THE WAY OF PENSION WORK. Reports Rushed Through the Senate
 at Lightning Speed.

at Lightning Speed.
 WASHINGTON, June 27.-Of all the pension bills reported to the Senate during the pres ent session Mir. Sawyer has himself reported more than one-half Senator Mitchell of Pennsylvania, chairman of the Committee on Pensions, has been absent through i'll health and the work of the committee has fallen in- to the hands of Senator Sawyer. While MT. Sawyer has reported fayorab1y on so many bills he has not reported adversely upon single one, MT. Sawyer does the work of the whole committee, generally speaking. The committee as whole never undertake the investigation of a pension claim. The bills are referred to individual members for inves- tigation and tEe committee simply endorses the report of the investigating member. MT. Sawyer in his boundless sympathy with the old soldiers of the republic and their heirs has been eager to undertake consideration of all the pension claims that came in his way and bis fellow members of the committee have been perfectly willing that he should be kept busy. Consequently the Senator has em- ployed staff of assistants to help him with the work. The Senate refers the bills to the Committee on Pensions. The committee re- fers to MT. Sawyer and he distributes them among his assistants, whom he generally pays out of his own pocket, to investigate and report. One of these assistants MT. Sawyer is alleged to be especially proud of His qualifications for making these Investigations and reports, the Senator thinks, are without equal. This highly qualified assistant was at one time medical man of some promise and came into prominence as an expert in the case of Guiteau. On the adjudication of the Guiteau expert the pension bills referred to MT. Sawyer are favorably reported to the Senate and rushed through without debate at the rate of from three to five per minute.

 spatter of rain which was quickly succeeded
 by sunshine there was nothing to hinder the programme of sports. In the forenoon, the

AN OUTRAGE IN MEXICO.

Influence With the authorities Causes
 an American to be Imprisoned for
 an Ofense Committed Within Amer
 lean Jurisdiction.
 PAso DEL NoRTE, Mex, June 27.-The To- cal authorities of this city have proceeded to deal in very summary manner with an American citizen which has produced bad blood and from the present outlook will re- suit in diplomatic correspondence between the two republics. The origin of the trou- ble is a newspaper controversy of a virulent character. A. K. Cutting, an American, publishes paper in this city which is printed in Spanish and English. In one of his issues Cutting took occasion to excoriate Amidis Medina, Mexican of notoriously bad character, for which Medina had Cutting arrested and the local court, not content with compelling Cutting to publish retraction, threw him into jail. Cutting finally securing his release crossed over to Fl Paso and above his own signature in last Sundays edition of the Fl Paso Herald published a bitter at tack upon Medina, supplementing it with the statement that he was willing to give Medina satisfaction in any manner. Medina, who is influential, had Cutting arrested when he crossed the river and thrown into dungeon. This occurred several days ago and Cutting seeing no hope of speedy release asserted his nationality and claimed the protection of the American consul. Brigham, the consul, i'm
 nediately insisted upon his release and was promised that Cutting would be releas- ed and permitted to remain at the house of a friend until the matter could be adjudicat- ed. The Mexican authorities, however, did not fulfill their promise and allowed Cutting to remain in his cell. Consul Brigham certained this fact yesterday and made prompt demand upon the authorities for the release of Cutting, declaring that unless his demand was complied with he would lay the case before the State department. The case was discussed in the Alcaldes court yester- day, when it was clearly demonstrated that Cutting was imprisoned for the second of fense to gratify personal malice. This of fense if such it can be called was committed on the American side of the river out of the jurisdiction of the Mexican courts, yet the Mexican authorities are holding Cutting. The case is aggravated by the fact that other Americans have been subjected to similar in dignities illegally and to gratify the hatred of Mexican enemies.

THE LAKE SHORE STRIKERS Ready For a Desperate Battle In The
 Var dR TOsnaY

Yards To-Day
 CHICAGO, June 27-The Lake Shore com pany to-day observed the Sabbath as far at least as manual labor was concerned and the strikers pursued the same course. The peo- pie, however, did not understand the cause of the armistice and as a result the yards for the greater part of the day were tenanted by hundreds of people. They stood about in groups and talked about the advantages of the company and disadvantages of the strik- CTS. The usual force of police officers was on the ground. The only act committed by the switchmen to-day was the overturning of box car across the Lake Shore tracks in The Milwaukee 6 St. Paul en- zine which pushed the Lake Shore train Saturday and was captured from the strikers by the Hyde Park police was left at South Chicago on Saturday night The police on capturing drew the water from the tanks without putting out the fire, con- sequently burning the fues and crown sheet of the engine, which cannot be repaired for less than $1, 900. The strikers to-day se- cured Belt Line engine and going to Chica- go h1tched on to the engine and brought it to the Milwaukee shops. There are now thirty cars of merchandise in the Root street yard, thirty at Twelfth street and about two hundred at Englewood. The company will endeavor to move these cars to morrow. The strikers intimate that they will not. It has been claimed that the switchmen in Buffale, Cleveland, Detroit and Toledo were not in sympathy with the strikers. This is proved to be untrue from the fact that the strikers to-day received dispatches from the switch men at these points in which they ex- pressed willingness to assist the Chicago men by going out a strike.
 A Slight Fire at Warner,s.
 A small fire occurred in the cellar of the G. F. Warner Manufacturing company on East street at three o'clock this morning. The department was called out by an alarm from box 55 and the fire was quickly extinguished with no damage to speak of. The cellar where the fire occurred was used for the storage of mould ers' sand, and there were few barrels and boxes there which were burned before the fire was extinguished.
