In the star-route cases, in the Dis
trict Supreme Court, Judge Cox quashed the
information filed against Brady, French Tur
ner and Brown, charged with frauds against
the Government, and ordered that they be set
free. After the Judges decision had been rem
dered, Mr.. William Cook, OF special counsel for
the Government, made long speech excul-
patory of himself, his brother counsel and At
torney General MacVeagh. Cook now pro-
poses to bring the cases before the Grand Jury
at an early date
The various departments at Washing
ton have completed the estimates for the next
fiscal year. Nearly every department will ask
for an increase over the amount voted last
year. The Secretary of War will ask for
1000, 900 on account of the increase in the
price Of supplies. The Interior Department
will ask for 800, 900, 600 for pensions, of which
Sos, 000, 900 are for "accrued" pensions and
the Navy Department will ask for $31, 600, 900
for new ships. The Postofice Department Is
nearly self-sustaining, and no demands will be
made Oh Congress for any large appropriation.
Co. Cook, of the prosecuting counsel
in the star-route cases, says that the recent de-
feat does not mean that the star-route cases
will be abandoned. On the contrary he says
the prosecution will be vigorously and zealously
pushed. The cases will be brought up in the
Police Court in few weeks, when it is expected
that the ringsters will be held to the next Grand
Jury. Col. Cook and his associates have no
faith in the present Grand Jury.
The Commissioner of Pensions takes
very liberal view of the necessities of the
pension service. He says he will ask Congress
for $40, 0O0, 600 to cover deficiency in the dis
bursements of the present fiscal year, while
500, COO, 900 is the lowest estimate for the next
fiscal year. In addition to that, he says that il
would be better if Congress would make an APP
preparation of 5000, OOO, 900 and increase the
clerical force so that the arrears of pensions
can be speedily settled. As, after they were
once settled, the annual appropriation would
be reduced TO $4,000, 900.
