NEW PENSION RULINGS.

 Assistant Secretary Reynolds Decides
 several Points of Interest to Appli-
 cants.
 WASHINGTON, May 20.-Assistant Sec retary Reynolds, of the interior depart ment, has decided that when an attor. ney neglects to explain his clients tail- ure to appear for medical examination on his application for pension, the at torney forfeits all claims; also that a declaration not executed before some person entitled to administer oaths in pension cases is void. If later valid declaration is made it does not entitle the claimant to receive a pension dating back to the fling of the void application. Secretary Reynolds has decided that where pension has been granted to several minor children, the pension of each is chargeable with a proportionate amount of the fee to the attorney by whom the claim was prose- scuted. If a pension to one of the minors should be withheld, there is no fund available for the payment of that portion of the fee.

 NEW ORLEANS, May 1S.-Another out break between white and colored cot ton handlers on the levee occurred yes- terday at Gretna about II o'clock. Sev- eral gangs of negro longshoremen ap- peared on the Gretna wharf prepared to load the steamship Orion with cot ton. For several days past there have been indications of another clash be- tween the races at that point and yes terday small crowds of white men gathered around the ship just as the colored workmen arrived. The latter insisted that their foreman, Dick Smother, should secure them protec- tion before they would proceed to work. He started to cross the wharf to telephone to the agents of the yes sel, when the whites opened fire A dozen or more shots were fired, and Smothers fell with bullet in the leg. He contrived to crawl to the ferry house, where he crossed over to the city and received treatment. The other negroes on the Orion immedi- ately sought places of hiding from the mob, and their complete disappearance from the scene prevented further blood shed

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
Recent Cold Snaps Retarded Retail Trade
 Wheat and Corn Advanced.

NEW YORK, May 1s.-R. c. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: The severe cold snap, with extensive frosts and in some states snow, has fortunately done little damage to the great crops, though much to fruit, but has considerably retarded retail trade. The best news of the week is the ad- vance of 10 per cent. in wages by the Carnegie works, followed by the Jones & Laughlin establishment, and evil dently implying a similar advance by many other concerns. The Illinois Steel Co. is starting its furnaces without granting the demands of employees. No advance has been found practicable in the woolen mills, where conditions as to prices and for eign competition are very different, and about 10,O workers are still idle at Olneyville, where the works should consume 600, 900 pounds per week. In other departments of labor troubles are not serious and the demand for manufactured products increases.
 With material and steady enlarge ment in domestic trade there is still 8 great want of employment in the in- terior for money, which comes hither, $3,500, GOO during the past week, and with the m illions distributed by the bond syndicat on bond account stim- ulate speculation. Accordingly wheat has risen cents, although the reports of injury by frost do not ap- pear, upon sitting, to concern any considerable proportion of the growing grain. Western receipts for two weeks of May have been 2,9l7, ,3O5 bushels, against 2,6OO, 29S last year, and Atlantic exports 3,O59, 4Si bushels, against 4,5G5, 1Ol last year, being re- duced by the advance in price less than would be expected because of generally current reports of decrease of acreage. With only six weeks of the crop year left, the stocks in sight constitute q heavy surplus, if not as large as some western statisticians estimate. Corn has advanced only 15 cent, being ap- parently injured more than wheat, but the acreage gives promise of yield of 2,000, ,OO0, 900 bushels
 Failures during the past week have been 2l1 in the United States, against 2l9 last,year and 37 in Canada, against 24 last year.
