There will be no investigation of the
Pension Office under the resolution re-
Gently referred to the Pension Commit
tee, calling for an investigation as to
why the commissioner had made a rul-
ing that applications for an increase of
pension shall not be considered with
in one year from the date of the filing
of such applications. In response to
request from the Senate committee
Commissioner Evans sent to that COM
mite communication in which he
says that there are some matters con-
nected with the Office in which discre-
ton must be lodged with the commits
sioner, and this is one of them. There
are now on file 100000 applications
for pensions and 100000 applications
for increase in the rates. If the appli-
cations for increase were taken UP out
of order and pushed, the commissioner
says the department would never
reach the applications for original pen
sions, and this would work manifest
injustice to those who may have legiti-
mate claims. and who are now not re-
ceiving any pension whatever. He
holds that it is better to look after
those not receiving any pension at all
than to put in all the time of the bu-
reau endeavoring to increase existing
pensions. The commissioners reasons
for the rule are perfectly satisfactory
to the committee.

There is one man in the House who,
each day in the week, Sundays except
ed, makes a speech which fails to get
into the Congressional Record. AT
first, two years ago. when this gentle
man began to make his speech and
failed to see it reported in the Record.
he felt aggrieved, but after having been
daily ignored during the sessions of
Congress, he has finally become recon
ciled to his fate. but is none the less
vigorous in making it. The gentleman
in question is Mr.. B. w. Kennedy, as
sistant doorkeeper. who. at fifteen min
utes before IL o'clock, ascends the roS-
trum and says:
Gentlemen, it is time to clear the
floor, and all persons not having right

Mr.. Bodine of Missouri. while talking
about the Cuban conditions yesterday,
informed a Times representative that
he had no apprehension of trouble.
1T is well understood" he said, be
tween Mr.. Mckinley and the Spanish
minister that warships were to be
sent to Cuba, and there is no signifi-
canoe in the orders to the Maine rela-
tive to the belligerent rights of Cuba
The Administration and Republican
party in the House have shown by
their action and non-action that it is
their desire that the system of duton-
omy proposed by Spain shall succeed
either by the voluntary or compulsory
consent, of Cubans. The Administra-
ton win do absolutely nothing that
has the least tendency to prevent that
result.
In fact. l believe that the great in
terests that control the legislation of
the Republican party sympathize
with Spain and desire her success
whether by giving autonomy or other
wise. | refer. of course, to the moneyed
and corporate interests that elected
Mckinley, and to whom he and his
party are under obligations which

Yielding to the entreaties of the Bish-

commands to the congregation OF rites
that the demand for the canonization
of Joan of Arc. the Maid of Orleans,
should be accorded precedence over the
27I cases which were before 1t on the
list awaiting the final action OF the
congregation.
The Pope is of the opinion that the
early proclamation of Frances most
popular heroine as a saint win go far
to counteract the spirit of materiahsm
and atheism which is spreading with
such gigantic strides throughout the
length and breadth of the republic For
the past year the Bishop OF Orleans has
been, with the assistance OF a commits
sion. busily engaged in collecting &c
clesiastical and secular evidence with
respect to cases where intercession is
supposed to have resulted in miracles,
and the report of the inquiry, compris-
ing nearly 1000 pages, has just been
presented to the Pope.
The good will of Leo XIII in thus
according precedence over all other
cases to that of the Maid of Orleans
cannot fail to crafty the French, at
any rate those who have retained their

Mr.. Smith, of Arizona, has had a

Indians, and he is firmly convinced that
the best Indian is a poor specimen of a

that he was opposed to granting an ap-

the purpose of educating few In
dians. An educated Indian, he assert
ed, cannot mingie with his tribe and
adopt their ways. He is ostracised oy
the whites and as a. result he is per-
son without a country.
You can't make a man of an indian

only way to really benefit him is to
teach him trade. Teach him to work,

TECHNIQUE OF LAPAROTOMY.

DIR. Frederic Holme Wiggin of New
York Operates at Hartford Hospital.
One of the most difficult operations
that has been performed in the Hart.
ford hospital was q, laparotomy upon
George BALI, an orderly at the hospital,
by DR.. Frederic Holme Wiggin of New
York, connected with the operating
staff of the City hospital, and an alb
dominal surgeon of much fame. He
came up from New York last Monday
noon and at 12:45 had begun work upon
the operation, which was for the pur-
pose of releasing adhesions of the intes-
tine succeeding an operation for appen-
dicitis some four years ago, and rene
dying a focal fistula which had been
exceedingly troublesome.
The operation included dissecting out
the old scar, which left an opening by
which the large intestine could be re-
leased from it's adhesions, and brought
to the surface, where 1t was formed in
rolls of aseptic gauze which protected
the further intestines. The edges of the
openings were then trimmed and with
his needle silk was passed through
pursestringwise all around the open
ings. The edges were then turned in
toward the bowel, the pursestring
stitches pulled close and tied. The OPP
GRAFTON was then completed by careful
ly closing the abdominal wall, each
layer separately, the patient having
been under the ether for one hour and
quarter. DR.. Wiggin expects the in
testine to unite in twenty-four hours
and to grow together in forty-eight.
In ten days the external stitches will be
removed, the internal stitches being
left to care for themselves or to remain
inert. The operation was witnessed by
a large number of surgeons of the city
and it was performed by express invi-
tation of the hospital authorities.
In the evening at the Y. NJ C. A.
building, Dr.. Virgins read a paper be-
fore the Hartford Medical society upon
laparotomy and the care of the patient

Mr.. Daniel S. Beardsley, of New Pres

Beardsley's occupation early in life was
that of carpenter, but he had done lit

Beardsley, 80 or more years ago, was in

His business life, therefore, seemed over

His funeral was attended from his late
residence last Friday morning. The
Rev. Mr.. Ockford of Marblehead was
the officiating minister. Mr.. Herbert
Thomas, of New Milford, was called as
