TO BE PRESSED TO THE END.
The Issue With Nicaragua Over It's
Refusal to Receive MinIster Merry

The Department of State Is about to press
to the end the issue that has been raised
between it and the government of Nicara-
qua growing out of the refusal of Nicara-,
qua to receive d United States minister in
the person of Captain Merry of California
The President in his message to Congress
alluded to the matter, and now it is the in
tenton to allow the United States legation
al Mahagua, the Nicaraguan capital which
has been closed through the retirement of
eX-Minister Baker, 10 remain closed entire

fornia for several months, awaiting the end

ing on with a view to his reception as
minister to Nicaragua, has just been or
aered 70 proceed to San Juan in Costa
rica and take up his mission there. He
Will san for his post on the 18th.
pr. Hunter Of Kentucky, who has been
appointed United States minister to Guate-
luaia and Honduras, was at the State De
partment today, and having received his
hnal instructions, will sail from New York
on the 10th instant. He goes to Guatemala
City, the capital of Guatemala but as his
case Is in many respects similar to that of
captain Merry. 1t Is probable that he will
be confined in his ministry to that country
and VIII not be received in Honduras to
winch country he is also accredited, In
that case. Honduras will also be wit bout a
United States legation.
The trouble in both cases arises from the
TACT mat when the greater republic was
formed, 1t was agreed among the party ma
IONS tnat their foreign relations should be
conducted through a diet. and thev in
"sted that ministers from other countries
should be accredited to this diet. Now Con
sress had divided the missions in Central
America in such fashion that each of the
TWO missions includes a country within and
one without the greater republic, and thi,,
TACT was repugnant to the nations in the
league Owing to the terms of our aDpro
pflation act the President was Obliged to
accredit the ministers to the countries
named In the act, Captain Merry to Mica
raSua and Costa Rica, and DR.. Hunter to
Guatemala and Honduras and had no
authority to accredit them to the diet. so
the persistence that Nicaragua and Hon
duras nave shown in their position has re-

chce OF any United States minister and
threatens to do the same with the other
In tbs case 1t will be interesting to note

PENSION CLAIMS REJECTED.
Several Important Rulings by As
sistant Secretary Davis.

Several Important Rulings by As
sistant Secretary Davis.
Mr.. Davis, assistant secretary OF the in
terror, has made rulings in several cases
which will affect a large number Of claims
now before the bureau. One of them is in
the claim Of Gardner P Van Alstine, late
Company E, It'll New York v. H. A. The
appellant Is o pensioner under the general
law at the rate of $45 on account of loss
of right leg SO near the hip joint as to pre-
vent the use of an artificial limb. He ap-
plies for an increase to So per month for
total helplessness. The report Of the medi-
cal referee under date of September 81
1897, says: 1.-The present rate of $40 per
month Is the specific rate allowed for loss
of leg so near the hip joint as to prevent
the use Of an artificial limb for which
soldier Is pensioned. The helpless condition
OF the pensioner is shown to be due in part
to rheumatism and disease of heart for
which not pensioned." In his decision, AS
sistant Secretary Davis says:
THE mere fact that the claimant Is dis
abled to such an extent as to require
the constant aid and attendance of another
person is not sufficient to entitle him to a
rating of So. 1t must be shown that the
disabling cause or causes are either due to
his military service or that they are the re-
suit of the cause on account of which he
is receiving pension. In this case the SOL
der is in receipt of pension of $40 per
HlOHtn on account Oh amputatlOn SO near
the hip joint to prevent the wearing of
an artificial limb. 1t is not alleged, neither
is it attempted to prove, that rheumatism
and disease of heart which appear to be
shown in part to contribute to the claim
ants present condition, are due to his mill
tary service, or that they are the result of
amputation. l am therefore constrained to
hold that the claimants present condition
is due in part to other than the pensioned
causes, and therefore the claim is re-
jected."
Another claim is that of Marion johnson.
late Company c, list Iowa Cavalry. In
this case there Is evidence as to the
existence of the pensioners disability for
the time to which the appeal relates other
than the certificate of medical examina-
ton, as found on file, there being a mass
of evidence in opposition to the board of
examination, and in this case Assistant
Secretary Davis makes the following i'm
portant ruling, to-wit:
THAT the ratings given by a board of eX-
aiming surgeons are not necessarily to be
accepted by the pension office. They are to
be considered in connection with the de-
scription given by them and the other evil
dence to the extent of disability, and .he
rating for pension fixed accordingly"
Claim for Increase in this case was re-
jected.

