Senate has lassed bill providing for
the purchase Of the square Immediately
West of it for the sum of s550,0OO, on
which to erect the extension.
The House Committee on Invalid
Pensions has agreed to report favorably
bill pensioning all honorably discharg-
ed soldiers of the late war who served
ninety days and are or may become
disabled from performing manual labor,
unless such disability has been occasloned
by their own gross carelessness or vicious
habits.
At the time that the Southern Claims
Commission expired by Limitation of
law, there were thousands of cases that
had been disallowed because the proof of
LOYALTY had not been as iull as the Com.
mission thought it ought to be, and a
large number of other claims not acted
on at al! for want Of evidence in support
of the claim. The Commission held that
"neutrality" of the claimant was not
sufficient to establish loyalty; that there
must be evidence Of "active sympathy"
with the cause of the Union. Of late
years a number of these claimants have
appealed to Congress for relief. The
Senate Committee on claims has just
reported adversely on several of these
claims, and in its report says that "there
are nearly $500 of these rejected claims,
involving an amount of more than
S5,0OO,O0O. The Committee do not deem
it Just or wise to open the door to this
food of claims, when no substantial or
equitable reason is shown for so doing"

A Typical Railroad Wreck.

COLUMBIA, S. c., March 21.-The
passenger train coming from Augusta on
the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad, and due here at 1.20 p. m., met
with serious accident to-day three
miles beyond Lexington, and but for the
fact that it was running slowly a number
of lives would probably have been lost.
At the place indicated the engine struck
broken rail and left the track, the
track spread and was torn up by the en-
CINE, which, before it could be stopped,
turned at almost right angles across the
track. The accident occurred where the
track rau on O FIVE foot embankment.
Down this the tender jumped, turning
upside down. The mail, baggage and
smoking cars all went over the embank-
ment on their sides. The first class car
left the track, but did not fall, and the
sleeper remained on the rail. The con-
ductor walked to Lexington and tele-
graphed here for special train, which
was Immediately dispatched and return
ed to Columbia at $40 this afternoon,
four hours late. A passenger informed a
representative of the Netcs and Courier
Bureau that no one was severely hurt,
but that all were pretty badly shaken up
and frightened. The mail agent was for
a time in q dangerous position. His car
was on its side and the door above his
head was bolted on the inside, out Of his
reach, when the mail matter took fire.
After much effort the agent succeeded in
getting the door open, when rope was
lowered and tying it around his waste he
was hauled up. Some young men got
into the mail car and threw the burning
matter out. The accident is described as
typical wreck, the track being entirely
torn up and the cars smashed so badly
that they viii be of no further service.

Mr.. Gladstone's ministry is embar-
rassed upon the Irish question by a
division among themselves. Mr.. Glad
stone proposes to settle the questions
growing out Of the controversy be
tween landlords and tenants in Ireland
by the purchase of the Irish lands
BY the British government. This will
require an increase o. the English debt
by the sum of s4OO,OO0,Oo, or near
s2,OOO,OOO,00O, which is larger sum
than portion of the ministry are willing
to assume. The opposition to this
scheme is led in the Cabinet by Mr..
Chamberlain, and is participated in by
tile young men in the Cabinet, and in the
Whig and Tory party. This scheme of
Mr.. Gladstone strikes us as one eminent
.ly wise and statesmanlike, and if con.
summated will be the crownipg glory of
grand life It will give peace to the
British government, and will not even
tually cost the kingdom any considerable
sum of money, for the government will
own the land, and can lease and sell it
out to the present population of Ireland
in small tracts, on such terms as to be
very advantageous 10 them, and at the
same time pay off the debt contracted by
the government for the purchase. This
would abolish all coercive measures, and
bring ireland into the kingdom upon the
same equal and friendly terms as Scot
land occupies.

