NO PENSION LEGISLATION.

Democratic Senators WIN Not Embarrass
the Presfsent-Those Modified Orders
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHfNGTON, Sept. S.-Great surprise
was expressed among the Republicans in
Congress when they learned that the Sem
ate committee on pensions had agreed by q
strict party vote-the Republicans all vot-
ing in opposition-to consider no pension
legislation during the present Congress. 1t
was understood that this action was at the
suggestion of President Cleveland, who
did not want to continue his record of
vetoIng pension bills.
The Journal correspondent this after
noon asked Representative Pickler. of
South Dakota, who is one of the leading
PENSION advocates of the lower branch
of Congress- what was the pres
ent status of affairs at the Pension
Office under the modified order of Commits
sioner LOchreD. and whether he thought
pensioners wOuld now be gwen faIr
chance TO have their claims acted upon.
Major Pickier said: Under the last mod.
iticatiOn of Commissioner OF Pensions
Lochren i understand that he Will rate
pensions exactly as Commissioner Raum
was rating when he was Commissioner. In
otner words. it is a complete reversal of
the oruers TO suspend pensions anu re-
turn TO Raum's and Mobiles practice. IL
the order that now stands il carried out in
good faith pensioners should receive pen
sions as IN the last administration. One
very significant fact however. is that from
March 4. 1898. to Aug. &c 1s93. there were
only 5l216 pension certificates issned,
whereas. under Raum's administration
there were about 3OO00 month issued"

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, Sept. S.-The Sec.
retary OF the Interior has discovered, too
late for the information to be of practical
value, that the arrangements for O grand

In letter to citizen of this

in which this opening has been conducted
and for the willful ignorance displayed by

all day without shelter or water. This
hardship will surely csuse many deaths.

TIE PAN1NA CONCESSION.

The prolongation of the Panama Canal con-
ccs,ion is to be attributed 10 the unfavorablc
conditions fer European or American invest
ment in the enterprise. The Colombian Gov
eminent at the expiration of Lieutenant Wyse 5
extension of contract on February 90 was in
position to take possession of the work without
litigation, and to make arrangements with any
foreign syndicate for the completion Of the
canal President Nunez, who is one OF the
most ad:Cit rulers in Spanish America had an
tcipa,cd, when he consented - the first cX-
tension, that he would b" abe to drive god
bargain with European investors and possibly
nav off the Colombian debt. At the lowest
calculation at least $50, 900, 600 was honestly
expended at the lsthmus The work actually
done there in excavations would naturally have
a commercial value when the Colombian Gov
eminent became in a sense the rcsiduary lcgatce
of the bankrupt company. To this would be
added the value of plant and buildings which
the company were unable to remove, and also
Ct the c,ncessions FIR constructing and orc!at-
ing the canal. If the keen -witted President,
who absolutely controls thd action OF Govern
mcnt and Legislature, has relnqushed his ad
vantage, it has been because he was convinced
that he could not make bargain IN New
York. London or Berlin.
With the Nicaragua scheme still hanging fire
in the United States Congress, American capital
obviously could not be obtained for the com
rletcn Ct the rival work at the lsthmus. Ber-
lin financ ers have never shown any interest in
projects for intcroceanic waterways. When
they invest money abroad it is in railways and
national securities. English investors have be-
come very timid respecting South American en-
tcrprses. They have sunk hundreds of mill
lens in the Argentine whirlpool; their holdings
in Brazilian and Chilian securities. national,
railway, mining and industrial, are enormous
ard they have taken possession Of the Peruvian
railway system after cancelin2 the national
debt. They are overloaded with South Amer l.
can liabilities. There was no likelihood of the

plotion of the Panama Canal. With no prcspcc-
tive bidders in the market for the continue
