PENSION LEGISLATION.
The President Explains why He VetOes Ger
tain Private Pension Bills.

WASHINGTON, June 2l.-In vetoing PEN
sion bill to-day the President says:
am so thoroughly tired of disappearing gifts
of public money TO individuals who, in my view.
have no right or claim TO the same, notwithstand-
pose with feeling OF relief in case where find
1t necessary to determine the merits OF the appli
advised grants Of pensions which have lately been
presented to me for approval, have spOEen of
their apparent Congressional sanction, in recog-
bills have never been submitted to a majority of
either branch of Congress but are the result Of
nominal sessions held for the express purpose OF
the respective Houses of the legis-
lative branch of Government. Thus in consi-
dering these bills have not felt that was aided
by the deliberate judgment of the Congress. and
when have deemed ii my duty to disapprove
many OF the bills presented, have hardly re-
ions of the peoples represen tatives. have not
been insensfble to the suggestion which should
influence every citizen, either in private station
generous appreciation of the services of our
countrys defenders. In reviewing the pension
legislation presented to me, many bills have
been approved upon the theory that every doubt
should be resolved in favor of the proposed ben
tirely divest myself of the idea that the public
money appropriated for pensions is the soldiers
fund, which should be devoted to the indemnif-
the Union and in the Nations service,
have worthily deserved, and who in
the day of their dependence, resulting
from such suffering are entitled to the benefac-
tions of their Government. This reelection lends
to the bestowal of pensions a kind OF sameneSs
which invites the adoption of such principles aud
regulations will exclude perverslon, as well as
insure liberal and generous application OF CRATE
full and benevolent designs. Heedlessness and
a disregard of the principle which underlies the
granting OF pensions is unfair to the wounded or
crippled soldier, who is honored in the Just recog
milton Of his GOvernment. Such man should
never find himself side by side on the pension roll
with those VINO have been tempted TO attribute
their natural ills, to which humanity is heir, to
service IN the army. Every relaxation of princi
pie in the granting OF pensions invites applica
tiOns without merit and encourages those who fOI
gaio urges honest men to become dishonest. Thus
is the demoralizing lesson taught the people that
against the public Treasury the most question:
bic eXpedients are allowable.

CARLISLE'S BOOM.

for the Presidency.
A Superintendent of Ordnance Likely to

WASHINGTON, June 2O.-Tbe New York
World prints the following to-day: There
was a dinner given to-day by the Kentucky
delegation of the Senate and House at the
Congressional Hotel at which Speaker Carl
isle presided. The occasion was one which
hordered upon Jacksonion principles, and
was marked by the absence of numerous
kinds of wine. The object of the feast was
10 talk over Kentucky politics, but before
half the courses had been served it drifted
iato general expressions for Speaker Carlisle
for the Presidency. The question was first
suggested by Senator Beck, who is himself
not eligible to the Presidency on account of
his foreign birth. The silvery haired and
tongued Breckenridge spoke for the Blue
Grass District, followed by Ex-Governor Nc.
Creary. pledging the hemp and coal belt.
Robertson, of the Elizabethtown District,
guaranteed the entire sourthern part of the
State. Mr.. Robertson being the Secretary of
the National Congressional Committee, some
months ago he began on Mr.. Carlisle's cam
paign, and has the machine well at work in
various parts of the State. Senator Black
burn was an attentive listener, but cordially
IndOrsed all that was said. Though it has
been known for more than q year that Mr.,
Carlisle's friends would at the proper time
start the Presidential boom, to-day's dinner
was the first evidence of the movement of
the organization.

A ROAD TO ALASKA.
The Report on Its Feasibility and the Ma
ture of the Country.

