Washington, D. C., June 21.—The
speaker laid before the house a com
munication from the acting secretary of
the treasury submitting an estimate appro
priation amounting to $628,714 for the
transportation of mails on non-subsidized
railroads controlled by the Central Pacific
railroad company. Referred.
On motion of Townshend, of Illinois, the
senate amendments to the pension appro
priation bill were non-concurred in. Town-
hbend, Wilson and Long were appointed
conferees.
The bouse having resumed consideration
of the naval appropriation bill, rejected
veas 99, nays 131) the motion made Satur
day by Goff, of West Virginia, to recommit
the bill with instructions to the committee
on naval affairs to report it back with an
amendment making provisions for the
completion of the double turretted moni
tors. The bill was passed.
At the conclusion of the call of states for
the introduction of bills and resolutions,on
motion of Randall, of Pennsylvania, the
house went into committee of tne whole on
the sundry civil bill. There was no gener
al debate on the measure, though it was
agreed that when clauses were readied rel
ative to public surveys the five minute rule
would not be held to apply. The bill was
then read by paragraphs for amendment,
and a number of changes made both of in
sertion and omission, chiefly affecting local
interests.
The paragraph relative to the bureau of
engraving and printing having been
reached, Dingley, of Maine, offered tin
amendment requiring the engraving of
notes of the denomination of ft and $2
and other denominations authorized by
law.
Randall raised the points of order against
the amendment, and in the course of Ids
argument took occasion to deny the
charge that the present administration
had waged war on the silver dollar.
The amendment was ruled out. and on
an appeal the decision of the chair was
sustained.
Warner, of Ohio, offered a similar amend
ment, which met with a similar fate.
Warner then attempted to evade the
point of order by modifying the amend
ment so as to authorize the issue of $1 and
ill notes in place of mutilated and cancelled
notes of a like denomination.
Randall raised tne point of order against
this amendment also, declaring I bat the
avowed object of the proposition was to
compel a different administration of the
law than was practiced at. present, and
therefore changed the existing law.
After some discussion the speaker over
ruled Randall’s point of order, a vote was
taken and the amendment was lost—75 to
Warner then offered an amendment of
similar purport, but pending action tilt
tn nil n it tea rose.
Zavli Taylor, of Tennessee, offered n res
olution reciting the fact that tin- lower
portion of the city of Memphis has been in
part destroyed by the caving of the bank
" the Mississippi river al (hut point, and
providing foi a loan to the properly au
thorized officers of the taxing district ot
•Shelby county all or enough of barge
boats, tools, implements and appliances
under the control of the Mississippi river
commission to be used in improving the
rivt r below Peel street in that city. The
resolution was adopted.
The house at 5 o’clock adjourned.

Washington, June 21.—George, from
the committee on judiciary, reported fa
vorably the bill to remove the political dis
abilities of J. G. Flournoy, of Mississippi,
and on motion of George the bill was at
once passed, the vote being unanimous.
Frye, from the committee on rules, re
ported favorably the Edmunds resolution
providing for such amendment to the rules
us to admit of debate on a motion to recon
sider. The resolution was agreed to and
the rules amended accordingly.
The army appropriation bill was report

a message of non-concurrence in the senate
amendments, and asking a conference.
The senate insisted on its amendments,
and the chair appointed Logan. Plumb and
Gorman as a conference committee.
T!ie consular mid diplomatic appropria
tion bill was received from the house with
a message of non-concurrence. The senate

he would call up the conference report on :
the post office appropriation bill.
A number of veto messages _ were re
ceived from the president which, when i
read, were laid upon the table.
The bill to repeal the pre-emption and;
timber acts was then taken up and its con
sideration proceeded with.
The bill was discussed until 6:15, when,
without action, the senate went into an ■
executive session.