NOW IN BUDGET COMMITTEE
Sharp Discussion of Naval Bill in German
Reichstag.
All Parties Anxious to Know How the
Necessary Money il to BE
Raised.

BERLIN, December 9-The reichstag to-
day resumed the debate on the first reading
OF the governments naval bill Herr Ham,
macher, national liberal, said that his party
unanimously approved the principles of
the measure and attached the greatest i'm
portance to the navy. In connection with
the export trade, the speaker thought the
commercial policy of the United States and
Great Britain should be particularly con-
Sidered.
Herr Caller, peoples party said his
party would oppose the bill. which. he as
serted, was the first step toward the estab-
llshment of naval absolutism.
Guns" Herr Caller continued, cannot
open new markets. South Germany is alb
soiutely opposed to the measure
herr Zimmerman said the reform party
desired to favorably consider the measure,
but they demanded guarantees that the
burden of new taxation would not fall upon
the distressed middle classes. He believed
a majority of the party would vote for an
amended bill
The Bavarian Peasants Association, said
Herr Hilpert, reserved Its decision pending
the governments explanations relative to
the manner of providing the money neces-
sary.
After other speeches had been delivered
the naval bill was referred TO the budget
committee.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
pecial Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, December 9.-The condition
OF the trading on the stock exchange TO-DAY
was of a much broader character. and was
quite active There was a steady continua
ton of the upward movement all day. and
more contented feeling was in evidence
amongst the large buyers, who have been
taxing all the stocks of late. That the real
outsiuer mas been absent from the stock
market there seems to be no doubt, but ii
Is certainty that there has been 4 great
zeal OF money invested in the bond market
recently, which has caused an unprece-
dented state of activity. There was still
the same activity in this market todly
with further improvement in all classes.
The commission business was more active
To-Day than usual, and the general opinion
was that outsiders were after stocks.
The opening of the market was quite dull
with figures slightly lower but London
orders soon commenced to be felt. and
with large orders from commission houses
jointly caused an early rally. This early
movement continued throughout the Gay
with very slight recessions. There was no
particular news in evidence, and no scnsa-
tonal features to the trading.
The disposition of the traders regarding
the Sugar dividend seemed to have changed
over night, for at the opening they COM
neHceQ 10 buy the stock and ii easily raj
lied two points. 1t was comparatively quiet
today and fiuctuated within this radius
Manhattan scored the greatest rise of the
active specialties today, advancing from
JOG to 1881. The buying was from a source
that is closely identified with the affairs of
the company. The decision of the appellate
court as regards the legality of the pro-
posed underground rapid transit plan is ex-
pected every day now. and the general Cos
sip is that it will be favorable to the pres
ent systems. Metropolitan was likewise
strong, and after opening up one point it
further advanced.
There was the same marked strength
among the grangers and southern stocks.
or the latter group, Southern preferred
was the most prominent on continued talk
regarding probability of dividend.
The weakness in Union Pacific was due to
the news from Washington to the effect
that the Senate had passed A resolution for
the postpon ement of the Kansas Pacific
sale, and seeking further information of
the Attorney General.
The foreign exchange market was shade
fIrmer, with rates abroad the same. The
demand was fair. The range of prices con-
tinued upward to the close. with slight
slump in Sugar during the last hour and
further decline in Union Pacific the eXcep-
tons.
