'THE PITTSBURG- DISPATOH,, -TUESDAY. ; APRIOV 12: .1892 A BORROWING BUREAU Peculiar Financial Practices in Vogue In the Tension Office. CLEBKS REFUSING TO ANSWER ffome Questions Tut to Them, and They TVill rrobatly Ee Fired. BLUE ASKS FOR AN INVESTIGATION "WAsnnfGTOJT, April 1L B. W. Flenni ken, Private Secretary to the late Senator Plumb,of Kansas, testified before the Pension Office' Investigating Committee to-day, that he' had never received compensation, directly or indirectly, ior any information relating to the status of pension claims. Bamnul K. HorsBy had said he believed Mr. Plenniken sometimes sold the information he secured by means of Congressional slips. George W. Wayson, formerly assistant chief of the special examining division of the Pension Bureau, said he had never ob tained or solicited any money for anything he had done in the office. But when asked questions as to whether or not he had bor rowed money or secured Indorsements from a number of his snbordlnates, whose names wer jriven, he declined in each caso to answer the questions, declaring that tho matter was pi ivate and in no way affected his official acts. Mr. Enloe asked ir witness had not taken the deposition of an examine named Wil son sliowlns that tho latter had borrowed money from a money lender on a pension certificate contrary to law. Ho answered this question affirmatively, but denied ab-o lutely that after takins tlio doposttion lie lcept'lt in his desk fcr six months, and until It was taken from him in order to prevent latonrette's prosecution. Iln ald he turned the affidavit over to tho Chief of Division Witness still refusing to nnswer the ques tions be.irinjr on financial transactions, tho committee decided to report to the House a resolution requesting the Commissioner of Tensions to discharge him Ironi the Pension Office. HarvevC. Ellis testified that one time he loaned Wajson Slu, but he respectfully declined tottate whether ho had Indorsed any notes lor Wayson, on the ground that that wns his prl'iate business. He alo declined to say whether he had been called In Irom the field to renew a note for Mr. TVayson. The witness, however, volunteered the btateinent that no transaction he ever had with Wayson had ever benefited him (witness), nor had any such transaction ever cost him a cent. The witness still persitlng In refusing to answer the questions bearing on the financial questions, the committee decided to report to the House a resolution requesting the Commis sioner of Pensions to discharge him from office, as w?s done In the ease of the previous witness. Several witnesses were examined ns to money transactions in the Pension Office, and their testimony showed that ti'Cprac tico of borrowing money in tho office is pretty general. In some instances chiefs borrowed from their subordinates. Tho Committee, during the afternoon session, took stops to request tho House to compel witnesses Wavson and Ellis to answer ques tions in relation to financial transactions, beside asking that body to request their dis missal from office. Adjourned. HO ABBITKABY DIFFEEE5TIALSL Another Important Decision by the Inter state Commerce Commission. Washisgtox, April 11. The Inter-State Commerce Commission to-day, in an opinion by Commissioner McDill, announced its decision in the cases of the Toledo Produce Exchange, etc., and Edward Kemble. of Boston, against tho Lake Shore, Michigan Central, Xew Tork Central and Boston and Albany Kailroad, in favor of the complain ants. The question involved is the through rates to Boston as affected by the arbitrary differentials over through rates to New Tort of 10 cents on first-class articles, 6 cents on second-class articles and 5 cents on the other classes of freizht. The Commission decides thattho aibitrary diffeientialsnow charged aic unlawful, and suoniu ncreaiter oo maac oy aaaing a per centage to tl.o New York rate on shipments included in tho six classes offered Irom Chi cago and points east thereof and west of Buffalo to" Boston and other New England points, and that the defendants and other carriers interested be allowed 20davs to show cause, by answer, why an Older should not issue commanding them to desist from charging said arbitrary differentials, and requiring said rates to Boston and New Eng land noints to bo made by ndding to the New York rate an increase of 10 per cent thereor, and if no such answers be filed that such orders be issued forthwith. BLA.IB WAKTS AN INVESTIGATION. He Thinks tho Senate Could Get Hold or Something Interesting. WASnrNGTOS, April 1L Senator Chandler to-day presented to the Senate a memorial from cx-Ser.ator Blair, praying for an inves tigation intu the facts attendant npon the refusal of the Chinese Government to receive him as Minister to that country. Mr. Blair eavs the Chinese Minister has several times caused him to be informed of his regret at hi rejection, and of his (the Minister's) strong desire that our Government would ask him to request of his Government the Interchange ol triendly explanations which would be tho means of setting tho matter right. Mr. Blair thinks an investigation will dis close a destestable conspiracy. He ex presses the bolief that his rejection was secured by false representations made to the Chinese Home Government, through the Chinese Legation in this city, while the Minister himself was absent, and by other false and dishonorable means. He says he Is in possession of facts tending to prove that the difficulty originated at least in part in, and has been fostered bv the rivalry of business interests,whicb, in their contention with each other, have employed methods and instrumentalities the nature of which should be ascertained by the Governments whose friendly relations have been thereby impaired if not endangered. INTO AN ENGLISH NAVY YAED An American Steamship Is Forced to Fat for Repairs. Washisotos, April 1L The Navy Depart ment is informed that the United States steamship Mohican has gone to Esquimau, B. C., for the purpose of being docked in tho British navy yard, for necessary repairs. She recently ran on a rock and lost about ten feet of her false keel Tho Secretary of tho avy leccived a telegram from a merchant of Tacoma, Wash., to-day, protest ing against the MohicanVgoingtoan English dry dock when shemight have been repaired Just as well at Tacoma. It is said at the De paitment that while the Secretary was in Jormed in Febrcarv last that a dry dock was in course of construction at Tacoma, ho is not aw.are that it is finished, or that It is capable or receh iug a - essel of tho size or the Mohican. It is said further that the repairs required re of a comparativelv trifling nature, and that inasmuch as the Mohican is onJier way to Bering Sea it was deemed advisable to nave tne worK uono en route in preference to having the ves-el brought back to Sin Francisco. Thoro is nothing unusual in the repair of war vessels or one countiy in the navy yard of another country. DEUM2IE2S' tax sustained. An Important Dccidoo by the Supreme Court on m Tennessee Law. WaShikgtoic, April 1L The United States Supreme Court to-dty save a decision in favor of the county in the case of Charles L. Ficklen ajrainst the taxing district of Shelby connty. Tonn., brought here on appeal by Ficklen from a decision of the State Court. Ficklen had an office In Tennessee at wlncli he took orders for goods. Ills business was entirely with Arms outside the State, and differed from that of ordinary commercial travelers principally In that he did not travel about soliciting orders, but had an office where he exhibited samples. A law was passed Inryjsing a license tax of S50 on dealers in merchandise and also a tax on their capital. Where there was no capital Invested, as was tho ca.o with Ficklen. it was provided that 1 per cent tax should be paid on all commissions received. Ficklen paid tho llcensefee, and reported his sales during the year 18S7, but refused to pay the commission tax, on the ground that the business done was entirely for firms out side of the State, and that the act was void as a regulation or Inter-State commerce. When lie applied lorn license In l831twaa refused, because of non-payment of the com mission tax, and Ficklen sousrht, by injunc tion proceeding, to compel iti issuance. In an opinion by Cliier Justioo Fuller the Su preme Court to-day held that the .Supreme Court of Tennessee had properly decided against Ficklen. COSGSESS BESTJMES ITS GEI5D.
