WASHINGTON, Feb. I9.-Mr. Withers
called up the senate pension bill for the
survivors of the war OF 1912.
The committee reported favoring the
restoration to the rolls of the names of
soldiers of the Indian wars and the war of
1912. stricken from them on account Of
disloyalty; provided, their disabilities have
been removed or application been made
for their removal.
MIR. Ingalls, said not over 100 were ex-
cluded 10 this and advocated the passage
of the bill as tending to restore national
unity.
Mr.. Edmunds opposed it, not per Sc,
but because it was pernlclous precedent
to worse claims.
This provision was withdrawn as being
superhuous, Other minor amendments
were agreed to.
The question being on the third reading,
Mr.. Ingalls, opposed the whole system of
gratuitous pensions of survivors OF the
war of 1912 who served fourteen days.
Mr.. Morrill, feared the bill was the fore
runner of many to deplete the treasury.
Mr.. Oglesby moved to strike out the
section restoring names stricken oil tor

A POPE ELECTED.

ROME. Feb. 2O.-Cardinal Pecci has
been elected Pope.
LONDON, Feb. 20.-A Rome correspon-
dent telegraph, telegraphing, says the two
moderate candidates for the papacy have
received the greatest number of votes.
sixty two cardinals are in conclave, the

showing the votes were much scattered.
The Fanfulla states that Germany in
structed Hohenloke to declare that the
election OF an irreconcilable Pope would
obllge the government to take repressive
steps Immediately, whereas a moderate
pontitf could speedily terminate the exist
ing differences. The Fanfulla also says
the French cardinals, contrary to their
first declaration, ultimately determined to
unite with the Spanish, Austrian and
German cardinals in supporting a moder-
ate candidate
ROME. Feb 2O.-Cardinal Gioachino
Pecci, the Pontifcal Camerlango, who has
been elected Pope is an Italian; he assumes
the title of Leo XIII.
Cardinal Pecci was chosen on the third
ballot. The moderates hesitated between
Cardinals Franchi and Pecci, but the con-
fticting elements became harmonized, and
the result was the election of the latter
The announcement to the people was
made with prescribed formalities and
ceremonies from the Vatican, and created
intense excitement, although it had been
accepted as forgone conclusion an Italian
cardinal would be the choice of the con-
clave.
ROME, Feb. 20.-Pecci is tall, has a
fine high forehead, long face. straight
features, large mouth. prominent chin

voice, great dignity of manners, is witty

said, "These men intend to be citizens;
we will give back to them that which is
above price; We will give back citizenship
and open to them every honor of the Re-
public. Was it possible that the son who
had taken an active part in the rebellion
against the government should have all
restored to him, but the poor old father
who did nothing more than sympathize
with his son could get nothing back. The
widow of Gen. Zach Taylor was on the
pension roll Her SOD took an active part
in the rebellion. Was her name to be
stricken from the roll because she bound
up the wound of Dick Taylor, her son?
MIR. Kirkwood said he, for one, was per-
fectly will to take his share of any odium
which might come from restoring these old
men to the pension rolls. He thought a
great government like ours could forgive
past offeuses.
Mr.. Blaine said if congress was going to
legislate so as to exclude old men and
widows from the generosity of the govern
ment, it was taking a ground which dis
honored the magDanimity of the govern
ment.
Mr.. Ingalls, said the attempt to array
the American congress against few old
men was indicative to his mind of the
spirit which would lead a man to strike a
woman or kick baby.

the fifth section of the bill was rejected
