Non-Resident Pensioners Anxious.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l0,-The attention of
Congressman Newberry of Illinois was
called TO a dispatch from Montreal stating
that there was much anxiety among per-
sons residing in Canada and drawing pen
sions from the United States government
over his bill providing that no pensions
shall be paid to any person who is not a
resident of the United States.
Mr. Newberry defended his measure,
saying that its main object was to bring
the pensioners residing in other countries
back to the United States. In Germany,
Austria, Turkey, Egypt, and in fact all
over the world, he said. there were large
numbers of United States pensioners
whose sons were becoming citizens of
foreign countries and, in case of war with
the United Statei, would probably fight
against their mother country.
when was in Germany" Mr.. New
berry continued, ~ talked with any num-
Der of United States pensioners, who eX-
pressed an intention of remaining away
from home, and altogether. there are
about 10000 or more of such people in va
rious parts of the world.

GAVE HILL A HINT.
landIady Bateman Intmated to Him
That He Had Too MANY Visitors.

ALBANY, Feb. TO- Much discussion was
caused here to-day by the publication Of
Senator Hills being obliged to leave the
private boarding house in which he had
been staying, at No. 122 State street, and
take up his quarters in the Delavan
House.
1t seems that Senator Hill was much at
tached TO his old quarters and gave them
up with much regret, as the result of
very broad hint from Mrs. BateH4eHt5 HIS
landlady, that she would prefer his room
TO his company.
Since the senator's arrival i'm Albany
such n constant stream of callers visited
the State street house from early morn
till late at night that the other boarders
in the house were annoyed by the con
stant ringing of the door bell and the
tramp of many feet through the halls,
and Mrs. Bateman had TO face the alter
native of retaining Hill or losing her
other boarders

STARVING ON THE RANCHES.
Another Fall Of Snow Diminishes the Hope
of saving the stock.

BOISE, Idaho. Feb. 10.-Another heavy
snow storm is prevailing throughout the
mountainous regions of southern Idaho,
to the great discouragement of stockmen
who had hoped for an early spring. The
present fall of snow will amount TO good
six inches, making it impossible for starv-
ing cattle and horses TO uncover the scant
feed. Stockmen say to-day that there il
absolutely no hope for stock upon the
ranges. Thousands OF animals are already
dead, aud efforts TO save the remaining
thousands will be abandoned. In some of
the valleys farmers have been short of
feed and have been compelled to turn the
poorest of their cattle adrift to starve.
Every rancher who comes TO Boise re-
ports having taken up a number of horses
and cattle. Scores of complaints regard
ing starving animals have been made to
Stock Inspector Clark, but he cannot at
tend To half the poor brutes. The stall
lions owned by stockmen are a source of

hunger, and run amuck among the herds
and droves, tearing with their teeth and
striking with their forefeet. The present
winter has never been equalled in Idaho.
