and disposed of during the year were 203,?J1; those on hand June 3. 1303, none. The cases received show a falling' off over the previous year. Many cases are arising undr the act of July 17. 1102. to pension survivors of various Indian wars, the principal labor binjr to ascertain whether organizations to which applicants belonged were in the military service of the United Htate?, so as to give them a pensionable status. During the last fiscal year the individual military records of officers and enlisted men in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana have been completed according to the index record card system, and work beerun on the records of Illinois. The latter tvill be complete! In a few weeks. This leaves only the Veteran Reserve Corps and Dther United States volunteers, besides the port death detachment and miscellaneous rolls to be completed. The records of the revolution and war of 1S12, which an act of Congress of July 27, required should be indexed, have not yet been transferred from the Treasury and Interior Departments. The determination of the military status of the several classes cf troops has been an important feature of the carding of the report. During the fiscal year 8,421,478 index record cards were filed. . This makes a. total of 33,003,7". index record cards so tiled that the record of any one individual soldier can readily be found.

I..oeliren Hn ot Ilenlcned. WASHINGTON. Nov. 6. The report Is being widely circulated to-night that Commissioner of Pensions Lochren has resigned. The reason aesismed for the resignation is that he is, an old soldier, and is dissatisfied with the attitude of the administration concerning reforms in the pension list. It is also rumored that First Deputy Murphy will take charge. Secretary Smith, when seen to-night, contradicted the report and insisted that there was no truth in it. Commissioner Lochren, when questioned regarding his reported resignation, said: "You can deny in most emphatic terms for me any statement that I have resigned. I am deeply Interested in the reforms which the present administration Is making in the pension bureau and intend to carry them out to the best of my ability." Secretary Hoke Smith has appointed William V. Reppert, of Liberty, Ky., a member of the board of pension appeals. The other members of the board are Orson H. (illmore, of Illinois; John A. Lacey, of Missouri: John S. Pavne. of Tennessee; J. C. McAllister, of Pennsylvania; Robert T. Hill, of Michigan; Patrick J. Rogers, of New York, and Herbert I. Brackett, of Wisconsin. HO MINORITY TARIFF RILL. Republican 1VI1I Simply FIslit the Meanare Presented. ly Democrats. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Nov. 6. "There will be no minority tariff bill presented for the purpose of antagonizing the measure which will be reported next month by Chairman Wilson," said Representative Burrows, of Michigan, a Republican member of the ways and means committee, just before leaving the city to engage in the Ohio campaign. "Wo shall stand firm upon the McKinley law. It i.s good enough for us. It has been tried and has given tne country the greatest era of prosperity it has ever enjoyed. It is possible that, had we reelected our President last year and secured both branches of Congress, we would have slightly amended the law in a few iurticulars, as no measure of such widespread importance and with so many technical fea- . tures can be made perfect upon first effort. But in the coming tariff struggle the Republicans will simply oppose the Democratic tariff bill, leaving them upon the record they have made." "Will the Republicans fight the details of the Wilson bill when it comes before the House?" "Certainly," replied the Michigan leader. "We shall point out some of the benefits the country has derived under the existing schedules as the items in them come up, and will point out the viciousness of the propositions in the new measure. I have no doubt the fur will lly in many places, and there will be barrels and jags of good campaign material in the debate. We will resist the bill as firmly as possible, and the Republicans in the Senate will do the same tl ins." IMPORTS AXD EXPORTS. Statement Showing that Balance of Trade Is Agnliist Is. WASHINGTON.

