FOSTER TO FITCH.
CorrespoDdenoo Over the Examination of
 Lohn |. DaYanuork,

C0rrespoDdeno0 Over the Exa m iuRtIOn Of
 John I. Davenport
 WASHINGTON, Dec L.-Secretary of th' Treasury Foster has sent c letter to Con gressman Fitch, of New York, chairman of the committee Investigating the work inRs of the Federal Election laws. It is part of the correspondence that has been in progress for some days over the exam ination of the accounts of Chief Super visor John L Davenport, of New York.
 The Secretary says that he does not de sire to continue the correspondence now that they quite understand each other on the law in question. He takes it tha to appear in court when MT. Davenport presents his accounts and resist their al lowance if any illegal charges are mad' therein against the United States.
 Also, that Mir. Fitch is equally wei satisfied that under the ruling of tht Supreme Court, in the Jones case, ther' is at least 8 serious doubt about the righ of the Treasury Department to review such accounts after they have been al lowed by the Circuit Court, except il case of clear and unequivocal mistakes.
 "Under such circumstances" says tht Secretary, 'T respectfully submit it Ii part of prudence and wisdom to resort tc the courts in the first instance. If, afte the hearing, you shall be of the opinion that further inquiry is demanded, or re quired to protect the United States, will listen with great pleasure to anl suggestions you may see fit to mak' looking to that end and to the end thai any further relief that shall be in m, power may be granted"

Verdict of Murder. First Degree. Against
 the Schenectady Murderer.
 SCHENECTADY, N. Y., Dec. 1.-The trial of Cornel Loth, charged with the brutal murder of Mrs. Etta Demacsek in this city on June IA, was concluded at a special term of the Court of Oyer and Terminer yesterday afternoon. Five witnesses positively identified Loth as the man they saw running from the Demacsek house after the murder.
 Loth, notwithstanding the fact that he had previously made confession ot the crime, took the stand and stoutly denied his guilt. He admitted that the husband of the murdered woman had asked him to kill her, and had paid him money in anticipation of his doing so, but he did not do it.
 He said the deed was committed by a man named Leichman, who lived in New York, but who had since fled to Hungary. The case was submitted to the jury al p. m., and at 3:85 they returned yer dict of guilty of murder in the first degree.
 Sentence will be passed to- morrow.

 Important Point.

The Prosecuting Committee Gains an
 Important Point.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The prosecutin g committee in the Presbyterian heresJ trial gained an important point at { critical point in the proceedings ofy ester day.
 The order of the day was the consider. ation of the formal demurrer of Dr. Briggs to the six remaining charges, the two most essential charges, four and seven, having been stricken out Tuesday by Dr. Briggs friends after long and bitter fight.
 The attempt was made still further to weaken the case by striking out the last paragraph which specifies what was offered in evidence by the trial. The at tempt failed after the hottest fight ever experienced in Presbyte tery and by q vote of 70 to 6S.
 On the vote the ministers were tied, and the elders vote decided the question Several conversions from Briggs to anti Briggs were noted in the vote.

PENSION COMMISSIONERS REPORT Estimated Deficiency for Present Fisca
 Year SIC, sos 62I.

Estimated DoncltnCy TOT EFoS0hL
 Year SIC, 6oS. .621.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The annual re- port of Gen. Green B. Raum, commis- sioner of pensions, shows that there were on the pension rolls June 80, 1892, S76, = 06S pensioners, an increase during the year of 199, 90S.
 There were added to the rolls during the year 22,937 new pensioners and 3, 47Y pensioners previously dropped were restored to the lists. During the year 25, ,306 persons were dropped from the rolls.
 The total amount expended for pen sions during the fiscal year was $l89, O35, SIS.
 For the present fiscal year $144, 956, COG is appropriated, and, taking the cost of the pension allowances during the first four months of this fiscal year as a basis of calculation, tho Commissioner esti- mates that a deficiency appropriation of $10, 50S, 621 will be necessary to supple ment this years appropriation.
 An estimate of $165, 900, 900 is submit ted for the next fiscal year, but Commis- sioner Raum says that if as many allow Rnces of pensions shall be made during the fiscal year to come as during the fis- cal year ended June 80 last this amount will not be large enough.
 He says, however, that it is difficult tc forecast pension payments so far in ad vance and that as Congress will be 1T session, no embarrassment will arise Ii his successor, in the light of actual cos of the work for the first six months O. the next year, finds that further ap- propriation will be needed.
 Under the Dependent and Disability pension act 920, 957 claims have been fileC of which number 403, ,859 have been al lowed. The pension payments under tho law up to Sept. 80, 1892, amounted t. $75, 494, 443.
 The Commissioner heartily commend this Disability law.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
embers of the Next Congress
 Assembling Slowly.
DEMANDS FOR AN EXTRA SESSION