senate adjourned.
Fifteen Velars.
Washington, June 21.—Fifteen veto I
messages were senl to congress to-day, i
thirteen of private pension bills and two of
public buildings bills.
Why lie Vrtucs Tlirm.
Washington, June 21.—The president
to-day sent to congress fifteen veto mes-
■‘■uges. six of which were (<> the senate and
"ail! to the house. In his message vetoing
the bill granting a pension to Elizabeth J.
DeKraff, the president -ays his objection is
that the bill is of no possible advantage to
the beneficiary and that the present pen
sion laws give her all tIn*advantages \vhich
she would receive under the special law.
The president adds: “lam so thoroughly
tired of disapproving gifts of the public
money to individuals, who. in my view,
have no right or claim to the same, not
withstanding the apparent coiigveBsion.il
sanction, that I interpose with a feeling of
relief in a case where I find it unnecessary
to determine the merits of the application,
in speaking of promiscuous and ill-advised
grants of pensions which have lately been
presented to me for approval, I have
spoken of their apparent congressional
sanction in recognition of the fact that a
urge proportion of these bills have never
» en submitted to a majority of either
ir anch of congress, but are the result ol
nominal sessions held for the express pur
pose of their consideration and attended
by a small minority of the members
f f the respective houses of
tlie legislative branch of the
government. Thus in considi-i’ing this
bui 1 have not felt that I was aided ov t in
deliberate judgment of congress, and when
1 have deemed it my duty to disapprove
many of the bills presented, I have hardly
regarded my action as a dissent from the
Conclusions’of the people's repr ■ eii'ui-v -.
1 Ivive not been insensible to tie- - I rg --
t-ous which should influence ■i "> i i. n
whether in n private station or official ,
place, to exhibit not only a just, but gener
ous appreciation of the services I
of your country’s defenders in
renewing pension legislation pre
sented to me. Many bills have been
approved upon the theory that every i
doubt should be resolved iu favor of the
proposed beneficiary. I have not, how-
ever, been able to entirely divest myself of
the idea that public money appropriated
for pensions is the soldiers' fund which
should be devoted to indemnification of
those who, in the defense of the union and j
the nation’s service, have worthily de- \
served it, and who, in the day of their de
pendence resulting from such suffering, I
are entitled to the benefactions of their
government. This reflection lends to the |
Bestowal of pensions a kind of sacredness ;
which Invited the adoption of such prinei- ■
pies and regulations as will exclude a per- 1
version as well as insure a
liberal and generous application i
of grateful and benevolent designs. The j
heedlessness and disregard of the princi
ples which underlies the granting of pen
sions is unfair to the wounded, crippled j
soldier who is honored in just recognition
of his government. Such a man should |
j never find himself side by side on tht pen-
l sion roll with those who have been tempted
to attribute their natural ills to which hu
manity is heir to service iu the army.
“Every relaxation in the granting'of pen
sions invites applications without merit i
anil encourages those who, for gain, urge
honest men to become dishonest. Thus is 1
the demoralizing lesson taught the people, 1
j that as against the public treasury the
most questionable expedients are allow
able.
“During the present session of congress
493 special pension bills have been submit
ted to me, and 1 am advised that 111 more
have received tlm favorable action of both
houses of congress and will be presented
within a day or two, making over WX) of
these bills which have been passed up to
this time during the present session, near
ly three times the number missed at any
entire session since 1881. With tlie peii '
sion bureau fully equipped and regu- ]
lated by the most liberal rules in active op
eration, supplemented in its work by con- I
stunt special legislation, it certainly is not !
unreasonable to suppose that in all tlie j
years that have elapsed since the close of
of the war a majority of'
the meritorious claims for pen- !
sions have been presented ami |
determined. I have now more than 130 of
these bills before me awaiting executive I
action. It will be impossible to bestow |
upon them all the examination they dc- J
serve and many will probably become op- 1
endive which should be rejected. In the I
meantime I venture to suggest the signifi- |
eatice of the startling increase in this kind
if legislation and the consequences involv
ed in its continuance.”
The bills providing for the erection of I
public buildings, at Zanesville, O., and j
Aioux City, Iowa, were vetoed fertile
reasons that no federal officers were located I
at either place e xcept postmasters, and
; he postal business of those places does not j
warrant tlie erection of.buildings oy the }
government for the special aecoinmoda- [
’.ion of the post office. The pr, sided says: |
“Tlie public buildings now til process .
of construction, numbering Kill, involving |
constant supervision, are all the building i
projects which the government ought to
nave on hand at one time, unless a very |
palpable necessity exists to," increasing the i
lumber. The multiplication of these,
structures involves not only the appropriu- ,
lion made for their completion, but great i
-xpunse in their earn and preservation i
.hereafter. While n fine government
building is a desirable ornament to any I
own or city, and while the securing of an j
ippropriation then for is often considered '
is an illustration of zeal and activity in tin.
nterest of constituency, I am of the opin
on that the expenditure ol public money j
for such purpose should depend upon tin 1
necessity of such buildings for public uses.” |
Iiivali.l IVashin llill.
Washington, June 21.—The house com
mittee on invalid pensions to-day agreed |
to the amalgamated substitute' for the
lllair bill pensioning disabled soldiers witli
the bill to increase the rate of the pension
of soldiers who have lost a leg or arm, and
attach to the combined bills a clause im
posing an income tax to meet the expendi
tures involved. The clause is patterned
after the income tax bill introduced in the
47th or 48th congress by Generul Ewing.
I'he statistics collected at the time the bill
was introduced indicated (hat a revenue of
$63,000,000 per annum could lie raised in
'bis way. If the bill can be passed prompt- '
iy it is expected by the committee that it I
will prepare the wav for favorable action ;
on the bill to extent) the date within which i
claims for arrears of pensions may bo filed,
as the necessary ri venue to pay the claims j
will be available.

