A Batch of RESOLUTIONS.

During the first session of the senate 3
number of resolutions were presented and
referred to appropriate committees. Among
them are:
Senator George, democrat, of Mississippi,
one, directing the committee on rules to re-
port revision OF rules with view of expe-
ditlng business and compelling a vote.
Senator Hoar, one requesting the president
for information not incompatible with the
public service, concerning the recent mas
sacres of Armenans in Turkey and as to
what protests, memorials, etc., had been
presented by American citizens.
Senator Turpie, democrat, one, reciting
that the time had come for the election of
United States senators by direct vote of the
people.
Senator blanchard, one. protesting against
the recent Turkih h atrocities against Armen-
ians, and directing that the remonstrance of
this government be communicated to
Turkey.
Senator PETER, two One directing the
judiciary committee of the senate to investi-
gate. the circumstances and legal authority
under which the secretary of the treasury
made the last two issues of bonds. The sec
ond resolution calls on the president for in

Report of Pension Bureau.

The report of the pension bureau shows
that the entire number of pensioners upon
the rolls June 30, 1894, was 969, ,544. The esti-
mate for the fiscal year 1896 is $140, 600. 900.
Pensioners added to the roll during the
year was 39,055 number dropped 81 ,951.
The greater part of the cases now pend
ing in the bureau are old cases. Many of
them have been pending for years, and have
been examined one or more times prior to
the present administration. Upon examina-
tion it has been found, in many instances,
that proof was not sufficient to sustain q
pension. The attention of the applicants
having been called to the defect in some
cases, efforts have been made TO supply the
needed testimony.
The great discrepancy between the num-
Der of cases now being allowed and the
number allowed two or more years ago
grows out of the fact that the pending cases
constitute remnant of an immense mum Der
of claims, of which those we'll established
have already been adjudicated.
The secretary says the work accomplished
in eighteen and half months is unprece-
dented in the history of the department be-
ing more than twice the mum Der of cases
disposed of in like period by the prior ad-
ministration.

All rhat can he Afrnrded-

TOPEKA, Decent ber 5.-General Manager
j. j. Frey, of the Santa Fe, does not believe
there is any immediate prospect that the
company can employ additional men in its
machine and repair shops at Topeka or else
where. In his judgment the company al
ready has all the employees that the business
will justify.
"There will have to be a decided increase
of business he says. 'before the force can
be increased. Indeed, we are endeavoring
to cut down expenses wherever we can.
rather than increase them. The notion that
work is accumulating is erroneous. If the
traffic demanded further work we certainly
would have it done, but everything necessa-
rily depends on the demand. We thought
last years business was poor enough, but
this year is much worse, and / can see no
reasonable prospect of an immediate in
crease. There is no corn to handle and the
cattle shipments are practically over for the
season. We are employing about two-thirds
of usual force at the shops and from pres
ent indications that is all we need.
sin regard to general business / think
there are some evidences of improvement,
but it is coming slowly, and l do not be-
lieve we will realize any great business re-
vival this winter

Policy About Indian SCHOOLS.

WASHINGTON, d. c., December 5.-Secre-
tary Hoke Smith thus expressed his policy
for Indian schools:
II agree fully with those who oppose the
use of public money for the support of sec
tartan schools. But this question should be
considered practically. The schools have
grown up. Money has been invested in
their construction for the time when they
were recognized as wise instrumentalities
for the accomplishment of good. do not
think it proper to allow the intense feeling
of opposition to sectarian education, which
is showing itself all over the land, to induce
the department to disregard existing insti-
tutions. We need the schools now or else
we need large appropriation to build
schools to take their place.
1T would scarcely be just to abolish them
entirely, to abandon policy 30 long recog-
nized. My own suggestion is that they
should decrease at the rate of not less than
20 per cent year.
''This is the policy which is now control
ling the department and unless It is changed
by legislation it will lcontinue. The decrease
in the amount allotted for the the present
fiscal year is 20 per cent

TOO POOR.