= Mrs. s. A. Lovejoy,. II Cedar street
Charlestown, Mass, has been making
some interesting and valuable expert.
ments in producing fibre from cotton
stalks. In letter 10 friend in Spar
tanburg he says: II commenced few
days ago to experiment and to day send
you enclosed the first specimen have
obtained. 1t is small lot, for I took
only few stalks to begin with, but
enough perhaps to give you some idea of
the fibre. 1t (the ibre) can be easily
bleached to a snow white if desired. 1
send also small piece as first taken
from the stalk showing the color and the
gummy or resinous matter which it con-
tains. This l take out after few hours
treatment, and it is this which has been
very difficult to accomplish by any ordi-
nary means, and is the reason why cotton
fibre has not been pro6tably extracted
from the stalk before. II seems to me
that, if properly prepared, this is very
valuable fibre for many uses. 1t is said
to be stronger than fax and is of as fine
or finer fibre.

= Thursday night while leading
wholesale grocer, w. B. Mitchels, Of
Chattanooga, was sitting at his desk in
his Office opening his mail he heard heavy
breathing in the room, and supposing it
was some animal that had crept in,
glanced casually around. He beheld a
negro within ten feet of him, hidden
behind the desk, with double barrelled
shot gun in his grasp, levelled at the
gentleman's head. The negro did not
know he was discovered and Mr.. Mitch.
ell, with wonderful GOODNESS, proceeded
to open his mail and then carelessly left
the store. He Immediately notified the
police, and the negro was captured in
the building. He confessed that he WAS
sent there by two professional cracksmen
to remain hidden until the store was
locked and then to let them in.

Hatred Of Hancock.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-At the
evening session the House passed thirty
pension bills. The last bill to be con-
sidered was that granting pension of
1000 a year to the widow of Gen. w.
S. Hancock. Mr. Bingham, of Pennsyl-
vania, eloquently supported the bill and
quoted as precedents the cases of the
widows of Admiral Farragut and Gen.
Thomas.
Mr.. Price, of Wisconsin, opposed the
bill, and stated that it must be consid-
cred in full House. He knew that the
country had paid Gen. Hancock, bril-.
liant, brave, generous in all his proper
tions, the sum of $4,000 during the
last twenty years.
"He helped save your country" sug-
gested Mr. Bingham.
Mr.. Price: "And there are hundreds
of thousands as good as he who helped
save the country who are starving"
Continuing, he said that the practice OF
granting large pensions to widows of
men who had been receiving big salaries
and who died poor was destructive of
American manhood. The influence was
to make men live up to the last dollar of
their salaries in pomp and extravaganza
and champagne. 1t shook every princi-
Pile Of justice and created a privileged
class.
Mr.. Bingham regretted the necessity
of taking the bill before the House in
full session. He thought it would be so
graceful an act, so generous an act to
pass the bill now that he felt that the
gentleman own constituents would ap.
plaud him for being Il party to it. He
(Bingham) could not argue this question
without losing his patience. For four
years he had served on Hancock's per-
sonal staff, and he regretted that the
pension of the widow of that general
should be fixed as. low as $4,000. The
bill introduced by Mr.. Pulitzer, granting
a pension equal to that of the widows Of
Ex Presidents would have been more in
accord with his feelings. With the ex.
ception Of Lincoln, he knew Of no man
of modern times who had done more for
his country, for civilization, humanity
and liberty than Hancock had. Ap.
plause. He trusted that the gentleman
from Wisconsin price, would let the
question come before this gathering to-
night. Let this case 60 through as cases
of this kind should 60 through, q tribute
of the representatives of the people to
the widow of one of the brayest and
most chivalric soldiers of Our war.
On the question of passing the bill the
vote stood 25 to T. Price, Zach. Taylor,
Johnson, of Indiana, and Winans.
Mr.. Price then raised the question Of
no quorum.
The previous question was, however,

The debate in the Senate on the right
of the President to remove federal officers
before their term of Office expires has
developed several strong speeches in that
body, and it is promised that vote on
the question will be taken early next
week. In the meantime President
Cleveland pursues the even tenor of his
way, and does not appear to care how
many resolutions the Senate may pass
on this or any other question in which
they may seek to raise partisan issue
with his administration. Cleveland has
as much resolution as all the Republi.
cans in the Senate combined, and the
more they say he should bounce incom-
petent Radicals from federal Office, the
more he will show them not only that he
can, but also that he will bounce them.
