PRIVATE PENSION BILLS.
over Eight Hundred Introduced
This Session.

WASHINGTON, March Is, 1s94.-About
eight hundred private pension bills have
been introduced this session. but so far not
more than twenty-five have been favorably
acted on Bills of this character are intro
duced for the benefit of persons
who hope to secure through Congress
ional enactment what the pension office will
not allow them, and the custom in the past
has been to pass them with more or less
liberalitv. The history of private PEN
sion legislation is interesting. The
practice was adopted in the first
Congress after the formation of the Consti-
tuition The first private pension bill upon
which that Congress acted favorably was
one granting a pension of $2.500 pear to
Major General Won Steuben, q
German nobleman who came to this
country at the beginning of the evolutionary
war and cast his fortunes with those of the
American colonists For half a century the
number of private pension bills which passed
Congress seldom exceeded half a dozen, and
as a rule were below that figure.
During the four years of the late war
only forty-four private pension bills in
all became laws, and it was not until
the Forty-eighth Congress, ten years ago,
that the volume began largely to in
crease In that Congress 512 bills became
laws. In the following Congress the num-
Der was swelled to 79S, increasing to ten
hundred and twenty-seven in the hftieth
Congress- aud reaching its maximum OF 400
in the fifty-first Congress. In the fifty
second Congress, which was the Congress
proceeding the one now in session, the num-
ber ran down to 211.

BANK OF ENGLAND DIRECTORS.
der Mays Irregularities Foo
UP Over &25O,0OO.
Bu Cable to the United Press.

By Gable to the Un1ted Press.
LONDON, March Is, 1S94.-At the meeting
of the directors of the Bank of England to-
day a statement was submitted by Mr..
David Powell, the governor of the bank, in
which he expressed regret at the ne
cessity for the removal of Mr. Frank May,
the chief cashier Mr. May, he said, was re-
moved though allowed to resign, for
exceeding his authority and committing
great irregularities in regard to making ad-
yances to certain customers. In one case
he made considerable overdraft without
the authority or even the knowledge
of the Governor, and, contrary to the rules
of the bank, he had indulged in transactions
on the Stock Exchange, which had resulted
in grave pecuniary difficulty.
Mr.. Powell said that the system of adj
vances hitherto pursued has been thoroughly
changed 1t was impossible to estimate the
full amount of the banks losses from Mr.
Mays transactions. but the sum of ego, 900
had been set aside to meet them.
Since August, 1893, Mr. Powell said, the
liabilities to the bank of the firm of Barring
Brothers & Co., which failed last summer,
had been reduced by 1865, 600. The progress
in reducing the Barings Indebtedness to the
bank had not been equal to expectations,
but the reduction had been steady, and the
present general position of the bank is no
less satisfactory than it was six months ago
All of the securities which the bank now
holds are gilt-edged 1t does not hold and
has not held any of the securities of inan-
cial trust companies.

TARIFF BILL DEFECT DETECTED
Senator Vest Prevents a BIunder by
the Finance Committee.

the Finance Committee.
WASHINGTON, March 10, 1S94-The pres
ent discussion of the Tariff bill in full COM
mittee, although not producing many
changes in the schedules, is bringing to light
some extraordinary defects in the
bill. One of those was discovered
yesterday which, had it not been found out
in time, would have reduced the revenue
million of dollars. The last page of the
bill as made public by the Senate is
long distance from the first, but
the legislation found in the last few para
graphs controls the whole bill. One of these
paragraphs, Section 102, provides "that an
act to reduce the revenue and equalize duties
on imports and for other purposes approved
October l, 1890, and all acts and parts of
acts not inconsistent with this act are here
by repealed"
This was an absolute repeal of the Mckinley
law, and Mr.. Vest, in committee yesterday,
moved that it be stricken out for very OBJ
vious reasons. The internal revenue
tax on tobacco, manufactured tobacco,
all the regulations as to licenses
taxes and the sale of leaf tobacco, are con-
tanned in the Mckinley law and nothing is
is said about them in the Wilson bill.
The intention was, of course, to permit
the present law to stand in those respects.
Had not the sweeping character OF
the absolute repeating clause been detected
in time these provisions of the Mckinley act
would have been wiped out, and the govern
ment would have found itself pow
erless to collect a dollar of in
ternal revenue tax on manufactured
tobacco except in the shape Of cigars and
cigarettes. The free leaf provisions would
also have been eliminated from the present
law

SUTHERLAND STILL MISSING.

