Victory j finally crowned the efforts of the demtocrata In the house today, but the battle to secure the report on the Tucker bill repealing the federal election laws, I which bef?an five days aj?o. was only won by the vigorous application of the ( party lash supplemented by an order ' from the committee on rules. Kvcn Ijthen It required six hours of hard fihting: before the stubborn minority could te defeated. Every expedient that skillful parliamentary maneuvering could devise was resorted to by ex-Speaker Reed, who stood In the breach all day directing the movements of the minority. The task was hopeless, however, as long as the democratic quorum, whieh appeared for the first time today, held. Once only did the quorum break '.down. But on the next roll call It reappeared, and the ground that had been lost quickly was regained. Gradually by roll call after roll call the minority was hemmed in. The speaker's rulings enraged the minority; the excitement rose to fever pitch, but there were no Fuch wild scenes as characterized the Fifty-first congress. The republicans took their medicine with fairly good grace. When at last the fipht was over, the report on the Tucker bill was presented, and with it an application from the committee reporting it, asking for a special order for Its consideration. The committee on rules will probably report the order tomorrow, and the debate on the real merits of the measure will proceed immediately. Reed nnd Borrows Die Hard. A parliamentary duel was fought between Mr. Burrows on the cne side, supported by "Ir. Reed, and the speaker on the other. The members crowded the area In front of the speaker's desk and the galleries listened Intently. But the subtle blade of the Michigan leader went down before the broad sword of the Georgia speaker. The speaker overruled the point of order pointing out that the committee on rules could originate orders of business for the house Just as the committee on appropriations could originate appropriations. The decision was celved with loud democratic applause, idr. Burrows promptly appealed from the decision of the chair and Mr. Fitch as promptly moved to lay the motion on the table. Mr. Burrows sought to increase the parliamentary tangle by moving, pending Mr. Fitch's motion, that the house take a recess for one hour. Mr. Catchlngs raised the point of order that pending action on a report from the committee on rules tnly one motion was in order. Mr. Bur,'wws was allowed to make an argument against the point raised by Mr. Caterings, during which the speaker instructed the clerk to read the ordr. "I object," shouted Mr. Reed again and again, standing in' the a!?le, his big frame shaking like an enraged Hon. But the speaker only pounded the desk with his gavel and ordered the clerk to proceed. The hot blood of partisanship was coursing through the veins of the house and the excitement grew Intense. "Nothing can be gained by ordering the clerk to read a report when he has no right to do it." yelled Mr. Red defiantly. He then went on Impassionately to Inveigh against the action of the peaker. After some further stricture on the chair he concluded: "If Herod is to be out-Heroded, Herod intends to witness the transaction." this sarcastic and half humorous reference to the old struggles against his own rulings elicited a burst of applause from both sides of the house. SpenUer Crisp' Itullng;. The speaker then went carefully over the parliamentary status, following it Ihronologically and concluded by sustaining the point of order marie by Gen. Catchlngs against Mr. Burrows's motion lo take a recess. This ruling was greeted with democratic cheers. Mr. Payne attempted to appeal from this decision. "Two appeals cannot be In order," shouted the speaker. "The question before the house Is the appeal of the gentlemen from Mi.-higan (.Mr. Burrows). The clerk will call the roll." The taction of the minority had been unavailing. By a vote of 172 to JiC, the house sustained the decision of the chair. Mr. Hepburn of Iowa, upon the announcement of the vote, moved to take a recess for two hours. This led to a triangular wrangle over the parliamentary status between Mr. Henburn. Mr. Outhwalte and Mr. Reed. The latter was exceedingly caustic. "If It is the purpose of the majority," he declared, "to have a rule artificially drawn; seized upon by the speaker and the house by main strength In order to rob the minority of Its rights we want the country to understand what has been done. If you want to push this through," he added sneerlngly, "we shall see what we shall see." Mr. Hepburn appealed from the decision of the chair. Some of the Impatient democratic members, chafing under the slow progress that was being made, did not want the chair to entertain the appeal, but Speaker Crisp announced that he Inclined to the greatest liberality In the matter of appeals In cases like this where practice was not well established and accordingly he submitted the appeal to a vote. On the ap peal the republicans, in obedience to a nod from Speaker Reed, refused to answer to their names. The Chair Sustained. The decision of the chair was sustainedayes, 177; nays, 2. The question then recurred on ordering the previous question on the report from the committee on rules. Thea

