Exasperated by frequent delays, Senator
Voorhees, made a final effort on Saturday to get
positive declaration from Secretary Villas con-
corning the chances of the formers political
friends. Villas, as is his wont. made a stited
reply, thoroughly noncommittal. whereupon
Voorhees, lost all patience and demanded prom.

ported that Voorhees, told Villas Indiana had
helped to put the administration IN power, and
In doing this certain promises had been made to

Proceedings of the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27-Mr. Breckinridge, Of
Arkansas, called up the adverse report of the
committee on manufactures upon the resolution
directing the Secretary of the Treasury to in
stitue an investigation into the New York sugar
trust, and after brief discussion the resolution
was laid upon the table.
Mr.. Matson, of Indiana, fir ON the committee
on invalid pepsi ons reported, adversely, a reso-
luton rscitrg the zone Hundred Day Clrcular'
issued by General Black, Com missioner of Pen
sionE, and directing the committee to inquire
whether such a circular was issued, and If so,
whether any pension claims have been rejected
tanned therein Mr.. Matson stated that such q
circular had been issued. and that its effect had
been salutary. Many claims had been vigorous
ly prosecuted and allowed, which otherwise
would have remained Enacted upon on account
of want of evidence
Mr.. Mason. OF Illinois, regarded the issuing Of
the circular as a usurpation on the part of the
Commissioner of Pensions. The circular in so
many words, said to the claimants thar unless
their claims were perfected in one hundred days
they would be dismissed. The Commissioner
had actually taken tho place Of Congress, and
had enacted q statute of limitations, and in one
department of his office. between 700 and 800
cases were dismissed because the claimants had
failed to perfect heir evidence within hun
dred days. 1t was true that a could be
opened at any time upon the filing OF additional
proof. but that fact should have been stated by
the Com missioner in his circular letter.
Mr.. Matson said that the adverse report was
based on the ground that the subject was ex-
hausted. If the resolution adopted, moth
ing further could be learned. The Commission
err had stated that he did issue the circular in
cases pending for years and in where re-
peated calls had been made for evidence with
out response. He had further stated that
the effect of this action had been TO stimulate
claimants. SO that . large number had been in
duced to prosecute their claims. He MR. Mat
son did not think the Commissioner had ex-
ccsded bis authority. The resolution was Ia
bled-ysas 119, nays 60
After the int 'oduction Of q number OF bills,
the House adjourned.

the pension should be from s. to s12 month,
according TO the degree ofincapaciiy.
Dir. Berry argued that the striking out OF the
word totally would MAKE the bill simply
service pension BILL and would practically open
the doors to all who had served IN the Union
army, and who were not now on thu pension
rolls.
Mr.. Henderson declared himself in favor of
the amendment though he rather preferred the
passage OF the bill it stood.
Mr. Davis opposed the amendment He said
the Grand Army of the Republic had discussed
the whole question last summer in St Louis.
and had formulated the bill introduced by the
Senator from Nebraska MIR. Manderson,
not because it was ALI they entitled to, but
because they supposed that, in the present tenn
per OF puC,ic feeling, at least in political
party. it was The best they could obtain. For
that reason the committee pensions felt ex-
ceedingiy loath to disturb the bill in it's priDc-
pies or In its phraseology.
Mr. Plumb asked whether person who was
bed-ridden s1d one who could work Ave days
out of six would be put the same footing
and receive each SIP month.
Mr. Davis replied that there was doubt
about that
Mr.. Plumb remarked that that only illustrated
of last session had been vetoed partly because
OF its indefinite character and as to the doubt of
what It's proper construction should be. He
understood the Senator from Minnesota to say
there was to be no grading of pensions under

all soldiers of the Union army who were then

After further discussion the amendment was

Mr.. Plumb also moved to strike out the words,

Without disposing Of this amendment. the bill

Present Condition of the Live Stock Owned
by Hoosier State Farmers.
rpecial to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
WAsHINGToN, Feb. 27-In his report upon the
humber and value Of farm animals. etc. the
Commissioner of Agriculture says of Indiana:
'.The scarcity of feed. occasioned by drought.
caused many of the farmers to sell off
portion of their stock, in order to winter the
mainder in better condition Where the stock
were suitable. they were fatted and sold for
slaughter, thereby placing many more on the
market than would have been sold had the con-
ditions been otherwise There no appreciable
increase in the number of horses, the slight adj
vance in prices being dine to the fact that q large
per cent. of the young horses are from high
grade or imported sires. Horses have been free
from contagious diseases during the past year.
AT this time all classes of live stock are appar-
emily in a good healthy condition. 1t is evident
that more economy Is being practiced by farmers
In regard to the methods of feeding stock; grind
ing the grain and feeding with cut hay or fod-
der is coming rapidly into favor Diseases of
various kinds have prevailed among the hogs
during the past summer and fall; yet the loss
was not rs heavy as in the .season of 1856. Farm
ers not keeping many hogs over this win
ter; this is account OF high price of corn, but
the number fatted and sold or slaughtered at
home will not aggregate much less than the
number similarly disposed of in 1886"
