Pensions! Veterans q!
The Disability Pension Bill.

Act of June 81, 1890, grants pensions 10
all ex-soldiers and sailors who served 90
days or more in the Army or Navy during
the rebellion, and were honorably discharg-
ed, and who are now suffering from any
permanent, mental or physical disability
contracted since the war or during the war
whether from disease, injuries or effects of
old age, at the rate Of from So to $l2 per
month, according to the degree of his dis
ability for the performance of labor requir-
ing the exertion of physical strength
provided the disability is not due to vici-
Gus habits. This pension is not restricted
to the veterans who have to make their
living by hard labor, but is equally due to
professional men or clerks, provided they
have an existing disability which would
prevent the continuous exercise OF the
physical strength of an able-bodied man.
Those who have applied under the gen.
eral laws and who are unable to prove up
the pending claim can apply for and Sc
cure this pension and then continue the
prosecution of the former claim and secure
their arrears.
If YOU are now drawing small pension,
say SO or 81 per month, you can take this
pension instead and IL you have an appli-
cation on file for increase or additional
pension for new disabilities you can con-
tinue the prosecution OF such claims while
drawing the new pension, or you can file
an original claim for disability contract
ed in the service while drawing pension
under this new act
Widows, children, and dependent moth
ers and fathers are entitled under this act
and can suspend the prosecution of any
pending claim, and take this pension, and
afterwards complete the prior claim and
get arrears.
Having been duly appointed an Agent
according to the rules and regulations OF
the Department of the Interior in the pros
ecution of such claims and having had sue.

pared to give information and assist claim

sTEWART's OPINION.
The Windcm Silver Bill Will Probably Pas
the Senate.

The Windcm Silver Bill Will Probably Pass
the Senate.
WASHINGTON, juno 1.-THE California
Associated Press correspondent has just
learned from a certain Senator that petition
was secretly circulated among the Senators
to-day pedging them to vote against free
coinage and in favor of the Window bill, the
caucus measure which has already been
passed by the House. The petition re-
ceived twenty-seven signatures to-day and
only lacks eleven to make the necessary
thirty-eight, which is majority.
At o'clock Monday afternoon the Silver
Bill comes up for its final disposition. The
California Associated Press correspondent
has interviewed number of Senators on
the silver question and the prospects for the
passage of the eWindom bill. and from the con-
census of opinion obtained the correspond
eDt believes that the House caucus meas
ure will pass the Senate Monday with the
bullion clause eliminated. Senator Stewart
has been actively canvassing among the
Senators and believes this will be the re-
suit. He was not aware Of petition being
circulated among the Senators secretly
pledging them to support the administra-
ton measure, but says it was very probable
and that of course he would not have been
approached on the matter. He thinks,
however, that there are not twenty-Seven
Senators who signed any such pledge, and
furthermore, that not ten Senators in that
body would sign such pledge.
1.-THE House bill will be amended by the
Senate and passed before o'clock on Mon
day." said he.
"How will it be amended. do you think ?"
The bullion clause will be eliminated
and the certificates will be made legal
tender, despite the report of the Finance
Committee" said Stewart, land if this is
done it will be a fairly good bill"

BERLIN. June 14.-The semi-oficial an
nouncement that Chancellor Caprivi will
accompany Emperor William on his visit
TO the Gar in August converts the meet
ing from an exchange of imperial cour-
tesies into diplomatic event. Prior to the
visit the Italian Premier, Crispi, viii come
here for a conference with Caprivi after
seeing the Austrian Premier, KalnOky.
These moves have distinct relation to
the renewal of negotiations for the settle
ment of the Bulgarian question. Russia
persists in refusing to recognize Prince
Ferdinand, but will recognize the Bulgarian
Premier, Stambouloff. The Government,
after the departure of Ferdinand, will send
Russian Commissioner to offer the Bull
garian people as alternative candidates for
the throne the Duke of Leuchtenberg or
Prince Karl, the son of the King of
Sweden. The Ger man. Russian and En-
glish diplomates at Constantinople are to be
replaced by new men who will work to-
gether on a more friendly footing. The
tendency Of these changes is rather favor
able to.the renewal Of the Cars influence
In the Balkins, but anything approaching
his former dominance there Austria will
not permit.
Although the vote of the committee on the
army bill proved essential to the future of
the measure its ultimate fate is uncertain.
The opposition to an increase Of the army
and the sentiment in favor of a reduction in
the terms of service are growing largely.
There have been sent to the Reiehstag peti-
tiOns against the increase from many dis
tricts.
A deputation Of Conservatives from the
Fourth District of Potsdam have urged
Bismarck to accept the candidacy for the
Reichstag, made vacant by the death of
Wedehl. Bismarck promised to give the
proposition his favorable considerable and
this is taken to mean that he will stand.
Themembers Of the Reichstag already fore
see that the Princes presence there will
produce the grouping Of new party under
his lead.
The American riflemen are meeting with
an extremely cordial reception.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-ln the House to-
day the Speaker announced the appoint
ment of Taylor of Ohio, Stewart of YER
mont and Bland of Missouri couferrees on
the Antitrust Bill.
Bland said that as the House had in
structed the conferrees to recede from its
amendment he had no further interest in
the matter, and asked to be excused. Gull
bertSon of Texas was appointed to the
vacancy.
The House went into Com mittee of the
Whole on the Sundry Civil Approximation
Bill, and after nubmer of amendments
were disposed Of the committee rose and
proceeded to pay tribute to the memory Of
the late Samuel j. Randall.
Among the speakers were: O'Neill of
PENNSYLVANIA, Forney of Alabama, Caswell
of Wisconsin, Blount of Georgia, Duzell of
Pennsylvania, Butterworth of Ohio, Nc
Comas of Maryland, Dunnell of Minnesota,

ginia, Buchanan of New York, Manson of
Missouri, Williams OF Ohio, Breckenridge
of Kentucky, Covert of New York, Kerr of
Pennsylvania, and Mr.. Randall's successor,
Mr.. Vaux.
Mr.. Vaux said, in part: "Randall's high
rank and great fame were due to his hon.
esty, his will power, his courage and his
determination. His personal and political
integrity were beyond the reacn of sus-
picion. Schemes, jobs and covert efforts to
secure public money were neither counte-
: nanced nor encouraged by him. His honesty
was the glory of his life. Those of his
party who could not agree with him on
stainless honor"

