BLACK AND DUDLEY.

The Commissioners Cornered-How Repub-
licans Look at the Charges.
Dpecal to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 22-Commissioner of
Pensions Black. after great deal of talk and
writing about what he could do in investiga-
tion in the way of proving that his predecessor.
Colonel Dudley, used the Office for political pur-
poses, finds himself cornered. After three
months of warning and time in which to prepare
himself General Black has been unable to show
any proof of Colonel Dudley's having used the
machinery of the Pension Office to advance the
Interests of the Republican party. None Of the
members of the Senate committee investigating
the charge made by Black believe that he will
prove what he has alleged. A Republican mem
Der of the committee put the case in about the
shape most Republicans look at 10, when he said,
to-day:
"If Colonel Dudley did use his official powers
TO advance the party, and cid discriminate be-
tween pension claimants on account of their pol
ltics, hope it will be proven, and that he will
be placarded: and if he did do this and left a
record in the Pension Office going to show it, as
General Black declares, I am doubly anxious
that the fact be proven, SO that such stupid
In the first place, don't believe in having any
enc connected with the Pension Office who would
In the least discriminate between claimants on
account of their politics; and then / don't be-
lieve in putting man In Office with mind SO
obtuse as to make record, and an official one,
of his political actions I don't believe any of
Blacks charges true, if for no other reason
than because he claims that he can prove ii
from official flea Of the Office, and take Colonel
Dudley to be man too wise to set deadfall
for himself"
notable feature of this investigation has
been number of pension employees who have
stood about in public places and proclaimed their
confidence in General Black making good his
charges These employees have gone so far in
this as to make some people believe that they re-
seived instructions to do as they are doing.

Secretary Manning were read lin executive SEES
sion tonight, declining to furnish the papers in
the cases of Collector Wells, of Vermont, and
Surveyor Martin, of San Francisco, both sus-
pended.
Senator Logan caused to be read a letter writ
ten several months ago by John Oberly chair
man of the Democratic State committee Of

Logan asked that the letter be printed and re-
ferred to the committee on civil-service reform.
1t is understood to be his purpose to show that
Mr.. Palmer was not an offensive partisan. He
is said to have been led to this course at this
time by the fact that some erroneous statements
have been published regarding his [Loean's
connection with the confirmation of Postmaster

Appropriation Bills Delayed.
to the lndiananolia journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March pa number of old
legislators have predicted that the present fiscal
year will expire before all Of the appropriation
bills before Congress are passed They say they
have never seen greater delay with these meas-
ures, and do not understand it. The commit
tees are two months ahead of the usual time in
reporting rheir bills, and the House is as much
behind in acting upon them The great gain of
time is, of course, in House action. Almost any
appropriation bill can be completed by com
mittee within ten days, but single bill some
times occupies three or four weeks before the
House, so that it will be seen that measures of
political Importance are given precedence, while
those of business Importance and of direct inter
est to the country are held back.

No More Pension Legislation,

Special IHulAnapOIIS
WASHINGTON, March pa member of the
House committee on invalid pensions says that
there will be no more general pension legislation
by this Congress. 1t was intended by the COM
mittee he says-that is the maiority-that the
increase of widows pensions should be sufi-

to the belief that pension legislation under this
administration will be confined exclusively to
political purposes. The Mexican pension bill
appears to be in fair way for disposition in the
House, but it has been agreed by the majority
that it shall not be passed
