I the cost to the government. Then Colonel I Dnillercame along, and he increased most of the 1 pensions to generally without any re-examination, but by the exercise of the power conferred upon him by law. Commissioner Tanner has now directed the several pension agents to supply him with a list of all pensioner getting les th. 4 a month. Thus far Gen. Don Carlos Buell was the only one who had furnished the list, and when the Commissioner got these lists he should send every pensioner petting less than $4 a month an order to report himself to a medical hoard for examination, and the Commissioner said ho should be very mnch surprised if any medical board of his appointment rated any old fioldier that was entitled to be on thepension list at anything less than $4. "Ido not propose," said the Commissioner, ''by my own arbitrary act to increase these pensions to 4, but if I did I should bo clearly within thef law. The Authority of the Commissioner is enormous. I presume that I conld. by mv own act. increase every pension that is less than 3 to that amount, and I could increase a good many pensions that are of larger amounts. There is a comparatively Small number of specific injuries the rate of pension for which is fixed by Congress, but much th larger number of the rates of pension are fixed within certain limits by the Commissioner, and may be changed by him at will." In regard to published statements of reratings with arrearages, improperly allowed, the Commissioner said that, if he had been imposed on at any time, no one would be more anxious than he to expose the facts and correct the mistakes. He treated the stories published about the management of the Pension Office as political calumnies which it was: of no nse to disprove in detail, as the opposition papers would only get up new stories. Criticisms on the Pension Office he attributed to the Democratic alarm at its present management, and said it was agreed at the recent meeting of the Democratic national committee, and acain at an informal meeting of Democratic Congressmen in this city, that the Pension Office was getting too popular, and it must be attacked and dis--credited. Ho courted an investigation by Congress, and only hoped it would be thorough. If a committee of Conaress would only investigate the present management of the office, and its management for the past four years, there would be music by the full band. The Commissioner spent $ome time to-day talking with the President about the management of his office and the charges against him. although to-dav is the schedule day for considering postoffice business. It is evident, in spite o Secretary Noble's denials in New York, that the President is somewhat disturbed by the condition of things in the Pension Ornce. TWO FOREIGN MISSIONS. Colonel Shepard Anxious to Go to Russia, While .Mr. Kasson Will Likely Go to China. FpecUl to the IiiUanaioIi9 Journal Washington, June 27. There are two other important foreign missions to be filled by tho President, and it is expected that they will be filled within the next ten days. Colonel Elliott Shepard, who was liere yesterday, is anxious to succeed to tho honors which were given to Allen ThomdikeKice, and is doing what he can to enhance his own prospects for representing the United States in the court of the Czars. Mr. Shepard is desirous of spending a few years in St. Petersburg in a diplomatic capacity, and, inasmuch as tho placo was assigned originally to New York, his chances are considered lair. The Chinese mission will doubtless go to a Western man. and, inasmuch as Mr. Kasson has again demonstrated his ability as a diplomate, in connection with Mr. William "W alter Phelps, in the negotiation of the Samoan treaty, it is thought highly probable that upon his return to Washington he will be consulted in reference to this place, and if he expresses any willingness to proceed to China he will be assigned to that mission. THE PRESIDENT'S WORK. lie Is Anxious to Finish Making Appointments Before Taking Ills Vacation. Fpecll to tlie Indlanapollj Journal. Washington, Juno 27. The President to-day cleared tip several of the appointments under the Treasury Department which have been hanging fire for some time, and it is understood that a further batch of appointments will be forthcoming to-morrow. As far as possible the slate of important places will bo worked off this week, and when the President finally leaves for Deer Park, which he will do, in all probability, some time next "week, ho will go -with the intention of leaving business matters entirely behind him. He proposes to have a thorough rest, and to remain as far away from the worry of official life as possible. The President has worked almost night and day since he assumed the duties of his office, and even on the brief trips which he has taken down the Potomac, to New York and Capo May, he has had his head filled with the affairs of tho eovernment, and has had no opportunity to enjoy himself. With all the work of the closing days of the fiscal year upon him the President tinds it almost impossible to get away for his accustomed few hours of rest each week, and has decided not to go to Capo May on Saturday, as he originally lutende'd. It is probable, too, that the Deer Park trip will not be taken as soon as he intended. Tno indications now are that tho President will first deliver his Fourth of July address at Woodstock, and will then meet his family either at Deer Park or in Washington, and accompany them there. OFFICES FOR INDIANIANS. John O. Cravens Appointed Collector and P. M. lllldebrand Surveyor of Customs Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, June 27.

