Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer
WASHINGTON. May 24.-Sin- e < ommis
sioner H. Clay Evans ha:- taken charge of
the prncion bureau the work in that de
partment has been very mttf-rialiy » "der
ated which many old soldiers In the state
of W'ashington wno have applications al
ready pending fyr many months, and in
some cases years, will be glad to know.
• ''•mmtssioner Evans Is a business man
and it* running hi* department on business
methods. The bumWr cf pension eases ad
judicated daily has greatly increased. Per
sonal inquiries mad«* by congressmen are
promptly answered, or at least is promptly
as can be done, taking them up iu their
regular order.
Both the senator? from Washington state
ure flooded with letter* from oM soldiers
who** original applications have not been
decided or who ha\e made application for
increase. Original pensions have b«en
granted to Darwin C. Johnson, of Coulee
<*ity. Peter Hardelfeldu of Orting. and
Nicolas Mori;*, of Walla Walla. An in
crease of pension has h»-en granted to John
I'eaaey, cf Forks. Clallam county. The
p< rcslon of John Heliman. of Port Angeles,
whlcto was stopped some time ago. has
t*< n restorer! at an increased rate.
The claim of William D. L. Dhvlj. who is
now at the Ortlng soldiers' home, ha- h> en
placed In the completed Tiles for hn.»l oon
sideratlon at the earliest practicable day.
The ,'lalm of Oziat* D. McDonald, of BUlne.
requires further examination in Clay coun
ty K._n . tc> determine its merit?. A rim
!lar examination In Ix>s Angeles county,
t'al , is required in the case of Augustus H.
lx>we, of the Sutlers horn". Ortinis.
Ruihard Brown, who has been a resident
of Snohomish county for eleven years,
met with an accident last fall, which ne
cessitated the amputation of one of his
legs. After that he contracted pneumonia,
and is now in need of a pension, for which
hitherto he has made application.
Mr. Brown has a record of honorable ser
vice during the war until near Its close,
when the regiment to which he belonged
was scattered about in small squads at
various points in Missouri The war being
practically over, and discipline becoming
lax, many of the men, he among them,
becoming tired of an aimless camp life,
wandered off and was not present when
the regiment was mustered out of ser
vice.
Application to war department for
Mr. Brown"* record show* a charge of
df-wrtlon standing against him,which cin
n«>t be tvmovfd under existing law unless
different evidence from that accompany
ing his original application is furnished.
It must be shown that the soldier was
prevented from returning to his command
by dl*.-Millies contracted in the line of
duty, or else a special act of congress will
lie necessary to remove the charge of de
sertion.
The application of Fred T. Taylor, of
Tacoma. for a pension wa» rejected som. 1
time since because It was not shown thai,
his disabilities from rheumatism wre suf
ficient to warrant the payment
of any sum to him Mr. Taylor tiled a
protest with the commissioner, claiming
that his last examination had n< t been
considered at the time hi* application w is
rejected. The commissioner now states
that the date of rejection first g\\on was
an error, that Mr Taylor's last examina
tion was considered and that th< rejec
tion was rtiil held to be correct.
William Phillips, of Seattle, also pro
tested that he had not been fairly tr-ated
in regard to the rejection of his claim,
fommtssloacr Evans states that Mr. Phil
lips' rejection was based upon the find
ings of two different boards of examining
surtT«<»ns. who reported th it Mr Phillips'
disutilities were not rateable unii< r tie
pension a t. He has therefore de.iled the
requ» st of Representative Lewis for a re

claim of the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company to the laml having been elimi

