WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Pension Com
missioner Lochren has submitted his
annual report to the Secretary Of the
Interior. The number of pensioners
on the rolls of the bureau are 966 012,
a net increase of SO, ,944 during the past
year. During the year q, ,715 claims for
increase of pensions and 81 $50 for ad-
ditional pension under the act of June

time lis ,22l claims for pensions and for
increase We're rejected. The claims
pending consideration July number
ed I'll $50. The amount of money paid
for pensions during the year was $780,
1904 The balance at the close of
the year was So ,437 81. The appropri-
alton for the next fiscal year, Commits
sioner Lochren states, will be ample,
and the estimates for the fiscal year
1895 amount to $l62, ,63l $50.
The Commissioner recommends the
codification of the pensi on laws, with a
few changes, that promotions be made
with regard to merit alone and in utter
disregard of influence, and the repeal
of the act of Congress providing that
no pension shall be paid to non-resi-
dent who is not citizen of the United
States, except for actual disabilities in

Lochren concludes as follows: 81 rec

A FIVE DAYS. VACATION.
A SHORT VISIT TO TIE FloURisElNe CITY
OF HARRISON, BOONE COUNTY.
The air Attended with Little Inserest-Mss KINGS
hrt Exhibit-AsFTison Coming Town.

THE TRIBUNE scribe spent five days
III Harrison since our last issue taking
III the fair and renewing old accuaint-
ances. In most part the so-called North
Ark. Dist. Fair was light affair this
year. The attendance was much limit
ed, and the exhibitions were not great;
the cause Of which was probably occa-
stoned by the hard times.
The stock show and races were not
up to that of former occasions, and by
no means did justice to the country it
was supposed to represent. In the ag-
ricultural and horticultural department
were some fair specimens of fruits and
vegetables but not nearly so good as
they might have been with the proper
effort.
The most successful and interesting
department of the fait was the art ex-
hibit which was arranged by Misses
Matte King and Mollie Coffman. Most
of the work on exhibition was done by
Miss Kings class and by Miss King
herself. The fair would have been a
great success had it been as complete
in every department as in this one.
Miss King is one of the finest artists
in the State. The most prominent
painting in the collection was a sketch
by Miss King of Maddona and child,
from paint by Rosa Bonheur. It
is valued at $50 and has been pronounc-
ed by many who ought to know as a
finer painting of this picture than is
exhibited at the St. Louis Exposition or
the Worlds Fair.
Businessin in Harrison was not rushing,
but the merchants were not complain
ing. They say their trade, although
lighter than common, is much more de-
sirable, as the credit system is practic-
ally done away with.
Harrison is just leaning back on her
dignity awaiting a railroad, which, it
seems certain, she will get at no distant
date. They have at present. however,
nothing encouraging to this effect.
Time will certainly bring Boone county
to the front for no finer country exists
than surrounds the city Of Harrison.
Our visit to Harrison was most
pleasant one. The genial newspaper
men of the enterprising city entertain
ed us very agreeably; we drank out of
the bucket at the Times office, and
thoroughly inspected the Banner sane
tum, finding things in both quarters in
progressive condition.
Harrison is a good place to enjoy
vacation.

HOLLY SPRINGS, MISS, Sept. 22.-Dur-
ing the last term Of the Circuit Court
held IN Holly Springs avery sensa-
tional burglary case was tried which
involved five of the best and most sub
stantial farmers living near Bethlehem,
Miss. These men, James Kizer, John
Kizer, q. T. Bellew, Monroe Johnson
and J. E, Farr, did not have blemish
on their characters until accused of
robbing the store of Mr.. Laws, and
when J. E. Farr, who failed to receive
his portion of the stolen goods, turned
States evidence, the community was
shocked and not willing to believe the
story.
The reason J. E. Farr gave for the
unlawful act was that, owing to the
money stringency, Mr.. Laws had re-
fused credit to anyone, and that they
were obliged to have the supplies The
four Judgment men accused and their
friends were ready to mob Farr, who
was locked up in Jail for several months
The evidence in the case was strong
and damaging, but the jury returned a
verdict of not guilty.
Mr.. Laws at once applied to the
Federal Court, on account Of the post
Office at Bethlehem being in the store
that was robbed. This was another
surprise to the respected burglars, who
were tried before Judge l.. Jarvis yes
terday. A verdict of guilty was pro-
nounced. Each man was required to
give bond. This was unlocked for by
the defendants who have yet to answer
to Uncle Sam for the serious charge
against them.