GLADSTONE ADDRESSES ANOTHER LARGE
MEETING.
EniNBPRon, June 21.—Gladstone nd-
| dressed another large and enthusiastic
I meeting here to-day. In the course of his
, speech he said it was irksome to always
j be compelled to refer to Ireland, but that
: his was due to the tories, who had blocked
I '.he way so that the government could not
i get rid of tiic question and proceed to
I other business of the empire. He relied,
| lie added, upon the people's energy to
! clear the line and allow the train of
progress lo go to itsusstinaviou. He deni
ed ha'Inc cheered .Sexton when the lattei
j ioLo'.eii Chainberhiin in the debate nn
the home rule bill and taunted him with
being ambitious to be the mayor of Bir-
I mingiinin. The premier reiterated his de
mand upon the Marquis of Salisbury and
the Kail of L'urnovan to answer the ques
tions in 1 asked of them last Friday nigiit,
and said that he thought (losehen, former

Washington, June 21.—About one hun
dred of the democratic representatives
- vho voted for tlm consideration of Morri
son’s tariff bill Assembled in the hall -f the
iiouse to-nignt. Representative Bragg, of
Wisconsin, was chosen chairman and K 1*.
McCrea the secretary of the conference.
Speaker Carlisle opened the proceedings
with a stirring speech, urging toe mem
beVs to stai d linn in tbeir pin pose of teri H
reform aiid pointing out tne neuebsit y of
united and harmonious action.
Cox. of North Carolina, offered n resolu
tion instructing Morrison to renew his
motion to consider the tariff bill to-moi-
ro\v. Considerable opposition was mani
fested, however, and as Morrison himself
expressed a desire to be left free to *act in
the matter as seemed best to him, the res
olution was Anally withdrawn.
Morrison then moved that tlie Lurid re
form democrats select one member from
each state to constitute a committee which
shall consider the advisability of issuing ai;
address to the country explanatory of the
oosition of that element, the committee to
report to another conference to ho held
later in the present month.
This motion gave rise to com id mbit
discussion, mostly of a friendly nature,
however, and Allen t of -Mississippi, said he
realized the responsibility of his position
as a leader of the majority, and dis
trustful of his Jown (strength, he
sought the appointment of a com
mittee to relieve him by suggesting a plan
of operations in the present emergency.
The people demanded prompt, energetic
action and less talk. In illustration, he
told a story of fi Texas man indicted for
the murder of a guest. When called
on to plead the Texan told how thi
st ranger had partaken of Ids
aospitality and then revih-d and ’..suited
his Household goods. All the revilemenls
and insult, tlie host had borne with patience,
but finally the man talked taiiff lo aim.
and he rose up ami shot him. Keen Mom
son joined in the laughter that followed
the speech.
The resolution was adopted, and thi n
the discussion turned on the present stab,
of business in the house, and several gen
tlemen took advantage of the occasion t
impress upon the meeting the nc-cossity of
aciio.n upon some of their bills. It was
dually decided to call a «ull democratic
caucus for next Wednesday night to agree
upon future procedure.

Munich, June 21.---Murmurs are heard

i the late king. The people ask why his

I fathers in Theatinor church, instead of
being placed in a vault containing the
bod’c.i of distant relatives, and in which
a puunber of the royal family was never

