PENSION REFORM.

The Association Of Loyal Volunteers
Is already making its influence felt in
places for legislation which is intended
10 correct some Of the abuses Of the
ueusion system established by the Bill
ion Dollar Congress.
One Of the bills introduced in the line
Of the recommendations Of this Gss0cia-
ton provides that pensions shall not be
paid % veterans who are already above
the need Of such assistance. Those who
have an independent income or large
estates. or who hold federal Office
always provided that they are comfort
ably supported by such means-are to
be cut of from the bounty Of the gov
eminent.
Another bill looks 20 the dlscrimna-
lion against "bummers' and frauds
providing that only those who served
three years, unless they were disabled
in the service, shall receive full pen
sions. and grading theamount bestowed
according to service and needs.
An this is very obnoxious TO the claim
agents; but it is reasonable and just.

birthday, the presence of three or four
Presidential possibilities, Republican
and Democratic, and its own particular
Presidential possibility, Gen. Alger, and
the annual banquet from the crack Re-
publican organization, the Michigan
Club, were almost too much for the
southwestern corner OF this State to-
day.
There were ex-President Cleveland
and ex-governor Campbell, Of Ohio, on
the one hand, with Governor Mckinley
and Ex-Governor Alger on the other, all
in the city at once, not TO mention 9TH
ers OF National fame.
The event which brought together
the leading Republican politicians from
all parts Of this State and many from
other States was the banquet tonight
Of the Michigan Club.
The banquet was held in the rink. a
great barn-like structure whose inner
ent ugliness was literally hidden away
under the folds of artistically draDed
bunting. Covers were laid for l,2OO
people at tables upon the main floor.
General Alger presided and intro
duced the speakers, and Congressman
Burroughs, Of this State, delivered the
address of welcome TO the visitors. Va
rious toasts were made, and responses
made by Senator Perkins, of Kansas;
Governor Mckinley, Of Ohio; Senator

BIG STREET CAR STRIKE.
The Indianapolis Company in Trouble
with Its Men again.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, February o.
The street car strike in this city is a
complete tie-up. The company tried TO
run car out of the Alabama street sta
bles this morning, but the strikers took
possession Of it and soon had it back in
the barn. The battle between the com
pany and the men will be decisive one
and long and bitter fight is expected.
President Frenzol yesterday appealed TO
Mayor Sullivan for police protection
and the latter has replied that he will
not put police on the cars.
If the strikers attack the men or cars
when they start the police will be ready
to arrest the lawbreskers. This reply
does not satisfy President Frenzel, and
it is stated he is now preparing another
communication 10 the Mayor, in which
he viii demand the assistance Of police
in starting the cars, and If Mayor Sui
Ivan refuses to comply, President Fren-
eel will then call On the Sheriff. All
the wires have been grounded by the
strikers. Up TO noon there had been no
act of violence and everything is per-
fectly quiet. Another attempt will be
made by the road officers TO run cars
this afternoon.

Reports From the English Coast Tell OF
Numerous Disasters.
LONDON, February 22.-As dispatches
continued TO be received the list Of
maritime caSculties due 70 the fierce
gales which have swept over the coasts
of Great Britain and Ireland grow in
length. Among lists OF wrecks is the
Norwegian timber bark Drowning So
Uhie which went ashore az Gally Bead
promontOry Of Ireland in county Cork
between the Bays Of Ross and CIona-
kitty.
She had a crew Of eleven men, who
would undoubtedly have been lost had
20 not been for the gallant efforts OF the
life-bOat men, who, in the very teeth Of
the bowling gale, put out 70 the wreck
and brought al hands safely 10 shore.
A dispatch from Wexford states that a
large steamer bound from Glasgow for
South African ports, is stranded at
Morris Castle, County Wexford She
got OF her course during the binding
storm that prevailed last night and
went ashore at the height OF the storm.
She blew signals OF distress ard seat
rockets, aud iu q short time the life
boat men aud coast guard men were az
the scene. 10 was decided that 10 would
be "A safer plan 20 use the breeCneS buoy
as .he sea was running 50 nigh that 1t
would have been almost impossible TO
get the life boat alongside Of the
stranded vessel. A rocket was accord
iDg.v shot across the steamer and the
breecacs buoy was rugged after some
difficulty, aud the captain Of the
steamer, his wife, and all the crew were
safely landed, not much the worse for
their experience.
The Yacht Surprise has been wrecked
al D1uaghadse Downs, sixteen miles
north of Belfast. The schooner Jane
and Alice foundered of Dungarvan,
County Wexford. The anxiety that
was felt concerning the safety OF the
British steamer Sir Walter Raleigh,
which put her into Bear Haven, Bantry
bay. with her shaft broken while on a
VOYAGE from Philadelphia for Ply
mouth, and which while proceeding in
tow for a port where she could make
repairs broke adrift and went seward,
has been allayed by her arrival at Bear
Haven.
She was picked up at sea by the Brit
iSh steamer Ninian Stewart, Captain
Browne, bound from Baltimore for
Queenstown, and was towed back TO
Bear Haven, where she arrived IL five
o'clock last evening.
A large life boat painted black, which
appears TO have been washed from some
transatlantic steamer mas stranded at
Kilkenny county, Dublin, two and a
half miles southeast OF kingStOwn. Ter
rlble weather prevailed in st. Georges
channel last night. An unknown
French steamer foundered of the Sicily
Islands: three Of her crew were drown
ed. the remaining seventeen Of her crew

SENSATIONAL MURDER.
A Peddler Murdered, and Then Cut Up
And Burned In the stove.

ToRoNTo, ONT, February. 22.-The
Chief OF Police Of this city has just re-
ceiyed information of very sensational
murder. 1t appears that few nights
ago, peddler sought lodging at hotel
on Loretto, small section in Adjala
county, district populated almost ex-
clusiyely by Roman Catholics. He
found a party of villagers in a jolly
mood, drinking and smoking round the
bar-room fire.
They demanded song from the ped
der who hesitated to comply, saying he
knew nothing but orange songs. The
crowd, however, insisted and the ped
dler complied but the sentiment Of the
song so exasperated the crowd that
they set pom and beat the man TO cath.
Suddenly sobered by their murderous
deed they shut the house and spent the
rest of night in cutting up the body and
burning il in the stove.

1t will be remembered that a couple
Of weeks ago an able but as yet unsuc-
cessful effort was made in this city 10
get up an amalgamation between the
Farmers Alliance and the Trades As
sembly. The REGISTER pointed out
that there were political ear-marks on
the thing, and objections on that score
were made in the Assembly. The sur
mise seems TO be confirmed by the fol-
lowing telegram from this city to the
Philadelphia Press:
THE Ohio Valley Trade and Labor
Assembly, composed of all the organ
lied trades in this section, and the
State Farmers Alliance, are preparing
to unite on an independent State ticket,
and they may also have nominees in AL

This confirms the political idea in a
direct way. as Republicans probably
know a good deal about the deal.
