The PraMnt dimppntm Two Bill*
Heornllr Puwd-AclUn of tlu >w?U.
WASHINGTON, D. C? April it?The
President to-day sent to the senate vetoes
of two rfenate pension bills. : The
first was in the case or Charles E. Jones,
u photographer, which attracted .considerable
attention In the hpuie. It la
as follows:
To the Senate:
I return herewith without my approval,
senate bill No. 249. entitled ^n act
granting a pension to Charles E. Jones.
The beneficiary named In this blllvns
a photographer who accompanied. one
of the regiments of the Unl.-n army In
tlm war ot the rebellion. He KM lplured,
apparently not very seriously,while
tailing photographs and where no battle
was In actual progress. He vu not
enlisted, and was In no manner in the
mllllnm- nt lU TTf.Ua/4 SUtaB
Aside from the question as to whether
his present Bad condition la attributable
to the injury sustained it teems
to me the extension of penflon relief
to such cases would open the door.to
legislation hard to satisfy and impossible
to restrain from Abuse.
OROVER CLEVELAND.
Executive Mansion, April 21, 1699.
The other veto was in the case of tho
bill for a pension to ^ancy G. Allabach.
It provides for a pension for Mrs.
Allabach who is the widow of Peier
Tfc Allithach, who served In both the
Mexican war rtnd the war of the rebellion.
The President calls attention to
the fact that Mr. Altabach made no application
for pension on account of disabilities
during ]\\s life. "It 1m not." he
says, "now claimed that he was in tho
least disabled as an accident of his military
service, nor vis it alleged tnat his
death. which occurred nearly twentynine
years after his discharge fun tho
army, waa in any degree related to
such service. He says the widow was
Dension'-ri after her husband'.-* death !?
the widow of a Mexican Boldler and
that her case falls under th? general
act of 1850. "Tt I? proposed, howavor,"
he continues, "by the special act under
consideration to give this widow a pension
cf $30 a month without the least
suggestion of the death or disability of
her husband having boon caused by his
military service and solely so1 far as dls*
coverable, upon the ground that she is
poor and needs the money. The condition
'Is precisely covered by existing
laws; and If a precedent Is to be established
by the special legislation proposed,
1 do not see how the same relief
as Is contained in this bill can be denied
to the many thousand widow;** who
In a similar situation are now on tho
pension roils under general laws."
When the messages were presented to
the seuate Mr. Gallinger, (Rep., N. H.),
chairman of the pension committee,
snld he regretted that the President
had seen fit to veto these bills. Captain
Allabach's military services were such
that he might have applied for a penHon,
but'dld not do so, owing to per*
WhIU JflnM W9? a
photographer, yet he received a gunshoc
wound, re salting In total blindness during
the attack on Longstreet's lines.
"The President refer* to 'a trivial
wound,' " said Mr .Qalllnger. "I will not
discus* and sugg^ft what Is my mindthat
the message was written without
a knowledge of the facts." The pension
committee had not proceeded ca-*le?S'
ly nnd rec Measly In favoring pension*.
Mr. Pajmer, (Dem., 111*.), spoke of the
embarrassment attending case* In
which the opllcant for a. pension had
not been formally enlisted.
"I held/* said Mr. Palmer, "that when
a iMtlstm voluntarily associated himself
with the military fQTflfPr .tv* iMh
epme* deiact* in tlie m wary' **rv<ea,
and If wounded, he- ha* the same moral
right to a pension aq anyone formally
enlisted."
The vetoes were referred to the pension
committee.
Many petitions came urging action In
behalf of Bishop Diaz, arrested In Cuba
and a resolution by Mr. Bacon, (Dem.,
Qa.), was'adnpted, requesting the state
department for information aa to the
arrest and as to what atep* had been
taken toward securing an Impartial
trial.
The senate to-day disposed of the
sectarian school question by adopting
a compromise framed by Senator Cockrell.
of Missouri. The Indian bill, ag It
came from the house, provided that "no
money herein appropriated shall be
paid for education in sectarian schools."
This provision is struck out by the
Cockrell amendment, as adopted, and it
is declared to be the settled policy 0f
the government to make no appropriations
for sectarian schools after July 1,
1898. thus giving two years for the abandonment
of sectarian schools, instead of
an immediate abandonment. The
amendment was adopted by the decisive
vote of thirty-eight to twenty-four.
The Indian bill was not completed when
the senate adjourned.

A delegate offered a resolution instructing
tne delegates to use all honorable
means to secure the nomination of

cheers and referred. The convention 1
then took a recess for half an hour to
give the committee time to prepare their :
reports. '
The platform, which was reported af- :
*?r recess. declares for a protective tariff i
and reciprocity. Following: Is the cur- |
rency plank:
"We believe In the gold standard upon
which to bame our circulating: medium j
and are opposed to the free and1 unlimited
coinage of silver until an International
agreement with the Important
commercial countries of the world shall .
give silver a larger use."
No Instructions are given to the delegates
to the Republican national conven- ,
tlon.
Before the reports of the committed
on permanent organization and resolutions
wore submitted, the convention
listened to a speech by General Adam .
E. King, former United States consul in
Paris, France.
Loud calls for "Waller" brought tho
ex-consul general to Madagascar to the
front of the stage In a brief speech In
which ho congratulated the Republicans

anlmously elected. i
General Adam E. King and J. Cookman
Boyd, both of Baltimore, were ]

tute the resolution previously offered 1

honorable means to secure the nomlna- i
tion of William McKlnley at Kt. i/ouis i
for the presidency. This evoked the |
greatest enthusiasm of the day, the i
galleries and many of the delegates ;
joining In applauding. Mr. Urner made
a stirring speech In favor of his resolu- *
tlons. and (he applause was repeated, t
Sidney E. Mudd. speaker of the Mary- i
land house of representatives, followed
in opposition to the Urner resolution.
After further discussion a vote was !
taken by counties, resulting In the decisive
defeat of the McKlnleyltos by a i

Jorlty of their votes against the amendment.

Upon the currency question the platform
aays: "We are unalterably opposed
to the Issue of unsecured paper currency,
either by the government or the
banks; the free coinage of allver at any
ratio, and favor a single standard of
value, and that standard (old. We believe
that this policy, with a sound and
table currency upon a gold basis, will
furnish sufficient revenue to meet all requirements
of the government and properly
support It"
In less than an hour from the time

A dispatch from St John Baptist Parish
states that serious trouble has
broken out there over the election returns.
The report, which Is from Democratic
sources. Is to the ePTect that a
srowd of negroes attempted to steal the
parish bullot boxes and five whites reulsted;
shooting followed and the dispatch
states that several people were
killed. Tho governor ha* ordered a
company of the Louisiana field artillery
under Captain H. B. Bollver Thompson
to the scene of the trouble.
It has now leaked out that Captain
Pharr's campaign committee employed
250 Plnkerton men, who were scattered
throughout the state with the view of
detecting election frauds. The Impression
now Is that a good many ballot

soldiers occupy and thut only forts they

inhabit. .1
Not an estate grinds without our per- ?jfj

porter of the Spanish government In ,

Since my arrival here I have Men''?
many Spaniards that live out In the
