THE administration determined
sometime ago that it would be I'M
wise to have its pension policy voted
upon by Congress, and, in accord
ance with that determination, word
has been passed to the Democratic
congressman as they arrived to let
the pension laws alone and leave to
the executive branch of the govern
ment the business of reducing the
number of pensioners by its con-
struction of present laws, rather
than take the chance of having pro-
posed amendments defeated. But
there are some vigorous kickers
against this programme among the
Democrats. Such men as Repre-
sentatiyes Tarsney, of Mo, Sayers,
of Texas, and Etloe, of Tennessee,
are full to the neck of schemes to
reduce the amount paid for pensions
by amending the present laws, and
unless they change their minds will
introduce them in the House, not
withstanding the expressed wishes
of the administration. The Repub-
licans will be glad to get an oppor-
tunity to put the Democrats in
Congress on record on the pension
policy of the administration and
will lose no opportunity to get a
vote upon any bill that promises to
have that result Wash. Cor.

IT is absurd for the eastern pa
pers, says the Denver Ne,Os, to talk
of Cleveland formulating the fnan-
cial policy for Congress. He at
tempted that task with an anti
silver letter in 1885, with indiffer-
ent success, and then he had no
organized opposition within his
party. Three months hence G..
Cleveland will be the worst snub-
bed and the best hated map on
earth.

All Arrangements for the Great Inter
national Yacht Race Believed to Have
Been Completed Last Night.
NEW YORK. Sept 27.-The long
looked for meeting between Lord Dun
raven and the Cup Committee took
place at the New York Club House, on
Madison avenue yesterday afternoon,
and apparently everything pertainable to
the coming races was adjusted In a man
ner satisfactory to all parties, but for
some reason best known to themselves,
the committee declined to state exactly
what had been done. The meeting was
called for 8. 30 o'clock. and all the mem
bers of the committee, with the ex-
ception Of Mr.. Schuyler. who
Is abroad, were on hand early,
but it was nearly o'clock before Lord
Dunraven drove up in a cab. In spite Of
the authoritative statement Of Brother in
law Kerr that the earl was not suffering
from the gout, he walked rather lame,
and his left foot which seemed to be
badly swollen, was encased in a cloth
slipper. He walked slowly through the
hallway. and asked the clerk at the desk
il Mr.. Smith was in. AS he did not give
his name and the clerk did not re cognizC
him, the latter told him that Mr.. Smith
was busy Just then Before he could
reveal his identity Mr.. Garfield. one OF
the Cup Committee, hurried up to him
and taking him by the arm, led him into
| the reception room. A moment Later
they went upstairs, and the arl wai
formally presented to the other members
of the committee.
The doors of the reception room wer,
then closed, and, with the exception o.
| A. Nicholson Kane, the chairman of the
clubs Regatta Committee. no one was
permitted to enter. The conferences
lasted little over an hour. At iti
conclusion, ex Commodore James d
Smith, who was the FIRST to come down
said that everything had been arranged
satisfactorily, but he did not think any
thing would be given to the press unit
the secretary of the committee had
chance to formulate it properly, whicl
would be- either to-day or tomorrow.
Lord Dunraven came down stairs
moment later smiling, and drove ava,
with Mr.. Kerr, his private secretary
who had been waiting for him. Secre
tary J. V. S Oddie then brought down
statement from j. Frederick Tams
which read as follows:
"The cup committee have met Lor
Dunraven for the purpose Of completin
the details of the races, and as soon g
they are formulated they will be give
to the press They will not be in shaI
, to give to the press to night.

CHOLERA OR STARVATION.
TERRIBLE PLIGHT or A STEAMER
LYING OFF SANTOS.

Death From Cholera or Starvation
stares the coo Passengers in the
Face-Inhabitants of Santos Panic
Stricken.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Captain Black,
of the steamer Hogsrth, which arrived
from Santos to-day, tells horrible story
of the ravages of cholera on an Italian
steamer at Santos,
Lying at Santos when the Hogarth left
was the Italian immigrant steamer Vim
cnzo Flori from Genoa and bound fol
Rio Janeiro.
The ship when she reached Rio had
cholera aboard and was refused sdmis
sion to the harbor. The vessel had gone
to several Brazilian ports, but at each
was warned away. She arrived al
Santos, where she was also refused ad-
mission and there lay in the harbol
helpless
The deaths on board daily were from
twenty to thirty. The bodies of the vic
Tins, together with their clothing anC
bedding were thrown overheard anC
washed ashore The inhabitants O
Santos became panic stricken and many
fed for fear Of contagion.
1t is surmised that the steamer wa;
without medical assistance or supplies
and had insufficient provisions or Goa
to proceed further. At all events tn
vessel failed TO leave the vicinity whei
ordered to do so and none Of the authori
ties dared venture near, and the gun
Of the forts OF Santos couldn't rescl
her.
1t was believed that the entire ship
load Of people numbering 1t Is thought
between 400 and 600 will be either wipei
out by the disease or that death fror

LONDON, Sept 97.-Priyate adviees
from Rio Jaueiro state that Admiral

ships from the harbor because Of the
fierce fire from the forts, as previous re-
ports stated. The rebel fleet discontln
ued the bombardment at the request OF
the foreign warshlp in the harbor which
holsted signals signifying their desire
that the firing should cease.
1t Is believed this interference was
rendered necessary by the fear that
many non-combatants who are unable
to leave the city, would be killed.
Negotiations are now said to be pend
