PENSION BILLS VETOED.
The President Gives his Reasons In
Two Peculiar Cases.

Two Peculiar Cases.
Washington, d. c., April IL
The President to-day sent to the
Senate vetoes OF two Senate pension
bills. The first was in the case Of
Charles E. Jones, photographer,
which attracted considerable atten-
ton in the House. 1t is as follows:
To the Senate return herewith
without my approval Senate bill No
249, entitled an act granting a pen
sion to Charles f. Jones. The bene-
fciary named in this bill was pho
tographer who accompanied one OF
the regiments of the Union army in
the war of the Rebellion. He was
injured apparently 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 bis present sad condition is
attributable to the injury sustained,
it seems to me the extension of pen
sion relief to such cases would open
the door to legislation hard to justi-
fy and impossible to restrain from
abuse.
(Signed) GROVER CLEVELAND.
Executive Mansion, April q, 1896.
The other veto was in the case of
the bill for pension to Nancy G.
Allabach. 1t provides for 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. The President calls

The Cost Of the Senate
Globe-Democrat.

Aho SoSt VI thC tJUh"tS'
Globe-Democrst.
The people are not generally aware
of the fact that the senate OF the
United States is one of the most ex.
pensive legislative bodies in the
world. They know that each ssna.
tor has salary Of $4,000 a year,
which is certainly not very extrava-
giant; but this stipulated aud reason
able compensation constitutes only
a part of the aggregate cost of the
senate. The expense apart from
salaries is S4,S83 per member, which
is to say that, with the salary includ-
ed, each senator costs the country
S9,SS3 per year. In Great Britain
and in Germany the same class of
officers not only get no salaries, but
have to pay all of their Incidental
expenses out of their own pockets;
and in France member of the
chamber of deputies gets only
$1,S00 per annum. 1t can hardly be
claimed that our senators earn more
than men performing like service in
other countries, or that thev have
an exceptional value for ornamental
purposes. They receive $4,000
apiece for the work that they do,
and there is no room for complaint
about that; but in order to get the
work done an expenditure Of nearly
as much more is made. This is
surely an exorbitant sum to pay for
things which the senators consider
necessary in the procession OF legis.
lation.
There is no desire that mon in the
public service stall work for nothing
or deprive themselves of ordinary
comforts and conveniences; but
when salary of $4,000 a year is
paid, there is certainly no excuse for
nearly doubling the expense in that
relation. These expenditures are
constantly increasing in the senate.
That is to say, the senators are con-
stantly making themselves a more
costly luxury, without any CORES
ponding gain to the country in the
way of improved service Or other
wise. There is obvious need of re-
trenchment and reform in this mat.
ter. The senators should contrive
to get along without some of the
things for which the people are now
paying beyond the amount of the
regular salaries. They have an op-
portunity to practice the economy
which they are SO fond of preaching
by cutting down their own expenses.
The average cost of a representative
1899 in excess of the salary, and the
people cannot be made to believe
that a senator needs or deserves
S4,SS3 in addition to his salary. To
be sure, the position is one of great
dignity and responsibility. but it is
not one that iustifes extravaganza
in the use of public money. The tax.
payers have right to protest when
it takes almost as much to pay the
incidental expenses of the senators
as it takes to pay their salaries, and
it is to be hoped that steps will be
taken to bring about proper re-
duction.-Globe Democrat.

1t is Put to the Strain by American
Tariffs.
LONDON, July 4.-The Daily Telegraph,
in the course of a long article on Anglo
American relations says:
Nothing but the good wishes and God
speed Of Englishmen will attend our
American kinsmen in the celebration of
their national festival today. We appre-
ciate their sturdy virtues ard admire their
wonderful progress, and we augur for them
future even more marvellous than the
past"
The article suggests, however, that friend
liness could be more effectually safeguard
ed by a cessation of the twisting of the
lions tail, 1.-The vertebrae of which are not
incapable Of dslocation."
Continuing, the Daily Telegraph says,
with reference to the hostility of Ameri-
can tariffs to England: "It Is not pleasant
even to men of overflowing Christian
charity to reflect that their commerce is
languishing and their prosperity declining
through the policy of a nation to which
they so sincerely wish we'll. Americans are
not likely to renounce protectionism for the
sake of their English kinsmen, but they
cannot be surprised If the increasingly
rigid application Of its doctrines should
have to some extent an estrangtng effect
upon the English people,"

When he at last opened the door he saw

SOME FINE COTTON.
A New Variety Which Promises to Rev
olutionlze Cotton Raising.

