WAR ON SENATOR ALLISON.
There is Prospect of Lively Times I'm
Iowa.

CHICAGO. Nov. ia dispatch 10 the Nelrs
from Des Moines, Iowa. SAYS: There is evidently
going to be lively times in the legislature.
The republican majority is so small that every
effort will be brought to bear for the defeat of
Senator Allison and the enactment of a high
license law. Whether either of these can be
accomplished remains TO be seen. Already the
democrats are casting about for a suitable can
dldate for the United States Senate for whom a
few republicans can be induced TO vote.
Flushed with their victory in the election OF a
governor they naturally turn TO their success
ful candidate the most available man, but
there is stumbling block in the way IN the
shape of the probable defeat of their candidate
Tor lieutenant governor. IN which event TO take
Mr.. Boies out of the governors chair would
be to put a republican lieutenant governor
in it.
THE LIQUOR QUESTION.
There seems to be little doubt now that the
liquor law would be changed somewhat. even
to the extent Of the enactment of high license
law. This is not only the desire of the dem
ocratic party, but seems to be the will of the
majority of the people as expressed at the polls
last Tuesday. Already the republican leaders
like Congressman Henderson and Reed and
republican papers like the Sioux City Journal
have not hesitated 20 say that prohibition was
the prime cause of republican defeat and TO
express belief that high license law will be
enacted this winter. The republican party.
a party, has never espoused the prohibition
cause, but has always stood in the attitude Of
carrying out tine will of the people. Now it
seems to be the feeling of the people that they
nave had enough of extreme prohibition and
are willing to return to high license. Ii will be
an easy matter for enough republicans in the
Legislature to combine with the democrats aud
give them the change demanded

chAhLEe r LINCOLN. Oruerly sergeant OF MS
company in the first Michigan regiment, Of
which Gen. U. B. Wilcox, now governor of the
Soldiers Home, Washington, was colonel. Ser
geant Lincoln was present with his regiment
at the capture Of Alexandria and at the battle
of Bull Run. Subsequently he was made cap
tain of company G, nineteenth Michigan in
fantry, and was with his regiment
and brigade, commanded by Gen. John Coburn
OF Indiana, captured at the battle of Spring
Hill, Tenn, and confined in Libby prison for
several months. He continued in active SER
vice after his release with his regiment in the
campaign OF the army Of the Cumberland.
Mr.. Lincoln was for several years employed in
the internal revenue service. In 1878 he was
commissioned by President Grant as consul to
Canton, China, which Office he filed until 1881,
when he returned to his home in Michigan.
In 1883 he opened law Office in Washington.
He is well and favorably known in GAR cir
cles, having served for two years as commander
of the famous Kit Carson post, and last year as
commander Of the department of the Potomac.
The appointment Of Col. Lincoln was made
by the President after consultation with Gen.
Raum, who has known the appointee for some
years. Gen. Bartlett, who held the Office for
the past four years, handed in his resignation
to the President ten days ago. He
has been in very bad health for
some time past and felt that he
Office. Gen. Raum said this morning that Gen.
Bartlett was gallant soldier and good official
and if it had not been for his bad health his
resignation would not have been accepted.
SWORN IN.
Col. Lincoln was at the Interior department
early this morning, and, having taken the oath,
he walked over to the pension Office, where he
called on the commissioner, and was then in
troduced to Gen. Bartlett. The latter remained
for some time in the room and gave his
successor suggestions in regard to the duties
Of the place. Under the reassignment of the
duties of the two deputies great deal of i'm
porsant business devolves upon the second
deputy, and as Col Lincoln is a personal ap-
pointment Of the commissioner they are likely
to work together with harmony.
THE FIRST DEPUTY.
STAR reporter asked Commissioner Raum
today whether it was intended to appoint some
one in place of the first deputy, Hiram Smith.
Gen. Raum replied that Mr.. Smith was now
away on leave.
While this reply is rather vague and was, no
doubt, intended to be SO by the Commissioner,
yet the impression at the pension Office is by no
means vague. 1t seems to be pretty well set
tied that Mr.. Smith will be allowed to resign
upon the expiration of his leave of absence.

From Wall Street Today.

