Special to the Gazette,
WASHINGTON, june 11.-Quay has sud-
denly discovered he has not as much in
fiuenoe in the senate as he
thought he had. He was telling every
one yesterday his man Bailey was sure to
be sargeant-at-arms of the senate. The
fact, as disclosed in the caucus, that he
has no influence with his colleagues was
startling revelation to him, and he is
very indignant at the caucus action
Hot words are said to have passed
between Quay and Sherman at the
caucus last night, and the story was that
they grew so angry and excited they had
TO be separated TO avoid the exchange OF
blows. Quay asserts Sherman was
pledged toS vote for Bailey and violated
his word supporting Valentine. Besides
Sherman, it is alleged that Teller, Allison,
Davis, Mcmillan, zones and Stewart all
pledged either Cameron or Quay to sup
port Bailey, but IN order to strike down
the latter finally went against Bailey,
who was regarded as Quay's personal
candidate. This, SAID man who pro-
fesses to know the inside, is the begin
ming of the end.
Rx-soLDIERs' PENSIONS.
The house this morning took up for
consideration the conference report on
the general pension bill. The vote was
l19 to rs, and,the report will, of course,
be agreed to. There is no telling how.
much money! the bill Will take.
but it will be -an enormous
amount. The bill as it stands will give
pension of from Sc to ST. month to every
soldier or sailor of the late war who was
disabled through any cause, or who be-
became disabled thereafter. An ex- .
soldier who has his leg cut off in, saw
mill ten or twenty years from now will
be entitled to a pension. Widows of all
soldiers whose marriage antedate the
passage of the bill VIII be entitled to
pension of Sl2 month. There is no
basis for an estimate of the cost of this
bill, but from time to time nearly every
man who ever served in the army will
become pensioner.
