Breckenridge lKy.l expressed
himself in favor cf liberal pension
sys;ein, but WIS opposed 10 the abuse
OF that system ana opposed the max

political machine.
Grusvenor said the minority had
suddenly become wonderfully patri-
otto, aud fit could only destroy the
unuatriotic record il had always
made Il would be wonderfully bene-
fitted. The gentleman from New
York (SpinOlal had said that the
democratic party had run up the
pensions from SIS, 00c, GOO to $780,
GGl. 600. There was not dollar Of
that money that had been appropri-

or ever signed by n democratic

House.

MASHINGTOS, March i. - The
House went into committee Of the
whole on the pension appropriation
bill. Cheadle Ind spoke at length
in favor Of servire pension law.
he explained the provisions Of the
bill, authorizing n service pension
for life to every veteran over fifty
years Of age who served sixty days
and was honorably discharged. In
valid pensioners who receive less
than s. q month, and all who re-
ceive no pensions, will be beueficiar-
IS under IL
At the conclusion Of Cheadle's
speech Clements tGa.) said that
after listening TO the speeches OF the
gentlemen on the other side, he was
inclined to wonder why Commits
sioner Tanner had been requested 10
resign. The gentleman from Kan
sas Peters, had justified the action
Of Tanner in putting upon the PEN
slon rolls those who rendered good
service before they left the army,
without permission for increasing
the SO rate and rerating pensions.
Then why had Tanner been asked
to resign?
Morrow CCal.) said the question
could be- answered easily, bdt rs the
answer would involve going into tlfe
matter in detail he would refrain
from doing so at present.
Clements said the employment Of
thirty additional medical examiners,
and the increase in the employees Of
the Pension Bureau, indicated that
large increase in the amount OF
pensions must result, even
UNDER THE EXISTING LAWS.
He did not cppose Just the liberal
pensions. He was not going TO vote
against the pending bill. His one
objection to it was that it appropria-
TED less money than the administra-
ton knew would be necessary to
pay the pensions for the next year.
Bynum charged the republican
party with being false to IFS promises
TO the country in the matter Of
pensions. The democrats, he said,
were determined that the republi-
cars should carry out their pledges
to the solJiers,
spinoia raid the democrats pro-
posed to draw the line Of battle OF
the service pension bill. The demo-
Gratis did not intend that the repub-
icans should parade themselves as
the special friends OF the veterans.
The democratic party had forced the
pensiou rolls from $685. 900 up TO
SiO0, 400. Oal, and ~e. the republicans
went on the stump and told the
people that they were the friends Of
the men who saved the Union.
EulOe Tenn impressed upon the
House the necessity OF thoroughly
investigating the workings OF the
Pension Bureau.
Alien Miss. said that he did not
beiittle the service Of the Federal
soldiers. To 10 so would he to be-
little his own. He had been one Of
the men whom they had had 10
overcome. He had a high regarI
for the government. He was
mighty sorry lie had tried 10 break
it zap, but Il the gentlemen were go
ing 20 carry pension legislation to
its legitimate conclusion Congress
had better stop and have an ac-
counting. It looked 10 him as il the
country would have TO let the

HIS VERSION.
A SOLDIER FROM DAKOTA.
Who Details How Sitting Bull and
Red Cloud Were Killed-SomeR
New Light for Blanchard.

Some new light was thrown upon
Representative Blanchard's resolu-
tions in congress to investigate the
killing of Sitting Bull and Red Cloud +,
the noted Indian disturbers, by
Private Peter Blum, recently dis
charged U. 3. soldier, who arrived
this morning from Fort Meade, Da-
kota. Blum has been with the troops
who were sent in pursuit of Sitting
Bull. He was seen by LIGHT re-
porter at the shop Of Mr.. ]. Schuele,
with whom he is stopping. Mr..
Blum says there were four regiments
of cavalry and three of infantry in
readiness to take the field and
he was one of this COM
mand. In regard to the killing Of
of Sitting Bull, he said: ''Three days
before there were four Indian police,
two white scouts and two cavalrymen
out with their horses accommodating
the Indians position. They stopped
in little rdvine at q creek to water
their horses, when they were fred on
from ambush and white scout was
killed. The party returned to camp
and told the news. The other white
scout, two soldiers and the four Indi-
ans then left but had no orders. Three
days after, Sitting Bull was shot in
the breast by carbine ball, such as
scouts carry. The same day RedCloud
was assassinated in his 'tepee.' No
one knows who killed Sitting Bull or
Red Cloud, but these Indians and
white scouts are very clannish and 1T
is the opinion of the troops that the
white scout picked off Sitting Bull in
the open ground and an Indian scout
took still greater chan ces by creeping
into the Indian camp and killing Red
Cloud in his own tent. 1t was after
ward found that Sitting Bulls camp
was in the ravine where the scouts
were first fired upon"
Mr.. Blum was formerly assisting
Mr.. Schuele in putting up ice factor
les tor the government and is well
known to this gentleman for some
wears.

Farewell of Patti Rosa.

This little sketch is neither intended to
fiatter the little artist nor to delude the
San Antonio theater-gOing people in re-
gard to her real merits.
Miss Rosa was greeted last Thursday
night at the Grand Opera house in her
impersonation of Margery Daw, by very
crowded house. The gods were de-
lighted-yelled and stamped their feet,
the parquet laughed, clapped their hands
and shouted encores to some of her
best plumbers Ergo--Patti Rosa is i'm
menSe-made great hit and is sure of a
hearty welcome whenever she returns.
Rosa has been here before but neither her
artistic merits nor her professional faux
pas have ever beenucOmmented upon by
the press or by the public at large to my
knowledge.
From private chat with the eStimable
little lady, found, without divulging my
identity as newspaper man to her that
she has right to lay claim TO the title of
being a philosopher in her profession.
Emphatically she declared that she dis
dams TO cater TO the vulgar taste with the
object of swelling her treasury. Having
had good managers since her starring
career for the last five years it would
have been easy enough for her to do so.
but being a compassionate creature and
possessing a knowledge of human nature,
she followed the maxIm--that the stage IS
there 10 educate the people.
Rosa is out of her element in the plays
she appears now in. She possesses more
dramatic talent than she is aware of her
self. She is very young yet and another
five years of stage experience will
convince her of this fact. Her
greatest faults are mannerisms
In her pathetic passages, she is too gushing
in her hilarity-too eccentric. But she is
a true artist for all that, and little more
experience will be her best teacher. Patti
ROsa's strongholds are her musical num-
bers, and in 10 way could she have
brought them out in stronger light thar
through the assistance of her musical di-
rector and composer, Edward Phelps.
! have never met with man in his line
of business that is more conscientious
and works harder. The dramatic support
of Patti Rosa is everything that can be
desired. tn which the audience testified
In appreciation Of the harmonious feel
lug which exist between the members oil
the company, Miss Rosa Thursday nigh
rendered them a banquet at Mission Gar.
den in honor of Christmas day
Rheiner q Gaul excelled themselve'
and there was no end of praises of tn,
good things that were partaken of. Little
PATHS delight was IN looking on how he
people enjoyed themselves. Singing,
dramatic recitals. Dancing changed
round until the time for departure cam,
at o'clock. And now little Patti may
express the hope and with me gooC
many San Antonians that, this may no
be your last farewell M.
