THEY SPAR OVER PENSIONS.
Grand Army Men Rely on Mckinley
to Redress Their Grievance.

Philadelphia Pa, Sept. 6.-1'he Grand
Army encampment today elected Senior
Vice Commander in Chief, w. G. John
son as Commander-in-Ch Chief TO serve the
unexpired term of two days of the late
Colonel Sexton. and selected Chicago

days proceedings included also numer-
Gus addresses and reports and slgmfl-
cant sparring over the report Of the

complains of the construction of the
Act of 1890 for the relief of the Civil
War veterans and their widows and or
phans not conditioned upon evidence
of service disability. 1t says the origi-
nal construction of this was obligated
in 1893 by unjust and arbitrary rules,
but expresses the confident belief that
President Mckinley will take measures
to bring about a different ruling in the
future. 1t asks that the limit of in
come sufficient ito dcbar widows be put
at not less than $3.50 year, and that
other rigid conditions be revoked. 1t
repudiates the charges of Imitation of
the pension rolls by fraudulent claims
and challenges such assertions. The
report was discussed four hours today,
many delegates favoring immediate
adoption, but the committee was finally
instructed to submit it again tomorrow
with recommendations and resolutions.
The annual reports show 2S7 ,9S1 mem
bers in good standing on June Both;
losses by death aggregated 1904, AMI
that 1,672 deserving sick and manned
are not receiving pensions. A plea

to an accusation of open partallty.
General Zurlnden's admission that
Colonel picquart could not have perpe

a startling incident.

caused to be sent by him to Esterhazy
caused a sensation, as being the first
official testimony to the treason OF
Esterhazy. And it was certainly a
strong point in favor of Dreyfus, the
Importance of which was Immediately
seen by the prosecution and shown sub
sequently in General Billot's broad in
sinuation of completely between Dreyfus
and Esterhazy.
From spectacular point of view,
however, the great event of the sitting
was the battle royal between Nj. La
bori and Colonel Jouaust over certain
questions which the advocate wished to
put to General Billot. NJ. Labori lost
control of himself under the influence
of his deep feeling of Indignation and
his belief that Colonel Jouaust was de-
lberately gagging him i'll the interest Of
the military clique. His voice, which
at first resounded through the court
room, became choked with emotion.
The spectators held their breath as he
retorted defiantly to Colonel Jouausts
refusal to put the questions, his words
drowning Jouaust's voice in an irresis-

ed by his passionate gestures

made relative to the attack on him Sat
urday night, your correspondent had
another interview with Mr.. Is. S. Shep-
pard, who gave the following for pubii-
cation:
Il do not intend to dignity a dirty,
mean wretch like Bernard with q news
paper controversy, but | will not ailcw
him to create the impression, as he is
seeking TO do, that my attack upon him
was dnstigated or encouraged by his
personal or political enemies. | soleau-
ly assert upon the honor of an inno.
cent and injured man that no human
being had any information or intimation
that ! intended to attack him, and he
knows in his guilty soul he lies when NJ
says the act was instigated by his po-
litical and personal enemies. He also
knows he lies when he says that | did
not denounce him at the time ! fired
upon him as the destroyer of my home.
There were numbers Of persons, black
and white, standing near him who heard
it aud win so testify. But he did not
need me to tell him the cause of the
attack In his black and guilty heart he
knows the cause. and when he was
fleeing like a cowardly eur he knew he
was fleeing from the wrath of an out
ragged man.
As further evidence that Mr.. Sheppard
was not influenced by personal and po-
Iifical enemies of Bernard's" to make
the assault. he showed IA letter from his
son, who is off at school and who has
not been in Greenville in four years.
This letter was dated the 18th inst, and
in part reads as follows:
Dear Father:
Il read this morning in the News and
Observer that you had shot at Claude
Bernard. 1t was no more than | had
expected. Write me and tell me all
about it. You ought to have practiced
shooting before You tried your hand.
The paper said that all the people re
gretted was that you missed your marx.
! What did they do about it, and where
is Claude Bernard now? / was mac
when | heard about it, that you did not
kill him."
Numbers of parties at the depot at the
time of the shooting say emphatically
| that Sheppard did accuse Bernard OF
running his home Your correspondent
was present at the trial before the jus
tice and heard Sheppard face him with
the charge while Bernard was on the
witness stand. There are many other
| false things in Bernard's statements
Your correspondent alone is the author
of every telegram sent to the press from
Greenville bearing upon the matter, and
| is in a position to substantiate every
word that has been sent.
