WASHINGTON, July 29.--Special Tel­ egram.--Secretary Lamar to-day de­ cided the Hedgespeth pension case, which has been lying upon his desk for nearly a year, by refusing Hedge- speth his pension. The case is one whose history has been given to the country several times as one of the most complicate:] and puzzling that has yet come before the department. It Is decided purely upon a technical­ ity in tbo law, which provides that no person shall recieve a pension who has given aid aud comfort, to the enemy. The decision will be severely criticised The committee having Ig^ji preparations for the «i St. Louis have thus far the 8100.000 subscribed, th# $47,096.60. But seven sen ting $67.60 have refoatd their subscriptions.

Thomaa aad ̂ ogaa. that Hedgespeth's good faith toward the government was never questioned Hedgespeth was an Indiana volunteer, who was captured by the rebels ia one of the battles of the war and sent to the Andersonvlllo Prison. Among others he was oflered his liberty if he would join the Confederate army Having lain in prison for months, and having nothing but death staring him in the face he oonsented with the pur­ pose In view of deserting to the Union lines at the first opportunity. He served a month before that opportu nlty arrived, and having joined his regiment, served until relieved for disability. He asked, a pension on ao- count of disability contracted in the army, and Commissioner of Pensions Black re{ected his claim enuthe ground that having served in the Confederate army he had made himself an enemy of the United States and under the law was not entitled to a pension. An appeal was taken to the Seoretary of the Interior, the case going to the Board of Pension Appeals. That board, .bellevlug that the case was based entirely upon |a technicality la the law la the administration of whiob the Secretary had certain disoretion, reversed Black's decision. Assistant Secretary Hawkins, a country lawyer with a love for a quibble refused to sign the decision written out by the board and the case went to the Secre­ tary himself. He pondered over it for nearly a year aad to-day signed the case which was written up by Mr. Hall, private secretary to Mr. Hawkins, who is himself in Missouri. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Ho said nothing, never moved and intent­ ly kept his eyes fixed on the show window. Several policemen strolled by and asked the crowd to arrange Itself so that people could get by on the sidewalk. Every Moment tbo numbers increased and they soea stretched far up and down the street.
