fusing to an-sex or to protect SoudaD notwith-
standing the objections of his colleagues in
the cabinet. 1t says tn at "Gladstone's career is
drawing to close, and we hope it will end in

WASHINGTON, March 17.-In the Senate to-

the Secretary of the Interior to report to the
Senate the names of the parties who have had
pension applications pending for more than
two years, and to show the condition of
such applications and the reasons why they

information called for would enable Senators
and applicants to see how the cases stood. No
tragedy could be pnt on the stage, Mr.. Hoar
said, which ought more to move the feelings
of right-minded men, especially of American
legislators, than the stories which come to us
day after day, week after week, month after
month and year after year, of the hopes de-
ferred, of tie povery, sorrow aud agony Of
men who suffered wounds and privations and
gave up their strength and health for their
