The report recommends when a homestead or pre-emption claimant receives a patent, and mineral is discovered subsequently im his claim, his certificate of entry shall act as a bar to any mining claim npon tho discovery made subsequent to entry. The report recommends a repeal of all laws relating to public timber, and an enactment of a general law, plain, concise and unmistakable in it meaning. Fewer fraudulent entries have been made during the year than for many years past, owing to the increased vigilance; but several cases are mentioned in the report where syndicates sought to obtain coal lands by fraudulent means, and, in one case, had they succeeded, the commission alone would have amounted to $0,000.

He la Not Agitating Hi Alleged Grievance, bnt I Not In a Mood to Go to Ohio. cial to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, Sept. 19. Mr. Tanner is not agitating what might be called his grievances. He is very much cut up by what has transpired, and his friends have been doing all the work in the direction of seenring for him tho position of Eecorder of Deeds. In fact, Mr. Tanner has never been away from his own residence since the day he closed np his affairs at the Pension Office. He has not been lonesome, however, as he is visited every day and evening by Grand Army friends and those -who want to see him squared before the public. It is not likely that the retiring Commissioner -will accept the invitation of Gov. Foraker to come out and stump Ohio during the present campaign. Mr. Tanner is not exactly in a mood to do any stumping at present, and unwarranted conclusions might be drawn if lie went into the Ohio campaign at this particular timo. In speaking of the invitation to a friend yesterday, he Indicated that he would not accept it. They say that 1 have been talking too much anyhow lately," said he, "and I guess now will be a good time for me to give my iaw a rest." The vicissitudes of politics lave in no wise curbed the expressiveness of the late Commissioner's observations. TENSION KLTONGS. i Kpllejuj Contracted In Service a Valid Claim Dr. Mary "Walker's IJrother Refused. FpecUl to the IadjanapolU Journal Washington, Sept. 19. Assistant Secretary Bussey has reversed the action of the Pension Office in rejecting the application for pension of K. M. Diets, late a corporal of Company G, Thirtieth New Jersey Volunteers. He applied for a pension for epilepsy, contracted while on duty about June 1, 1803. The evidence showed that he was not subject to epilepsy prior to entrance into the army, and a careful investigation into his history developed no cause to which his present disability could be ascribed other than his army service. His claim was rejected for insufficiency of evidence,, bnt General Itasey holds that in the absence of evidence of any other cause to which tho allcgeddisability can be ascribed, whatever doubt there may exist should be retained in favor of the applicant, and he therefore directs that He be pensioned. Assistant Secretary Bussey has rejected a claim for a pension of Alvah II. Walker, it led -by his nearest friend. Dr. Mary E. Walker, his sister, who represents that ho is non compis mentis. The allegation is that Walker suffered a sunstroke while in the service, but after sifting the evidence Gen. Bussey finds that it is insufficient to establish the facts alleged, and "the claimant's general appearance, his habits as towork, lis mental eccentricities are shown to have been about the same before his service as they have been since, barring the effects of advancing age." 3IINOU MATTERS. Change In the Manner of Purchasing Silver for Coinage Into Standard Dollars. Washington, Sept. 19. Secretary Windom has decided that in the purchase of silver for coinage into standard silver dollars he will hereafter accept the lowest offers for the amount required, provided the Crice is within the market rate as required y law. This reverses the practice of the department under the last administration of making counter oilers, and is a return to the practice which prevailed prior to 1SS3. The change in the practice is said to be due to representations by bankers and others that the practice of making counter oilers was in eliect an attempt by the government to "bear" tho silvermarket by forcing down the market rate. Secretary Windom in speaking of the matter to-day said this action meant nothing more than appeared on the snrface, and was not to be understood as indicating any change in tho policy of the administration in the matter of the coinage of silver.

Decoration day week was requested to be set apart by tho G. A. R. for the purpose of taking collections for this fund. Designs for the statue have not been advertised for, tho committee being unanimous in the conclusion that the work be given to J. A. Q.

It was also agreed that the initiation fees of now members shall be applied to tho monument fund. Toledo, O., was selected as tho place of tho next meeting, which will be held Sept. 17 and 18, 1S90.

The question of initiation fees and the election of General Ordway and Colonel Wilson as honorary members, also the sous of members of the Army of the Cumberland was deferred until the next meeting. Senator Manderson, of Nebraska and Congressman Grosvenor, of Ohio, were requested to introduco a resolution in Congress asking for an appropriation for tho purchase of Gen. S. W.

