statement In Respect to the Pending
Van Leuven Investigation.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2I.-A statement
was to-day given out for publication by
Pension Commissioner Lochran in re-
spect to the pending Van Leuven investi-
CATION. 1t says in part:
ivan Leuven has for many years done
a large pension business, having his
Office at Lime Springs, Iowa. His client
age is drawn from all over the States of
Iowa and Minnesota, even from remote
parts of the country. In June last, as the
result of a preliminary investigation, he
was suspended by the Secretary of the
Interior from practice before the depart
ment 1t was clearly shown that for
years he supported claims which he pros
ecuted by highly developed and sue
cessful system of dishonest practices, the
purchase of testimony, fraudulent prep
aration Of afiidavits, bribing sworn
officials ofthe Government and wholesale
deception OF applicants for pensions, by
means of which they were induced to
show gratitude by the payment of fees
beyond the amounts allowed by law. 1t
is apparent that all claims allowed upon
eX p2rte evidence furnished by Van Leu
ven must be investigated. Doubtless
there are some cases in which the tenn
porary loss of pension works a hardship
to worthy men, but no pains will be
spared to ascertain such cases, and max q

Special to the REcorD.rN1ox.

PARIS, Aug. 21.-The result of yester-
days elections was distinct triumph for
the republic and the men at present guild
ing it. The Panama scandal seems to
have been forgotten entirely, or If not
forgotten, at least abandoned. Many of
the members reelected were among those
openly accused. Delahanic. who made
the original charges and boldly backed
his accusations with proofs, was defeated,
and Reinach, son-in-law of Baron de
Reinach, was reelected. The most curl
GUS event Of all was the election Of VIII
son, the vendor OF crosses and ribbons of
the Legion of Honor.
The SOcialistic movement has not de-
veloped anything like the strength
granted to it by the Republicans them
selves.
A great socialist victory is the election
of Humbert, President of the Municipal
Council.
Returns from Yesterdays elections
have been received from $40 districts out
of 584. The returns show the election of
800 Republican, IA Conservateurs Rallies
and "A Conservatives. Re-ballots are
necessary in l43 districts. The Repub-
licans have gained As seats and have lost
none.
At p. NJ. returns show the election OF
46 Conservatives, q Conservateurs Raj
lies and $50 Republicans. Included
among the Republicans are 81 Radicals,
Is Socialists. 6 Revisionists and Revo-
lutionists
LATER.-It is now known that rebal-
lots have to be taken in l55 districts. The
results of these reballots will undoub btedly
mostly be favorable to the Republicans,
whose gains now reach total of sixty
three seats. The majorities have given
| several Ministers in their respective dis
| tricts an aggregate Of nearly d, 600 more
than their combined maipriues when
| standing for election to tlfe Chamber in
1889. In the last general election the
Boulangists returned thirty five mem-
bers. yesterday they elected three. The
defeat of the Royalists is causing much
| significant comment, and it is predicted
that it means the ultimate extinction of
that party. departments hitherto thoir
strongholds have been wrested from
them by the Republicans, who are jubi-

FRESNO, Aug. PA camping party
just in from the west side report an out
tit was found near the banks of Cold
Slough on the James place, which con
sisted of cart with a single harness, A
valise containing underclothes, roll of
blankets and quilt tied in the bottom Of
the cart; also an old rope tied to a tree
near by. The leather was rotten from
exposure, and everything bore the ap-
pearance ofhaving been there since spring.
Nothing was marked to lead to identifi-
cation. Mexicans in the vicinity said
that a stray horse was on the ranges soon
after the spring floods. but disappeared.
The supposition is that the owner was
either drowned or had been murdered.

DR.. Carl Peters Comments Severely on
That Gentleman.
New YORK, Aug. 2l.-Dr. Carl Peters.
the African explorer, talking to-day
about Stanley, made some severe com-
ments on that gentleman's way of treat-
ing his fellow travellers. STANLEY lived
on good food himself" said Peters, ''and
allowed his men to live as the negroes did.
French missionaries told me they visited
Stanley's camp at Usumbrir, and saw him
sitting at the head Of the table eating
European diet and drinking claret, while
Emin Pasha and other members Gf the
party ate negro diet and drank water.
"Some Of the white men Of Stanley's
party had to abandon their tents and
sleep in the open air so that Stanley's
wine could be taken along. 1 was also
told by one OF the missionaries that when
one OF Stanley's companions had fever
and was not able to 60 on, Stanley took a
horse whip and flogged him, saying, If
my white men fall down what viii
the negroes do?' . Peters had much
more to say in the same vein. He is in
clined to the belief that Emin Pasha is
still living.

The likelihood Of a veto by President
Cleveland of such a measure has been
discounted by believers in the reported
early adjournment. They argue that it
would be impossible II rally two-thirds
vote in either house u pass it over his
veto, and that nothing could be accom-
plIshed, so far as the financial situation
is concerned, by Congress remaining in
session after such a veto is received.
More experienced watchers Of political
events place no confidence in these early
adjournment theories.
