amendments changing the law of 1890.
The following are the principal changes
made: That no widow shall receive
pension under the act of 1890. unless
married TO the soldier prior TO 1870; that
no person shall receive pension under
the act AT 1890 unless disabled IN the
service from manual labor, and IN re-
celpt OF an income of less than 5000
year, and that no nom resident OF the
United States snail receive pension
unless he was actually disabled in the
service. Another amendment provides
for the appointment of a commission to
consider necessary notifications Ill the
pension laws and to report at the next
congress. Most OF these amendments
were offered by Mr.. Neill, of Massachu-
sets, who stated that they were framed
so rs not to exclude persons actually
dependent. but would require all
persons to prove that they were in
fact disabled anu dependent. They were
adopted by vote of three to two, the

said to be likely that some of the Demo-

The bill as framed by the majority of
the subcommittee also does away with

st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Interior navigation has long held a
prominent place i'll the traffic OF France,
and it is not surprising to learn that the
length OF navigable WATERWAYS in that
country is 5000 miles. of which go
miles are returned as tidal. 2,l00 miles
nayigable without works. 2.250 canal
lied rivers and 5000 miles canals. The
state looks out for all but per cent of
this network. which is, therefore, prac-
ticallv free from tolls. This system of
inland navigation has cost about $780,
000.000 for construction and purchase
and so, O00, 900 for concessions. The an
nual cost of maintenance is about
81 600.000, or 1925 a mile, which covers
all expenditures whatsoever.
The number of vessels employed on
waterway is between 5000 and 1900;
about 70 per cent have capacity OF 800
tons or more. while more than half
have a capacity exceeding 100 tons.

trely furnished by draught animals.
although few steam tugs are used on
the Seine. the Disc and some other rivers,

are also used in a few places. The
average cost Of moving ton of freight

an Hour.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.-Nether the
anti-option bill nor the Cherokee outlet
bill, which have the alternate right of
way i'll the senate, had any show OF con-
slderation today. The hour of the ses-
sion was taken up in routine matters,
none of them entitled to be regarded as
of much public interest. The only eX-
cepuOns were the in reduction of bill
for the admission OF Utah as Il state and
an amendment reported from the com
mittee on naval affairs and referred to
the committee on appropriations, looking
to a further increase of the navy by one
battle ship, two armOred Coast defense
vessels. ten gunboats and eight torpedo
boats. The rest OF the days session,

passed behind closed doors, and was de-
voted to the question of whether the
nomination of Mr.. MCCOmaS as one of
the Judges of the supreme court for the

The Texas Director Prevents the
House From Doing Business.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Filibustering
against the bankruptcy bill was in
augurated today by Mr.. Kilgore (Dem.),
Texas. In the first place. he insisted on
the reading of the journal in full. Then
he objected to the approval of that
document, and one hour was consumed
before it was finally agreed to as a DOT
ton of the records of the house. which
are accepted by the courts as binding
evidence of the proceedings of congress.
And again he brought his dilatory
tactics into effect. He was seconded in
his endeavor to defeat the bankruptcy
bill by Mr.. Pierce. of Tennessee, who
supplemented his every fIibustering
motion with another which was calcu-
lated to prevent action and the tilibuS-
tering continued. Another wasted
day. was the comment of the Repub-
licans. and their comments were echoed
by majority of the Democrats. But
the few Democrats opposed TO the
bankruptcy measure held firm, and the
house adjourned without action. thus
exhausting the two days assigned to the
Judiciary committee and the bank

A temporary injunction was served on
County Auditor Cooley yesterday morn
ing to restrain MIN from furnishing the
Times with the COPY for the delinquent
tax list of last year, the contract for
which was given 1t by the county COM
miSsoners. The Irish Standard, which
was one of the papers to bid for the

paper claims it presented bid much
lower than the Times. and the law IS

Irish Standard, and that paper Itself.
holds that the board has no right to use
that right of discrimination when the

the right to discriminate when the pa

the ground that MI. McComaS was not

THE OFFICIAL SALARIES.
Some We're Raised and Others
We're Not.


The fire department. it seems, did not
come out on top, after all, with its bid for
higher salaries for nearly everybody
connected with it. The request OF Chief
Runge for a raise of $500 a year was not
granted by the council committee on
salaries at its meeting Tuesday after
noon. 1t is stated that several members
of the committee were in favor of rails
ing his salary, but did not dare to for
fear OF public opinion. l.. a. Dunn
assistant city attorney, was granted an
increase of $500. making his salary
$l.S00 year.
The first assistant building inspector
was raised from $1,000 to $1,000. and the
inspector OF wires was reduced from
$1,000 to 81. 200. Frank Gaylord, the Gus
todian of the city hall, was given an ad-
vance of 5000 because of increased
duties, and the sealer of weights and
measures was put on the salary list in
stead of being allowed to work under
the fee system, as heretofore. The
amount Of salary will not be fixed until
an ordinance arranging the details has
been passed.

ors, held yesterday morning. A set of
vigorous resolutions were passed. which
instructed the secretary to forward the
most emphatic protest of the chamber
against the bill to Washington. in which
the assertion is made that, as the largest
primary wheat market in the world. the
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce re-
CARDS the bill as utterly mi5chieYOus,
despotic in its provisions, utterly wrong
in its principles, unWarranted, iIle-
gal and unjuSttable IN its in
reference with one of the most
important and largest business in
tereStS in the country; that the denial
by the anti-OptiOn bills to this business
OF the right to make contracts for future
delivery except by parties owning the
property at the time the contract is
made is contrary to all privileges of
equity and law, and that, with equal
Justice. the principle, if enforced in
other kinds of business. would make it
necessary for the contractor to provide

That it would become necessary for

supplies furnished the army and navy
before any agreement for the future de-
livery of these supplies could be made
with them by these departments of gov
eminent.
tiOnS was directed at the author of the
