During the year 24,715 claims for increase of pensions and 81,990 for additional pension under the act of June 27, 1890, were allowed. In the same time 115,221 claims for pension and for increase were rejected. Cluims pending consideration July ‘7 npume: bered 711,150. The amount of money paid for pensions during the year was | $156,740,467, .and the balance at the close of the year was $2,437,371. i Appropriations for the next fiscal | year, - Commissioner Lochren states, | will be ample, and the estimates for ! the fiscal year 1805 amount to 8162, ; 681,500, as follows; : | FOr DENBION, 4o} o 0 ouiiveid ssie sase oees §160,000,000 !

“It 3 perfectly ciear that under this order ! 164, in granting peusions under the act of June ' 27, 189); ‘the act itself was ‘set sside and disre. ! garded, with the result of granting pensions not ! authorized by any law, " f 1

At this rate it is estimated that practically all of those heretofore suspended will be disposed of by October 10. Itis alsg estimated that at least 75 per cent. of those suspended will be retained on therolls, though net all of them at their . old rates of pension. - s )

In regard to the temporary suspension of order 164 he says: B

“In cases: where it was believed that a pension could not be sustained uand apother medical examination was ibought necessary the payment of the pepsion was ordered 1o Db¢ suspended pending investigation, according .to the . ’practice of the bureau from the beginning: and at the proper time the usual sixtye day notice was given to the pensioner, withs in which he could ask for a medical exams ination or suppiy further evidence of his right to his pension. This practice of the bureaw, always followed, is the correct practice. It is not the wilihdrawal .or taking away of a vension, but the temns porary withholding of its payment where it appears. to be unlauwful, pending a proper inquiry. Upon your suggestion that even®this temporary wiithholding might work hardsrip where, upon the face of the papers, it appears that the pe‘)iaioner is entitled w 0 at least some less rating, the practice has been modified and changed as to the cases under this act so far that suspensions of payroent pending the sixty days are only ordered when on the face of the papers it appears prima fucie that the pensioner is not entitle’d to any pension. The sixty day notice in suspendinz pensicners was not. for the purpose of withdrawing a pension, but temporarily withholuing it, where it appears to be unlawful, pending inguiry. Spe¢ial examiners are now investigating wholesale frauds in New Mexi¢o and lowa. ¢

The commissioner recommends a codification of pension laws,with a few changes; that promotions be made with regard to merit alone, and in utter disregard of influence; and the repeal of the act of congress providing that no fension -shall be paid to a nonsresident who is not a. citizen of the United States, except for actual disabilities incurred in the service, Commissioner Lochren concludes as fols lows: ‘I recognize to the fullest extent that my sole duty is to execute and administer the laws as they are cnacted, fairly and honestly interpreted.”

; THE SILVER DEBATE. Synopsis of the Discussion in the United ¥ States Senate. : * On the 16th Mr. ?Alhson (rep., la.) spoke in favor of repeal of -the silver purchasing clause of the Sherman law. - He made the point that for sixteen. years, up to 1892, no political party had gone before the people favoring the free coinage of silver or the destruction of gold as the measurée of valhe. The law of 1890 was a temporary law. It was an experimental law also, in one sense. Nobody believed at the. time that it would stand long upon our statute books. It is just .as plain as the noon-day sun that- if we. go ou purchasing silver and putting it in the treasury as bullion, it.is only & question of a 8 few months (ora few years at most) when we will fail to redeem our obligations in gold; and then we will be at a silver standard. He eontinued: : 5

s'lwant to repeat my belief now, that all his. tory discloses the fact that when you make even g small divergence ¢between the ‘established ratio and the true commercial ratio, the resuit is disastrous. . I undertake to say that it is utterlv impossible for us to deal with this question of ratio at this time. The ratio of 2) to 1 would be an’ increass of ratio because we have known the price of silver to change by 20 per cent. in a single day. The moment the action of the India counofl wos knowp silver went dGown 20 per cent. 24 the naxt W@g‘: it went up 15 per cent. How, then, can we make 'a ratio that will measure the value of all debts and all credits on the basis of the bullion value of silver? The situation in India has c¢hanged the situation here. We are tryiag now to keep up the price of - a thing that wil go down helaw the cost of productlon, whatever that may be. “1f we continue the silver purchases we ‘uphold the British policy in India. The inevitable effeCt of what we are doing here is 'eidhexj to uphold or to destroy or Lfpalr the ability of lingland to maintain {ts policy in -India. llf we ¢ease 1o purcbase silver it will be imposBllie, in my opinion, for England to carry out that policy and it will become an utter fdilure.

