RUssIA's EXPLANATION.

Batoum as Free Port Detrimental
TO Commercial Interests.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 9.-It is officially
stated that the closing of the port OF
Batoum does not constitute violation Of
the Berlin treaty. Bat0um was made
free port under the influence of ciTcum-
stances which have entirely changed.
The present condition of affairs OF the
port is onerous for the treasury. The
customs Gordon on the land
side Is prejudicial to the
material and commercial development
Of Batoum and to the district inoorpO-
rated with Russia after the Russo Turkish
war, and the naphtha trade, which Is an
i'm mpOrtant one for Transcaucasia and
foreign consumers, has been seriously
affected. The people also complain OF
octrOi duties. Considering all these cir
cumstances Russia cannot overlook the
fact that article % of the Berlin
treaty Is exceptional, inasmucn as
1t was not the result of any
understanding. but of free and spOnta.
neous declaration that Russia was willing
to make BatOum a free port. The advan-
tages which were then cOntemp plated on
the guarantee Of the contracting powers
cannot longer be considered, as
since the abolition of the
Caucasian transmit BatOum has
ceased to be an entreDOt for foreign goods
between Europe and Persia and has only
retained her import trade. Therefore eX-
ternal interests no longer induce Russia
TO continue to make sacrifices to the detri.
ment OF the country around Batoum.
Eight years experience has shown the
injury resulting from making BatOum a
free port. There is no reason to doubt
the necessity Of ending the arrangement,
FRANCE AND RUSSIA.
LONDON. July 10, A. M.-Die Neue
Frei Presse OF Vienna says that NJ. de
Freycinet. the French Premier. refused
Russia's offer OF an alliance, as he did not
wish TO hamper frances freedom OF action
or endanger her friendly relations with
Germany.

messages to-day. Representative Nor
rill, OF Kansas, presented a report which

Harden filed two apple The hrst
was filed in 1866, based on injuries re-
ceived in falling from a wagon white In
the service, and the second in 1880 for en-
largement OF the lungs and heart from
over eXertion at a review. They were
rejected by the Pension Ofiioe aud the bill
was vetoed because of insutficiency of
evidence. Representative O'Rara, OF
North Carolina, made similar report
in the case of Mary Norman, OF South
Carolina, and an effort VIII be made to
pass the bill, Notwithstanding the veto.
The record shows that the husband was
wounded and became partially deaf. In
consequence he failed To hear an alarm
while crossing ferry and was drowned.
The bill was vetoed because the President
was not satisfied that tue injury was re-
ceived in the service. In the cases OF the
widow of Gen. Hunter and Catharine
Mccarthy adverse reports were ordered
and no effort will be made to pass them
over the vetOes. The case OF f. \. Har-
ringtOn, who was injured by comrade,
was reserved for further examination.

of Representatives a message vetoing the
bill granting a pension to Daniel II. Ross.

pending before the. Pension Bureau, but
he died last February, and this bill is
vetoed on the ground that If ii became
completed legislation 1t might prejudice
the claim of Mr.. Ross widow.

day resumed consideration of the general
deficiency bill, and, by!a vote OF ia to Is,
confirmed the action OF the committee of
the whole in agreeing to the amendment
making an appropriation to meet the Fox

amendment granting TO the House aud
Senate employees one months extra pay.
The House was In great confusion, which
was increased when Mr.. Reagan charged
that the amendment bad been tampered
with and made to include the official re-
porters and capitol police. lie stated
that the amendment as agreed to in COM
mittee had not included those employees.
Mr.. Hepburn, OF Iowa, who had origi-
nally drafted the amendment, stated tnat
no change had been made in it, and Mr..
Reagan admitted that he must have
been mistaken. The opponents of the
amendment failed to secure the yeas and
nays on its passage and the amendment
was agreed to. They, however, secured
roll call on a motion to reconsider and lay
on the table. The latter motion was
agreed to by ll6 yeas to l04 nays, so the
amendment remains in the bill. Pending
further action the House took a recess
until O'Clock, the evening session to be
