The Pensions question.


WASHINGTON, February 6.--In an
ticipation of the passage of the bill by
the Senate which contemplates the in
crease in widows pensions from s. to
SD per month, claimants are already
inquiring Of the pension office as to
what forms the applications are neces-
sary to be filed what fees are to be
paid attorneys for collecting the in
crease of pension; in what manner old
certificates are TO be returned, etc. =,
etc. To give pensioners a correct idea
Of the situation the Commissioner Of
Pensions makes the statement that in
case the bill now pending in the Senate
becomes law it is his intention to adj
judicate new claims without the pro-
duction Of any evidence, and without
the surrender of the old certificates.
either to the office or to third parties.
The payment Of the additional rate
will simply be matter Of detail, no
more SO than the payment by pension
agents at different agencies Of sums
due on any certificate at the present
time, and he desires that no corre-
spondence be referred to the office on
the subject, as the result would be to
greatly embarraSs and delay the opera
lions of the office, to the detriment of
the claimants themselves.

A Synagogue ON Fire.
by telegraph to the Dispatch. !


New YORK, February 6.-The new
synagogue of the Congregation B'Nai
Jeshurun, in Madison avenue near Six
ty-fifth street, caught fire from an over
heated furnace in the cellar at 9 O'Clock
this morning-at the hour when the
doors were opened to admit the congre-
CATION for Sabbath services. The rabbi,
DR.. Henry 5. Jacobs, while putting
on his robes discovered the fire, and so
quick was its progress that the Sacred
Scrolls in the ark had to be abandoned
to their fate. A general alarm-call
summoned the entire available force of
firemen, and the fire was put out as
quickly as it had started. 1t did $685.
600 damage to the building and furni-
ture. Some Of the valuable records of
the congregation, which is the second
oldest in New York, and only last
spring moved up from its old temple in
West Thirty-fourth street, were lost.
Had the fire occurred half an hour later
than it did disastrous loss Of life must
have resulted, as the church was filed
with dense smoke in an instant.

Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch ]
FEBRUARY 6, 1886.
The Stanton Chamber Of Commerce
held its first annual meeting last night.
The secretary's report and financial ex-
hibit, as does the increased member
ship during the year, show the institu-
ton to be in a prosperous condition,
and that it has rendered valuable SER
vice to the business interests here.
Us. Cochran, ESQ.,, the late president,
declined reelection because he desired
that the responsibilities Of Office should
be changed, and thus bring out the
talent and energy Of members. Though
desired to reconsider his purpose he
declined to do so. Mr.. W. II. IL.
Lynn, one of our most active and use
full businessmen, was chosen preSi-
dent without opposition. Henry Hutch
inson and Frank Alexander were elect
ed respectively first and second vice
presidents; Isaac Witt, Charles E.
Haines, NJ. N. Bradley, S. Loeb, G. l..
Weller, F. W. Hager, Reeves Gait,
and Alexander Hart were chosen d.
rectors. J. c. Shields was reelected
secretary.
Communications recei red from trades
associations Of other cities respecting a
partial repeal Of the laws governing the
inspection of flour called out lengthy
debate, the question coming up on a
report from the Committee on Com
merce. to which they had been referred.
The result was the adoption Of resolu-
ton requesting the senator and dele
gates in the Legislature from Augusta
to oppose any interference with the law
as it exists.
A charter will be applied for and the
Chamber of Commerce become a per-
manent institution. The secretary re-
ported that the accumulation Of a library

Especial telegram TO the Dispatch
WASHINGTON, February .6.-The
Republican senator's intended to have
a caucus to-day on the matter in con-
troversy between them and the PreSi-
dent. but a canvass made at the instance
Of Edmunds disclosed the fact that
several Republicans were unwilling to
60 into caucus again on that subject,
and it was abandoned. One Senator
said he was tired of caucusing, A
number Of them declined because they
desire that the Plat resolution shall
be discussed in open Senate when It is
reported by the Judiciary Committee,
and they feared that the caucus might
decide to have it considered in execu-
tive session.
There is report that is talked about,
and credited to some extent in diplo-
matte circles, that a gentleman who
was at one time in the foreign service
Of our Government, aud who has long
been a resident Of Europe, has been
here to use his good offices for the re-
moyal of any unpleasant feeling be-
tween the two Governments growing
out Of the Kelley matter. 1t is said
that his representations nave been at
least partially successful. AS this is
a diplomatic affair it is not possible to
verify it now.

The disastrous flood here has not
abated. An immense volume of water
continually pouring in from the neigh
boring river has damaged the property
in the city until the loss is now esti-
mated at several million dollars. What
was on Mon day one of the most enter
pIising and prosperous cities in the
country is now to large extent laid
waste by the flood. Many beautiful
buildings are damaged beyond repair.
There were many instances Of intense
suffering throughout the long and
tedious hours. Last night the Their
mometer indicated 33I degrees below
zero in the city. The wood-yards were
flooded and could not be entered. This
caused great suffering, as the poorer
people Of the city consume soft wood
altogether and rely upon these wood
yards for their supply. The factories
in the city have had to close on ac-
count of the flood and the workmen
discharged are now dependent upon
public charity.
Large and valuable buildings on the
principal streets have been under.

move out for fear they would collapse.

smith has sent q communication to Ed
win Hudson. superintendent of police,
saying that for INSTRUMENTATION in re-
fusing to report yesterday for orders as
directed, he was suspended from office.

the latter refuse to recognize the valid
ity Of the Governors action in remoy-
ing them from office.
When the Police Commissioners were
informed of the suspension of the SUI
perintendent Of police and the appoint
ment ofanother they had long consul
tation with their attorneys. and then
sent letter to Mayor Smith depreca-
ting violent measures, but firmly main
tanning their rights to control the po-
lice. and announcing that they would
stoutly maintain their rights until a
competent court passes upon the ques-
ton. They suggested that the mayor
at once make application to the Supreme
Court for a writ of quo W0,raHto.
promising to DO all in their power to
hasten the hearing.
The mayor replied to the note from
the Commissioners by stating that he
shares their desire to have the diff
ferences speedily adjusted, and that
after consultation with the city solicit
tor he has decided to request the State
Attorney General on Monday to APP
ply to the Supreme Court for a writ Of
quo aca1TdHtO as a means Of deciding
the legality Of the present Police Com
mission. 1t is expected that prompt
action will be had.
In the mean time the Commissioners
hold the fort. and Moore is making no
effort to exercise authority over the