I NORTH CAROLINA EDITORS.
New York, Juno 20.—Mr. Joseph Me
dill, editor ofthe Chicago Tribune, was at
the Fifth Avenue hotel this afternoon,
making preparations to leave to-morrow
for Europe. He was in excellent humor
when approached by a reporter.
“Wlmt Is the outlook for 1<S88, eh?” he
said, “Well, this is, to use an agricultural
phrase, the mid-harvest time,bet ween hay
ing anti reaping, so I can only tell how the
present outlook appears. The west is solid
tnd unanimous for Blaine, and will be un
til the convention meets. Tfvou ask any
one about 1888 lie will say, ‘The old ticket,’
meaning Blaine and Logan. You
may hear that remark every
where, in all sections, and there
e.in be no mistake as to the general feeling.
‘ i'he old ticket’ is echoed on the street cor
ners, in the shops, among the farmers, and,
indeed, wherever there are republican
voters. Outside of New York state 1 can
•-.peak positively. Blaine will have a solid
delegation from every state. If New York
sends a delegation for him there will be no
ballot whatever, but his nomination will
be made unanimous by a vising vote, like
vlrant’s in 1808. Now York is the pivotal
state, and Mr. Blaine has already proven
tow strong he is and what a close run he
can make. Tin south is solid, and there is
uo use disguising the fact the republicans
must carry New York. I do not know of
any other man who cun create the enthusi
asm and the admiration that Blaine would
at the head of the ticket. He is so great
the English plutocrats took a decided in
terest in his defeat, and even now his
words have become tlie theme for speeches
in the pending contest for home rule. Ho
made tne greatest homo rule speed) that
has ever been nude in America, in fact
that any man has ever made except (Jlad-
slonc. He is the (iladstone of America,
mil the people begin to realize nnu
icknowledge him ns their leader, lie
.s nearer tlie people, democratic, and
■ I posed to the aristocratic rulers
»f England. That is why those
English nobles dislike him. If Mr. (limi-
ton e could secure his services to make
•ipccebes with him throughout his eam-
ii’iign, he no doubt would disarm tlie Brit
ish of tin ir prejudice and pain t housandsof
otes for homo rule. Blaine’s everyact’on
! lows his eminent tit ness na a statesman,
fe i.. quick to decide in international ques-
ions licit will idmit of no delay, and has
he determination and siamina that go to
; lake t he (undrmental principles of a lead
r. li will be a tidal wave in his favor
hat the country cannot resist. Logan will
be put on the ticket for vice-president, lie
•nay object, but all the s>me the place will
be given to him.”
ney’s office said this evening concerning
this rumor: ‘‘It is the most arrant non
sense from beginning to end. Of course
t hese men would he glad to have Waite
out of the wav, and no doubt would be
willing to make up a purse of flO.OOO and
2my #200 a month, or even a greater sum,
to accomplish their purpose, but there if
no chance whatever that any such scheme
can be carried out. Waite is still in the
custody of the court, and will be pro
duced whenever lie is wanted. The in-
dieted men have good reason to fear the
testimony which he will give; but even
if they should get him out of the country,
their money would he spent for nothing,
for the prosecution is prepared at the
proper time to introduce other testimony
which will he just as convincing as that
which Waite will give.”

I Slate clnb, the democratic club of Boston.
I The club gave a dinner in Ids honor this
j afternoon, at which Jj00 guests sat. Alter
! the c.ioih was removed, I’resident Charles
I 11. Taylor presented the guest of the day
i in a speech eulogizing the uncompromising
| democracy of New York’s governor. Gov.
I H : ll replied at some length, referring to
i Massachusetts os the birthplace of Horatio
I S"vinour, Samuel J. Tilcien and Grove r
I Cleveland. The last named he referred to
as “the honored chief magistrate of
Lie country, who is so ably and
satisfactorily discharging the import
ant duties of his high trust.” Of President
Cleveland lie further said: “We have a
president whose honesty and sincerity of
purpose to serve the people faithfully are
conceded by every one. He may make
mistakes, but what public man does not
make them? Permit me to suggest at »I is
time that our opponents cannot disturb
our equanimity by intimating that we
are disappointed about the spoils of
office. There is no such disap
pointment. The democratic party has
iiighcr aims and purposes than the distri
bution of party patronage.” Gov. lli’l
expressed it as his opinion that the* pre-i
dem should have power to appoint tin-
trammeled by senate confirm; tjon, and
added : “J am utterly opposed to any
policy or scheme whicii prevents any ml
from recognizing faithful

j Washington, June 20.—Congressman
1 Holman, who yesterday returned nom his
home in Indiana, in an interview published
in a local evening paper, says he cannot
• tell wluit effect disappointment over offices
’ has had upon Indiana democrats. “Their
; feeling toward the administration,” Mr.
| Holman says, “is that of perfect
I confidence. They believe that Mr.
Cleveland is an honest, faithful man. No*
I man within my memory, except Lincoln
and Grant, has taken sucli a hold upon the
I people as lias Mr. Cleveland. Indeed, he
has had a steady growth in their oouti-
| deuce. With some slight adjustment of
the civil service rules wuioh will give CY>
deuce of his loyalty to the party the
gmwlh of his strength will he phenome
nal.'’ As to the indications for 1888, Mr.
1 Holman is reported as saying: “If any
demo, rat is to he elected, it will he Mr.
Cleveland. If he continues to give the peo-
1 pie an honest and faithful administration,
1 winning tin confidence of the people as
1 lie. has, he will agiin be fleeted president.
It Ills administration tails the party faha
with it. If wo do not iv-olect him we will
not elect any one.”
