, I am constrained by a sense of public aty to interpose against establishing a principle and setting a precedent which must result in unregulated, partial, and unjust gifts of the public money pnder the pretext of idemnification of ihose who suffered in their means of support as an incident of military service.” THE OLEOMARGARINE BILL. It Will Certainly Be Passed by the Senate Daring the Present Week. ffeecial to the IndiansDolis Journa* Washington, July o.—The Senate will undoubtedly pass the bogus-butter bill during the present week. The opponents of the measure have been very industrious for several days past, attempting to create the impression that the advocates of the bill have quarreled among themselves, and that there is a big scandal growing out of the disposition of the fund subscribed by the farmers to aid in securing the legislation which they 60 much desire. Both parties in the House are anxious to see this bill go through. The Republican members from rural districts are especially solicitous for early action on the part of the Se.iate, as they recognize the fact that the passage of the bill through the Democratic House would be a powerful political campaign material in case the Republican Senate should fail to do likewise. For this reason, members of the lower house who aided in securing the passage of the bill are very industriously at work among their friends in the Senate, and expect to have the bill ready for the President’s signature by the close of the week.

FITZ JOHN PORTER. The President Nominates Him for Restoration to the Rank of Colonel. Washington. July 6. —The President to-day sent to the Senate the following nominations: Fitz John Porter, lieutenant-colonel Fifteenth Infantry, to be colonel in the army of the United States. In making the above nomination the President says: “In accordance with the provisions of an act of Congress approved July 1, 1886, I nominate the person herein named for appointment in the irmy of the United States, Fitz John Porter, ate colonel of the Fifteenth Infantry, to be olonel in the army of the United States, to .ipk as such from May 14, 1861, that being the .-rade in rank held by him at the time of his dismissal from the army.” The President also nominated Capt. Theodore Schwan, Eleventh Infantry, to be assistant adjutant-general, with the rank of major. Captain Schwan entered the military service as an enlisted man in 1857. He passed through all the grades from private to regimental non-commissioned staff officer, and was appointed second lieutenant in 1863. He served in the field during the entire War of the Rebellion, and in 1864 was fartvetted captain “for gallant service in the battle of Chapel House, Va.,” and at the close of the war received the brevet of major “for gallant and meritorious service during the war.” He has rendered valuable and important duties on the staff and in connection with the Indian Office, and so satisfactorily in the latter duties as to call for a very handsome letter of thanks from the Secretary of the Interior. Except when taken away from it, to discharge some more important duty, he has been almost contstantly with his company; and, exeept for a short tour in.recruiting, his service has constantly been in the West. The nomination of Hugh Smith Thompson, to be Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, was confirmed by the Senate. CLEVELAND AND HIS PARTY. Why the President Is Unpopular with the Democratic Leaders. Washington Special. If Mr. Cleveland has disappointed his party in not removing all tho Republican office-holders, the Democrats in Congress have disappointed Mr. Cleveland by paying no attention to his recommendations for legislation. In his annual message the President asked for the suspension of the coinage of the standard silver dollars. That was refused. He requested tariff legislation. That has been denied; and out of the many suggestions for the enactment of laws on different subjects made in the message all have been unheeded, save the one for further legislation against the Mormons. The antipolygamy bill was brouebt on by Mr. Edmunds and passed by a Republican Senate. It now reposes on the Speaker’s tabls, with no prospect of being acted upbr. thissession. While Democratic Senators and Representatives have been begging the President for offices, the President has been telling his callers what they should do with the laws. The spoilsmen have disappointed the Pre&ineut, and be has disgusted them. Mr. Cleveland has not become at all popular in his personal relations with the party’s representative men. He is neither arrogant nor overbearing, but he lacks patience, and he has a sharp, sarcastic way of refusing requests that Is Irritating. Mr. Cleveland seems to believe that he is intellectually superior to a majority of the members of his part y. This may be Arue,” •aid a distinguished Republican yesterday, “but Mr. Cleveland forgets that he does not possess

