TRIMMING THE PENSION LIST.
A Sharp Fight in Prospect When tn,
Appropriation Bill COmes I'm.

A Sharp Fight In Prospect When the
Appropriation Bill Comes Up.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. Sunless all
indications fail there will be some very in
teresting debates and sharp maneuvers on
the floor of the house when the pension
appropriation bill is taken up for con-
sIderation. A radical change in the
pension policy is proposed. The
change will be backed BY a
majority of the committee on
appropriations and will be fought tooth
and nail by the Republican minority,
assisted by Representative Holman. chair
man of the committee. The proposed
change in the pension policy has In view a
considerable reduction in the pension rolls
and the enormous amount now paid out
for pensions by purging from the list of
names some of those now on it, and by
making it more difficult of procurement
in some cases of pension under the laws.
1t is proposed to change the laws in
some respects and a new policy is to be
inaugurated as far as the administration
of the law is concerned, by turning over
the whole pension bureau to the war de-
partment. These changes, with some
notifications, are the same as those orig
inally proposed by the subcommittee
which framed the pension appropriation
bill: but in the full committee they were
stricken out by majority of one vote.
The committee has now, by a narrow ma
jority, reconsidered its action. There was
a meeting of the committee this morning.
and the fight for a new pension policy was
renewed by C'Neill of Massachusetts, and
others: and by an aye and nay vote the
committee decided to report the necessary
amendments to be offered to the pension
bill when IL comes up

WHISKY TRUST METHODS.

clOsurea-Crushing Oppoaition.

"usger Dewar Makes Sensational Dis.
ciosures-Crushing Opposition.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 8.-The sub
COMMITTEES of the house judiciary commit
tee continued its whisky trust inquiry to-
day. Thomas Dewar testified that Gibson.
secretary OF the whisky trust. tried to get
him to assist in destroying the Shufeldt
distiIlery.
Boatner, of Louisiana, objected to pro-
ceeding further with this testimony till
the parties affected should be present and
able to cross-examine witness.
Bynum said the president of the whisky
trust was in Canada. He had been teie-
graphed for and would be on hand on
Monday. 1t was finally agreed that wit
ness shoold be held for cross-examination
till the presidents arrival.
Dewar continued, saying he was
United States gauger at Chicago. Glib
son, secretary of the whisky trust, asked
for an interview with him. He told his
superintendent, Internal Revenue Agent
Brooks, of the request. and was told by
him to meet Gibson and see what he
had to say. Gibson said the trust
was unable to get a foothold in
Chicago and said to Dewar that
it would be of pecuniary advantage to fix
things so that the trust could sell goods in
Chicago. If he could do SO it would be
worth $40, 600 to him. In fact, if all went
right. it would be worth $4,000 to him.
Under instructions from his superior Of
ficer Dewar said he had a number
of subsequent interviews with Glib
son, during which it developed that
Gibson wanted him to put an Internal ma
chine, which Gibson would furnish, under
the alcohol tank in the cistern room of
the Shufeldt distillery. for the purpose of
destroying it. Gibson furnished witness
with the internal machine and carefully
instructed him how to use it. Witness
was then ordered to st. Paul. The COM
mittee then adjourned until tomorrow,
when Dewar will continue his testimony.

From The Cincinnati Enquirer.

EOul Ju6 cincinnati EQQ ulreE.
"The most novel fight l ever witnessed"
remarked Mr.. James Meehan, was be-
tween a bulldog and monkey. down in
Cuba. friend of mine had bulldog
that had licked every canine on the
island, and he was very proud of him. A
gentleman from South America said that
he had a monkey thatcould whip the bull
dog, and the owner of the latter laughed
at the idea After some talk a wager of
$500 was made; and the only advantage
that the monkey was to have was that he
was to be allowed the privilege of using a
baton, about the length of policeman's
club, but not so heavy.
The fight was in public place, and in
pit that was surrounded by an iron
grating. There was big crowd to see
the fight. OF course everybody thought
the dog would chew up the monkey. At
ter few minutes, however, the audience
was surprised at the sagacity displayed
by the monkey The bulldog would make
rush at the monkey. and the latter
would jump aside and allow the bulldog
to hit his head against the iron gratings.
This was kept up for twenty minutes or
more, and then the dog began to get tired.
The monkey began to fight. He would
let the dog make d rush and tnen Jump on
the dogs back and strike him several
times with his baton. This was kept up
fell on the floor completely exhausted, and
the mOnkety actually pounded him to
death. The monkey would strike the
dog several blows, and then place his ear
to the canine to see if he still breathed.
Finally the owner of the dog agreed
to give up the fight but the monkeys
owner told him that it was too late, as
the monkey would not quit until he had
killed the dog This was one of the pecu-
liarities of the monkey. They always
killed their victims. The owner of the
dog said he did not want his dog killed,
and insisted on taking the monkey off.
While they were talking the monkey
belted the bog several times with his
baton, placed his ear on the dog, and with
a sudden jump leaped on the shoulder of
his owner and commenced to use monkey
language The dog was examined and
found to be dead The people applauded
the victory of the monkey and it looked
as if the monkey understood it."

A SAD STORY.
An Old Confederate Looks to the Peni-
Tertiary as a Refugee.


From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Strange as it may seem, there is man
in this city who desires to go to the peni-
Tertiary Not only does he want to go to
the penitentiary as quickly as possible,
but desires never to leave its gloomy
portals. He is neither insane nor testing
He is in the deepest earnest, and to that
end yesterday pleaded guilty to the
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses before Judge Adams, in the
first recorders court, and asked that tn G
papers be forwarded atonce to the crimi-
nal court so that he may be sentenced by
one of the criminal judges to-day in order
that he may be able to accompany the
batch of convicts who will be taken to the
pcnitentiary on Saturday by Sheriff
Klock. This unfortunate creature is AL
fred Sinclair. whose hair has been
whitened by the trouble Of sixty-siX win

and eventful story can best be told in his
own words:

the penitentiary, and there l want to go.

For more than tive years this
Baking Powder has been in use in
this market. Some 200, 900 cans have
been sent out with request that 1t 1t
did not give satisfaction they should
be returned, and none ever came
back. This is good evidence that
they gave general satisfaction.
The retail price of the Alexandra
baking powder is % cents pound
The other best star dard brands are 50
cents per pound, and it takes double
the quantity it does of the Alexandre
baking poGder, which makes it cost
ofur times as much.
There are other baking powders
sold here as low as ID cents per Id i,
but like the high priced powders, il
takes two teaspoonfuls to each quart
Of -four. The Alexandra requires only
one, and that makes % cents worth
OF il go as far as 80 ceuis of the So
