ecutive Session.

Bench Confirmed.
filibustering in the House Against
the Bankruptcy Bill.
Proposed Revision of trie Pension T.aw
of 1890—Secretary Foster's State
ment as to tbe Condition of
the Treasury.
By the Associated Press.
Washington, Jan. 25. —For the first
time thia session the senate struggled
in executive session senate over a pres
idential nomination, that of Lewis Mc
Comas of Maryland, to be associate jus
tice of the District of Columbia supreme
court. Today the senate went into ex
ecutive session with a determination on
the part of the Republican senators to
confirm the nomination before adjourn
ment. The opposition, however, de
sired to be heard and more than four
hours were consumed in debate. The
opposition to the nominee was based al
most entirely upon the ground that Mc-
Comas was not a resident of the district.
When it came to a vote, however, there
was no attempt to filibuster, and the
result was a decisive vote; standing 38
for confirmation to 13 for tbe opposition.
The senate also confirmed the nomina
tion of Elijah W. Halford to be major
and paymaster in the United States
army.

A VACANCY IN THE NAVY.
Commander .Tnhnaon Dl.mUsed for
i. rounding the Mohican.
Washington, Jan. 25. —Commander
Henry L. Johnson haa been dismissed
from the navy. He was tried be'ore a
gen'ral courtmartial at the Mare Island
na" y yard in December last on three
charges, the principal one of which, in
omuial language, was "through negli
gence, Buffeting a vessel of the navy to
be run upon a rock and hazarded." The
vessel was the Mohican, wtiich Johnson
commanded, and the grounding took
place off tbe Alaskan coast. She is the
vessel lo which Johnson was assigned
after a, suspension of several yearn for
the same offense for which he was dia
missed. The court found him guilty of
the three charges preferred, and sen
fenced him to dismissal. Secretary
Tracy approved the findings and this
action was confirmed by .'resident Har
rison.
FOSTER'S FIGURES.
The Secretary of the Treasury Makes a
Statement to Congr'eas.
Washington, Jan. 25 — Chairman
Springer of the ways and means com
mittee has received from Secretary Fob
ter of the treasury a statement showing
the present condition oi the treasury
and the estimated condition at the end
of the present and the end of the next
fiscal year.
The statement shows that during the
tirst six months of the present fiscal
year the receipts from all sources were
1234 419,215; expenditures, $230,571,006,
leaviug aa excess of reventiHs over or
dinary expenditures of $3 484,200. The
cash in tbe treasury, including the gold
reserve, July 1, 1892, was $132 U3,*2b\
and on December 31, 1892, $129,002,588.
The total estimated revenues 'or tue
fiscal year ending June 30, 1893, are
$466,671,350; the total eettmated ex
penditure, $464,671,350, leaving an es
timated BUrplus of receipts over expend
itures for the current fiscal year of ex
actly $2,000,000. The estimated cash
balance avaiUole June 30,1893, is placed
at $120,992,377, which includes $100,000,
--000 for the g >ld reterve fund.
For the next fiscal year, ending June
30,1894, the secretary estimates thatthe
revenues from all sources will be $490,
--121,365. and tbe estimated expenditures,
wbicb, however, do not appear to in
clude miscellaneous and other ordinary
expenditures, $467,261,335, or an esti
mated surplus of $32,860,030. To this
tbe secretary adds $20,992,377, tbe cat b
balance above tbe gold reserve, esti
mated available June 30,1893, making
estimated nvailable balance June 30,
1894, of $53,852,407. from which must
be deducted $5,000,000 for the redemp
tion of past due bonds, fractional cur
rency and national bank notes, and $1,
--000,000 for probable payments on mail
subsidy contracts, leaving a balance of
$47,852,407. It la estimated that $40,
--000,000 in contracts will be payable in
1894. which would bring the real work
ing balance down to $7,852,407.
Tbe expenditures on account of pen
sions ac estimated in this statement
for the next year, amount to $166,831,
--350. or an increase over the amount
which it iB estimated will be spent for
pensions this fiscal year, of only $5,496,
--350.
The secretary's statement for 1894
shows that $40,279,035 contract liabili
ties to be deducted from the $47,852 407
balance above the gold reserve, is esti
mated ac available cash, but does not
show clearly whether the $25,257 358 of
the contracts to be paid in 1893 haa or
has not been deducted in tbe estimated
balance above the gold reserve fuud of
$20 992,377, as the estimated cash
balance available June 30, 1893, though
it is presumed it was deducted in figur
ing the balance.
Very little is allowed to the sinking
fund in these estimates, and a supple
mental statement places the estimated
balance due the fund June 30, 1894, at
$95 901,687.
Twenty-five million dollars contract
liabilities are included in the estimate
of this year, and therefore does not
come out of the estimated cash balance
at the end of this fiscal year.
REFORM IN PENSIONS.
Democrats Propose Au,*,iirtaiauts to the
Pension Law of 1800.
Washington, Jan. 25.—The Demo
cratic members of tbe house sub-com
mittee on appropriations have adopted
an amendment changing the pension
law of 1890. Following are the principal
changes: That no widow shall receive
a pension under the act of 1890, unlese
married to a soldier prior to 1870; that
no person shall receive a pension under
the act of 1890, unless disabled in the
cci vice from manual labor and in re
ceipt of an income of less than $000 a
year, and that no uon-reaident of the
United States shall receive a pension,
... j... — ills - - - 1 - —-«
Another amendment provides for the
appointment of a commission to consider
necessary modifications in tbe pension
laws and report at the next congress.
They were adopted by a vote of three
to two, the Democratic members,
Mutchler, O'Neil and Livingston, vot
ing yea, and Grout and Bingham uay.
The light against the amendments
will be carried by the Republican mem
bers into the full committee on appro
priations, which is yet to act on the bill.
It is said to be likely that some Demo
cratic members of the full committee
will vote against their associates on the
sub-committee. If the amendments get
out of the committee, a lively fight in
tho house is certain.
The bill as framed by the majority of
the sub-committee also does away with
tbe pension agencies throughout the
country and provides for the payment
of pensions by checks directly from the
treasury department; abolishes the ex
amination of applicants by surgeons,
and provides for the appointment of 15U
examiners to hereafter make examina
tions.
O'Neil of Massachusetts, speaking for
the majority of the members, and the
reasons for making the proposed
changes, eaid: "There is no disposition
on the part of the majority of thie hous -
to take a pension away from any man
who deserves it, that iB from any man
who became disabled while in the Union
army. The country wants the pension
list reduced, but it does not want a sin
gle worthy pensioner stricken from the
rolls. It seems to the committee that
certain personb are entitled to pensions,
but it should stop there."
(irout of Vermont, one of the two Re
publican membpraof the sub committee,
said: 'The Republican minority in
against the amendments, and will op
pose them in the full committee and the
house."
DR. EASTMAN BOUNCED.
Secretary Noble Endorses Captain
Brown's Work at Pine Ridge.
Washington, Jan.2s.—Secretary Noble
today addressed a communication to the
commissioner of Indian affairs Betting
forth his conclusions in the matter of
the Btrained relations between J. Leßoy
Brown, U. S. A., acting Indian agent at
Pine Ridge, and Dr. Charles A. East
man, the Sioux Indian agency physician.
The secretary's conclusion is that the
gooi of the Bervice requires that Dr.
Eastman shall be suspended from acting
as phyßtcian at Pine Ridge agency, and
unless Dr. Eastman can be assigned or
appointed to another place he ie willing
to accept, within tbe next 15 days, he
must resign or he will be removed. The
secretary finds that there is no reason
able ground to find fault with the con
duct of Acting Agent Captain Brown in
this connection.
Going to Lamar's Funeral.
Washington, Jan. 25.—Chief Justice
Fuller of the supreme court of the
United States and Associate Justices
Blatchford, Brewer and Brown and the
attaches of tbe court left by a special
car tonight en route to Macon, Ga„ to
attend the funeral of the late Justice
Lamar, which will take place Friday.