Pension Commissioner Raum's Annual Report-An Estimated Deficiency fol the Present Fiscal Year of Over Ten Million DolIars-FaIrChIId for Secretary of the Trsasury.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Senators and Representatives are arriving slowly, and. although Congress convenes next Mon day, hardly one-third of the members of the National Legislature are here. How ever, everything is being put in readines s at the Capitol.
 The big white pile at the end of the avenue has been thoroughly overhauled during the recess. The Senate chamber and the hall of the House of Representa- tives have been improved wherever de- fects needed remedy.
 Some decided changes have been made in the hitherto very defective ventilation of both buildings, and it is hoped that the improved plumbing of the vast mar ble structure on Capitol Hill will hereaf- ter give less cause for complaint.
 It is noticeable that most of the South erners and friends of Speaker Crisp are loud in their demands for an extra ses. sion, while the older members from thE other sections prefer to learn how near is tine threatened deficit in the Treasury before they declare themselves on the extra session question.
 The first day of the new session will be devoted to the reading of the Presidents message, provided Mir. Harrison can fin, ish it in time. The Senate will b brought face to face at once with tn Anti Option bill, and there Is mucf speculation as to it's fate. The first weel of Congress, however, will not be pro ductive of much work.

How TO raise n.ue Grass.

In talking with reporter OF the Sioux
City journal. d. II. Talbot said
ut has long Seen held that blue grass
will not flourish in this section OF Iowa
except on the low lands. THIS spring the
theory is being exploded. have been
watching the grass, and find that from
the patches which were sown it is
spreading all over the country and driv-
ing out the ether varieties.
81 find from observation that it grows
best on land where cattle and horses are
pastured and where the ground is
beaten down by their hoofs. 1t seems to
take better to firm ground"
Mr.. Talbot's theory is borne out by the
testimony Of others. In one of the GRAPH-
les exchanges, the Iowa Homestead, we
read an article on blue grass short
tine ago that we would have published
had it not been too long. The writer
said that blue grass could be made to
grow best by sowing it on sod wild
grass in pasture early in the spring
and then pasturing down close. His
theory was the same as Mr.. TalbOt's-
that it grew best when packed into the
earth by the footprints OF stock. When
once started it soon catches and drives
out the other grass. II the wild grass is
allowed to get too high the blue grass
will not grow This spring would have
been splendid time to have made few
experiments, as moisture is so abundant

CATARRHAL, DYSPEPSIA.
A D1sease that is Very Prevalent
In City and Country.

A Disease that is Very Prevalent
In City and Country.
The symptoms Of catarrhal dyspepsia
are: Coated tongue, pain or heavy feel
ing in the stomach, sour stomach, belch-
ing gas, dizzy head, sometimes headache,
feelings, loss of appetite, pal
piiation Of the heart and irregnlarity OF
the bowels.
For this condition find Pe-ru-na to be
an admirable remedy. In all cases 1t
brings prompt lelief to the painful symp-
toms, and in large per cent Of the cases
it makes a permanent cure. Pe-ru-na
soothes the inflamed mucous surface, and
thus strikes at the root of the disease.
In cases where the Inflammation has
been SO severe and continued as to pro-
duce extreme irritability Of the stomach,
the remedy may be taken in small doses
first, diluted in water; but, as soon as the
improvement is sufficient to permit the
full dose to be taken undiluted, it is a
better way, and the cure is much more
rapid. Each bottle of Pe-ru-na is accom-
panied with complete directions for use.
Kept by every druggist in the United
States. II your druggist does not hap
pen to have it in stock, he will order it
for you.
A valuable pamphlet of thirty-two
pages, setting forth in detail the treat
ment Of catarrh, coughs, colds, sore
throat, bronchitis and consumption, III
every phase Of the disease, will be sent
free to any address by The Pe-ru-na Drug
Manufacturing Co. Of Columbus, Ohio.
