WASHINGTON. May ia delegation rep

fore the Ways and Means Committee this

bill to create sub-treasures In different parts
OF the country for tho reception OF staple crops
produced by farmers. The spokesman was c.
W. Macune Chairman OF the Legislative Com
mitteo OF the Alliance and editor OF the Ma

Jects OF the organization.
Mr.. Macune began his address by describing
the depressed state OF agriculture. which. he
said. was the prime cause of tho trouble in
other pursuits. II existing conditions con-
tinued. he warned tho committee that labor
would become desperate aud a great revou-

DISAGREEMENT ON Pensions.
Tho Senate Committee Refuses to Accept
the House Dependent Pension Bill.

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Davis
with thu unanimous concurrence OF the othe,
members Of the Senate Pensions Committee
submitted to-day report recommending that
the Senate do not agree TO the amendments
made by the House TO the Senate Dependent
Pension bill. The differences between the two
bodies are radical. and the members Of the
Senate committee announce their determine
ton not to agree 10 the House bill under any
conditions. The bill as 1t passed the Senate
was Identical with the Dependent Pension bill
vetoed by President Cleveland. The House
amended the bill by passing substitute
measure, the Morrill, bill. which Is both de-
pendent and service pension bill.
Senator Davis makes a long written report
upon the differences between the two Houses
that the beneficiary must be dependent upon
his daily labor, or upon the contributions Of
the House amendment makes reasonable all
persons who can bring themselves within it's
reIuiremsents irrespective Of their necunary
sion AT Sl2 and the House bill at So a month.
The senate Piii makes provision for dependent
amendment, The senate bill provides that
the DISABILITY shall not be tho result
OF vicious habits, this is omitted In the House
House bill s wholly inadequate. The ieport
says that the rate Of sl2 a month approaches
me minimum subsistence, While SS II
month undoubtedly falls TAR below 1t. and that
the House provision benefits those who do not
need pension, at the expense OF those who
are in absolute need: 1t Ia the opinion Of the
Senate committee that II IL tho duty OF tho
Government, before entering upon any other
pension legislation, 10 provide for the needs OF
the disabled and dependent soldiers in the
most liberal manner possible.
The report also SAYS tina. the service pension
is matter which should not be involved with
disability bill. Estimates prepared by Capt.
Afnsworth OF the AdJutant-General's office. the
report says show that the approximate aRgIe-
gate cost OF service pension upon a basis Of
32years as the age limit will be $l.ls2095. 525.
Upon q basis of 60 years the cost will be
1881, l09,S20. OF this amount $l.O79.6l7.024
must be paid before 1915. aud the average an
nual payment would be Sil ,523732. 1t is the
committees opinion that whenever il is deem
ed wise to inaugur8to system OF service PEN
sions. II should be done for the benefit OF all
living soldiers who are honorably discharged.
and that the rate OF pension should be graued
according 10 length OF service.
With regard TO the proposed repeal OF the
arrears act. the committee state that tho
Secretary OF the Interior estimates that it
would require S2l6.220: 200 to pay the claims
allowed between the date the arrears lmi-
tatlon went into effect and Jan. /, 1886:
and sass, AS 300 to pay arrears on all claims
still pending. These, estimates do not apply
to claims filed since The beginning OF 1889.

At ball given ut the residence of
Eyariste Iidline, in Upper Mammoutl,
on last Saturday, fearful tragedy took
place, resulting in the death of one man
and the serious wounding of another.
1t seems that Tim Landreneau and Ar
mand Devile had a difficulty, and pro-
ceeded outside to settle it. The pro-
prietor of the house walked out with a
lighted lamp, when suddenly some one
extinguished it and a general scrin-
mage followed. Adam Jacot Fontebot,
perceiving that two or three men were
beating Tim LaDdreneau, went to his
assistance when he was stabbed in the
thigh, from the effects of which he died
I'D fifteen minutes. A by-stander named
Chapman, who was not concerned in
the row. was stabbed in the back and
in the face.

curiosity did attend, but did not tarry
long, having no doubt taken in the stu

and purposes of the meeting. That is a
thrust at the Democratic party there
can he no doubt, and that it is an effort
OF some one to build up their political
hopes is equally true. We fear that
thls move means no good to the grand
old Dem ocratic party, and that at any
time it may lead to some side issue
which seems to be so attractive to some
The meeting was evidently failure
IN many respects. Many of our best c-

One day last week prominent anti
lotteryite made the statement that "the
commission merchants of New Orleans
were against the lottery, because that
institution was preparing to loan plan
tiers money at six per cent. interest,
thereby running the business of the
commission merchants. We suppose
that this will be used as an argument to
make the farmers vote against the lot

On last Saturday evening some sew.
enty-fve Or eighty persons met at the
Court House, the object being to or.
ganlze an anti-lottery league. The
meeting had been well advertised. rs
posters had been scattered broadcas,
announcing that all voters regardless
OF race or politics were invited to at-
tend. The meeting was presided over
by Mr. Geo. O. Elms.
Mr.. Thos. FL. Lewis, on behalf of a
committee, reported series Of resolu-
tions.
Addresses were then made by Messrs.
Thos. II. Lewis and Henry L. Garland.
Jr. The speakers were conservative.
After the speech-making had ended
Judge Lewis suggested that list be
opened to enroll tho names of those
who wished to join the league.
Messrs. J. j. Thompson, r. Nj. Littell,
Z. I. Lewis, T. s. Fohtenot and S. j.
Wilson were then elected delegates to
attend State convention to meet in
Baton Rouge on the 9th of August.
Considering the advertisement and
efforts that had been made this meeting
was rather a damper on those who
called it. Out of the small audience
present there were a goodly number OF
pro-lotteryites who had been drawn
there through curiosity.