one quality that is quite as important as mental acumen. He lacks experience, and the advice of men long in public life is indispensable to his success." The wholesale exercise of the veto power by the President is resented by the majority of the House. The resentment is expressed in vigorous words. The theory has heretofore obtained that the veto was a rare power, only to be exercised in great emergency. The President is using it with munificent liberality. In continually interposing his immature judgment against the deliberative wisdom of 325 men the President cannot but fail to lose the esteem of the national legislature. He hopes to win public approval, but popular feeling generally indorses the judgment of a popular assembly. Mr. Cleveland’s life in the executive office is anything but happy. Trifles do not worry him as they would a man of nervous temperament, but he feels the lack of sympathy and support that Presidents naturally expect from their party. All danger of any open rupture with his party, which threatened at one time, has passed and polite relations, indifferent, if cot absolutely cool, exist. The politicians do not forget that circumstances make Cleveland a very strong candidate for renomination in the next Democratic national convention. AN ABUSE TO BE CORRECTED. How United States Marshals Draw Fees to Which They Are Not Entitled. Washington Special. , The House amendment to the sundry civil bill, offered in regard to fees of United States marshals and clerks of court is likely to stir up some opposition to the bill in the Senate, and will, in any event, stir up United States marshals and clerks. The amendment, however, seems likely to correct an abuse that has grown into a custom in all the courts of the United States, and if all that is claimed is true it will result in a substantial reduction of fees and mileage of marshals. Whenever an indictment is presented against a person who has been arrested, it has beeu the custom for the marshal of the court to slip into the clerk’s office and secure a bench warrant for the indicted party and place him under arrest Fees and mileage are then charged upon this warrant, although the person indicted is already in court -The matter was first brought to the attention of Judge Jackson, of the United States Circuit Court, at Cincinnati. Although the party was sitting then in one of the rooms, the marshal had secured a bench warrant for the arrest, upon which mileage for sixty miles had been charged. The amendment provides that no part of the appropriation shall be used to pay the fees of United States marshals or clerks upon any writ or bench warrant for the arrest of any person in such cases, nor shall any part of the money appropriated be used in payment of a per diem compensation to any clerk or marshal for attendance in court except for days when business is actually transacted iji court, which fact shall be certified in the approval of their accounts.

MINOR MATTERS. An Editor Expresses His Regret Because of His Failure to Employ Miss Cleveland. Special to the IndiansDolia Journal. Washington, July 6. —The fact that the proprietor of an obscure sheet called the Literary Life, of Chicago, has secured the services of Miss Rose Elizabeh Cleveland as the editor of that hitherto unknown production, has led many another publisher to kick himself for his failure to see what an elegant opportunity there was for a big advertisement, if he had only seen his chance in time. The Capital of last Sunday wails like this over the loss it has experienced by failing to see a chance that presented itself: “I am sorry I did not know that Miss Cleveland’s services as a literary editor were available. I should certainly have offered her an opportunity to be the literary editor of The Capital. This, I must think, would have been a much piealanter position for her than the one she hAS taken in Chicago, with a paper that ha3 yet its reputation to acquire.” The proprietor of The Capital, who is also its literary editor, is one of the brightest journalists in Washington. His book reviews and his literary notices generally, are a feature of his paper, and one which commends itself to every educated man. It is doubtful if Miss Cleveland could have improved the literary tone of the paper a particle. Bat the prestige which the connection of her name with the paper would have given the sheet would have more than counterbalanced the amount of compensation which the enterprising proprietor would have had to pay her. Minister Cox Anxious to Come Home. Bp9c.lal to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 6.—A gentleman who is in constant communication with the Hou. Sunset Cox, minister of the United States to the Sublime Porte, is authority for the statement that the funny man has become heartily sick of attempting to explain his jokes to the Sultan, and that he will certainly resign within the next few months. When Cox returns to this country he proposes to take up his residence in tho Ninth New York district, the congressional seat of which was recently resigned by Pulitzer, of the World. Mr. Cox is not in his element in the diplomatic corps, and is anxious to eet back where he can see his name in the Congressional Record every day. This friend of our minister tells me that Cox complains that the Congressional Record he receives has very little fun in it, which he helped to make. He will leave diplomacy to return to legislation as soon as he can conveniently make arrangements to do so. Holman’s View of the President. Washington Special to New York World. Judge Holman said to-day to a World correspondent that Mr. Cleveland, by his wholesale vetoes of pension bills, had done that which it would be difficult to recover from. “Six weeks ago,” continued Mr. Holman, “he was very strong with the people. His marriage did much to strengthen him in the estimation of the public. Every one thought then that he was on the highway to make friends throughout the country, notwithstanding the disappointment of many who had expected a more rapid change in the distribution of the offices. It is hard to realize the extent of the dissatisfaction growing out of the action he has taken on the subject of pensions. Thousand upon thousands of letters are coming in to members showing a decided animosity against the President. This may all blow over, but I have great fear of it.” Tampering with the Record. Washington Special. A serious case of tampering with the Congressional Record has come to may be officially investigated by the House, t week when the vote was taken on the appropriation for the Bartholdi statue, it was discovered that four New Yorkers, known to favor the measure, were absent, namely: Felix Campbell, T. J. Campbell, Bliss and Mahoney. They were not in the House, and did not vote, and the measure was, therefore, lost by three votes. They ought to have been present and voted. So. 10. when the Record appears, all four men are named as in their places and voting for the measure. In order to make the forgery possible four other men who were absent must have been recorded in the negative. _ Patents for Indianinns. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington!

