Money for Pension Payments,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Secretary Win
dom is authority for the statement that the
growing treasury surplus cannot now be
used for tho purchase of four per cents for
the reason that it will be needed to meet
pension payments of the month, ageregat-
ing $2b,000,0OO. The available net cash
surplus is now $1s,O0O,0OO, but by contin-
ued excess of receipts over expenditures it
will probably reach the required amount by
the time indicated. The secretary says the
pension business Of the country will be i'm
proved by making these pension payments
monthly instead of quarterly and ne has
made recommendation to that effect. II
this is done he says it will do away with the
present necessity of keeping large sum of
money in the treasury vaults for three
months when it might just az we'll be in the
hands of the people entitled to it.

Secretary Schurz upon 33s desert land en-
tries made in 1877 in the Visalia, CAL. land
district, known as the Haggin and Cover
entries. j. b. Haggin's individual entry is
Cancelled because of timber growing thereon,
which removes it from the character of
desert lands. ALI the other entries are re-
manded for hearing. The effect of the de-
cisiOn will be to leave each entry to he dis
posed of on its own merits. The land in
volved is considered very valuable.

Df. WOolley, unlike a great many specialists,
treats what Is called the opium and whisky
habits as o disease, affirming that they are
strictly diseases, and nine times out of ten the
sufferers are not directly responsible for their
condition. The success he has had ion this line
has been something phenomenal. He has cured
patients in every state and territory ln the
Germany, Canada and Mexico.
Opium and whisky are two of the most power

The dreaded la grippe has been an
noyingly prevalent in this city for the
past two weeks. No fatalities have
yet occurred, but a number of people
are lying very sick. Advices from all
parts of the country indicate that the
visitation of the disease is not con
fined TO any particular locality, nor, so
far as observation goes, can its spread
be traced to any special causes. -It ap-
pears to be quite at home in places
where the temperature is high or low
or while there is rain or sunshine
Good nursing, with proper medical aid
for the sick, and greater care than
usual on the part Of well persons, are
the means of cure and prevention. II
is foolhardy to neglect all proper pre-
cautions. Physicians generally agree
in the belief that the disease is the
entering cause that leads TO many
other fatal diseases. That it leaves
the system shattered and peculiarly
susceptible TO other maladies is vel
established In view of the diseas,
people should exercise gread caution
in exposing themselves TO all condi
tions of weather It is the penalty
largely, of thoughtless exposure.

The anthracite coal trade has not i'm
proved within the past week. The
little new buying being done is on the
hand-to-mouth principle, and the pur-
chaser makes almost his own terms as
TO price. There it too much coal in the
market pressing for sale, and it is the
opinion of well informed shippers that,
unless there is inforced a greater re
striction OF the output, tho market will
become more demoralized at an early
date. The Eastern trade is very quiet,
but the producing companies have
plenty Of coal stocked at their distribut-
ing ports to supply any unexpected
demand that may arise from colder
weather. The Western markets show
no encouraging signs at present, but a
better condition is hoped for, and Jack
Frost is expected to come TO the rescue
before long.
