PENSION PAYMENTS REDUCED.
An Important Decision Fixed by the
Secretary of the Interior.

An Important Decision Fixed by the
Secretary of the Interior.
WASHINGTON, u. c.. May 27.-Proba-
bly, the most important pension decision
ever sent from the office Of the Secretary
OF the Interior to the Commissioner Of
Pensions was filed to-day.
IL is believed by those high I'm authority
I'm the Pension Bureau that it will reduce
the payment of pensions under the act
Of June q, 1890, between Sl5,0OO,O0O and S2O,-
000O00
1t involves the repeal of an crder
passed by General Raum, and approved
by Assistant Secretary Bussey, and a re-
turn TO the language OF the 'tatute re-
quiring the disability, when not Of SER
vice origin. TO be such as TO prevent the
applicant from earning a support by man
ual labor.
Secretary Hoke Smith has been con-
sidering the principles involved In this
decision for several weeks, and SO i'm
por;ant did he deem It, that when it was
called TO his attention from the Pension
Beard Of Appeals, he submitted the ques-
tions inv oved TO Attorney-General Olney
and to Judge Lochren, the Commissioner
Of Pensions. both Of whom concurred in
the correctness Of the decision.
Raum's order. No. 1Gl dated June q,
1890. required that all cases showing a
pensionable disability, under the act OF
June q, 1890 should be rated as II Of
service origin. This order Is superseded
by to-day's decision. The case that
brought this about was that OF a soldier,
TO whom a pension was granted under
the law Of 1890, for slight deafness, but
who was in sound health and vigorous
body. and who had no record OF Illness
or injury of any kind during his army
service.

UORLD'S FAIR AWARDs.
Withdrawals on Account of the Thatcher

CHICAGO, May H.-Surprising devei-
opments marked the controversy over
the awards at the Worlds Fair yester-
day. The sixteen countries that with
drew their displays from competition on
account Of dissatisfaction with John Bovd
Thatcher's system. completely turned the
tables on that unhappy official.
The commissioners have decided TO
enter into q competition among them
selves They win establish n board OF
Jurors. independent of those in the Ame-
rican lection, and Issue diplomas In utter
disregard Of Thatcher's work This un-
expected movement on the part OF the
foreign commissioners leaves Thatcher I'm
very embarrassing position. The
awards granted by the commissioners
who lately withdrew VIII be the only
evidence Of international competition AT
the Fair for the South American re-
publlcs are expected to join the move
ment. Thatcher will, therefore. be iort
with nothing but the United States sec
ton. and the diplomas TO be issued will
be Of little more value than those fur
nished at an interstate fair The lnterna-
tional diplomas win be carried awav bv
the foreign commissioners. who refuse
TO accept Thatcher's one-judge plan OF
making awards.

AS the most important event of all

On the afternoon of the 26th inst, it
rained a good shower here; through
the night following more rain fell and
yesterday, 26th inst.-it began to lit
orally pour about 10 A. NJ, and for
nearly Or quite two hours an uninter-
rupted sluice of waters descended upon
this and the adjacent sections of coun-
try. All this, with the lighter rainfall
that followed, causes every creek,
branch and rivulet to boom and much
damage to fields, and the crops there
in, as we'll to roads and fences, result
ed there from.
Farmers throughout this neighbor-
hood, as well as those of adjoining
communities were considerably behind
hand in their corn planting; now that
nearly all of them have at last sue
ceeded in completing the planting, the
freshet has washed off much of it, in
some instances, in others deeply bury
ing the corn with gravel and debris Of
various kinds. OF course, by far the
greatest damage has been done to fields
along the creeks. The amount Of rain
fall on yesterday fully equaled that of
the time of last years freshet-May
14th. Though in many instances the
damage done by the floods of the past
twenty years was unavoidable, by far
