The Skowhegan -NorridscW5ck Link

the legislature of certain citizens Of
Skowhegan and other Somerset towns
for charter for a railroad from his Yil-

be presented to the legislature this week
and will PROBABLY receive favorable con
sideration as there Is no opposition that
we can learn Of in auy quarter. Two

charter over this route, but the Boston
and Quebec Air Line scheme came up and
our pcople took stock in it to that extent
that it was thought best not 20 urge 1t
There was also an element If opposition
to the "link" at that time in Norrdse-
woek. The legislature may object to
granting a charter for railroad whtn
the organization can be Effected undo r
general law. If IA legislative charter can
be obtained The work upon the lne can
be commenced more promptly and pushed
along more expcditiou~ly than through
the organization under general law, hence

A Caucus of Republican Senators
to Nfap 1t Out.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The Repub-
ican senators held meeting this morn
Ing ty determine On al order of busi-
ness for this, the last week of the ses-
sion. There was a full attendance.
The propriety of laying aside the rese-
luton in relation to OutrageS in various
states was discussed. 1t was stated by
senators interested in other legislation
before the senate that it would be i'm
possible to dispose of any other bnsi-
ness if the debate OIL the elections reso-
luton was allowed to continue. as it
was evident that the Democrats did not
intend to allow the resolution to be
adopted at this session. Tney urged
the advisabiiity of allowing the matter
to 20 over TO the executive session,
when it could be disposed of without
interfering with the other business be-
fore the senate.
1t was finally decided to lay aside
the resolution temporarily and to
take up Immediately the bill
for the opening of the Sioux
Indian reservation. The understand
ing is that when that is disposed of the
SenlnOle Dlll anu tHell lue u C6 Ulli VIII
be taken up. and after them Senator
CuIlom has given notice that he will
call up the Oklahoma bill. 1t is ex-
peeted that Senator Edmunds, the chair
man of the caucus, will appoint COM
mittee On order of business within few
days, and this committee will determine.
in the future what matters shall be
taken up. The elections resolution will
not be shelyed entirely. but will be used
by the Republicans to choke off objec-
tionable legislation which may be urged
from the Democratic side. The caucus
this morning also practically deter
mined another question of great i'm
portance-that another executive ses-
sion should be held before adjournment.
A number OF Republican senators have
been endeaYoring to prevent an execu-
tive session which will assure, as they
think, the confirmation of the nomina-
tions of District Commissioner Webb.
Civil Service Commissioner Thompson
and several other recent nominees. But
at least one, and probably several exec
utive sessions will be held before the
end of this week.

PENSION BILLS VETOED.
A Sensible Little Veto Message in
the McCOol Case.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The presi-
dent to-day vetoed five private pension
bills. The bills granting pensions to
Squire Walter. Henry Y. Bass, William
Barnes and John j. Jockey were disap-
proved upon the ground that the death
Or disability of the soldier on account of
which pension is sought was not due to
his military service. AS to the case OF
John McCool the president in his veto
message says:
''The report of the committee in the
house OF representatives recommending
the passage of this bill contains no inti-
nation that there exists any disability
contracted in the military service. but
distinctly declares the pension recon-
mended a service pension, and states
that the beneficiary is blind. AS long
as the policy of granting pensions for
disability traceable to the incidents of
army service is adhered to, the allow
ance OF pensions 10y special acts based
upon service only gives rise to unjust
and unfair determinations among those
equally entitled. and makes preeedents
which Will eventually result in au entire
departure from the principle upon
which pensions are now awarded"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-It is under
stood Tonight that Mr.. Randall will to-
morrow press the appropriation bills to
final consideration as fast as possible as
against every other measure, including
the California election case. Immedi-
ately after the appropriation bills are
out of the way he will call up the
Cowles bill and keep it in the teeth of
the house until voted upon, so that those
who favor the repeal of the tobacco tax
can lave he opportunity of voting upon
the measure. In an interview tonight
Representative Cowles said: Il think
the election case is being used to con-
sumo time and thereby prevent action on
the resolution setting apart time for the
consideration of tho bill for repeating
the tobacco tax, and for the call of the
previous question thereon with a yea
and nay vote. 1t is certain that the bill
would pass by more than loo majority
if allowed TO come to a vote. 1t is true
that many participate in this futile at
tempt to obtain consideration for the
election case (Which, by the way. should
have been considered, if at all.long ago.,
who favor the repeal Of the tobacco tax,
but who do not seem to care enough
about it to insist upon using the little
time remaining to this congress in at
tempting to do something that can be
done. 1t is evident now, and has been
for some time, that the Republicans do
not intend that this election case shall
be heard, and that they have power to
prevent it. 1t would be much better to
finish the appropriation bills, vote npon
the tobacco tax, and then, il we see fit,
consume the remainder of the session,
il necessary. on the election case"