Francis A., Indianapolis, lock for rotating desks; Dodge, Wallace H., Mishawaka, rope splice; Jones, Harry, Richmond, lifting pump; Kirk, Ferrenader, Indianapolis, corset; Mustard, James E., Glenhall, draft equalizer; Summit, Christian A., Assignor of one half to R.

He became widely known as the successful prosecutor of the the assassin Guiteau. He left here last Saturday for lowa in good health, and the news of his death caused a great shock to his numerous friends in this city. He was one of the best known and most popular men in the District. Aoxions to Enter the Mall Service. Washington Special. “Are there many applications for the position of railway mail clerk?’ “Yes, they are quite numerous. I believe there are on file in the department some 60,000 applications. A good many of the applicants are of the opinion that a mail clerk’s position is a soft berth, but when they are appointed and make several runs their idea of the softness changes, and it occasionally occurs that the new men will resign in less thau a month.” Miscellaneous Notes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, July 6.—W. F. Winchester, of Indianapolis, is at the Ebbitt L. A. Burke, formerly of Lafayette, later of Evansville, and for several years a resident of Ipswich, D. TANARUS., is here, seeking the reeistersbip of the United States land office at Aberdeen, D. T. He is indorsed by Indiana Democrats here, by those of his party in Dakota, and is confident that he will be appointed. Senator Stanford, of California, will soon resign his seat in the Senate. He is tired of public life. Recently he had an attack apoplectic in its nature. The Senator is now in Saratoga. Ha will remain in the Senate until Congress adjourns its session, but he wiil resign in order to have his successor duly elected so as to enter the Senate when it meets again next winter. The President to day vetoed the bill providing for a public building at Duluth. The President says he “is entirely satisfied that the building provided for is not immediately necessary,” and he adds that “not a little legislation has lately been perfected, and very likely more will be necessary to increase miscalculated appropriations for, and correct blunders in. the construction of many of the publie buildings now in process of erection.” The President was engaged, yesterday and to day, in examining private pension bills. He signed a large number of the bills, and will return‘several others to Congress this afternoon with veto messages. The regular Cabinet meeting to day was omitted in order to allow the President to give his undivided attention to those casus.

Chicago, July 7.—At a stormy session of the City Council, to-night, lasting till nearly 1 o’clock this morning, an ordinance was passed granting the North Chicago Street Railway Company the use of the La Salle-street tunnel. The consideration demanded for this valuable franchise is the payment of $20,000 rent annually. The company is also required to pave the tuuoel and furnish it for the accommodation of the city’s ordinary traffic. The expense of paving and lighting, however, will be deducted from the annual rental. The president of the company is C. T. Yerkes, and the capital is furnished, it is claimed, by a Philadelphia syndicate, of which Mr. Yerkes is the head. The proposed graoting of the use of the La Salle-street tunnel has been the subject of constant comment since the Council recently gave the same company the right to adopt the cable system on certain streets. The papers have not hesitated to assert that the influence of several councilmen had been purchased by the syndicate, and that the franchise would be eventually sold at a ridiculously low figure. Tho terms of the ordinance passed to night are regarded as very favorable to the company interested. Steamship News.

