The Marquis do 8arboles Wants Americans to

ing himself in favor of the proposal 70

subscription was intended only for the
benefit of the duke.
The marquis declared that he, equally
with his brother, was a descendant Of Co
lumbus, He had spent large sum OF
money during his recent visit in company
with his brother to the tuited States, and
as a matter of fact lie was poorer than the
Duke of Neragua, who is the head of the
family. The marquis thought that he
should be considered in the matter, and
said ne intended to write to friends in the
United States telling them all the facts.
He expressed the hope that the organizers
of the fund would see to it that he was
given third or a quarter of whatever

WARRINGTON. July a5-The following
additional statement has oeen issued from
the pension office with reference to the
suspension Of Judge Longs pension:
a further examination Of the papers
in the case Of Judge Dean Long, who on
MAY q, lss9, had his pension re rated. and
So month srsnted from June T. ISIS. and
s. mouth from June u. 1878 does not
improve matters for the judge. The ex-
animation shows that the case WAS taken
up without legal application or declars-
ton of any kind. on May Il 1889. that it
was examined on May 8. 1879, reviewed on
Nav 8. 1852. medical action taken on May
&, iSSs,. and certificate issued on May q,

In other words, it was rsilroaded

with
Letter Written by the Judge
TO Commissioner Tanner dated June l2,
1883, the case WAS further re-rafed at the
rate Of s25 per month from June n. 1852,
to June 6, lss5, and s3l % per month from
/ June /. ls53, tn June /, 1874. This second
| re rating Melted the judge a total OF about

1T is further remembered By several

was GU the ground himself when the p en-
sion bureau took its first remarksb lie
| action, and, together with Major Wright,
Of the pension bureau, seemed 10 be look

| The papers also show that, despite the
/ fact that the Office medical board, which
examined Judge Long on March 81, 1854,
I only found him entitled TO SD per month,
which defeated any right of his to AN in
/ crease, for he was then in receipt of $50 per
month pension. In August, 1854. his pen

1t should he stated. however. in justice
