WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE House

Increase the rate of pension for the loss of q
leg or arm; to increase the rate of pausiOn
for the loss of an eye, and the Ellsberry
bill to pension all honOrably discharged
soldiers incapacitated from performing
manual labor. The latter bill was
discharged soldiers who had served ninety
days during the war and who are or who
might become disabled from performing
manual labor unless such disability was
occasioned by their own gross or vicious
habits, should be entitled to a pension and
in that form 1t was ordered to be reported
to the House. The bill to increase the
rate of pension for loss of an eye was also
ordered to be reported fav0rably. The

further consideration.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Secretary
of the Interior has rendered decision in
the ex-parte case of James Britain, revers
ing the decision of the Commissioner of the
General Land Office of November IL, 1885,
which held that as under section 1921 re-
vised statutes, person was entitled to but
one presumption right, he could not aftcr
perfecting ono presumption right be per.
mitted to commute homestead entry into
q cash entry under section 1901 revised
statutes, as this would be equivalent to a
second Endorsement of the same right in
respect to the interests involved. This de-
cision is regarded by land Office officials as
the most important public land decision
made by the Interior Department in many
years.

PENSIONS AND POLITICS.
Another Case Brought by Commissioner
Black Before the Senate Committee.


The Senate committee on public expenditures
to-day resumed the examination OF Pension
Commissioner Black in regard to the allegation
that partisan influences had prevailed in the
pension Office under past administrations The
case Of Charles DupelI, OF Company G, 139th
New York volunteers, was taken up. An APP
plication for pension was made in 1869 on the
ground Of wound in the left leg received at
Cold Harbor in 1864, for which claimant was
treated in hospitals for some time and upon re-
turning to his regiment was discharged as ul,-
able to perform military duty. In 1859 Dupell
applied for and received a pension OF 81 month
tor disability OF left leg; In 1888 he applied
for reinstatement, having been dropped because
for six years he did not claim his pension, and
for an increase OF pension, on the ground of dis
ability to the right leg resulting from wound
in that leg received at Cold Harbor at the same
time that the left leg was wounded. After SUBJ
uniting to several examinations by pension
boards. the claim was allowed and the certifi-
cate was issued. Claimant in numerous letters
to Commissioner Dudley protested against this
delay, and asserted that his pension had been
promised him. He explained his neglect to
draw his pension for six years BY saying he did
not then need the money, and being out west he
did not know that he could draw his pension
back pay and his allowance of increase, and was
persistent in making his demand by lette s. In
his letters he made frequent illusions to his
during the campaign OF 1884 Dupell wrote that
he was ''p republican and worker in the good
cause" and he hoped to meet Dudley in In
the backbone that he was working for the
party and they would select Blaine or bust"
He also sent newspaper extracts OF q republican
dag-raiSing in Louisville at which he presided
and wrote that he was doing good work in
Kentucky.
Gen. Black declined to comment on the case,
saying it could speak for itself, but he said the
case was made out by the claimant. He did
not say it was expedited by Col. Dudley.

He Sends Commu nfcatt0n to the Com
missioners To-day

m1sSiOnerS To-day.
The first response made by Major Dive the
chief OF police, to the request from the Commits
| sioners for his resignation was sent to the Dis
trict building this morning, shortly after II
O'Clock, by colored messenger. Major Dive
told STAR reporter this morning that he in
tended to send a communication to the Com
missoners, but added that IL would be improper
TO say what the character OF the communica-
ton would be. When the reporter suggested
that 1t might be a resignation, the major smiled
and said Il can't say; can only tell you that it
will be very brief"
When the cofored messenger from police
headquarters reached the District Office he
found there Commissioners ebb and W heatley
and presented the sealed package TO them
Soon afterwards Commissioners Webb ieft the
oanaing, and getting In his carriage drove
Commissioner wheatley told a STAR repor,er
tnat he had received a communication from
Major Dye, but TO all efforts TO learn what the
communication was Mr.. Wheatley turned a
DEAF ear. He said that the letter had not been
submitted to the board, and until that was
done he did not think that IL would be cour-
teous TO reveal the contents. "As soon as Com
missioner Webb returns" he added. "the board
will go into session, and then the communica-
t ton OF Major Dye will be read. After that
nave no objection TO making IL public"
THE TENURE OF OFFICE QUESTION.
The rumor yesterday that Major Dye had de
termined not to resign his position as chief OF
police under the impression that charges had
been preferred against his management IL the
source OF considerable comment Some
members OF the police force have been dropped
without trial. Lieut. Ecklof, who was dropped
at the time the detectives were legislated ont
OF ofnce, 1t will be remembered, brought sui {
for his services on the plea that he was dropped
without trial, and obtained a verdict in the
Circuit Court The case was appealed to the
General Term and the District made the point
that police officer was removable at will, and
on this point the judgment was reversed. The
case will, IL is believed, be taken to the
supreme Court OF the United States. Until this
decision is reversed the tenure OF o nee is pre-
cisely like those of any other employee Of the
District-dependent upon the will Of the au-
thorities.

THREE PAN.ELECTRIC REPORTS.
Two Vindfcate the Attorney General
and One Chat Of the Republican Mem
bers Of the Committed Censure Him.

There are three reports from the House PAN
Electric telephone investigating committee
Two General Garland and the
other government officials connected with the
telephone suit, but differ in form; that drawn by
Mr. Boyle, and signed by all the democrats but
Mr. Hale entering more into the telephone
controversy. Mr.. Hale confines himself more
closely to the terms of the resolution author
izing the investigation, refraining from criti-
csm of the telephone companies.
The report drawn by Mr.. Ranney, and signed
by all the republicans, condemns the action of
the Attorney General and solicitor General
GOOde, enters into q discussion of the merits of
the telephone controversy, siding with the Bell
the Pan-Eiectric and National Improvement
companies as conspiracy. Referring TO the
Attorney General, the report says: ''The best
that can be said of him is that he lent himself
to this scheme because he got his stock for
nothing. II he was not active in it himself he
suffered his name and influence to be used by
He had not the strength to deny what his
associate asked. nor to return the stock and
cease to be an associate He had not the bold
ness TO do personally what they thought was q
fair service Tor the stock he kept. But it was
done by his department as such q thing never
was done before. The evidence is more aggres-
nary rules OF law are direct and positive, and,
unless controlled, are conclusive proof that all
ex parte government action at least was affected
by the influence of those interests or the knowI-
edge of Them" In conclusion, the report says:
constrained TO ind, that in our judgment the
proceedings would not have been asked or
allowed as they were had IL not been for the
relations Of the Pan-Electric telephone COM

head OF the Department. OF Justice"
