The pension case of Mrs. G. Grea
beau of Cherry Grove. Mimi, will b.
tried at Winona June 2, 1896. This i
case which blood hound Arnold, on,
of the special pension examiners fer
reted out.
Briefly stated the case is as follows
Mr.. @. Greabeau not returning HON,
one night search was instituted
which resulted in finding Mr.. Grea
bean dead in q neighbors field. Pen
sion was granted to Mr.. Greabear
some years before his death for heart
failure and Mrs. Greabean received
the usual widows pension of $l2 pei
month. What Lochren wants ut thi.
late day is absolute proof of his death
being by heart failure in default O.
which Mrs. Greabeau is sued for SIS
90, amount drawn by herself aut
small children for pension with inter
est added.
Naturally at this late day absolute
proof is difficult to obtain but every
points that way and any ordinary OBJ
server would make that verdict. The
government at the time of the pen
sion being granted seemed to be per.
fectly satisfied that such was the case
Mr.. Greabeau on the night in ques
ton stopped at York said he did not
feel well and was subject to heart dis
ease. Went to his daughter and told
the same story, stopped at Geo
NageTs 90 minutes before his death
aud complained there also, then went
on bis way home was met by John
Nagel and II. Capperas who said he
was hanging over his head dropped
down. From there everything is a
blank, his team came home without
him which resulted IN the search and
finding. But no eye witnessed
whether he, unable to control the
horses, was spilled out or whether he
fell out dead. One thing is certain
he was sick unto death. No coroner
was called but the undertaken dis
covered no signs of u broken neck
The last straw to break the camels
back is that the case will be tried be
fore Lochren himself as he has been
appointed judge for Minnesota. Mr.,
A. d. Gray of Preston, the attorney
has thus far been unable to obtain a
change of judge as Lochren wants to
finish up the nasty job he has made
aud does not wish show of Justice

HAVANA, Jan. 2o.-Accordlng to ad-
vices from the front to-day, Antonio
Maeeo has passed eastward south OF
Alqulzar in the province of Havana,
pushing on for Gulra MaIenn and Qul-
vican, while Maxine Gomez is said to
have pushed on eastward to the bor-
ders OF the provinces OF Havana and
MatanEas, apparently going in the di-
rectIon OF the swamp land Of the Gran
Clenaga Occidental de Zapata.
Colonel Molina has notified the au-
thoritles here that the insurgent bands
commanded by Nunez, capote, Alvarez,
and Collazo, numbering about 1900
mon. arc marching in the direction of
Gulnas. The colonel left Bolondron in
the direction Of Alfonso XII and had q
sklrrnlsh with the insurgents, who left
ten killed on the field and retired with
their wounded. The troops captured
three prisoners and six Remington RI
les, and the enemy retreated into the,
swamp land south Of Alfonso XII,
where II is believed, from the present
outlook and the movements eastward
OF the insurgents, the enemy intends to
await the arrival OF reinforcements,
coming west under Jose MRceo and Ra-
bi. II all these reports are correct, the
vicinity OF Havana should now be pref
ty well clear OF any large forces OF In
surgents, and the latter must be mus
terlnE In force south OF Matanzas.
A dispatch from Manzanillo. In the
province OF Santiago de Cuba, says that
Colonel SAndval, operating along the
coast with q Spanish column, has de-
stroyed the salt mines in that vicinity
which served as depot and lookout
for the insurgents. The hitter had five
killed'a and retired with their wounded.
A battle OF Importance is reported to
have occurred at Fairones, only five
miles south OF Pinar del Rio. The col
umn Of troops commanded by Major
Sanchez numbering $50, was attacked
by 1000 insurgents under Maceo. Lieu
tenant Colonel San Martin, at the head
OF 300. came to the assistance OF Major
Sanchez, and fierce combat was pre-
clpltated. The official account received
says that the insurgents were forced
to retreat, leaving thirty killed behind
and carrying of 300 wounded. Among
the latter is alleged TO have been the
leader, BermudeE.
Antonio Queseda, mayor OF Havana,
has been dismissed.
At Surprise eight insurgents were
killed and one was made prisoner by
the troops. The rest OF the band dis
persed.

IRENE and dangerous application OF the
doctrine thus far made.
1t was not based on the interests of
the United States but on the force ex-
erted by q strong power against weak
one In South America. 1t clearly led TO
the assumption OF a protectorate by the
United States over Mexico and South
America countries.
II involved the necessity OF our pre-
pairing ourselves with arms and ammu-
milton to execute the duties and obllga-
tions OF such protectorate.
Mr., Sewell said that he felt the cir
cIiInBtnnces OF the moment had led to an
extreme assertion OF our position which
would entail serious results II carried
out by Congress. The first ebulItions OF
popular excitement and the desire OF
some persons to indulge in cheap utter
lnces bnscd on supposed patriotism
was not the best hnSis for intelligent
and serious action. In conclusion. Mr..
Sewell said: u cahnot hut think that a
matter which hal. been slumbering so
many years In state OF diplomatic re-
pose might have been delayed q few
months longer. II seems hardly wise,
Just at this time. 10 have thrown Into
the political arena this further cause for
disorder and disturbance. A jealous
upholdinE OF the nations honor on the
part Of the executive Is to be commend
ed. But we have n right to expect that
discretion and good judgment will bO
exercised In bringing to elimination
an issue so grave and serious as that
now presented"

