MINOR MATTERS.
An Effort To he Made Pass the Allentown
Bill Over the Prssidens's Veto.

An Effort To BE Made TO Pass the Allentown
Bill Over the Presidents Veto.
Special to tho Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, June 4-Represe sentative Sow
den, OF Pennsylvania, who says the bill for a
public building ct his home, Allentown. was
vetoed by the President because he refused to
support the Mills bill, is extremely happy to-
night The committee on public buildings and
grounds unanimously agreed. to-day, to report
Sowdsn's bill and recommend its passage over
the Veto Mr.. Sowden said to the Journal cor.
respondent tonight that although il required
two-thirds vote to pass bill over veto, he
had not the least doubt his measure would be
successful, as he had enough personal friends
among the Mills men to insure its success The
committee takes the ground, in reporting the
bill. that it is In better condition to investi-
gate the facts and arrive st the merits OF
measure of this kind than the chief executive.
An Injunction of secrecy was placed upon the
proceedings at the close Of the session Of the
committee, ie being the intention to keep IFS
action from the public until the bill Is ready to
be reported. aud to not report 1t until it was
learned when its consideration could be secured
in the House. 90 that any organized opposition
to IL would DO defeated. But tho news was too
good for some Of the members of the COMMITTEES,
and it has leaked out There will undoubtedly
be exciting fight over the measure whom il IL
called ND, as the friends Of the administration
will challenge it's passage The Senate, accord
ing to Senator Pugh, Of Alabama, will pass the
bill IL it comes over from the House.

He Refuses to q One-Armed Soldier the PIT
tancs Provided for Him by Law.
Washington Special.
There is great deal Of fun ct the expense OF
the House Democrats. who spent 9 good part OF
Friday nights session in resenting On insult
which they declared had bean offered by the
committee on invalid pensions to Commissioned
Black. The committee had adopted as its own
report of the Senate committee 10 the case OF
7. T. Cssamer. late private in Company Z.
Tenth Michigan Veteran Volunteers The
claimant was deprived Of the use OF his right
arm BY q gunshot wound. Under the act OF
August. 1856. he was entitled to an increase OF
pension to $50 per month, and was 90 rated oy
. board of medical examiners. On Feb. 10,
1883. Black denied the claimants application In
. letter which contained this language: 'It may
be that you cannot do manual labor with the
wounded arm, but there is no reason given why
you Can do no work with the oths. hand and
arm"
In some comments on Blacks action the com
mlttee said:
This testimony, which Is oficialj and ample.
Ia supplemented by the evidence OF near neigh
bors and intimate acquaintances. As matter
Of fact it Is difficult TO conceive q case coming
more completely within the plain provisions OF
-
of $50 a month TO the soldier who, within its
limitations, shall have lost at or above
the elbow. or been totally disabled in the same,
and it 10 still more difficult to conceive the in-
difference or the audacity Of the official who,
when the psnsioner, having fruitlessy furnished
the complete evidence above given. asks the
privilege of further examination to substantiate
his claims, denies TO him such privileee.'
In this impertinent communication 20 this
crippled soldier the Commissioner fails to give
any reason why he presumes to restrict and rem
der imperative the plain provision OF the law
enacted for this soldiers benefit. No justifying
reason can be given. The law provides the
specific pension for the specific disability which
is fully proven to exist, and 90 proven by all the
official and lay testimony Ia the case. The Com
missioner assumes the prerogativo OF disregard
ing the law in irs application TO o point 90 clear
that it can recsivs elucidation Dy argument
or statement Of fact, and in thus refusing to
