Washington, April %. The Presi-
dent, to-day, sent to the Senate yetoes
of two Senate pension bills. The first
is in the case of Charles T.. Jone s,
photographer, which attracted con
siderable attention in the House. 1t
is as follows.
ITO the Senate: | return herewith
without my approval Senate bill No.
2l9 entitled an act granting pension
to Charles E. Jones. The beneficiary
named in the bill was photographer
who accompanied one of the regiments
Of the Union army in the War Of the
Rebellion. He was injured, apparently
not very seriously, while taking photo
graphs and where no battle was in
actual progress. He was not enlisted
and was in no manper in the military
service of the United States. Aside
from the question as to whether his
present sad condition is attributable to
the injuries sustained, it seems to me
the extension of pension in such cases
would open the door to legislation hard
to justify and impossible to restrain
from abuse. Grover Cleveland.
Executive Mansion, April 81, 1896 y
The other veto is in the case of the
bill Cor pension TO Nancy G. AlIabach.
1t provides for the pension for Mrs.
Allabach, who ia the widow of Peter
H. Allabach, who served IN both the
Mexican var and the War of the Re-
bollion. The President calls attention
to the fact that Mrs. Allabach made no
application for pension on account Of
disabilities during Mr.. Allabach's life.

the labors of the position with his GUS
tomary vigor. This has unfortunately
told upon his general health so that a
rest was necessary. His people arose
to the occasion and sent him to ATTAIN