Clarkson, of Iowa, was sc-.?n to-day at the Plaza Hotel by a reporter, and, In speaking of the financial aspect of the country, said: "This silver panic has been altogether a silver panic created by the bankers for their own Interests, and iolitics have had nothing to do with It. If it was on account of the silver question that trade was depressed its revival should bo great and Immediate. If the government has pulled the right tooth out of the patient he should get well. I don't believe, however, that the silver question was the cause of the depression. The real reason was the unsettled state of the country consequent on the change of tho administration and the probability of a change in the financial policy. The Democratic party has abandoned its intention of adopting free trade. It will give as much free trad? as possible, but it must have money to carry on the government. Why, Mr. Crocker would not run the government of this city if there wos not money In It. The revenue has seriously decreased, and if the tariff was abolished an income tax should be levied, which would be a. most obnoxious measure. It takes $.VX).0),u0O to run the government, and it must bo raised out of revenue or otherwise. "I believe McKinUy will carry Ohio bv a large majority. The Democrats allow that there will bo a majority. Iowa is against free trade and Massachusetts al?$. The Democratic party has got a severe lesson, which wiil, I believe, do it a great deal of good. In my opinion, we should have an American financial policy; we should have a continental financial understanding, and we should have an international financial agreement. If that be possible, but I am afraid that is only a drenm, as the difference of governments, despotic, monarchical and republican, would seem to preclude the possibility of arriving at such an agreement. "I do not look on New York as the center of political opinion at present The center of political opinion lies in the Mississippi valley. Chcago is a typical American city, and has wonderfully increased her inlluence and her reputation by the world's -fair. New York Is a European city, and desires to have the government of this country assimilated with European ideas. The bankers' attack on silver was a portion of this policy. Trade is rapidly reviving and will continue to revive. Now that it has been decided to make no material changes in the tariff the manutactuiers will resume production. "The fight between McKinley and Neal is a fair and square one between the apostle of protection and the apostle of free trade. Ohio is one of the greatest manufacturing States, and its voice may be taken as refiecting the industrial centers of population in the country." TRYING TO LIVE CHEAPER. Pennsylvania AYorkiiiKinen "Want Merchant to Reduce Price. NEW CASTLE. Pa,. Nov. C Delegates from twenty labor organizations in this city met to-day to discuss some method by which the workingman could live cheaper. The wages of the men have been cut down from 20 to 40 per cent, and it was the sense of the meeting that landlords, grocers, butchers and other merchants should make some cut in prices. A co-operative scheme was strongly urged at first, but it was decided to appoint one member from each organization represented, the whole to constitute a committee whose duty it will be to visit the merchants and make a canvass to see which firm will make the greatest discount to the workmen represented by the labor organizations. It was decided to select one grocer, one buteh( r, one clothing man, etc., and throw all the trade to them, provided, of course, that they will make a reasonable discount. In case this Is not dime then the men will start their co-operative store. Work for Many. PITTSMURG. Nov. 6.

