PENSION yETOES.
President Cleveland Criticized for Iii
Whining Manin.


WAsulNGToN, July THE House to-
day took up the message vetOing the bill
granting pension to Catharine Nc
Carthy. Mr.. Matson moved to refer it to
the committee on invalid pensions. Mr.
Browne criticized the action of the presi-
dent and invoked Gods mercy on the
man who had the heart to veto Il bill for
the relief of the widow of man
who died in the line of duty to his
country. He sarcastically reflected
upon the manner in which an eX-
perienced soldier, the commauder-n-
chlef of the army, treated his.COmradel.
His eXceilency belonged to that class of
men who, during the war were afraid of
nothing but danger but now he stood
vigorously armed cap pie, with vetUes in
his hand, between unfortunate soldiers
and the treasury of the United States.
President Cleveland would go down to
pOsterity as the great American Ubicctor.
Mr. Conger of Iowa resented the Ian
guage used by the president as throwing
surs upon the motives Ol Congress and Is
insulting Union soldiers.
Mr.. Cannon of Illinois, reAd in 'he
vetoes the story that while Mr.. Cleveland
was president there would be no further
pension legislation. There were great
questions in this country calling for the
attention of the executive, yet he brushed
them all aside, and appeared anxious TO
cater to nobody except that little knot
that came from the solid South. He
wanted to get their applause.
The motion to instruct Was lOst-yeHs
rs, nays l2S, and the message was refer
red to the committee on invalid pensions.

Talking About Adjournment
Mr. Morrison to-day said the date of the
adjournment of Congress depended upon
Mr.. Randall. If he cared to call up his
tariff bill he could do it and thu, prolong
the session. Mr. Randall SAID he was not
responsible for his tariff bill, he had per
formed his duty when he introduced it
and it remained for the ways and means
committee to take such action as it saw
fit in the matter. Mr.. Edmunds said to-
day he feared the day of adjournment
