REWARD FOR HUNTER.
Mckinley Will Do Something For the
Defeated Candidate.

Washington, Nay 12-Secretary
Sherman and Senators Lodge, Cullom
and Burrows took up most of the time
of the presidents oday. so that COM
paratively few of his other callers had
an opportunity TO see him. The con-
test for the Swiss mission, according
TO the prevailing White House gossip,
is said to lie between Mr.. Lesshman of
Pittsburg, former president of the Car
negie Steel company, and Brutus Clay
of Kentucky. The friends of the latter
assert most positively that if Leishman
does not press his claims Clay viii be
nominated.
1t is understood that DIR. Hunter of
Kentucky. who made the Drotracted
fight for United States senator as the
Republican caucus nominee, but who
ultimately was compelled to give way
in the interests of harmony. has been
informed by the president that he
would be glad TO bestow uDon him
some fitting position. DR.. Hunter how
ever, has not yet decided whether he
desires a position. The Chilean mission,
which his friends urged IN his behalf,
has been promised. 1T is announced
that DR.. ]. S. James of Kentucky will
be appointed United States marshal of
Kentucky.

it stands at present, and If not materl-

These are the senators who will vote

There is no doubt but that the ma

Washington, May Fin the senate
today the sugar investigation of 1894
was recalled by the introduction of a
resolution by Ir. Allen of Nebraska,
reciting the circumstances of the in
vestigation, the refusal of Elverton +.
Chapman to testify, his conviction in
the courts as a con-umacious witness,
and the present efforts toward his par
don. The resolution proposes that
Chapman be brought to the bar of the
senate TO purge himself of contumacy
as prerequisite to pardon. Mr.. Allen
sought to secure immediate action on
the resolution, but it went over on OBJ
iectionS from Mr.. Gallinger CT New
Hampshire and Mr.. Hoar of Massachu-
sets. The latter criticised the resolu-
ton as giving away the authority Of
the senate. and said he would propose
an amendment with view Of having
Mr.. Chapman punished unless he
purged himself OF contempt, without
reference TO the question of pardon
The consideration of the resolution will
be in order tomorrow

ASSIGNMENTS OF PENSIONS.
Government Refuses to Enforce
Strict Construction of the Law.

Washington, May 12.-Complaint has
been filed at the pension bureau against
the old soldiers home at Rosebury Ore,
alleging that it is violating section 4745 of
the revised statutes, making it a mis-
demeanor for anyone to pledge or re-
ceive as pledge the mortgage sale as
sienment or transfer of any right claim
or interest in any pension certificate, or
to hold it as security for any debt or
promise Some inmates of the home
called attention to the matter and it
was taken mp by several Grand Army
posts, one of which at Roseburg has made
formal complaint.
The bureau has made an investigator
and eXonerated the management of the
home. There are legal authorities botn
Was and decision constituting strictly
the statute cited would. it is stated, be
not only unjust. but lead to serious con-
sequences The evidence shows that the
home directors have required all pension
els TO surrender their pensions to the
treasurer of the home. Four dollars a
month is then allowed each person for
personal expenses and the remainder is
paid to dependent relatives. or if there
are none, the money is accumulated for
tie benefit of the pensioner. This prac-
tice is substantially similar to that in OPP
Grafton At z other Soldiers homes. The
pension bureau takes the position that it
is not eXpedient to intervene in the case,
as the act of March 3. 1898, by implication,
sanctions the requirement, which has been
enforced in most of the state soldiers
homes
