FOR LIBERAL PENSIONS.

Republicans in the House Would
Change the Present Laws.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The house
spent the day in further debate upon
the pension appropriation bill. The
speakers, with a single exception, were
all Republicans, and all favored lib
eral administration of the pension laws
and the adoption of the changes pro-
posed by the bill. Among the speakers
was General John A. Walker, who
served with distinction in the Confed-
crate army. He is the only Republican
representative from Virginia His as
surance of the good feeling that existed
in the South toward the Union soldier
and the lack of hostility toward the
pension system was warmly received
on both sides of the house. Mr.. Cum
minis (Dem., N. Y. created mild SEN
sation by severe arraignment of the
pension office for hostility toward the
old soldier. It seems probable that the
general debate on the pension bill will
continue for several days.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 16.-The CONNER
cial Gazette prints an article by Sena-
tor Hansbrough Of North Dakota, set
ting forth the claims of Senator Cush-
man K Davis of Minnesota for the
Republic nomination for president.
The sketch is largely biographical. COW
er4ng his growth with the great North
west, his war history and his long ex-
perience at the bar and his record in
public life. His abilities as publicist
are emphasized by an appeal to the
consideration shown him in the senate
in all matters pertaining to foreign re-
lations. His speech on Cleveland's
Hawaiian policy is mentioned as an ex-
ample of his frank fearlessness. On
the Monroe doctrine he is pronounced
thoroughly American, and his services
for debilitated and disabled survivors
Of the war are brought into prominence.

Sir Frank Lascelles, English ambassa-
dor at the court Of Berlin, has com.
municated substantially as follows TO
the foreign office: The German gov
eminent contend that the suzerainty Of
Queen Victoria over the Transvaal
Became Null aud Void
when the convention of 1884 was
signed. They deny absolutely that
they have any intention Of proelaiuaing
q protectorate over Transvaal and af.
firm that their interest In the pending
question is due to their desire to pro-
tect the great commercial interests
which they have in and to the vssS of
the Transvaal, an to the fact that in
their view the security of these inter
ests depends on the practical indcpen@
dence of the South African republio.
For these reasous tha Gorutou p0vNrn.

attempt was being made to re-annex

WINNIPEG, Jan. 16.-There is no
doubt in the minds of the Greenway

roasting the daily press and the money
power. Mrs. Lease of Kansas also
made short address, which was loudly
applauded.
The discussion of the business propo-
sition implied in farmers elevators"
was taken up. Frank Hoskins wanted
the farmers not only to build elevators,
but to go into the grain exporting bust
ness. L. S. Long of Mobiles county, the
state lecturer of the Alliance, told Of
his efforts to organize the Alliance ele-
vator companies and the splendid serv-
ice they had been wherever they were

Alliance elevators should ship their
wheat.

both at home and central markets, and
shat steps be taken through the State
Alliance officers to unite the whole
grain growing interests of the state in

state are today suffering from lack of
state aid, support at the expense of the
higher institutions of learning,
Resolved, That we demand this policy
be reversed aid that the common
schools be accorded the state attention
and support they are justly entitled to.
