Spurious Clalum Amounting to 8100,000 Paid. The Pension Department believes that it has unearthed stupendous pension frauds. An attorney of Norfolk, Va., named W. R. Drewery, now under arrest, is charged with securing fraudulent pension claims by the wholesale, using as his instruments in many cases colored men and women who could not read or write. About twelve months ago Secretary Noble ordered three cases dropped from the pension rolls that Drewery had secured, and later on he was debarred from practice. When the present administration came into power a thorough invertigation was made into the cases that Drewery had secured, and, when it was concluded a few dayssince.it was discovered that about OS per cent, of tho esyses he had handled under the act of June 27, 100, was secured through the filing of false declarations. The importance of the discovery has necessitated prompt action, and A. D. Albert, supervising examiner for the southern distrjet. with several assistants, were immediately sent to Norfolk, where they are pursuing their investigations. They have learued that Drewery did a thriving business. In his office, occupying desk room, was a notary public named B. A. Richardson, Jr. When Richardson went out of the office Drewery used the notary's seal, attesting the false evidence which he had prepared and forwarding the papers to Washington. It is expected that the fraudulent pensioners will soon be dropped from the rolls and a serie of prosecutions commenced. Drewery was arrested about one year ago on the charge of securing fraudulent pensions, but owing, it is said, to laxness on the, part of the local authorities, escaped punishment. The amount will not be known until the special examiners make their report, but the arrears in considerable sums have been paid on many of the 166 fraudulent cases. The steals will probably aggregate $100,000. NEW FEDERAL GRANP JURY.

REPUBLICAN LEAGUES. Tho Sixth Annual Convention, at Louisville.

THE BUILDING ASSOCIATION LAW.

Some of the building associations have discovered that tho law passed by the last legislature, requiring reports, has no emergency clause, and they say it will not become in force unti! the middloof June after the law has been proclaimed by the governor. Tho law provides that it shall bo in force after April 1, and many reports have been made since that time, but this is, in the minds of attorneys, unquestionably invalid, although it would not vitiate the act. Some associations, it is said, will not make reports until they believe the law goes into effect. THE MARKETS. lKDrAAPOnt9. Miy n. ioi Quotations for Indianapolis wnen notspaoUed OU.UJf.

