Tho Pension Fee nm.

WASHINGTON, Feb 6.-The bill TO regulate
the fees OF pension agents, as IL passed the
senate, provides:
No fee greater than $40 shall be received by
pension claim agents, except that, under special
circumstances. subject to revision by the som-
missioner ct pensions, a contract In writing may
Dc made between applicants and claim agents
for q fee not exceeding US. The bill contains a
clause specially forbidding the collection by
claim agents OF mcrc shan 40 on claims fled
between June 20 ig7S. and July 4, 1894 and
~prOrsDNing government pension agents from
paying claim agents more than $40 OF such
Claims. even IN cases OF new contracts.

s~EsArE--The interstate tCullom)
bin was considered and finally passed-4Stol2.
As passed by the senate the bill is sabstan-
TALLY as prepared by Senator Cuilom, and
goes back 10 the house as an amendment
TO the Reagan bill The chances Of an
agreement between the two houses are not
by any means encouraging Tho Reagan
bin was passed by more than q two thirds vote,
but many members voted for it because they
preferred TO take that TO getting nothing The
principal point OF difference betw zen the two
measures is that the senate bill provides for
nine commissioners, TO whom is gwen full
power to regulate all matters provided for,
while the Reagan bill refers all contro-
yerted points 10 the courts, and i'm
poses heavy penalties for the violation OF its
provisions. Whether a majority of the house
will insist upon this feature Of the Reagan bill
is an open question:; but there are reasons to
justify the belief that this feature will be in
sisted upon. Ihe prospects, therefore, for an
agreement in conference are far more encour-
aging.
The bill to retire trade dollars and suspend
the coinage of standard silver dollars was de-
bated.

DEATH OF CHAS. w. stage.
de Is Found Dead in His Bed, from the Effects
of an Overdose of Choral.

Early yesterday morning Charles W. Stagg
was found by his daughter dead in bed at his
residence, on College avenue While it is not
yet known positively how he met with his
death, it is thought that he purposely OF acct
dentally took an overdose of choral Mr. Stage
was very eccentric man, and given to moods,
sometimes Of violent character. Monday night
he was observed to stir quantity of choral in
glass and drink it, after which he retired to bed
and remained quiet. The next morning Mrs.
Etagg left early for Charlottesville where she
has class in music, and scarcely had the train
left the depot before the death of her husband
was announced The deceased was aged
forty eight, and leaves wife and
two adult children. The checkered career of
Mr. Stage is quite peculiar His father, who
many years ago left his family, emigrated to
Mississippi where he was mistaken for another
man and assassinated by unknown desperadoes.
M. Stagg was an excellent stenographer, and stood
at the head of his profession for many years He
was with Senator Morton in all of his po-
htical campaigns, and reported the ut
terances of the distinguished statesman
for many years Mr.. Stagg wrote consid-
erably for the press. and gave evidence of
possessing splendid journalistic talent Later in
life he grew into the habit of using stimulants
TO renew his overtaxed energies or else narcot-
les TO superinduce sleep. In 1878 his condition
became such that he was removed to the Insane
Asylum. After remaining there some time he
was released but never fully recovered the
full possession of his mental vigor For the past
two or three years lie has been mere wreck OF his
former self. Mr. Stage has often remarked that he
would meet with violent death, and it is matter
of conjecture whether or not the administration
Of the choral was with suicidal intent Owing
TO his habitual use of narcotics, it is the more
reasonable supposition that he unwilling ly took

A Decision Affecting school Revenues.

Superintendent Holcornbe, of the department
Of public instruction, has received notice that
Judge j. I. Allison, of the Switzerland County
Circuit Court, has declared the local tuition tax
to be unconstitutional This tax has been de-
Shared unconstitutional three times in the his
Ory Of the State, twice before the present, re-
erectively in 1854 and 1857. 1t is stated in the
clerks Office thar the matter has never been
taken to the Supreme Court for its final decision
II the local tax is abolished it will result quite
isastrously 10 the educational interests all over
che State. Some districts will not be able to
continue their schools for more than three
months in the year. The present general tax is
insufficient in many places TO provide revenue
enough TO defray the school expenses, while in
other districts in consequence of the large amount
OF taxable property and school population, the
same general tax provides more than enough to
Tun the schools satisfactorily. The local tuition
tax, therefore, is deemed by cur educators to be
virtual necessity, and the proper authorities
VIII speedily take an appeal TO the Supreme
kours, where the decision is most certain to be
hostile To the position taken by Judge Allison.