New York, March IS, 1s94.-The where
abouts of Justice Kenneth F. Sutherland.
who was yesterday found guilty of oppres-
sion in Judge Browns court in Brooklyn, is
still unknown.
At Gravesend Police Headquarters, today,
nothing was known of the missing justice. A
constable who lives in Sutherland's house,
on Third street. Gravesend, reported today
that the convicted justice had not been at
home all night.
At Gravesend the officials and friends Of
Sutherland seemed to take but little interest
in his whereabouts, and expressed the opin-
ion that he would put in an appearance all
right when called up for sentence tomorrow
Before he went away yesterday afternoon,
Sutherland told Mr.. Backus that he expected
to be convicted, and asked that the verdict
be telegraphed to him as soon as it was rem
dered. That was done by Mr.. Backus.
Sutherland had some private business to at
tend to and had to go away yesterday.
Lawyer Backus, counsel for Sutherland
stated in court yesterday that he would be
responsible for his clients appearance in
court tomorrow morning for sentence. The
Judge said that would be satisfactory and
until tomorrow the Sheriff will make no eff
fort to find the convicted man.

Heights held meeting last night, but did
not decide to strike. They went to work as
usual this morning.
The strikers of Schwatzenbachs mill will
have parade this afternoon. A number of
them were on corners this noon time and
called ''scab" and other names at some of the
workers as they went by, but the police soon
dispersed them

ANOTHER GAYLORD MINE VICTIM

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, March 10, 1S94-The
workers in the Gaylord Mine found another
body at one o'clock this morning. 1t could
not be recognized. The remains were placed
in rough box and will be brought to the
surface this morning.
The remains discovered at one o'clock this
morning at the GAYLORD shaft have been
recognized as those of Joseph Olds, although
the condition of the body was worse than
that of either of the two previously found.
The fact that the remains have not been
brought up the shaft at this writing eleven
A. NJ may mean that others have been
found. There is unusual interest displayed
by the crowd as to the real cause of Olds' re-
mains not being brought up, every one
expecting fuller developments regarding the
finding of the remainder of the victims.

The County Committee members of the
Eighth Assembly District Republican Com
mlttee, which constitutes the Executive
Committee of the District Committee, met
last night at their headquarters, Hutton
streets and Cambridge avenue, for the pur-
pose of reorganizing the Eighth Assembly
District Republican Committee. When the
meeting was called to order Mr.. Doscher
contended that the Eighth Assembly District
Republican Committee was not organized
according to the bylaws and constitution of
the County Committee, and moved that a
new committee be temporarily organ

Assemblyman McEwan, who was the leader
of the Eigth Assembly District for the Re-

which has been waging between the Doscher
and McEwan factions in the Eighth

when the Executive Committee re-
organized the District Committee.
When Mr.. Doscher made his motion
for reorganization last night, Mr.. McEwan
became offended and left the room. Several
of his friends followed, leaving the Doscher
faction in possession of the meeting. A

PROSPERING BUSINESS.

WASHINGTON, March Is, 1S94.-Enquiry
this morning at the Bureau of Statistics not
only veriies the statement sent out in these
dispatches yesterday as to the favorable
turn in the balance Of trade, but makes the
showing even more satisfactory than was
stated
The statement of yesterday showed a
balance of trade in favor to the United
States on merchandise for the eigh months
ended February % to be $21S, 100000, as
compared with $29,0OO,0 600 for the same
period OF last year The movements of
specie are given separately, and taking
tie specie into account the balance of
trade is still more largely in favor
of the United States For the eight months
just mentioned, the imports of gold exceeded
the exports by s53, 3,OOo 900; the exports of
silver exceeded the imports for the same
poriod $23,00O,0O0 The difference between
these amounts -$2S, 000-should be added to
the difference on merchandise, S2l8 900, 600,
making the actual balance of trade in favor
of the United States ON merchandise and
specie, for eight months, two hundred and
forty-six million dollars.
This change in the trade situation is due
to two oscauses-the large increase in cotton
exports and decrease in imported merchan-
disc. In September of last year the value
of merchandise imported into the United
States was the lowest in amount for very
many years. only s4O,oOO,OO0, and was i'm
mediately followed by very large exports,
prime ipally in cotton and breadstuffs, rang
ing from s72,OOO,OOO in September to $685.