One of the Indicted Kokomo Citizens Causes a Sensation. Murder in Morgan County Trick of a Runaway Wife at Muncie Why Kflie Hornbeck Took Poison. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., Nov. 6. The grand Jury to-day indicted six prominent business men of this city for murderous conspiracy. Last July M. L. Garrlgus, nephew of County Auditor Garrigus, was assaulted in a dark hallway by three unknown persons, the purpose being to drive to an isolated spot and administer a coat of tar and feathers. The plot failed. Garrigus shot one of the assailants and escaped. Later Emery Moss, a colored bartender, suffering from a bullet wound, was arrested as one of the attempted abductors. Garrlgus claimed the colored man had been hired by conspirators, and laid the matter before the grand jury. Garrlgus was agent for a Chicago paper that had villified a number of good citizens here, and he alleges they formed a conspiracy to kill him. The grand jury to-day found indictments against L. 13. Ilodgln, a manufacturer and ice dealer; W. F. Ruddell, a capitalist and merchant: II. II. Stewart, councilman from the Fifth ward; James F. Bruff, a leading architect; Harry Chaney, chief clerk of the Clinton Hotel; George Ilodgln, cook at the same hotel; Duff Artis and Emery Moss, the latter colored men, who are supposed to have done the work with the assistance of Ilodgln. All were arrested" and gave bond of $1,000 each. This evening a bloody tragedy was narrowly averted. Councilman Stewart, one of the indicted men, met policeman George R. Hutto in a business house, and after a few words drew a revolver and attempted to shoot the officer. The latter also drew his gun, and hut for the timely interference of the councilman's son a tragedy would have resulted. MlItDERKD AT CHURCH. One 3InnM Throat Cut nnd Another' Hentl Ilndly Ponndcd. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARTINSVILLE, Ind., Nov. 6. Bedford Kent cut Noah King's throat from ear to ear last night at the threshold of Willow Grove schoolhouse while a religious meeting was in progress. The two were mixed up in a quarrel with several others. Isaac Northern was hit on the head with a sluns shot by Milton . Ferrand. King died in twenty minutes. Northern will recover. Kent and Ferrand escaped in the direction of Paragon. It was verv dark, and so few words spoken during the fight that little is known of the cause of the trouble. The worshipers in the congregation thought that the men were not quarreling, but that the talk and noise was the result of intoxicants. But when they went to the scene, just outside of the door, however, they found one man with his head badly bruised and King dying. They carried him into the schoolhouse and he soon expired. Ferrand and Kent are cousins, and the former is visiting with Kent. Kent killed a man once in the Morgan county edge of Marlon county and served three years in the penitentiary for the offense. The sheriff failed to find them last night. XO I1LOOD WAS SHED. A Runaway- AVI ft? Cleverly Ontwltn Her Stupid Husband. MUNCIE, Ind.. Nov. 6. J. M. Williams, an employe of the Chicago postoffice, arrived in Muncie yesterday in search of his runaway wife. It "was reported that the woman was with R. F. Darnell, of Montpelier. in Blackford county, and Williams came with the intention of k-MUncr Knth f them if found together. He called at h lormer nome in .-viuncie ana round the guilty couple, but the woman very neatly foiled him. She met her husband at the door and greeted him with hugs and kisses. Uarnell, who was in the room, was introduced as a relative. The woman said she was just preparing to return home. t:d that she would at once prepare her trunk. After she had been absent from the room for some time, Bamell left the house, bidding Williams good-bye. It now seems that the woman at once slipped out the back door and was joined by Bamell soon afterwards. Since then Williams has been unable to find either, and he will likely take the revolver back to Chicago unused. He is nearly crazed with grief, and cannot explain hl3 wife's actions. Mrs. Williams was raised in Muncie and Bamell is an old lover, who ha a family at Montpellcr. Williams vows that he will murder both on sight. MISS IIORNIIKCK'S Sl'ICIDE.

