PENSIONS TO ALIENS
Representative Newberry Intro
duces a Bill to Cut Them Off.
Many Soldiers Of Fortune Living in Luxury
in Europe on Money Paid Them
by the United States

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The bill intro
duced by Representative Newberry, of
Illinois. cutting off pensions to foreigners
and non-residents of the United States, is
becoming subject of great international
interest. The dispatches state that in one
province of Canada alone over thirteen
hundred people will be affected by the pro-
posed legislation, and General Newberry
himself estimates the foreign benefciaries
of the pension laws aggregate at least
$4,000. In an interview Genera Newberry
said: "After the war foreigners who had
come here as soldiers Of fortune took ad-
vantage of our liberal pension laws and
returned to their native country, where
they have ever since lived, rearing families
on money paid them by the United States.
1t is not, nor was it ever, their purpose
to return to this country; nor do their sons
acknowledge allegiance to the United
States. The pensioner himself takes ad-
vantage of his position to absolve b mself
from duties to his home government and
lives in ease and luxury on the bounty of
the United States. He is source of an
noyance to our consuls abroad, demanding
protection under our flag from the duties
owing to his own government There are
several thousand such pensioners living in
the kingdom of Wurtemburg Germany,
and our minister to Turkey says they are
scattered all over eastern Asia and western
Europe. We know many are living in
Great Britain and Canada"

studHing Coneland,s Nova

Especial to The HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.1
CAMBRIDGE, Feb. 9.--Prof. Pickering. of
observatory, and his assistants
have been devoting themselves to ths
study of the spectrum of the new star
"Copeland's nova" and will continue to do
so for weeks to come as the weather will
permit. 1t will be some time before auy
statement will be made as to the result of
the examination. Prof. Pickering told
your correspondent to-day that the spec
trum was unique, presenting many features
never combined before. He reiterated the
statement that the hydrogen lines are dark,
with bright edges toward the end. The first
photograph of the spectrum gave an ap-
pearance Of duplicity, and if that was 50
the inference would be that she had been in
collision with a star or some other heavenly
body. But later photographs do not show
those features, so the first inference is in
correct. But Prof. Pickering finds tho
study of this particular spectrum Of un,
usual interest, and he is providing against
any future obstacle to his investigation
when the star shall have grown dim, pre-
paratory to its disappearance, by taking
short spectrum as well as the longer one
which he is utilizing. With the fading of
light the spectrum will grow shorter and
cannot be used to advantage in comparison
with the component parts of the longeI
spectrum now obtained. So the short part
of the spectrum, which win be obtained &
few weeks later, will be Of value to COM
pleting the analysis on which the astrono-
mers are now at work.

'Mr. BIaine's withdrawal, like his nom

tie if any influence on the election. The
personality OF candidates will be over
Swallowed by the importance of the
question to be decided. Personalities,
which assumed such Importance in 1854,
are not likely to recur in this generation,
and especially in a campaign when the
question to be decided is whether our re-
public is to attain greater freedom of trade
with the rest of the world, or to
maintain and strengthen the barriers
which are producing our commercial 1sola-
ton. President Harrison doubtless will
be renominated and receive the support of
those who favor an exclusive home market
exempt from the disturbance of honest
competition

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 9. - Ex-Governor
Thayer. of Nebraska, and party were in
this city this morning en- route to Texas
The ex-governor told reporter about his
meeting with Governor Boyd yesterday
"Wheu Governor Boyd entered by Office"
said he, 81 approached hiu and extended
my hand. He did not offer to take it, and l
inquired of him, Am l understand, sir,
that you decline to shake hands with meg
He replied that l might so understand.
Wei, SIR l said, 4 want you to under
stand this is a matter of entire indifference
to me-"
Thayer expressed the opinion the plans
being formed by Boyd and other Demo
Gratis would, if carried out, be disastrous
to the Republicans.

isanize" the state, which would mean the
loss of some Presidential electors by the
Republicans
