safes containing $4,000, The money
was being shipped by the United States
Express company to various western

Pension pecision Reversed.

WASHINGTON, May Assistant Sec
retary Bussey has reversed the decision
of the commissioner of pensions on the
appeal of Jane NJ Smalley, now Green
horn, widow of Richard T. Smalley,
Company F, Sixtieth Illinois Volunteers.
The record of the case shows that the
soldier was accidentally wounded by the
lieutenant of his company in 1862 and
died in January, 1878, of abscess of the
lungs, which, according to the medical
testimony resulted as sequence of the
wound.
The commissioner of pensions rejected
the claim on the ground that the soldier
was not in line of duty at the time he re-
ceived the wound; but the assistant
secretary in his opinion, holds that in
the absence of proof to the contrary, it
must be assumed that he was in the per-
for1nance of his duty, as it was Gus
tomary for soldiers during the war to
go on short expeditions. The decision is
in harmony with the line of precedents
of the department.

Opinion of the Governor General on
Closer Trade Relations.
T OTTAWA, Ont, May 1.-The first
session of the seventh parliament of the
Dominion of Canada, was formally
opened at O'Clock Thursday afternoon.
His eXcellency, the governor general,
proceeded in state to the parliament
house and, the members of the house of
commons having been summoned to the
senate chamber, the speech from the
throne was read.
ClosOr Trade Relation.
The speech from the throne, in which
the governor general is supposed to re-
count the reasons for summoning parlia-
ment, was delivered at o'clock. In
reference to international questions, his
eXcellency said:
MY advisers, availing themselves of
opportunities which were presented in
the closing months of last year, caused
the United States to be reminded of the
willingness of the government of Canada
to join III making efforts for the extern
sion and development of trade between
the republic and the Dominion, as well
as for the friendly adjustment of these
matters of international character which
remain unsettled.
Il am pleased to say that these repre-
sentations have resulted in an assurance
that in October next the government of
the United States will be prepared to
enter on conference to consider the
best means of arriving at practical So
luton of these important questions.
Papers relating to these subjects will be
laid before you"
His excellency continued to the effect
that under these circumstances and in
the hope that the proposed conference
may result in arrangements beneficial to
both countries, parliament will be called
on to consider the expediency of extend
ing for the present session the principal
provisions of the protocol annexed to
the Washington treaty of 1888, known as
the modus vivendi
In regard to the proposed measure to
regulate the shipment of cattle, his ex-
cellency hopes to remove all reasonable
apprehension of abuse arising in the
future in connection with the trade.

CLOSING PRICES OF PHILADELPHIA STOCKS.
WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

thursday, April lo-p H.
The strength of st. Paul was the prominent
feature of the stock market to-day. 1t was not
attended by fresh rumors of Vanderbilt control,
but there was an eager demand for the stock
which had not been satisfied at the close. In
spite of FREQUENT attempts to check the rise the
last price of the stock was nearly the best for the
dav. Its final gain was IA per cent, while tie
advance in the general market was not more than
10 per cent ON an average. The movement was
not explained fully by the fact that the stock Is
n fayorite of the bear faction because the buying
had n more substantial foundation. There are
reasons for thinking that the buying was lnstl-
gated from London, although it was not largely
for foreign account. The advance, by whatever
Cause. impaired strength to all the Granger stocks
and the Improvement in Rock Island, Burlington
and Quincy and Northwest was not less marked.