C The coroner's Investigation of the suicide of Miss Efile Hornbeck, in this city last night, developed the fact that, besides despondency over her serious afiliction, she had a quarrel with her sweetheart, John Weathers, of Indianapolis.

When Weathers saw what had been done lo disappeared, and cannot be found. Miss Hornbeck had attempted suicide by poison twice before while living in Columbus.

White, a rromlnent witness, was absent from the county. Considerable excitement was occasioned by the prosecuting attorney rising and angrily shouting that White was purposely absented from the city, and that the whole thing was a conspiracy to get a continuance. It i3 claimed that Owen's friends have said that if they could get his trial put off until after the Cooprider-Kross murdt case had be:n disposed of he would have a better show, as it Is generally believed that Cooprider will get a light sentence, if any at all, and this would inlluence the jury in dealing leniently with Owens.

FLORIDA WANTS THEM Mitchell and Corbctt Offered Big Purse by the Elks Club. Nothing: Will Be Done, However, Till Word Is Received from New Orleans The Jacksonville Offer. NEW YORK. Nov. 6. A reporter sawBilly Thompson, Mitchell's manager, at the Hoffman House this evening. Mitchell was with him. "1 have seen the printed announcement," said he, "published by Richard K. Fox, stating that the Elks' Club will put up a purse of $20,000 for a fight between Mitchell and Corbett, and guarantee $10,000 as security, but I look on it as something of a myth. At any rate, I haye received no communication from them. The Elks is a good club, and composed of some of the best known men in Florida. We are getting these offu-s every day, but Mitchell will do nothing until he hears from the New Orleans business, and it is finally settled. Mitchell wants the fight to come off. To show how straightforward he is .in this matter, Mr. W. A. Edwards had offered him $20,000 for a ten Weeks' engagement, but he has point-blank refused to acc?pt it until we know whether this is on or olf." "Yes." said Mr. Edwards, "that is fo. I have five one-thou.?and-dollar bills which I will put up now, and the other $15,000 tomorrow, if he will accept the offer, but he won't take it." Manager Brady Faid he believed tho Elks' offer to be bona fide, but would do nothing until he heard definitely from New Orleans. "I expect," he said, "to have an answer to-morrow or next day, at the furthest." The Jacksonville Offer. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 6.-When the story of the negotiations between Corbett and Mitchell and the Olympic Club, of New Orleans, was read here this evening it made at least four men "lauh In their sleeves" for they knew that the story wa3 a big bluff to divert public attention from the real negotiations now going on. Three well known business men of this city have been in negotiation, for the past four days with a New York man very close to both Corbett and Mitchell and the result is that to-night a certified check for $10,000 was mailed to Richard K. Fox, of New York, with a paper attached noting the conditions of the offer from the Jacksonville syndicate. These are as follows: The fight to take place in Jacksonville, Fla,. for a purse of $2-J,000 put up by tha Jacksonville syndicate; the time to be between Dec. 15 and Jan. 13 next: both Mitchell and Corbett to put up a forfeit of $2,500 each for failure to appear and fight; Richard K. Fox to hold the stakes; the fight to be with regulation gloves, Marquis ofQueensbury rules, ten-thousand-dollar check to be put up immediately, the other check for $10,0o0 to be put up as soon as the representatives of Corbett and Mitchell accept these terms, sign the agreement and put up their forfeit of $2,000 each. BRIGGS HEN WILL CONFER. Proposed Meeting: of Liberal Ministers of the Presbyterian Church. CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 6. About fifty of the most prominent liberal ministers of the Tresbyterian Church in the large cities will meet in Cleveland on Wednesday to decide upen the policy for the future. Every effcrt has been made to keep the matter secret, though the result would be made known at all events. Some of the most prominent Briggs men In the country will be present. The circular which called the meeting says: "The present condition of the Presbyterian Church occasions deep solicitude and calls for immediate and serious consideration. Many ministers and elders view with apprehension the tendency to assumption and centralization of the power and the disposition both to impose practically new doma without due constitutional process, ar.d to treat the formal action and overtures of presbyteries with small respect. They fear lest the reasonable tolerance and thti liberty of opinion hitherto enjoyed under the standards shall be abridged, and not a few devoted office-bearers crowded out of good ecclesiastical standing, or even out of the church. In this state cf affairs it will not answer lor loyal 1'resoytenaud to be Inactive or indifferent. We cannot afford to be silent under implied suggeaticns of heterodoxy, nor to seem to acqiiesce passively in arbitrary assumptions, rigid exzluslveness and unccr stitr.tion u i cedure. We must not suffer worthy brethren to be forced needlessly to leave the cl urch. A frank conference of wise and representative men who shall consider what action is nteded at this present juncture to maintain our constitutional safeguards, encourage our disturbed brethren and give frenk expression to our views and position, seems to have become an imperative necessity." Ihe call is Issued by a committee of the New York Synod, which was appointed after the disposal of the Briggs case. ONE THOUSAND DEAD. Victims of the JSantander Explosion Greater Than First Reported. MADRID, Nov. 6. On his arrival at Santander to-day Senor Gamazo held a consultation with the authorities and the leading citizens, and assured them of the deep sympathy of the Queen Itegent, who, he said, had wept upon hearing of the terrible disaster which had overtaken their city. Senor Gamazo telegraphed to Vallodolid for medicines and doctors, and headed a subscription list with $3,000 in behalf of the government. A decree has been Issued authorizing the application of the remainder of the funds contributed for the sufferers by the Consuegra floods to the people who suffered by the disaster at Santander. The fire brig ades from Vallodolid and Bilbao have suc ceeded In extinguishing the flames. The medicines, provisions, clothing and other articles have arrived from Barcelona and other Spanish towns.

The burial of the other bodies which had been recovered a'-o took place to-day. Ir: most cases tho ccfins contained only parts of human remains. Th?se were placed in indiscriminate tombs. Great crowd. attended the funeral ceremonies and followed the remains to the cemeteryDivers began the work of recovering the corpses from the fea, but they became so anpalled at the number of bodies which th-ry found that they refused to proceed, and begged the authorities not to compel them to continue the horrifying task. They said that the fish had begun preying upon the corpses, which were already badly mutilated. Owing to the repupnance of the divers to finish the work, men with grappling irons have been emploed to extract the bodies, from the snu The number of dead, missing and Injured Is still unknown. It is certain that the" number will reach one thousand. 'Many persons are ding from their wounds, and several are existed to die as a result of the friM they experienced at the time of t exi lesion.