NEW YORK. Jan. 2O-Theodpre
Roosevelt, president of the board. OF po-
lice commissioners, addressed the
Methodist Minister'S Association OF
this city to-day on the subject OF excise
law enforcement. He told OF obstacles
the police board had met with in the
way OF political influences, corruption
and inefiiciency in the department, etc,
and claimed that in spite Of all this
the law regarding the closing OF sa-
looms on Sunday should be enforced as
other laws on the statute books had
been enforced. He spoke OF the plans
OF the saloonkeepers to procure favor
able legislation at Albany this winter
and OF the boast which has been made
that the consolidation OF New York and
Brooklyn would result in wide

Roosevelt called upon his hearers to

to do all their power to toward pre-

CINCINNATI. Jan. 2o-The Conn
merclal Gazette, in It's series Of articles
on presidential claimants, will print to-
morrow an article by Hon. T. G. Platt.
which presents the merits Of Governor
Levi p. Morton.
Mr.. Platt says that at the Saratoga
Republican state convention last Sep
tember the 75G delegates unanimously
put a plank in their platform naming
Governor Morton as their candidate for
the presidency.
He then enumerates the reasons SUD-
stantially as follows:
First, in all the forty years OF the lifes
OF the Republican party that party has
never held presidential convention In
New York or honored a citizen OF tho
empire state with nomination for the
presidency.
Second. For twenty years no Republi-
can President has been chosen without
the electoral vote OF New York, and Il Is
far from likely that these precedents
will fail in 1886.
Third, While the Democrats have
honored New York with the nomination
for President OF Horatlo Seymour. Hor-
ace IIEetleyt GhHluel D. 1uuelt NGAeAoA
Hancock and Grover Cleveland, they
have also after success strengthened
the hands OF their fellow Depocrats in
New York." the Republicans, on the
contrary. in case OF success, have de-
termined to let their fellows in New
York take care Of themselves as best
they might, without q word OF cheer or
an iota OF encouragement" Yet in spite
of all this dlscouragement, the New
York Republicans twice since 1876 have
secured a national Republican victory
and have responded to all other calls OF
Fourth, The time has now come for
the national convention to listen 10th
voice Of New York when she asks for
the nomination OF Governor Levi P.
Morton as the President OF the United
States.
The article closes with a recital OF
Governor Morton's successful experi-
ence in public life, Joined with his ma
tive ability and upfiinching S'patriot-
ism, emphasize his fitness to grapple
with grave problems likely to be pre-
sented to the Observation-Disclosures

WASHINGTON. D, c., Jan. 2o,-The
tendency toward Increase in expenses
OF United States courts Is attacked by
Chairman Cannon, OF the approprla-
tlons committee. in the report made to-
day on the urgent deficiency bill which
carries ss.2i2,5S2 for these courts. He
calls attention to the growth OF ex-
peuses Of more than 100 per cent from

commissioners. Il Is stated, have in
creased from sl2T. T.15o for the fiscal year
1890 to s3IO. 900 for the current year and
witness fees from Ssoo.ooo to si.50o, 900.
In conclusion. Mr.. Cannon says That
these expenditures are abnormal and
that some reform in the law should be
Instituted. the committee are well salts
Ned. but under the rules OF the house,
they have no power other than 10 rec
omrnend the appropriations which are
necessary TO meet the demands OF this

that the proper committee will take up

whom II took real man TO govern. and
to the lnsatable growth OF form OF
socialism styled protection which has
done more TO corrupt public life," etc.
and II so what action has been taken
thereon by the President.
The answer In the shape OF letter
by Secretary olney enclosing copies of
the two speeches, which have already
been published in the American papers
and stating that except as revealed in
the correspondence. no action has been
taken on them by the state department.
This correspondence begins with q let
ter from Mr.. Bayurd to Secretary OIL
ney. written before the former had re-
ceived any official communication on
the subject. but In view OF newspaper
agitation Of his alleged breach OF off,
cial etiquette.
Mr.. Bayard in this letters calls Mt
tentlon to the fact that the Edinburgh
address was delivered by invitation be-
fore society purely literary and Hclen-
tlfic In character, that no political cam
vasS was pending or approaching in
Great Britain at the time: that the nd-
dress consisted OF his personal optn-
Ions upon governmental institutions In
general, etc, and that there were pre-
cedents, as In the case OF his predeces-
sor. Mr.. Lowell. for an Ambassador of
the United States delivering an address
under such conditions,
on January ,, Secretary Olney cabled
to Mr. BnyRrd for details regarding the
Boston speech and, on the following
day, Mr.. Baynrd replied, recountlng
his participation in the closing exer-
cIses OF the school at Boston. His adj
dress upon that occasion he sold, was
impromptu. and "a kindly, humorous,
postprandial tone prevailed"
Mr.. Bhynrtl adds that the sending OF
a copy OF n local paper containing n
report OF the address to President
Cleveland and 10 O grandchild In Bos-
ton, Mass, constituted all "the pahllcd-
tIon' In the United States, which he
had given H. Mr.. Bayard adds that In
the report OF his Boston address there
ore errors. but rs he spoke without
preparation he has nothing by which to
make comparisons or to show In just
what those errors consisted.