PLANT MORE FRUIT TREES.
ARKANSAS GLOWING FRUIT SHOW AT THE
GREAT COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.
A Talk with the State Commissioner of Mines,
Manufacture and Agriculture on the Subject.

It was our distinguished pleasure to
accompany Col. Vincenheller, Commits
sioner of Mines, Manufacture, and Ag-
riculture of this State, from Harrison
to Green Forest last Monday. The
Colonel is whole -souled gentleman
and good talker as we'll as an active
worker.
He is very enthusiastic over his sue
cess Of showing Arkansas fruit at the
Worlds Fair. He says our fruit so far
exhibited is all we could desire. While
it is not all it might have been, our
fruit show SO far outstrips that of any
of our competitors that there is not
much to regret.
The position of our exhibit, says the
Colonel, is the very best; situated at
the front entrance, to the right, in the
great Horticultural Hall, there is a
space of one hundred and twenty feet,
seven shelves deep, and tables six feet
wide, on which is displayed in most
tasteful manner the finest fruit of every
variety produced in our State.
1t is the first sight that greets the eye
of the visitor and is practically the only
attraction in the fruit line that occu-
pies his attention, as none can compare
with it.
This fruit was placed there by Col.
Vincenheller at his own expense and
under the strong protests of nearly
every member of our State Board and
and our Worlds Fair Commission;
they claiming that the Arkansas State
Building was the proper place to make
the display. But the Colonel, with the
courage of his convictions, followed the
dictations Of his own good judgement,
exercised his authority, and made the
exhibit in the Horticultural Hall,
where a majority of the visitors to the
great exposition will see it as an adver-
tisement, whereas, had it been placed
in our State Building, mainly visitors
from our State only would have seen it..
The Colonel says we are competing
with the world, and he proposes to
come before it to do so.
Mr.. Vincenheller is confident that
our fruit will gain first award, as the
finest exhibited.
All the efforts to advertise for fruit
and other exhibits to be sent into his
office having failed, the Colonel has
rolled up his sleeves and gone to work
himself and is making vigorous can
vass of the State in behalf of this i'm
portant matter. He is finding rich ma
terial as result of his work. He is
sacrificing both his time and salary to
bring honor and wealth to Arkansas.
Mr.. Vincenheller is practical fruit
man, owning one of the best fruit farms
in Washington county, and is engaged
in that business exclusively when not
on official duty.
Col. Vincenheller says that if the
farmers of Carroll county, as we'll as of
this entire northwestern part of the
State, could be made to know the value
Of their lands for orchards it would he
only question of short time when
this country will be whatiti is destined
the greatest country in the world that
we can encourage emigration and capt.
tai in no more effectual way than to
plant more fruit trees.

THE PRESIDENT ARRAINED.
Senator Stewart Alleges That He Has
"Influenced" Congress.

