\ MEASURE now under consideration
by the pension committee provides for
granting pensions to persons injured in
fighting Indians. Some such provisions
ought long since to have been mada, and
its adoption now would be an act OF tardy
Justice to the brave frontiersmen who
have undergone the dangers and hard
ships OF savage warfare. The main fea-
lures Of the bill are as follows Any
person who may have been or who shall
hereafter he disabled by wounds or in
iuries received in any Indian hostilities,
whether serving for the time being as a
member eff any state or territorial militia.
or as temporary volunteers TO rcpcl an
attack of Indians upon the whites, or in
any other manner Of Indian warfare, shall,
upon making proper application, be emit
tied to be placed on the pension rolls, The
widow and children of the persons named
shall be entitled to pensions in the same
manner and ON the same conditions as
pensions are now granted 10 widows and
children of deceased enlisted men who
served in the military service of the

Apropos Of the martial spirit Of the
English people, 1t is well shown in the
powerful organization known rs the vol
unteers. Without these England would
have no voice in the affairs of Europe In
the present day. The standing army and
reserves would make a miserable showing
on paper or in the field beside the gigantic
array OF soldiers which France, Germany,
Austria or Russia could put in the field at
three days notice. The militia, number
ing perhaps 5000 or 100, 900 men, is the
worst arm of the English military service,
composed of the offscourings of the cities
and recruited from the ranks of those
who are willing TO take their chance OF be-
ing drafted for active service in the event
of IA long foreign war. But the volunteers
are the pick of the youth of the country,
expert marksmen. well-armed, well dis
ciplined and numbering 10000 uniformed
men, which on emergency could be
strengthened by the addition OF 100000
who have passed through their ranks.
These men are commanded by colonies
and adjutants from the regular army, and
once or twice in each year Il number Of
them are brigaded with regular troops, as
Mt the recent Dover review. In former
years the uniform was OF n motley charac-
ter. Some wore the dark tunic trousers
OF the rifle brigade, familiarity known as
the sweeps others adopted the Confed-
crate gray. while n large percentage
chose the orthodox scarlet The tendency
OF the present time is toward "A uniform
ity OF union, and doubtless in due time
there will be but one color for all volun-
teer regiments. Scarlet is the soldierly
hue, but the very worst that could be

THE YACHT RACE.
The MayflOwer, While in the Lead is ShU
Out by Fog

The MayfiOwer. While in the Lead is Shut
Ont by Fog.
New YORK, Sept. 9.-The wind was
blowing at the rate of twenty-six miles all
hour this morning when the two yachts,
the Mayflower and Galatea, fol-
lowed by a cOncourse of tugs and
vessels of every description, came up the
bay to the Islsrd. Bunting was displayed
everywhere, but the occasion was not
marked by the display which had
accompanied the first race. At 11:55
a. IN. the vessels were ready 10
start and the signal was given. The Gala
tea was given the same allOwance-ihirty
secOnds-as in the last race 1t sped along
in splendid shape.
IL m.-Ihe Gaiatea, it is thought is gain
ing little.
12:55-The Mayfower is now an eighth
of a mile ahead.
1:30-A dense fog has settled over the
course. Nothing exact is obtainable. A
tug boat has just returned with the news
that the MayfiOwer is still ali eighth of a
mile ahead.
New YORK, Sept 1O.-There were plenty
of disappointed yachtsmen In New York
last night, for the second race of the inter-
national series had been postponed until
Saturday. After sailing in fresh breeze
from the eastward for four hours the May
flower and GaIatea, with an accOmpa-
nying feet OF nearly a hundred yes
sells. were enyelOped in a thick fog ten
miles east of Sandy Hook lightship and were
compelled TO abandon the race. When ths
MayhOwer rounded the ''outer mark"
twenty miles east of Scotland Lightship,
at :26:2. the Galatea was not in sight.
The Nayfiower had outssiled her on every
tack from the start both carrying the same
sail in breeze that was steady from about
east with occasional rain squalls and
moderately heavy swell from that quarter.