“If this government will undertake the poliey of an international agreement between -gile ver end gold I believe that that policy will be accomplished, that within a brief period we wlll be able to restore the partty bhetween the metals and practically to rehabilitate silver My belief i that I we are to have an interng. tional agreement we must make it appear to the nations of the world that we ourselves do net mean tg fake care of silver, " .

Cn the Yhh 2 lengthy discussion was had on a proposition by Mr. Voorhees for' a set time wkhken 2 voie should be taken on the repeal bill. Mr. Voorhees gave notice that he would ask the senate to remain longer in daily session, perhaps at night. Mr. Mills (dém., Tex.) thenspoke, advocating repeal. The Sherman law was an unwise law and as such should be repealcd. It had been said in this debdte that (according to the president) we stood face to face with bimetallism against a.single gold standard. Thot atatement was not accurate. The president had hot made the issue. The focts had nwde the issue; and it was for congress to determine between -bimetellism on -the one side and & single silver standard on tke other. The president had heen- gharged with baving deserted the democratic platform. The-president stood squarely with both feet on the platform of the party that had elected him and was ready to execute the pledges which his party had made to the people. - The men who were attacking the president were the men who were off the platform. There was & demand in the country for the repeal of the Sherman law—for its unconditional repeal The democratic party had arraigned the Sherman law as an unwise law and declared that it should be repealed The democrats were pledged to revise the MtKinley act. Was the senote to svait before it repealed the Sherman act until the house of representatives acted upon the tariff? It was said that Arizona and New Bexicoshould be admitted as states. Was the senate to wait until this was done before it relieved the distress of the people?

Mr. Mills thén procceded to argue that bimetallism e’ould_uot exist when inftrinsic value and money value were not precisely the same. 1f they were not the same, how could they be made the same, except by international agreement? He wag in favor of -the froe and unlirmited coinage of gold and siiver, but free and unlimited = eccinege ' must result in bimetallism. And bimetallism would not be the result of the TWnited States alone of all nations of the earth opening her mints to. coinage. In conclusion, Mr. Mills said. he was going to vote for the repeal, and he would vote against very amendiient to it that human ingzenuity could suggest. e cpuld not conceive of any amendment that could bo offered that would not immpeazh the integrity of the president, and would vote agzainst every onc.

Mpr. Stewart. (rep., Nev.) protesied against any closure proposition. If the gilver men ewent down they would go down protesting.

On the 20th the senate remained in continuoug session six hours and a half, the longest session since the repesl bill was taken up. Mr, George (bMiss.; addressed the senate in opposition to repeal. Heread his reémarks to aslim audience and several times roll had to he/ called to develop the presence of a quorum! Mr. Gray (®el.) spoke in advocacy of the repeal bill. . :

On the 2ist Senator Platt (rep., Conn.) offered an amendment to the senate rules providing for closure. He said the rules of the. senate, as of every legislative body, ought to facilitate the. transaction of business, while as a matter of fact it could not be denied that they made it impossible to transact : business. When' the necessity and propriety of a change of rules so 2s to reasonably facilitate the transaction of business was brought to the attention of the senate, it was the best plan to enter upon that work. He knew it-would be said that in the present condition of affairs in the senate such a rute could not be adopied, but he. bee lieved it could be adopted by a vots just as easily and quickly as the repeal bill could be passed. . While he had not consulted genators upon the republican side, he thought a large number on that side favored the adoption of that rule. Senator White (dem., La.) then spoke on the repeal bill, claiming that there were other causes for the financial panic be sides the Sherman act '

‘On the 22d Senator Allen (pep., Neb.) introduced a bill making the dollar (which may be coined of 41214 grains of silver or 25 8-10 grains of gold) the unit of value. The bill also repeals the Sherman act. and provides that owners of silver-bullion may deposit in the mint, and such silver,“less 20 per cent. (to be deducted for seignorage and coined into silver dollars and putin the treasury), shall be ceined into standard dollars for his benefit.