Hildehrand to bo surveyor of customs of the port of Indianapolis. MINOR MATTERS. The Valuable Discovery Made by a PrlTate Kxplorer in the Zambesi Delta. Washington, Juno 27. E. W. Smith, United States consul at Mozambique, in a report to tho State Department, says: "I have to report that Daniel F. Rankin, a private explorer, has mado a ver3 important discovery of a new opening in the Zambesi delta, connecting direct with the main stream of the Zambesi proper. This new opening is called the Chinge river, and it is situated forty-tivo miles south of the Quanua river, on which Quillimane now stands. On the bar itself of the Chinge river, at the lowest fall of the springtides, there is a tfood three fathoms of water, with a channel somo live hundred yards wide, and with good anchorage under shelter of the land. Hitherto commerce has been restricted and coulined because of tho difficulties attending the present route from the coast to the Zambesi, both at Quillimane and Inhouayso. and it has been lonjr felt that such a discovery as Mr. Kankin has made was of the greatest necessity and importance to the development of the vast ami rich regions drained by this water-way, and also of tho greatest importance to the whole of tho districts surrounding Lake Nyassa." Ilaftcnlly Alabama Official. Washington, June 27. The Commissioner of Internal Kevenne has sent to the Attorney-general a formal complaint against the United States marshals and commissioners in Alabama..

The Attorney-general has rendered an opinion in which he holds that a national bank cannot ho established anywhere in the Terri tory of the five civilized nations in tho Indian Territory. The objections to estab lishing national banks there, he says, grow out of the treaties now in force between the United States and the five nations. The treaties provide that these nations shall be unrestricted in the right of selfgovernment and jurisdiction over persons and property in their limits, and the effect of the treaties make it safe to say that the national banking laws are not in operation in this Territory. The ttureau of Engraving and Printing. Ibccial to the Indianapoll:i Journal. "Washington, June 27. Mr. E. O. Graves, who, for the past four years, has been Chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, has been making farewell calls upon his friends around the city to-day, and will leave for tho Pacific coast next week. Mr. Graves says he had an understanding with Sccretarv indom. whereby his res ignation will go into effect on tho 1st of July, and it is. therefore, probable that the appointment of his successor, which has been delayed so long, will be made on or before that day. Captain Meredith is still ii ere, anu it is mougut no nas xne insiuo track in tho race for this place. Asking Redress from Guatemala. Washington, June 27.J. II. Hollander, who claims to havo been improperly treated by the unatemala government in being expelled from that country, was at the Department of State, yesterday, presenting his case to tho officials. As there is no minister here from that government it is probable that the matter will be held in abeyance until one, who is now ou his way to this country, reaches Washington, and can be communicated with upon the subject. General Notes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington. June 27. Hon. W. D. Owen, of Logansport, left for his home to day.

To-day her relatives received a letter from her dated at St. Louis, yesterday, in which there was no intimation of trouble, but which treated of family matters. So far as learned she had no lover. The proprietor of the hotel where she was employed reluctantly gave her a leave of absence until Jnly 1. Sho had diamonds and other jewelry to the amount of 200 or o00. m m The Bottom Fell Out of Ills Cellar. Wilkksrarke, Pa., June 27. As Conrad Shafer, a plasterer was eating his breakfast at his home on Miner street, in Plains, this morning, he suddenly heard a great clatter of dishes and glassware about tho house, accompanied by a shock which shook his frame residence from ton to bottom.

Rushrille to Be Allowed to Retain the Elec-trlc-Llght riant Bought by the City. Special to the Inrtlanapolis Journal. RusnviLLE, June 27. Judge Samuel A. Bonner made his finding, to-day, in the case of the Rushville Gas Company vs. the City of Rushville, the Edison United Manufact uring Company and tho Buckeye Eugine Company. The points decided were that in the case where a resolution passed by a vote where six councilmen constitute a body, and all are present, three voting for the resolution and three refusing to vote, the Mayor thereupon declaring the resolu tion passed, such resolution was legally passed. Also, that the act of the legislaure of 1883 entitled, "An act in relation to the lighting of cities and towns, and furnishing tho inhabitants thereof with electric light and other forms of light," etc., confers the power on cities and towns to buy and own electric-light plants. The attorneys for the plaintiff gave notice that they would carry the case up.