M c<_ lure's preference right to purchase is

has refused to refund him the money,
claiming that it has not assumed the debts

here say, however, that the courts will
hold to the contrary, and that the railroad

refund this money in every case where

WASHINGTON. May 24.—The Repub'!-
can i'au us today emphasized the fa. . that
then h- a w!J.* divergence cf o; iniou
.imotis; the Republican x n.ni rs on rates of
duty rt*«d in the \ iriou.- -che.lu'.- - cf the
tar-ff bill. The .seruitors were Irt < aucus
nearly fur hour.-. Th<- only official a. -
nouncemer.t that was nii'le after the ca.;-
e i.- adjourn? 1 w.u* that it was dec it: 1
to appoint three senators. m addit n so the
R; publican members of the fin.i nee oom
if-tiw, who wew to .1 ' as I TO
assist in stt-itinjr the tariff bill ihro-igh. It
was generally stated, how- ver. that an
agreement had been reached that there
should no set spet-ches on the bill from
the H« puhiican side except that of Sena
tor Aldrich. whlcn js to be delivered to
morrow. A resolution of memorandum of
fered by Burroms was agreed to by thosa
pr«»em. It sets forth that tho .-er.?- of
those present. tnere not bem*; a full at
tendance, was that Republican senators
having amendments to offer should pr< >« at
them to the Republican members of the
finance committee, und if the amendments
are approved they are io be offered in the
senate. If disapproved the senators pre
senting them are to have the right to sub
mit them to a Republican caucus, which is
to l>e called upon each separate amend
ment. The finance committee is to hold
(sessions each evening for the purpose of
hearing proportions trom senators and to
decile upon the advisability n t presenting
such amendments in the fenate.
The object of his proposition is to pre
vent the Republicans from dividing upon
various schedules which might be pre
sented. The necessity of this arrange
ment was developed by the debate und
the various contentions of senators.
In the early part of the caucus Senator
Aldrich was called upon for an explana
tion of the bill and some of the amend
ments. During the remarks Senator Cul
lom called for a statement on the sugar
schedule, over which there had been so
much controversy. The explanation was
largely technical, but the senators who
heard him understood that the house
schedule would largely exclude the
coarse and low graJts fro.n Jbiva, the
Philippine islands and other points The
protection in the senate bill was 75 per
cent, and equalized the hi>th protection on
low grades and hish grades. The effect
of the house schedule would be to shut
out lower and cheaper grades of sugar,
the system of compound duties presented
by the senate bill being for the purpose of
making this equality. The average rate
in the senate bill was 75 per cent., with a
differential of l & of a cent on reiined
sußar. Senator Aldrich said that this was
not as advantageous to the sugar refiners
as the house bill. The explanation seem
ed to cause general satisfaction. At least
no one questioned him further.
There was some discussion upon th*
length of time the bill should be under
discussion.
Debate on various schedules consumed
the time of the caucus. A groat deal of
opposition was developed to the increas
ed tax on beer and duty on leather Piatt,
of New York. Hanna, of Ohio, and Hpoon
er. of Wisconsin, were especially vigorous
in their opposition to the increased tax en
beer It Wl.l pointed out that the Dem
ocrats had already stated their opposi
tion to his tax that they thought it would
be wise to have an arrangement < ffected
which would relieve Republican aerators
from embarrassment. It vas decided
that efforts should be made to secure the
revenue both from beer and tea by a tax,
which would accomplish the same result.
Western senators referred to the wool
schedules. Warren, of Wyoming, appear
ing as the spokesman for the WOOI-KTOW
t rs <>f the WaC. said that the duties pro
p is- d by the committee were, in hla judg
ment, Inadequate, and he thought th~re
should be some increas" on the lines of
the amendments proposed by the We st
ern senators I »lffe, of Massachusetts,
spoke ieainst the duty on hid*'s. Tae
Westerners announced that to settle wbh
the Eastern men who voted to reduce the
duties on their products, they would vote
to reduce the ,1 ity on irticles which their
people purcha?<Hl and did not produce It
was this --tat" of affairs that brought
for'h the proposition of Burrow- t*» sub
mit propositions to the Republican
I rrs of the finance committee an>! then
to the caucus. There was no talk of
bottlnc. and no senator said he would
vote against the bill as a whole. It was
on 11.err "*• rof schedules that they rti.#-

oppoeed to such retrenchment.
"You sent me to China to work." said
he. "and now you can't entrench me.
You can't retard the work by r«trenoh

we should not touch it.' I don't, say this
about John r>. Rockefeller In particular

been lonster In this country and becomes
better acquainted he will modify his
views."
