Army Women Pensions.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-Serator Davis
to-day introduced a bill providing pen
sioning rate of S25 month from March 4.
1889, of all women army nurses during the
late war, and all who rendered six months'
service in camp. field or general hos itals.
Women who now receive pension rate of
less than S25 shall have their pensions
increased to that amount The uill also
provides that those who now receive pen
Mons as widows or dependent mothers of
soldierS who would be entitled to the bene-
IT'S of the bill may also receive S25 a month
Eurlag life as an increase Of their present
provision.
The preparation of the urgent deficiency
appropriation bill has been begun by the
House committee on appropriations The
largest item of this deficiency bill
viii be about thirty-one million
five hundred thousand dollars on
account of pensions. This large
deficiency, however, does not indicate such
a great increase in expenditures for pen
Sions as would seem to be apparent on its
face, the statement Of expenditures for
the year ending July 1 next being, with
this deficiency appropriation included.
about ninety-seyen million dollars against
S95 600, 900 last year. After the appropria
ton for pensions for the present nscal year
had been made on the basis of tue re Zuiar
appropriation for the previous year it WAS
found necessary to make deficiency ap
preparation as the expenditures would ex-
coed the appropriation, and the commits
sioner of pensions waited until after the
present fiscal year now running for almost
seven million dollars to pay pension claims
accruing during the previous year. the
effect being really to lessen the appropria
ton for the present fiscal year by an
amount approXimating $1,000 600.

Champion Prevaricator Appleton.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dspatch.l
NRw YORK, Feb. 14.-Brotherhood base
balllsts were all quite broke up to-day
when they read that Danny Richardson
would probably fall a victim to Appleton's
wlles and ducats and join the National
league. Nick Engel and other of the boys
got together and chipped in to pay the tel
egraph tolls to send a message to Elmira,
asking Danny if it were true that he
would desert them. The nervous BOYS
were made happy an hour after when Nick
received this dispatch: 'sYou know me.
All reports false. / am as solid as rock. .,
Then the boys looked for Appleton, but
the manager couldn't be found. Never
theless he was voted the champion prevar-
icator and members of the Players league
drank many toasts in honor OF Danny
Richardson.

Cheering in the Commons.

LONDON, Feb, 14.-Amid the cheers of
the opposition IN the commons to day,
Parnell asked what sction the government
proposed to take upon 5he report of the
commission. Smith, government leader,
replied that the ministers had not had time
to decide upon course. The debate upon
the amendment was resumed. Parnell
moved an amendment asking the repeal of
the coercion act. He attacked the pettiness
OF the prosecutions which the government
daily inflicted upon many persons.
and the coercive act under Balfour
Almost every act of Balfour, Par
nell said, appeared directly toward
driving the people of Ireland to crime. The
league of to-day, Parnell declared, differed
widely from the Land league of 1880, and
Balfour could not plead as an excuse that
crime was being revived. On the contrary,
the people were quiescent in the expec5a-
ton of soon obtaining their rights. The
action of the government tended to it's own
defeat and could not succeed in turning the
tide of aspirations Of the Irish people
Webster. attorney general, charged Par
nell with making accusations against Bal
four without producing evidence to support
his allegations

The Conspiracy Against Old Hutch.

clerk who, it is alleged, aided in defrauding
the well known board of trade speculater,
3. +. Hutchinson out of several thousand
dollars by means of fictitious deals, re-
turned from Canada several days ago and
returned to his desk in Hutehinson's office.
Now it is stated that his partner Burt
King. who was employed by Broker Dick
lnson, Is also to return. The explanation
made Mr.. Dickinson is that he and Hutchi-
son satisfied themselves that the Young
men were only tools of a coterie of brokers
who conspired to defraud Hutchinson.
Hutchinson wants to get at these men and
therefore guaranteed the boys immunity
should they return and clear the matter up.
Sensational developments are expected.

A Trans-Guatamalan Railway.

CHICAGO, Feb. IA. M. Bannister, the
civil engineer who constructed line of
railroad from San Jose, Guatemala. to
Guatemala City in 1884, said this evening
he had advices from Central America to
the effect that line is soon to be COM
pleted from Guatemala City to Port Bar
rios, near the mouth of the Mataqua river.
This, he asserts, means that Guatemala
is to have line of railway
from ocean to ocean which may
seriously complicate the Nicara qua
and Panama canal projects. The trans
shipment of freight across the country
will save many days aud many miles in the
route from New York TO tue western
points of South America A steamship
line from Trampa, Fla, to Port Barrios
would shorten the distance still more. Ac-
cording to Bannister the eighty miles al
ready built cover the most difficult part of
the roadway.
