Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, April 16.-In Germany one OF
the sensations Of the week is the publlca-
tion of Rector Ahlwardt's pamphlet against
Ludwig, Loewe * Co, who mada IN their
gun-factory and delivered 10 the govern
ment last year 425 900 small csliber rifles.
Ahlwardt says that these rifles are Of
shoddy make, ana not up TO the require
ments. and will have TO be replaced before
the next war. Ahlwardt Is the most ven-
omous Jewba in the empire. and the
animus of the pamphlet Is to be found in the
fact that Ludwig. LOewe N Co. are jew
ish firm. His present dual attack on the
government for its carelessness in accept
ing the rifles, and on the gun-makers for
defective work, is inspired by Parson
StOecker and the kreuz Zeitung. Con-
servatives. who are anxious TO at once
abuse the Jews and get even with the En-
peror for his recent kicks at their party.
Ahlwardt, however, is about the lowest in
strument they could have secured. As
principal of high-school in Berlin. be bor-
rowed money from his pupils and thelr
parents from members of the school
board, and from other teachers, until
he was so deep in debt that be was
adjudReu bankrupt. and was forced 10
resign.
His last bit of writing before the Loewe
pamphlet was published accused BlochrCed-
er, one of the most tprominent Jewish bank
ers in Berlin. of having led astray the wife
of tailor, having bought the silence OF
her and her husband fo- several years. and
with having periured finally, when ar
raigned on the husbands complaint. by
swearing that he was never intimate with
the woman. When the government tried
to investigate the allegation of perjury
against BlochrPder Ahlwardt said Prince
Bismarck. whose banker Blochrwder had
been for many years. had the records of
the trial stolen. and thus ended the ms
quiry. These charges against BlochredeI
were so near the truth that the banker has
not sued Ahlwardt. Ludwig. Loewe &
Co. will proceed against him for criminal
libel and will probably end his career.
AhlwardJ at present is conducting an anti
Jew campaign in the provinces. and is
holding nightly tumultuous meetings, in
directly in the interest of the Clerical
Conservative coalition against the En-
perOr.

more than raise his hand TO attempt To

dead In front of the altar where no had

NOT ENOUGH FOR PENSIONS.

than the Amount Necessary.


than the Amount Necessary.
WASHINGTON. April 16-The belief pre-
walls among many Senators that the House
has cut the appropriations for pensions
below the absolute requirements of the
law. and it is probable that the total ap-
preparation carried by the pension appro-
priatiOn bill will be swelied by several
million dollars when it is returned to the
House by the Senate. The Commissioner,
in submitting estimates of the amount re-
quired to pay pensions during the next
fiscal year. placed the sum at sl47.OOO. 600.
The House appropriations committee, In
fixing the appropriation. cut s1S.OO0OOO
from this estimate. leaving the total appro-
priation SlS4.0O0.0OO. The reason assigned
for this reduction was the belief that at the
end of the present fiscal year there would
remain unexpended from the general appro-
priation Sl5, ,00O. 600. As this surplus would be
for next year it was held that these appro-
priatiOns could we'll be reduced by an
amount nearly corresponding to the sur
plus. But that action was taken by the
House committee many weeks ago and
meantime the Pension Office has been
working along with much diligence and
has paid so many pensions that the
Senators have come TO the conclusion that
the surplus which will be left at the end of
the present year will be only $4,000. 900.
which, IL true. would oblige the Senate To
add nearly Sl0,00000Oi to the total of the
pension appropriation bill as 1t came from
the House. 1t is possible. with view of
fixing the appropriation as nearly as pOssi-
BILE at the requirements of the Pension
Bureau. the pension appropriation bill will
be allowed to remain unacted ON in the
Senate until the end of the fiscal year Is
close at hand, OF at least until there is OBJ
tainable more information than is now at
hand with reference to the amount of the