WE WELCOME YOU, STEVE.
The Words that First Greeted
Senator White.
That Distinguished Gentleman's
Home-Coming Celebrated.
The Trip to Meet Him and the Ee
eeption in This City.
A Universal Expression of Regard from
His Fellow Townsmen — The
Parade and Addresses at
the City Hall.
The welcome extended to Senator
elect Stephen M. White upon his return
home from Sacramento yeaterday was a
spontaneous burst of genuene enthusi
asm such as has never before been
seen in tbe city.
It had originally been planned that
his reception should consist of a ban
quet, but there was such a demand for a
popular recognition of the events which
have culminated in the elevation of Sen
ator White to be a senator of the United
Stateß, that the tide could not be stem
med, and the result was an ovation that
no man could receive without having
his heart touched —while the banquet is
yet to come.
The welcome home was distinctively
free from any partisan features, and the
people of Los Angeles turned out to
greet their favorite. Not one untoward
incident marred the entire day, and
there were bo many incidents that
marked the genuine affection which
ixietß towards California's distinguished
son, that the reception was elevated
upon a plane rarely observed in such
events.
THE RECEPTION TRAIN,
At 9 o'clock yesterday morning the
special train which was to meet'the reg
ulai train bearing Senator White, at
Saugus, pulled out from the Arcade
depot. The Southern Pacific company
tendered this train to the citizens of Loa
Angelea for the purpose of meeting tbe
senator-elect. It consisted of five paß
eenger coacheß and a Pullman car. The
engine was No. 1774 in charge of Con
ductor Don Cameron, Engineer Dave
Thomas, Fireman W. E, Lowe and W.
BY iKs-l-urrm-ffO 1 -W'WaB TT Bfi n if^e'n'dg
banner, bearing the simple expression :
We Welcome You, Steve.
Long before the time for starting the
depot filled with the gentlemen who
had devoted themselves to be a guard of
honor to their distinguished fellow
townsman, and when the hour arrived
and tbe train moved there were over
200 representative citizens of the city
on board. It was one of the most char-
AT SAUQUS.
acteristic group of citizens ever seen
upon such an occasion. Such a thought
bb partisan politics did not enter into
the make up of the enthusiastic crowd.
By an actual grouping of the gentlemen
aboard the two great oolitical parties
were about evenly divided, and there
wer» a number of Populists and Pro
hibitionists.
An air of qniet cheerfulness pervaded
the coacheß and there was very little
talked about save the pleasure it gave
the excursionists to travel nearly a hun
dred miles simply to see the well-known
features of "Steve" White and show
him that hia triumph was appreciated
by the people amongst whom he has
lived and who have watched his onward
career with an interest and affection
that would brook no hindrance to an
expression of their feelinge.
The journey to SaugUß was made in
an hour and 20 minutes, and it was
about 20 minutes thereafter when the
south-bound train from San Francisco
appeared from tbe tunnel. During the
wait the Douglas military band played
several pieces, and such of the party as
.desired to do so took lurch.
"hullo, POP "
Nearly every one in the party waa
ranged alongside of the regular train
when it slowed up at the elation, and
Senator White was eagerly looked for.
He finally came out from one of the
rear coaches and waß at once in the
midst of an irrepressible group of
friends. The senator-elect was the
same easily approached gentleman,
whose somewhat tonzled slouch hat
haß been remarked in bis daily walk in
Los Angeles.
The crowd parted for a moment and a
little chap, Mr. White's boy, Willie, waß
caught up in his arms.
"Hello, pop," was his exclamation,
as he greeted hiß father, with very lit
tie recognition cf the dignity that is
supposed to hedge the person of a sena
tor of the United Stateß.
Then another little tot was held up to
receive his welcome, bis daughter Hor

