IN THE SENATE.
PETERS Scheme Tor Pensioning Every Sur,
viyor OF The War OF the Rebellion.

Washington, Jan. I'm the Senate,
PETER read an elaborate argument advo-
eating his bill for service pensions.
PETERS bill provides that every person
now living who served in the military or
naval service of the United States during
the Rebellion and was honorably dis
charged, who has not received n pension
by reason of such service, and has no APP
plication for pension pending, will be en-
titled to a monthly pension equal to a
cent for every day of such service. Those
who We're prisoners of war shall receive
an additional amount equal to a cent for
every day of Imprisonment. Said pen
sions shall continue during the lifetime
of the pensioners and to their widows dur
ing their widowhood.
PETER stated that the number of men
furnished to the Union army by the
several states and territories during the
war who actually served, was 2, les, g4S.
The number killed in action is given as
4l42 officers, 62,9l6 enlisted men; died
from wounds received in action, 1928 Off
GERS. 10, 7S9 enlisted men; died of disease,
2795 officers, 22l, 79l enlisted men.
Alive at the close of the war, estimated
at /. 127, 353; alive June 80, 1898, at L.
209, 96S. An estimate of the number that
will be alive June 80, lS9, was /, 154, S19.
As the number now drawing pensions
is 49,, 35S. there would be, according to
this estimate, Az, i52 survivors to be pen
stoned under the proposed bill. The esti-
mated aggregate of pensions under this
bill is Sil, 321, 74S, or a total for II years,
the average estimate of the continuance OF
suf.h pensions of S1g2 III 7f6 Total
amount of pensions paid since and includ-
ing 1866, 81, 3,2i0, 500. PETER closed
with an appeal to the Senate to pass the
bill.

EUGENE DEB'S CASE.
Motion to Quash Will Be Denied and The
Trial Must Go On.

Chicago, Jan. Judge Grosscup, to-
day, announced that he would render a
decision in the proceedings to quash the
indictments for conspiracy against Eugene
V. Dcbs and Others tomorrow afternoon.
He indicated that he would deny the
motion to quash and told the counsel to be
ready to go on with the trial. The several
motions for separate trials were denied.
Tomorrow morning, Dcbs and the other
officers and directors of the American
Railway Union, with the exception of
McVeen, will go to Jail and a writ of ha
beas corpus will be applied for before
Judge Woods. If he denies the writ the
case viii be at once taken to the supreme
court In the latter case the conspiracy
trial is certain to be postponed.
After adjournment of the court of ap
reals, Judge Woods, sitting as circuit
Judge, informed the attorney for the de
PENDANTS and government, that he would
override the application for a writ of
habeas corpus, rs he could not review his
own decision and allow an appeal direct
to the supreme bench.
1 Judge Woods added that he was not
disposed to enforce the Imprisonment of
the defendants, but would remand them
to the custody of the marshal and when
the stay of the execution expired, tomor-
row, that officer would undoubtedly use
his own discretion. -

A RACE ASSURED.
Royal Yacht Club Accepts Custody of
Cup If Dunraven Wins.
At Least Two 5oats Will Be Built 10 Defend
the Cup.

New York, Jan. "A yacht
race for 1895 is assured, the Royal
Yacht Club having decided to ac-
cept the custody of the cup, if won, and
the following was sent to the New York
Yacht Club, Monday: eve cable you, to-
day, the result of a special meeting of the
Royal Yacht Squadron and conclude that
the challenge is definitely settled
AS the matter now stands Lord Dunraven
has the right to ask that the first race be
set for eight months from Monday or
Sept. e. As that date comes on Saturday
he will probably suggest Sept. 10 or IL for
the first race Whatever date is selected
it will be subject to postponement in, case
the new Valkyrie does not arrive in time
to allow Lord Dunraven three weeks to
fit her for the contest.
There is greater general Interest in the
proposed race than preceded the former
contests. There will be at least one new
cup defender built, and there may be
several George Gould is expected to
bring over the Vigilant, which is winter
ing in England, and he may enter one of
the syndcates talked of. In Philadelphia
there is talk of forming a syndicate and
building a keel boat to compete for the
honor of meeting the Valkyrie.
At least one New York syndicate will
be formed. Vice Commodore Morgan of
the New York Yacht Club, will be at the
head of it. This syndicate viii go to
Hcrrcshofrs' for Il boat, and the build
crs of the Vigilant will be asked to furnish
"a yacht that will outsnil her
The final races, like those of 1893, will
be outside of sandy Hook. There will be
three races each over 30 mile course.

Fortunate Discovery of a Fire
at China Village.
Portland Foot Ball Team Does Not
Get NJ. |. S. A. A. Pennant,
Bnt Merely Private Gilt from a Gentleman
Of That City.

China, Jan. 7.-(SpcciaD. Sunday at
about 4.30 p. NJ, A. B. Fletcher went to
his store to start Il fire as usual on that
day, and on opening the door found the
store filed with thick smoke and dis
covered fire running in the floor around
the stove, or rather where the stove was.
Instantly closing the door, he went to the
hotel across the street and got water and
help, and returning, was able to put
out the flames.
The fire had burned a hole completely
through the floor about six feet square,
burning off the timbers on which the floor
rested. The stove had dropped through
into the cellar The lack of Il draft must
have been the only reason why it had not
spread over the store.
The damage is covered by insurance.
Had the store burned, the &. A. Il. hall,
n large two story building, would have
been doomed, and possibly other build
ings. The cause of the fire is thought to
have been from IA wooden cuspidorc near
the stove, in which cigar stubs or
matches had been thrown.
