PENSION AGENCIES.
The Subject VIII be Considered at
a Cabinet Meeting To-day.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-At the
Cabinet meeting tomorrow it is likely
that in addition to the considerations to
be given the currency measure, the
Presidents order, now only awaiting his
signature, relative to the consolidation
Of pension agencies, will be brought up
in some form. The Cleveland order re-
ducing the pension agencies from eigh-
teen to nine was to take effect on Sep
tember 1st next. In all probability the
Cabinet will be definitely advised and
consulted as to the document.
The order as now framed will merely
suspend the carrying out of the con-
solidation order of the last Administra-
ton until further notice. There is
feeling that in time all pension pay
nnents should be paid from the agency
at Washington, and the Administra-
tions view is that it might be better to
take this radical action when any
change is made in the system. From the
present, however, the operation of the
cid order is simply suspended, consolida-
ton as provided for being regarded as
impracticable now and involving too
much cost and inconvenience.
Secretary Bliss returned here to-day
and had a talk with the President, and
the action will undoubtedly closely fol-
low to-morrows Cabinet session.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Rights of Pension Claimants in
Line of Duty Gases.

WASHINGTON, July 12-An impor-
tant decision constituting the rights of
pension claimants in line of. duty cases
was rendered to-day by Assistant Sec
retary of the Interior Webster Davis.
The issue is made in the case of Henry
Miller, a private in Company K, One
Hundred and First Ohio Infantry.
After being relieved from guard duty
one day, Miller voluntarily assisted a
teamster in watering mules, and while
so occupied was fired upon and injured.
The Department of the Interior has re-
jected such cases as not in the line of
duty.
Assistant Secretary Davis, however,
reversed the Pension Bureaus action,
holding that the claimant was not dis
obeying orders nor violating army reg
ulations, but was aiding a comrade in
protecting Government property; was
doing something which he not only had
a right to do, but was commendable,
and so was acting in the line of duty.
The adoption of this policy will af-
feet many claims. The case is held to
lie practically similar to that of a SOL
dier hurt by the enemy firing on him
while he was off duty in his tent, in
pursuance of any employment at which
he had a right to be employed.

REPUBLICAN LEAGUE CLUBS.
A Large Attendance at the Nation
al Convention Assured.

DETROIT, July 12.-All fears of a
light attendance of the National
League of Republican clubs were dissi-
pated this evening by the arrival of big
delegations from all directions. Ac-
cording to the registration there are
already 1000 delegates on hand, be-
sides many visitors. The only States
which will not be represented are South
Carolina, Florida, Washington, oregon
and New Mexico.
The preliminary function of the con-
vention took place in the Hotel Cadil-
lac tonight in the way of a reception.
The receiving party consisted of the
President of the League, D. d. Wood
mansee of Cincinnati; Governor Pin
gree, President E. N. Dingley of the
Michigan League, Secretary NJ. K.
Bowling of the National League and
Colonel Henry NJ Duffield, Colonel John
Atkinson and James III. Stone of De-
troit. The delegates passed and shook
hands with the party to the accom-
panment Of stirring music by a big
orchestra. The corridors We're filled
with a crowd of good humored politi-
clans, and the scene was decidedly
merry and informal The only draw
back to the gathering apparently will
ba the absence of noted statesmen now
prominent in public life, most of whom
are detained at Washington on account
of the tariff bill situation. 1t is prob
able that Congressman McCleary of
Minnesota, who is to speak on Wednes-
day, will be the only member of Con-
gress to address the convention.
The gentler sex will not be wholly
unrepresented in the convention. Two
women delegates have arrived, Mrs.
Addie L. Ballou of San Francisco
President of the Woman's State League
State superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton of Wyoming, and President of the
Woman's League of that State.
The general drift of sentiment to-
night seemed to be that candidates who
have made the most stir for the League
offices have no cinch. Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor Woodruff of New York is quite
favorably talked of, Colonel Crawford
of Kentucky and A. NJ. Higgins of In
diana are being doomed and the Penn
sylvania delegation is persistently push
ing w. w. Fleitz of Scranton for the
Presidency At midnight Marcus Pol
lasky of Chicago announced his with
delegates have determined to present
the name of Grant Fellows of Adrian
for this office, and Mr.. Pollasky says
he does not care to enter the contest
without the support of Michigan.