motions came thick and fart. All were brushed aside by the speaker. Mr. Payne of New York raised the question of consideration against the report. Mr. Catchlngs made the point that he was out of order. Mr. Payr.e, who wm being coached by Mr. Reed, appealed from the decision. "The vote just taken." announced the chair, "sustained the decision of the chair, which held that no motion was In order except one motion to adjourn. The chair therefore refuses to entertain, the appeal and further announces that no further motions will be entertained until the report of the committee is acted upon." The whole democratic side broke Into wild cheering when this anonuncement was made and a wave of applause swept over the galleries. Although realizing that they were baffled, the republicans persisted In their stubborn light. Mr. Burrows moved to lay the report of the committee on the table. The speaker ruled the motion out of order and also declined to entertain an appeal. Rome confusion followed. A dozen members were on their feet and the speaker, who was In a hot altercation with Mr. Payne, brousht down his gavel and ordered all members to take their seats. Every member Instantly seated himself, except ex-Speaker Reed, who loomed up defiantly in the midst of the minority. "Gentlemen will reeume their seats," again shouted the speaker. Reed Cieta I'jilr. Mr. Reed was pale with rage. For a moment he stood eyeing the speaker as though hesitating whether to obey the order and then sank into his seat. This evoked more democratic applause and then the "roll 'call began on ordering the previous question. In spite of the vigorous efforts of the whip the democrats failed to muster a quorum on this roll call. Mr. McRae of Arkansas and Mr. Cooper of Texas, who were absent when their names were called, sought permission to vote, but the speaker declined to allow them under the rule. The vote stood 174 to 3, lacking two of a. quorum. Nothing was left then for the democrats but to order a call of the house. Mr. Fitch accordingly made the motion. The democrats succeeded In avoldlnjr one roll call by voting against Mr. Fitch's motion to proceed to a call of the house. It developed 187 democrats on this motion. The vote recurred on ordering the prevous question on the report of the committee on rules. The previous question was ordered ISO to 3. Mr. Burrows moved to reconsider and Mr. Fitch moved to lay that motion on the table. Mr. Fitch's motion was carried. Under the rule, thirty minutes was then allowed for debate, and an exciting time followed. ExSpeaker Reed first took the floor and said: "It is impossible to Imitate on this occasion the majestic tread of the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Bynum). his fine figure bristling with passion as he stalked down the aisle shaking his fist, or to equal the choice epithets used by the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Breckinridge), when the democratic chorus was making the air vocal four years ag'. (Applause.) Heside. we are restrained on this side of the chamber from making a similar exhibition of ourselves, because we are too well bred." (Ironical jeers from the democratic side.) Mr. (Patchings replied. Mr. Burrows, who had reserved the motion to adjourn which the speaker was willing to entertain until the last, then made that motion. It was lost 179 to 73. The vote then , recurred on the adoption of the report of the committee on rules and It carried 176 to 91. Prolonged . applause followed the announcement of the vote. The fight was over. The democrats had been victorious after their five days struggle. Silently the republicans watched the committees make their reports to the house, including the report on the Tucker bill. The committee on president, vice-president and the election of members of congress also presented a resolution asking the committee on rules to make a special order for the consideration of the bill. Then, with a sigh of relief, the house adjourned.

