what it proposes-that is, TO prevent the
payment of pension money 10 people rot
citizens or residents of the United states
After the war foreigners who had come TO
this country as soldiers of fortune and had
served in its armies for some time. took ad-
vantage of the liberal pension laws and re-
turned to their native countries. where
they have since lived rearing families on
moneys paid them by the United
States. Their children will naturally
be found in the ranks of the
army of their country whether 1t be in
wars against the United States or other
countries. Ii is not now nor was il ever
their purpose to return TO this country; nor
do their sons acknowledge allegiance 10
the United States. The pensioner himself
takes advantage of his condition TO absolve
himself from duties to his home govern
ment and lives in ease and luxury upon
the bounty of the United States. He Is q
constant source OF annoyance 10 our con-
suls and ministers abroad in demanding
protection under our flag from duties ow-
ing to bis own government. It's known
that there are several thousand such pen
eioners living in the kingdom of Wurtem-
berg. Germany. and our late minister to
Turkey says they are scattered all over
eastern Asia and western Europe. We
know many are living In the British Isles
and the Canadas. 1t surely Is a better
policy that the recipient of government
favor shall live in and be part of the peo-
pie of the. country upon whose bounty he

RAUM TO BE INVESTIGATED.

Democrats viii Attempt to Make Political
Capital by Overhauiing the Pension Bureau.
Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. Several resolu-
tions have been introduced in the House
looking to an investigation of the Pension
Bureau. The following is the text of the
resolution which will be reported to-mor-
row by Mr.. Catchings, from the committee
on rules:
Resolved. That a select committee, to consist
OF five members, be appointed by the Speaker
which shall have power and authority to investi
gate and report upon the methods of business in
the Bureau OF Pensions; to inquire whether
has been made by the Commissioner OF Pensions
of his official position to promote his private az
fairs or partisan political purposes; whether
there has been discrimination between
applicants for pensions or between attorneys
practicing before the bureau; whether any of the
clerks or subordinate officers OF the bureau have
abused their powers or taken advantage of their
position TO make profit for themselves or others;
whether the ciyil-service law has been violated
by the Commissioner or other officers OF the
bureau in the matter of appointment or promo
ti0n, and generally to inquire into all alleged
abuses pertaining to said bureau or any OF its
officers or employees
Such committee shall have power 20 send for
oath, and may employ a stenographer and one
clerk and shall report the result of Its tnvestga
uons TO the House, With such recommendations
as 1t may deem proper TO make The expense of
such investigation shall be paid out OF the con-
tingent funds or the House.

negotiations looking toward reciprocity
with Canada and the many other ques tons
mutually affecting the United States and
Cana a. George L. Foster. Minister of
Fina ce. who is one of the Canadian visit
ors. has long been one of the Torres who
has contended against reciprocity and
all other plans of ASSOCIATION with
the United States. Sir John Thomp-
son. Minister of Justice. and the
Hon. Mackenzie Bowell acting Minister of
Customs. and the other Cabinet officers in
the party have not been so openly hostile
to the United States. although they have
long been identified with the anti-Ameri-
sued.
Minister Foster has only recently been
persuaded to advocate reciprocity. Less
than year ago he declared that Canada
could only be contaminated by COM
United States. 1--WE want nothing
to do with the United States" he
then ssid. land Cans las course of wisdom
the United States minds hers" This utter
ance was on the eve of Mr.. Fosters depart
ure for the West Indies. where he expected
TO inaugurate huge plan of reciprocity
with the southern islands, by which Cana
da would undersell the United States. But
Minister Fosters West India scheme was q
failure. and he has now concluded to solicit
reciprocity with the United States.
Secretary Blaine is fully aware of the
anti-American character of the visiting
Canadian delegation. Mr.. Hit. of Illinois.
who has long voiced Mr.. Blaine's views of
Canadian affairs. is decidedly of the opin-
ion, If reciprocity with Canada should
come at all, it will be after the Tory ele-
ment Is displaced By the growing Liberal
party of the Dominion. which makes reci-
procity and cordial relations with the
United States the chief feature of its plat

to Whipple all were conversant with the re-
lation of the National Cordage Trust to that
scheme. 1t also is,stated that Mr. Whipple
has a letter from Mr.. Waterbury, president
of the National Cordage Company. stating
that they were largely interested in the
Union company and highly recommending

The part of the scheme that has appealed
so powerfully to the Alliance agents is the

JEFFERsoNvILLE, Ind, Feb. 9-Dr. w.
N. Mccoy. the we'll known physician and
surgeon, died at 6 o'clock yesterday morn-
ing, at the family residence. in this city.
He ives very popular member of several
lodges. and wac also surgeon for the O. g.
M. railroad at this point. His many
friends throughout the State will be sur
prised to hear of his death as his
illness was not considered of serious nat
ure. But the doctor was heartbroken on
account OF his domestic trouble, and. il is
said, was glad To leave this life. The pub
lie to-day could not refrain from discussing
his wIfe's action In fling a suit for divorce,
the sensational trial that followed, her
sudden resolve to again live with her hus-
band. and then her perverse desertion of
him and her children within q
few hours. her temperance at
the family residence after q long
and unexplained absence. her failure
to settle their difference, her departure for
her mothers and her recent futile attempt
to kidnap her two little girls and son
from the home of DIR. McCoy's brother
the Rev. Theodore Mccoy. at Hanover,
since Or. Mccoy was taken i'll. How the
case will be settled now remains in as
much doubt as ever.
DR.. Mccoy was born in Kingston, Deca-
tur county. Indiana, fifty-eight years ago.
but had resided in Jeffersonville since 1864.
He was graduate of the Louisville Med
ical College and subsequently was at the
Bellevue Hospital. New York.
