was choking and clenching his fists.
"And he d killed otter and was drying
his skin for you. He said you were
pretty nice boy
Cecil laughed. He meant no harm by
the laugh; only Cobbs' compliment
sounded 80 limited, and in Ally's tloleful
voice so funny; and tthe very fact that
the words before had touched him made
the laugh come more easily. Yet it was
in his heart to clap Ally on the shoulder
and say: "Never mind, Ally, didn't
mean anything. 1 think Cobbs Is q
mighty nice man, as you call it. - In
deed, his hand was lifted and s'Never"
shaped itsslf on his lips-but it was not
said.
Quick as thought Ally wheeled and
struck Cecil q singing blow in the face.
Cecil lifted his fists.
Ally's arms dropped at his sides. de
made no effort to strike another blow.
His face flushed darker, more painful
red.
~ had no right to do that, he said,
in q suffocated kind of voice, 'snot when
you were visiting me. You can strike
me If you like; won g hit back. -
al don't want TO strike you, - said
Cecil, scornfully. 81 don t want to ever
have anything more to do with you. -
He turned on his heel and was walking
away. -
''whst are you going to 'so7" said
Ally. Ses

"That's quite enough said Cecil
shortly "don 'trlet's say anything more
about it. Ism Il it about time for our
horses to come?F
"There IS Vance bringing them, now. +"
said Ally in very subdued tone.
Vance's grin, indeed, was bobbing up
and down on Ally's own grey while he
led the horse that Cecil commonly rode.
When the lads were about to mount
Ally said: you d better ride 'Rasmus, -
(the grey ''he's a heap the best
jumper. -
Cecil declined very briefly.
"Aren It you going to leave some word
with your sister, SAID he as they settled
themselves in the saddle and gathered up
the reins.
'Inoonsiderare cub. - he thought. He
liked to call Andy a cub in his thoughts.
1t made him feel the more superior.
Cub was an expression which nobody
could apply to polite, perfectly dressed
Cecil.

''say, Vance, tell Miss Sally we won t

Then the boys galloped away, while
Vance soliloquized: claws, amt it

But am sure no one who saw the two

RERATED MEN MUST GO.
Commissioner Raum Says Too Much
Leniency Has Been Shown Them.

Gen. Raum. the commissioner OF pensions
in talking today about the removal of Mr..
Phillips a chief of division, said that he told
Mr.. Phillips several weeks ago that he could
not be permitted to retain his position. :.while
1 believe" continued Gen. Raum, '.that old
soldiers should receive every cent of pen
sion that the law allows, yet
do not think it is right for men
in this Office to take advantage of their posi-
ton to press their own cases. while there are
thousands Of cases of men who have never re-
ceived pension awaiting adjudication. That
is the injustice in many of these rerated pen-
sion Of employees OF the Office Too
much leniency has already been shownlto those
men. They have drawn large sums of money
from the Treasury in this way, and naturally
they are not going to resign until they are
cases be taken as promptly as possible"
LEGAL QUESTION.
Gen. Raum said that Attorney General
Shields was considering the question of the re-
eovery Of the money paid to these men. He
said that there we're difiulties in the way.
There was q decision that had been made an
far back as the year 1887, which held that
in case where money was paid to
pensioner through an error that it
must be treated az a debt and collected the
same as other debts. II this decision was ad-
hered to it would be necessary to begin suit
against the pensioners for the collection of
debt and this might not prove to be effective
i'll Receiving the money, as il might in some
cases be placed beyond the reach of execution

Charged That a Canadian Editor Was
Heard by Republican Senators Only.

TORONTO, ONT. Jan. 2L-The Globe today
publishes the following sensational special
from Washington: Interest in Canadian
matters was good deal excited here last week
by a visit from one OF the editors Of the Toronto
Empire, Dominion government organ, appar-
emily sent here specially to investigate whether
or not the editor Of the Toronto Mail had been
propagating annexation sentiments in the minds
OF the Hoar committee in order to indnce them
to report adversely to intimate trade rela-
tons, because such relations would postpone
political union. The Empire man interviewed
several Senators on the committee ON Canadian
relations and much to the surprise OF the dem
ocratic members they learned the fact that Ed
ward Farrer, editor of the Mail, bad
been before the republican members in secret
session and that the Information thus received
which does not form any part of the record,
has not been conveyed to the democratic
members. Considerable feeling has been
eDgendered between the two sections of the
committee in consequence. The representa-
tive of the Empire satisfied himself that the
republican members had been greatly infiu-
euced by the representations from the Mail

THE GRIM GRIP.
The Death Record at the Health Office
Pneumonia and Lung Troubles.