THE FIGHT IX THK SEX ATE. Some Decisive Action Expected to Be Taken Tbl a Week. BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL. WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 20. There appeared to be a general expectation when the senate met this morning that something was going to happen and developments were awaited with interest. The proceedings, however, began without Incident and there was some disappointment on the part of spectators. This grew out of a lack of knowledge on the part of the public as to the method of procedure. The suggestion made by Mr. Voorhees yesterday that he hoped to get the support of a majority of the senate to prolong the sessions of the senate did not Imply any fight this morning over a motion for longer sessions, for the reason that no motion to that purpose is necessary. The only thing necessary to prolong the sessions is to hold a quorum and to vote down motions to adjourn. Therefore there was nothing at the beginning of the day's work to Indicate that the fight for a vote was on. Mr. George began his peech at an early hour In the day, ajid things were as they have been for many days past, as far as outward appearances ere to be taken for It. The ficht Is on. however, and It Is expected that this week will develop whether or not the Voorhees bill can ever be passed without an amendment. It was expected by the repeal men that they would be able to secure a longer session than usual today and they succeeded, but they did not start out. with the purpose of having a continuous session. The Idea was to sit until 6 or 7 o'clock today and then tomorrow to have a still longer session, and the next day longer, and finally to run Into a continuous session. If the bill can be passed It is expected that this will be demonstrated by Saturday, and if no progress toward a vote Is niade by that time. It Is said that it will be regarded as evident that nothing can be done, except through, compromise, and the expectation is that Hood's5 Cures Mr. C. II. Sterner It Can't Do Doaten.

ABOVE EVER T THISO ELSE, Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery purifies the blood.

.By this means. It reaches, builds up, and invigorates very part of the system. ror every blood-taint and 'disorder, and for every dis ease that comes from an inactive liver or impure blood, it is the only remedy so sure, and effective that it can bs guaranteed. If it fails to benefit or curs, yon have your money back. These diseases are many. They Ye different in form, but they're like in treatment. House up the torpid liver into healthful action, thoroughly purify and enrich the blood, and there's a positive cure. The "Discovery"" does this, as nothing else can. Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Biliousness; all Bronchial, Throat, and Lung Affections ; every form of Scrofula, even Consumption (or Lung-scrofula) in its earlier stagen ; and tbe most stubborn Skin and Scalp Diseases, are completely cn 1 by it. In that event there will be either a compromise adopted or the whole matter will be side-tracked. According to the count of the repeal men, the silver men have about eighteen senators who will filibuster as long as necessary to defeat unconditional repeal. Operating under JJie time-honored practice of the senate, this la a very strong force for a filibuster. A number of the repeal men feel that there is a very slim chance of getting a vote by lengthening the sessions, but to make the effort Is the only way to test It. If It Is shown beyond question that a vote for unconditional repeal cannot be had. some of the repeal men will be willing to try a compromise, but the most determined among them say that they will not talk compromise until they have made the effort to get a vote without it and have failed. It looks as if they might expect to find themselves In about the same situation at the close of the session on Saturday as they are in today. CARELESS MINE FOREMAN REPOXIHLF3 FOR A FATAL EXPI.OSIOX XEAR 1VILKESHAUKE. Five Men Killed and Sit Others Injured t'nert a Naked Lamp Which Caused the Terrible Disaster The Victim of the Casualty. XVILKRSBARRK. Pa.. Sept. 21. By the carelessness of a mine foreman an explosion of gas was caused in a Plymouth mine this afternoon, in which five men were killed and six injured. Th dead are: D. M. JONES, aged fifty-two, rock contractor, married. WILLIAM JONES, aged forty-five years, rock man, married. JOHN FLANNIGAN, aged forty-five, mason, married. "WILLIAM P. JONES, aged fifty-five, mason, married. JOSHUA LIGHTLY, aged fifty-five, assistant mining