PENSION LAWS
70 BE Attacked During the
Present Session Of Congress
BY What is Known as the So
Ciety of Loyal Volunteers.

They Hope to Reduce the Yearly Expend-
itures in This Direction from ss13S,-
900, 900 to G3s, 100000, or mt Most
$5O,OOO,OOO, and Give Their Reasons
For Making Such Demands.
WASHINGTON, Jan, 16.-An attack is
to be made in the present congress upon
the pension laws with the hope of re-
ducing the annual expenditures in this
direction from Si38. 100000 to %33, ,000-
600, or, at most, $j0,000,000 The or
ganization which proposes this revolu
ton in pension matters had its inception
in Washington, where it has been work
ing for some time, quietly but effective
ly. 1t is known as the Society Of Loyal
Volunteers.
The association believes in teaching
and maintaining, among other things,
these lessons: That the war was Tor
the preservation of the Union and not
for conquest or revenge; that the volun-
teer armies were inspired by no hope IF
individual gain or glory; that many per-
sons as loyal and brave as those who en-
tered the service were prevented
from doing so by circumstances
that did not hinder their
companions. that the victories were
gained by the loyalty, courage, endur-
ance and loy;l inspiration of the whole
people; that armies were recruited from
all classes and vocations that the vast
majority of the volunteers were men of
good character, but some were bad, and
that this class of men do not hesitate to
live on the generous gratitude of the
people through payments made on pen
sions obtait ed by fraud, or at the ex-
pense of poor; that men who had the
Intelligence. fraud and persistent energy
to win battles by virtue of these same
qualities of character are able to com
pete successfully for the rewards of civil
life with those who did not enter the
service; that many who sustained severe
wounds and almost all who retained the
seat suffered no impairment of their
ability to care for the support of them

A NEGRO BRUTE LYNcHED.
Attempts Suicide when Corncred-strung
Up and Filled with Bullets.

OXFORD, o., Jan. 16.-Quiet Oxford,
the classic seat of learning, was the
scene of the lynching of murderer Henry
Corbin at about 8 o'clock Thursday
night. The scene Of the hanging was
the public square, in the shadow of old
Mama university, and convenient
tree was the gallows.
All day searching parties were out
hunting the murderer, but without get,
ting trace Of him. About $3.50 he was
located in shed about a mile from
town. to which a colored boy was found
carrying food. A posse at once went to
and surrounded the shed. AS they ad-
yanced a shot was heard. They rushed
in and found Corbin lying on the floor
with bullet hole in his head. He had
shot himself, but was not dead.
A litter was constructed and the
wounded man carried to town. AT the
town hall rope was tied about his neck
and he was pulled into the air. Cooler
heads cut the rope and he was carried
to the Jail.
The mayor tried to disperse the crowd,
and Dr. Hinckley told him that although
the man was alive, he had but few mo-
ments to live. Words We're of no avail,
and the doors of the Jail were broken
open and the keys of the iron cage We're
taken from the marshal by force. The
crowd opened the iron door and dragged
Corbin from the cell through the snow
to the public square.
1t was five minutes to 8 o'clock when
a rope was attached to his neck and
dozens of willing hands pulled him up
to limb of one of the largest trees
The body was then made q target and
shot after shot fired into it. The mob
then quietly dispersed. AT 1890 the
body was cut down. The dead mans
friends refused to take charge of it.
A few days ago Corbin assaulted and
murdered Mrs Horner, widow who
had befriended him. and then assaulted
Miss Lizzie Horner, the dead woman's
daughter.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 16.--The first

Schley and many navy and army officers
were present. They were all pleased
with the way work is being pushed ON

trial trip except the armor plating. The
boilers, engines, all machinery, every
thing but the armor plate and guns, are

In case of war the armor plate can be
quickly put in place. It was the govern
ment's intention to test the plate before
putting it on the vessel, but this will
probably be dispensed with. If the plate
were here the Monterey could be ready
