THESE PENSIONS DENIED.
The President NetOes Two Private
Bills Pissed by COngress.

The President today sent to the Senate
vetoes of two Senate pension bills. The
first was in the case of Charles E. Jones' a
photographer. which attracted considerable
attention In the House. 1t is as follows:
ITO the Senate: l return herewith with
out my approval Senate bill No 243, en-
titled an act granting pension 10 Charles
f. Jones. The beneficiary named in this bill
was a photographer, who accompanied one
Of the regiments of the Union army in the
of the rebellion. He was injured, ap-
parently not very seriously, while taking
photographs and where no battle was in
actual progress He was not enlisted and
was in no manner in the military service
of the United States.
ASIDE from the question as to whether
his present sad condition is attributable to
the injury sustained, it seems to me the eX-
tension of pc lsion relief to such cases would
open the door to legislation hard to justify
and impossible to restrain from abuse.
'GRONE,R CLEN ELAND.''
The other veto was in the case of the bill
for a pension to Nancy c. Allabach. 1t pro-
vides for a pension for Mrs. Allabach, who
is the widow Of Peter H. Allabach, who
served in both the Mexican war and the war
of the rebellion, and who was for many
years captain of the Capitol police The
President calls attention to the fact that
Mr.. Allabach made no application for pen
C.
1T is not, he says, now claimed that he
was in the least disabled as an incident Of
his military service, nor is it alleged that
his death, which occurred nearly twenty
nine years after his discharge from the
army, was in any degree related to such
service He says the widow was pensioned
after her husbands death as the widow of
Mexican soldier, and that her case falls
under the general act of 1880. at is pro-
posed, however" he continues, 'by the spe-
cial act under consideration to give this
widow a pension of $50 a month without the
least suggestion of the death or disability
OF her husband having been caused by his
military service. and solely, so far as dis
coverable. upon the ground that she is poor
and needs the money. The condition is pre-
cisely covered by existing laws and If a pre-
cedent Is to be established by the special
legislation proposed. l do not see how the
same relief as is contained in this bill can
be denied to the many thousands of widows
Who In similar situa ton. are now on the
pension rolls under general laws.

CUBANS ARE WINNING,
Recent Arrival Reports the Condf-
tiOns I'm the Island

Little interest is taken by the Cuban SYM
pathizers in Congress in the proposed CON
cessions" to Cuba by Spain. A member of
the House foreign affairs committee, who
occupies very friendly relations with the
administration, said today that a gentle
man of standing who has arrived from Gu
ba within the past four five days repre-
sents the situation there in light which is
gratifying to those who want to see the
republic of Cuba fully esta blished.
This gentleman he said has thor
cGehly Informed himself to the progress
of the revolution, and he assures me that
there is no ground for doubt that the Gu
bans will achieve their full independence.
The Cubans have been more successful and
have greater power than is realized here
Of course, there is no possibility of the in
snrgents accepting the concessions Of
Spain. The press in this country does not
seem TO understand that the concessions
proposed by Spain are exactly what that
government proposed in '95. These con-
cessions' Were then proposed to the Gu
bans. After reading the proposition and
thoroughly understanding il they rejected
1t and began the revolution. 1t is not like
ly, after making the fight and while every
prospect of success is before them they will
accept the proposition which they rejected
before taking up arms

COUNCIL OF COLONIAL DANES.
Descendants of American Patriots
Meeting In Washington.

The biennial council of the National So
ciety of Colonial Danes was continued
at the Arlington Hotel today the dele
dates occupying the banqueting hall. The
morning and afternoon was passed in dis
cussing the amendments which have been
proposed to the constitution. They are
eight In number. The most important
one affects the status of the society In
changing the clause providing for the ELI
gibility of members. the desire being to
limit membership to those who are
descended from colonists who were active
In the affairs of their communities prior to
100. instead of lII6, at present There
was also discussion on the proposition to
limit to states only that were originally
colonies No final voIes were taken but
II is probable that none of the proposed
amendments will be adopted. as it needs a
unanimous vote OF the council to change
the constitution.
The committee on nominations for off,
GERS for the ensuing two years will make
Its report this evening. and 1t is under
stood that all the present officers will be
again chosen.

