The Washington National Democrat, in

There is a general impression that Con-
gress fixes the rates Of pension. SO It does
IN the case Of o comparatively small num-
Der Of specific injuries such as the loss Of
an arm, or a leg, or an eye. But the
large msiority Of pensions are fixed by the
commissioner. and he can do what he
pleases with them. One Of the first things
that Corporal Tanner did was to issue an
order that no more pensions Of less than II
a month should be granted, and ne has
taken the preliminary steps to increase
81. 900 pensions that are under 81 TO "a or
more. he has increased anumber OF PEN
sions without having the pensiouer exam
amiued toascertain what his degree OF as
ability might be. One Of these pensions
was Increased from 81 a month to $50 3
month.
one Of the most glazing instances OF this
abuse, however, was the increase Of the
pension of Senator MANDERsON, who has
not been examined since 1877, at which
time The examining surgeons reported that
be vasuot entitled to an increase, from
S15 month 20 $50 a month, and ssnt him
a check for 81 500 being tie extra SIS
month for % years. Even this is not so
gross violation Of law and decency as the
decision that q dishonorable discharge IS
no bar to a pension. TANNER has also de-
cided that one corrobcIatiDg witness is all
an applicant need have.

Better Late Than Never.

PORTLAND, Ogn', April S.-A prize fight
occurred yesterday at Seattle between
William Scott and Frank Britton which
ended in row that will probably result
fatally to one or more.
During the fourth round Britton claimed
a foul. This the referee refused to allow
and ordered the fight to proceed and
BrittOn refused to go on, and the referee
gave the fight to Scott. A crowd of Brit
toms friends sprang into the ring and
bitterly protested. Hot words followed
and pistols were drawn and number of
shots fired. The row was finally quelled,
and it was found that Tom and Charley
Clancy, saloonkeepers, and James Nc
Cam, Britton's second, had been wounded
the latter fatally. A nuhber of persons
have been arrested, including Guthrie, the
referee, and warrants are out for others.
The officers are on the sharp lookout, and
the purpose is to round up all persons who
participated in the melee. Thus far it is
impossible to determine who actually fired
the shots.

The Rights of scrip Settlers.

MARQUETTE, Mich, April S.-The register
and receiver of the land Office for this dis
trict have decided in favor of scrip loca
tions on land within the indemnity limits
of old Marquette.
The Houghtons & Ontanegon railroad
grant was recently declared forfeited as
against homestead and presumption settlers
who claimed the lands in dispute by virtn
Of actual entry thereon. AS soon as they
were thrown open to entry as against scrip
settlers who had previously applied for the
lands, the local officials held that the appi-
cations of scrippers constituted an appro-
priation of the lands in dispute, which took
effect as soon as they became subject to
entry. The finding will be appealed from.
This is the third contest transferred to
Washington.
The decision Affects lands on which there
is pine estimated to be worth not less than
$2,000,000. The hearing in these cases has
occupied the attention of register and re-
ceiver from the l1th of March until the 9th
of this month, and there have been not less
than dozen lawyers engaged in conduct

CHICAGO Is AMAZED.
Her Late Municipal Election Held
to be Illegal.
BLOOD FINALLY FLOWS FREELY.
A Prize Fight at Portland, Oregon, Ends in a
ROw-Pistols Do What Fists
D3n't.

FCHICAGo, April S.-Politicians of this
ment that it is discovered the recent NUM-
cipal election in this city is Illegal, and that
it is within the power OF any citizen to
overthrow it.
This state of affairs grows out Of the
decision of the state supreme court rem
dered since the election was held. Last No
vember, the suburban towns of Brighton
Park and Cicero were, by vote OF their
people, annexed to Chicago. The village
officers of both Places however, contested
the matter, and it has since been pending
| in the courts. The decision of the court
| annexed the territory to the townships of
South and West Chicago, but did not make
it part Of the city, the power to extend
the limits of which rests entirely with the
city council Therein lies the trouble. The
law of the state provides that whenever all
of township lies within the limits of a
city, the city election shall be held the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in April,
and where a township is not all included
within the city limits, the election shall be
held on the third Tuesday in April.
! Under the decision of the supreme court
ratifying the annexation Of Brighton Park
and Cicero to the towns of West and South
| Chicago, the city does not entirely cover
the townships, and therefore the municipal
election should have been held April 23d
Moreover, the law requires that twenty
days notice of election shall be given, and
as the time is too short between this date
and the third Tuesday in April for legal no.
| tice, it seems questionable whether the
mistake can be rectified by new election
on that date
Wide fields Of speculation are open as to
the possibility of reversing the verdict of
the people in the recent political landslide.
1t is claimed that if the present Republican
administration is willing to invoke the law
it can hold over and prevent the newly
elected Democrats from taking their seats.
1t is said that Mayor Roche has consulted
the corporation counsel in regard to the
matter, but it cannot be learned that any
decision was reached.

ARE THEY FAILURES?
The New Cruisers May Carry too Much
Armour.


