Invalid Pension Matters.

Special to the Gazette.
3 WASHINGTON, May 15.--Mr. Morrill, +,
chairman of the house committee on in
valid pensions and author of the house
bill, said to your correspondent to-day
that it would be absolutely neoes sary for
the party to agree on the pension ques-
ton and pass the bill this session. but
he did not see how it could be done
He said the senate measure put a pre-
MUM on indolenc9 and shift tlessness, and
was tempt alton TO perjury. A feeble
but Independent veteran who was strug-
Cling to support himself, he said, could
not get the benefit of pension, while q
man far better able to work could claim
a reward for shiftlessness. The poor but
energetic veteran would have to cease
his efforts at self-support, or take a false
oath in order to get his pension
under the senate bill. The
senate bill is practically the same as the
one vetoed by Cleveland for some such
defects as those pointed out by Morrill,.
sRTIE KEY WEST CIGAR MANUFACTURERS
have representatives here to watch the
progress of the tariff debate in the house.
They are still vigorously protesting
against the proviso in the first
paragraph of the tobacco sched-
ule in the Mckinley bill, which
classes as wrapp er leaf every bale of i'm
ported tobacco that contains any ma
'terial whatever suitable for cigar wrap
pers. The duty on wrapper leaf is 50
a pound, whereas on cheaper grades,
such as are used for filters, 1t is only
thirty-five cents. The Key West people
are willing TO have the bill so modified
as to authorize the collector if he finds
as much as 10 per cent. wrapper
mAterial in bale of filler to- levy
5h5gher duty on all wrapper leaf found in
the bale. The way tobacco is put up in
Cuba for shipment in this country would,
according to the united testimony of the
collectors at Key West, Tampa and New
York, the three ports into which most
of the Havana tobacco is taken, force
them to pay full wrapper duty
on every bale of any kind that they i'm
port. Since there are probably no filler
bales into which at least leaf or two
has not slipped which could be used for
wrappers for small cigars, members of
the committee and treasury officials who
have been consulted on the subject all
agree that the only object of the
proviso was to check frauds praoticed
upon the revenue by importing wrapping
leaf in filler bales. The whole drive at
the wrapper leaf anyway is made for the
purpose of shutting out the Sumatra inn
port, which is so largely used for wrap
ping cigars manufactured In the North
ern states. But Mckinley and his little
coterie on the committee seem unable to
see that their laundering provlso is likely
to destroy one of the most fiourishing
branches of manufactures in the United
States, and one of the established indus
tries which they have pledged them
selves in so many windy utterances to
tsprotect -

The Delegates Have Gathered and Are Ready
for Businsss-A Grand Street Parade.
Special to the Gazette.
PALESTINE, TEX, May 15.-For the
first time in her history it becomes the
proud duty of this city to entertain the
state f1remen in annual convention. A
heavy rain fell here Tuesday and it
was feared that we would have wet
time of it, but this morning dswnsd
bright and clear, and every citizen started
on the duty of giving the honorsd visitors
a good time. Two hundred delegates
from all the principal cities are in at
tendance. A grand parade was formed
and the line of march taken up at
10 a. m. with the famous Houston Light
Guard band leading. Next followed the
D1Hey Rifles in truly martial style, then
followed Union and Confederate veter-
aus, handsomely decorated trucks, car
riages, etc., and finally the visitors,
making in all a line extending over
a mile long and very pleasing parade,
rejecting credit alike on our town and
visitors.
All participating in the parade assem-
bled in our opera hall and services were
opened with a prayer by Rev. DR..
Crozier. Addressesof welcome was made
by his honor, Mayor Ward, on behalf of
the city; Sam Houston on behalf
of the press, and Ector L. Cannon on
behalf of the firemen. Response WAS
made by President Livey in truly elo-
quent style, after which the convention
adjourned. -.
At night an entertainment was given
the fremen at the opera house by our
local talent. The prominent features
were the trades drill by forty school
girls, the statute drill by twelve young
ladies and songs by Miss frankie Saw
yers.
The town is profusely decorated, and
everybody is happy. Several delegations
were delayed on account of washouts and
high water, but all are expected here in
due time tomorrow. An interest,"
esting programme has been ar
ranged for each day during this
week and we hope TO please our visitors.
The Dillsy rifles Will give an exhibition
drill Thursday evening, after which
grand banquet will be given the firemen
at the opera house.