boss, married. The three first-named lived in Wllkesbarre and the two others at Plymouth. All had large families. The injured are: O. L. Evans. Thomas Williams. James Morgan. Joseph Cummins, D. B. Davis. C. L. Williams. All were seriously hurt, but will recover. The accident occurred In the Lance No. 11, colliery of the Lehigh Wilkesbarre coal company at Plymouth, two miles from this city, at 2:03 this afternoon and was one of the most peculiar ever known In the anthracite regions. Two masons, Flannlgan and Jones, were building a high stone wall at one end of the one-thousand-foot gangway in order to reverse the air current. D. W. Jones and William Jones, two rock contractors, were superintending the timbering of an air shaft sixty feet deep, which was being sunk from the gangway to workings below. While these men were at work Assistant Mine Foreman Llghly descended the main shaft to Inspect the works. He had a naked lamp In his cap and passed along the gangway and down an inner slope on his way to the main, or cooper gangway. He had not entered this more than twenty yards when his naked lamp Ignited the gas and a terrific explosion occurred. The force of the explosion swept everything before It and was so great that the rush of air passing elong the gangway tore down the high walls the masons were building, crushing Flannlgan and Owen Jones to death. At the same time the workmen In the shaft were struck down by a mass of rock and timbers, shaken from the sides by the force of the blast D. M. Jones and William Jones were both instantly killed and many of the rock men and laborers at work with them sustained more or less severe Injuries. Foreman Llghly's body was hurled from side to side of 'the passage and burned and charred beyond recognition. The concussion was felt through the entire mine and a rescuing party, which was quickly organized, entered the workings. The effects of the explosion were everywhere apparent, rocks were torn up, ties twisted and cars shattered to kindling wood. The unfortunates were found un-ter the dtbrls and were taken at once to the surface, where the injured were cared for. Llghly haa been foreman for fifteen years and knew that the gangway was full of gas. The officials express surprise at his entering It with a naked light. TRll'LK TRAUEOY IX I.UXUOX. Row Over a Bullet Girl Leads to the Crime. LONDON, Sept. 20. A sensational tragedy has occurred In this city, the result of which was the death of three persons, one of them a woman. The other two were men supposed to be rivals for the friendship of the woman, but this is mere conjecture, as all three died almost Instantly. Ualsy Montague, a ballet girl who has been employed at the Empire, left the theater at 1 o'clock this morning for home. She was Joined by a man and when near King's Cross the pair were stopped by a second man. What passed between the three Is not known. They talked In loud and angry tones and attracted the attention of passers-by. Suddenly one of the men pulled a revolver and shot the woman, killing her almost instantly. He then shot the other man dead and afterward turned the weapon upon himself. When the police arrived they found three dead bodies. . Never fal! to cure sick headache after the very first dose.

MR.TURPIE SPEAKS

The Indiana Senator Not in Favor of Cloture And Attacks the Resolution of Mr. Piatt. THE SENATE DELIBERATIVE And Ho Believes It Ought to Continue So. The Southern Senators Also Against Any Change. Thfr Are Loth to Forare the Valac of Free Deabte During the Season Immediately Preceding; the Death of the Force Bill Mr. Voorheea'a Action In Regard to the "Repeal mil Meet with Commendation by the Friends of the Measure. BUREAU OF THE FENTINEL, WASHINGTON. D. C, Sept. 23. The action of Senator Voorhees in practically conceding another week for debate on the silver repeal bill Is criticised bv some of the republicans on the ground that he ought to push matters more rapidly to a conclusion. Democratic senators who favor repeal declare, however, that he is adopting Just the right course to deprive the filibusterers from the mining states of the sympathy of the country and of their associates In both parties. Senator Voorhees does not intend to permit filibustering if he can avoid It when it is openly adopted to defeat the repeal bill, but In order to bring it quickly to an end be Intends to keep his hands clean of the charge of unduly forcing matters and of depriving senators of reasonable freedom of debate. By this course he is likely to get the support of every senator who respects the traditions of the senate