Republicans Greeted with Kentucky Hoipi tali ty Mi. Clarksou's Speech The Proceedings The sixth annual convention of tho Republican Leagues of the United States convened at Macaulays Theater, Louisville, Wednesday. The Republican national committee, tho American Republican College League, tho Women's Republican Association of the United States, and tho A inerican Protective Tariff League also held sessions an the same time. It was U o'clock when President Clarkson called the meeting to order. Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. I ley wood. Mrs. Ellen Foster appeared on the stage and was greeted with a storm of applause. Mayor Tyler welcomed the delegates and extended the freedom of tho city." Col. Crawford, President of the Kentucky State League, .welcomed tho visitors in behalf of the State. Col. Cow an presented President Clarkson with a gavel made' of nineteen different- kinds of wood, all grown in Kentucky. Thirtythree States responded as having delegations present on the roll-call. President Clarkson then delivered his annual address, from which we extract the following: MR. CLARRSON'S SPEECH. We meet here to-day in the name of the Republicanism of Lincoln, Grant and Maine. This is the Republicanism whose eternal word Is human liberty. It is fighting Republicanism, and all the world loves a man or party that believes enough in its own cause to light for it. As we begin nere to-day the march of victory in 1896, we have neither complaints nor apologies, nor explanations to make, for the defeat last year. We have had a Democratic President and a Democratic Congress sixty days, and Cleveland has hauled down the American Hag where Harrison e.nd the Republicans ran it up in the name of liberty on the Sandwich Islands. He and his Secretary of the Treasury have already frightened the business world, and created uneasiness and fear, where safety and prosperity ruled before. They have shown an adverse balance of foreign trade in the last four months of 180.000,000 as against a favorable balance of $70,000,000 in the nrst four months of Harrison's, administration. The negro of slavery days is Republican. Tho new negro, like the young white man, will make his own terms with the existing political parties. The South has already injured itself on this line more than it can recover in generations. In teaching its yotng people dishonesty in politics, it has been logically teaching them dishonesty in ;iil things. Of the millionsof immigrants who come to America all seem to know that political liberty in some States of the Soutn is for Democrats only. On the laboring men of Northern cities begins to fall the greater injury of the injustice toward the Southern negro. As to money and banking the country will depend on the Republican minority in Congress for defense from threatened harm. Ri-metallinm will, cf course, he maintained by Republicans and the sagacity of the Republican minority in Congress will doubtless provide, with the aid of conservative Democnts, some provision in substitution for the Sherman act which will preserve acontinaed parity in the value of coined gold and silver. Neither the extreme Eastern view, that would force this country to a gold basis, or the view that would moke money dearer and all other property cheaper, will solve the problem or save tnecountry. This is a silver-producing nation and our money should be of goid, silver and paper, every dollar of which should be as good as the other and & volume of safe money kept, and kept sufficient for the demands of our expanding nation." It took over an hour for Mr. Clarkson to finish his address, and at its conclusion he was loudly applauded. A resolution favoring Woman Suffrage was introduced by Dr. Henry BJackwell, of Boston, which was referred to committee on resolutions. At Thursday's session Wm. W. Tracy, of Springheld, 111., was elected President for the ensuing year. The foliowiug resolutions were adopted: THE KESOLVTIOXS. Wo, the representatives of the Republican League Clubs of the United States in national convention assembled, reaffirm our .belief in and devotion to the principles of the Republican party as enunciated by the National Republican Convention in 18i2. 4 We point with pride to the passage of a general law for the safety of tne life and limb of railway employes, upon recommendation of President Harrison, by a Republican Congress and in conformity with the expressed pledge of the National Republican Convention. We declare that we are in hearty sympathy with every legislative enactment which will promote tho interests of the wage-earners and tend to equalize conditions and harmoni the relations between labor and capital. We declare our faith in genuine 9ecret ballot laws, fortified by efficient acts for tho suppression of corrupt practices in

elections. We demand the suppression of all public gambling, whether in food products or by means of lottery tickets. We heartily urge an amendment to the constitution making the President ineligible to a second successive term. We recommend to the favorable consideration of the Republiaan clubs of the United Stntes as a matter of education, the question of granting to the women of the State and Nation the right to vote at all elections on the same terms and conditions as male citizens. The foreign policy of Benjamin Harrison and James (r. Blaine deserves the commendation of all Americans who believe in preserving the rights and d'gnity of the United States and in extending the scope of its influence. Whereas, The Democratic party, for the first time in thirty-two years, has succeeded to nower in both the executive and legislative departments of the Government, we now direct attention to the fact that it should either give ttie people a fair trial of the policies advocated in its national platform, or admit that it gained supremacy by gross misrepresentation and hypocrisy. Supplementary resolutions of sympathy were adopted on the deaths of James G. Blaine and R. B. Hayes. There was a heated discussion in the committee on the woman suffrage resolution. In the convention it was put to a vote and carried by 375 ayes to 185 nays. The convention adjourned to meet at Denver next May. REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE. At Wednesday's session of the Republican National Committee, Mr. Carter was formally re-elected Chairman. Mr. Scott, of West Virginia, offered a vesolution in, reference to the basis of representation. The resolution was the outcome of a feeling that the South, which could do nothing for the party, had too much influence in National conventions. Powell Clayton, of Arkansas, opposed the resolution in a vigorous speech. Mr. Payne, of Wiscon

sin, offered the following substitute t4 Scott's resolution: Resolved. That the basis tit representtion In the next Republican National con vention be fixed at four delegates at larg for each State and one additional delegftfcs for each seven thousand votes or majority fraction thereof cast in each State for tha Republican electoral ticket at the election of isw, and that each Territory and the District of Columbia be entitled to two delegates providet tnat no congressional districtsh&li have lsss than one delegate. This was just as warmly opposed by bm Southern member), and on a vote to tahi the vote stood: Yeas 9, nays U.
