Congressional.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3l.-The Senate
this morning took up the House bill
for the repeal Of the Sherman act.
WHlcott OF Colorado spoke against it.
After considerable persifage in which
he twitted the Senators on a change
Of their views on the silver question
to suit this ideas Of the administra-
ton, he declared that Hills speech
might have been as we'll made against
silver as he knew free coinage wus
Impossible by separate act under
this administration. He quoted the
former utterances Of Voorhees, to
show the Inconsistency OF that SEN
ator on the silver question. He de-
clared that Voorhees, and Sherman
for the first time were in accord, and
that Sherman would be, in fact,
chairman OF the Finance Committee
instead Of Voorhees,. All the Sena-
tors knew Cleveland would veto an
independent silver coinage measure,
and limited that il this bill passed the
free silver men might vote against
protection in any form. 1t seemed
unacconutable in a panic that banks
should object to an increase in the
volume OF money; their plan was
that after repeal TO ask aud probably
get an issue of hundred millions
in gold bonds. The speaker then
proceeded to controvert the argument
that the over-proouctiou Of silver in
the world had yielded a big profit,
He showed in the case of LeadvIlle
that one hundred and four and hall
millions OF silver had been produced
ut cost Of one hundred and twenty
one and half millions, the loss be
ing changed to only a fair profit BY
the vaiuo of the products. If only
the silver States were concerned they
would acquiseco without protest,
but it was a national question affect.
ing oil parts OF the country.
At the close OF Walcott's speech
Mills gave notice that he would speak
on the repeal on Wednesday, then
Caffrey Of Louisiana spoke in favor of
unconditional repeal.
PETER tried to call up bis resolu-
tion touching the condition of New
York banks, but the Senate, by vote
OF 35 to 81, referred it to the Finance
Committee.

CONCERNING PENSIONS.
UyDESERVING Recipients BEING
WEEDED OUT RIPIDLY.
shake-up In the Pension Office - Civil
Service "Reform" Apily illustrated
ether Washington Matters.

WASHINGTON, -,rn THE first i'm
portant developments in the pension policy
of the new administration occurred yester-
day. when steps were taken by Deputy
Commissioner Murphy TO secure informa-
ton relative to pensioners who should be
stricken from the roll. While care will be
taken not to deprive anyone who has a
fairly good claim to be on the rolls, az
cfTort will be made to weed out persons
who arc clearly not entitled to the benefits
Of our pension laws.
A circular letter, signed by Mr.. Murphy,
was sent to all the special agents in the
field, directing them to make inquiry
wherever they m;y be concerning fraud on
the part of the pensioners. The idea is tc
collect the local information in various
neighborhoods regarding pensioners, and
in small towns it is thought there will bt
no difficulty in learning of any irregular
ities or illegalities known in the locality tC
exist At the same time agents must b'
careful in their inquiries and not endeavoI
to stir up malicious gossip. Postmaster:
will also be asked to furnish any informa
ton they may learn regarding fraudulent
pensioners.
Hereafter congressional call slips will b
recognized as heretofore at the pension o.

President Cleveland, with Commodore
Erben and the members of the reviewing
party boarded the Dolphin at 1890, and as
the vessel left the dock the presidential
flag, an American eagle surrounded by IL
stars on blue field, was hoisted. The
Dolphin's signal gun was fired indicating
That the Review Had Begun,
and IL was answered by one Of the Man
tonomah's big guns. This was the signal
for all the ships of the fleet to muster their
men and be ready to salute the president
as he passed up between the double line of
warships.
When the Dolphin's bow was abreast
the stern of each vessel bugle blast was
the signal to present arms, and at the
same time a salute of 81 guns was fred
from each vessel in turn as the president
passed. After the Dolphin had gone by
the entire feet President Cleveland held a
levee ON board the Dolphin, and officers Of
the other ships left them to pay their re-
spects to him.
When the president finally landed at
Ninety-sixth street there was an immense
saavo of artillery, when each vessel fired
simultaneously the national salute of 81
gums.

Perfume from Pompel,.

A gentleman recently in this city,
says the st. Louis Globe-Democrat, had
quite q curiosity--a box of perfume
from Pompeii. The box was Of marble
or .alabaster, about two inches square
and closely scaled. When opened it
was found TO be full of n sort of poma-
tum or grease; hard, but very fragrant.
The smell somewhat resembled that of
roses, but was much more fragrant.
What the perfume was made of cannot
be conjectured now, but it is singular
that men i'm the nineteenth century
should be able TO regalc their noses