for a vote after reasonable debate Is exhausted, and It Is the only way in which he could get their support and reduce the filibusterers to an impotent half-dozen. Nobodv seems to believe that anything practical will be done with Senator riatt's cloture amendment. The older senators do not like the Idea of formally putting such a thing into the rules, however they may be willing to act In given1 emergencies. Whether the republicans as a body would now vote for cloture In the senate Is In some doubt. The mass of them had been brought up to the point by considerable coaxing when the force bill was under consideration, but even at that time Senator Edmurds of Vermont and several others showed signs of revolt which caused the leaders great uneasiness. The silver senators were opposed to cloture and are likely to oppose It now. The mass of the democratic senators from the South who remember how valuable the freedom of debate was to them in that ciisis are also opposed to cloture without much regard to their position on silver repeal. If the republican senators intend to fight the repeal of the election laws to the death they would oppose cloture at this time. . To ArrnlKn the Tref lent. The president of the United States will be arraigned in the United States senate next Monday for violating the spirit of the constitution in endeavoring to destroy the Independence of the law-making branch of the government by seeking to coerce congress Into the passage of the repeal bill. Notice to this effect was clearly Indicated In a resolution this morning presented by Senator Stewart of Nevada, upon which the senator announced that he would address the senate next Monday. MIX. TI RPIK ARAIXST CLOTIRR. Me Addmara the Senate In Opposition to the Meaare. The cloture resolution was taken up in the senate today and Mr. Turpie spoke aglnst Its adoption. He said that since 1S08 there had been but one way to bring about a vote in the senate and that was by "unanimous consent." Theoretically It might be said that under It one member of the body might, at any time, prevent a vote. But such a case had been very rare in the senate. It had been said that the senate was a voting body. He disclaimed that. It had been said that It was a debating body. This, he disclaimed with equal disfavor. It was a deliberative body, and the greatest deliberative body In the world. It was Impossible and Inconceivable that debate could cease or that a vote could ever be taken as long as there was a dissenting unit in the sentte, assisted by one-fifth of the number of senators, to ask for a roll-call. It would require a reconstruction of the entire body of laws of the senate and an amendment to the federal constltuTwo Women Speak For the benefit of others.

Cloture, declared Mr. Turpie, would not diminish the real power of ths minority. Members of the senate, subjected to force and duress, come back no longer in the minority, but in the majority; A vote by force was not a vote; a vote by compulsion was not a free act. and yet the first definition of a vote was volition, the expression of will. The very highest functions in a free government were not compulsory, and could not be made so. In the present condition there was no reason for the adoption of the cloture or for the invocation of what may be called constitutional obstruction. This was not the last congress, and the people had ample remedy for the error of a majority. If tuh should be the case. Tiiere was no condition which Justified extremes upon either sido. The proper procedure was the adoption of a middle ground upon which the .najority and minority could meet. That would be accomplished and would be found competent of accomplishment witn a great deal more ease than the establishment of cloture. Mr. Vilas, referring to a statement of Mr. Turpie that the only rule in the constitution governing the senate was that providing that on the demand of one-fifth the roll should be called, said there was another rule In the constitution applicable to the two houses that either house might, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member. He asked whether Mr. Turpie ';d not regard tho?e two provisions as somewhat antagonistic and contradictors. Mr. Turpie did not regnrd the two provisions at conflict with each other. Mr. Dubois of Idaho wipposed any change of the rules in the midst of an exciting debate. Mr. Call of Florida regarded cloture as a proposition to forbid debate, and opposed It. On motion of Mr. Voorhees the senate at 1:15 o'clock went Into executive session and at 4 o'clock adjourned until