WASHINGTON, June 2O-The Secretary of
the Interior has just sent to Senator Sher-
man, chairman of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Affairs, letter transmitting very
complete report made by Major Powell,
superintendent of the geological survey au-
thOrized by the Senate bill introduced some
time since to facilitate the settlement and
develop the resources Of the Territory of
Alaska and to open an overland commercial
route between the United States, Asiatic
Russia and Japan. This report is very full
and is accompanied by two large maps.
Major Powell says that a railroad is feasible
over this vast extent of country, and that
the difficulties to be overcome are not greater
than have already been mastered ID
constructing the transcontinental roads al
ready IN operation. He says the distance
from Northern Montana to behring's Strait
is $500 miles. This distance for con-
venience, he divides into three parts, as fol-
lows: First, from some point on the North
ern Pacific Railroad in Montana to the head
waters of the Peace River second, from the
head waters of the Peace River to the head
waters of the Yukon; third, from the head
waters OF the Yukon TO some point On the
Behring's Sea The report then goes on to
give pretty general discussion of the region
over which the proposed route would pass,
and tells of the geological formation and
general prospectus Of the country for settle
ment and business In a general way the
recommendation is that the proposed rail-
road shall follow the beds Of streams in
= A. i
sary to span many gullies. Advantage is
taken of the report made by the explorers,
who were sent by tie Western Union Tele-
graph Company in 1865 to map out route
for that company to run its lines.

SUICIDE IN SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Boston Youth Shoots Himself Because
His Girl Rejected Him.

BosroN, June 20-Frank Dolliver, son of
Robert Il. Dolliver, tailor, of this city,
committed suicide in Sunday school at Cres-
cent Beach, yesterday. Doliver was twen-
ty-one years old. He had been paying at
tention for some months to Miss Matte
Young, pretty girl, one year his junior
He visited her during the day, proposed
marriage, and was rejected. He was terribly
cast down by her refusal, and went home,
got a revolver, and, about 4 o'clock, went to
Sunday School, where his father was teach
class. He entered the crowded chapel,
went quietly to where his father was sitting,
and said: "Good-by, father; Matte won't
have me-" Before the astonished parent
could comprehend what the young man
meant, Frank drew his pistol, and, putting
the muzzle over his heart, fired. There was
an instant commotion; girls and women
shrleked, and men were paralyzed with hor-
ror. Without firing another shot Dolliver
fell to the floor. Medical help was sent
for and he was taken home. The bullet
glanced on a rib and did not penetrate the
heart. The wound is, however, fatal, and
he is dying. The girl who Tilted him was
not present when the shot was fired. No
one in the audience was able to 60 one with
the services after the tragedy, and the school
was dismissed.

EDINBURGH, June 21-Mr. Gladstone ad-
dressed another large and enthusiastic meet
ing here to-day. In the course of his speech
he said it was irksome to always be COM
PEELED to refer to Ireland, but that this was
due to the Tories, who blocked the way so
that the Government could not get rid of the
question and proceed to the other business
OF the Empire. He relied, he added, upon
the peoples energy to clear the line now and
allow the train of progress to go on to its
destination. The Premier reiterated his de-
mand upon the Marquis of Salisbury and the
Earl of Carnarvon to answer the questions
he asked of them last Friday night, and said
he thought that Mr.. Goschen, formerly a
Liberal Minister, would not make good
Tory candidate. Contin ling, Mr.. Gladstone
said that he did not complain of the seces-
sion of Lord Harrington and Mr.. Bright.
They were a small fraction of the Liberal
party. They had abandoned its traditions.
As for speeches and the actions of Fitz-Will-
lam and Cavendish showed their descend
ants were trying to resist that policy, which,
if it had been carried out, would have saved
years of trouble.
The Land Purchase bill was applicable to
the time when he introduced it in the House
of Commons, but he had failed 10 receive the
support of Lord Harrington and others. He
did not think England and Scotland received
it so favorahly as they received the Home
Rule bill. The Cabinet were now free to re-
approach the whole subject. IL they con-
tinued in office, the Cabinet would carry out
the home rule programme with due regard
to their obligations. They desired to secure
local self-government for Ireland, with per-
feet security to the Imperial union. He had
never, he declared, concealed his ideas from
the country when a great crisis had come.
People had had the audacity to say that he
had endeavored to force this question for
ward. Last autumn, lie said, he foresaw an
Irish demand which would sweep into the
shade all other legislation. He foreshad-
owed, but did not foresee the end.
The rejection of the Home Rule bill would
not settle the question and bring peace, but
there would be the same miserable round OF
contention. He asked them to listen to
prayer reduced to the limits of reason and
safety