MONDAY MISSION MEETINGS
Eloquent Discourses by Rev. W. Hay Aitken
at Epiphany Church.
An Incisive COmparisO Today of Al

Meetings Arranged for the Week.

The monday meeting in the Eastertide
mission at Epiphany Church, conducted by
Rev. w. Hay Aitken, is attracting large
audiences daily. Being downtown church
1t is an easy and inviting opportunity to
scores OF business men to slip in to these
meetings, where. in the cool and restful
quiet OF one of the most artistic church
interiors in the city, they may listen to a
most eloquent ard forcble pulpit ora tor
Mr.. Atken is the general Superintendent
of the Church of England ParCchial Mis-
sion Society. He has conducted missions
III all parts of the civilized world, and
comes now TO the United States, after
having spent several months in Canada, to
held missions in New York, Philadelphia
and Washington. His discourseS have the
charm of eXtemporaneous speech and are
more conversational than oratcrical, and.
moreover, are steadily logical and convinc-
ing.
This noon he gave his hearers a refresh
iEg comparison of altruism with Chris
tianity.
THE altruist," says Mr.. Aitken, Says to
himself, Now l must not live entirely for
myself in this life. l must turn my back
Gil myself and en- what | desire for my own
qualification and work for others. Not for
God-for I do not believe in a God; not for
hereafter-for there is no hereafter in
my creed. l simply help others so that the
world may be the better for my having
lived in it That is all there is of altruism
Better thousand times than many forms
of belief. If you can't be Christian be an
aitruist. But why ask such a sacrifice of
any one? Why is it not the nobler, the
truer philosophy of life that we should do
these things for our brothers because we
are children of the one God? Because this
life Is an education: because, if we are be
ing educated, We are being educated for
something, and that is the hereafter-the
eternal life in the glory and presence of
God"

pect of further trouble, as the men are
swearing vengeance on each other.

NEWPORT, KY, April 22.-Mr and Mrs.
Alexander s. Bryan of Green Castle, Ind.
and all the members of their family, at
tended the trial of Scott Jackson today for
the murder of Pearl Bryan. There was a
very large attendance. Professor Edwin
Post of Depauw University, the brother-in-
law of Jackson. sat by his side.
Coroner W. F. Tingley was recalled. A
lay figure dressed In the clothing found on
Pearl Bryan's body was brought into court
but the bloody dress presented such a hor-
rible appearance that the objection Of the
defense was sustained.
Then Coroner Tingley identified each ar
ticle as the one on Pearl Bryan's body
when found near Fort Thomas. Mrs. STAN
ley, the sister of Pearl Bryan. testified to
the hat and other articles having been Sc
cured by Pearl Bryan at her store She
broke down as these articles were held up,
and there was quite scene.
Several other witnesses were called to
prove the appearance of the body when
found Then DR.. Carothers, who made the
post-mortem examination. gave his testi-
mony, as given before the coroner.
A peculiar feature developed Is the policy
of the defense to not cross-examine wit
1t sses. The only explanation is that the
defense of insanity is to be set up.

WITH HIS DISAPPROVAL.
The President Said to Be Displeasel
With the Agricultural BILL

1t is rumored at the Capitol that there
are features of the agricultural appropria-
ton bill which do not meet with the ap-
prevail of the President and Secretary Nor
ton and that the bill will not be signed by
the former. The ten days after the passage
of the act within which the President may
consider the bill and give it his approval
will expire Friday or Saturday. If the
rumor has foundation of truth and the bill
should become law in the manner indicated
it would furnish sensational precedent.
No similar action as 20 appropriation bills,
except with river and harbor bills, has it
is stated, been pursued by any President
Secretary Morton. when asked this after
noon by a Star reporter for what reason
the President withheld his approval, said.
systematically: Il don't know a thing
about it."