W.J. Colburn. of Chattanooga, vice-president-elect of the society, and Maj. Petti bone, were among the speakers of the evening. Chickamauga Memorial Association. Chattanooga, Sept. 19. The preliminary meeting of the Chickamauga Association was held at 2 p. M. to-day in a mammoth tent erected for the occasion. The big tent was gorgeously docorated by the ladies of the city, the wives aud daughters of solddiers of both sides. Tho tent was opened lirst to the old soldiers of tho Ariny of tho Cumberland and members of the Grand Army of the Republic, who wero given front scats, there being fully 2.500 of them. Thcso wero followed by a long line of ex-confederato soldiers, 1,000 strong, headed by the United States Seventh Kegiment Band from Atlanta, and as the boys in grey marched into tho tent to the enlivening strains of the Star-spangled Banner, the immense throng of people roso to their feet and a long cheer followed for the old confederate soldier, which was responded to with the "rebel yell,; and a grand hurrah for the old flag. There was a general intermingling of old soldiers, tho confederates being sandwiched in among the old feder als. This circumstance attracted general attention. The meeting had been called to organize a memorial association, comprised of old federal and confederate soldiers lor the purpose of purchasing the ground of the Chickainiuga battle-lield and converting it into a national park dedicated to the meinorjr of the soldiers of both armies who engaged each other on that bloody field. , Kev. J. W. Bachman. ex-confederate chaplain, of this city, offered a fervent prayer, invoking the blessing of tho Almighty on tho movement about to be made to cement and bind the hearts of the old soldiers together. Capt. J. F. Slnpp, commander of N. B. Forrest Camp, ex-confed-ate veteraus of this city, nominated Jen. W. S. Kosecrans as chairman in a fitting speech in which he alluded to the General as the hero of Chickamauga. Amid uproarious applause the General was chosen, and, in a few words, heartily indorsed the Chickamauga memorial movement. He called the meeting to order. After some spirited music Gen. H. ,V. Boynton, of Washington, D. C, was introduced as one of the leading spirits in inaugurating the grand movement. Gen. Boynton expressed the belief that the next Congress would hear tho petition of the old soldiers of both sides, and would rescue the old battle-field from the ownership of private parties and dedicate it to the perpetuation of tho memory of the heroio bravery and fortitude of American soldiery. In the battle yf Chickamauga 332 per cent, of both armies was lost, over :i,000 men being killed, missing and captni ed. General Boynton's address was the key-note of the occasion, and the old soldiers stood up and yelled for the Chickamauga National Park. Following General Boynton, ex-Governor Albert S. Marks, of Tennessee, responded on behalf of the ex-confederates of the South, strongly urging the organization of tho association. Governor Marks's address was eloquent and scholarly, and was frequently interrupted by applause. Ev-Gov-ernor Marks created a slight sensation when, turnicg to General Kosecrans, he characterized him as the greatest military genius of the war on the federal side, and gave him credit for tho victory in battles about Chattanooga. General Marks was followed by CoL W. A. Henderson, of Knoxville, an ex-confederate, who thanked God for the reunion of the blue and gray. Colonel Henderson alluded to tho results of the war by saying that tho South was the greater victor of the two sections. Slavery had been abolished, and the dignity of labor had been established; the young men of the South had learned to work, and were glad of it. "You boys in blue," said the Colonel, "won the lawsuit between the South and the North, bnt we got the mule." Colonel Henderson was warmly and enthusiastically applauded. Gen. H. M. Cist, secretary of the Army of the Cumberland, begged all old soldiers to nse their influence with tbeir Congressmen, and Senators and State legislators to further the interests of the organization. A general hand-shakingfollowed between old soldiers, 4,000 of whom were in and about the tenf. Adjourniuent was then had to the battle-field of Chickamauga, where a permanent organization will be effected to-morrow, after which a great barbecue,

prepared for 15,000 people, will be spread by the people of Chattanooga, assisted by citizens of Koine, Ga Four Regiments at Terre Haute. Special to the Imliauftpolis Journal. Terre Haute.

A MATTER OF FIGURES. A Little Statement Showing the Extravagance of the Cleveland Administration. Philadelphia Press. Democratic papers are talking about Republican extravagance. This is nonsense. Let the figures tell the truth. They show that President Cleveland's administration was tho most extravagant tho country has ever had. President Cleveland's administration had in four years appropriations to the amount of $1,CS9,558,4U. This is &jti,335,S13 more than the previous Kcptblican administration had; it is $400.000,0u0 more than wasaipropnated for tho administration of President Hayes, and it is more than this larger than tho sum which the government cost under President Grant, at a time whtn every Democratic paper was yelling extra vaeance and corruption. Not satisfied with getting $OC,000,000, or about 10 per cent, more than had ran the government xinder a Republican administration. President Cleveland, in the estimates submitted, asked for $113,819,791 more than his predecessor had in fouryears, or almost 12 per cent, more than had seemed wise or prudent to a Republican administration, whose estimates were a constant text for Democratic sermons on extravagance and public waste. Turning from the appropriations, which cover ail outlays, compare the 'net ordinary expenses" of these economical Democrats with their wasteful, extravagant predecessors. Excluding interest and payments on.the public debt, here is the money it took to run the government, with what the Recordcalls a Republican "policy of deliberate extravagance," and the pains-taking economy, tho irugal thrift, tho cheese-paring simplicity ' of our Democratic friends: Grant, first term 35,09.1.000 Grant, second term r73,913,000 Hayes 1142,314,000 Oar lie Id-Arthur 791.539.0OO Cleveland 030,034,000 For eight long years Grant, the great soldier, the simple man, the honorable publio officer, was held up to tho country as presiding over an era of corrupt extravagance which debauched the nublic conscience. Yet in eight years his administration spent only SI 129.C0C.000. against Cleveland's 'jsG,0:4.000 in four years, so tbat Cleveland s expenditure in fouryears was 87 per cent of Grant's in eight, or where Grant spent 1 a year Cleveland spent $1.70. As f orPresident Harrison, tne Democratic House took care that he could not be extravagant over his Democratic predecessor. The regular annnal appropriations for tho last year of Cleveland were, for liSSS-'tfi, faoaftfi.!M4; for the first year of Harrison, or lj9-HJ0. they were $21,878,095, or $23,1(Hfe41 less than Cleveland had. Yet when Secretary Windom wisely and, skillfully arranges government expenditure' so as to avoid the unseemly and demoralizing spectacle of tho Treasury interfering in Wall street every Democratic paper insists that this administration, with S-.000.000 a month less to spend than was expended in the last year under Democratic control, is wasting the people's money.