Special Dispatches to THE MORNING CALL

JOLIET Qll.), June 14.-The heaviest and
most damaging rain ever known here fell
steadily all last night, commencing with a
waterspout, which completely inundated
the northern, eastern and southern portions
OF the city,
At an early hour this morning the people
in the southern part of the city were COM
PEELED to move out in boats. Small out
buildings are floating around, ard men and
boys are sailing about on RATS and in boats
picking up articles of household furniture.
Street-car tracks in many places are three
feet under water and the electric-road is
stopped. Great damage to fences AID gar
dens has been done. Many railroad bridges
in this vicinity are washed away and trains
delayed. The food pegan subsidng this
afternoon.
ROCKFORD Qll). June 14-Never since
1857, when the waters rose and over
whelmed nearly all of Rockford, has such
disastrous flood visited this section as
that Of last evening. 1t is estimated that
the damage to property will reach S500,000
eompanied by vivid lightning and deafen-
ing thunder In short time every street
was a river, and soon devastating foods
were sweeping through the Kent and Keith
Creek valleys. Down the Keith Creek dis
tTict came the food, sweeping everything
before it. The water spread over the low
lands, filling cellars, creeping up into the
first stories of houses and driving people
from their beds. The basement stories Of
the Cooperative and Forest City furniture
factories were flooded many feet deep. The
lumber piles beside the factories were
picked up and carried along, planks and
heavy timbers proving battering rams,
which took down the bridges spanning the
creek.
The Fire Department and police worked
hard all night conveying people from the
flooded districts to places OF shelter. Many
fled from their houses when the water began
to run into their cellars, fearing they were
about to be carried away. So far as learned
no lives were lost. The city this morning
presented scene of desolation. The entire
lower portion was a lake covered with float
ing debris.
The Illinois Central and Milwaukee Rail-
road companies are the heaviest losers.
Many cattle and sheep were drowned and
considerable damage done to residences
which we're flooded. The waters receded
to-day almost as quickly as they had arisen.
PARIS (Ky.) June IA terrific lightning
and thunder storm passed over the northern

NOT YET DECIDED.
The Fight for the Big Cruiser Contract Goes
Merrily On.

Merrily On.
WASHINGTON, June 14.--The statement
telegraphed out last night that the question
of awarding the contract for the big ar
mored cruiser was discussed at the Cabinet
meeting yesterday is Indignantly denied at
the Navy Department on the authority of
the Secretary. The contract has not been
awarded yet, but will undoubtedly be next
week. For the 55o0-ton cruiser the contract
will undoubtedly go to the Union Iron
Works on their bid of ST, ,76o, GOO, unless the
plans are found to be too radical. For the
S100-ton cruiser the result is in doubt.
Cramp is working hard to have his bid ac-
cepted on his plans, and it is stated that he
now AYERS that his plans will not differ ma
terially from the Government plans. In
other words, he is working to secure the
contract on his bid on his own plans, and
will then build the cruiser almost exactly
on the Government plans. The general i'm
preston is that the Union Iron Works will
secure this contract also.
There is belief that the Secretary does
not want to crowd up any of the yards with
work, so that they will be indisposed to bid
on the battle-ships-in other words, that he
wants to secure an open competition on
these vessels, and it Is In view of that fact
that the theory has sprung up that he
wants to divide the work on the two ves-
sells recently proposed for between two
large establishments. Mr.. Scott, President
of the Union Iron Works, says that even if
he should get the contracts for both of the
cruisers he could easily take two Of the

HOUSE COMMITTEES.
A Substitute for the Alaska Land Bill-To
Protect Miners

n
Protect Miners.
WASHINGTON, June 14.-Representative
Payson of Illinois to-day reported from the
Committee on Public Lands a substitute
for the Senate bill for the acquisition Of
land for town sites and commercial pur-
poses In Alaska. The committee in its ac-
csmpanying report says that while the
Senate bill proposes partial relief, it does
not go far enough. The report refers to the
fact that during the twenty-five years
Alaska has been in the possession of the
United States, there has been. with the ex-
ception of mining laws, absolutely no legis-
lation tending to encourage its development
or afford protection for the investment of
their capital and labor to the several thou
sand Americans there.
The House Committee on Mines and
Mining to-day agreed upon bill having for
its object the better protection of the lives
Of persons employed in coal mining in the
Territories. There are but three Terri
tories that will be affected by the provis-
ions of the bill, viz: Alaska, Idaho and
Indian Territory, as these are the only ones
in which coal is mined. The bill provides
for the appointment of mine inspectors; for
furnishing mines with machinery and other
appliances necessary to the safety of the
employees. where these are inadequate
comDels the owners or managers to provide
at least two shafts, slopes or other outlets,
separated by natural strata of not less
than 150 feet in breadth, by which shafts,
slopes or outlets distinct means of ingress

employment of child labor in mines mis-
