CAROLINA coNFEpERArEs.
A General Demand Upon the State for
Increased Pensions.

Increased Pensions.
CHARLESTON, s. c., April 19.-The Con
federate veterans in this state want big
ger pensions. For the past two years
the state has paid pension of $5 a
month to disabled soldiers or their in
digent widows. This costs the state
about SOC, 900 year. The following ad-
dress is now in circulation through the
various counties, and will, it is thought
have its effect upon the nomination of
candidates for the legislature.
To the Disabled ex-Confederate Soldiers of
South Carolina:
The pitiful, shameful and utterly dis
graceful neglect by our legislature is enough
to excite the wrath and disgust not only of
yourselves but of every good and true man
in the state Now say TO you, assemble,
after due notice, at your respective county
seats on the first Monday in June next
and act on the following or similar resolu-
tions:
First-Thab you will nominate one of
your number who is best fitted to advocate
your claims before the coming legislatures
who will ask that the state will grant an
annual appropriation OF $3.50 to every ex-
Confederate soldier of the state who lost an
arm or leg.
Second-That it grant to each disabled
soldier the sum of 500 annually.
Third-That we will not support any can
didate for the legislature who is not heartily
in sympathy with the resolution.
We assert that the plea that the state is
unable to provide as above is untrue It
never was and still less so now Is there
southern state that has not done more for
its disabled soldiers Is there one that has
made such rapid and increased progress in
the number of its railroads, phosphate and
other manufactures From the present
outlook within a very few years these
sources will reduce our taxes so they will
be as moderate as those of any state in the
Union

YANKEE PORK.
Germany May Yet Decide TO Allow IL s
Come In.

=
Come In.
LONDON, April 19.-Emperor William
has expressed his strong desire that the
prohibitive restrictions placed upon the
importation of foreign pork into Ger.
many be removed. A movement of this
kind would meet with popular ap-
proval.
Owing to the action of the German
government since the appointment of
Gen. Won Caprivi to the chancellorship
in depriving several of the leading Ger
man newspapers of the official character
they formerly enjoyed, those journals
have Joined in an aggressive campaign
in opposition to the new administration.
This movement, 1t is understood, was
instigated by Count Herbert Bismarck
and is being conducted under his direc-
ton.

LONDON, April 19.-There is rumor
that on Stanlsy's return to England he
will again become British subject, re-
suming his nationality, which he relin-
quished twenty-five years ago In Amer
lea. 1t is stated that the queen is
anxious to confer high honors on him,
which would be impossible unless he
again became o British subject. II is
probable that Stanley will be appointed
TO governorship in Africa, but not of
Congo It is considered now likely that
some territory in British East Africa will
be selected for him.

The Doctrine Too Sweeping, and They
Think 1t Would Be Unwise for So Pow
erful Government to Tie Itself Up So
Securely-The Congress May Not Ad-
journ Sine Die for Several Days.
NEW Yo2T, April Ia The Hcrald's
Washington correspondent telegraphs
that the Pan American congress will not
be able to adjourn sine die for seyeral
days to come. Consequently the pro-
posed southern trip is in allegiance until
the unfinished business Is finally dis
posed of. There is good deal of oppo-
lion to the adoption of the supplement
tary report Of the committee on general
welfare, which declares;
First-That the principle of conquest
shall never hereafter be recognized as
admissible under American law.
Second-That all cessions of territory
made subsequent to the present declara-
tlons shall be absolutely void, if made
under threat of war or the presence of
an armed force.
Third-Any nation from which such
cession shall have been exacted may al
ways demand that the question of the
validity of the cessions so made shall be
submitted to arbitration.
Fourth-Acy remuneration of the right
to have recourse to arbitration shall be
null and void, whatever the time. cir
cumstances and conditions under which
such renunciations shall have been
made.
Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1890-04-19

The representatives of the United
States would never consent, it is said, to
so sweeping a doctrine, for they think it
would be unwise for SO powerful gov
ernment to tie itself up so completely.

ron THEIR LIVES.

DesastrO Fire in a New Britain
block of Tenements - a Man and
Woman Jump From the Third
Story-The MAN Seriously Injured
women and Children Escape by
Means OF Ropes and Ladders-Total
Loss About 100000.
New BRITAIN, Dec. 28.-One Of the most
disastrous fires in the history Of this city
occurred this morning, causing the complete
destruction of an entire block of tenements
and entailing loss of abodg s60, 900.
The fire originated in the barber shop
of J. O'Brien, situated in the basement of
the building owned by Steele & Damon.
1t started in the bath room connected with
the barber shop and was caused, it is sup
posed, by the explosion of a kerosene
lamp. In short time, and prior to the
arrival of the fire department., the whole
building was in flames. The first floor
was occupied by stores, and the upper
floors as tenements.
The building was brick business and
tenement block, and was owned by w. T..
Damon of this city and David Steele, con-
tractor at j. B. Sargent's, New Haven.
The fire made such rapid progress that
the tenants were barely able to escape with
their lives and such clothing as they wore
at the time of the fire. ALI, however, for
| tunately escaped.
One Of the tenements had but recently
been rented by man named Albert Nc
| Intyre and wife, both of whom had ar
rived presumably from Providence but a
day or two ago. Mcintyre was agent for
a sewing machine company and had come
| to this city to engage in business here.
During the progress of the fire both he and
his wife jumped from the third-story win
| dow in order to escape the flames. McIn-
tyre, who is about forty-fve years Of age,
sustained severe internal injuries in addi-
ton to having his arms and legs broken.
His recovery is considered extremely
doubtful His wife is but slightly in
| injured, few scratches and bruises being
the sum total of her injuries. Many of the
women and children were taken from the
windows of the blazing building by means
of ropes and ladders.
The fire was got under control after q
| stubborn fight about 80 pm. The block
was a total wreck, the three walls alone
standing, the front wall facing Church
street, having fallen into the street during
the early stage of the confagration.
The loss will amount to between $50, 000
| and SIS, 900, which is only partially GOV.
| vered by insurance amounting to SIG, 900.
Some Of the individual losses are as fol
l 1oxuc.

REPUBLICAN CoMmIssIoNERs.

The Caucus of the Common COun-
ell to be Held Tonight.
Talk among the politicians just now
centers upon the caucus of the republican
members of the common council which is
to be held tonight. 1t is the general
opinion that the present commissioners
upon the three executive boards of the mu-
nicipal government will be re-nominated.
John w. Kenny of the Second ward is the
only candidate who has seriously ques.
toned Major Todd's reelection to the
board of public works, but it is consider
ed his chances are small. Ex-Alderman
Gessner and John 81. P1att have beer
mentioned for the police board, but it il
Thought Commissioner Baldwin will cap
ture the plum. President Farnam of the
board of fire commissioners has declined
to stand as candidate for a renomina
ton, and those now in the field for his
place are Allen D. Baldwin of the Tenth
ward, Loren n. Stannard of the Fifth, and
dark horse whom the Ninth ward dele
cation is booming.
The democrats have majority in both
boards and will probably elect their presi-
dent. Aldermen Beers and Prince arr
mentioned for the republican choice fol
president of the aldermen and Council
men Wells and Blakeslee for q like posi-
ton in the council Corporation Counsel
Townsend is pressed hard by Alderman G.
8. Hamilton for the nomination for cor
