Admiral Howson, of course. did not accom-

of his qualification. In their absence he kept
his seat at the table and gazed unconcernedly
around the room Even when they returned ana
declared that in their opinion he had been dls-
qualified he maintained his imperturbabl bll1ty
His demeanor throughout what would nave peei
a trying ordeal 10 most men was that or one
profoundly convinced of the rectltude OF MS
purposes and the absolute honesty OF his course
When Admiral Dewey told him that ne was eE-
cused from further service on the court. Al
rniral HowisoI, still unruffled, rose, anG Win d
faint smile upon his face bowed to the Huihiial
of the navy, apparently In accompanying ac-

Dewey announced that adjournment would ne
taken until tomorrow morning at IL O'CLOCK.
After adjournment il was decided TO hold no
more sessions until the Navy Department mis-
the vacancy caused by the disqualification OF
Admiral Howison, and announcement to TINS
effect was made accordingly. AS 20 how soon
the department will fill the vacancy or with

When the court had adjourned and the audi,

cheerily responded Admiral Schey, and the two

G.. A. R. AND PENSIONS.
COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF CRITICISES PEN
SION BUREAU WITH SEVERITY.

Cleveland. Ohio. Sept. 12.-The national conven-
ton of the Grand Army of the Republic opened
this morning at the Euclid Avenue Opera House
with large attendance. Intense interest was
manifested by the delegates In the report OF the
committee on pensions. and 1t was generally be-
heved that the convention would take some radical
action bearing that subject.
General Sickles offered resolution at the OPEN
ing OF the proceedings OF the convention rendering
to the President arectionate congratulations upon
his rapid conyalescence for which all civilized na-
tions pray.
The Commander-in-Chief. Leo Rassieur. devoted
a large part of his annual address the matter
of pensions. Without any effort" he said. ION
the part OF the organization it's officers to give
the pension problem any undue prominence that
subject has overshadowed all others and has called
for attention and thought in the past year
than all other questions which concern us"
He criticised the administration of the Pension
Bureau and demanded the honest and fair ad-
ministraton Of laws which already the stat
ute books" Continuing, he said: If officers

his superior officer. the Secretary OF the Interior
what can the poor and helpless old soldier expect
at his hands when he is claiming exercise his
discretion under that law? The exercising of his
in most of the cases than positive denial OF the
benefits prescribed by the law
Commander-in-Chief Rassieur made a supple
mental report 10 his address. in which ne made
sharp attack upon the officers of the Pension
Bureau at Washington. He stated that since he
had prepared his annual address he had seen the
report OF the pension committee and that 1t had
made recommendation 10 a remedy for the
alleged existing evils. He therefore urged that the
committee be instructed 10 prepare charges against
the Pension Committee. and that these charges be
presented 70 the President. asking for an nvesti-
cation of the same.
Senator Hawley. Of Connect tcut. then spoke ar
some length the pension question He recon-
mended that no formal protest be made against
the present administration Of the Pension Bureau.
Senator Hawey loudly applauded
John H Palmer, of New-York one of the leaders
Of the conservative element in the convention. de-
clared to a newspaper man that General Rassieur
suggestions relative the Pension Bureau officials
would be adopted IL would be unwise, he in
sisted. for the Grand Army Of the Republic take
any such radical steps at this time.
