Commissioner Black.
Y.sslSgTox, June l6.-Commissioner
,f Pensions Black Was further examined
ov Ina Committee on Public Expenditures
odsy. Nothing was eiiCitad, however, to
Drovs that the Pension 0iee had been run
|as political machine, although another
rase which the Commissioner thought was
passed on account ct political influence,
was brought up and discussed. The lnVes-
iga,ion will probably continue until the
Ind of the session, without developing sDy-
hing sensational.
The Commissioner appears to lay great
nress upon sll applications endorsed oY
Senator's and Representatives, especially
when the endorsements Feter 10 any way
politics, while the Congrsssneu OF both
parties do not consider these matters Sc
|iOusly, or rather in q mstter-ot-tsct way
Land Forfeiture Bill.
WsB!xGToS June l6-Judge Payson.
Of Illinois one of the Oldest, most active
| and influential members of the House
Committee on Public Lands, and Senator
Van Wyck, who hss taken q very ProDl-
nent part in the debate snd work upon the
measure in the Senate, assured reporter
|,o-dav that the Northern Pacific Forfeiture
| bill, which passed the Senate yesterday,
NIL be passed by the House st this session.
Toe House ComRiuee will disagree to the
oil as it passed the Senate and ask tor
q conference. Then it will ssk Tor protee.
| Gou 10 setIlers under ths forfeiture and
some minor matters, which the Senate ls
Wiling to grant, but will refuse to make
Any further forfeiture. There seems to be
very general and decided opinion that
the bill will be adopted with whatever Ter
ther amendments the eonfersnee may
agree 10 at this session.