Monday. MR. RRFTZ'S SEXSATIOX. The Ilonse Treated to an Opera Comlnue by the Indiana Representative. A scene from a comic opera could not have been more intensely amusing than the scene upon which the house curtain rose today. It migrht have been entitled "A Leaf From Indiana Politics," the plot uncovfring the trials and tribulations attending the efforts of congressmen to secure the decapitation of objectionable fourth-das? postmasters. Mr. Kretz of Indiana was the aggrieved person and Fourth .Assistant PostmasterGeneral Maxwell the object of his indignation. ltising to a question of personal privilege he explained that soon after the inauguration he had filed charges against James Hansenour, the postmaster at CeU'sline, Ind., on the ground of incompetency, in proof of this charge he sent to the clerk's desk and had read the letter which he had filed with the charges. The letter was written by Hansenour soon after the republicans came into power In 1S?0 and furnished a model illustration of the acrobatic alacrity with which some fourth-class postmasters can turn their political coats with changes of administration, wa written in English, but hung closely to German Idioms, and the clerk who entered heartily into the spirit of the affair, read the letter in dialect to the great amusement of the house. In the letter the writer pledged himself to the cause of republicanism. Mr. Kretz said that the fourth assistant postmastergeneral had refused to act on this letter. The house could not exactly see where the question of privilege came In and Mr. Burrows called the speaker's attention to the fact. "Oh, let him go on," protested Mr. Cannon of Illinois. "He may be preparing to bring Impeachment proceedings against Mr. Maxwell." Mr. Bretz replied that he was coming to the question of privilege and thereupon presented another letter, that was read, addressed to himself on Sept. 15 by Hansenour in which a bribe of $15 was offered by the writer If Mr. Bretz would permit him to continue to hold the office. "The choice extract of this letter wa as follows: "I change som In poladlks four years ago was a big intress to me, although I never toock no pard In the campaine. Blenty heare wants the office to stay wld me. Tha say that I tended it all right. Also I am proud of lt. I will make you a presend of 115 if you will let me keep the oinee." Mr. Bretz's cheeks flamed and his eye flashed as he denounced this attempt to bribe a public officer. The members laid back convulsed with laughter as Mr. Bretz delivered his phiiliplc and some Irrevocable lriughing suggested that the letter was not large enough. At the conclusion of his speech Mr. Bretz offered a resolution for an appointment of three to ascertain why this corrupt official had not been dismissed. The speaker, of course, ruled that the matter did not present a question of privilege and reluctantly Mr. Bretz permitted It to be referred und?r the rule to the pigeon holes of the postoffice committee. Some unimportant reports to the house followed and then Mr. Talbert of Maryland called up. the bill remitting $34,000 In penalties to the builders of the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius. It went over without action. The house then proceeded to the consideration of the printing bill. Louisville and Omaha were added to the list of cities where proposals for furnishing paper are to be advertised for. Messrs. Doolittle of Washington and Herman of Oregon wanted some of this patronage for their districts, but after a sarcastic speech by Mr. Williams of Mississippi, In favor of Including the village of Buckatawna, Miss., the house applied the brakes and the Pacific coast was shut out. This angered Mr. Doolittle of Washington, who succeeded in having Kverett. Wash., added to the list. This re-opened the matter again, and In a spirit -of fun Mr. Cummlngs of New Yck proposed Medicine Lodge, Kas., In the interest of art, literature and science. He said It was 4he home of the most remarkable statesman of the age (Jerry Simpson.) Jerry gave a glowing description of Medicine Lodge, the future great metropolis. Mr. Btll of Colorado wanted Denver added to the list, and strange to say, got It. Pending further action on the bill the house adjourned. A bill was presented In the house today by Representative Boatner of Louisiana, which makes provision for the

coinage of dollars of the weight of ZV grains of standard silver. It provides that not more than one hundred millions shall be coined In any ne fiscal year, and that the coinage shall cease when the total coinage reaches $1,000.000,000.

