PENSIONERS MUST SUFFER.

Further Evidence that Cleveland "Has It
In" for the Old Soldier.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The Star has this
gossip regarding the proposed reduction in
the pension list:
Recent developments have aroused great
deal OF interest In the pension question, and
there Is a growing conviction that its agitation
Is going TO be one of the most prominent feat.
urcs OF the new administration. Mr.. Cleveland
has already made a record On his pension vetoes,
which appear not to have nurt him much in the
last campaign. 1t Is understood that he now
hopes TO effect complete reform in the methods
or granting pensions, and to purge the pension
roll during the course Of his administration
OF pensioners s who o are carried improperly
In this connection great deal OF discussion was
provoked at the capital to-day by the speech OF
Ex-Secretary Fairchild, at Richmond last even
that they need not stand back and be afraid TO
deal with the pension question as Ii should be
dealt with There Is no doubt felt among Demo
Gratis that Mr.. Cleveland intends to handle the
question without gloves with the purpose to re-
duce tho annual payments for pensions as low as
possible. The talk of transferring the pension
Office TO the War Department Is said TO grow out
OF the expectation that Colonel" Lamont will
be at the head OF that department. and that in
the event OF the transfer he will make the re-
vision of the pension list and the refOrmef methods
the conspicuous work of his administration
OF the office. Confronted with an expenditure
for pensions rapidly approaching $500, 900. 900
a year, and at the same time threatened with
deficiency in the treasury at the time when the
party Is pledged TO q considerable reduction OF
the customs duties, the Democrats feel that
something must be done to reduce the draft upon
the treasury, and they regard the pension ex-
penditure as Offering the best opportunity for re-
trenchment. The proposition TO transfer to the
War Department: to create a commission to ex-
anime the roll, and the legislation in the pension
bill designed TO exclude from the privilege OF
pensions certain classes now enabled TO draw
them, are all part of the general policy which
Is about TO be fnaugurated.

ROTTEN ITALIAN BANKS.

Scandal that Promises to Almost Equal tin Q

ROME. Jan. 26.-The scandals in connec-
ton with certain banks in this city and
Naples threaten to have more serious con-
sequences than were at first deemed prob
able. The name of Signor Crlspi. the ex-
Prime Minister, has been mixed up in the
matter.
The Chamber of Deputies this morning
was crowded with people anxious to hear
an official statement from the government
In regard to the scandals. The statement
was made by Sig Giovanni GiOlitti, the
President of the Council and Minister of the
Interior. Sig. Giolitti said that the excess
of the Bsnca Romana's note issue amounted
to 65. QUO. 900 lire. TO the demand for par
liamentary inquiry into the scandals he
could not accede. he said. as ouch an IN
quiry wOuld be a reproach to the Cabinet,
which had never yet fiinched In the dis
charge of it's duty.
The Marquis Di Rudini. ex-Premier, de-
clared that ON investigation of the scandals
demands that Parliament shall judge Sig.

said the Marquis.
A number of prominent men. including
ex-ministers. deputies and Journalists. are
openly charged with having received
money from the Bancs Romano for years.
1t 10 said that some newspapers received a
subsidy of 1000 lire annually. The judi
cial inquiry Is said to have shown that the
Banca Romano supplied the Ministry with
q large amount of money in the last cleo
ton. The failure of the Banca Romano, it
is expected, Will cause the collapse of sew
eral other institutions, notably the Banca
