THE SESSION OF CONGRESS.

The proceedings of the special session
Of Congress which begins today will be
watched with much greater closeness and
solicitude than the proceedings of that
body generally receive. The session has
been called to meet an emergency and
the public will expect prompt and def
mite action. If the do-nothing-policy
which characterized the last Congress is
repeated in this one the party that is re-
sponsible for it will be sure to meet
with very severe punishment the next
time the people have chance to get at it..
The people have been told that the
present financial depression is due in large
measure to the existence of certain law
and this session of Congress has been
called specially for its repeal. The first
thing that Congress should do, therefore,
is to apply itself to a consideration of
that law and not leave it until it is
either repealed or the impossibility of re-
pealing it demonstrated. Tt will be a
great mistake TO undertake general legis-
lation at this session. 1t will be a great
mistake to inject into. little tariff question
The work of the session should be con-
fined to the financial question, and when
that is sAttled Congress should adjourn.
1t will be easily possible by introducing
general legislation into this session, es-
pecially legislation relating to the tariff,
TO make che session hindrance rather
than ahelp to the country.

=. Two Italians who have been travelling
about exhibiting large cinnamon bear,
appeared in Pittfeld Tuesday evening
and stopped over night in an old barn
south of the village. The following
morning Moses Burns went to the Lan-
cey House pasture as usual with a team
| to milk the cows The bear and his
| keepers were just getting ready to move
along, when the animal frightened the
horse and the result was a badly demol-
ished wagon. Rufus Burns, manager of
the Lancey House, was naturally grieyed
at the damage to his properly, ana had
a warrant issued for the detention of the
wandering sons OF Italy. Deputy Sheriff
Nickerson. armed with the warrant,
| went to the scene of the diturbance, when
one of the bears keepers drove him out
of the lot at the point of pistol.
Nickerson then returned for help and
Bruin and his owners quietly stole away.
Nick" got three men fully armed, and
the grim Quartette grimly started out
for bear. Their game eluded them all
day, however, and the pursuers proceed
ed to Burnham and Clinton where Offic-
ers Bickford and McNelly were pressed
into the hunt. The men were captured
four miles south of Canaan village, to-
wards CLIFTON, on a cross road, Officer
Nickerson brought the man who threat
ened him to Pittsfeld and placed. him in
the cooler.
The owner of the bear was arraigned
before Justice Bowden on charge of as
saulting Officer Nickerson. His name is
Paul Barque, and with his companion
and the bear came over from France
about month ago. Neither can speak
English. Barque said he thought Nicker-
son was higwayman when he drove the
sheriff off with pistol, and had no idea
he was an officer. Moreover he said he
knew nothing of the Maine law prohibit
ing the exhibiting of bears, that the bear
cost him $500 in France, and threw him
self on the mercy of the court. 1t was
necessary to employ an interpreter in
examining Barque. He was held until
Saturday, and both men and the bear
are now in the lookup,

ROBERT STUART MAC AuTHuR.
Who VIII Lecture in this Vicinity Next
Week

Our community is to be greatly favored
next week by visit from Rev. DR.. Robert
Macarthur, of New York city, the able
pulpit orator and interesting popular
lecturer. He is to give q wonderfully
descriptive lecture upon the Huguenots
of France and the revocation of the edict
of Nantes, before the Chatauqua of
Maine at Fryeburg on Tuesday next;
and on Wednesday and Thursday, the
Gth and 10th inst, at Ocean Park, Old
Orchard he will deliver his lecture upon
the elements of success in life and the
genius and career of Oliver Cromwell.
DR.. Macarthur is assuredly a most in
teresting eloquent and instructive speaker
and all will be amply repaid for the
time and money expended.
A few items of personal biography re-
lative to him may be of special interest:
Rev. DR. Macarthur is the son of Scotch
Highland parents and all will allow
that that is pretty good stock. His par
ents came over to the town of Dalesville,
some so miles from Montreal, Canada,
about 80 years ago. He fitted for coll
ese SO the Woodstock Institute, and was
graduated from the University of Roch-
ester in 1867, receiving the first gold
medal for the best written and delivered
grafton; and was graduated from the
Theological Seminary of that University
in 1870 Some six months previous to
the close of his theological course, he
was called to the passionate of the Cal
vary Baptist church of New York city,
and that is his present passionate, where
he has pone a most decided Chrlstlan
work for twenty years. He married a
Miss Fox of Saratoga, and has a most
interesting family of five children. His
eldest son has just finished his freshman
year at Brown University.
Dr. Macarthur has supplied the pulpit
of fremont Temple in Boston for two
summers during the absence OF the pas
tor, Rev. DR.. Lawrence, and has attached
religious society-the strangers Sabbath
house-and the general public, as well,
to very great extent.
Whether he has ever preached or lect
tured in this city we are not aware, but
we are very sure that the more he is
heard and the better known he becomes
the more will, the popular feeling go out
toward him and the attraction towards
him personally will increase.
While learned, he is not too learned; he
does not fire over the heads of the peo-
pie. He abounds in fine language,
brought down to the comprehension OF
the common people, yet full of classical
illusions and poetical quotations He
is perfect in health and strength, so much
SO as to be almost an athlete in physical
development. He has been abroad four
times and received the enrichment which
| the tone of Europe-from Norway to
| Italy-is so well calculated to impart.
| He reads and speaks French very well,
and last summer, while in Paris, he ad-
dressed a religious convention as an
| American delegate in la belle language
Francois very fuently and with true
Partisan accent.