- The resolution of Senator Platt (rep.,, Conn.) for closure rule in the senate was then taken up, and Senator Wolcott (rep., Col.} addressed the scnate. Although he said that he would vote against the resolution ke declared that no motim%s opposition wouid be made to it, and that a vote upon it could be reached much sooner than a vote upcn the repeal bill could be. If the senate desired a vote ‘on the closure regolution it could bave it without much debate. He would not interpose the slightest objection. If there was a failure to press it to a vote then eriticism on the senators opposing the repeal bill would have to cease. The debate on the repeal bill coulQ be stifled by the closure rule, but it could not be stifiled otherwise.

Senator Teller (rep., Col) declared that he would resist by every method, obstructive and otherwise, the adoption of a rule in the senate which would limit or restrict debate.

DEATH ON A SIDING. S Braken;m‘n Unaccountably Throws a Swiich at the Wrong Time, Allowing a Wg.haah flgx'press‘ Train to Crash Into a Freignt at Kingsbury, Ind.—Eleven Per. sons Killed and Many Injured. ’ KingsßUßY, Ind., | Sept. 23.—Every house in the town is either a morgue or a hospital. Two trains came together on the Wabash siding just after daybreak Friday. The freight train, with tweaty-two loaded cars, stood on the side track and was headed east. For more than "an hour it had waited for the sdcond section of the No. 55 passenger train, west bound. . All the pass nger trains have been going in sections because of the heavy world’s fair traffic. After the first section went by at 4:40 o’clock all the trainmen knew thatanother section was coming. Herbert Thompson was head brakeman. It|was his work to look after the east) switch. No man can tell why Thompson went and turned the switch affer the first train had passed. It was| the act of a crazy man—so say the ra,il{'oad men. But he did it. Thompson |cannot tell, for no one has seen him since the dead and dying were thrown high in the pir with the shattered fragmeénts. Thompson ran away. Some| one saw him an hour later sitting on 'the iron bridge in the deep timber country to the east. e ha% his head between his hands and was |looking down into the water: The seepnd section came at 5:40, The switch fvas open, but the. signals did not say .‘4O. The trains met. In one instant of crash and explosicn two engines and three coaches were heaped in a mountain of splinters. There followed all|the scenes of blood and suffering kI‘IOVVD to railroad wrecks, ; Those killed are gs follows: = -

The boiler of the passenger engine exploded and hurled debris in every direction. A ])utr of trucks - were torn apart and each half sent flying in oppodite directions. One of the ;’;1’6&1 pieces: of iron was hurled, several hundred yards away, where 1t ecrasued through a farmer’s barn. Its t:mte was thrown clear across a 20-acre field on the south side of the track. The steam escaped, scalding the injured who were not able to crawl to a place|of safety. ) When the two| trains came together the heavy fl’ei,Q;L.lt train crusbed. the passenger by its tremendous weight. ‘The . cars in front were filled with dressed beef. | Two of these ecars were dmn(:i}s:he‘d and the beef carcasses were thrown among thae human ‘oadics.] The two engines telescoped so completely that they seemed like one| shattered locomotive with twelve drivhug‘ wheels. The two forward day coaghes plunged forward and broke all to pieces, The third day coach, by some| strange chance, was swing ¢ sidewise. The rear truck was thfown high into the air and alighted i a pasture 200 feet from the tracks. This third car, lying across the rails at right angles, crushed in the frontof the first sleeper, killing the twq young women from Boston and burying a half dozen passengersunder pieces of wood and broken glass. The twg engines and the three cars were thus jammed together in hardly more than a car’s length.: ~Out from this Fangled mass of wreckage, through which clouds of steam were pouring, came the injured, while here and there could be seen the arm, leg or head of spme unfortunate cut of whom all life had been crushed. The first assistance came from those who escaped injury. |Within a half-hour the awakened townspeople came running to the scene. LBy 6 o'clock special trains bad arrived with surgeons from Ashley, Peru, Wolcottsville, North Liberty and Westville. The work of binding up wounds, recovering the dead and identifying the bodies: continued until late in the afternoon. - : The rai{_road lmen say that if it bad ‘not been for thb boiler explosion the loss of life would have been larger. e nui}'u Death.
