WARRINGTON.
The Struggle In Congress for
Free 6hips.
The Arrears Of Pensions Bhi-Chdnce
of Veto From the President.

WAsHIN0ToN, JAN. I5.
Members of the House Appropriation
Committee say that s30.000,000 is the
lowest estima ate that has been furnished
the committee of ihe amount necessary
TO provide for the payment OF pension
arrears If the bill now before the Presi-
dent should be signed. 1t is stated that
the Secretary of the Treasury N getting
all the information that can be furnished
not only by the Pension Bureau, but by
experts in pension claims ny to the
amount that would be necessary, and one
of the experts has placed the amount
that would be required to pay the AREA s
as high AS S75, 900 900. The fact that no
one IN the Pension Bureau can detnitely
estimate the sum has alarmed the Secre-
rary, and further investigation shows
that the wording of the bill Is such that
Thousands of pensioners would, under a
strict construction of IL, be entitled each
10 a large sum.
In view of these fact, there is =
ST. ong probability thet the President will
| veto 1t, and in doing so will call attention
| TO manifest antiquities In the wording
of the act, az the reason for declining t.
sign bill which would draw from the
Treasury such an enormous sum. Gen
ersl Rice, chairman of the House Com
mite on Pensions, who originated the
bill, says that the bill ds passed was not
he bill perfected by him, and admits
that it is def-c i've in not making the
cases intcn ed to be benefited more
specific. He thinks If the President
] should veto IL for the reasons above
gwen, that a bill remedying the desect-
will be repoi ted, aud that the amount re
quired to pay the cases contemplate
will not exceed $4,000, 900.

WAsuINGToN, Jan. 19.-Information
has been received at the Department Of
Justice of the arrest by warrant of State
or municipal authority in Alabama, Of
United States District Attorney Mayer
and United States Marshal Turner, the
latter lying now in Jail, and the former
having been released on writ OF habeas
corpus issued by United States District
Judge Bruce.
A municipal or State Court in Selma
issued subpu'nas to District Attorney
Mayer, Marshal Turner aud Mr.. Dim
mock, Clerk of the county, commanding
them to appear and bring before 1t the
ballot boxes and ballots used in the cleo
tions of last November. These ballot
boxes and ballots were at the time in
question being used by the Grand Jnry
of the United States Circuit Court, sit
ting at Montgomery, as evidence in Get
tain cases therein, pending ht finding of
indictments for violation of the election
laws of the United States.
The State Court assumed that they
were required by it at Selma for similar
uses in certain cases of violation of the
pldlt tltllOH laws. inc oI1lftfs maze
due return to the process served upon
them, to the effect that the ballot box, y
and ballots were not in their possession
o under their personal control, but were
in the custody of the United States Cir
cult Court. When the process had been
thus returned to the State court, tn.
Judge OF the latter Instantly issued writs
OF attachment for the bodies of Mayor

ment for contempt. District Attorney

event OF the execution Of the threat to
, arrest hln. This he did, and being ar
rested AT Huntsville last Saturday,
whittier he had gone in attend lnce ON
his official duty, he was released ON a
writ issued by Judge Bruce
But Marshal Turner who was not fore
1 armed, was arrested and committed t.
: jail. AT the latest accounts he was We,
IN custody, and, under the laws of STATE
regulating commitments for contempt o.
the State courts, would remain III con.
\ fincment Tor hvc days, subject TO inmud