The outbreak of cholera in Naples will
undoubtedly cause some uneaslness IN
this country, on account of the large flow
of immigration from Italy to the United
States. The immigration movement from
Italy has wonderfully increased during
the last year or two. Prior to 1850 all
together only 5000 Italian immigrants
had come to this country, while since
that time the number has been 210, 600.
The past year there were $4,000 of these
immigrants, an increase of 10000 over
the preceding year. Our sanitary in
spectors at the ports of entry will have
to keep sharp eye on Italian immi-
grants, for some time to come, and if the
cholera continues to spread In Italy
probably it will be found advisable to
suspend immigration from that country
entirely.

The breaking of the Water Company's
reservoir on Munjoy hill was undoubtedly
due to some fault in construction. There
have been no heavy rains of late to I'M
dermine it, and it was not subjected to
any sudden and unexpected pressure.
The reservoir was built under the super
vision of one of the most. distinguished
engineers in the country, who was given
complete authority to dictate the method
of construction and the material used.
The water company simply paid the bill.
Having employed the best engineer OBJ
tainable, and given him carte blanche as
to everything pertaining to the work ii
would seem that the company was ac-
quilted of all moral responsibility for the
disaster.

The selection for Crisp for Speaker was
foregone conclusion. The admlnlstra-
ton would doubtless have preferred some
other man, but Crisp had so strong a pull
that there was little chance OF defeating
him. and so the administration wisely
concluded to submit as gracefully as posi-
BILE. When Crisp announces his commit
tees which he ought to do very soon II
will be possible to judge how much truth
there is in the story that Crisp had viz
tually promised to do the administra-
TONS bidding.

points at issue in favor of Great Britain
turns out to be entirely unfounded. 1t

The Maine Non-Forfeiture Law.

There can be no reasonable doubt, but
that one of the chief contributing factors
in the Union Mutual's acquisition of
New Business is the fact that the Bene-
fits of the Maine Non-Forfeiture Law
are daily becoming better understood by
intending insurers-and with this clearer
understanding they naturally secure
Policies containing its benefits, 1t being
equally well understood that the Union
Mutual Life Insurance Company, of
Portland, Maine. is the only cOmpa-
my issuing Policies under this law.
During the twenty-six weeks constitute
ing the first half of 1898. no fewer than
thirteen notices OF Deaths were re-
ceived in which the respective Policy-hol-
dershad through some cause or causes al
lowed their Policies to lapse, and upon
which, without any action whatever on
their part, their insurance was continued
by the benefcent operation of the Maine
Non-Forfeiture Law. These Policies ag.
gregated in amount more than $32, 900.

pensions to an amount that would suffice to

Mr.. Livingston Ga, d. argued in favor OF
the committee amendments, and thought great
frauds were perpetrated on the Government by
the present pension system.
The committee then rose and reported to the
House that no conclusion had been reached on
the pension appropriation bill.
Business was then suspended, and several
members paid tribute to the memory of the
late Ed dward F. Mcdonald, member of Congress
from the Seventh District of New Jersey, at
the conclusion of which the House adjourned
as 4 further mark of respect TO his memory.

