Anemosa, Iowa, April ia convict
now confined in the Anamos:l peniten-
tiary claims he is the Col. Heath who
commanded Heath's division of Hills
corps at the battle of Gettysburg. He
describes accurately all the manouvers of
the battle exactly as set forth in the Of
fetal records of the war department.
There is scarcely a spot on his body
six inches square that has not an army
wound. Letters have been written to
ascertain the truth of the statements
and establish his identity, and if he is
found to be what he claims, Il pardon will
be asked for from the president by his
friends. Heath is seventy years old, and
he and his son are in the prison for
three years for stealing cattle. Judge
Parker of the Indian Territory, who SEN
fenced them, says they carried on cat
tlea stealing on a large scale, shipping
to Kansas City. He claims a personal
acquaintance with Holle Smith, and he
says Hoke Smiths father was in the
army with him. People are inclined to
believe his story. A letter has been writ

Talk of Resign Ing.

Omaha, April II. = The sensation in
Union Pacific affairs is a report that Re
ceivers Anderson, Coudert and Doane will
resign in consequence Of Judge Caldwell's
criticism, and possibly also of Judge
Dundy's delay in fixing their salaries un-
til he should see what they earned. An
other thing which causes uneasiness is
the reorganization scheme. None of the
ten different interests have conceded any
thing, it is stated. The officials are be-
ginning to think an agreement will soon
be effected between the Union Pacific
and the gulf roads. Mr.. Mcconnell has
gone to the annual gulf election to look
out for the Union Pacific interests.

Twenty-Eight Years Imprisonment
for Violating the Pension Laws.
Washington, April 10. = The pension
bureau has been notified that Rev. W..
G. Lewis Of Tennessee has been sen
fenced to the penitentiary for twenty
eight years for violations of pension laws,
and nine other claimants in pension cases
have been sentenced to from one to two
years each. Lewis was a member of a
regiment of colored troops during the
late war and has been prosecuting PEN
sion claims throughout East Tennessee,
Nashville, Kansas City, Mo-, and
Natchez, Miss. He has filed large num-
bel of claims, many of which We're based
entirely on false afidavits, with claimants
persopating either the soldier or the
widow of the soldier. It is said that
there is no pension law that has not been
violated by this clerical pension attorney.

POPULIST GAINS.
The Peoples Party Shows Consider

NDle strength IN montana.
Helena, Mont, April IL. - Municipal
elections were held in the cities and
towns of the state yesterday and the
results are significant as showing the
tremendous strength of the Populist vote
in Montana. In Butte they gained two
aldermen and hold the balance of power
in the city council. They elected Two
aldermen in Anaconda, half the number
voted for; gained one in Livingston and
ran nearly even with the Democrats in
other wards. In other places they had
tickets in the field and made strong show
lrgs. The Republicans lose control of
Butte, and the Democrats gain control
Of Great Falls. These are the only in
stances where there was Il change of
political control. The strength developed
by the Populists, coming on top of their
recent remarkable showing in the Helena
election, makes it a foregone conclusion
that the fight for the legislature next fall
will be between the Republicans and q
Populist-Democratic combination. The
legislature will elect two United States,
senators, and if the Populists and Demo-
Gratis effect a faithful combine they can
easily carry the state.

Ogden, Utah, April 1.-THE Western
industrial army will be taken back out

WORK OF CONGRESS-

SENATE AND HOUSE.
Condensed Record of the Important
Transnctions of Our National Law.
makers-The Work Done In Both
Branches.

Washington, April THE policy of de-
lay in the senate by the Republicans was
made manifest to-day, although Senator
Aldrich declared that there was no pur-
pise on the Republican side of resorting
to flibustering. The proceedings through
out the day were of a nature to remind
a spectator of the extra session. The
motion to adjourn made by Senator
Aldrich, and his motion for an executive
session, the call for quorum and other
proceedings of like character, together
with the fact that a roll call was de-
manded by one side or the other on all
the motions of this character became
part of the record, but necessarily no Of
fetal note was taken of the conferences
on both sides of the chamber, and of
other transactions of character to show
that the tariff contest has reached an
acute stage Senators Voorhees,, Jones,
Harris and Mcpherson, DEN ocratic mem
bers of the finance committee, We're in
whispered conversation considerable
part of the afternoon after
close vote on Senator Hills motion to
adjourn, and the Republican leaders were
on the qui vive to discover the import Of
the conference. They at last whether
TIN ough inference or information, con-
cluded that the Democratic leaders were
preparing a scheme for the reading of the
tariff bill which was afterward proved to
be correct, and this the Republicans re-
solved to antagonize. They don't want
the bill read at length, for if this should
lie done it would afford opportunity for a
parliamentary coup like that which &C.
Cured on the seigniorage bill. Whether
the plans of the Democrats were correctly
OWNED or not, the senate adjourned amid
a confusion of fruitless efforts to obtain
quorum an hour and half in advance
Of the usual time.
In the house Congressman Hall to-day
secured unanimous consent for the con-
sderation and then for the passage of
his bill allowing the city of Hastings to
construct wagon bridge across the Mis-
sissjppi river. The house then went into
committee of the whole, Mr.. Hatch in the
cEsir, and the consideration of the post
office appropriation bill was resumed.
Washin -,ton, April Ex-senator Carey is
much encouraged over the prospects of
his bill for the cession on the part of the
government of 100000 acres to each of
the arid land states and territories to be
improved by irrigation. There has been
such general expression of opinion on
the part of the members in favor of the
bill that there is little doubt that it will
be favorably reported soon by the COM
mittee ON public lands. Mr.. Carey is led
to believe that the bill will receive the
unanimous endorsement of the commit
tee. Senators Dolph and Villas, both OF
whom favor the BILL say it provides fo1
an experiment in the right direction, ant
is one which, if it should be undertaken
may lead to solution of the question Of
what is to be done to reclaim the ariG
lands.

A. E.. Cook was shot in the head and
instantly killed about midnight by an
eccentric shoemaker named Levi Street
er, originally from Ottumwa, Iowa. He
says Cook entered the shop and ordered
him to throw up his hands and give up

right citizen for the past ten years. He
was foreman of the car shops for the