Information Concerning the Industry in

Special to the Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, June 21.-Boyd Winchester
Consul General of the United States to
Switzerland, has just completed some ex-
tensive researches regard to the cheese in
dustry of that country. He has seen cheese,
he says, that are more than 200 years old.
One of the customs that formerly prevailed
in the cheese regions of the country was for
the friends of a bride and bridegroom to
join in the presentation on their wedding
day Of an elaborate cheese. This cheese was
used as a family register and heirloom, on
which the births, marriages and deaths are
recorded Mr.. Winchester says that he has
seen some of these old cheeses that date back
to 1660. In many parts of Switzerland
cheese forms the principal diet of the peo-
pie. New cheese often causes sickness.
When this is the case the patient is treated
in the homeopathic fashion, with old cheese,
which generally effects cure. Dairymen in
Switzerland believe that it is good thing
to use a cow for draught purposes, especially
in the morning, and they nearly all do this,
scarcely ever employing bullooks in this
way.

complimentary remarks from a party of
friends and admirers who had dropped in
before the assembling of the Senate to pay
their respects. The General took it all in,
with frequent puffs of approval, and finally,
removing the brier-root, observed with much
emphasis:
"Well, gentlemen, you may talk as you
please about politics, and say all the fine
things about me you can, but it seems that

There is only one politician in the country,
He seems to know all about it, and is rum

With this peroration, the General resumed

and a calm. Each one looked at the other
with an expression suggestive of interroga-
ton. At last, one of the party venturIng

A SINGULAR ESCAPE.
Mysterious Disappearance of a Convict
From Hospital Bed.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, June 2O.-Adriano
Deolles is the name of a Mexican who was
condemned to be hung for murder commit
ted at Cotulla, In LaSalle County. His sem
tence was afterward commuted to term Of
imprisonment for life, and he was taken in
charge by McCulloch, the penitentiary con-
tractor, to be carried to Huntsville. The
trip was broken in this city, and Deolles,
with others, was placed in the county Jail
for night prior 10 continuing the journey
the next day. During his stay here Adriano
made determined effort to end his exist
ence, and very nearly succeeded. He dashe 4
his head against the ceiling of mis- cell with
such force as to cause a fracture. When
found the man was unconscious, and it was
thought beyond recovery. The contractor
had him conveyed to the Santa Rosa
Hospital, where he has been lying
in a critical condition for the past
month. A slight improvement has been
observable the last few days, and McCulloch
wanted to carry him to Huntsville, but the
attending physician objected to his removal.
Friday night he was seen in bed up to
1890, and with the fetters, which were
placed on him intact Saturday morning
early, to the surprise of the hospital attend
ants, his bed was found vacant, and no trace,
except broken chain, could be seen of the
murderer. 1t was evident that some one
must have conveyed file to him, and he,
by means of this instrument, had released
himself from the bonds which held him. No
one in the hospital heard his departure,
which must have taken place between 2 and
o'clock in the morning. McCulloch, with
the assistance of the county and city officers,
is diligently securing the surrounding
country in hopes of recapturing him, but no
clew to the convict's whereabouts has been
found

WASHINGTON MISCELLANY.
Pension Measures to be Combined With {
Clause for an Income Tax.

Pension Measures to be Combined With a
Clause for Income Tax.
WASHINGTON, June 2l.-The House Com
mittee on Invalid Pensions to-day agreed to
amalgamate the substitute for the Blair bill,
pensioning disabled soldiers, with the bill to
increase the rate of pensions OF soldiers who
have lost leg or arm, and attach to the
combined bills a clause imposing an income
tax to meet the expenditure involved. The
clause is patterned after the Income Tax bill
introduced In the Forty-seventh Congress
by General Ewing. Statistics collected at the
time the bill was introduced indicated that
a revenue of $63, 000, 900 per annum could be
raised in this way. If the bill can be passed
to-day under a suspension, it is expected by
the committee that it will prepare the way
for favorable action on the bill to extend
the date within which claims for arrears of
pension be filed, as the necessary revenue to
pay the claim will be available.
