Ti?o Vote In Detail?The Silver Ulll to bo Taken tip To.iluy tu Com* mlttce ? Editor Pclcrsou (iCtH a Consulship. I Washington, Juno 23.?The conference report on the Dependent Pension [ bill was taken up by tho Seuate and Mr. l)3rry epoko against it. i He bolleved that under tho operation ' of tho ponding measure tire annual pen- J slonroll would bo $200,000,000, and the ( cry would still bo (or more. And yet no t Northern Sonutor or Representative t dared to etnnd up in opposition to a pen* ( Bion bill, while a Southerner would be ' availed by friend and foo. He did not r bejieve in that "stand and deliver" man* ' iw?rot-logislation.* ^ Mr. Gorman said the bill would bank- v rupt the Treasury. It the bill became *1 a law thore would bo a deficit of $100,- 1 000,000 in 1802, and that ovou if it did 0 not become a law thore would be a <] deficit of $40,000,000. IIo said the re- i. marks which ho had made were for the o purpose of calling nttention to what the t> Itepublican leader (Mr. Blaine)?"the tl greatest leader that the party had had n in bin day arid generation"?had said as n to the extravagance of appropriations, o nod us to unthoughtful and unwise o legislation in tho matter of revenue. cl Mr. Davis, Chairman of the Commit- $ tee on Tensions, Bitid Sir. Berry had consistently opposed legislation for the benefit of Union Boldieru. Ho denied the correctness of t^o figures given and T said it was a disability,bill pure and simple. He thought the Senate should fulfil the promises mado to tho men who p had saved their country. j? Mr, IngalJs advocated tho conference .. report. This was a sacred obligation ; and ho did not believe the Senate, or 1> the Senator from Maryland, would care h to take the attitude ot haggling over it. C( He wuH in favor of tho removal of the C1 limitation in the act granting arrears of j ptnt-ions. Ho did not care whether it i, coet $ I CO,W0,GOO or $1 ,000,000,0f 0. }{ Mr. Teller declared that no disburse- n ments of tho government met with ^ more universal favor and approval than f( the paying of pensions. w Mr. Vest epoko of the monstrous p, abuses that had grown up under the fr pension bill which was beinj; pressed C1 for personal and political motives. He jj asserted that the pension list was unduly j, swollen in tho State of Indiana, because it was a pivotal State. BJ Mr. Turpie said that he had not heard n Jom. T-..1! ui UUJ III AMUlUUil llJilllHUt IUB ry administration of the Pension Bureau, y Mr. Hawley expressed the hope that the soldiers would cot get the idea Irom B( what had been said tO'day that the Sen- ^ ate was favorable to the payment of ar- ^ reara of pensions or to the equalization ^ of bounties, or to the payment of the difference between paper money and gold. He thought that altogether too si ?much was said about what the Nation owed to its soldiers. The Union sol- T dier would bo very sorry and ashamed Jl to be called upon to say how much the n Nation owed him in dollars. The prom- c( inent feeling in his State was that the ?] needy soldier ohould not sutler, but 7; that nothing should be wasted on a man [\ who did not need a pension for his sup- p port. The true soldiers of the republic did not want to have money wasted. Finally tho discussion closed and the vote was taken. The conference report G won agreed to?yeas 34, naya 18, aa fol* ^ lows: .

Mr. Crokorsaid it is absolute!) mtruo in all particulars. Ho had noi arried a satchel, nor any large sum ol aoney. No such Bum had been raised or such confirmation nor any since, noi iad Grant raised 880,000 for such purlose, lie said he bad visited McCann'e bout the time referred to and afcked IcOann if ho bad heard anything about , rumor that $180,001) hud been raised to :eep Hubert 0. Thompson-in the ollice I Commissioner of Public Works. Mc> Jann thought that "i'om"Adams, who iras intimate with Alderman l'ierson, light knosv something about it. lie iad met Adams in McCann's store by ppointment subsequently, but Adams aid ho knew nothing of the rumor. Thev had no other convention. 'aminany Hall was doing all it could at lie time to tight against tbe reappointlent of Hubert 0. Thompson, and he esired to defeat any efforts made by 'hotiipaon for n confirmation. Turn* lany had a candidate for -the office in no latter part of 1SS4 in Johu McQuatde. ohn Kelly was then alive and the boss f Tammauv Hall. Croker had confernces with him every afternoon. It was also untrue that the witness 'as to get 10 cents on every barrel of anient used by the Department of Pubc Works providing Grant got the nomrntion. He remembered Grant had ,ood godfather for his daughter Florie, nd had given her $5,000 on two occaions in bills as present*;. , mayor grant's presents. It was not given by reason of any rior understanding with Mayor Grant, ho money had boon invested in Octocr, 18S7, in a house at One Hundred and orty-eighth street for the benefit of the hUd, taking a title in his own and his ife'a names jointly. Tho contract for le purchase bad been in the name of Irs. Catharine Frazer, mother of Mrs. iroker. Her name had been used for ;ar a greater sum would bo asked were Iroker'b name given. Concerning property at 23 "VJresfc Tiveny-fifth street, purchased by him on une G, 1SS9, tho name of James Keatig hail been used for a similar reason, ut Keating had not put up the money, ohn Kelly had given him tho Mount t. Vincent restaurant lease, as ho was ot busy at the time. When MeCann ;as given tbe lease he had not admitted bat he owed McCann $3,000, nor does he low owe him a cent, notwithstanding IcCann's statement that Croker owes t.uuu, u uuu uu wuuv to r.uropo no ilt his wife a house and $300 per aonth. On cross-examination by lawyer, Ivins 'rokersaid: "I was originally k mahinist. I was appointed a court oilicer ly James O'Brien in 1SG5 or 1867. I was ?art of the time under Judge Barnard, rbo was impeached. I Bccured the ionization of Alderman myself." A REMINISCENCE OF TWEED TJME8. A document was shown the witness vith one signature cut out. It was a ecollection of .Tweed Times. Croker idniitted his sigoature to it. It was an igreement sworn to before Joel 0. Stev ma as notary public, and signed by 8 lumber of aldermen, including Croker, vho sworo that they would not, ao allerihen, voto to confirm any one, oj )U8s bills of any moment, without consulting Henry W.

