WAMHHWOK, July 6.—Taulbee. of Ken
tucky, called up the report from the com
mittee on invalid pension* upon the veto
message of the president on the bill grant
ing a pension to Carter W. Tiller. He dis
avowed any purpose to criticise the presi
dent in the exercise of his constitutional
right, or of the raising of any war on his
methods or style in the veto of pension
bills. He then proceeded to state the facts
in the case to Bhow that the president
was acting under a misapprehension
when he he based his views on the
ground that the claimant was not dependent
on his son and on whose account the pen
sion is claimed for a support. He also quot
ed from affidavits to show that while it was
true the son was borne on the rolls as a de
serter, he was at the time that charge was
made against him confined as a prisoner in
Andersonville prison. He admitted that
the president had acted honestly upon the
facts before him, but sinee the veto addi
tional facts had come to light showing
young Tiller’s hospital records at Ander
sonville.
Warner, of Missouri, inquired whether
those additional records had not been ac
cessible to the president.
Taulbee replied that the records were
accessible to anybody who would take the
trouble to go to the war department and
search over the musty prison records of
the confederacy, but the president had
acted on the written statement of the ad
jutant-general that there was no such rec
ord found in his office. Subsequent, to the
veto the record was found, but the veto
could not be withdrawn.
Beach, of New York, suggested that it
would not be proper for the house to over
ride the veto on the strength of facts
which the president did not nave before
him at the time he withheld his approval
from the bill. The proper thing to do was
to introduce a new bill.
Matson moved that further consideration
of the matter be postponed until Friday
next, and for a few moments there was
much confusion in the hall, Matson and
Willis vainly endeavoring testate why they
desired a postponement and the republi
cans demanding immediate action. The i
motion to postpone was agreed to—yeas
117, nays 113.
The morning hour having been dispensed
with, the house went into committee of
tlie whole (Hammond in the chair' on the J
general deficiency ap Dropriation bill.
The end of the bill having been reached. |
the committee., in accordance with pre- '
vious arrangements, reverted to the para

Cannon offered an amendment appro

On motion of Belmont, the appropria- !

to (#37,145.
On .motion of BeUuont amendments were
adopted appropriating various small sums

service.
The committee then rose and reported
the bill to the house. The first vote was
taken on the amendment for the pay tin ri,

IVf Threaten to I ■ ter ft re.
Chicago, July 8.—The Illinois Humane
Society threatens to interfere with the hur
dle Taoee and steeple chases which are be
ing given at Washington park. “Frequent
complaint* which have come to us In re
gard to cruelty to racing hor***," said the
president to-day, “seem* to warrant our
Interference under the etdte law* for the
prevention of cruelty to animals. This
treatment of horses at Washington park
seems to be on the increase instead of
the decrease. In keeping with public senti
ment I am firmly of the opinion that
this specieB of racing must be stopped. 1
have already given instruction to two of
our officers to attend the coming exhibi
tion of this character, and where the facts
will justify it, arrest one or more of the
parties concerned and their vigorous pros
ecution will surely follow.”

and Mr. Miller, commissioner of internal
revenue, arrived in this city on th-3 late
train last night from Hot Sprirg , Va.
The secretary stood the long carriage drive
of twenty miles over the mountains and
the subsequent railroad trip without fa
tigue or inconvenience. The train bearing
the secretary and his party was boarded
near Culpeper by United States Treasurer
Jordan, who brought with him the latest
department news and a basket of choice
fiowers for the secretary. The train was
about an hour behind time in arriving.
The president, postmaster-general and Mrs.
| Vilas, assistant secretary and Mrs. Fair-
child, Private Secretary Lamont and a
l irumber of officials of the treasury depart-
1 ment were awaiting its arrival and boarded
the secretary’s car. Quite a reception fol-

Washington, July 4.—The Washington
Capital, a mugwump Sunday paper pub
lished hero and owned and run by a re
publican, presumes to be tne official
organ of the president, and the court
journal, as it were, of the white house.
Hon. W. E. Smith, the late
assistant ecretary of the treas

that Lc had resigned his position because
he could not afford to work for f-RJU) per

demo rat should hold office under a demo

Tne resignation of Mr. Smith was re
ceived with delight by mugwump papers
like the Capital, and they are now engaged
in circulating the story that the president
removed Mr. Smith from his position be
cause he dared to give places to a few
democrats. In this connection, the Capi
tal to-day has the following: ‘‘Among
treasury officials the belief is universal
that Assistant Secretary Smith’s resigna
tion was hastened by the expressed disap
proval of the president with his methods
in the department. The appointments
and removals in the department were un
reservedly in Mr, Smith’s hands since Mr.
Manning’s retirement. When Mr. Fair-
child was appealed to by the friends of
those dismissed, he absolutely re
fused even to hear complaints or
talk about restorations. He said that Mr.
Smith had been selected by the president
for his position, and Mr. Manning had

Washington, July 6.— Private dis
patches were received in this city to-night,
announcing the death at Mt. Pleasant,

j served in tbe union army through the
late, war, and at the close of the rebellion
was made district attorney for one of the
judicial districts of Iowa. Subsequently,
President Hayes appointed him United
States district attorney for the District
of Columbia, which position he
held until near the close of President Ar
thur's term, and since that time has been
engaged in the practice of law in this city.
He became widely known as the successful

health, and the news of his death caused
a great shock to his numerous lriends in