During the sixty hours ending at 2 o'clock
today 81 deaths were reported to the health
office. Only IS were reported in the last
twenty-fohr hours. OF the 81 deaths men,
toned II were from pneumonia three
occurring in the past twenty-four hours;
5 from bronchitis. 4 from CONGESTION of
lungs, four from consumption. In two cases
the grip was given as the cause of death and
in one the cause was stated, "la grippe-pneu-
monia." The figures of yesterday showed that
over fifty per cent of the deaths we're caused
by lung diseases, but within the past twenty
four hours the deaths have fallen off one third,
but including consumption the percentage of
lung disease remains about the same.
ANOTHER VICTIM.
Mr.. Andrew Sprohs, the well known restau-
rant keeper on C street near 9th, died this
morning after a short illness OF pneumonia
following an attack of grip. Mr.. Sprohs was
over fifty years of age and came here about
1862 and for some years was news agent fol-
lowing the army.
INCREASING FATALITY OF LUNG DISEASES.
Forty-three deaths were reported to the
health Office during the forty eight hours end
ing at o'clock.
THE CITY POST OFFICE.
The grip no longer reigns supreme at the
city post Office, and its power is evidently
broken. Clerks and carriers are rapidly get
on schedule time. Yesterday affairs were in
better state than they had been for several
weeks before, and today there is q marked inn
provement over yesterday.
Capt. Rosseli is still confined to his home
with a bad case Of the grip.

THE EMIGRATION QUESTION.
Baptist Ministers Meet and Adopt Reso.
lutions.

At well attended meeting held in the Zion
Baptist church (coloredD yesterday afternoon
the question OF African emigration came up for
discussion. Rev. DIR. II. c. Robinson Of the
First church was called to tl& chair and r. S.
Laws chosen as secretary.
Rev. Dr. Laws said that this movement by
southern Senators was an attempt 10 intImidate
colored ministers 10 Withdraw their petition for
an appropriation of so. 600 900. in order 10 keep
the race helpless and DISTINGUISHED in the south.
The Rev. DIR. G. W. Lee said that the 5000 600
OF colored citizens in this country. of which
the one million and half of BaptIsts form q
part would ask no appropriation to escape
from the country OF their birth or appeal TO
mercy, but refer to 1.-The methods Of slavery in
the past and the political duplicity Of the pres
ent, which "have left the white citizens In an
united condition TO be capable of legislation
for Christian nation" The petition OF the
National Baptist association recommending an
appropriation of $4,000, 900 for the removal
and settlement of such of our race as might de-
sire to emigrate 10 other parts Of ours or TO
some other lands" is Endorsed. Remarks were
made by Prof. W. II. Scott, Rev. VIM j. How
ard, Dr. VIM. II. Phillips. DIR. Lee. Rev. VIM
Gray, ID, of Illinois and others. A preamble
and resolutions framed by Rev. DR. Laws were
adopted. They set forth that I'VE are no more
responsible for the births of our forefathers in
Africa than the above-named Senators and their
people are for the births Of their forefathers In
Europe"

An Amendment Suggested in Cohse-
Quencc Of q Recent Decision,


Some time ago. as stated In The SrAR&t the
time, Mr.. John Hoffman applied for pehmit
to repair some rame dwellings in square 724.
As is customary in such cases the building
insp ecsor sent his assistant, Mr.. Holmes, to
report upon the CASE The regulations say
that where q frame house has been damaged by
fire or otherwise to tie extent Of one-half
its value it cannot be repaired. As Mr.. Holmes
reI orted tn 1t such was the case in the houses
above mentioned the inspector Of buildings
refused the permit. Subsequently, however,
he sent another assistant upon the request Of
Mr.. Holtzman to look into the matter, but his
report was just the same as the former assist
ants.
Under the building regulations; when one is
dissatisfied with the action Of the building in
spector, he may appeal to a committee COM
posed OF one architect and two master builders
who shall examine into the cause of the diff
Guilty and report thereon. This Mr.. Hoffman
did, but the committee stood by the building
regulations and supported the building in
spector.
DECISION OF THE COURT.
Mr.. Hoffman again appealed the case and
went into court and asked that an injunction be
issued against the Commissioners preventing
them from obstructing him in the repair OF his
property The court granted the injunction,
claiming that the building regulations had
not been complied with, inasmuch as the in
spector of buildings had not made personal
examination Of the premises, as required.
The injunction was granted without preju-
dice to the case-in other words, should the
law of examination be fully complied with, the
court would sustain the action Of the inspector
Of buildings in having old and dilapidated frame
dwellings, removed from within the fire limits.
LETTER FROM THE BUILDING INSPECTOR.
n n tn ba ,iooip
building inspector has requested the Commits
sioners to SO amend the regulations as to en-
power his assistant to perform this and other
duties in his line as occasion may require.
The Commissioners will make the desired
change.

will develop shooting intere SITS in both coun-
