older BOYS of her school take but little
interest in their studies as they do

Cannot Recover.
Especial Telegram TO the Globe. |

MILWAUKEE. April lit is the general
belief that Assistant Superintendent H. C.
Atkins, of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway, who was stricken with paralysis at
La Crosse yesterday, cannot recover His
symptoms are the same as in LAWYER Finche,s
case, who died here recently. The bursting
of brain blood vessel in cases of paralysis
usually ends fatally. Three prominent ply
sicians have been dispatched to La Crosse
from this city to attend Mr.. Atkins. He is
unconscious nearly all of the time, but is
taking slight nourishment to-day.
Mr. Atkins is one of the best know men
connected with the st. Paul railroad, and has
been with it in various positions for many
years. Bad luck has followed him lately in
several instances. 1t is reported that last
week ne lost every cent in the world in I'M
favorable wheat speculations and was even
compelled to transfer to a more fortunate
Spectator his 500 residence on Grand
avenue. It is believed the great mental
strain of the last week or two caused his
break down.
The st. Paul road has been very unfortu-
nate with its officials lately. w. G. Swan,
general traffic manager, died in the harness
from over work few months ago. General
manager s. S. Merrill suffered partial stroke
of paralysis only a few months ago, and is
now in California trying to recuperate. A
telegram from him to-day reports that he is
improving and is able to walk some, and
soon hopes to return to his post of duty.

THE HOUSE IN SESSION.
Tue Pension Appropriation Bill makes
Good Progress To-day.
Deserved Legislation Treated Literally by
Our Lawgivers.
The House of Representatives..

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Mr. Ellis from
the committee on appropriations reported
back the senate bill, authorizing the secre
tary of the navy to offer reward of $25, 900
for rescuing or ascertaining the fate Of the
Greedy expedition. After brief debate the
bill passed the house.
Mr.. Hopkins, as privileged matter, called
up a resolution declaring that the charges
against H. V. Boynton are not sustained by
for any action by the house. He stated that
the committee in reporting the resolution
did not desire to debate it. Keifer, the au
thor of the charges was present, but did not
see fit to make a speech, and the resolution
was adopted without opposition.
Mr.. Mcmillan, from the committee on re-
vision of laws, reported a bill, limiting to
two years time, within which prosecution
may be instituted against persons charged
with the violation of the internal revenue
laws Placed on the house calendar.
Mr.. Henley, from the committee on public
lands, reported a bill, forfeiting the Northern
Pacific land grant. Placed on the house
calendar.
The house then went into committee Of
the whole, Mr.. Springer in the chair, on the
pension appropriation bill The bill appro-
PIRATES 81, 066, 400, and re-appropriates an
amount estimated at 100000. The ap-
porpriatlons for the current year $126,000,-
600, of which only S25, 673, 900 were expended
the first half of the year.
Mr.. Cannon spoke in opposition to that
portion Of the bill which reduces the salary
of pension agents, maintaining, that under
the reduction no agent could afford to do the
business of the Office, and the result would be
to delay and embarrass the payment of pen
sions.
Mr.. Keifer advocated the policy of raising
the limit fee allowed lawyers in certain pen
sion cases.
Mr.. Hart advocated such changes in the
pension laws, so as to provide for granting
a service pension.
Mr.. Rogers gave notice that he would, at a
proper time, move to strike out the second
section, which limits lawyers fee to SO in
cases of arrears of pay for. lost horses and
bounty lands. After further debate and
without action the committee rose.
The speaker laid before the house a mes
sage from the president submitting a special
estimate from the chief of ordnance for a
permanent annual appropriation of so, $780,
900 to provide the necessary armament for
sea coast Notifications. The president says,
on presenting this estimate, II do not think
it is necessary to enumerate the considera-
tons which make it of the highest import
ance that there shall be no unnecessary de-
lay in entering upon a work which must be
commensurate with the public interest to be
effective, and which will take much time"
The message was referred and the house
took a recess until 80.
The evening session was for consideration
Of pension bills. Adjourned.

Especial Telegram to the Globe

Special Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, April 11.-An advance agent of
Tammany hall was in the city yesterday to
secure quarters for the New York sachems
during the Democratic national convention.
The old warrior, John Kelly, intends to be
here in force and to have his say about the
nomination of a candidate. The agent
seemed to think that with any other
candidate except Tilden the state of New
York Will be doubtful, and with
Mr. Tilden as the candidate it would
still be doubtful. AS Gov. Cleveland is just
now in bad odor with Kelly and his tribe the
principal object of coming to this city on the
Sth of July will be to see to it that the Cleve-
land boom for first place on the ticket re-
ceives its final quietus. And yet it is be-
coming very evident that Cleveland would be
their strongest man, If the candidate is to be
a New Yorker.

ROCHESTER,.

Waite's Comedy company closed their engage
ment in this city last evening with the French
Spy 1t was the first time this drama has been
produced before Rochester audience and it won
well merited applause. The play does not pos
sess much literary merit, but is full of startling
scenes and incidents and fine tableaus. The COM
pany, as a whole, is good one.
The olmsted county boom phamplet is com
peted. An addition of twelve thousand has been
printed. It contains about one hundred pages
devoted to setting forth the agricultural resources
of southern Minnesota, also the educational, re-
ligous and social advantages the country affords.
They will be distributed through the southern
aud eastern states by the subscribers. If Ohm
sted county doesn't boom it won't be owing to q
lack Of printers ink.
The Rochester silver cornet band will meet to-
night to reorganize. Frank Thomas, their former
leader, has gone to new field His departure is
seriously regretted by numerous acquaintance.
