PENSION ESTIMATES.


The Maximum Almost keachod-Tho APP
Precipitation to Be Asked For.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Nov. 2l.-There
appears to be more than usual interest
attached to the forthcoming annual re-
port of the commissioner of pensions
for the reason that the pension appro.
priation figures conspicuously in the
annual budget of the government. 1t
has been pretty well Understood for
some time past that the estimates for
next fiscal year would show large in
crease over any previous year,
The statements have been made that
the amounts required for pensions dur
ing the next fiscal year will nearly
reach the enormous sum OF 5000, 600 600.
The work of compiling the figures are,
however, sufficiently advanced to show
that this estimate is in excess Of the
actual requirement. Congress will be
asked to make an appropriation OF
about S1S0.0O0,OOO for the coming fiscal
year, about Sl9,000,000 Of which is an
anticipation OF an increase OF that
amount over the actual expenditures OF
the last year. 1t is the judgment OF
General Raum that while this amount
is likely to be increased for the next
year or two yet he feels confident that
the maxim UNI limits are nearly reached.

The Rush for Work by the Late Strikers
Tho Black Last.

Tho Black Last.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Nov. 2l.-The great
lockout which has been in progress for
nearly FIVE months came to an abrupt
termination yesterday morning when
the Amalgamation association decided
by vote Of Of to 10l to declare the
fight of.
OF course a grand rush was expected
for work in the mills this morning, and
such proved to be the case. AS early as
6 o'clock the rush began, and itkept the
police busy outside the mill Office hand
ling the crowd. By 8 o'clock the rush
was over, but will be kept up for days
to'come. A large number were turned
away, some with good prospects OF Sc
curing their old positions in the very
near future, while others were informed
that they would be given no work
under any situation. 1t is now plainly
evident that the black list is quite long
and those whose names appear on this
list will be compelled to seek work
elsewhere. The firm are inclined to
favor the old men as much as possible,
and there has already been large num-
Der of colored men discharged to mako
room for the old employees. The con-
dition OF the plant is such that repairs
will shortly have to be made, and the
old men have hopes that they will be
given their old positions after repairs
are completed,

Caused by tho smoke stack Mt the New
City JRI Building.
10 he Editor Of he intelligence.
Standing in front OF B. F. Cald-
Wells mantle store yesterday, l wanted
to know the time, and casting glance
east, where the city clock should be, l
found instead OF the old time reckoner,
pillar of smoke, dense, broad and high,
entirely excluding from view our city
time teller.
The smoke stack of the new Jail and
county building is a sad failure, except
as smoke nuisance. 1t should be
thirty-tive or forty feet higher. II it is
not possible to obtain natural gas to
supply the steam boilers, out city being
engaged in the Illuminating gas bust
ness, is large producer Of coke, and i
suggest that our Board of Commits
sioners and Board OF Public Works
unite these interests, which are mutual,
and adopt the use of coke for the pro-
duction OF steam in heating the county
and city buildings.
/ suggest one other plan as available,
viz: the use OF "smokeless furnace"
now made compulsory in great many
western and southern cities.
It would still be found necessary to
lengthen the present low stack to the
height named, otherwise the sui
phurous gases, SO destructive to metals,
will soon corrode and ruin our expen-
sive city clock.
Aside from damage to public property
in the injury to our city editice, there
is loud complaint by residents, east and
north, OF the annoyance this great dis
charge OF smoke has made along Eof
and Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets,
where some OF our best residences arc
located.
1t is sincerely hoped that the proper
authorities will take speedy steps for
the abatement Of this newly established
nuisance. JUSTICE

he did not believe in paying rent. He

A STRONG PnoBApIL1TY
That the Republican. VIII Control tn
Kansas Legislature.

