HOTEL BARRIERS WHO DESIRE TO BE EXCEPTED
FROM THE SUNDAY ORDER.
Mr.. George b. Corkhill, as counsel for the
Hotel BARRIERS association, to-day addressed
the Commissioners, requesting them to sus-
pend the order concerning the testing of the
law concerning barber shops ON Sunday until it
can be decided without any complications
The leading hotel proprietors, Mr. Corkhill
says, insist that in accordance with the terms
of their leases, the shops must be kept open on
Sunday, as is the custom in every city in the
United States, for the accommodation of their
guests. and that, If necessary, they will run the
shops themselves and cancel all their leases
He suggests a suspension of the order for thirty
DAYS, until he can get answers from cOmmunf.
says he will then agree that "A test case may be
made on the law claimed to be in force in the
District.
Mr.. Corkhiil has also sent to district assembly
proprietors, respectively, of the Arlington, VIII
lard's, Ebbitt, Riggs, Hamilton, Wormley's
National, Metropolitan, Harris and st. James
hotels, in which they set forth the desirabilitv
OF modifying the order respecting barber shops
on sunday, SO far as the hotel shops are con.
cerned, mot to be able to accommodate our
guests as they expect the letter says, "would
be serious interference with our business, and
II your organization compels your members to
leave US, our leases must be cancelled and men
put in charge who can perform this work."
Mr.. Corkhill and Mr. J.W. Dabney, represent t.
ing the Hotel BARRIERS association, had an in
terview with the Commissioners and Major
Dye this afternoon. 1t was finally agreed that
the police, but will be allowed to remain open
as usual pending the decision of test case to
be preferred by Mr.. Corkhill and Major Dye
and certified to the Court in General Term.
This case will be brought to determine whether
the law is constitutional or not.

The Pension Office Investigation.

The Pension Office investigation.
GEN. BLACK BELIEVES A PENSION WAS
GRANTED MARK ROBINSON ON POLITICAL
GROUNDS.
The Senate committee on public expendi-
lures to-day resumed the examination OF PEN
sion Commissioner Black. The case of Mark
Robinson, of Indiana, who was granted pen
sion in 1881, was taken up.
Gen Black said he believed the pension was
granted on political grounds. The papers
showed that Senator Harrison and Gov. Fos-
ter had urged the pension, and that the case be
made special and had set forth the political
services of Robinson. The case was made spec
ial and the pension allowed. Gen. Black said
that in his opinion the right to a pension was
never made out by the evidence; that fourteen
years after discharge from the armv the claim
for a pension was fled and no evidence cover
ing the claimants condition during these years
was presented. Gen. Black regarded the case
as one that was allowed through political favor
itism.
Adjourned until tomorrow.