MR, IIAIITER AXD TARIFF. Although a Manufacturer He Favors Only Revenue Taxation. Representative Harter cf Ohio, who was prevented from appearing before the ways and means committee to argue In favor of placing agricultural implements and flour on the free list, has submitted a brief to the committee covering the statement which he Intended to make. Mr. Harter Is himself a manufacturer of argriculturai lmplementa. The present duty on agricultural implements, he says, is 45 per cent., while the labor cost Is only 20 per cent., and the wage paid for labor in the countries which compete are about 70 per cent, of thoso paid here. On this showing a revenue duty of 10 per cent, would protect the American manufacturer. Mr. Harter declares, however, that no protection ought to be given as agricultural Implements are produced in the United States cheaper than in foreign countries and the American goods control tho trade. He says that a small tariff duty ought to be continued perhaps, looking not to protectlun, but to revenue. With regard to wheat flour, the duty at present Is 25 per cent. Wages do not constitute more than 5 per cent, of this cost. A duty of 2 per cent, tariff instead of the present rate of 25 per cent, would be ample. As a manufacturer of agricultural Implements for twenty-five years and of flour for nearly twenty years Mr. Harter therefore asks that both flour and agricultural Implements be placed on the free list. HAS BEEN MISREPRESENTED SECRETARY HOKE SMITH'S POSITION COXCEHM(i PENSIONS. Refers to Cases In Whlrh lie Points (Hit the Facts to Maintain His Position Ills Reference to ( 'omni Issloner Lnrhrrn' Heeent Pension Order. WASHINGTON. D. C, Sept, 2. Secretary Hoke Smith has made a statement regarding his position upon the pension question. He says that he has often been grossly misrepresented In this matter, and held responsible for acts about which he knew nothing until they had been committed. The secretary takes as his text the decision rendered in the pension case of Charles T. Bennett, a private in company F. Thirteenth Indiana volunteers, which was the bafis upon which an Important order was issued, and about which so much has been said. Mr. Smith also says that it is wrong to suppose he is a common enemy to pensions. He actually and conscientiously believes that there have crept upon the pension rolls, through one avenue or another, by various rulings cf pension commissioners and the work of examiners and other officers of the pension bureau, an enormous number of persons who were not entitlM to pensions. "Thes are the ones I am after," declared the secretary. "And they are the ones we intend to weed out of the pension list If they reduce the total number of pensioners one-half." Referring to the order of Commissioner Lochrcn, directing that all pensioners whose claims were not good upon the presentation made, should be dropped from the rolls for a period of sixty days, when they must make their claims good or suffer permanent suspension. Secretary Smith iays that this action was taken when he was absent from Washington and that it did not meet his approval. He believed that whether there was authority or not, a pensioner after being onr-e placed upon the rolls should have notice before being dropped. Mr. Smith states that his original Idea in having the list of "suspects" prepared was to have stricken from the rolls those who had failed to present prima facie evidence that they were entitled to pensions. He believes that investigation into all of these cases would lead to the discovery of much fraud and that fully half of those who have not made prima facie cases will fail in their efforts to chow that they were entitled to pensions. Many of those who, being notified that they inut furnish new evidence, had so little to stand upon that they v.-ould make no effort whatever. The secretary snys it is a great mistake to suppose that he intends to decrease pension expenditures by depriving those who were entitled to pensions under the law of their just rewards. He says that he is not opposed to pensions. Referring to the fact that ouite a number of pensioners who were dropped from the rolls were being reinstated, the secretary says that all of them had furnished the required evidence and had filled in the links breaking the chain to their cases. A SHOCK TO ST. PAIL. By the News of J. II. Harwell's Crooked Financial Transactions. ST. PAUL, Sept. 22. Business and social circles were shocked last evening upon learning that Jules H. Burwell. vice-president, treasurer and general manager of the Mast. Buford & Burwell carriage company, was charged with the misappropriation of $50,000 of the funds of the firm.