Nor Better Wages.
Changes without Improvement

Changes Without Improvement.
NEW YORK, Decem Der 3.-R. G. Dun 4
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
The complete success of the government
loan and the replenishment of the gold re.
serve have not perceptibly affected business
nor prevented an advance of foreign ex-
change near the exporting point. Mean
while, domestic trade and industry have
not been influenced by the heavy defaIca-
ton in one bank and minor disorders in two
others, nor by failures of the Erie railway
to meet interest on its bonds. The closing
of sugar rcineries will diminish the indus
trial force more than it is increased by the
umption of the Bethlehem steel works
and a few other concerns. The control
ling fact is. that although in two instances
wages have been increased, the earnings of
the working force, and its purchasing power
are not, on the whole, enlarging at pres
ent and prices of the chief farm products do
no materially improve.
Wheat is 1 a cents higher thon week ago
and western receipts still exceed last years,
amounting since July l to 103, zoe. 900 bush
els against 100, 300, 900 last year. while exports
from all ports have been about 21 ,O0O, 900
bushels smaller.
The smaller quantity received last year
paid more debts by about $3.000,O00 than
the large quantity this year and wheat sell
ing for the first time below go cents Just
after harvest may naturally be held back
for better returns.
Corn has advanced fraction, receipts be-
ing larger than year ago, and on the whole
the outcome for farmers has not so i'm
proved as to promise larger buying by the
the west and south
The great industries fairly maintain the
production previously reported. but cannot
be expected to increase at this season.
A few more iron works have gone into
operation and the demand is reported larger,
but there is a distinct weakness in prices,
especially at Pittsburg, and Bessemer iron
billets. nails and some structural forms are
quoted lower. The rail combination has
agreed to reduction of 81 per ton for the
next year.
Coke contracts are being made for the first
quarter of1895 at current rates.
Failures this week have been in the United
States 289, against 271 last year, and in Can
ada 36, against 48 last year.

WASHINGTON, d. c., December 3.-Secre-
tary Morton is in receipt of a communica-
ton from John Mates, jr., special agent to
the department of agriculture in Germany,
referring to possibilities of extending the
market in that country for American meats
Mr.. Mates writes under date of Novem ber
Is as follows: Last year German farmers
and stock breeders were compelled to sell
their cattle irrespective of price and condi-
tion. 1t was then predicted that Germany
would be short on beef cattle, resulting in a
rapid advance in the price of meat, which
would give foreign meat exporters an oppor-
tunity to establish themselve in the German
market. l have visited many of the princi-
pal German cities and paid attention to the
sales of imported meats, but in my opinion
Germany will never become a large con-
sumner of imported meats. 1t is true the
consumption of American salted bacon and
other meat products in cans may increase
in such abnormal years, but un der normal
conditions it may be said the poorer classes
cannot allow themselves the luxury. The
more fortunate are, as rule, unreasonably
prejudiced against foreign meats.
''The sale of imported fresh meats is, how
ever, conducted with many difficulties and
possibly with great loss to the exporters,
brought about by local regulations. At the
best, the business always rests upon a specu-
latiye foundation"

TOPEKA. December .5.-In lengthy opin-
ion handed down by Judge Hazen, of the
district court. in the famous cholera fund
case' the court decided in brief that this
state was not threatened during the year
1884 with an invasion of the cholera and for
that reason that the defendants have no
right to draw any portion of the cholera
be allowed.
Judge Hazen bases his opinion on the
grounds that the Legislature intended the
appropriation to be used only in case OF
actual invasion of the state by the disease
and the evidence showed that this never oc-
cured, nor was at any time imminent.

Tns Sacramento Strike.

The Bee sums up the strike situa-
ton in Sacramento Tuesday as fol-
lows:
Trains are running uninterrupted
ly in and out Of Sacramento on all the
lines, and Pullman coaches go on the
ira ne they were accustomed to go on
be oro the exciting occurrences of the
p st few weeks.
At the depot passengers fitted
about as in the days of peace. The
re- ;ulars lounged about on their bag
gage and talked or took nap; as
they pleased. The gatling gun pointing
down Second street did not look near
ly as War like as formerly. There was
no body to guard it, and it wasn't load
ed. The guard lines were maintained,
however, and those who would go to
the depot or to the shops had to show
Their passes.
Colonel Wright did not have much
time to spare to-day. There was al
ways group in waiting to see him
of men who wanted to go back to
work as switchmen, firemen, or train
men. To some the Colonel could
give word of encouragement, to
Oilers nothing but the announcement
that they must await action on their
application. But all received good
treatment at the hands of the Diris-
ion Superintendent, who does not ap-
pear to have altered his disposition as
a result of the trying times in which
he and the men in his office were
obliged to figure. Snow blockades
were lad enough, but they did not
present half of the knots to be
untangled that the strike has present