New YORK. Nov. 1.-THE stock market
opened with extreme activity this morning,
but the weakness which appeared in the mar
ket during the last few minutes on Saturday
was carried over and first prices were generally
small fractions lower than Saturdays closing
figures, while further losses were sustained over
the entire list in the early dealings. These
losses were generally confined to small frac-
tions, but Lakawanna declined u and Atchi-
son v. The weakest point in the list, however,
was Tennessee coal, whose late sharp advances
made it particularly vulnerable ana il dropped
from 6s to 62l{. The trusts were strong, cot
ton oil in particular, which rose from S2s< at
the opening to 3SJk, though it was surpassed
BY sugar with . gain Of " per cent. After
1880 the decline was checked and the pressure
being removed full recovery was had in some
cases, Atchison being specially prominent
among the active stocks, while Tennessee coal
advanced ~ to 641. The market showed no
strength, however, and while the trading be-
came quiet prices receded slightly again, and
at II O'Clock the market ives only fairly active

PAY OF THE ARMY.
The Annual Report Of Paymaster Gem
eral Rochester.

The annual report Of Paymaster General
Rochester to the Secretary Of War shows that
the total disbursements during the past fiscal
year amounted to S14, 1856 $40. 81, net increase
Of 1924, .92 over the previous year. This
increase is due to large increase in the num-
Der of discharged men-997 more than during
the previous year. To the forty-one posts paid
monthly thirty-one posts have been added,
leaving sixty-three posts to which the system
of monthly payments has not been extended
A further extension of this system cannot be
made without an increase in the number of
paymasters
CASUALTIES.
Since the last report the department has lost
one officer by death. Maj. Henry Clayton, two
by retirement and before the close of the year
another officer will be retired. These casual
ties will reduce the force to thIrtynine officers,
of whom only thirty-five, including the assist
ant and deputy paymasters general will be
available for active disbursing duty.
THE ROBBERY OF MAJOR wHAM.
''The risk to which officers of this depart
ment are especially subjected" says Gen.
Rochester, "has again been emphasized by the
robbery of Maj. J. W. Wham. This officer,
while en- route to pay the troops at Fort
eleven men, his clerk, servant and a sergeant.
was attacked May II, 1889, by a band of
robbers and driven from the ambulance con-
tanning his money chest, which they rifed and
escaped with the contents. Maj. Wham re-
ports the amount stolen as S28.345.1 10 Several
of the supposed robbers have since been cap
tured and are held by the civil authorities for
trial. This Office has not been advised Of the
recovery Of any portion of the stolen funds"
TRANSPORTATION OF OFFICERS
The amount appropriated for payment Of
mileage to officers for the last fiscal year was
S15O, 900, with the proviso that the transporta-
ton furnished by the quartermasters depart
ment to officers travelling without troops shall be
limited to transportation iii kind, over free
roads, over bond-aided Pacific roads, and by
conveyance belonging to that department,
always excepting sleeping and parlor car ac-
commodations. BY this new legislation the
cost of transportation of officers other than by
the routes excepted was cast upon the pay
masters department. The appropriation was
expended before the close of the fiscal year,
leaving large number Of claims unprovided
for, amounting at present to S9,32366.
made against officers, amounting to $52. .762. a.
THE AMOUNT DEPOSITED BY ENLISTED MEN
during the year was $3.50, 1885, "a, a slight de-
crease from the amount deposited during the
previous year. The decrease may be due to
the fact that owing to the more frequent pay
ments the enlisted men who usually made de-
posts of small amounts do not feel inclined on
receipt of only half the sum to deposit so large
a proportion OF it. To encourage these men
and to give them every opportunity to save
their money it is recommended that the mini
mum limit to the amount that may be deposited
be reduced from S5 to 50.

CARRYING WAR INTO AFRICA.
The Natives Up in Arms Against the
Europeans-Other Foreign Topics.

LONDON. Nov. 11.-Since the news arrived of
the homeward march of Stanley with Emin
Pasha and his party and of the reported dis
aster to DIR. Peters relief expedition the
British East African company has been
rapidly picking up all the best available men

by the rebellious natives. Capt. Lugard,
whose name is well known in connection with
the Lake Nyassa troubles, and Mr.. George S.
Mackenzie, with $50 men, left for Mombassa
this week. The East African company antici-
pates heavy work to hold its territory against
the Arabs. Latest news indicates that all the
native elements are up in arms and are for the
mement brethren In common cause to drive
out the detested foreigners, This serious up
rising on the part of the natives is attributed
to Capt. Wisman's attempt to increase the
sphere OF German influence by exterminating
the people.

not be the success IL was intended to be with
out taking in the Chicago and Eastern Illinois,

would have shoruer route by six miles be-
tween indianapolis and Chicago than II now
has, besides acquiring the excellent terminal
facilities which the Chicago and Eastern Ili-
nois controls in this city. Moreover, by build
ing l3 miles of track it could have a double