MRS. nAIES S FUNERAL. Many Persons Arrive at Fremont to Attend the Exercises To-Day Tributes of Respect. Fremont, 0., June 27. Quite a number of personal friends of the Hayes family from different points have arrived to-day and this evening to attend the funeral of Mrs. Hayes to-morrow, and in the morning a special train will arrive from Columbus bearing a throng of old-time friends of the ex-President and his lamented wife. Gov. and Mrs. Foraker are expected to be in the party. There are already present at Spiegel Grove to-night twenty-one out of the twenty-four persons who were guests at the White House at Washington on Dec. SO, 1877, when General and Mrs. Hayes celebrated their silver wedding anniversary. The list of personal friends who are under the Hayes roof to-night embraces General and Mrs. Mitchell, Doctor and Mrs. Fullerton, and R. IL Piatt, of Columbus; J. W. Herron and wife, Dr. John Davis and wife, of Cincinnati; Mrs. Ellon G. Coke, Mrs. Gilmore, Miss McKcll and J. S. McKell, of Chillicothe; Mr. and Mrs. Lemuel Boggs, of Circleville; Mrs. and Mr. Scott Boggs and Miss Boggs. Every train to-day has brought exauisite Horal tributes from army comrades, military organizations, temperance and other societies and personal friends. One of remarkable beauty and immense size was that sent by the survivors of Company G, Twenty-third Ohio, General Hayes's old regiment, coming from Ashland. O. The library table at Spiegel Grove is literally heaped with telegrams and letter of condolence from every part of the Union North, South, East and West. Almost every commandery of the Loyal Legion is already represented in this, as are members of tho G. A. R. posts, army officers, men of national prominence in politics, literature and philanthropy. The society of the National Prison Congress, of which General Hayes is a prominent member, also sends condolence. One of. the facts worthy of note is that in the mass of telegrams and letters of condolence t here'are several prominent from liquor dealers in tho different cities of the country. These porsons were not known to Mrs. Hayes personally, and their action was prompted not by personal friendship, but out oi respect lor tne memory of a woman who proved herself neither a bigot nor extremist, but who, when elevated to the position of first lady of the land, modestly resolved that the honors of the place shonld make no dillerence in her standard of selfrespect, of womanly influence, or matronly duty, and banished wine from the White House table as she always had from tho family board at her own home. Very sympathetic letters were received from Gen. W. T. Sherman, Hon. Carl Schurz aud Geo. W.Curtis. There has been a little difficulty in recon ciling tho wishes of the Hayes famiby with tho desires of the citizens of Fremont as to tho arrangements for the obsequies tomorrow. The latterdesiro to testify their unstinted admiration of and affectionate sympathy lor Mrs. Hayes by a grand public demonstration at the funeral, while the family preferred to preserve in the character of a private occasion. General Hayes is a member of tho order of Odd-fellows, and the brethren desired to attend in full re galia, with a representation from the order in Fremont and this entire section of Ohio. 'Ihe various temperance organizations, tha Woman's Relief Corps, and other civic and secret orders, were anxious to join in a great public demonstration on the occasion, but the wishes of Geneial Hayes were paramount, and it was decided that no order except the Graud Army should turn out as an organization to-morrow. The members of Eugene Rawson Post and Manville Moore Post, with volunteers from the other J Grand Army organizations of this section, J wil act as guard of honor. Tho ititire :rmiitritn'iit. of the fnnml rortpfe is under control of Col. W. E. Haynis, Congressman from this district. The comrades will meet at'Birehard Hall at 2 r.

THE ARREST OF BEGGS. He Was Taken Into Custody for Unduly Inlluencing Certain Cronln WltnesHc. Chicago, June 27. Salesman Hatfield, of Revclle & Co., was allowed an opportunity this afternoon to see lawyer John F. Deggs, senior guardian of Clan-na-Gael camp Xo. 20, in his cell at the armory. The object was to see whether Hatfield could identify Peggs as 4J. B. Simonds," who bonght tho Carlson cottage furniture. He was unablo to make the identification: It seems that a messenger boy in Revelle's who was present when Simonds bought the furniture, subsequently 6aw Beggs on the street and thought he recognized him as Simonds. An afternoon paper says: "John F.

