Twenty-three at u Jump.
WASHINGTON, July 10.-In the Senate
to-day Mr.. Blair, from the Committee on
Pensions, submitted report on twenty
three pension bills vetoed by the Presi-
dent, and recommending that the bills be
passed Notwithstanding the Presidents
objections. In reply to question by
MIR. kenna, Mr.. Blair stated that the
veto messages had been (by an order of
the committee referred to the members
who had originally reported the bills. In
accordance with that order he made this
report.
Mr.. Camden read a paper signed by
himself, Messrs. Colquitt, Wilson of Mary
land, and Whitthorne Democratic men,
bers of the Committee on Pensions }, de-
nying any knowledge OF Mr.. Blair's
report or of the order referred to. The
report did not present the views of the
committee on these vetoed bills, but only
the views of Henry w. Blair. The rea-
sons assigned by the President in vetOing
each of these bills separately did not call
for gross criticism or Tor the censure OF
the Senate.
NOT EXAMINED.
MIR. Blair asked Mr.. Camden whether
any OF the Senators who had signed that
paper had examined any of the bills,
either before or after the veto, and he an
swered the question himself by asserting
that they had not.
MIR. Kenna moved that the report,
views OF the minority and all papers be
recOmmItted to the Committee on Pen
sions for consideration by that committee.
Mr.. Teller sustained the motion and
said that the action of the committee in
the matter was certainly irregular. The
VetOes OF the President was entitled TO
the judgment of the entire committee or
of quorum. II no quorum could be OBJ
talned to attend to the matter the respon-
sibility should rest with the committee.
Mr.. Blair consented to the recOmmittal
and the matter was accordingly recon-
mitted, MIR. Blair giving notice that he
would call it up next Tuesday morning.
The Senate then resumed consideration
of messages on the calendar.
MIR. Riddleberger's resolution, offered
April II, in relation to consideration of

tion went over.

menials below stairs were busy with their
own affairs when he breathed his last.
Twenty-Five years ago this man was a
widOwer with an only son, a bold, bright
young fellow with brains and energy
enough to become q man of power. At
college this son made friend and intro
duced him to his father. The friend was
poor and the father gave him place in
his establishment. The homogeneous init
macy between the emplOye and the em-
ployer's son was kept up, and the former
was led into extravagances that prompt
ed him to crime. 1t was small apprO-
priatiOn-a couple of thousand dollars
