Dramatic attempt on Patti ends with cracker explosion
An infernal device exploded at the Grand Opera House in San Francisco during Adelina Patti’s last concert there.

President Cleveland vetoes the dependent pensions bill arguing its language creates uncertain and unequal qualifications for support. He warns the measure invites abuse, favors nonmilitary claims, and could widen dishonesty in pension applications while noting Civil War veterans deserve careful, selective relief. The long message presses constitutional duties and cautions against broad pension expansion despite noble intent.