Beggs was arrested because tho police were apprised that the schemers had concocted a cock-and-bull story about the alleged trial in camp No. 20, which was given by all the members of that camp in great detail. The story was told to the grand jury, but there was too much of an exact sameness about it to stamp it with the seal of truth. It was learned that John F. Beggs had been visiting the members of the alleged trial committee, and he, it was thought, had put a Ilea in the ear of more than one of the committee. 'Therefore said Detective Palmer to-day, we thought it best to put Mr. John F. Beggs wnere he could not talk or hold communication with the. outside world. We jnst thought, too, that Mr. Beggs could be got at with greater ease if under arrest than if he were allowed to roam at will.' " State's Attornev Longenecker received a reply to-day to his advertisement which he inserted in the papers two 'days ago, asking the writer of the anonymous letter in regard to the recent trial in camp No. 20 to meet him. The letter stated that Dr. Cronin was tried by an "inner circle" in camp No. 20. It gave what purported to be the names of the men who formed the trial committee, and who formally decreed the death of Cronin as a British spy. The writer said he himself had been a member of the trial committee, but had withdrawn when he became convinced that the Doctor's death was intended. The State's attorney, in his advertisement, stated that if the writer of the letter would meet him and tell what he knew, he would bo given protection. The answer was received to-day. and said that the writer was willing to accept the proposition to tell all he knew. Ho would meet the State's attorney at a time and place selected by tho latter. ; The grand jury took a new tack in tho Cronin case this morning, and once more started in to look up Alexander Sullivan's speculations. Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Dupee were subpoenaed to bring their books iuto the jury for inspection. It is believed that in this way light will bo thrown upon the features of Alexander Sullivan's speculating record which have hitherto escaped scrutiny. Among other witnesses before tho grand jury were two men named O'Malley and J. G. Ryan, who said they were not members of the Clan-na-Gael. Pat Dolen, the saloon-keeper: Frank Scanlan, M. F. Brady, the North-side milk-man: William Kelly, John Muldoon and several Clan-na-Gael people were also examined. This afternoon session adjourned at 7:30 this evening for the day. Nothing of interest developed at the afternoon session. An indictment was returned by the grand jury, but it was against a gambler for a petty offense, having no connection with the Cronin alfair. Chief Hubbard said to-night: "There have been no 'squeals' from any of the suspects, but you can put it down that we are getting at the bottom facts. We are not only working to convict the camp No. 20 committee, but a great many others on tho outside." A special dispatch from Chillicothe, Mo., Bays: "Four strangers arrived in town this morning. They are supposed to be detect ives from Kansas City. They took separate teams and drove to Dawn. Springhill, j Wheeling and Mooresville, respectively. All were armed, and it is expected that Cooney will be captured in a few hours. A man answering the suspect's description was seen last night, making f or Jamesport." Cronin Not Tried by Camp No. 20. Peoria, 111., June 27. Edward Spellraan, district delegate for the Clan-na-Gael, in an interview last night in reference to the disbanding of camp No. 20, of Chicago, states positively thatthe camp was not disbanded, as had been stated, and that it would not be. He further said: "If the State's attorney calls upon me for tho records, I will produce them for him at any time he may desire. Camp No. 20 had no connection with the Cronin aflair. The dead man was a member of camp No. 24. and had not been a member'of camp No. 20 for over live years. The idea that ho was tried by camp Xo. 20 is an error. A member of one camp could not be tried by tho council of another one. There is nothing in the records of Camp Xo. 20 which we are not willing for the world to see." NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.

