Judge Lochren Nominated For the Bosi-
ton.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-The pension
commissionership has been settled at
last
The president sent to the senate the
nomination of Judge William Lochren,
of Minnesota, to be commissioner of
pensions. Mr.. Cleveland had devoted
weeks to the study of the qualifications
of the men recommended for the posi-
ton and finally decided that the judge
possessed the requisite business capac-
ity, legal knowledge and physical
strength to fulfill the arduous duties
expected of him and his nomination
followed.
THE NEW PENSION COMMISSIONER
Judge Lochren's reputation as Juror is Of
the first order and his military record particu-
larly brilliant He is 81 years Of age and was
born in Vermont, where he was educated in the
public schools and admitted TO the bar. He
went TO Minnesota in 1857 and practiced his
profession, but when the war broke out he was
one of the first men in the state 10 abandon his
civil pursuits and enlist in the First Minnesota
regiment His service during the war was Sc
we're, eliminating at Gettysburg, where his
regiment made the famous charge that checked
Pickett's onslaught OF the 800 men who made
that charge only forty came out whole and
LOchren, who started on the rush as first
lieutenant Of Company E, came of in command
Of the regiment, every officer above his grade
having been killed or wounded
When the war was over Judge LOchren re-
turned to Minnesota and resumed the practice
of law. He was very popular and was twice
the democratic caucus nominee for seat in
the United States senate In 1882 he was ap-
pointed by republican governor TO iudgeshp
on the circuit bench and al the expiration OF
his appointment was twice reelected TO the
same place without opposition. He has never
sought office and his popularity is best attested
by the fact that although he is q democrat his
candidacy for the place was indOrsed by the
unanimous vote of the republican legislature Of
Minnesota

4 GREAT STRIKE.
Santa Fe Mechanics Furnish a
Genuine Surprise.
A Walk Out All Along the Entire System
The Strike Somewhat of Mystery
But Some of the Causes That
Led to 1t Stated.
Strike on the Santa Fe.

TOPEKA, Kan, April S.-All the me-
ehanics in the employ Of the entire At
Gibson, Topeka & Santa Fe system,
including its leased lines, struck at l
o'clock this afternoon on a precon-
'certed signal
Messages to headquarters here report
the strike general from Chicago to Cal
ifornia and to Galveston.
In this city l, 100 men went out on
the signal. These included the boiler
makers and all the other employees Of
the great shops
1t is said that the fremen and other
employees will strike later.
The strikers here include the ma
chinists, boiler makers, blacksmiths
and their helpers employed in the shops
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
road at this place. Acting with their
fellow workmen in the same depart
ments along the line of the entire sys-
TEN they are on a strike for better
wages and other demands
The demands of the men are that the
pay shall be increased % cents a day
and that inexperienced men who get
less than regular rates shall not be re-
quired to do the work Of skilled men.
The men also ask that when the com
pany deems it necessary to reduce eX-
penses gangs of men be not discharged
or laid off, but that the hours be re-
duced.
The pay of machinists, boilermakers
and blacksmiths is now $3.50 per day
and of helpers $15O, and the demand is
that it be increased to S2.75 and Sl.75
respectively
The demands were presented to the
management in writing and by it re-
jected. The last meeting of the Topeka
men was held on Thursday, when the
resolution to strike was agreed to.

Still They Object.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-The seventy
seven members OF the Kansas legislature
who ask that an investigation be made
into the right of Martin to his seat as q
senator from Kansas say that il these
seventy seven members had been permit
ted to vote, no one would have had q ma.
jority of all the votes cast in the joint
assembly, and that there would have
been no election of q United States soma
tor.
They therefore resolved to enter their
solemn protest against what they declare
to be the revolutionary and illegal trans
action, and instructed the president Of
the joint assembly to appoint commit
tee to prepare a formal statement and
emphsticRlly protest to the senate Of the
United States, which protest was the
one presented to the senate yesterday.
The memorial concludes with the follow
ing:
"We, the undersigned members of the

cupying seats in our respective houses,

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 15.-The ex-
traordinary session of the senate, after
running exactly six weeks, closed TO-
day. Mr.. Plstt having the floor on the
subject of the proposed investigation of
Senator Roach, notice was given by Mr..
Harris that as soon as Mr.. Platt should
have closed his remarks he would move
to take up the resolution for the appoint
ment Of committee to wait upon the
president and inquire whether he had
any further communication to make to
the senate. The motion to reconsider
was withdrawn only on condition OF hav-
ing yea and nay vote taken on the
Roach matter before the adjournment.
After speeches in the Roach matter,
MIR. Mile, Mr. HsWley and Mr.. Lodge
offered resolution directing the secre-
tary OF state to inform the senate by
whose authority the American flag was
hauled down from the government build
ing at Honolulu on April /. "Let that
resolution lie over till Monday under the
rule" said Mr.. German, and 1t was laid
over An amendment to Mr.. Lodges
resolution was offered by Mr.. Butler,
adding to it the words "and also by
who So authority the same was hoisted
on ssid building"
The committee to wait on the prssi-
dent reported that it had performed that
duty and that it was informed by the
president that he had no further com
munication for the senate at it's present
session.

sion this afternoon, and every nomina-
ton made by the president up to date

Hudson Lannon, to be United States
marshal for Delaware, which was sent in

tion was sufficient to carry the nomina-
tion over for q day, and Senator Higgins,
of Delaware, made that objection, and

Gold Bugs Frightened.

WASHINGTON, April lathe gold ship
ments are proving intensely disquieting
to the administration. The treasury can
get along this week and possibly next. 1t
it believed that in an emergency the ad-
ministration knows where it can get
100000 or 100000 in gold in ex-
change for small notes. This will prob
ably carry it through next week,
although the gold reserve now is less
than s1O3,OOOOOO.
The arrangements are complete for is
suing bonde. No fault can be found with
that, as the same steps were taken by
Secretary Foster. During tie former
Cleveland administration, the position
taken by everybody, from the president
down, was that not penny Of this $780,
100000 could be toucheA To take one
cent was as dangerous as to take $l5,-
100000 or S2O,0OO,0OO Of it. The same
views were put forth month ago by
the fnanciers who were close to Mr..
Cleveland.
In connection with the above, local
paper ssya: Nevertheless it 's now
stated that the Cleveland administration
does not look upon the $100,O000O0 as
an absolute necessity, and it may feel
bound to try conclusions with the Wall
street gan blers and test their power to
bid gold up to premium. This is pre-
cisely the position in which President
Hsrrison's administration found itself
placed. 1t has taken Mr.. Cleveland q
long while to get there, but if he modi-
ies his former views and ignores the
efforts Of the spaculators to force q
panic, there will probably not be much
criticism. Whether the s100O000O0 re-
serve is trenched upon by 100000 or
by 100000, the principle is the same.
The test will have to be made whenever
the $100,0OO,0O0 limit is passed"
Some Wall street bankers think the
gold situation is becoming serious, and
that the secretary Of the treasury will be-
compelled to issue bonds. 1t is certain
that the $100,000,O00 Of gold reserve in
the national treasury will soon have to
be tapped unless bonds are sold.
