AMENDMENT OF THE PENSION LAW.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE House Com
mittee on Pensions has agreed to report a
bill further amending the pension law for
the benefit of the soldiers. The law of last
June increasing the pension to $72 per
month for all soldiers or sailors who have
lost either both hands or both feet, or the
sight of both eyes, is to be amended so that
pensioner need not have literally lost
these members, but by reason of paralysis
or otherwise actually lost the use of them
may receive the pension of $72.

to accept the place and go over the roads

examination of their condition.

New YORK Jan. 17.-Additional informa-
ton has been received from persons who
have lately seen Mrs. Stewart corrobora-
tive of the statement that Mrs. Stewart had
said to gentleman and lady within the
past ten days that the body of her husband
had been delivered to Judge Hilton after
the payment of $4,000 through firm of
New York lawyers. Also that the identili-
cation was entirely satisfactory and the re-
mains placed by Hilton in secure vault
there to await their final removal to Garden
City Crypt.
The ceremony attending the recent brill
liant marriage of Mrs. Stewards fayorite
niece would never have been thought of if
Mrs Stewards husband had been stillin the
hands of vandals.
So far as can be ascertained Hilton does
not deny that the body has been found.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Hilton was
asked if he would say eyes or no. to ques-
tions whether Mr. Stewards body had been
found. He responded II have nothing to
say. am very busy"

The SUN On Free Trade

National Associated Press to the Star.
New York, Jan. 17.-The Sun this morn
ing says: We are told by cable dispatch
that the Commission for the general re-
vision of the German Customs tariff met in
Berlin, and doubtless the result of its de-
liberation will be the confirmation of Bis
marcks letter advising the imposition of
new protective duties. Ten years ago the
tide set strongly in favor of free trade as
the panacea for the ills of mankind. Then
it was regarded as almost q sign of lunacy
| to question the advantages of that SYSTEM
but now we see that even England, which
with Switzerland is the only country where
there is complete free trade, begins to doubt
whether, after ALL free trade theories work
as we'll in practice as they do in the imagi-
nations OF political economists. France
adhered to protection and prospered. 1t Is
not surprising that the Germans should
think about retracing their steps.
