WASHINGTON Feb 9.-The House Ways
and Means Committee took up the Presi-
dents special bond message at the end of
long session to-day. So much difference
of opinion made itself manifest immedi-
atelv that business was postponed until 3
o'clock Monday.
The discussion was entirely informal,
and the Republicans bore the leading part,
particularly Mr.. Reed, whose comments
were numerous. By the Democratic
friends of the party it was argued Con-
gress was confronted with the specific
question of saving for the Government
some $16,00O,0o0. The Republican adver-
saries contended that thirty years loan
to meet what the administration, accord
ing to their construction of it's utterances,
represents to be a temporary necessity,
was inadvisable. They questioned the
policy of negotiating with individual fnan-
ciers for bond issues, and advocated a
popular loan of short-term bonds in small
denominations, which could be taken by
the people of the country.
Mr.. Bynums resolution contemplated
bonds payable after one year and within
ten years, but was changed to the form
given in the foregoing to apply to the
thirty years issue just negotiated. There
was an informal ballot taken on it, but
several members did not vote.

assumed during the last few days.
The calling of the roll of the attaches is
said to be an utter farce at present. 1t was
designed to prevent any man not in at
tendance on the Legislature from drawing
his pay. But the roll consists of 132 names,
and the friends of absentees have kindly
answered to the names of the missing ones
when they were called by the clerk, and at
the end of the week the worthy though
not overworked attaches would turn up
and receive full weeks pay.

FOR A THIRD TERM.

Ex-RepresentntfVe PendletOn Would
Support MIR. Cleveland Again.
Ex-Representative Pendleton Of West Vir-
ginia was in Washington during the past
week. and was accorded an interview with
the President. Mr.. Pendleton gained a
wide reputation during the last session of
Congress as an ardent advocate of admin
istration measures. He did not permit his
name to come before the nominating con-
vention when his successor was to be chos-
en- because, as he now explains, he saw a
landslide coming and preferred to take a
vacation on solid land. 1t Is understood
that Mr.. Pendleton also argued with Mr..
Wilson, the chairman of the ways and
means committee, against running for re-
election, believing it would be best for that
gentleman to avoid the danger of defeat.
Mr.. Pendleton remarked while here that
he was ready to support Mr.. Cleveland for
the presidency for a third term. He be-
leved Mr.. Cleveland was by far the strong
est candidate in the democratic party, in
spite of any weakness that might be de-
veloped by the third term" feature of
such a candidacy.
Mr.. Pendleton had just made a trip
through Virginia and a portion of North
Carolina, and said he believed the free sill
yer movement had been crushed through
out that section. The farmers were still
inclined to want free silver he said but
the business men, almost without exception
were loud in their demands for sound
money!"

CATHOLIC CHURCH AFFAIRS.
Little Expectation of Mgr. Sntollrs

Little Expectation of Mgr. S0tOlli's
Elevation to n Cardinnlate.
Bishop Montesdeoca of the Mexican dio-
cese of st. Louis de Potosi, who has been
visiting Mgr. Satolli, has departed for
Rome. 1t is stated that Cardinal Gibbons
visit to Rome, which will follow his pres
ent visit to Boston, will have no sig
nificance on any of the pending ecclesias-
teal questions, although it is expected that
he will discuss with the pope the entire
range of church affairs as developed since
the cardinals last visit ten years ago.
Mgr. Satolli will remain in Washington
through the summer, although he has made
several engagements to attend church cele-
brations. The opening of the Northwest
ern Educational Institution, in which Arch
bishop Ireland has been foremost, has
been postponed from June until Septem-
ber, at which time Mgr. Satclli will be
present
The speculation concerning Mgr. Satolli's
elevation to the cardinalate has brought out
the fact that it is an invariable rule of the
vatican not to advance delegate to a car
dinalate. The latter office may be filled by
a nuncio, and this fact has been the basis
of reports that Mgr. Satolli would be made
nuncio at Lisbon. There has been no inti-
nation, direct or indirect from the vatican
that this would be done, and there is less
reason for the mention of Lisbon than other
posts, as the present nuncio there has sew
eral years to serve, and is himself likely to
be advanced to cardnalate.

DIR. KERSHNER'S CASE,
Proceedings in the COurt-Martial Sub
mfttcd to Secretary Herbert.


mtttcd to Secretary Herbert.
The case of Medical Inspector Kershner
is now before the Navy Department for
action. The record of the proceedings of
the court-martial, including its findings.
was brought over from New York this
morning by Lieut. Lauchheimer, the Judge
advocate. The proceedings will be revised
by the judge advocate general in order to
establish their regularity to form and
law; and being all correct in those particu-
lars, the case will be submitted to Secre-
tary Herbert for his action. DR.. kershner
was tried on two charges, one of giving
official information to the press in violation
of regulations and the other of perjury in
having testified under oath that he had
not done so. 1t is conceded that the ac-
cused was not acquitted of both charges.
Circumstances tend to show that the court
found him guilty Of some violation of the
regulations as embodied in one of the two
charges, but to what extent has not been
disclosed. II he was found guilty of i'm
properly publishing official matters his
sentence was undoubtedly influenced by a
prior offense of the same general character
during the war, referred to in yesterdays
Star. Official information as to the result
of the court-martial proceedings will be
withheld until after the Secretary of the
Navy has acted upon the case.

CASE OF ADMIRAL MEADE
His Application for Retirement Not Acted
Upon.
Many Rumors ms to the Action of the
Administra tiOn-The Ad-~@~>S
nlirafs Leave.

