Queer Action of a Democratic Cau-
Gus at Portland, Mich.

Detroit. Mich. Aug. So.-The queer spec
tacle of a Democratic caucus indorsing a
Republican governor was shown today
at Portland, Ionia county, when the con-
vention refused to instruct its delegates
to vote for man who had not supported
Gov. Pingree, and applauded the speech
of Delegate Ramsey. who stated that he
proposed that the Democratic candidate
should be pledged to agree to vote for
Pingree measures. Ramseys speech,
which created great enthusiasm, was to
the effect that all parties must now vote
for men for the legislature who would
represent the peoples ideas, regardless
of anything else.

he pension roh was O roll Of dfahonor.
II cited the tact that expensive inYe1-
legations had been undertaken by the
departments Of different states and that
after close inquiry there had not been
single case OF fraud discovered which
could be traced to member Of the g.
A. r. The report went on to say that
he roll was distinctly q roll OF honor
The committee gave figures showing
that the death rate was rapidly increab-
ing among pensioners. The number
dying each year now exceeds 10000. It
Is estimated that the increase In the
number Of deaths each year WIT be such
that In 1920 the number Of pensioners
will be reduced to Httae over 10000,
and that In 1870 the list will be obiiter-
ated.
When q motion was made to accept
and adopt the report, Corporal Tan,
ner OF New York, arose to diBcusS It.
He said that In the main he agreed with
all the committee had said. But in re-
gnrd 10 that portion Of the report which
dealt with the administration Of the
pension oiiice he did not agree, and he
went on to speak in unreserved criu.,
olsm Of the present commissioner OF
pensions, Hon. II. Clay Evans. With
evident feeling, he said: II stand ready
to be responsible here and elsewhere Tor
statements may make on this subject,
and declare that Commissioner EYana,
calling his chiefs Of division together,
used language which indicated intense
feeling, II not anger, instructed them 10
disregard totally every application
based on deafness or rheumatism. He
further lntimated to them that u anyone
declined to accept his suggestions he
would find chiefs who would obey his
orders"
AT this point the speaker was inter
rupte6 by a point OF order that he had
no right to indulge In personal criticism
Of any officer Of the government. the
ommander-ln-chlef ruled that on mo.
tlon Of this kind, covering the official
conduct Of an officer OF the government,
Il was In order to discuss the manner
In which be performed his official duties.
Tanner went on at much length, say
Ing that in his opinion It was clear that
the man who could make such an or
der as to deafness and rheumatism had
never himself heard the sound OF can
non nor slept in the open air, and he was
not surprised therefore to find that the
commissioner Of pensions had an army
record which consisted Of three months
and sixteen days as a clerk in the. com
mIssary department. Tanner urged the
encampment, as sovereignS Of the ma
tion, 10 demand that justice. IL not lib
ernlity, be followed by the government
in all its dealings with the soldiers.
A delegate from Kansas followed
Tanner In the like strain denouncing In
unmeasured terms the unfair and Nib
eral spirit in which the rulings OF the
pension department. were made. The
matter was disposed OF hnaiAy py post
ponemeftt until after the report Of the
committee on resolutions was received
It Is understood that a number OF res
olTitions have been sent in to the com
nrfttee bearing on the conduct or the

WASHINGTON, Sept. s.-Admlnis-
tratloh officials have mad NO recent
cause to feel that a critical condition OF
affairs was near at hand with the in
surgent forces Of the Philippines.
It will be recalled that Major General
Merritt before starting for Paris adj
ylsed the insurgent leader, Aguinaldo.
that the authority Of the United States
In and about Manila must be respected
and that in the interest of a quiet and
orderly administration Of affairs It was
desirable for the Insurgents to vacate
the suburbs Of the city within a reason
able time. About that time Aguinaldo
gave assurances OF cooperating with
the American forces toward the main
tenance Of order and there has been no
reason to believe that his adheTents
would give serious opposition to their
removal from the suburbA The time
within which the movement Is to be ace
compllshed has not expired, according
to the understanding here, and satis-
factory arrangement Is expected before
the time arrives. In the meantime, no
reports have come from Gen. Otis. who
is acting governor pending the absence
Of Gen. Merritt. as to friction with Ag-
unlnaldo over his retirement.
Reports have been circulated that the
President received a dispatch from Gen.
Otis yesterday saying that he had Civ
en- Aguincldo until to-day to Vacate the
suburbs or else take the consequences.
This Is erroneous, however, as no such
crisis has been reported by General Otis
and the reports appear to have grown
out Of the original orders given BY Cen
Merritt. There IL no uneasiness In of
ficial circles over our relations with the
insurgents, as the American officers at
Manila have thus far shown an ability
to cope with the situation so tacttuny
as to avoid entanglements and friction.
