duction claimed applied to the expenses of
the two Houses, which are always that

that $217, 900 of it was from the reduc.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Senator Cullom
to-day reported favorably from the Com.
mittee on Territories bill to provide for
certain expenses OF the Territory of Utah
which were covered in the Appropriation
bill recently vetoed by Governor Murray.

and the Treasurer OF the, Territory to pay
certain items in the Appropriation bill
which are necessary to keep courts and
Territorial institutions running. It also
makes provision for the payment to the
United States by the Territory OF the in
debtedness, some $3.50, 900 or $500, 900,
due the general government for money ad.
vanced to the Territory. It also provides
that the appropriation for the Deseret
University shall not be available until the
management of that institution is reorgan.

to be appointed by the Governor.

The House Committee ON Invalid PEN
sions have resolved to attempt to pass
over the Presidents veto the bill granting
a pension to Andrew J. Wilson, of New
York, and Mr.. Sawyer to-day reported the
measure back to the House, giving notice
that it would be up tomorrow. It appears
from the report Of the committee that Will
son was drafted into the army notwith-
standing his allegation that he was suffer-
ing from deafness and an eye complaint. In
the service he Contracted rheumatism and
kidney disease, on which he based
his application for pension. His applica-
tion was rejected by the Pension Bureau
on the grounds that he was disabled before
he enlisted which was also the reason for
the veto. The committee take the posi-
ton that under the circumstances the
government is prevented from settling up
the claims Of prior disa bility. Mr.. Taulbee,
who is a member OF the Invalid Pension
Committee, also reports back the bill grant
ing a pension to C. w. Tiller with the re-
commendation that it be passed over the
Presidents veto. This is the case of q
Louisville policeman, whose application
for pension as dependent parent was de-
MED by the Pension Bureau on the ground
that the dependency OF claimant was dis
established,

THE NEW YORK PRESS,

The ITCIid says that the position taken by
Senator Logan in regard to open sessions
represents the sentiment of the American
people. 1t commends the report of Labor
Commissioner Wright as document abound
ing In suggestions that are sound and we'll
stated, though scarcely to be called new. 1t
claims that Mr.. Garland's announced inten-
tion Of getting rid Of his telephone stock as
soon as the Congressional investigation Is
over indicates the wisdom Of its advice
in the premises.
The Times says that "Mr. Randall is more
of a protectionist than Democrat, aud more
of an enemy to Morrison and Carlisle than
either, and the revenue reformers must act
on this fact If they expect to accomplish any
thing" without fully crediting Mr.. Logan
for the sincerity of his action concerning ex-
ecutive sessions, 1t admits that he 'assuredly
points the way which Mr.. Edmunds must fol-
low II he does not wish to wreck the party of
which he has assumed the leadership"
The Tribune continues its onslaught upon
Mr.. Garland In connection with the tele-
phone spectators and scouts as absurd the
charges of the Albany Argus that he Is the
victim of "blackmailing of1ice-seekers. 1t
looks upon Commissioner Wrght's report as
"singularly Instructive one, and, as such,
that II will prove of value to the working
classes in better acquainting them with mat
ters pertaining to their own interests. II
speaks Of MIR. oberly, the new Ciyll-Servlce
Commissioner, as "A "spolshunting scab."
The Hcjdid congratulates Senator Logan
upon declaring for open sessions and sug-
gests that II is time for Mr.. Cleveland to
pull up his curtains" As to Secretary
Manning bond call 'it has come just in the
nick Of time TO prevent the threatened pinch
and men who are carrying stocks on bor
rowed money-that Is on margihs-havC
cause to bless the Treasury Department"
The sun thinks that Dorman 81. Eaton's
commondatlon of Mr.. Lyman as "a thorough
going Republican" is a strange qualification,
from civilservice reform point of view, foI
Cyil-Sorvice Commissioner, and adds that
thousands Of such offensive partisans are still
In Office at Washington. Speaking of the re-
port of the Fortilcations Board It says: "Oui
representatives should heed these earnest and
forciblo warnings, aud see that our great
commercial centres are placed beyond the
reach OF even the most powerful enemy