A New Variety Which Promises to Rev.
olutionize Cotton Raising
At the Birmingham Loan company's
yesterday afternoon a State Herald re-
porter was shown stalk of cotton en-
tirely new of it's kind, and which prom
ises to revolutionize cotton growing in
this country. The stalk was feet high,
and had fifty-five open bolls and not
single leaf or branch.
On examination of the stalk it was
found that the bolls, which grew in clus-
ters, came out of the stalk, and the whole
plant, cotton, bolls and all, did not occupy
a width in its thickest place of over IL
inches.
The cotton is said to have been found
in the interior of Africa, and only a few
of the seed were brought to America by
Jew who visited the dark continent
years ago. He gave the seed to a farmer
living near Atlanta, and told him of the
popularity of the plants growth. The
farmer planted the seed and watched
them carefully. Some of the stalks grew
to be and 10 feet high, and were literally
covered with bolls. The Atlanta Consti-
tuition of the 10th devotes "a column and a
half to this wonderful product, and pre-
diets that when 1t becomes sufficient in
quantity to find its way into all the cot
ton growing states the cotton industry
will be great item to the farmer. The
fact, this paper states, that the stalk oc-
cupies such small space will enable the
farmer to devote less space to cotton and
more to cereals.
The reporter was shown one stalk from
which the cotton had been stripped, which
measured nearly 10 feet. The cotton is
curiosity, and is worth seeing.

HE IS ASKED THE QUESTION DIRECT

Nashville, Tenn, Oct 23.--Populst Can
didate Thomas E. Watson was met here
today by National Populist Committee
man Washburn, and, in conjunction with
local populists, held a conference lasting
several hours. All those in the conference
are very close mouthed about what was
done. Mr.. Washburn said he simply laid
before Mr.. Watson the result of his con-
ference with Chairman Jones. He said
that since the conference with Chairman
Jones fusion had been refused the pop
ulists in several states, and therefore
nothing of any Importance occurred to-
day He said things would remain in
statu quo to the end of the campaign.
Candidate Watson spoke here tonight
to an audience of 1000. He reiterated his
opposition to fusion, and attacked Mr..
Sewall. He said he proposed to do all he
could to elect Bryan, but could not, with
out violation of principle, assist in the
election of Sewall
ANOTHER VERSION.
1t is believed that as result of the
conference between Populst Committee
man Washburn, acting for Senator Jones,
and Populist Committeeman Reed of
Georgia and Thomas Il. Watson, that
Watson will withdraw.
The three were in conference all day
and again tonight after Watson's speech.
Mr.. Watson was called out of the confer
ence by a reporter of the Daily Sun and
was asked If he intended to withdraw.
He absolutely declined to say anything
one way or the other, but added that he
might have something important to say
tomorrow.
In Mr.. Watsons speech tonight he did
not declare, as at other places, that he
would not withdraw. He said nothing on
the subject.

Chinese Legation Releases the Doctor on
Salisbury's Demand.
London, Oct. 23.-London friends of the
Chinese physician Sun Vat Sen, who a
few days ago was seized by an emissary
of the Chinese legation and is still de-
tanned at the legation as a Chinese politi-
cal prisoner, say the authorities of the
British foreign office knew nothing what
ever of the Imprisonment of Sun Vat Sen
until informed by his friends. Detectives
in the employ of the foreign office are con-
stantly on the watch in the vicinity of the
Chinese legation in order to prevent the
smuggling of the prisoner out of the
country. The case will be referred to the
legal authorities of the crown. The Chi
nese authorities now make no secret of
the fact that Sun Vat Sen is prisoner It
the legation, and contend that they can
do what they like with a Chinese subject
within the Chinese legation, which is Chi
nese territory to all intents and purposes.
The British, on the other hand, maintain
that the rights of foreign legations are
protective only as regards their lawful
inmates, and are in no sense administra-
tive.
Lord Salisbury has made a demand up
on the Chinese legation for the release of
Sun Vat Sen.
The demand of Lord Salisbury was
complied with and Sun Yat Sen was re-
leased from the legation at O'clock this
afternoon