A Prominent New Yorker Corrects a Statement Iteg-vdlns Uncoln'n Death. James ILCBelrae, In New York Tress." ' For the sake of the truth of history, as I understand it, I ask to make a correction of a statement which appears iu your issue of to-day, to the ell'ect that 'Commissioner James Tanner took the dying statement of tho martyred President, Abraham Lincoln." I was officially present as provost marshal of the District of Columbia, with but short intervals of absence, too in significant to be unaware of any important event which transpired in the room where the great Lincoln lay on his death-bed from the time when ho was first carried into the modest house where he died, on Tenth, street, nearly opposite Ford's Theater, in Washington, now the Army Medical Museum. I was at or near Secretary of War Stanton's side, uuder his orders most of tho time, and stood near him at the rear door in the gray of the morning when Mr. Lincoln died. He had been unconscious, manifesting life only by heavy stertorous breathing from tho moment when he was lirst laid in the litt lo rear bedchamber, where he died. When lirst brought there, he was more than comatose, hardly breathing. At the suggestion of tho physician, a civilian then in chnrge of him ran to the restaurant next door to tho theater and procured a largo sarsaparillaglass of brandy, which was poured down Mr. Lincoln's throat, aud seemed tore-establish respiration. Had Mr. Lincoln made a dying statement to any ono I should havo known it, except it occurred when Mrs. Lincoln, in great grief and distress, knelt at tho bedside and bowed low to her husband's face. When it became evident that President Lincoln could not live, I conducted Mr. Andrew Johnson, the then Vice-president, to tho death chamber of Mr. Lincoln, from the Kirkwood House, bv direction of Mr. Stanton, Secretary of War, in order, as I understood, that a Cabinet session might be held "to determine what was to be done. After this, which took place in a front room, Mr. Stanton dictated messages to foreign governments, and others, concerning the assassination. When Mr. Lincoln breathed his last, in a guttural, gasping struggle for breath. Mr. Stanton was looking out of the window into the breaking twilight of morning dawn, with one foot on a chair, and holding its back with his right hand as he leaned with his left elbow on his bended knee. No ono has more respect for Corporal Tanner than 1, anil 1 do not write this statement to detract from any connection he may have had with the great tragedy. But I know him well enough to feel that in a correct and true statement of the terrible tragedy which so moved our country with sorrow and pity through every loyal heart in it and throughout tho civilized world, ho does not wany any notoriety. or importance attributed to him which docs not bolong to tho truth and the facts. I do not write this now for tho first time after more than a quarter of a century, for any other purpose than to help in an humble way to lis the correctness of history in regard to the culminating point of ono of America's f reatest but saddest dramas the uucalledor and cruel assassiuation of that truly ood and great man, the martyr, Prcsideut tincoln. GLOVES OF HU31AN SKIN. TThen the Truth Ii Known the Wearer Ii Likely to Feel Uncomfortable. Philadelphia ltecord. 'Gloves which are sold as kid arc often made of human Fkin." said Dr. Mark L. Nardyz, the Greek physician, of No. 710 Pine street, yesterday. "The skin on the breast," continued tho physician, "is soft and pliable, and may be used in the making of gloves. When people buy gloves they never stop toqucstiou about the material of which thfcv are made. Tho shon-keeper himself may e in ignorance, and the purchaser has no means of ascertaining whether the material is human skin or not. The fact is, the tanning of human skin is extensively carried on in France and Switzerland. The product is manufactured into gloves, and these are imported into this country. Thus you see a person may be wearing part of a distant relative's body and not know it" Then the Doctor drew from a drawer a brand-new pair of black gloves. "There," ho said, "is a fine article made from the skin of a child. An the hide of a kid compares with that of a goat, so, of course, does tho skin of a child compare rith that of an adult, and it is much sought iu Franco for glove purposes." "The skin on a man's back makes pood, sole-leather,' said tlie Doctor. 4,Nsturo has protected mau's Miiuo by a skin which is much heavier than that on other parts of the body. Here is a piece of well-tau-ned skin from the calf of a man's leg." Aud the Doctor displayed a bitof white leather, fetrong and thick. In a museum in Pclgium are the bodies of six members of one family. They wero all buried in a tan-yard, and when they were exhumed, years afterward, the skin, llesb, and even tho bones were well preserved, eo thoroughly tanned were all th parts. These wpecimeus are in a better btate of preservation than are the Egyptian mummies. . ml, A few years azo General Pen liutler effectually checked tho tanning of human skins in MassachiiMetts. and since that timo the business has ceased. The lew samples of tanned human skin now obtainable wero made by scieiitihts as an experiment. Dr. Nardyz formerly poss ssed a line pair of slippers made of the fkin of a member of the genus homo, but hi wife did not liko the idea of her husband literally wearing a dead man's shoes, and so one day tlicy vanished. The Doctor does not say a word, but he thinks ho knows who is responsible for their disappearance. m 4 Mistakes in cultivation are made in not doing tho work at the proper time, which increases tho labor, and causes tho work to be repeated sooner than is lu ct Hsary. Tho best time to use the cultivator for the purpose of destroying the grass is when tho heat of the sun is bich. If done before a rain occurs some of the grass will take root nndmake new growth.
