To Simplify Proceedings.

Representative Cannon introduced bill in
the House short time ago to simplify pro-
cedure In pension claims and To extend the
benefits OF pension laws to worthy claimants
for invalid pensions and widows. minor child
ren and dependent relatives OF soldiers and sail
ors OF the late war who are unsb by existing law
TO furnish the Necessary evidence required to
connect the disability with such service, and
for other purposes. The bill recites that the
lapse of time since the war for the suppression
Of the rebellion, and the death Of witnesses,
often render 1t impossible to secure the evil
dence required and necessary TO establish a
claim tor pension under existing laws where
pensionable disability or fatal disease is due
to causes not established by the records Of the
war or navy departments, and thereby most
mertorious class of claims are frequently
defeated; and congress is therefore called up
on to grant relief by special acts, thereby en-.
numbering the private calendar 10 the detri-
ment Of public business. The bill was refer.
red to the committee on invalid pensions, and
Mr.. Cannon says he will press 1t TO favorable
consideration. Its effect will be to render
possible the granting of $4,000 pensions which
under existing laws cannot be acted upon;
and TO expedite the granting of 100, 900 more
which are now being slowly examined by spe-
cial inspectors.

Harrison's Pension Bill.

Senator Harrison introduced in the Senate a
few days ago q bill of great Importance TO
soldiers and their widows IL provides pen
ION for all soldiers who served during the war
the rebellion in the military or naval service
or period OF six months and were honoraDly
discharged, provided they are now disabled.
The bill proceeds upon the theory that there
are many soldiers and sailors who did not con-
tract disabilities during the war Of such a spc-
cific and well defined nature as TO enable them
to make proof thereof, as required by existing
laws; but In truth and In fact they are now
broken down in health by reason of hardships
and exposures in the service. IL is bill that
grants relief to that class of soldiers who had
the physical strength to bear the BURDENS Of
the war without receiving hospital treatment
but by reason OF their long and faithful service
have since become invalids. The highest rate
Of pension granted is $24, which is made di-
visible according 10 degree actual DISABILITY.
The bill increases the rate TO Sl2 OF all widows
OF pensioners who contracted disability In and
since the war of the rebellion, and are now
drawing IS, and fixes the rate for such claim
ants at $l2 per month for future pensions. 1t
also provides pension for the widows OF
such soldiers as may be peDsioned under the
first section Of eaid bill, and also the widows
of those who served in the war of the
rebellion, and shall obtain pension
under existing laws for disability,
without the widow being required TO prove that
the death cause was due TO service. This does
not grant pension to all widows, but to wild
ows of soldiers who are or become pensioners.
1t grants relief to many worthy claimants
whose husbands were disabled by reason of
their military service and were destined TO die
from some specific disease from which they
were lingering, but an acute disease interven-
ing and causing death the claimants were
disbarred owing to the immediate cause of
death not being due to service.
This bill is the result Of demands which
the government is unable to meet under ex-
listing laws. A soldier, for example, who
was in every battle OF tie Potomac from
1861 TO 1866, but who was neither wounded
nor in the hospital, now becomes disabled by
reason Of disease contracted in the service.
Under existing laws the government cannot
help such a soldier, but this bill proposes not
Gully to pension him, but also TO pension his
widow. In an interview Senator Harri-
son said while this was radical change In the
pension laws, he had carefully considered the
whole matter and DID not hesitate to say that
IN his opinion every true friend of Union sol
diers could afford to sustain such a measure.
II was needed and ought to become a law at
once. All pensions under this act begin at the
date OF filing an application therefor.

made TO press him into the military
service A short time ago Herr Lasker,
the eminent German statesman died in
this country and appropriate resolutions
of respect were at once adopted by the
American House of Representatives.
Bismarck returned the resolutions ''with

tanned opinions which, with his 80
years connection with the internal poll
CIV of Germany, he could not conscien-
tiously endorse. We STOOD it remsrka-

there, we want to give Bismarck fair
warning that he wants to look 'leedle

ARRESTED FOR OROUOHs MURDER,
Holoolmb and Jud Crouch in Jail..-Three
Charges Awaiting Them.

Daniel S. Holcomb and Jud Crouch
were arrested Saturday, March LIST, for
the murder of Jacob ID. Crouch on the
night of November 81, 1888. Sheriff
Winney of Jackson made the complaint
and Justice Horace Hunt issued the
warrant. A little after four o'clock in
the afternoon Winney, detectives Ryan
and Harris of the Pinkerton force,
policemen McQuillin and Boyle, and
two special officers named Evans and
Cady, drove to Holcomb's farm and
arrested him. The policemen and
specials were left in charge of the Hol-
comb and Crouch farm houses, and
nothing will be disturbed until thor
ough examination of the premises is
made.
Judd Crouch was found at the Hurd
house in Jackson and Immediately taken
in charge. He displayed his usual stoi-
cism and indifference to the actions of
the officers, but see med perfectly willing
to go with them.
The prisoners were taken to Justice
Hunts office and remanded to jail to
await examination. Sheriff Wirney
refuses to make any statement further
than to say that the chain OF circum-
stantial evidence against Holcomb and
Crouch were sufficient to warrant the
arrest.
The news of the arrest created great
excitement in Jackson and vicinity, and
all sorts of wild stories were started as
to the cause, but none of them are at
all reliable. The secret Of the cause of
the arrest rests with Sheriff Winney
alone. No attempt will be made TO
have the prisoners released on bail un-
til after the examination, as there are
four different warrants out for them for
the four persons killed, and if bailed on
one charge they would immedi ately be
arrested on another

Starving Refugees.

raised for the Russian refugees In Dakota. OF
they will starve to death. The colony is L.
Gated near Bismarck, and consists OF 81 men,
81 women and 80 children. The harvest last
fall was atotal failure, and since then the peo-
pie have suffered all the horrors of attendant
starvation. They are almost without clothing,
and unless both food and clothing are sent al
once many Of the people must perish. It is
said that about 5000 will be required TO
relieve the wants OF the refugees, aud
an appeal is made to the charitable people OF
the country. The weather is so severe and the
times so hard, that no aid can be extended by
the people living In the vicinity.