According to Secretary Herbert, no ac-
ton has been taken in the case of Admiral
Meade since last Saturday, when the de-
partment revoked so much of his leave Of
absence as authorized him to leave the
United States. The Secretary told Star
reporter today that Admiral Meade's ap-
plication to be retired on the Doth instant
had not been acted upon one way or the
other. He positively declined, however, to
give the slightest intimation as to what
would probably be done in the matter.
All sorts Of speculation is meanwhile be-
ing indulged in with regard to the case.
Rumors of All Sorts Are Rife.
One rumor is that the President has de-
cided to retire the Admiral on Monday.
Another is that Secretary Herbert has rec
commended that this be done, but that the
President is still undecided in the matter.
The theory for this line of action is that
it would render the admiral powerless for
further harm, and would in no wise relieve
him from full responsibility for alleged
misdeeds while he was on the active list.
Another rumor is that the idea of order
ing him before a court-martial to answer
the charge of having violated Eaval regu-
Iations has not been abaEdoEed. 1t is said
that Secretary Herbert regards the offense
of Admiral Meade as grave one, which
should not be passed over. He is of the
the admiral are overlooked discipline will
be at an end in the senior grades, for a
precedent will be established under which
the rear admirals can freely criticise their
superiors without fear Of punishment
What Will Probably Occur.
The President is now reported to agree
with Secretary Herbert, and to believe that
for the sake of naval discipline Admiral
Meade must, If possible, be held to a strict
accountability. 1t is also asserted that the
naval authorities will not order a court
for the reason that conviction was unlikely,
but that severe rebuke to Admiral Meade
will be written, and that an order for his
retirement would follow.
Meanwhile, Admiral Meade is still in this
city observing q policy of mastery mac
tivity and silence. He is on leave pay.
Apparently he is not disturbed at the pros
poets in his case. He declines to discuss
the situation, publicly or privately, or to
refer to the incidents that preceded or
followed his detachment from the command
Of the North Atlantic station.
Secretary Herbert had an interview with
the President at the White House today,
presumably in regard to the Meade case.
At its conclusion he said he had nothing to
say about the case one way or the other.
Until the Meade matter is finally settled
it is not probable that an admiral will he
selected to command the North Atlantic
fleet. Admiral Ramsay says that he has
applied for the detail and expects to secure
it. The only obstacle, in his view, is the
possibility of the Secretary declining TO
part with his services.

Decisions. About Attorneys, Fees.

Assistant Secretary Reynolds Of the In
terror Department has decided that when
an attorney ncglects to explain within a
year his clients failure to appeal for medi-
cal examination on his application for a
pension, the attorney forfeits all claim in
the case; also that a declaration not exc
cuted before some person entitled to ad-
minister oaths in pension cases is void. If
a later valid declaration is made 1t does
not eptitle the claimant to receive a pen
sion dating back to the filing of the void
applica ton. The assistant secretary has
also decided that where pension has been
granted to several minor children, the PEN
sion of each is chargeabe with a proper
tionate part of the fee to the attorney by
whom the claim was prosecuted. If pen
sion to one of the minors should be with
held, there is no fund available for the
payment of that portion of the fee.

P A Ul BRAY'S CLAIM
He is Nephew of Mr.. Waller and Was De
ported From Madagascar.
The Charges Against Him Were SINH
lar to Those Against Waller-Am-
bassador Eustis to Examine.

1t is probable now that, in addition to the
case of ex-Consu! Waller, Mr.. Eustis, our
ambassador to France, will be called upon
to press upon the attention of the French
government the claim of Paul Bray, a
nephew of Mr. Walters, who was also
forcibly deported from Madagascar. Mr..
Bray has written from Paris to Mr.. Langs-
ton, his attorney in Washington, a state
ment Of his case, which has been laid by
the latter before the State Department.
Bray was interested with Waller in the
valuable concession of lands obtained from
the Hova government. This concession
was formally recorded in the Hoya govern
ment office and a copy was registered at the
American consulate at Tamatave.
Official Records Furnished.
Mr. Wetter, the present United States
consul there, has already furnished the
State Department with the official records
in the case. The French resident consul in
Madagascar, probably Influenced by rival
French concessionaires, insisted that Mr.
Waller should submit his concession to
him for approval and registry. Mr.. Waller
French officials would promptly reject his
concession and deny him justice. He
claimed that the French protectorate being
coicned by treaty to Jurisdiction over for
give the French officials the right to pass
upon the validity of his concession.
Arrested and Tried.
According to Mr.. Bray's statement, mat
tiers were in this condition when he and
Waller projected trip from Tamatave to
the concession, where the French were max
ing depredatfons upon their valuable rub
ber trees. AS soon as the French became
aware of this move they promptly arrest
ed both men. and tried them by court
martial on charges of aiding the Hovas
and writing seditious letters to them. They
were convicted, though Mr.. Bray solemnly
protests that the charges were absolutely
baseless. 1t is certain that as the trial
progressed the charges were amended from
time tc time so as to humor the prosecu-
ton, and that the men were convicted
upon charges entirely different from those
upon which they were originally arralgned,
most irregular proceeding.
Put Ashore without Means.
Waller was sent to France under twenty
years sentence, and is now in Jail. Bray
writes that he was put ashore in Zanzibar,
without means. and is helpless Mr.. Eustis
has, by instruction Of the State Depart
ment, put himself in communication with
Waller, and is prosecuting his case and
now Bray seeks to have the State Depart
ment secure reparation for himself. and
meanwhile protect both Of their rights in
their concession.