i've during the day in their efforts to
secure an advance to II cents in the
value of wool that may be admitted at
cents. The Senate schedules make
10 cents the figures of demarkation in
value, fixing a duty of cents a pound
on all wool above that price. The
Pennsylvania Senators say that under
this classification ninety per cent. of
the carpet woods would be made to pay
cents duty, and that the result would
be to close out many Of the carpet max
ers. There is a proposition to COM
promise the difference by retaining
the Senate classification, but allowing
a drawback on all woods which it can
be proven are used in carpet making,
on which cents may be paid.
The House is also standing for it's
rates on first and second-class wools,
which We're reduced by the Senate, with
a good prospect of success. There was
quite a movement on the Democratic
side of the Senate to insure a firm
stand for free burlaps, cotton bagging,
floor mating cotton ties, etc, placed
on the free list in the Senate, and to
hold white pine at 81 per thousand
which was authenticated, that the
committee had tentatively agreed to re-
store the 81 rate on white pine. and to
restore the other articles mentioned to
the dutiable list These were made in
the Senate by changes ranging from
one to five votes, and the supporters
of the Senate's action expressed the
opinion that they would be able to hold
all the votes for a motion to reject the
conference report that were originally
cast for the amendments. To do this
they would have to make sure not only
of Senator McEnery's vote, but of
some Republicans, such as Senators
Carter and Hansbrough. The PROPOSE
ton bids fair to develop an interesting
situation in the Senate if the commit
tee on conference adheres to its pres
ent determination with regard to these
articles.

Morgan spoke for over three hours,
appealing to his associates to support
the amendment, and prevent the cons
summation of what he regarded as a
serious menace to the Government.
Hale, in charge of the bill, made the
point of order that the Morgan amend
ment was new legislation, and not ap-
propriate in an appropriation bill. He
agreed, however, to withdraw the point
of order if a vote could be taken with
out delay
White demanded a nay and aye vote,
which promised to bring business to a
halt, as Hale declared that there was
not a quorum of the Senate in the
chamber or in the city.
Thurston briefly controverted the
points of Morgan's amendment, saying
the pending proposition was designed to
prevent the taking of the Union Pacific
question out of the politics of the West,
and also endanger a settlement on a
most advantageous basis. He renewed
the point or order withdrawn by Hale.
The presiding officer, Clark of Wyom-
ing temporarily in the chair, announced
that he would submit the point of order
to the Senate.
The vote was about to be taken, when
Hale withdrew that paragraph of the
bill to which Morgan's resolution was an
amendment, thus disposing of the en-
tire subject.
The bin was then laid aside, and at
t:53 the Senate held an executive ses-
sion, and then adjourned.

MARRIAGE LAWS OF PERU.
Protestants Complain That They
Are Disseminated Against.

CHICAGO, July 12.-At a special ses-
sion of the Chicago Methodist Minis
ters' meeting to-day Rev. John Lee,
Chairman of the Committee on Relig-
ious Liberty for Protesitants in South
America, read the following letter,
which was in reply to a communication
addressed to President Mckinley pro-
testing against the discrimination
against Protestants in various South
American Republics:
Washington, June 21, 1897.
"The President has referred to this
department your letter of the 18th inst,
relative to the marriage laws of Peru,
Bolivia and Ecuador. On October Goth
last our Minister at Lima reported that
the Peruvian bill concerning the regis
tratiOn of the marriages of foreigners
failed for lack of agreement between
the two houses. The Senate passed a
bill satisfactory to the foreign ele-
ment, and the House Deputies amend
ed it by providing for civil marriages.
The session came to an end before an
agreement could be reached.
On March 11th last the department
advised cur legation at Lima of its
hope that Peru would adopt a marriage
license law more consonant with the
genaral practice Of modern nations, and
expressed its concern lest the civil
rights of American citizens in that
quarter might be impaired through the
deficiency of the existing law. IT was
further stated that this Government
would be glad to learn that the sub
ject would be revived at the next ses-
sion of the Congress and satisfactorily
disposed of.
"a copy of your letter will be for
warded to our legation in connection
with the instruction referred to. Re-
spectfully yours.

II the Hamburg American freighter Bohemia
carried a crew OF thirteen and made Friday her
usual sailing day. which she does not as a rule
that might account for the ill-uck she has encoun
tered In the last few months. 1t may be remem-
bered that the Bohemia arrived here recently from
a trip across the Atlantic with her bow plates
stove In and couple of her ribs crushed by a
futile effort to run down icebergs In midocean.
Yesterday she hobbled 70 her Hoboken pier lying
over on her starboard side at an angle OF 40 de-
grees. There Is not the slightest question In the
crews mind that sailing on Friday caused the
mishap.
1t was on Friday last week that the Bohemia
left Baltimore for Hamburg. loaded with loose
grain She ran into fresh gale from the south on
Sunday morning, when four hundred miles south
east of Sandy Hook, and did considerable tossing
BY the afternoon of that day decided list 10 port
was noticed, which rapidly increased 20 such an
extent that Captain Petersen decided New I ork
should be reached in short order He put his snip
about but when her port broadside was presented
to the gale the vessel began listing to the other
side The cargo OF grain had taken legs unto itself
and rolling about the mold OF the Vessei III ah
alarming manner. , ..
When the Bohemia sailed up the harbor yester-
day afternoon like blind crab she caused much
speculation as to what new mishap had brought
her in. She will be partially unloaded and pre-
pared for sea again as soon as possible.
