last year, and that the total number of pen
sion certificates issued was S,199, being

1884. The commissioner of pensions to-
day rendered a decision subject to the ap-
provai of the secretary of the interior, ON
the pension application of Mrs. Emma De
Long. widow of the late Lieut..
Commander De Long of the Jeanette. The
commissioner holds that the officers and
men who were on the Jeanette expedition
were in the service Of the United States and
the order of the secretary of the navy de-
failing De Long to special duty at New
York and then to the command of the
Jeanette changed his status from ''absent
on leave" to that of ''active duty" and
therefore entities his widow to a pension.

Chicago Herald.
Russia's refusal to enter into any further
discussion of the Penjdeh incident is very
curt way OF asking England what it is going
to do about it. If the Gladstone ministry will
submit to that it will submit to a good many
other things. Every reason that Russia can
advance for the seizure of Penjdeh would an
swer equally well for an assault upon Herat
or upon India itself.
The failure of the London government to
declare war on the receipt of this insulting
and contemptuous message can only be ac-
counted for on the ground. that satisfactory
arrangements for the neutrality or assistance
of other powers have not yet been made. 1t
is impossible to believe that the British min
istry can have become so weak and irresolute
as to bear this insolence and injury with
equanimity. Russia has provoked war, and
il England does not accept the challenge its
prestige will be lost forever.
