Mr.. w. B. Lathrop, of South Eastnn,
Mass, under date of Jan. Z, 1884, says:
my father had for years an eating cancer
on his under lip. which had been gradu-
ally growing worse until it had eaten
away his under lip down TO the gums and
was feeding itself on the inside of his
cheek, and the surgeons said a horrible
death was soon to come. We gave him

PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS.
What Senator Sherman Says About
Pension Legislation.

Pension Legislation.
WASHINGTON CITY, June 24-In the
senate Hale offered resolution directing the
committee on expenditures of public money
to investigate recent defalcations of disIurs
ing officers in all the departments in Wash
ington, and the alleged fraud on the govern
ment by means of false vouchers in
the navy department. Ingalls, said
some radical defects must exist in
some of the department accounts
which permitted such speculations.
He hoped the investigation would be broad
and thorough. The resolution was adopted.
Frye introduced bill authorizing the APP
pointment of a commission of naval archi-
tects and marine engineers to examine new
designs for steamships. The bill granting
right of way through Indian Territory to
the Southern Kansas railroad was passed.
Consideration of the Mexican pension bill
was resumed, the pending question being the
amendment of ingalls, TO remove the hmita-
ton from the arrears of pensions act. Sher-
man opposed this proposition. He said 1t
involved large sum of money. His feelings
were with the union soldier, but this amend
ment affected all the interests of the people,
and he was bound to consider the common
good. This was not the time t2 make such an
enormous demand on the treasury. eve arc
now" said the senator, ain times of pinch;
our revenues are falling off. The shrinkages
Of values within the past year has been
enormous, and is going on day by day. AT
this time-the uncertainties of which no man
can doubt, the severity of which no man can
question-we should not DO called upon to
assume a liability which would involve the
enormous sum mentioned in this debate"
In the house, after the call of states, Ran
dali, by order of the committee on appropri-
ations, asked unanimous consent to suspend
the rules to pass the sundry civil appropria
ton bills, with the right reserved to vote on
some half dozen amendments. After brief
debate the rules were suspended and the clerk
began reading the bill.

WASHINGTON CITY, June 24.-The
secretary OF the interior will send to congress
full statement as to the financial condition
of the Union Pacific road. One of the
schedules will not fail to attract attention
1t shows that the road under its late manage
ment instead of meeting the requirements
of the sinking fund invested some
"a, 000, 600 in the stocks and bonds of other
companies This was part of its policy in
annexing branch roads. The Union Pacific
seems to have pledged itself to assume all the
obligations of these branches, irrespective
of the value of these obligations. A large
percentage of these obligations consist of
what would perhaps be called 3cats and
dogs"