national lecturer of the organiza-
ton, taking up the argument. He
quoted President Lincoln's proph-
ecy that corporations would be
enthroned, that the property of the
country would be concentrated aud that
the republic itself would be overthrowu
Thank God, the last prediction had not
been fulfilled, but the others had
been. One twentieth of the peo-
pie of this country owned three flfths
of the property. He also quoted
Garfield, Jefferson and Calhoun, and
said that what they had recommended was
just what the Alliance want ted. If con-
gress refused to approve the sub-treasury
plan, then let il remove the restrictions,
hedging in the national banking system.
The farmers would care nothing about
trusts and combination and the ooucen-
tration of money if they could hold their
crop in sub-treasuries, and were not
compelled, as at present, to sell them at
stated times in October, in the
South. He could thus escape
the speculator. 1t would be
a godsend to this country to
pass the sub treasury bill for the reason
that there would not be bucket shop
left in the United States. The day of
speculation in crops would be done away
with, and the producer and consumer
would be brought together. 1t had
been charged that the farmers would
form a trust, but this was against
the farmers nature. Sixteen millions
would build all the warehouses the AL
lance wanted. What good were the
river and harbor improvements TO the
debt-ridden, oppressed farmer? Never
more than a third of the cotton crop
would be warehOused. When the GER
tificstes issued on that crop came
in, they would meet the needs of the
wheat crop and then the tobacco crop
and so on. There would not be excessive
changes in the volume of currency. III
conclusion, he said that if the COM
mittee thought that landed leases
was best, If they could not accept
the basis, let them put it in
the bill. Do something to relieve the
farmer. Report the bill to the house in
some shape so that it could be acted
upon. Dom make it a question of tariff
or of politics, but let the bill stand on its
merits

Special to the Gazette.
LONDON, May l5.-Mr. Gladstone has
written letter in explanation of his re-
marks on the Chinese question on the.oc-
casion of his presentation of an address
to Thomas Bailey Potter at the Golden
club on Monday last when he
criticised the anti-Chinese laws
in operation in the United States, and
declared Chinese were more dreaded for
their virtues than their vices. The Lib
eral leader says that he did not mean to
be understood as favoring unlimited
Chinese immigration, but that IN
limited numbers they are no
more harmful than other races
or classes He admits that legislation
restricting the number of Chinese to be
annually landed is necessary, bEt con-
dennis the policy OF wholly closing the
ports to people of one nationality while
leaving them open to others no more de-
sirable as citizens.
HE AIDED EvICTED TENANTS.
Professor Harrison, who was elected to
parliament TODAY for the middle divi-
sion of Tipperary, is the 81 anne gentleman
who was arrested and committed to Lon
donderry jail year ago
on charge of assisting evicted
tenants. His offense consisted
in his having provided food for starving
evictees from the Gweedore estate of
Capt. Olphert, who were furnishing by
the roadside. While engaged in this
work, in which he was aided by several
others, sergeant of police came
along with q posse of men and
ordered him to desist. Harrison
refused to go, and was arrested. Pro-
fessor Harrison is an Oxford graduate,
an able politician and fluent debater.
APooR PEOPLE BANK.
Gen. Booth, commander-in-ch chief of
the Salvation Army, has opened a bank
for the benefit of the poor whose deposits
would not be received by ordinary
banking institutions owing to the
smallness of the sums rendered.
He explained that his object is not TO
make money except for those who trans
act business with the bank.
SPINNING MILLS BURNED.
Immense spinning mills at Lodge, near
Warsaw in Russian Poland, were burned
to the ground to-day, entailing upon
the owners a loss of 1, 900 900 roubles.
The mill employed upwards of 1000
hands, and those will be thrown out of
work for several months.
SPECTATORS UNEASY.
The life term proposed in Mexico for
President Diaz is commented on with
considerable favor by Conserva-
tive journals as showing that
Spanish Americans are not able to
bear the strain of republican institutions.
Mexican securities, however, do not
seem to have shared in the optimistic
view of dictatorship for that republic,
aud investors are uneasy over the pros
poet Of revolution.

