THE FEDERAL ELECTION BILL Being Loft Out of Hi* Schedule the House Will Oppose nn Enrly Adjournment of Coiijsi'ckn?Tlio ltcnsona Tor Opposition. Sixclal DUwitch to the InleiUgtnctr, Washington, August 13.?-Comment to-tfay on Senator Quay's resolution ns to the order of business in the Senate is varied. As has been frequently stated opinion has beon divided in the Senate from the first aa to tho expodien -y of passing tho Elections bill at this session. While thero is little or no opposition to the bill in itself, Quay's resolution has but one aim, the early adjournment of Congress, bo that members of tho Houso may get to their districts as soon as pos* Bible, and this is what everybody desires. But thero will bo decided opposition to anv noHtnonoinont of tho Elections bill nmong thoso who reason from past experience, that instead of re* forming their methods the Ifcmocrats will simply tako advantage of the re* jpite given them to break all records for avery kind of corruption in order to ?ain control of the next House. This is ;he view taken unanimously by the , members of the Committee on Privileges and Elections, who will report the bill favorably at this session. The minority who will vote for Q lay's resolution^ if it even reaches a vote, want to givo tho Democrats one more :hanco to make good their promises of reform in case the measure is held up. This, together with a desire for an early adjournment influences thom more than the present considerations, but the end is not yet reached. Tho House will have lomething to say before auy fiual action s taken, and the temper of the House In this?reBpect is unmistakable. Mean* while the course of the Senate is watch* id with much interest. BUlNh'S IXl'hUVbXTloy. ialvnriorntiN Oppone IIIn DhhIi-u to Dlctnto ttie Term* of tietilmueut. Washington, August ltf.?Mr. Whar,on, tho Acting Secretary of State, who j s in constant communication with Mr. < Slaine at Bar Harbor, says that no initructions have yet been sent to Minister Mizner, at San Salvador, to recogznize he provisional government ol General ( Ezeta. ( That thero is a provisional govern- \ nont?a de facto government?thero is lot the slightest doubt. Whether it is 2 he kind of government Mr. Bluine is ? villingshall bo recognized by the United t states, is a conundrum which now \ jothers the State Department. ( It is admitted at the State Department t hat Mr. Blaine is williug to bo the me- j iium of restoring peace between Guate- 5 nala and San Salvador. To this the pro- [ . isional government of San Salvador j loes not object, but it does object to Mr. ilaine's understood desire to dictate the | enn8 of settlement. President Ezeta, it is said, has reminded our Minister that the intervention of Mr. Blaine has caused the Salvadorean j Sovernment to arrest the advance of its , rictorious troops upon the capital of the 1 iation,by which the independence of the 1 Salvadorean people has been assailed, 1 This admonition is regarded here as put- 1 ing upon the shoulders of the United 6 states the responsibility for whatever 1 nay be the consequences of Mr. Blaine's ( ntervention. Ar Gautemala was the agressor in the y conflict between the two republics, it is 1 jonsidered that San Salvador will feel ( intitled to call upon Mr. Blaine in the ( near future to compel Guatemala, by 1 luch means as he can devise, to accept * proper terms of settlement if there 1 should be any disposition on the part of .hat country to take undue-advantage of ;he respite that Mr. Blaine's diplomacy leetns to have secured for her. , That rumor that Mr. Blaine proooBes lo couple hia offer to recognize the provisional government of San Salvador | with conditions in the nature of a pledge ay President Ezeta to set in operation ' Lhe provisions of the Salvadoran conBti- ' tution, bo as to restore legal government, f if authentic points to a radical departure ' from the diplomatic traditions of the < United Statep, and has no precedent ex- I cept one sent by Mr. Blaine himself ( duriDg the disability of President Gar*. 1 field.