That the Republicans Will Control the
Kansas Legislature.
CHICAGO, Nov. ola special from
Topeka, Kansas, says: The spectacle
of Democrat in the speakers chair OF
the Kansas legislature is not an inn
probability. There will be but one
Democrat in the body, and he will hold
the balance of power. It is semi-ofti.
cially announced here that he will
open headquarters in day or two, and
make the race for speaker. His name
is Joseph Rosenthal, and he is banker
at Santa Fe, Haskell county. A dicker
with the Republican bosses ia reported,
by the terms of which Rosenthal pro-
poses to help them organize the house.
BE thinks that the contest can be made
successfully. This would mean a Re-
publican successor to Senator Perkins.
Rosenthal opposed fusion.
Official returns show that the Kansas
legislature on the day OF its organizes
ton will stand as follows:
Senate-People's party 25; Republic
cans 10. House-Republicans 62; Peo-
pies party IS; Democrats 8; Indepen-
dent Republican Populist /.
It requires SO votes to organize the
house. The Republicans are one short
OF majority and the Populists five.
Three Democrats belong to the straight
Democratic faction and it is expected
they will act with the Republicans on
organization. II they do tho Republi.
can candidate for the tied districts will
be seated. This will give the Republic
cans majority Of eight in the house
and the Populists ten in the senate.
Several contests have been made by the
Republicans for the house, SO it is prob
able that the Republicans will have u
clear majority on joint ballot if they
succeed in organizing the house.

pG9ttIuh us - OSSAtbbA'N'
My DEAR GENERAI:-My recollections
OF the firing Of the first or signal gun on
Fort Sumter April u, 1851, are as fol-
lows:
negro oarsmen, with myself as your
aide-de-camp, were the principal means
of communication between you and the
forts on the island around Charleston
harbor, it fell to my lot, in company
with Senator James Chestnut and Cap
tain Stephen D. Lee, afterwards Lieu
tenant.G General, to take to Major Robert
Anderson, in command Of the United
States forces in Fort Sumter, your final
note for the demaud Of the surrender OF
the work, and your specific authority
for us to notify Major Anderson that
your guns would not open on him
II he would agree not to fire on the bat
teries, as on previous visit to Fort
Sumpter under flag OF truce he had
stated to us that he was about starved
out, General Roger A. Pryor, then on
a visit to Charleston, accompanied US.
After being detained in the guard room
OF the fort we notified Major Anderson
that we could not wait any longer for
his reply. He then came from the con.
sultation with his officers to the guard
room and stated to US that he would
not agree not to fire on our battery;
that his flag had been fred on twice
and If this was done again he would
open his batteries. This left US no
alternative but to carry out our in
structions, which were given to him in
the following words, which / believe
are exact:
FoRT SUMTER,
April u, 1861, 1920 q. m.
To Major Robert Anderson, Major:
We are directed by General Beaure-
gard to inform you that his batteries
will open fire on Fort Sumter in one
hour from this time.
[signedl JAMES CHESTNUT
This note was written by Stephen D.
Lee ut the dictation Of James Chestnut
and copied by me as dictated. Major
Anderson then said to US, Gentlemen,
| will await your fire."
He, then, with Captain Foster, &C.
companied US to the outside OF the sally
port, when we entered the boat and
proceeded to Fort Johnson, then in
command OF Captain George S. James,
who met us on the wharf, where we de-
livered to him Us per your instructions
the order to fire the signal gun. Cap
tain James, seeing General Pryor in
the boat, said to him, "Mr. Pryor, |
have always been q great admirer OF
yours and now offer you the honor OF
firing the first snot at Fort Sumter"
General Pryor felt tlattered but with
many thanks declined the offer. l
asked him why he did not accept it.
His reply was that it would not do for
him to fire that shot as his state had
not yet seeded.
James then said, ~ will not give that
privilege TO any other mar"
We rowed well out into the bay and
waited there until the shot was fred.
Its fuse burned brightly in the dawn
ing day Just one hour later than tho
dale Of our note to Major Anderson.
We then returned to Charleston, where
we found great excitement in the
streets. Very sincerely yours,
(Sipned) A. R. CHISHOLM.

before the holding of the primary
j. L. hahasy explained that the object
OF the central committee was to have al
the ward caucGses held at the same time,
SO as TO avoid any attempt at packing
the caucus In any ward with voters
from another. w. Phillips objected to
the holding of the caucuses on the 18th
because on that evening the Grand Army
OF the Republic posts have a very i'm
portant meeting, and the members could
not attend the caucus. 1t was finally de-
clced, on motion OF Charles 4. Fishback.
that the Eighth ward caucus be held at
80 O'Clock on the evening of the 18th,
and that 1t be recommended to the central
committee that it request the Republicans
OF other wards to hold their ward eau
cuses on the same evening.
