ALBANY, y. Y, February 13.-The incessant
talk regarding the probable composition OF Mr..

poIlucai reasons, however strong, any man not
particularly qualified for the position for which
he is named. This fact renders somewhat doubt

tary OF the Treasury. Mr.. Manning's views on
the tariff are understood to have broadened
somewhat within Year, and he is said to be

TESTIMONY BEFORE THE HOUSE COMMITTEE
At Tuesdays session of the House committee
On the payment of pensions, bounty and back
pay I. "A. Broadus, clerk testified that in the
early part of October he took the case of a
widow to Mr. .COmstOck, chief Ofthe western diyi-
sion, and said, although it contained a techni-
cal defect IT ought to be passed Mr.. ComstocE
asked what congressman had presented it.
''Mr. Holman replied the clerk. "Oh. he's
the great obJectOr,' the chief said. Hes a
ID democrat, and if the case is passed II
Will be worth fifteen votes TO him in his local
ity. Hold 1t up until the requirements are
complied with" Mr. BrOadus said the defects
after some time We're remeded, and that the
case was passed. The testimony before the
comnf0tee yesterday was printed in THE STAR
last evening.
TESTIMONY TAKEN TODAY.
At the meeting of the committee to-day, Mr..
COmstock, chief of the western division, testi-
fled that he was instructed during the recent
campaign by the then commissioner, W. W.
dudley, to extend the same privileges accorded
congressman In presenting pension cases to
Mr.. Grubbs, of Indiana. Mr.. Grubbs was the
republican candidate for Congress from the
of Representative e. G. Matson democratic can
dfdate. Such an order, Mr.. ComstOck said was
considered strange, both by himself and clerks
in the office. 1t had been the practice to eX-
tend these privileges to eX-Inembers OF Congress-
but never before had they been extended to
persons who had not served in Congress, and
VINO, like MIR. Grubbs, was u congressional can
didate.
A number of clerks were examined who cor
roborated the testimony given yesterday, that
orders wese given to hold rejected cases until
after the election.

Sir John Macdonald, premier OF the do

speaking Of the fate OF Riel, is reported TO
have said, it depends entirely upon the
privy council Of England. If that body de
cides in favor of Riel his sentence OF death
cannot be carried out, but if, as Sir John
anticipates, it upholds the sentence, the
Canadian government will not reprieve
him. and he will hang. Sir John also says
that if French Canadians carry out their
threat OF rebellion il Riel is hanged, the
English speaking people ofthe dominion and
the government must meet them III arms
If this is to take place, if there is to be a
war of race no time is better h a the pres
ent, and Sir John trusts that the Nine
tenth Rifles, the Winnipeg light infantry
and other Manitoba regiments will be ready
to 90 to Ontario or anywhere else ordered,
and do their duty as faithfully as they
have done in the past.
