CATION Concerning the Re-Rating Matter.
Special 90 the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. July 23.-The Secretary of
the Interior has finally announced definitely
that he proposes to comply with Commits
sioner Tanners request to have thorough
Investigation of the manner in which pen
sions have been re-rated and cases made
special in that Office. 1t is probable that
the investigation will be in the nature of q
comparative analysis of the methods in
vogue for a year past and it is more than
likely that it will show that while the
present Commissioner has adopted liberal
policy he has not, in any instance.
gone outside the strict letter of
the law, nor has he been more
reckless in the metter of making cases spe-
cial and of re-radng old pensions than was
his predecessor. In spite of the daily howls
which have been kept mp in the mugwump
papers against Mr.. Tanner, there is not the
faintest ground for the statement, printed
broadcast, that the President is dissatisfied
with his management OF the Office. 1t is
probable that there would have been no
commission and no investigation but for
the persistence of Mr.. Tanner himself. who.
while bearing up without murmur against
the abuse which has been poured upon him,
has considered it due to his superior officers
that the public should have chance to
know just what has been done since the
beginning of his administration, about four
months ago. Mr.. Tanner has not the slight
est fear as to the result Of this investiga-
tian; in tact, he courts it, and is con-
vinced. as are others who have knowledge
of the methods now prevailing there. that
ali examination will show vast improve
ment over the management of the same Of
flee during Mr.. Cleveland's administration.
Mr.. Tanner, instead of treating an appli-
can't for a pension as a fraud and an inn
postor at the outset, has started in with
the idea that every man who fought for his
country has right to ask for a pension,
and to prove his claim to that pension un-
der the law. Each, from the humbiest TO
the most powerful. has been given an OPP
portunity to present his case. and even in
those instances where special facilities
were granted, the poor man without an at
torney received just as much consideration
as the member of Congress when he sue
ceeded in reaching the Commissioners ear.

EXPORT FREIGHT RATES.

They Must BE Stated Explicitly, and i'm Con-
fornity with Law.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-The Interstate
commerce Commission, o-day, in an opin-
ion by Commissioner Schoonmaker, an
nounced its decision in the case of tlge New
York Produce Exchange against the New
York Central d Hudson River Railroad
Company and others. The case relates to
inland and ocean export rates. and in-
wolves questions of how they should be
made, and of unjust discrimination in tho
inland proportion. The opinion states:
"From Nov. 4. 1887, to Feb. 20. 1888. the trunk
lines so-called. under resolutions of their
association. made through export rates
of which the inland proportion accepted
by them was. at the port of New York.
10 cents or more per hundred pounds
less on like traffic than the published tariff
rates charged at the same time TO the same
port. Held: That the discrepancy between
the proportion of the through rate acceI ted
and the established tariffs for seaboard
consignments for the same inland carriage
is not shown to have been justified by any
circumstances tending 20 show that IL was
just or proper, aud that 1t must, therefore,
be deemed an unjust and unlawful discrim-
ination as against the transportation termi-
mating at that port. 1t Is essential that
any method for making rates should be
practicable, and not afford cover for dis
elimination or injustice. The only prac-
ticable mode yet devised formaking through
export rates, as appears by past expe-
rience, is to add TO the established inland
rates from the interior To the seaboard the
current ocean rates. Under the amend
ments of March s. 1889. to the
statute requiring ten days pre-
vious notice of advances and three
days previous notice of reductions in rates.

written to the Queen urging her to exact

Use that upon her. marriage she will re-
nounce all her rights to the succession to
the throne. In the event of the two sons of
the Prince of Wales both dying without
ISSUE the children of the Princess Louise
would be in the direct line of succession to
the crown. This is by no means such a re-
mote contingency as may, at first sight, ap-
pear. and the fact that it is quite within
the bounds of possibility that Lord Fife
may, in course of time, be the father of
monarch, justifes its discussion. Such a
denouement. should it ever be brought
about, would be regarded with anything
but favor by the more influential of the old
nobility, who, as great lady pithily put
it yesterday, have no ide1 of being ruled
over by one of Flies children. Meanwhile,
the official arrangements for the wedding
are published to-day.

POSITION OF THE PARNELLITEs.

Not Particularly Interested in the Question
of Royal Grants-Win Follow Gladstone.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, July 23.-The position which
Mr.. Parnell and his contingent of Irish
Home-rulers in the House of Commons are
likely to assume toward the proposal to in
crease the allowances to members of the
royal family is subject of much specula-
tion here.
Mr.. Parnell was interviewed, to-day, and
said that Mr.. Sexton and himself were, in
this matter, influenced very largely by the
great respect they entertained for
MIR. Gladstone, whom they were
anxious to support in all mat
ters not affecting the welfare of Ireland.
For his own part Mr.. Parnell says he has no
strong feelings on this question, and his
only concern is to make his action on the
subject of the grants entirely harmonic
with his ideas of autonomy and local self
government. Viewing the matter in this
light. and cono odering the question as one
of purely English politics. he naturally will
throw his influence upon the side most ac-
ceptable to the people of England. and he
is willing to accept Gladstone as the ex-
pOnent of public opinion in England.
He does not imagine that solid Irish
vote in favor of the grants will
have the effect to ALLEVIATE the sympathies
of Irishmen in any quarter of the globe, for
although it may be true that the Irish have
not been reared to adore the Queen or the
English royal family. they are too sensible
to insist that their prejudices should be

best interests. This whole business is,
however, so entirely apart from his own
main object in life, the Improvement of the
condition of Ireland, that he is entirely
willing to be guided by his desire to CO.
operate with Mr.. Gladstone. for whom the
Irish are filled with a gratitude they can
never repent of for his kindness to the Irish
and his sacrifices for Ireland.