On ho subject ol pensions General Alger ] aid: Tho subject of pensions has been ieen, as all aro aware, the all-absorbing no of the yeai;, During tho early days i tho present Congress it become evi- r ent to tho Tension .Committee, whose ^ L'port ia before yon, that the "service * ill," eo much desired, could not bo en- j cted into n law, many members of bo'b 8 ranches of Congress declaring that they u duUI not vote for an amount that, taken t ith the regular expenditures of the r luvernment, would exceed its revenues. j, am aware that many are disappointed, u ut the committee has been powerless to t ccompliah more than has already been [j one. It is now believed that tho ex- v enditures in pensions, under existing iwe, will exceed $150,000,000 annually. $ lore than 300,000 applications havb j, een made to tho Commissioner of Pen- n onB under tho new disability law, and e imforms mo that applications are k >miug in at the rate of 10,000 per day. u urge as this sum is, it is a great gratiti- 4 ition to know that it is distributed ^ nong our own people. THE DISABILITY BILL. p Much misapprehension exists, I think, * incoming the disability bill heretofore ferred to, passed under date of June a] 'th, 1890. Let mo quote from section : ''All persons who served 90 days or ore in the military or naval service of le United States during the late war xi the rebellion, and who have .been snorably diecharged therefrom, and ho are now or who may hereafter be . illering from a mental or physical die>ility, of a permanent character, not c* le result of their own vicious habits, in hich incapacitates them from the per- aa Finance of manual labor in bucIi a de- T ee aB to render them unable to earn a lpport, shall, upon making due proof ' the fact, according to sucn rules and N gulations as the Secretary of the In- p( rior may provide, be placed upon the . it of invalid penfiioners of .the United atcs, and be entitled to receive a pen- n< an not exceeding twelve dollars* per tL ontb, aud not lees than six dollars per bl onth, proportioned to the degree of . ability to earn support." requirements of the bill. ct Under tho official rujes and regula3ns attached to the bill are the fol- n, wing: "This law requires in a soldiers' te se, "1. An honorable discharge. "2. That lie served at. least ninety fal iys. P1 "3 A permanent physical or mental j* ability to earn support, but not due to clous habits. (It nped not have origi- Ir ited in the service.") ^ By a careful reading of this law and ^ ,f. oflicial explanation above quoted, it ill be seen that, no matter what a an's financial condition may be, if he P,1 physicaliy dieabled from performing ^ auual labor he is entitled to a pension, 8? te conditions being, first, physical dis- " )ility, not necessarily contracted in the irvice; and, second, that proof of auch aI isability may be made upon certificate om his physician probably, and with- ID it the testimony of his former com- *r ,des. Should any member of this en- ac impment to-day receive a permanent ijury, "not the result of his own vieus habits." he would be entitled .to a w snsion.

The lburban traffic still suffers, but as the ew York Central is notorious for the )or accommodations furnished the un ruinates wuo live along its line, it is )t surprising that theee trains should be ie last resumed.

A Ghastly Discovery Whnro Murdorors Once llnd a llemlezvouH. New Youk, August 13?A gang of workmen, while digging a cellar at 20 Elm'street, yesterday, unearthed a quantity of human bones that had evidently been buried fqr years beneath tho site of tho old house that recently stood there. Tho property belong to the A. T. Stewart estate. Tho men wero excavating about fifteen feet below the street level, and clustered in a heap parts of live skeletons were found. Most of the bones crumbled to pieceB at the touch of picks and shovels, but one whole skeleton was got out. It was of large size, and, like the others, was that of a male. It was sent to the morgue. Scattered among tL?u bones wero about two dozen copper penni^Rof tho reign of George IV., and dated 1S06. Tho skulls found had the low foreheads, nrntimdinw chine and other characteristics of people of low intelligence. It is said that years | ago there was a cemetery on the corner | of Elm and Pearl Btreets. The bones I found were all in a heap, however, and there was no evidence of any coffins. The older inhabitants of the neighborhood hint that the bones had some connection with the old house, of which quite a story is told. The houso was a rambling old three-! Btory frame structure, with a brick front, that stood above the highway, which waB subsequently filled, and was built for a hotel. During the California gold, exoitement of '49 it was known as the | California hotel, and was a famous resort for foreigners who were allured hero by i the gold fever. At the outbreak of the war it had become a tenement house. During the draft riots a number of ne-i gross who lived in it were driven out by I a mob, and some were killed in front of the house. It was tbo resort and rendezvous for several years of a noted! ?aug of murderers and robbers. Fierce fights were of frequent occurrence beneath its roof, and u?ly rumors of crime came from the building. Of late years it has been tenanted by respectable German families. Whether the bones are those of Indiaus, murdered negroes or victims of the gang no ono can tell. James W. Fuller, of No. 0 Maiden Lano, walked into tho Etisubeth station house yesterday with a portion of a human 6l*eloton. ' Mr. Fuller explained that whilo dialling a cellar he had found the bones. The Coroner's ollico -was no titled and an inquest will be held to determine, if poseible, tho cause, time and place of death of the person who in lifetime walked around with the bones found by Mr. Fuller. 110!:RIBU; l)BAT/I.
