whether pensions were legally gratuities
or constituted vested rights. Morally they
were higher than vested rights could be.
The spirit in which pensions should be
given should be broad, catholic and
humane. The old veteran should not be
placed in the position of a mendicant He
considered that the spirit in which the
pension laws were now being administered
was manifestly unfriendly to the soldier
In proof Of this he cited the case of n
soldier who had lost one arm and one leg
VINO was deprived of his pension under the
total disability act of 1890 because he was
able to earn $25 a month as guard at a rail-
read crossing.
Reason for the Amendment.
In the case of widows, under the act of
1890 the pension department ruled that If
her income exceeded 500 year she was
not entitled to pension. A soldiers widow
should not be obliged to stand shiverng and
starving at the door Of the pension office
In order to obtain pension, and, therefore,
an amendment to the present law requiring
that as a condition precedent to receiving a
pension she should prove that her net in
come should not exceed $500.
Mr.. Hemingway Qnd.) favored the adop-
tion or the Graft amendment prohibiting
the suspension of pensions until fraud had
been proven in United States court
He predicted, amid republican applause,
that In November next the people would
point loyal man from the north Secretary
OF the Interior to administer the pension
laws with justice and fairness to the old
soldiers.

Mr.. Birney's Statement to the Sen
ate District Committee.
REPLY TO TIE COMMISSIONERS LETTER
Unlawful to F Force the Payment of
License Tax.
OTHER DISTRICT MATTERS

Mr.. VIM. Birney, counsel for the Wash
ingten Market Company, has sent to Mr..
Mcmillan, chairman Of the Senate commit
tee on the District of Columbia, an answer
to the letter Of the Commissioners of the
9th instant regarding the removal of farm
ers and gardeners from one point Of B
street to another point on the same street.
Which, he says, seems to him to be mis-
leading as to facts and the law.
Mr.. Birney says the market company is
assailed from the beginning to the end of
the Commissioners answer, and says
This continued assault was not called
for, ard no pretext can be found for it,
either In the resolution of the Senate or
your inquiry
Mr.. Birney says the Commissioners an
swer failed to show that what was legal
on one part of B street was illegal on an
other. 1.-The Commissioners demonstrate to
their own satisfaction that farmers have
no right to sell their own produce without
a license except from door to door,; that if
they wish to stop in the streets and sell
they must have a vender's license, for
which, believe, the fee is $25. This is the
first time in the history of Washington
clared by any official, and so far as
know any lawyer. 1t is based, first upon
the absence of any law giving the farm
ers in express terms the right to stand
during market hours; second, upon strict
Interpretation Of article 222 of the Revised
Statutes of the District of Columbia. pro-
hibiting the occupancy of any public street
or public ground by any private persons or
for any, private purposes.
by the same kind of logic the Commits
sioners might easily prove that no citizen
has the right to ride horse >or drive a
vehicle or even walk upon any private
street. Certainly there is no statutory
grant Of such a right. For what purpose
let me ask, other than private one, does
any citizen use the streets?"
The Telephone Companies.
Commissioners have sent a communication
to Mr.. Mcmillan. chairman of the Senate
committee on the District of Columbia,
giving information regarding the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Company in
the District of Columbia, the only tele-
phone company here.
There are two additional companies now
seeking to do business in the District of
Columbia" the Commissioners say, name
ly, The Standard Telephone Company of
Washington and Baltimore City and The
Home Telephone Conrany Of Washington
City.
THE pre- sident Of this company" Com
company has secured contracts from over
3, 800 business men in and around Washing
ton to use it's system fer three years.

FINANCE, NOT WAR.

Today's Cabinet Meeting Wns Marked
by the Absence of Secretary Olney.
All of the members Of the cabinet We're

the White House early, and had an inter-
view with the President, lasting for half
an hour, before the cabinet assembled, and
then returned to the State Department,
where he had an Appointment with Senator
Sherman, the chairman of the Senate COM
1nfttee on foreign relations: This would
seem to indicate that foreign affairs did
not come up for consideration at the meet
ing It is generally understood that the

LIKE ALL RUMORS.
Minister Hatch Discredits the Alleged
Hawaiian Secession.

Relative to the story that the Island Of
Hawaii desires to secede, Minister Hatch of
the Hawaiian legation said to a Star re-
porter today that he did not think there
was the slightest vest,ge of truth in it.
THE story" said Mr.. Hatch, lis one of
those foolish yarns that drift up from Homo
lulu once in awhile. All we can do is to
await the arrival of the next steamer for a
confirma ton. BY that time the story is for
gotten, and nothing more is ever heard Of
it.
Hawaii is the largest island of the group
and probably the most populous, as 1t is
nearly as large as all the rest put to-
gether although it contains but one
town of any Importance. l fail to see any
possible motive for secession, even if I put
any- credence in the runor, but l hardly
think they are foolish enough to desire sew
eral different governments in the Hawaiian
Islands All l can say is that I have not
had any communication from Honolulu or
the subject, as / probably should have had
if there was anything in it,

Sick-poison is a poison that makes
you sick. 1t comes from the stom-
ach. The stomach makes it out of
undigested food.
The blood gets it and taints the
whole body with it. That's the way
of it.
The way to be rid of it is to look
after your digestion.
Ifyour food is all properly digest
ed, there will be none left in the
stomach to make poison out of.
If your stomach is too weak to
see to this properly by itself, help it
along with a few doses of Shaker

That's the cure of it.
