The States Pensioners.

Augusta, February 3.-The state pen
sion department issued 1903 certificates
to pensioners last year, requiring an ex-
penditure of $4,000. The appropria-
ton was $65, 500, which leaves S1700 to
lapse into the treasury. Since the open
ing of the new year Pension Agent Mill
ken has received 1879 applications for
pensions, of which Al were new ones, an
unusually large percentage. The state
is obliged to bear an additional burden
through the action of the United States
Pension Department in cutting off pen
sions. Many of those who have been cut
off come to the state depar tment for aid.
The oldest pensioner ON the state rolls Is
Maria Wilson of West Gardiner, 50 years
of age.

Especial to the Press. I

Especial to the Press.l
Richmond, February 3.-Several of the
leading officials of the ice companies
have been in town during the latter part
of the week looking over matters pertain
ing to the ice harvest in this vicinity.
The outlook at this writing is favorable
for large amount of ice being harvested
during the coming weeks.
Morse & Co. will begin running ice
Monday at the Russell village houses
and at Thwing's point. and Charles
Russell & Co. will then begin filling
their Hodges houses. Clark & Chaplin
Ice company will begin running as soon
as their fields can be cleared of snow.
Preparations for all this work have been
begun during the past week, and should
no unexpected complications arise, it will
probably be continued until the build
ings are filled.
The Cochrane-Oier Ice company have
filled their houses This company will
probably increase it's storage capacity be
fore another season.
1he ice ranges from ten to seventeen or
more inches in thickness, and is of first
rate quality. All reports as to it's being
salt are without foundation in fact.

Augusta, February BIN response to
the Inquiries of representative of the
Kennebec Journal, who asked ex-Minister
Stevens as to thescorrectness of assertions
made i'm the House of Representatives on
Friday by Congressman McCreary, re-
fiecting on his Official conduct at Homo
lulu, MIR. Stevens said that the most of
Mr.. McCreary's statements were entirely
erroneous.
Mr.. McCreary, as reported, states that
when the marines and sailors of the Bos-
ton were landed there was a British
man-of-war in the harbor, also a
Japanese warship. Mr.. Stevens says there
was no British warship OF any kind then
at Honolulu, and that the Japanese iron
clad did not arrive until several weeks
after the men of the Boston had landed.
On the committee of public safety, which
requested the landing of the men of the
Boston for the public security, the Eng
fish residents were represented.
