SENATE PROCEEDINGS.


ing pension of $75 monthly to the widow
of the late Brigadier General Coggswell,
a representative in congress from Massa-
chusetts at the time of his death, caused
long debate in the senate today.
Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Mills wanted infor-
nation as to the system pursued in grant
ing these special pensions and Mr.. Allen
(P0p) OF Nebraska opposed the discrimi-
nation, saying II want to go on record
as opposed to any discrimination between
the widow of the private soldier and that
OF brlgadier generals, major generals or
any other"
1t vas plain soldier, he added, who
met the brunt of the war; To hear sem
ators talk, it would be thought that brig
adler generals won the war. 1t was an
un-American discrimination,
MI. Hoar asked if Mr. Aliens logic
lead him to approve placing the salary
OF General Miles, commander of the army,
at S13 per month.
1T would doubtless measure the value
OF his services III many cases." answered
Mr.. Allen.
Mr.. Hoar asked if the Nebraska sena-
tor did not pocket $4,000 year, while
some poor constituent made only rs cents
a day"
"At least pocket no more than $4,000"
replied Mr.. Allen, suggestively, and added
that senators talked as though God made
some distinction between the general and
the soldier.
Mr.. Thurston Rep) of Nebraska made
his maiden speech in the senate in sup
port OF pensions and eloquently portrayed
the. services of his deceased father as n
pam soldier. He urged that the war
heroes have the amplest pensions.
-, Mr; Ihurston expressed satisfaction
lhat his first words in the senate sbould
be IN support of a pension.
This bill (the CoggswelD instead of
having its allowance reduced, should serve
10 advance the allowance of all who
served in the war.
Mr. Villas said the senate would certain
y snow full justice in granting pensions.
'ut he pointed out that certain peculiar
Influences prevailed resulting in discrim-
nations in pensions to widows of officers
yhlch bore severely on the old soldiers,
md they felt it.
The suggestion of peculiar Influences
vas hotly resented by Mr.. Long.
A motion by Mr.. Allen to reduce the
llowance to $50 was not agreed to-23
0 36-the Democrats, with some excep-
ions, supporting the motion, and all the
voting against it. The bill
vas then passed without division.

A Bill Granting Widow of General Coggs-

the Senate After Warm De-

THE SENATE.

Washington, Jan. 14.-The bond silver
bill was further considered in the senate
today, but without approach to con-
clusion of the debate. Mr.. Butler of
North Carolina spoke for two hours in
opposition to the bond issues and in favor
of silver legislation. The early hours of
the session brought out an extended con-
troversy over pension Determinations,
Mr.. Lodge sought to pass bill granting
a pension to the widow of General Coggs-
well, but Mr.. Allen led vigorous oppo-
sition, claiming that the widows of gen.
erals were being Disseminated for, against
the widows of plain soldiers The bill
was finally passed.
Mr.. Mills offered resolution declaring
against the policy of the government of
issuing bonds, favoring the speedy extinc-
tion of the National debt and for the coin
age of silver bullion in the treasury.

SHE LoNGED TO BE A MAN.

There are times in my life when l
long to be a man that 1 may sail in
and do better with my fists! tits such
a thwarting, unsatisfactory thing to be
a we'll behaved and decorous women
when you loug to be a son Of thunder
and take the trail! 1 was standing
for shelter in the doorway Of a Chi
cago depot. 1t was raining IN that
easy, delightful way that reminds one
of impulsive people when they talk.
There was no holding back, no reserve,
no attempt to ba noncommittal and
conservative. It rained q pint to
every square inch, and an umbrella
was of less use than q fork is ia eating
gravy.
Well, as I stood in the shelter of
the doorway very queer specimen
of remotely rural life stepped into
view. He had just got out of some
tram ard was at loss what to do in
the big city. His clothes were blue
and new and ill fitting. His face was
tanned and his smile was both depre-
eating and tlmid, He carried a little
bundle, and his trouser legs were
rolled up over pair of laced shoes
No sooner had be appeared upon the
scene than a bevy of depot hangers-on
bore down upon him. Some of them
were cabbles and more Of them loaf
ers.
They surrounded him as big blue
bottle flies get around a honey pot,
They bent the head and talked low;
the winked furtively and laughed at
each other behind the poor boys back.
He took a slip of paper from his
pocket and showed it to them, and
two of them, with a great show OF
frlendliness, walked him away be-
tween them l wanted to follow
them mp, but as usual, didn't dare to,

A CoMMENDABLE ELL.

An intelligent population 10 vital
thing to a republic; therefore the bill
to exclude ignorant and unlntelligent
immigrants from this country, which
has recently been recommended in the
United States senate by the senate
immigration committee, is important
and commendable. The bill provides
that no alien over fourteen years of
age who cannot read or write his ma
tive language, except aged persons
who are parents or grandparents of
an admissible immigrant, and are
provided for by him, shall be admitted
to any part of the United States. 1t
is that person who cannot either
read or write his own language is not
likely to master that of his adopted
country. Entirely ignorant of our
institutions, this llliterate foreign
population, which gathers chiefly i'll
the sea board cities, presents to un-
principled politicians an easy instru-
ment for political corruption. More
over, being made up of the lowest
classes in Europe, many of the indi-
vidusls in it become either paupers or

In a little watering place in the
mountains OF Switzerland, called
Helden, lives venerable man OF
neaSg seventy. Henri Dunant the
founderand author of the great in-
ternational treaty which at Geneva
in 1864, and at Berlin IN 1868, bound
the civilized nations of earth into q
compact of mercy, Henri Dunant
was born in Geneva, and when still a
bow he was a member Of the society
founded to aid the poor and unfortu'
nate in his city, Before he had at
tanned his majority he began to con-
slider the formation of a great inter-
national league for the alienation OF
the suffering, The great need of this
became more apparent after the AUS
tro- Franklsh campaign, when he
wrote a book called "A Souvenir OF
Solferino," which made deep inn
preston and gave the FIRST impulse to
the organization OF the Red Cross
Society. AS result Of Henri Dun
ants enthusiasm and energy military
leaders became Interested IN his idea,
and finally it was brought before the
Royal families of Europe, they APP
proved Of it emphatically and gave
its protector valuable aid and en-
couragement. This was particularly
true Of King William of Prussiaj in
1868 at Berlin was held the conven-
ton in which all Of the states which
had not been parties to the treaty
drawn up at Geneva in 1864, joined
in an agreement to recognize as neu-
trails in war the wounded and the
military and volunteer physicians
who attend them. This was a long
stride toward humane and merclful
methods of warfare and it was Henri
Dunant, now neglected and obscure,
who accomplished the unprecedented
achievement.
