JUDGE LONGS PENSION.
The suspending order Has Been Re-
scfnded by the Department.

Judge William Lochren, commissioner of
pensions, has rescinded his order suspend
ing the pension of Judge Long of the SUI
preme court of Michigan. This action is
taken because Of the act Of Congress Of De-
cember q, 1893, declaring a pension a vest
ed right anu cannot be withheld without
thirty days notice to the pensioner. The
pension of Judge Long was suspended I'M
der the rule of the department suspending
pensions pending medical examination.
Judge Long was directed to appear before
the examining board for denomination
He disregarded this notice
Then he applied to the Supreme Court OF
the District of Columbia for a mandamus
restraining Commissioner of Pensions Loeb
rem from interference with his pension. The
case was heard by Judge Bradley, who still
has II under considera zion. The action of
the commissioner has been brought to the
attention OF the court, and Ii is thought
that the case will be dropped. Previous to
May .. lss9. Judge Long was drawing a
pension of $50 per month. ON that day IL
was increased to s12 per month, with back
pay agsregatng about $S.Uvo The case was
pushed through. IL is said at the pension
bureau, with due consideration. The pen
sion was granted on the ground of
total disability, whereas Judge Long
was ana continues 10
perform his duties as judge OF
the supreme court of Michigan. The
pension administration maintains that
Long Is entitled TO a pension OF but $50 per
month, and that he is not totally disa bled
within the meaning OF the law. In conror-
NIFTY with the act of December u, Long will
be notified that unless he shows that he is
suffering from total disability, his pension
will be reduced to $40
Judge Lochren told reporter for The
Star this afternoon that the action of the
department was i'm conformity with the law
he could not say how many cases there
were analogous To the Long case He said
he did not wish to criticise an act of Com
gress. but admitted that he might have said
10 a United Press representative that il was
an unjust and unwise law.
reporter for The Star saw Corporal
Tanner. That gentleman was not incline
TO tax, but looked on the action of the ad-
ministration as a back down. The case OF
the government was weak one ana that
OF Judge Long strong one The people
IN power, seeing this, had taken advantage
OF the act of December Il TO withdraw from
Its position, and avoid the risk of an ad-
verse decision from the court The act I'm
question did not have a retroactive effect
unless the pension bureau so desired TO CON
strue il.
He thought that Judge Bradley should rem
der decision I'm the matter and not per-
nit his fee. to be cut Off from under him
py this action OF the pension bureau" He
was anxious for a decision from the court
because he thought il would legally yindi-
cate his action as commissioner OF pensions

A Case of Death Damages,

Mr.. W. H. H. Miller. the ex-attorney gen
eral Of the United States, appeared before
the Supreme Court yesterday counsel for
the plaintiff in the case Of George Clark
against the Louisville. Evansville and st.
Louis Railroad Company, appealed by the
defendant from the circuit court of Indiana
The plaintiff, as executor. sued for damages
for the death of his decedent, resulting from
injuries received while travelling on the
road. The lower court returned a verdict of
5000 for the plaintiff. Alexander Hum
phrey of Louisville, for the appellant con-
tended that because the common law alb
solved a man from liability to criminal pros
ecutfon for injuries inflicted upon another
where the victim did not die within a year
and day after sustaining the injuries, the
railroad company could not be held in DAM
ages for injuries where the victim did not
die within a year and day, as was the
case in this point.
Gen. Miller replied that whatever might
be the application of that proposition in
criminal cases, it had no bearing upon civil
cases. and could not be successfully pleaded
in defense

THE HORSEPOWER CASE,
RumOr n to the Effort Being Made to
Defeat Confirmation.

The rumor is abroad to the effect that
Senator Hill, in his earnest desire to defeat
the nomination of Mr.. Hornblower as Su-
preme Court justice, has taken advantage
of the delay occasioned by the failure of
the committee of the judiciary to report the
nomination to make a personal canvass of
the democratic Senators in the hope Of Sc
curing enough personal pledges to defeat
the nomination when IT eventually comes
before the Senate. This rumor has been in
persistent circulation for day or so past.
There can be no confirmation Of it obtained.
as the Senators whom Mr.. Hill has taken
into his confidence are not liable to make
any exhibition of their private assurances
to him, and. presuming that he has en-
gagged upon this propaganda, it is fair to
assume that he has selected his material
with such great care that the names of no
friends of the administration can be found
upon his memorandum list of callers. In
other words he has probably not approached
any Senator who is at all favorable to the
nomination. The Star has ascertained with
reasonable certainty that IL such a move
ment is really on foot 1t has been conducted
with extraordinary secrecy and has not
reached the ears Of any of the Senators who
are DESTROYS to have the nomination con-
firmed.
Pamphlets have recently been circulated
surreptitiously containing indefinite charges
against the judicial and legal capacity OF
Mr.. Hornblower, based upon certain of his
decisions, as referee in New York cases,
which were subsequently reversed by
higher court. These papers cannot be traced
to any definite source, but the general un-
is that they have all been cir
culated with the full knowledge Of the two
Senators from New York. Senator Pugh,
chairman of the judiciary committee, is
quoted today as saying that the plea of
the Supreme Court for full bench
to pass upon constitutional questions will
not have a particle of effect in Fastening
the action Of the committee on the nomi-
nation.
1t was confidently expected yesterday
when Senator voorhees,, whom the Presi-
dent is supposed to have chosen as his
personal representative in the matter of
the nomination, moved an executive ses-
sion, that the Hornblower nomination would
be acted upon, but it was ascertained after
that the committee had not
yet reported the name and could not indi-
cate when 1t would do so. The nominat ton
has now been before the Senate for sew
eral months.
