"TUgy THE RASCALS OUT"
How tlsc Pension Bureau Has
Been PrOsfifufed for Political
Purposes.
Washington Post,

AT the meeting of the House Com
mittee Oh the Payment of Pension,
Bounty and Back Pay yesterday a
number of examiners in the Pension
Office testified that in October they
were instructed by Second Assistant
Chief Smith, Of one Of the divisions,
not to report any case for rejection.
1t was the understanding, they said,
that the order was given for political
purposes; that il pensioners learned
that their cases were rejected they
would oppose Republican candidates
for office.
AT Tuesdays session T. A. Broa-
dus, clerk, testified that in the early
part Of October he took the case of a
widow to Mr.. Comstock, chief of the
Western division, and said, although
it contained q technical defect, it
ought to be passed. Mr.. Comstock
asked what Congressman had pre-
sented it.
"Mr. Holman the clerk replied.
ooh, he's the great objector," the
chief said. "He's id Democrat,
and if the case is passed it will be
worth fifteen votes to him in his To-
cality. Hold it up until the require
ments are complied with"
Mr.. Broadus said the defects after
some time were remedied, and that
the case was passed. Mr.. Winthrop,
a special examiner, testified that he
reported to the Pension office that he
had taken certain number of depo-
sitions on two successive days. He
said that he had not taken the depo-
sitions on two days, but on one day,
and had divided them in his report,
so that he might make good record
in the Office

NO EXTRA SESSION PROB
ABLE.


While it is believed that the Re
publican leaders iii both branches of
Congress would like TO bring about
an extra session, the Democrats
think lay meeting early and sitting
late the danger can be averted. 1t
is admitted that it is in the power of
the Republicans to compel an extra
session, but it is net at all clear that
the Republican leaders care to take
any open responsibility in bringing
such result about. 4 number of
members Of the Senate ami House
were asked yesterday by a reporter
of the Post about the probability oil
an extra session. nearly all said there
would not he one. Senator Hoar, of
Massachusetts, said that the Senate
had a great advantage over the
House, because it could transact its
business rapidly and there was little
danger of an extra session resulting
from the action of the Senate. BY
sitting early and late the House
could make rapid headway. When
asked about the determination of the
Senate to stand by its position that
it would not accept general legisla
tion on appropriation bills, Mr. Hoar
said that there was always a little
s'give and take on these matters,
and where such general legislation
was desirable and proper the Senate
would hardly insist to the point of
forcing an extra session. The ques
ton of an extra session apparently
depends upon the dispatch of the
House. WASHINGTON Post

The Inaugural Festivities Arr
ranged ON a Colossal Scale.

Some idea of the size of the Pen
sion building, where the biggest in
augural ball ever given in this coun
try will be held on March 4, may be
got from the fact that ST. Peters at
Rome, only holds about sd, 1000 per-
sons, while the Pension building will
hold about $4,000. just now it is a
wilderness of scaffolding, but order
is coming out of chaos as if by magic.
On Monday last the canvass roofwas
put on. 1t is like a double A tent,
with three great roof trees to support
it, besides an ingenious continuance
to hold it in place. No such ballroom
was ever dreamed of as that of the
great courtyard rooted over. 1t is
surrounded by large balconies sup
ported by 144 pillars. The space
under these balconies makes a mag
nifcent promenade.
The President will enter the room
by the north door, which will be
draped with crimson silk curtains.
The opposite door will be concealed
by gigantic mirror. These entran-
ces are really carriageways, so their
size may be imagined. The decora
tions will be of the most expensive
material The New York contractors
have insured the decorations for $780,
900. The balconies will be hung
with dark-red velvet; spangled with
gold. Each of the 144 pillars will
be hung with silk flags, while beneath
the balconies will be shields embroid-
cred with the coats of arms of the
different States and Territories, and
hung with silk flags, tipped with sill
yer spear points. The Botanical
Gardens, the Agricultural Depart
ment, and the White House will fur
nish unlimited palms and ferns.
President Cleveland will return to
the custom of Washington and Jeffer
son and stand on dais during the
opening ceremonies of the ball. BY
his side will be chair made Of flow
ers, and the dais will have over it a
canopy Of flowers. Every bare spot
on the wall will be covered with bunt-
ing, and the eight great pillars, reach
ing from floor to roof, will be covered
with silica to represent marble. The
electric light will be freely employed,
and over the dais will be the Ameri-
can eagle done In gas Jets. Among
the ornaments will be the Capitol
made of flowers and large floral
ships.
The supper will be served in the
small rooms, Hunting Hammond, Of
the Murray Hill Hotel, having the
contract. 1t will cost $3.50 to wax
the floor for the dances. President
Cleveland will dance the opening
qnadriile with Mrs McElroy, and
ex- President Arthur with Miss Cleve-