AnAuCuCCV OVuSA CSos
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-The Senate
opened this morning with the arrain-
ment of President Cleveland for alleged
violations of the Constitution in seek
ing to influence the Legislative Depart
ment of the Government.
Senator Stewart from Nevada says the
President has permitted the Secretary
of the Treasury to violate the act which
made the purchase of 4,5O 900 ounces
of silver bullion each mouth mandato-
ry by exercising an unlawful discretion
in rchasing a smaller amount. He
undertook to say that at no time since
the revolution of Charles l, in either
England or in the United State, had
any king or President openly and def.
antly disobeyed statute which he
himself declared was mandatory or al
lowed his subordinates over which he
had control to do the same thing. Was
it not time to sound the alarm If con-
stitutional liberty was of any value it
seemed to him that all friends and foes
should stand up and say to the Presi-
dent of the United States "You have
overstepped the mark; we can not af-
ford to have laws of Congress on any
question disregarded."
"Why did the President say in con-
temptuous manner" continued Mr..
Stewart, "that he would have Congress
on his hands?' Why did he say Con-
gress was obstinate and would not al
low others who knew all about it to es-
tablish the financial policy of the coun-
try? Did it arise from knowledge? In
what public document had the Presi-
dent ever shed any light on the ques-
ton of finance? If we would stop the
necessity for revolution and preserve
the equilibrium of the departments of
the Government. we must protest now.
The attention of the people must be
called to the aggression. tits the only
way to preserve the independence of
the coordinate branches of the Govern
ment.o
1t was now O'Clock and the repeal
bill was laid before the Senate as unfn-
ished business. Senator Stewart asked
permission to 60 on, saying his remarks
would apply with equal pertinence to
the repeal bill. To this there was no
objection. He then asked that his res
olution go over until tomorrow instead
of being placed on the calandar, with
out action on the resolution. He COM
menced to speak on the repeal bill, but
soon gave way to Senator Cameron, who
spoke on the silver question.
eff silver is sacrificed" said the
Pennsylvania Senator, manufactures
will be- responsible for it, and in that
case take it for granted the silver
States will revenge themselves by
throwing all their weight on the side of
reduction of the tariff. Our manufac-
lures might flourish on low silver and
high tariff; they must perish on gold
and low tariff. F"
Senator Bates, Pennsylvania, then
addressed the Senate against repeal.
When he, at o'clock, had finished,
Senator Stewart took the floor again.
In reading the letter from President
Cleveland, he criticised the word Gin
trinsic" as applied to the value of gold
and silver, and said the President did
not know what he was talking about.
Without concluding he yielded for an
executive session, after which the Sem
ate adjourned.

Learning Where They Stand.

GUTHRIE, O. T., Sept. 22.-The set
tiers upon the Cherokee Strip are begin
ming to realize their position, now that
the excitement has died away and the
sand storm abated. Every good claim
has from two to five contestants and
the poor ones are scarcely worth the
Government price of $500. The great
majority of actual settlers will, how
ever, remain and get down to work as
soon as the spectators and sight-seers
leave.
Perry is now city of $4,000 people
and several towns have been layed off
on adjoining land containing 5000 or
1000 each.
Nearly hundred buildings are up
in the town proper, wells are going
down and everything is assuming a
bushes shape. A large hotel was start
ed to-day and two banks are running.

f
The clouds are gathering about the
future of John I. Davenport. 1t
looks as if the last chapter in his
career of bulldozing and bullying
had been written, and it only re-
manned to place the word ''Finis" at
the end of the tale. Yesterday, SEN
ator David B. Hill performed an i'm
portant public duty in introducing in
the Senate a bill to abolish the Fed
eral election supervision. The limited
purpose of the present extraordinary
session may postpone the passage of
the measure a few weeks. But the
end cannot be far off. When the reg
ular session OF Congress opens in De-
cember. this bill will assuredly be one
of the first taken up. and its passage
is a foregone conclusion. The Demo
cratic party is pledged to ii. 1t is a
case where sense of duty and the in
stinct of self preservation are blended
in one impulse. The repeal act should
be passed with all the more speed on
account of the narrow Democratic
majority in the Senate. The death
of a Democratic Senator might in
several cases result in a change in the
political complexion OF the body, and
then the reign of riot and fraud,
which Davenport has conducted in
New York for nearly a uuarter of a
century, might be indefinitely per-
petuated. Indeed, we believe the
people would be particularly well
pleased if Senator Hills bill were
passed before the present session adj
iourned.