Appeal
New York, July 4.—George W. Smalley,
in his cable letter to the Tribune this
morning, says:
“The results of yesterday's pollings do-
not encourage hopes of a Gladstone ma
jority. Setting aside the unopposed re
turns, of which a great majority are con
servative, seventy-three members were re
turned. The Gladst.onians counted on con
siderable gains. They have gained live
seats a d lost six. They are in office,
but they cannot remain in office
merely by holding their own. They
have a majority of thirty to over
come. with another twenty to gain,
in order to insure a stable government.
Nobody ventures to predict where all these
gains are to come from. The conserva
tives and unionists avoid bragging, but are
confident that they can prevent the minis-
I on that score, so long as he remained only
■I an acting secretary. Those dissatisfied
j with Mr. Smith's action were obliged,
therefore, to bring influence to bear direct
ly on the president. For several weeks a
correspondenc e has been going on between
the president and representatives of the
j civil service reform sentiment in regard to
, removals in the treasury. At least one per

affairs, reported a substitute for this bill.

and the bill passed.
The senate then proceeded to consider
amendments tot/fce river ami harbor bill.
The first amendment that was questioned
was the item appropriating ifiSO.OOO for the
purchase of Sturgeon bay and Lake Michi
gan.ship ciinal.and harbor refuge.
Ingalls made the point of order. that the
paragraph w as new legislation. This was
not.a bill to buy the canal. It was general
legislation not connected w ith the bill.
The chair ovemaled the point of order,
holding that as the amendment was re
ported Dy the standing committee on com
merce, and in pursuance of an estimate of
the bund of the war department, it was in
ord*r.
Edmunds made the statement that this
was a commercial taansaetiou and had
nothing to do with the grand scope of this
bill which was for improving rivers and
harbors. It was, therefore, irrelevant.
The chair submitted the question of rel

was decided to be relevant and in order-

Little Rock, July 6.—Thursday last the
colored laborers on the Tate plantation,
nine miles below here, on the Arkansas
river, struck for an advance on the wages
generally paid the neighborhood. They
then by intimidation prevented others
from taking tlieir places. Sheriff Worthcr
was called on by the planters f'orlprote.t n
and went down early this morning. About
250 colored men assi inbied from neighbor
ing places and began making threats that
nobody should go to work or be arrested.
The sheriff' attempted to arrest Gill, the
ring leader,who resisted and was shot by a
deputv in both arms. During the after
noon a posse went down from Little Rock
heavily armed, when the sheriff succeeded
in dispersing the mob and averted what
threatened t>n prove a general uprising.
Gill, who was brought to jail, says he is a
knight of labor, and it is understood that
■all the strikers are knights, there being
three assemblies in that portion of the j
country. '

! bunk of Canada. Rogers also said that he
[ had been accompanied by Wm. Duncan,
Thomas Brown, and Captain Clendenning
to Rochester, where they had . gone on a
, schooner about a month ago, and procured
paper, ink. and brushes to make
| the bogus bills; that they had cruised
around the lake, for some time, and passed
I between #900 and *1000 in bogus hills. The
paper procured in Rochester, Rogers said,
i was equal to any bank note paper that
1 could tie got. He also stated that he made
the bogus bills by photographing the orig
inal ones, and that he had the process
“down so fine” that he could produce a
| bill which it was almost impossible to de-
| tect, having worked at the business in Aus
tria. 1-le could also change the numbers
on bills so that it would be difficult, to de-
:»-ct the alteration. Brown and Duncan
had the notes lit had made. He intended
to go to Ottawa, get a photographer’s gal
lery, and start the same business there.
Mr. Johnson agreed with Mr. Rogers to
' go into partnership with him. The latter
promised to supply the detective with bo
gus bills representing a large amount of
money. His pocket book was secured. It
, was found to contain counterfeit twenty-
dollar bills on the national Mohawk Valley
; bunk, of Mohaivk, N. Y. Duncan was ar-
, rested and made a full confession. He had
! a set of plates for making flfty-dollar bills
of the lower Canada bank, a set for twen
ty-dollar United States bills, three sets for
! ten-dollar bilb of the Merchants’
| bank and a set of Dominion of
Canada one-dollar bills. He said he
had destroyed the plates about ten days
previous. In a bedroom occupied by the
I accused found paints and brushes used in
making the bogus notes. In the house was
found an agreement dated “Lachine, Feb
ruary, 1S86,” and signed by a number of
persons pledging themselves by a solemn
oath not to divulge the seerets of the coun-
, terfeiting gang “under pain of death.”
Other arrests are expected in the course of
, a few hours.

the crowd suddenly drew their revolvers
and fired ilireetiy at the flag. Six bullets
went through it. Emile Nelson was hit in

tariff bill. Kelly moved to strike out till
but the administration features of the bill,
the “Hewitt provisions,” but this motion
was lost, although Hewitt voted with the
republicans. Reed and Hiscock were
absent. A motion was then made to re
port the entire bill adversely, anil upon
the roll being called all of the democrats
voted in the affirmative, carrying the mo
tion. The republican members abstained
from voting, on the ground that the bill
contained meritorious features along with
objectionable urovisions, which could not
be disassociated under the motion. Morri

bill, while the republicans will not make a
report.
The committee also authorized Bn cken-
