Washington. Aug. 21.-But little bust
ness was transacted in the senate to-
day owing to lack of Il quorum, and
an adjournment was soon taken. Mr..
Harris reported the amended sugar bill.
and the coal, iron ore and barbed wire
bills. The sugar bill is amended so
as to provide for a duty of 40 per cent
straight on sugar without any ditferen-
tial on refined sugar. or any extra duty
on sugar imported from countries pay
ing a bounty. In other words, it is the
new tariff bill rate minus the ditferen-
tial. Democratic members Of the CON-
lnittee think that this rate will furnish
sufficient revenue without giving the
sugar trust any advantage. The coal
bill was so amended as to provide for
reciprocity. The amendment to the
harbed wire bill provides for the
barbed wire and all other fencing wire
and the rods from which they are
made. The free iron ore bill was not
amended. The senate bill to push the
claim of the United States against the
estate of Leland Stanford was passed
by the house.
The Republicans say there will be no
more business Of Importance transact

Two judgments of the Court of Claims
were affirmed by the United States Supreme
Court yesterday. Chas. T. Hutchins, a
lieutenant commander of the navy, was or
dered to proceed from San Francisco to
New York via Panama in charge of a de-
tachment of men. Under the law, which
says that an officer when travelling in the
United States shall be paid cents a mile
and when travelling abroad his expenses
only. the accounting officers of the treasury
allowed him S91, his actual travelling eX-
penSes. HutchinS claimed S261 IS as mile
age, on the ground that his journey was not
travelling abroad" The Court of Claims
sustained the contention, and the Supreme
Court took the same view of the case, Jus
tice Harlan laying down the general rule
that when the termni of the journey were
both in the United States, such travelling
was travelling at home within the intent
and meaning of the statute.

PENSION ATTORNEYS.
Several Points of Interest i'm Recent
Interior Depa rtment Decisions.

Assistant Secretary Reynolds of the In
terror Department has rendered the follow
ing decision relating to fees of attorneys in
pension claims: Where several applications
are filed by the claimant at different times,
he holds. through different attorneys, based
on separate disabilities the several applica-
lions pending shall be considered at the adj
judication as one claim and allowed as such.
If a contract for fee of so, on account of
each disability, has been filed, but one fee
will be allowed, and that to the attorney fl
ing the first contract.
The practice heretofore of dividing the
fee on allowance of claim between the at
torney filing contracts is discontinued, the
commissioner of pensions having no power
the fee between the attorneys, after the
party filing the first agreement, under the
law, has complied with the terms of his con-
tract. This ruling shall apply to claims al
ready filed and in which the attorney filing
contract subsequent to the first has per-
formed no service. and to all claims here
after to be filed.
Where a widow claims pension for her
self and her own children and also declares
for child of soldier by a former wife, the
claim is an entirety and the rights of all the
parties are subject to single adjudicG ton
and the attorney is entitled to but on. fee.
Where, in the same declaration claimant
asks for increase and alleges new disa-
bility and an attorney pTosecutes he claim
under the articles of agreement, the con-
tract applies to the whole matter pending
and the attorney is entitled to but enc fee.
Where an attorney dies leaving pension
claims pending in which lie was entitled to
recognition, his personal representatives will
not be recognized to complete such claims.

GIadstOne's Failing EyesiEht.

From the New York Sun.
Mr.. Gladstone made reference to his fail
ing eyesight in the dispatch about his
health which he sent from Biarritz last
week. According to a statement made by
the London correspondent of the Tribune,
the aged statesman is afflicted with cata-
ract in both of his eyes, in one of which
the sight has already been totally destroy
ed. while in the other it is impaired. The
sufferer. who is evidently not conversant
with the modern method of treating cata-
ract, recently requested his oculist TO per-
form an operation upon the blind eye, but
for a very good reason the oculSt declined.
He may possibly carry out Mr.. Gladstone )
desire after the power Of vision has depart

its owner. When cataract has affected

By trying to remove the cataract from the
blind eye at this time the oculist might en-
danger the eye that is yet useful. Mr.
Gladstone is well Versed in many branches
of learning but in this particular branch
he evidently does not know as much as
his oculist, DIR. Granger.
1t is possible that, even If Mr.. Gladstone
were to become totally blind, he would not
surrender the leadership of the liberal
party in parliament or the office of prime
minister or the battle for the rights of old
