 His Charge.

PARSONS, Kan, Dec. 23.-An unsuc- cessful attempt was made to hold up south Inbound passenger train No on the Missouri, Kansas X Texas railroad yesterday afternoon at 5:S0 o'clock at Kelso station, l. T.

First Attempt to Get Judicial De-
 termination.
 WASHINGTON, Dec, 23.-The first at tempt to get judicial determination of the right of the commissioner Of pensions to suspend a pensioner from the rolls came up before Justice Brad. ley, of the supreme court of the Dis trict of Columbia It is brought in the form of an application by Charles D. Long, justice of the supreme court ot Michigan, for mandamus to compel Commissioner Lochren to restore him to his full rating at s72 per month.
 Commissioner Lochren and eX-Com- missioner Tanner were present, and the legal array included Mir. E. E. Whitney, assistant attorney-general, representing the government, and MT. Thomas s. Hopkins, of Washington and Mir. F. A. Baker, of Detroit repre- senting Judge Long.
 Mir. Hopkins opened for the petition CT. He spoke of the legal aspects oi the case, and then vigorously attacked the pension policy of Commissioner Lochren and President Cleveland, de- cldrlnR the nrSJ dulnlulSGrdIioh VI President Cleveland was narrow, illib' eral and parsimonious to the soldier"
 When Assistant Attorney-General Whitney arose, he scored Counsel Hop kins for his reference to the refusal tc allow him access to papers. He accused Hopkins of speaking for the newspa' pers, and said that the former loose ad' ministration of the pension bureau was a matter of public scandal. He spoke of the pension for permanent helpless ness granted to Judge Long, and re- ferred to the complainants occupancy of the office of supreme court judge ln Michigan at S5,00J year.
 Commissioner Lochren, in defending his action, said he had suspended pen sions only in cases where they were plainly illegal He referred to the Nor. folk case, where the claims were based on fraudulent testimony. As he had the power of suspension his oath oi office required him to exercise it when necessary in his judgment. In every case, he concluded, he had given the benefit of the doubt to the soldier.
 The hearing will be concluded this morning, when Attorney Baker, of De- troit will make the closing argument for Judpa T,Onp