The firm was forced into assignment on Monday by the financial methods of Mr. Burwell, Victor Robinson being selected as assignee. The complaint charges that Burwell has bet-n a member of the firm for eiht years at a salary of $3,0oo a year, and as treasurer has at all times had access to the funds of the firm. It states that Burwell. instead of taking the J5.000 which was his rightful duo annually, appropriated to his own use sums far in excess of the amount stipulated. Of the amount wrongfully taken $4,000 Is charged to have been taken In money and the remainder in carriages and other merchandise. Among the items given Is one of J9.000, which General Manager Burwell is alleged to have taken for the purpose of erecting a fine residence at 103 Summlt-ave. The firm of Mast. Buford & Burwell therefore asks judgment against Jules H. Burwell for the sum of $f)0.C0O. The leading capitalist of the firm is P. P. Mast of Springfield. O. Mr. Buford Is a resident of Mollne. 111.

ANSWERS MISS POLLARD.

COL. BRECKIXRIDOrrs DEFE.XrD If THE FA.MOIS CASE. A Denial of Anything Improper In Ills Relations with Ihe Plaintiff As Extended Statement The Case Xot Likely to Be Tried This Year. WASHINGTON. Sept. 21 Another step had been taken in the BrecklnridgePollard cae. Congressman W. C Jr Breckinridge this afternoon filed his answer to the declaration made by Mlq Madeline V. Pollard in her suit for $50,000 for breach of promise. Mr. Breckinridge denies the first count of Miss Pollard's declaration, which Ftates that he promised marriage to her in August. 1S92. The second count, declaring that the congressman made a eecend proposition of marriage on May 17. 183, is also denied. The answer to the third count is given with emphasis as follows: For plea to the third count of the declaration, the defendant says he never promised, as alleged in the said third count of said declaration; that in the spring of 1SS4 the defendant being on the train from Lexington to Frankfort, was accosted by a young woman between twenty and twenty-two years of age who introduced herself to him as Miss Madeline Breckinridge Pollard, saying that her father was such an admirer of John C. Breckinridge that he named her after said Breckinridge: that subsequently the defendant received a letter from the plaintiff, saying that she was In great distress and desiring his legal advice and asking him to see her at Wesleyan colle:3 in Cincinnati, which the defendant answered was inconvenient, upon which she notified him that the matter about which she was distressed was an engagement to marry, which had assumed a condition worse than a divorce suit, and reiterating her request to see him personally; that the di-R-ndant did see tho plaintiff at said college and she gave him a full recital of her relations with one Jarnos C. Kodes; that thereupon the defendant advised her to consummate the contract between her and said liode by marriage, and subsequently after a, full conversation wph the paid Rodcs. the defendant renewed his advice, and the defendant denies that h then cr at any other time or place by wiles or artifices and protestations of affection or by any other means sttcmr.ted to tak advantage of the youth and inexperience of the plaintiff. He d-nies that he then or at any oiher time seduced the plaintiff, and he denies that the plaintiff was at any time pregnant by the defendant, r that he at any time prevented her from goinr. ahrop.d or from entcrinar upon any career that the plaintiff desired to eimr upon or that it was through any protestations, inhufnee or request of the defendant that the plaintiff failed either to go abroad or to enter upon any career she desired, and he denies that there was at any time any agreement, contract or understai.ding of marriage b-ween the plaintiff and the defendant, and the plaintiff knew during her entii acquaintance with the defendant that a marriage between the plaintiff and the defendant was impossible. The intimation yesterday that the plea of Congressman Breckinridge in answer to 'the suit of Miss Pollard would be that of the general Issue, which means a simple denial of the alleged promise, or contract, carr.e from a source which left no doubt as to such a course being that determined upon. Hence, thft extended answer or ilea to the third count of Miss Pollard s declaration was, a. matter of no little surprise today to those cognizant of the situation yesterday. There is little prospect that the ca.e will be tried this year. To Pay Off Its Debts. MEMPHIS. Sept. 22. Today there was filed a trust deed on the AppealAvalanche newspaper with the Hon. B. J.
