Congress-.

The senate has passed the dependent PEN
sion bill, only sixteen senators (all from the
South voting in the negative. The prOvis-
ions of the bill require proof of the fact and
cause of death; that the soldier left neither
widow nor minor child, and that such par
ent or parents are without other means of
support than their own manual labor or the
contributions of others not legally bound
for their support. All pensions under this
section will run from the date of its pas
sage or from the date of such dependence.
The bill further provides pension at the
rate of S12 per month for all such persons
as, having served three months in the army
or navy during the rebellion, and being hon
orably discharged from service are now or
hereafter shall be, suffering from mental or
physical disability not the result of their
own vicious habits, which totally incapaci-
tates them from the performance of manual
labor and who are without other means Of
support The senate adoped, without de-
bate, the change of its rules, by which a
treaty may be made public or considered in
open session whenever desired by ma
jority of the senate.
The house passed bill appropriatng
$4,000 for the purchase of the presentatio on
swords belonging to the late General James
Shields of Missouri and of a bill for the
allotment of lands in severalty on Mime
sofa Indian reservations. The Alabama
contested election case was decided in favor
of Davidson, democrat.
The majority of the ways and means com
mittee submitted to the full committee the
internal revenue bill. The reduction of
taxes amounts to $25,000,000. The house
judiciary committee will report favorably
on bill to relieve the United States SUI
preme court by establishing an intermediate
court. The house committee on invalid
pensions agreed to report favorably bill to
grant pension of 500 per month to per-
sons who have lost both hands. The com
mittee on banking and currency has or
dered adverse reports on the pending bills
to repeal the law imposing a ten per cent
tax on state bank circulation. 1t is now
understood that tariff bill will be drawn
up by the republican members of the ways
and means committee.
Mr.. Randall has completed his tariff bill.
1t repeats the entire internal tax on tobacco
and on fruit brandies. 1t also repeats the
license tax on wholesale and retail liquor
dealers, leaving these, as recommended by
Jefferson so that " the state authorities
might adopt them" 1t makes alcohol used
in the arts free and reduces the tax on
whskey from ninety to fifty cents per gallon.
The bill is a careful and complete revision
of the whole tariff system. 1t carries to the
free list large number of articles now pay
ing duties which enter into consumption
either as raw material or otherwise, and in
the production of which there is no injurious
competition between this and other coun.
tries. The estimated reduction will be
on internal taxation, $4,000, 600; on tariff
schedules, S25, 100000.

The Republican League.

A meeting of the executive committee of
the Vermont Republican League was held
at Burlington on the Sth. The temporary or
ganization effected at Montpelier was made
permanent, namely: Hon. w. l.. Burnap
of Burlington, chairman G. S. Forbes of
st. Adams, secretary. The following COM
mittee on bylaws was appointed: ID. j..
Stafford, W. w. Stckney, III, G.. Bates. On
motion committee consisting of Governor
Proctor, Chairman Burnap and secretary
Forbes was appointed to formulate an adj
dress to the republicans of Vermont for the
further organization of clubs. The COM
mittee on bylaws reported recommending
the adoption in substance of some of the
bylaws recommended by the national
league. The finance committee appointed
is as follows: Chairman Burnap, Secretary
Forbes and Treasurer Lewis, er oticio, III.
l.. Clark, II. G. Bates, j, II. Denison. Sec
rotary Forbes reported that since the date
of formation of the state league, when there
were seventy-seven clubs, eight clubs had
been formed-at Glover, Wheelock, Corn
wall, Pittsford, Barnard, st. Johnsbury
Academy and Middlebury College-making
eighty-four clubs in Vermont, President
Proctor of the league, Chairman Burnap and
Secretary Forbes were constituted a com
mittee to arrange with the state committee
for the distribution of campaign literature
and in general to fix upon plans for CO.
operation and harmonious action with thai
committee. 1t was voted that " IL is the
sense OF this committee that immediate
steps be taken for the organization of re
publican clubs in every town in Vermont
The committee then adjourned subject t.
call.

ton. Authority has been given by the
chiefs of the various brotherhoods so that
the engineers or trainmen of any railroad
in the United States may strike whenever
they think it will help their brethren on
the Chicago, Burlington Quincy railroad.
Chief Arthur, in circular, after reviewing
the causes of the strike, says: "The Broth
erhoods of Locomotive Engineers and Fire
men are now engaged in life and death
struggle. War has been declared between
them and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad The brotherhoods cannot recede
from their demands on the wage question
and maintain their self-respect or their or
ganizations They can only respect the
claims of neutrals so far as they remain
neutral. They must and will exhaust every
honorable means to win the fight.
The Chicago, Burlington Il Quincy road
has secured a temporary order from the
United States circuit court compelling the
receiver of the Wabash, st. Louis ~ Pacific
road to move its freight. The court also is
sued an order to Chief Arthur forbiddng
him to issue any orders to engineers to in
duce them to commit any act that will pre-
vent the Wabash from receiving freight
from the Burlington or in any other way re-
strict its usefulness as common carrier. a
sweeping order affecting the striking en-
gineers was made Friday by United States
Judge Dundy at Omaha. 1t requires the
Union Pacific railroad to take freight from
the Burlington road and restraints the Union
Pacific engineers from refusing to take it
and also from striking combining or con-
decorating for the purpose of organization
or advising strike.
Vice President Kimball of the Union
Pacific has addressed a circular to Union
Pacific employees calling attention to the in
terstate commerce law prohibiting discrim-
nations against persons, localities or cor
porations, and with regard to conspiracies
against the United States. The circular APP
peals to engineers not to render themselves
and the company liable under these laws
by refusal to handle freight of connecting
lines. The manager of a western road says
general strike would ring the death knell
of the Brotherhood of Engineers. The rail-
road managers would combine, and no en-
gineer would be employed as brotherhood
man.
At an important delegate convention Of
locomotive engineers and tiremen, held
Sunday in New York, menace was formu-
lated against all companies which continue
to aid the Chicago Burlington & Quincy.
The enginemen on the eastern roads enter
ing Chicago decided not to insist on boycott
ting the Burlington. A strike is threatened
by engineers, tiremen, switchmen and
brakemen in Kansas City and Topeka. The
traffic of the Burlington road is consider
ably increased.

American Eyes.

rpeclal
The efforts Of the War Department to secure
a field glass for the service of greater power
than the one they now use. has discovered the
fact that the eyes of the average American are
closer together than those Of men in foreign
countries. Tho double glass. known as the field
glass. now used is weaker than that used in the
armies of Europe. Il is of only from five to
six powers-entirely too weak for the purpose
The only glass they can get Of sufficient power
is q single spy glass. which is defective in that
it does not take in q broad enough field. This
is very serious defect in the equipment Of tho
American army but there seems 70 be no i'm
mediate prospect of its correction, because our
eyes are too close together. Some of the col
ored troops may be able 70 use q different glass,
but the white Yankee soldier cannot overcome
this national popularity. The best military
field glass In use is that with which the German
armyis supplied. An attempt was made to
adopt them by the War Department, but it was
found that the eyes Of the glasses were SO far
apart that they could not be used by Americans.
The Department 10 studying how to overcome
this difficulty.
