Liberal Buyins by the Letter Inter

Chicago, March 2l.-Predictions of cold

and the Letter interest caused a higher

THE INVALID PENSIONS BILL.
Causes for which Pensions May b.
Cancelled.

A report on the Overstreet invalid pen
sions bill has been made to the House,
It favors prohibiting the Withdrawing
suspension or cancellation of any pension
except for fraud. clerical error mistake
of fact or recovery from disability.
A further provision in the bill is a re-
quirement of sworn charges in each case
the reduction of all evidence to writer
questions and answers and prevents ad-
verse action until the determination OF
such an investigation to be held near the
claimants home, at which the claimant
and attorney are to appear.

A careful operator in the stock market
said TO me last night, of the general stu
alton:
There is every reason why the man
who cares anything for his money should
stay away from this market. except he
be the worst Of scalpers, who has no
pleasure except in taking long chances
for his money. The Cuban situation is
so complicated and so full Of possibilities
in a thousand different directions that
the prudent spectators are unwilling to
take risks for either the long or short
account. / do not believe that the Presi-
dent himself knows what he will do
With ten points margin l would be will
ing to sell the market. and with twenty
points l would buy, but that does not
mean anything in particular"

Secretary Long announced yesterday
afternoon that he had information that
the report of the Court of Inquiry will
not be in the city until Thursday or Fri
day at the earliest. From another source
as reliable ii is known that the President
has had reports of the work of the court
and of its findings for the last two weeks.
The only inference to be drawn from
these two facts is that for some reason
the Administration is keeping back its
knowledge. This could hardly be con-
strued to be in the interest of war and
the presumption is strong that it is in
the interest Of peace, and not an honora-
BILE peace, either. This fact ought to be
good for a short rise in the market this
morning. The report itself can hardly
have any Other effect than a bad one
temporarily at least when it is given to
the world

CLAIM OF ROACH HEIRS.
IT Again Makes Its Bow to tn
House.

The greater portion of yesterday after
noon was devoted by the House to a de
bate over the bill to pay the heirs of the
late John Roach, deceased, 1880 AZ for
labor and material, dockage and deten-
ton and occupation of yards and shops
for the gunboats Chicago, Boston and
Atlanta.
Mr. Minor of Wisconsin made a long
argument in favor of paying the claim.
His remarks were the most important
of any made in behalf of the bill. The
antagonism to the claim will be devel-
oped Friday, when the debate will be re-
sumed The claim is an old one, and has
for a long time been before Congress.