Mr, broker said he did not know whoso sig laturj had been cut out, but presumed t was the name .of the man who had uad possession of it before Mr. Ivint jot it. He admitted that Florence Scannel, the murdered brother of John Scanael, was also a member of that Iioarii )f Aldermen. Objection was made to this line o questioning by lawyer Ohoate,and Mr. [Vine made these astonishing ttatcments 4,I want to show that the fag ends o politics in Tweed's time now rule oui politics.

At this reply to Mr. Ivii the. Tammany ites applauded vigorousl; It was at the request of Mr. McCan Hint Mr. Croker had a talk with M Adams. It was for tho purposo ( making some business arningomonl with Adams in tho interest of McCantt. ^ "Has any other public ofllcial tha Mr. Grautever mnde a present of mone n to your daughter?" )f "No, sir." Mr. Croker declared the y no tax was levied on any olBceholtli ir for election purposes. Tho expense! however, in tho various districts wer 18 very heavy. Mr, Croker did not knot d what contributions had been made b; n Judge Bookstaver, Mayor Grant, Mayo ?

Bourko Cockran again auggestei ' calling Mr. Grace to answer these qucai tions. Mr. Croker did not associate ' with such people, and consequently . could not kuow anythiug about aucli J matters. "This man," retorted Mr. ivine, f< "should know that Mr. Grace waa twice f elected Mayor of this city and ia an 1 honored citizen." "Who is 'this man'," asked Mr. Choate. "I refer to Mr. Cockran," replied Mr. t Ivins. i At this there was a great outburst of applause /or Mr. Cockran. Mr. Cockran declared the queries put to Mr. Croker were insulting. Mr. Croker said all appointments made at his suggestion he waa ready to bo held responsible for. Mrs. Croker was then put upon the etand. She denied that *she had ever told McCann that Mr. Croker had gone to Europe and left her uuprovided for; that she had never said Mayor Grant gavo Flossie $-'5,000, or that she had ever sat up all night to guard $180,000 which had been raised to secure Mr. Grant the appointment as Commissioner ot t'ublic Workj.

The tugboat Alice Ecrue, owned by Thos. O'Brien, of O'Brien Bros., of 49 South street, this city, and which had been moored at the foot of Van Buren street, Brooklyn, was blown to pieces at her dock by the explosion of the boiler. The cause of the disaster is not known. The boat is a complete wreck. Asleep on the tug at the time were Captain Oscar \V. Squires, George Cook, and a deck hand whose name is not known. They were killed outright. The fireman had evidently attempted to got up steam, and for some unexplained reason, probably a defect in the boiler, the explosion occurred. Ho is supposed to have been killed also, for he is missing. Melthon Bailey, a deck hand, received a lacerated wound of the hand and was scalded. The ballast scow, Lin)e Rock, which was lyinir alongside tha tin?, hnd h?r side torn out and went to the bottom. It is supposed the watchman on board, whose name is not known, went down with her.

He said: "I never made any c Huch admission, and the statement ia j false. No mistake has been made. 1 tell you the very shortest routo was taken and has been followed. We are getting to those men as fast as human I eflorta directed by science can take us, aud everything is being done that can be. If we could show people with what r we have to contend every one would , understand why the progress seems so * slow. It is not slow. Under the cir- a cumstauces we are pushing ahead won- i, derfuliy fast. I have hopes of reaching the coal by night." Mine Inspector Black, who ia a South a Side man, was in charge of the work of 8 tho two night shifts. He did not come c out till nearly 9 o'clock. He ia one of the 0 coolest-headed men in charge hero. I a aaked him what advance had been made ^ since Sunday, and ho answered: "I c have not measured up the distance, but ? chink at least 30 feet. Du you see that 11 gob'pile there?" Pnd ho pointed to a 8 great heap of loose Blate and dirt. "We * could go through that lots easier than we a. are going through this stuff in the mine., ^ We could keep a drill goiugahead of us," 1 and the stuff could be pulled right back. 8 We are now virtually building a small ^ wooden tunnel. When the two men j who are digging cut down a little stutl 11 they have to stop till it is pulled out and J the new wooden roof built. I can't oay u when we will leach the coal. As soon v as we do we can.ruah things. If we had ? been working through bolid coal we Jj could have reached the men long ago. a This'gob'we are digging through now we met unexpectedly. Wo may get through in the Bame way. I "We may find twenty or thirty feet of clear apace ou tho other side and walk right up to tho coal; but then our work j is not done. Suppose we had gasses in . the Hill Farm mine. If we turn on the 1 ventilation we push the gasses right up v on the face, and an explosion will fol- p low, worse by far tban the lirstone.
