A VERY DUBIOUS OUTLOOK.
Results of the Foster Failure
Will Be Far Reaching.
FACTORIES CLOSE DOWN,
Several Hundred Mechanics Are
Thrown Out OF Employment.
Assignee Gormley Says the Ex-secretary',
Liabilities WIN Probably Reach
81, 0OO, 900 with Assets Very Much
Less Than That Sum.

FosToRIA, o., May 27.-The situation
here today as far as the Foster failure is
concerned shows little change. There is
a general feeling of uneasiness IN all the
branches of trade and Governor Foster
said this morning he had no further
statement to make. The Mechanics
Savings bank, on which the run started
yesterday reports more deposits than
withdrawals this morning. and on Mon
day expects to open as a general bank
ing company. Money is very tight, which
may force to the wall, firms which might
otherwise pull through.
The diversified nature of Governor
Fosters failure makes the outlook ex-
ceedingly dubious and places the results
far beyond the range Of prediction.
Three window glass companies and the
brass and iron works viii close down to-
night, and several hundred mechanics
viii be thrown out of employment. The
deposits of. the Foster bank are about
$500, 900.
The governor bears up well under the
calamity. He succeeded in sleeping six
hours last night, the first time in the
week. He has been deluged with tele-
grams and letters Of sympathy from
prominent people from all parts of the
country.
Assignee Gormley says that Fosters
affairs are in a worse shape than sup
posed. His liabilities are from $500, 600 TO
81 600 600; the assets are much less.

II WILL SAVE MILLIONS.
An Important Pension Decision
from Interior Department.
RAUM's ORDER REPEALED.
An Act of Congress Cannot Be Super
ceded by Order or Practice.
The Ruling Necessitates a Return to the
Language of the Statute and Is in
the Case of One Bennett Who
Was Sunstruck.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Probably the
most important pension decision ever
sent from the Office of the secretary of the
interior to the commissioner of pensions
was filed today. 1t is believed by those
higher in authority in the pension bu-
rea that it will reduce the payment of
pensions under the act of June, 1880, be-
tween S15, 100000 and $50, 900, 600. 1t in
wolves the repeal of the order passed by
General Raum and approved by Assistant
Secretary Bussey and returns to the Ian
guage OF the statute requiring disability
not of service, the origin to be such as to
prevent applicant from earning support
by manual labor. The decision is in the
case of one Bennett who sought pen
sion under the old law alleging that while
in the service at Raleigh, N. c., he was
Frustrated by sunstroke which resulted
in partial deafness in both ears. The D.
plication was denied on the ground that
while the applicant has slight deafness
it is not of sufficient severity to warra Mt
any rating. Bennett subsequently APP
piled Tor and received a pension of $12 a
month under the act of June 81, 1890.
''Incapacity to Lsrform manual labor"
says the secretary, (which is the foun-
dation to the right to pension under the
act of June 81, 1890, fixes an entirely diff
fereut standard of disability from that
contained in the revised statutes covering
injuries of service origin, disabilities in
Cured while in actual service and in
capacity coming upon the applicant long
after service ceased, and is made by law
to stand upon entirely different footing.
Those incurred during service and in line
of duty are pensionable without regard
to capacity to earn support and are
graded without reference to this condi-
ton. Disabilities resulting from causes
other than service origin are only pen
sionable when incapacity to labor joins
with incapacity to earn support, and
grades the rating dependent upon these
two conditions. When by order No. 1874
ISSUED by Commissioner Raum) it de-
clared disabilities under the act of June
81, 1890, should be rated as if of service
origin, the very principle which gov
erned the rating of the act of June 27,
1890, displaced the rule applicable to the
different act substituted. The decision is
signed by John NJ. Reynolds, assistant
secretary of the interior.
Secretary Smith, in another commune
cation to the commissioner of pensions,
says it is hardly necessary to present ar
gument or support by authority the
proposition that neither the secretary nor
commissioner can by order Or practic-
supersede an act of Congress, and he,
therefore, directs that practise of the
Office conform to the law.

THE GRADE WAS MADE.
An Exciting Scene on a Farm Near
Boise.
A Row Between the Owner of a Farm
and a Party of Union Pacific
Graders.

BOISE CITY, Ida, May 27.-tSpecial.-
An exciting scene occurred today on the
farm of M. F. Ely, near this city. Ely
had defied the Union Pacific graders to
enter his place until the matter pending
in the courts, involving the right of way
through his place, is settled. This morn
ing about seventy-five graders attempted
to enter his farm, when Eby and his son
appeared, armed with revolvers and rifles,
and drove the men away without firing a
shot.
In short while the graders returned,
headed by II. F. Hill, engineer in charge.
The latter covered Eby with rifle, while
the men tore down the fences and entered.
Eby came to town and swore out war
rant for the arrest of Hill and the major
ity of graders.
Before officer could reach the farm the
grade was nearly completed. 1t was built
through space formerly occupied by Eby's
barn, which the graders unceremoniously
removed. Hill and the graders gave bonds
pending hearing.
Ely holds the fort tonight. He says
he will kill the first grader who attempts
to re-enter the place. He will apply for
restraining order tomorrow.

ChIorofor,n in Chicago.
CHICAGO, May PIT. G. Wheelwright,
ex-mayor of Tacoma, Wash, committed
suicide at his room at the home of Edwin
Williams, 2, 935 Groveland avenue, a week
ago last Thursday night. This was con-
ceded by relatives this evening in the face
OF the coroner's verdict that Death was
accidental His family and relatives in
this city attempted to keep the fact of his
death from the public, and his less init
mate friends were told that he died sud-
denly from natural causes. Thursday,
May IS, the coroner was notified by w.
e. Wills, nephew of the deceased, and
an inquest was held the same day. Only
relatives and the Williams family were
present and the proceedings have been
kept secret.
Mr. Wheelwright had lived at the house
for several weeks, and on the evening of
May IL when he went to his room he was
restless and his actions peculiar. He left
the house for short time, when he re-
turned and went directly to his bedroom.
Next morning when he was called for
breakfast there was no response. The
door was forced and his dead body
found. Wheeiwright $ actions for several
weeks have been peculiar, and friends be-
lieved his mind was failing.
a long spell of dependency ended only
by his death, caused by financial in
ability to carry out long planned
scheme of establishing in Chicago

was to accommodate those citizens of
Washington who became members while
visiting the exposition. He had in part
carried out his plans, but failed before
they were completed. Already large
number of the most prominent men in
Washington had, become members and
paid fees. Failing in his plans after they
had been so far advanced, and compelled
to disappoint those whom he had selected
to become members. he became respondent
and took his own life with chloroform.
Several acquaintance OF the deceased
when seen tonight repested the story that
he had been very respondent for some
time past on account of the failure of his
club scheme and the fact that he was COM
PEELED to disappoint those who had sub
scribed to membership. One of the last
things he did was to write letter to q
friend in charge of another western club
here requesting him to look after MEM
bers of his, Wheelwright's, club free of
further expense. 1t is said that over 300
Neutrality-suspicious. had subscribed to MEM
