System of Relief Work.

The work of caring for the survivors
has progressed rapidly and good results
have been accomplished. The relief com
mittee inaugurated a systematic plan of
extending help. In addition to food and
clothing received, large barge of coal
came from Caseyville by way of Evans
vile, Ind. The arrival was a Godsend,
for the weather is cold and the lack of
clothing, next to hunger, has been the
greatest want of the survivors. An ap-

the message preceded their departure. The
second reason, and perhaps equally po-
tent with the other, slowly drifted into
public comprehension late in the day This
was that the Spanish Government, after
what plainly had been most exciting times
in inner Spanish circles at Madrid, had
decided to reopen the case, closed, so far
as this Government was concerned, by the
refusal of Spain to make satisfactory re-
sponse TO the representations made by the
United States last week. and, in order to
avert impending war, had decided to make
concessions heretofore refused.

REPORT ON PENSION MATTERS.
Corporal Tanner Attacks Pension Com
missioner Evans.

The morning session of the encamp-
ment was devoted to reports. the first
and most important being that of Com
mander-in-chief Goblin. The afternoon
session commenced at 2 o'clock The
first business in order was lengthy
report from the committee on pensions.
The report was extensively an effort
to refute the charge that the pension
roll was a roll of dishonor. It cited the
fact that expensive Investigations had
been undertaken by the department OF
different states and that after close in
Quiry there had been not a single case
of fraud discovered which could be
traced TO a member OF the Grand Army
of the Republic. The report went on to
say that the roll was distinctly a roll of
honor.
When a motion was made to accept
and adopt the report Corporal Tan
ner, of New York. arose TO discuss it.
He said that in the main he agreed
with all the committee had said But
in. regard to that portion Of the report
which dealt with the administration OF
the pension office he did not agree and
he went on to speak in unrestrained
criticism of the present commissioner
OF pensions Evans With evident feel
inz he said: Il stand ready to be re-
spor.sible here and elsewhere for ali
statements / may make on this subject.
and declare that Commissioner Evans
calling his chiefs of division together
ans using language which indicated in
tense feeling. if not anger. instructed
them to disregard totally every applica-
ton based on deafness or rheumatism"

War Paint Very Promptly.
Reno, New, Sept "a bombshell was
exploded in the Democratic convention
yesterday when the comittee on creden-
tials reported that about forty delegates
were not entitled to seats. Chairman
Ryan, of the committee on credentials
asserted that he had received letters
from the state central committeeman Of
Humboldt county stating that there
were no Democrats in Humboldt and his
surprise was great when a bundle of
Humboldt county proxy credentials was
laid on the credentials committeee's ta-
Bile.
General r. NJ. Clark demanded to see
the credentials of the Humboldt county
delegates and also the letters claimed to
have been received by Ryan. Chairman
Ryan left his seat and approached Cen
eral Clark. saying: 'If you presume to
doubt my word we will settle it right
here and now" Every delegate in the
hall was his feet in an instant, but
Chairman Webber finally succeeded in
restoring order.
Reno. New, Sept. 9.-The question of
fusion here still hangs fire. The silver
convention has appointed a committee
to confer with the Democrats.
