Doorkeeper of the House, will publish in The Uash-

criticisms made upon his letter of defence printed in
the same paper few days ago. He says that the
assertions made in that letter not the result Of
an "afterthought" many gentlemen were informed
of the facts previous to his trial before the Civil
Service Committee, among whom were several
members of Congress. He also adds that 1t was the
intention of his friends TO bring these facts out on
the floor of the House, and it would have been done
if debate had not been cut off by the previous ques
ton, and his defenders prevented from making their
speeches.

CONCERNING JUDGE PECK
GENERAL PRESS DIsPATCHI

GENERAL PRESS DIsPATCH.I
WASHINGTON, April 10.-Ihc executive session of
the Senate to-day was largely devoted to discus
sion Of the case of John w. Hoyt, of Wisconsin,
nominated to displace John NJ Thayer formerly Of
Nebraska, as Governor of Wyoming. Governor
Thayer's removal was proposed by thes President
solely on account of his signature Of the
bill unanimously passed by the Territorial Legis-
lature assigning Judge Peck to a district where
there is little judicial business. Professor Hoyt's
nomination was reported adversely from the Com
mittee Territories, buthe Senate, by very small
majority, confirmed il after a debate in the
course of which the point was made by members of
the Judiciary Committee that Professor HOyts re-
lection would not secure Governor ThayeTs reten-
ton, as the President has power to remove Govern
ors OF Territories, with without the acquiescence
of the Senate.

HOW TO PAY THE PENSIONS.
OPPOSITION MANIFESTED IL THE HOUSE TO
CHANGE or PLAN.


CHANGE or PIAN.
fBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNEi
WASHINGTON April 1O.-The House dropped the
consideration of the Tariff Bill, to-day and took up
the Pension Appropriation Bill, spending the greater
part OF the afternoon in general debate upon IT.
The only important legislation proposed in this
measure is the abolition OF the present pension
agencies, and the payment of all pensions directly
by checks drawn on the Treasury Department
The controversy the change grows, first out Of
the jealousy between the Committee on Appropra-
tons and that Pensions the latter asserting that
the former has 10 right to propose important
changes In the pension laws as it has done III this
bill and secondly out of difference of opinion to
the practicability of the plan and its economy
The advocates Of the abolition Of pension agencies
assert that the saving to the Government will be at
least $500, 900 year, while its opponents declare
that the change will involve great delays in the
payment of pensions and will cause much suffering
TO those that dependent on their allowances for
support.
The House is not divided by party lines on tits
question. Some prominent Democrats among them,
General Bragg, of Wisconsin, oppose the change
while some leading Republicans favor It.
The general debate on the bill was nearly com
plcted this afternoon and it is probable that the
measure will be agreed TO by the House the next
time il goes into Committee of the Whole. The
fate of the particular feature of the bill which has
been referred to is very doubtful Taking the dis
cussion of to-day as the basis for prediction, it
would seem probable that the present system will
be retained.