THE FIRE RECORD. The Denver Academy of Music Destroyed, Involving a Loss of About *175,000. Denver, Col., July 6. —At 1:15 this morning fire was discovered in the Academy of Music, and before the fire department could get to work the flames were leaping through the building in half a dozen places, and in a few minutes the building was one mass of flames. The heat was so intolerable that the firemen were driven from the front of the building, being unable to stand the intense heat. It soon became evident that the Academy was doomed, and the firemen devoted themselves to saving the Rocky Mountain News Building and the Goode & McClintoch blocks, which were adjoining. The flames spread so rapidly and tbs heat became so intense that in less than fifteen minutes after the discovery of the fire the wires of the Western Union Telegraph Company, whose office is in the block directlyacross the alley from the Academy, were melted in two, and all the service was destroyed. The operators managed to save the Wheatstone and other valuable instruments, though several of the relays were destroyed. The fire was the quickest ever witnessed in Denver. A hundred engines could not have saved the building, which was a mass of ruins within an hour after the alarm was given. The ground floor was occupied as business houses, in which several men were sleeping at the time of the fire, all of whom were rescued by the firemen except Tim Enright, an old roustabout who worked in the saloon of John Kineavy. Enright retired at 12 o’clock last night in an intoxicated condition, and was forgotten until too late, and he perished in the flames The cause of the fire is at present unknown. As near as conld be learned the losses were as follows: P. F. Hughes, on Academy of Music, $125,000; insurance, $30,000, Rocky Mountain News, $25,000; insurance, $3,500. John Kineavy, saloon, $5,000; insurance, SI,OOO. Solomon, clothing, $2,000; insurance, $1,200. Lazarus, tailor, $3,000; no insurance. Goode Block, $lO.000; insurance, $7,500. Joseph Meskew, $2,000; no insurance. McClintock Block. $2,500. The smaller losses are estimated at $5,000. A Severe Mouth for Insurance Companies. New York, July 6.—The New York Daily Commercial Bulletin of July 7 estimates the loss by fire in June in the United States and Canada at $9,750,000, an amount 50 per cent greater than the average loss in June for many years. The number of large fires in June was exceptional for that month, there having been twentyone fires where the reported loss was between SIOO,OOO and $600,000, the aggregate loss by these twenty-one fires alone being $4,000,000. There were 154 fires in which the reported loss was SIO,OOO and upwards. The month was a severe one for insurance companies. Incendiary Fire at New Castle. Special to the Indiunapolis Journal Newcastle, July 6.—An incendiary fire at 11 o’clock last night destroyed the millinery stock and fixtures of the Misses McConaha, in a room of the Eiliott Block, on the north side of the court-house square. The first men into the room say the smoke was heavy with coal oil odor, and a partly-filled coal oil can was found on the floor. The rear door of the room stood partly open when first discovered. A 6imilanly suspicious fire occurred in the same room some six months ago. There was an insurance of $1,200 on stock and fixtures. Fires Elsewhere. Milwaukee, Wis., July 6.—At Stevens Point, yesterday mornine, fire destroyed one million feet of lumber and the mill of the Northside Lumber Company. Loss, about $16,000; insurance, $5,000. Later in the day the Jackson House and a dwelling were burned at the same place. Loss, $6,000; insurance unknown. Cleveland, July 7.—At 1:30 this morning two tank cars containing oil exploded on the flats at the foot of Harrison street A half dozen cars of coal were ignited, and the burning oil running down the river set fire to the Central way bridge, which was nearly consumed. A large tank of gasoline exploded also, and for a time it looked as if a terrible conflagration was inevitable. At this hour, 2:15, the fire is under control. The loss will aggregate about SIO,OOO. Cohoes, N. Y,, July 6.— North’s storehouse, containing cotton, wool and manufactured knit goods belonging to numerous manufacturers, including Parsons & Cos. and Silliman, Brooks & Cos., was destroyed by fire late last night. The loss reached $200,000. Hamilton, 0., July 6.—Fire to-night destroyed W. C. Freitling’s double-room dry goods store. Loss, $30,000. Insurance on stoek, $17,000.

A terrible gale prevailed at Apalachicola, Fla., Wednesday, the 30th ult., uprooting trees, unroofing houses and causing a loss of $40,000. The telegraph wires were blown down and six persons—four white and two colored—who were caught iu the bay during the storm, lost their lives. The New York & New England Railroad Company arranged a pienic at Highland Lake Grove, on Monday. A rough crowd was in attendance. Large quantities of liquor were drunk, and a fight took place in which one officer was seriously and perhaps fatally hurt, and over twenty attendants were badly beaten or otherwise injured. On Monday Nicholas Baumann, a German living in the Eighth precinct of Buffalo, N. Y., lifted his infant child from its cradle by the lega and dashed its head against the wall. Baumann then fled and has not yet been captured. He was employed in a lumber-yard on the island, and but recently came to Buffalo from Pennsylvania.

The Lake Shore Switchmen. Chicago. July 6.—During the afternoon, today, twenty empty cars were detailed by the Lake Shore road for use in the stockyards, and one brought away. There was no disturbance except the hooting of the crowd at the Pinkerton men. Superintendent Amsden said: “Under no circumstances will we take back anyone who has interfered with the movement of trains. We will not attempt to shift cars in these yards at night, until the last of September, We have no pressing need to work at night at present. Os course as long as the strike continues we may be subject to annoyances from the strikers.” There is a belief among the men on strike that they will go back to work to-morrow, but Mr. Amsden denies all knowledge of any plan looking to that end. Will Not Compromise with Pullman. Philadelphia. July 6.—A meeting of representatives of the Central Transportation Company was held to day to take action on a recent decision given in the Circuit Court in favor of the company. The proceedings were private,

but one of the gentlemen present stated that the Pullman company had made an offer to compromise the whole difficulty with the Central Transportation Company by surrendering to the latter the 119 cars, in accordance with the decision. The meeting, after considering this (proposition, decided not to accept it, but to insist that the Pullman company must surrender all its leases, including its contract with the Pennsylvania road, to the Central Transportation Company. A statement to this effect will, it is said, be authoritatively issued. Business Embarrassments. New York. July 6 —Stephen Moorehouse & Cos., wholesale grocers, made au assignment today. The direct cause of the failure was the recent death of H. H. Kattc-nhorn, who was indorser on the firm’s paper for about $60,000, and, as his name could not be secured for extension of about $30,000 of it which fell due on Saturday, the assignment became necessary.