TIM HEALEY BEATEN
His Influence in the Nc
Carthyite Faction Greatly
Diminished.
A NEW ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
Dillon and O'Brien Force the Re-
tirement of Arthur O'Connor
and Florence O'DriscoIl.
I'm Cab1e to the Unttsd Press.

LONDON, March Is, 1S94.-The three days
session of the McCarthyite section of the
Irish party in Parliament, which closed yes
terday, resulted in victory for the Dillon
faction, and while the outcome has healed
some old wounds, it has undoubtedly created
new feuds. The principal object of the con-
ference and discussion was to choose a new
Advisory Committee of eight to act with
Justin Mccarthy, Chairman of the Irish
Parliamentary party.
The new committee elected is as follows
Justin Mccarthy Chairman; Edward Blake,
Michael Davitt, John Dillon, Timothy Healy,
William O'Brien, 7. P O'Connor and limo
thy D. Sullivan.
o'CoNNoR AND o'DRIscoLL DROPPED.
Arthur O'Connor was deposed both as
secretary and committeeman. William
Abraham was chosen to fill his place as sec
retary and T. D. Sullivan was elected in his
stead as member Of the committee Flor
ence O'Driscoll, the anti Parnellite whip, was
also dropped as candidate for reelection to
the committee. The opposition to OConnor
and O'Driscon was based on the speeches
they made during their visit to the United
States some time ago, which, 1t Is claimed,
were hostile to the interests of the party, but
IL appears CndU Uno Speecu0S III Qu0St1Ou WoA0
really more hostile to the the interests of
Dillon and O'Brien, whose influence was
potent to GUST them from their respective
positions at yesterdays meeting.
A great deal of bad feeling has been en-
gendered and several members of the Healy-
ite faction left London for Ireland last night,
after giving several exhibitions Of their an
ger and disappointment. OF the Healyite
section of the party Timothy Healy himself
is the only one remaining on the committee.
TIM HEALY's FOLLOWERS DISSATISFIED,
The. Times says this morning.: = The
original Dillonite plan was to augment the
committee by nominating T. j. Condor and
David Sheehy in the hope of excluding Ar
thur O'Connor, but the division on the re-
election of Florence O'Driscol was SO close
it was deemed expedient to compromise
matters, with the result that T. D. Sullivan
was elected to replace Arthur O'Connor on
the committee, and the question of augment
ing the committee was dropped.
s'Mr. Sullivan was formerly regarded as
Healyite, but since he has been renominated
by the Dillonites, it is suspected that he has
been won over to their side.
''The Healyites regard the whole business
as an attempt to diminish their influence in
the party councils, but, believing that the
Irish electors are with them, several OF
them intend to resign their seats jim Parha-
ment with the object of securing a popular
verdict in favor of their action"

BOMB THROWER KILLED.
BIZ Gable to the United Press.

By CGOte 10 thc UflltcG t'TeSS.
PARIS, March, IS, 1s94.-A half-past two
o'clock this afternoon a bomb was exploded
just inside the main door of the Church of
the Madeleine. One person, supposed to be
the author of the explosion, was killed, and
several others were wounded. The explo-
sion, which was evidently premature, mutt
lated in horrible manner the man who was
carrying the bomb. 1t is generally believed
that it was the intention of the miscreant to
throw the bomb into the midst of the wor
shippers who were gathering for the after
into custody on suspicion of being acces-
sories of the man who was killed. The police
had the greatest difficulty in getting their
prisoners to the station.
