The Pension bill, the first of the general
appropriation bills to be reported, was pre-
scented to Congress Tuesday. II calls for
SIC, 900, 600, an increase of SIG, 900, 600 over

become a law, that would call for SO, 600 900
more. Other pension bills are pending in
Congress, which, il enacted, would take from

dred millions of dollars.

A ssd story from ukan.s..

Hutchinson, Kan, correspondent in last
Mondays Springfield Republican tells a pitt
full story OF the suderings caused by the re-
cent billiards, heavy snow fall. and fuel
famine. The immigration into western Kan
sas last fall was large and the high price Of
timber compelled the new corners to live in
dug outs and rude shanties they were all
the more unprepared as the winter had been
comparatively mild up to the new year The
correspondent tells of a woman who whilst
her husband was from home during one OF
these billiards, tried with her two daughters
to reach neighbours house. Her daughters
becoming weary with what she supposed the
bad walking through the snow she left them
to summon assistance whilst almost within
sight Of the house. Upon returning she dis
covered her children locked in each others
embrace, frozen to death SIX young men
left Nickerson inst before the cold snap set
in to go farther west in a wagon, to take up
claims. The team was captured near Kings
ley with the harness on, and neck yoke and
lines still htched. Tue fate of the young
men Is unknown, but the worst s feared
Other cases are very numerous Iu one small
town northwest of Garden City the stage
driver discovered 20 bodies in as many houses
aud the town deserted These are only a
few Of hundreds of cases OF which we shall
probably never hear.
The fail Of snow has been the heaviest ever
known in that section, in some places four
feet on the level The railroad company has
done molly as far as lay in its power. As
soon as they could get the road open, another
storm would come and ill 1t up again yet it
has worked with untiring zeal, aud the peo-
Pile along the road have been given railroad
coal as long as il lasted.
The stock interest of western Kansas has
suffered a serious set back. It is impossible
for cattle, with three feet of snow on the
ground, to get anything to eat, and when
hall. starved, these terrible Billiards strike
them and they drift along With the storm un.
til some obstacle in the shape of a stream oil
wire fence stops them. Aud there they hud
die together and die, hundreds OF them in
bunch The mortality Of the cattle on the
range is frightful.
