WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S-Representative
Bynum is doing real tariff work these
days, in little curtained room in dark
recess OF the basement on the House side OF
the Capitol. He is out of his seat In the
House nearly all the time. closeted in this
little dark room, where the finishing touch
es. it Is reported, are being given to the
tariff measure. Mr.. Bynum is working
with Chairman Wilson on the customs and
administration features of the BILL which.
of course, involves the customs duties and
the interests OF capital and labor. and
the most important in the measure. He
declined. to-day. to express any opinion as
to when the tariff bill will be reported to
the House
From other sources the Journal CORE
spondent learns that, although the bill may
be completed within two or three weeks.
the time when it shall be made public, which
viii be when II Is reported TO the full COM
nlittee on ways and means, is yet matter
OF conjecture and doubt. 1T Is the purpose
tee to keep dark all features of the bill
until all the political conditions are in ac-
cordance with the state of business or
Congress- Then the bill will go to the full
committee. and then TO the country. 1t
was the original intention to report the bill
TO the House before the end of this month,
but IL was finally thought advisable to hole
II back until after the various November
State elections, as the provisionsof the meas
ure might precipitate further distress in
manufacturing and labor circles, and have
an adverse effect Ct the polls. 1t is now
intimated that the bill may not be report
ed until Congress cOnvenes in its regular
session. on the first Monday in December
Intimation is made that, inasmuch as
President Cleveland called Congress to-
gether for the express purpose of repeating
the silver-purchasing law without condl-
ton, IL would be improper impolitic to
propose tariff legislation at the extraordi-
nary session. especially In view of the fact
that the silver-repeal bill has not been
finally acted upon, and is yet a bone of
serious contention in the Senate. Mr.. By
mum says none of the features of the bill
will be made public until the bill goes to
the full committee, nor will any definite
indication be given to when the bill is
to be reported to the House Thus, in the
interest of the personal comfort of the
Demochatic members of the ways and
means committee, who do not want to be
bothered with protests, and for political
reasons, Indianas commercial and labor
interests viii be In SUSPENSE indefinitely

HOKE AND PENSIONS.
Much Less Work Done for the Same
Money-Incrcase of Rejected Cases

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1S.-In answer to the
request of the House for precise information
as to the number of pensions under the
act Of 1890 granted and rejected before the
present administration took charge OF the
Pension Bureau and since that time, Secre-
tary Hoke Smith, to-day sent reply which
further emphasizes the great change that
has been made in this respect since the 4th
Of March.
Before the change I'm the Pension Office
there was an average of 1851 applications
for pension passed upon every month under
the act of 1890. Since the change, with q
large increase of expenses in the bureau,
there has been a reduction of 1865 in the
number of applications passed upon each
month. In other words the total amount OF
work done in the bureau is about rs per
cent. less than was the case under the pre-
ceding administration.
Under the Harrison administration there
was an average of 1898 certificates issued
every month, and there was average Of
2926 applications rejected every month.
Under the Cleveland administration there
has been an average of 1854 certificates
issued while the cases rejected average
9544. This will give a fair indication of
how the pension laws are being construed
under Secretary Hoke Smith so as TO de-
prive the old veterans and their widows
and orphans of the benefits which Congress
intended that they should have.

Both of these distinguished Republican

HAUGHVILLE TOWN BOARD.
Exciting Debate Over Chestnut Trees
Railroad Crossings.

Amid much oratory and debate the Board
Of Trustees of Haughville last night trans
acted the small amount of business on
hand. Numerous bills all incurred through
street improvements were allowed. the
whole amount being s45.75. One of Haugh-
viile's citizens who was present and who
claims to have the honor of being its larg-
est taxpayer, grew very fervid in denunci-
alton of the board Among the bills for
improvements was one for the paying of
masonry done in the King-street crossing.
The marshal hired a man at the rate of %
cents an hour to do the work, and the
orator thereupon accused him of being
''scab' for not paying union wages. The
board appeared deaf to his entreaty and
allowed but Is cents an hour. A short
time ago a crossing was put in at King
and Michigan streets, and since that time
every citizen has seen the necessity for
having a crossing at his particular place

A resolution was adopted inStructing the
marshal to notify the Big Four and l., D.

their crossings at Holmes street in suitable
condition for travel. II the railway COM
panieS do not comply with this order the
town will proceed to make such crossings
at the companies expense. 1t is expected
that an injunction will be fled by the rail
way companies, and the matter will thus be
brought into court. The board desires such
an action it's part, the title for land
at this crossing would then be settled. An
abstract of title has already been written
but the board does not feel secure yet. A
bill of $3.50 for the preparation Of this alb
stract was presented, but was thought to
be too large, and was sent back for recon-
sideration. The board then adjourned.

BRICE NOT A SILvERITE.
The Ohfo-New York Senator States
His Financial Position

constituents to understand that he is un-
swervingly in favor of the unconditional re-
peal Of the silver law. There have been re-
ports In circulation during the past week
that he was wavering and was promoting
various compromise schemes.
To-day's New York Sun has tabulated
statement intended to indicate the positions
of the various Senator'S upon the silver aues-
ton, showing those who said to favor a
compromise and those who are for the free
coinage of silver and opposed to any COM

unreliably for unconditional repeal" Sem
ator Brice said 10 the Journal correspondent

issue; that he was in favor of unconditional
repeal at the beginning of the fight, and oc-

no City Attorney Yet.

The fight for the city attorneyship is still
on. The friends of Horace Smith are still
urging his appointment but the contest for
the position has grown to such proportions
that the Mayor may go outside OF the
names mentioned so far and select some
one who has not been so prominently men,
toned for the office. The friends of Charles
Witse are still active in his behalf. A
number of prominent citizens think IL
would be wise to select older man for
the position than those whose names have
appeared in connection with the office.
There will be a great many important
questions TO come up during the next two
years in regard to street car and other
matters, and the city attorney will have
a great deal of hard work to do, besides
a heavy reSnOnSibility.