After the morning hour the Senate resumed
the consideration of the car-coupler bill, which
consumed the days session. the bill finally
passing by a vote of 80 yeas to 10 nays, after
which the Senate adjourned.
In the House, Mr. Johnson lind, r. rose to
q question Of privilege, and charged that the
Committee on Elections failed to report on the
contested case of Miller against Elliott. from
the Seventh District of South Carolina. The
Speaker decided that this was not question
of privilege, and Mr.. Johnson appealed from
the decision. but the Speaker was sustained by
q party vote.
The House then, in Committee of the Whole,
resumed the consideration of the pension ap-
preparation bill dr. Mutchler pa, d. wanted
an understanding that debate close on the
measure at 3 p. m., to which Mr.. Grout (Vt.,
r. objected. The committee then rose, and
reported that no decision had been reached on
the BILL MIR. Mutchler then moved that the
House 90 into Committee of the Whole on the
pension bill, and that general debate on the bill
close at 3 o'clock p. IN.
The Republicans then began to flibuster
against the motion, when Mr.. Mutcher with
drew his motion, stating that some understand
ing could be reached Oh Monday regarding the
limit of the debate. The House then went
into Committee of the Whole on the pension
bill, and Mr.. Curtis On Y. R. took the floor
in opposition to the amendments proposed by
the committee.
The National tribune., 1893-02-16
GEN. CURTIS ON ALIEN PENSIONERS.

Regarding the amendment prohibiting
aliens from drawing pensions, MIR. Curtis said
that he deemed this amendment very unjust,
and he cited q case in his own regiment, where
five Canadians were shot to death. One case
he remembered where two brothers were killed
and the father soon after died. and the mother.
bereft OF husband and sons, returned to friends
in Canada. He said he would be unwilling by
his vote or action, to deprive her of her pittance
of $12 per month, which the Government gives
her for the loss of one of her valiant boys.
He also spoke with reference to the Union
Veterans League, which had been compared
by Mr. O'Neill of Massachusetts, with the
Grand Army of the Republic, saying he had
no doubt it was composed of honorable men,
and that their officers were entitled to high
consideration, but he thought in respect to
their membership as compared to the G.A.R.,
they do not bear greater proportion to the
ex-sodiers than the three respectable taiior5
of Tooey street. who met and resolved "as the
people of England" bore to the whole number
of the people of England. He said that the
members of the Grand Army are not asking
for anything that is not right and just, and he
did not want it to go out as the views of the
Republican members of the House. or as the
views of those who served in the war; that
there is any objection to the closest scrutiny of
the pension list.
Mr.. Harries Mimi, d. argued that there
was nothing in the figures be had been able to
collect that would show that there would be q
saving to the Government to do away with the
Pension Agencies and pay the pensions direct
from the Treasury. On the contrary, he be-
lieved that it would cost more, and he was con-
sequentIy opposed to the amendment. lie also
made the assertion that there were officers
widows in tho country who are to-day receiving

o'NErLL FAvoRs THE AMENDMENTS.


Mr.. ONeill Mass, d. Las one of the subcom-
mittcc which is in part responsible for the
amendments proposed Ito the pension bill.
argued in favor of the amendments He said
there could be no question that all over the
country feeling had been growing that the
pension list has exceeded all proportions, and
that halt is demanded until it can be shown
that the name of no person will appear on the
pension roll who, first. does not deserve it; and
after those who deserveit, that those who need
it get pension. There was not line in the
amendments that would take away one cent
from anybody entitled TO receive it on account
of wounds or disability contracted in service.
or from anybody in, necessitous circumstances
who needs relief from the Government, who
served faithfully in the war.
Regarding the amendment to take away all
pensions of the inmates of the Soldiers Homes
in excess of So monthly, Mr. ONeill said that
the National Woman's Relief Corps had en-
dorsed this provision, and asked that it be in
serted in the pension bill, as does Gen. Ranm,
Gen. Black, Gen. Franklin. President of the
Board of Managers of the Homes and also six
of the heads of the Homes.
In regard to the amendment prohibiting
widows to draw pensions unless married within
five years after the close of the war, he thought
this amendment just. Any woman who al
lowed her husband to go to the war is worthy
of pension from grateful people. as was the
girl who was engaged to a man who went to
the front and aterward married the soldier.