DALLAS, TEX, May 15.-Hon. E. c.
Heath, the Prohibition nominee for gov
ernor, and Ex-Governor John P. st.
John of Kansas, spoke here tonight at
the opera house 10 large audience.
Heath's speech consisted simply in the
announcement that he had accepted the
nomination rendered him and would
make q canvass of the state.
Governor St. John delivered one of his
forcible and characteristic addresses.
He scored the liquor men and denounced
the traffic in foroible language. He
arraigned weak-kneed tipping church
members and declared that prohibition
enforced it among her membership AMI
Christians ceased casting their votes for
license and saloons. He referred in
scathing terms to the fact that the vice.
president of the United States had gone
into the saloon business, and that the
president of the United States gave
feasts with five wine glasses at
the plate of each guest, four more
than there were at BelshazZar's feast.
He closed with an appeal to Christian
men to do their duty to themselves and
God by voting for prohibition, even
Enough by so voting they should have to
vote against both the Democratic and
parties and with minority.

VIII be Returned to China.

WASHINGTON, May l5.-As result of
the correspondence between the depart
ment of justice and the treasury depart
ment 1t has been decided TO send back to
China the twenty-one Cinnamon who
were struggled into this country from
Mexico, and who are now in
custody at San Diego, Cal. They
will be transferred to San Francisco aud
placed on the first steamer sailing for
China. This action is taken on the
theory that it is cheaper and better for
the government to bear the expense of
their return to China than to send them
back to Mexico and run the chances of
having to rearrest them and send them
back indefinitely.

A Holyhead Harbor Scheme.

Special to the Gazette
LIVERPOOL, May ia special meet
ing of the Holyhead local board has been
held to consider what steps should be
taken with regard to the offer of the
London and Northwestern railroad COM
pany to remove the platter rocks in the
Holyhead harbor. The company offers
to spend half million sterling to re-
move the rocks twenty-five feet below
low water mark, and also to build q
deep water quay. A portion Of the har-
Dor is at present worthless on account of
the presence Of the rocks. There is q
great opposition in Liverpool to the
scheme, as should it be carried out Holy
head will most probably be made the
port for Atlantic steamers, and the re-
suit will be saving OF ten hours to both
passenger and mail service. Large At
lantic steamship companies are undoubt-
eddy in favor of the movement, and
resolution has been passed asking the
government to accept the offer, also
pointing out the natural advantages of
HolyheRd.

a Serious Gap.
Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, May I5.-The general
pension legislation of the session must
now depend upon an agreement in con-
ference. There Is a difference of
opinion as TO how serious the dead
lock between the house and senate is,
and some believe that it may endanger
the passage of any bill at this session,
but the general impression is that there
must be some sort of a general pension
bill passed into a law at this session
and that an agreement must be reached.
The differences between the two houses
are radical and both seem to be deter
mined, and so it is difficult to Judge
what is to be the outcome.
THEY DID FRY.
1t has been said by several papers that
Mr.. Mills, in speech in the house the
other day, denied or repudiated the as
sertion that has been so often made
that the Republicans "fried the fat
out of the manufacturers during the
last campaign, and Mr.. Mills said that
he had never denied that the representa-
tives did "fat frying" What he SAID
was that he did not believe any of the
gentlemen of the committee had been
improperly approached. The 'fat fry
ing'' talk grew out of the famous Frost
letter, and what he said on the
floor had nothing to do with that subject.
GRANTED RIGHT oF-wAY.
The senate to-day passed the bill grant,
ing the right-of- to the Texarkaua
and Fort Smith railway company through

provisions of which have already been

ern district of Arkansas, has also been

Bryant will be confirmed, but informa-
ton from other sources is not
so encouraging. The case is being
thoroughly considered, and the feeling
still prevails that Bryant's political al
legiance and re cord is not firm enough to
carry him thro ugh. He is also said to
have been in til q employ of the Southern
Pkcific railroad as an attorney, and for
Coils P. Huntington. The matter of
shls confirmation is still enc of grave
doubt.

a Theme of Discussion Among Catholics;
LONDON, May l5.-The threatened
PRONUNCIATION by the pope of the dogma,
that temporal power of the pontiff, of
which the church was deprived py the
advent of Victor Emanuel INTO Rome in
1870, is essential to complete the majesty
of the vice-regent of Christ on earth,
and is theme of general discussion in
Catholic circles on the continent. A de-
cision of s;xty-slx of the hundred bishops
whose views of matters were solicited by
the pope, that the present time is oppor-
tune for the declaration of this principle
evinces positive swerving of popular
opinion, for it is not to be presumed that
these prelates have all or even con-
siderable minority of them, contrary to
.the known tendencies of their tiocks.
