IN THE SENATE.
Matters Relating to Pensions and APpro.
prtati0ns Discussed.


wAsHIyGToN. May 9.-In the senate to-
day Cockreli said he was humilitated at
the fact that the committee on appropria-
tons, headed by the distinguished sena.
tor from Iowa tAllison) had just been rid
den over rough-shod by republican ma
jority. There was no reason whatever
for an increase in the two offices, except
for the benefit of the spokcsmcn. Sher-
man suggested that Cockrcll was making
a very great affair out of small matter,
and argued for an increase, saying that
the pension Office at Columbus was so
crowded now by the increase in pen
sioners that II was necessary. He, Sher-
man, very seldom disputed with
the committee on appropriations,
but when the new question came up the
committee ought not TO feel offended that
its work had been inquired into. Cock
rell referred to the rumor that there was a
warm and lively contest over the Ohio
pension agency; that a friend OF an ex-
president had been selected over the
choice of another distinguished citizen
(meaning Sherman, and that senator,
who was SO grievously disappointed, was
patiently awaiting the creation OF these
showed that Cockrell had been looking
into small details about local affairs
which had no more connection with the
amendment than the man In the moon.
Allison said he felt aggrieved that the
majority voted an increase OF agencies. IL
shows that the majority had not exam
ined the question with the care IL should.
Paddock said there were localities worse
of Us regards the necessity for an in
crease OF agencies than Ohio.
He spoke on the needs OF Nebraska,
Kansas and other western states and said
il there was any action II should Ike read
| justment and consolidation of some Of
the smaller agencies. German said, in
the interest OF soldiers, congress might
bankrupt the government and probably
| would. for in 15 years there would he more
spent for pensions than IL had cost TO put
down the rebellion. In view of all this,
economy should be practiced in the ad.
ministration of the pension office at least.
| Finally the discussion closed and Sher.
Payne voted with the republicans and Al.
lison, Ingalls, and Plumb with the demo.
Gratis. Teller did not vote. The bill then
passed. and the military academy bill
was taken up and passed.
The army appropriation bill was then

amendment by striking out beer and

A singular natural phenomenon is re-
ported by Superintendent Lincoln, of
the Rumford Falls and Buckfeld rail
road. One foggy morning he was walk
ing up hill on the east side of Lake
Anasagunticook AS he neared the sum-
INIT he came into clear atmosphere, and
could look upon a sea Of yapor as it lay
over the lake and valleys, with now and
then mountain top rising above the
general level. The sun was just rising
and, as is usual under such conditions, a
rainbow was seen in the fog
But what attracted Mr.. Lincoln's at
tention particularly was the presence of
q bright spot in the center of the circle
particularly described by the rainbow.
This was SO luminous that at first Mr..
Lincoln thought it might be farm build
ings on fire some distance away in the
fog. This superstition was soon dispelled
by further developments.
The bright central spot was surrounded
by circles of radiating light composed of
the many hues of the rainbow, forming
q beautiful halo. Passing along Mr..
Lincoln noticed dark spot on the sur
face of the suns reflection, and was some
what startled to discover that it moved
across the circle in the direction he was
walking. Returning to the point where
the shadow came in the center Of the IL
Illuminated circle he began movements Of
the arms, and found that they were dis
tinctly initiated by the shadow which
appeared in the bank of fog mile away.
AS the sun rose higher the reflection sank
lower, and was finally lost in the waters
of the placid lake. Canton Telephone.