several taps on his face, saying: "I hit
you 'cause youv'e been away so long."
Of course the unconßciou'nesß of the
youngsters broke any ice that might
have existed and, with the child in bis

A HEARTY HANDSHAKE.
The special train immediately pulled
out when Senator White and his private
secretary, R. W. Gates, had entered it,
AT THB CITY II A IX.
In a few minutes the senator left the
Pullman and started on a journey
through the coaches. He had a regular
ovation and experienced the pleasure of
shaking hands with over 200 of his
friends. It must have been quite an or
deal to him, because there was not that
thoughtfulheea on the part of men who
know him so well, aa those aboard did,
to refrain from hearty grips. He was
evidently touched by the earnest greet
ings he received, and it was good to see
how his expressive face lighted as he
felt himself once, more amongst hia own
home people.
DELIGHTFUL FLORAL PIECES.
There were not many incidents in the
short run to Los Angeles. The join
committees of the chamber of commerce
and board of trade, uuder whose au
spices tho special trp>n had been con
ducted, had some beautiful
floral pieces, whf.o were deposited in
Senator White's car, and were greatly
admired. One was the representation
of a bear, the emblem of the Native
Sons of the Golden West. It was made
of double white violets and arbutus.
There-was a ladder of violets and smilaz,
emblematic of the rounds of fame which
the guest of the occasion has climbed,
while the third piece was that of a ship,
the ship of etate. constructed of roses
and orchids. All were beautiful and
appropriate.
THE ARRIVAL AT LOS ANGELES.
The special train arrived at the old
San Fernando street dspot at 12 o'clock,
and moved slowly to the Arcade depot.
The streets were lined with people, and
the windows of houses full of enthusi
astic citizens and their families, who
waved handkerchiefs and hats as the
train passed by.
But one of the most striking evidences
of the fact that yesterday was regarded
as a red letter day in Los Angeles was
the din that began when tbe tran an
nounced its arrival with a tremendously
long whistle. It seemed to bs answered
by magic from a hundred whistles, and
in a few seconds Senator White's ar
rival was announced to the remot
parts of the city by blasts of wnistW
over the city. The factories by •>>■
