The EIks Want Peace.

CHICAGO, March 19.-The prevailing
sentiment at the Ellls' convention is in
favor of reconciliation. The only def.
mite action that has been taken is the
passage of a resolution declaring that
the lodges are opposed to strife and dis
putes. Peace and harmony could not
be restored, it was said, by recourse to
the courts, and immediate reunion was
urged. in order to accomplish this it
was suggested that a convention be
called for May 20, at New York, where
the officers of both factions be asked to
resign and new officers elected.

An Opinion On Pensions.

WASHINGTON, March 10. - Justice
Brewer of the supreme court has deliv-
cred the following opinion on pensions;
Congress, being at liberty to give or
withhold pensions, may prescribe who
shall receive, and determine all the cir.
cumstances and conditions under which
any application therefor shall be prose-
cuted. No man has legal right to a
pension, and no man has legal right
to interfere in the matter of obtaining
pensions for himself or others. The

the domain of congressional power"

No benefit Of the season has attracted
more attention than that which will be
rendered the Morton Cadets next Friday

enough money to enable them to attend

the tickets have begun to go at a rapid
rate. The list Of patropesses embraces
some Of the best known society ladies' In

large attendance at the excellent entertain

best and some Of the most talented anna
teurs of the city will participate in it. 1t

THE MEMPHIS DRILL,
National Fencibles and Morton Cadets
to Represent Local Guard.

NotlOnal remedies and Morton Cadets
to Represent Local Guard.
The possible entries from this city in the
Memphis interstate drill has been narrowed
to the National FencibIes and the Morton
Cadets. The Emmett Guard, at it's annual
meeting last evening, decided not to take
the trip, and the Corcoran Cadet Corps will
also remain at home. The Emmett Guard
has completed arrangements for unique
enterprise during the last week of May in
one of the base ball parks. A military
camp will be laid out, booths constructed,
and general outdoor fair conducted. Be
cause of this, the company thought it best
not to consider further the Memphis propo-
siton. AS the Corcoran Cadet Corps will
be unable to participate, both in the Mem
phis drill and the brigade camp of the Dis
trict Guard, it will not enter the competi-
ton.
The Memphis Drill Association announces
| that Gen. Schofield will visit Memphis, and
II at the Secretary of War will furnish
company from each corps of the regular
service and band, provided transportation
is furnished such troops to Memphis. The
transportation will be furnished. Col. l. F.
Peters, general manager of the drill, after
an absence of six weeks, and after visiting
thirty-six of the leading cities of the coun-
try, has returned to Memphis. Col Peters
names seventy-fve as conservative esti-
mate of the number of companies that will
participate In the contest.
Capt. Domer has received a telegram from
the st. Louis Fair Association. announcing
an interstate drill to be held in that
city the first week in July. The prizes ag-
greSating $4,000, it is claimed, are guaran-
teed by the fair association, and the money
is in bank to pay them. The list of events
includes an interstate infantry drill, for
which five prizes are offered the first being
$500, and what is termed the National
Competitive Drill Association cup, valued
at sl,uOo. Then there is a maiden drill
with $500 first prize; an artillery drill
zouave drill and military school cadet
drill. The drills are to be held on the
grounds of the st. Louis Fair Association.
The Washington companies will not give
any consideration whatsoever to this con-
templated drill. The designation of the cup
offered THE National Competitive Drill
Association Cup" is considered premature
by the members of the Fencibles Capt.
Domer is vice president of the association
which, he states, recognizes the Galveston
cup, and has not sanctioned any other.
The published statements to the effect that
the Galveston cup will become the property
of the Fencibles. If they win it, for the
third time, at Memphis, is erroneous. The
Galveston cup is a perpetual trophy and
can never become the permanent property
of any organization.
