Vo Pensions Allowed Under the Democracy Wms Proclaimed from tbe Stuuip, and Pension Claim Are lieIds I'unhed. Bpcclal to the Eentlncl. Wasihsgtos, Jan. 15. At the Pension Bureau to-day your correspondent was Informed that there bad been, since tbe election of Cleveland, the greatest rush for pen eiocs known in many years. "Why ia this rush?" was asked. "I am told by Senators and Congressmen," replied tha ofurer, "that the soldiers fear tbeir provisions for receiving pensions will be cut off under Cleveland. In some localities they cay it was represented on tbe atumD during the late campaign that if a Democrat was elected President, tbe pension business would be stifled; that if pensions were allowed at all under a Democratic administration, tbew would be hard to get." "Are yon allowing many more pensions tban formerly?" ,They ran about the same all the year around. Of course, this fright over tbe change of administration, and tbe press that men in Congrats are making upon us, squeezes out a prtdty large average." "Do yon think there will ba any diflerance to pensioners under tbe new administration?" "No, sir. If I were receiving a pcusion I wouldn't enap my finger to prevent a change of administration. If any difference la discernible I . would say the pensioner will be the cne that will be profited. It is certainly folly to expect tbe Democrats will do anything to make the soldiers and their friends regret the change on account of pension. The pension of a soldier, bis widow or Aild, is a just and equitable claim against the Government, provided for by law, and it would bring about a revolution to repudiate it. Hut notwithstanding this, more than a thousand letters are received daily by statesmen, showing that thera is lack of confidecce in this matter." THE EDMUNDS KILL. Tl)i Leaving; Out f (Irant'a Nara Said to b buxeeotert by Arthur for Obvioua lta6o&. epi cial to tha Sentinel. Wasiiixuton, Jan. 15. An extraordinary snarl has the Grant retirement bill gotten into. Very positive grounds are taken in tbe House sgainst the Edmunds bill passed by the Senate. Leading Democrats eay the leaving cf General Grant's came out of the bill, so that it will be optional with the President, was done at the eagestion of tbe latter, and that since he saw proper to veto the FiteSohn Porter bill, they will net indorse that action by passing a bill be has dictated eo as not to etaltify himself. It looks now as though the House would refuse to paps any bill ou the subject unless it contains the name cf TJljsros S Grant. The Democrats say they do net propose to subscribe to the veto of the Fitz Jchn Porter bill by paeeiDg the Edmunds bill, and that they intend to show tho psople of the country that they think there is something in a came. They alsD desire some credit In favoring General Grant. The Senate must recede from its action ia this case, as in appropriation?.

A Cntirca Called ljr Sir. ICandall to Talk Over Appropriation Matters. Weni5GT0Jf, Jan. 15. Immediately after the adjournment this afternoon the Democratic members of tbe House cf Representatives held a short caucus. It was announced that its object waa to agree upon a plan of work during the remainder of the session. No plan, however, was presented. Mr. Randall said be tad cs l!d a caucus msre'y to acquaint the members with the appro priation measures. He was of the opinion that there would be no disagreement between the two heuses of Congress, and t iat eery appropriation oill would be passed before the 4 in Of March. He recommaidtd that nothins thould be done which vroul 1 embarrais in any way the new administration. 8raIng of the Naval Appropriation bill for tbe next fiscal year, he said be beheved it would be to the best interest of the Deosociatic party not to appropriate money this ear for an increase of the nary, as had been strongly recommendad. He was in favor of increasiag tbe euenqth of thüt branch of the Government, but thought it best to wait until next year. He thonht the subject ought to be referred to tho Naval Committee of the next Ccnrees; that that committee oncht to thoroughly examine the subject and prepare a plan for the proposed increase and tabmit it to Congress. Mr. O'Ncil, of Missouri, said bo ww a friend of the 1. borers of tho country, and in favor of vo-iLK for the appropriation as mtjch monev at, necessary to keep tbe navy yards in operation. Mr. Ellis said be believed anappropriatioa for the new navy should b made tüis 3es sion, thereby preventing the delay teat would be caused by referring the subject to tbe Naval Committee of the next Congress. Mr. KiDg offered a resolution providing that the Democratic members of the House should follow the majority of tho Committee on Appropriations. After passing a resolution to stand by tho caucus, it aijournei. Tbe Last of the Ashland Murderer, Meal, ' to lie llatiged.

Two other cases of a similar klcd occurred. Deputy Marthtls were afrid apparently to interfere with the Deputy fcherifla and polce. The Deputy Sheriffs were armed with dray-pine. He was asked whether there was net a general feeling among good citizens prior to the election that tho appointment of Deputy Marshals was necessary to si core a fieb and fair tlection. Oojecticn was made. Mr. htewaTt, of tbe committee, thought tbe question was admissible. Mr. Van Alstjne thought the only yiew in which it was edmisibla was in cass tbe witiitss bad many such statements to make to Marshal Wright. Chairman Springer favored tbe quest-on, and tbe witness answered there was such a gtneril fet ling, and there were grave apprehensions of the coming of organized gang's cf repeater?. Oa cross examination he slid bis knowledge of tbe apprshenstoa tust there wes danger cf repeating was obtained from general report, newspaper talk, etc. He did not mention it to Marshal Wrizht. A.
