WASHINGTON. April 26.-Assistant Secre-
tary Bussey to-day rendered q number of
pension decisions, of which four are of gen.
eral Importance. In the case of William
Evans, late of Company H, Fifty-fourth
Ohio Volunteers, the former action of the
Commissioner of Pensions is reversed, and
the claimant is allowed o pension. 1t ap-
peara from the testimony in the case that
enc of Evans's comrades, while playing,
threw piece of iron, which struck him on
the leg, causing a compound fracture, which
has remained q running sore ever since.
The former action was taken on the ground
that the injury was not received while IN

liar action was taken. Jones. while In Camp
Chase Ohio, in 1855, was precipitated over

leg broken above the ankle by soldier
coming up behind him and throwing his
whole weight upon his leg. crushing the
bone. About six months later he accidental
ly fell while carrying pail of water from 9
stream, and broke his leg again. The claim
was rejected by the pension officers on the

Dairy Farming in New south Wales.

WASHINGTON, APP ril 26.-Consul Griffin,
at Sidney, n. S. W.. in a report to the State
Department.. says that the recent introduce
ton of American appliances for the manu-
facture of butter and cheese has given an
impetus to dairy farming in New South
Wales. The absurd quarantine laws
against the importation of cattle have OPP
Grated seriously against any Improvement
in the condition of the cattle. and there Is
an sgitation for the removal of the restric-
tons. Pleuro-pneumonia made it's appear
ance in some districts, but the process of
incubation has been successfully used to
check its spread and the process is s being
of butter-making is becoming very popu-
lar, and is found to be far more satisfactory
and profitable than the old method. The
consul says. in conclusion, that the new
protective duty upon imported dairy. prod
ucts is likely to bring about a result direct
ly opposite to that which was intended. as
before the duty was imposed the exports
were frequently in excess of the imports.

FATAL H.ATERSTRIW FELD.
Huns and Negroes Engage ln Deadly
 Conflict.

HAvERsTRAw, N. Y., June 25.-Joncs' Point has been the scene of a serious riot between gang of colored men and one of Iungarians, the result of which was the shooting of four Hungarians by the colored men. The color line had been the occasion of bitter feeling, which found vent in two Huns attempting to drown a negro.
 The latter's friend saw the attempt and went to his rescue. While a num- Der of Hungarians gathered to do battle for their friend, a colored man named James Morton deliberately drew his re- volver and fired seven shots, bringing down four of the Hungarians, one of whom was instantly killed.
 Then the fight became general and knives and pistols were freely used. Word was immediately sent to Haver- straw, and Officer Springsteen and Coroner McGowan visited the scene, when Clark Ryder, Walker Dean, Frank Long and Walter Davis were arrested and held as witnesses, while Morton, the man who did the shooting, made his escape.
 Sheriff Shankey has been telegraphed for, as still further trouble Is anticipated.

General simon Cameron's Strength
 Almost Entirely Exhaustsd.
 LANCASTER, Pa., June 25.-The tenac- tty with which he clings-to life surprises the physicians of Gen. Cameron.
 Last evening they stated that their dis tinguished patient was at the extreme limit of endurance. With the exception of two or three teaspoonfuls of milk he has taken no nourishment since Thurs day, and his strength Is almost entirely exhausted.
 He is now unable to move the tongue or swallow.
 As on Sunday the general now appears conscious during all his waking hours. He lies, when awake, with his eyes open, and seems to observe anything of special moment that may go on around him.
 No answer has been received from Sena- tor J. D. Cameron, who is somewhere in Scotland. Another cablegram summon ing the senator has been sent.
