AN INVENTORS PLEA.

He Says Justice Is Withheld Because tho
vanderbilts Oppose Him.
WASHINGTON, March 2-[Special MIR.
Dewitt c. Haskins, of New York, had an
informal hearing to-day before the House
Committee on Patents in support of his
bill now pending before that committee
to extend his patent, claimed as an improve
ment IN the art of tunneling. His in
vention is being used in the tunnel under
North river between the New York and
Jersey City shores.
Although quorum of the committee was
lacking, Mr.. Haskins submitted statement
for the benefit of the members present He
stated that three-fourths of the tunnel is
now completed, and unless his patent is
extended the work may languish or another
party may come in and reap the benefit
of his labor and experience. He said he
had encountered determined and continual
opposition from certain railroad companies,
and he openly charged that the Vanderbi1ts,
Chauncey Depew and other metropolitan
railroad magnates had thrown every OBJ
stacle in his way of the origin and construc-
tion of the tunnel
He said he spent large sums of money ex-
perimenting with his patent in connection
with the tunnel, and he appealed to the
members of the committee to report his ap-
plication for an extension favorably. An
other hearing will be accorded him before
any action is taken.

of the Constitution? Broken down and
scattered in every direction. Now and
then can be heard study Democratic
voice in Congress or ON the stump crying
out against paternalism and re1terating the
doctrines of our fathers; but under the
leadership of these modern political war
riors they are relegated to the rear, and we
are told with ponderous phraseology that
Democracy is 10 per cent ad valorem! No
wonder the party ties sit lightly upon the
modern Democrat Spoils of Office and ad
valoremw
If the bolting Cleveland wing of the New
York Democracy is admitted to the floor of
the Chicago Convention well see the grand
spectacle of the representatives of the En-
pire State solennly presenting two distinct
modern types-Spoils-of-Of Office Hill and Ad
Valorem Cleveland Perhaps the great
national Democratic heart will not throb
responsive to this. Perhaps there will be
wise and courageous men on that floor who
will fairly comprehend the political situa-
tion here, and, comprehending, will steer
clear of the Scylla of H i'll and the Charybdis
of Cleveland by selecting national candi-
date uncontaminated by contact with
New York politics. We shall see.
Cleveland. Silence Causing Contempt
There is distinct sentiment of regret ex-
pressed by many of Cleveland's old-time
supporters that he could besmirch his great
reputation by maintaining silence when a
prompt word from him would have closed
up the Democratic ranks. He had it in his
power to stay the revolt and would not
speak. He has pursued the same tactics
that he had adopted at the Mayoralty cleo
tion, when the fate of the Demo-
cratic ticket was supposed to be
trembling in the balance, and when the en-
tire State was reused to meet the issues of
the force bill and the Billion-Dollar Con-
gress. He never said a word. The same
men who are now acting in his name and in
terests were then acting outside of the
party. He was not only silent in that
struggle, but was even suspected of voting
the mongrel ticket. The magnificent re-
suits hid his negative position from public
view. But he lost ground in this
State which he could not recover
in lifetime. There are thousands
of anti Cleveland men in New York
to-day who were his friends before that
election. The private and independent
citizen may bolt his party control, but
never the leader and hope to lead again.
He will never be forgiven and can never
again be trusted. For that reason, if for no
other, Cleveland's name was unmentioned
and unmentionable in convention of the
representatives of the Democratic party OF
New York. For that reason, if for no
other, his nomination at Chicago would be-
yond question place this State in the Re-
publican electoral column.

THERE'S MILLIONS IN 1T.
Big Money for Estimates That
Show Raum's Liberality-The Fortifica-
tion Bill to Occupy Middle Ground

Big Money for Pensions-Estimates That
tion Bill to Occupy q Middle Ground
in Expenditures.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-[Speciaz. THE
fortifcation bill and the pension appropria-
tion bill are rapidly nearing completion and
will probably be ready for presentation to
the House in less than week. The tortii-
cation bill will not be a large one,
aud will only carry such items of
expenditures for purposes of coast and
harbor defense as they deemed absolutely
necessary and indispensable. The amount
50, 900 while that of last yesr was
81, 232, 900 and of the preceding year only
81, ,233 900. 1t is likely that the coming
bill will in amount occupy middle ground
between the last named and the law for the
current year.
In Commissioner Raum's estimates. from
which the forthcoming pension bill will nee
essarilv be based in large degree, he cal
culates that S147, 900, 900 will be required for
the payment of pensions for the coming fis-
cal year, whereas the payments at the pres
ent time are averaging but little over S10,-
600, 900 per month, from which it would ap-
pear Unat not over SlIO,UUU,UOU WOulu De
needed for the whole of next year, instead
of s147, 100000
In the first eight months of the last fiscal
year about ss7, 900, 900 we're expended, while
on the first eight months of the present fiscal
year the amount was $S3, 000 000-a decrease
of $4, 900, 600, and yet, Notwithstanding that
all the data at hand goes to show conclusive
ly that no more will be required for PEN
sions next year than has been required this
year, or that s125, 900, 900 will be amply
sufficient on the basis of expenditures al
ready made this year, Mr. Raum estimates
for an increase of S14, 900, 900 over and above
this years regular appropriation of s133,-
600. 900. which of itself will probably be
So, 900, 600 or $40, ,0OO 600 in excess of the re-
quirements.

CARLISLE. March 2.-[pecial 1-Captain
R. H. Pratt, General Superintendent of the
Indian school here, in speaking of the
action of Congress in striking out the 81, 200
periodical allowance, said he was satisfied
with whatever was done; that he was merely
the servant of the United States, and when
it chose to remove him it could be done.
Continuing, he said:
1t may be best that this appropriation be
cut off, This Indian institution Is right and
the more they try to kill it the stronger it
will grow. Congressman Mansur used the
word graduates" in saying that 70 of the
Indians went back to savagery. Now, if he
means that these joined their tribes and re-
lapsed into their original state, l deny it,
and ask for proofs. Many untrue statements
have been circulated about the school, and
Congressmen are picking up everything
that would have tendency to injure it.
Last September pupils were alleged to have
come here, and ran away the next month.
When near the Agency one of them sat down
on railroad track and was killed. Now the
truth of the story is that the boys left
Catholic institution in Indiana, and girl
now in the schoorhere had a talk with them
To her they stated that the cause of their
leaving was the hard work, insufficient food,
etc. there.