Armour.
WASHINGTON, April SCOPES of the
official report to the British admiralty OF
the committee on the recent English naval
maneuVres, has been received at the
navy department.
Iney nave very practical bearing on
some of the vessels in the new United States
navy. The Yorktown, Concord and Ben
nlngton are identical with the Archer class
OF the Engfisl, navy. Six of those vessels
took part in the maneuvres. Concerning
them, the committee of admirals say it is
reported UNANIMOUSLY that the armament is
too heavy, consequently the vessels are
crank, that the weights on the forecastle
are too great; and the forecastle itself is
not strong enough for the weight it has to
bear.
vi the Raccoon, the only vessel of the
class winch appears to have experienced
anything like heavy sea, it is reported
tnat WnlIe going ten or eleven knots against
a moderate swell, sea was taken on board
winch carried away everything movable
on he forecastle. 1t broke in the forehatch.
which was battened down, tore away the
IRON stanchons supporting the forecastle,
and bent the beams down three inches.
The committee is of the opinion that
much of this weight in the ewes of the
ship should be reduced, and suggest that
the bowers should be slowed further aft:
spare anchors removed to a position near
the main mast, that the two six-inch guns
on the forecastle should be replaced bv
hye-lnch guns. 1t submits, also, that to
substitute tive-inch for six-inch guns
throughout is, in view of the crank ma
ture OF these vessels, worthy of most seri-
Gus considerations.
Admiral Sir Arthur Hood, in his obser-
yatlons on the report of the committee.
says OF the Archer class: 81 quite concur in
the view that these vessels are too heavily
weighted forward, and should have pre-
ferred the substitution of five-inch guns
Tor the six-inch ones in the pilot house in
stead OF two, and anchors, especially the
sheet anchors, slowed further aft" These
CRITICISMS bear out the arguments advanced
by some OF our naval officers at the time
the contracts of construction for our gun
boats were taken.

SANKEY'S Letter.

LONDON, April S.-Henry Stanley's let.
ter to the Royal Geographical society was
read at the meeting of that body this even
ing.
The letter consists mainly of repetition
of what has already been published. He
describes at length various devices by
which the natives endeavored to prevent
the advance of the expedition. One OF
these was to dig shallow pits across the
path of the Column, and fill them with
skewers which were generally covered
with leaves. The skewers pierced the feet
of Stanley's men, inflicting wounds that in
many cases developed into dangerous sores
The men who were famed in this manner
were seldom of further service Stanley
calls the natives cunning rogues,' and
says that for the purpose of extortion they
always pretended that the country was
suffering from famine.
Stanley believes the lake he discovered
in 1876 belongs 10 the Congo.

cola was lifted from the blocks and filed
with water through the old and new king

across the blocks. The water is over the

there was no injury to the bottom. We

Mcclellan town band of outlaws, they are
creating great terror in the adjoining
county of Preston in West Virginia.
When they We're driven from their
refuge near Marklesbury, they went
across the line into West Virginia, and
are now said to be located in a house near
Glade Mills, small hamlet Reports say
there are six of them in the gang now, and
that nightly they commit some depreciation
on citizens in the vicinity.
So great is the excitement over their
presence and the robbing and victimizing
of the gang, that the neighborhood is in
despair. Local desperadoes have joined
forces with the gang, and they threaten all
kinds of vengeance on any one who inter
feres with them. The place where they
hold forth is near distillery, and this adds
to their recklessness
Appeals from the people in the neighbor-
hood have been sent to the nearest town
of any size, Kingswood, asking for help.
An organized effort is to be made to cap
ture them under command of West Virginia

OUR NEW SISTER.
The Oklahoma COmmission-The Territory
Filling Up.

AuuS Up
Especial to TIE HRRALD-E1aminer Dispatch J
WAsuINGToN, April S.-The1 commissions
recently appointed by the President to
negotiate the purchase of G, 900, 900 acres of
land in Indian territory, have been notified
by telegraph to assemble in Washington
not later than the 18th instant. AS soon
thereafter as their instruction can be given
to them, probably three or four days, they
viii leave for Muscogee, the capital Of the
Cherokee nation.
The expectation is that the commission
will EniSh its work within sixty or ninety
days at the farthest 1t is empowered to
offer the Cherokee's SIPS an acre for the
land. The only opposition to the purchase
will come, it is believed. from the cattle
syndicates which are grazing their herds
on the land which it is proposed to buy.
Their opposition, however, will be largely
neutralized by the fact that the purchase
money will be placed at interest, which
will pay the Indians $780, 600 year instead
of S25O,0OO year, which is the entire
amount received by them from the
cattlemen. Should the Indians refuse to
sell, an effort will be made in the next
Congress to take the land without paying
cent. 1t is believed, however, that the
commission will reach satisfactory con-
clusion with the Indians, and that the
100000 acres thus acquired will be thrown
open to settlement during the coming sum
mer. These, together with the 100000
acres recently purchased, constitute the
principal portion of what will. in the future,
be known as Oklahoma territory.
Before the close of the present month. it
is estimated that $4,000 persons will have
sought homes in Oklahoma, which is now a
bowling wilderness. With the additional
100000 acres added, it is believed that the
population will be trebled before the end of
the present year.

About the Savannah Fire.

SAVANNAH, Ga, April I'm addition to
the property mentioned as burned out by
last nights fire, four stores running west
from Bernard street and facing north on
BroughtOn street, were destroyed. Three
of these buildings were the property of J.
D. Weed, and were well insured. These
four buildings were occupied as a
crockery, general merchandise, and furni-
ture store and household furnishing goods
The loss is estimated at 100000; well in
sured. In all, the total number of build
ings burned is estimated at fifty. No loss
of life or serious injury to persons occurred,
and last nights dispatch covered the con
fagation so fully that little or nothing is
left unsaid.
At midnight, the total loss is estimated
at g, 900; total insurance, $500,00O.
