INVALID PENSIONS.

Conference of Members of the House
Committee With Speaker Reed.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-There was
a long conference in Speaker Reed S
committee room to-day, at which were
also present Messrs. Dingley of Maine,
Dalzell of Pennsylvania, Hayne Of New
York and Picker Of South Dakota
Members of the Invalid Pensions Com
mittee have recently completed a gen.
eral administrative pension bill de-
signed to facilitate the allowance of
pensions. It's most important feature
is one which restores the rating on pen
sons under the law of 1890, which was
in vogue under Harrison's Administra-
ton. 1t replaces on the rolls the men who
have been dismissed and re-establisheS
the pensions of those who have been
reduced by the Office. 1t further pro-
vides that no person shall be discon-
tinued or reduced hereafter except for
fraud or recovery from the disability
The bill will, if enacted into a law, in
crease the pension budget between $2,-
O0O, 900 and $3,OOO,0O0 annually.
The purpose of the conference was to
consider this measure, correct it's
phraseology where necessary and so
perfect it's legal form as not only to Sc
cure it's passage through Congress, but
the Presidents approval as well. 1t
was decided that the section relating
to vicious habits should be so changed
as to require that proof should be fur
nished that the disease on which a pen
sion is asked should not be due to

The Mount st. Bernard Dogs.

Baron Jordis, the principal breeder of
st. Bernard dogs in Austria, publishes
letter from the Prior of the ST. Ber-
nard Hospice on the subject of the
present value of these dogs. You ask
me whether in the present day our
hounds render the same service to
travellers as are usually ascribed to
them," writes the Prior. Certainly
they do. They in nc way belle their
past. In winter they are absolutely in
dispensable to us. not only because
they still find wanderers buried in the
snow, but because they are the only
guides who can lead us safely along
the proper track in the wild mountain
snowstorms. The only difference is
that they do not now carry basket or
a flask fastened to their neck; these are
borne by one of the brothers OF the Hos
picet minister Gazette.

round glove contest between Joe
Choynski and Tom Sharkey came off
this evening at the Peoples Palace
Theater The fight commenced shortly

sumed the aggressive from the start,
while the sailor played defensive
game.
Toward the end of the first round
Sharkey hit Joe an unintentional blow
in the groin, which doubled him up It
was fully ten minutes before he recov-
cred. The remaining seven rounds were
almost a repetition of the first, Sharkey
remaining on the defensive throughout.
He was sent on all fours at least a dozen
times.
The last round was little lively, but
eventually the referee awarded the con-
test to Sharkey, Choynski having failed
to stop his opponent in the stipulated
number of rounds. The betting closed
with Choynski favorite at 10 to 8.

RAGING FLAMES.

Forest Fires In Massachusetts, Burn
ing Ffercely.
SANDWICH (Mass.), April 16-The
forest fire is still raging fiercely all
around the town, and is gaining great
headway in spite Of the efforts Of the
large force Of fighters who are making
heroic efforts to check it. ForeStdale,
cne of the villages of Sandwich, was
this morning entirely surrounded by
fire.
Judging from the direction the fire is
taking at present, several of the houses
in the village of East Sandwich may re-
ceive a scorching at least. At the other
end of the fire. in the western part OF
the town, the flames have approa ched
10 within a few miles of the boundary
lines and are making very rapid pro-
gress. 1t is mere guesswork to try to
form any idea as to when the fire will
be checked. It is spreading in every
direction.
Old men who have lived here all their
lives say that they never saw such a
confiagration before, and the loss OF
woodland will be greater by far than
ever before.
Word was received this afternoon
that the summer residence of DR.. Wes-
selhoeft at Sandwich has been burned
The residence of James Lowell also
caught fire, but the flames were eXtin-
guiShed.
