PETER ALSO DABnLEs1 IN PENSIONS
No Kansas Statesman Can Escape the
Overwh ming Pressure.

No Kansas Statesman Can Escape the
Overwhelming Pressure.
From the State Journals Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb "a bill will
shortly be Introduced by Senator PETER
to make certain class of pensioners who
have recently been dropped from the
pension roll eligible to the list. These
are ex-Confederates who were taken
prisoners and upon certain promises of
loyalty were released and entered the
service of the Union army.
II was a frequent occurrence during
the war that Confederates who were
taken prisoners afterwards enlisted in
the Federal army and were faithful sol
diers. Many OF this class now resident
in Kansas had been drawing pensions,
but when the present administration
came in it discovered that there was no
law justifying such pensions, and being
ever ready to cut down the pension list,
this class of pensioners was cut off.
Senator PETER recently had this state
of affairs brought to his attention by
letter signed by three ex- Confederates
who had served in the Union army under
the conditions before described, and he
gave it to Senator Hawley to have the
matter looked into. Senator HawIey
mislaid the letter, and Senator PETER has
no means of knowing who the men were
who wrote, and cannot, as his invariable
custym is, answer their letter, but he
will attend to their case in the bill which
he will soon Introduce.

WIN Build to Texas.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 5-The Republic this
morning says that new line from 81.
Louis to the southwest is likely to be
the result of the contemplated sepdra
ton of the Frisco from the
Santa Fe system. e. H. r Green,
president of the Texas Midland, and son
of the we'll known Hetty Green, was in
the city yesterday and had a conference
with Major Morrill, of the frisco and
other prominent railroad men.
He said to the Frisco people that, in
the event of the separation of that road
from the Santa Fe system, he was pre-
pared to use his own money and
his mothers in the construction
of a certain branch and aux
Hilary line, which would give
st. Louis an entrance into central Texas
by route many miles shorter than the
present routes. From St. Louis to Par
is, Tex, the Frisco line runs in a line,
which is more direct than any other
route. President Green proposed to
build from Greenville to Paris, Tex.

From the State Journals Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Representative
Broderick has introduced a bill in the
house which reorganizes the whole ju-
dicial system of the Indian Territory
The system has been very loose and it,
adequate and the judiciary committee
assigned to Mr.. Broderick the task of

The bill is very complete and is de-
signed TO check the lawlessness which
has been SO prevalent, in that country
For this purpose additional judges are
provided for and additional marshals
who shall have power to appoint as
many deputy marshals as shall be deemed
necessary for the enforcement of law.
One section of the bill is devoted to
tramps and their usual mode of trans
porting themselves from one point to
another. If the law should pass and
be enforced it will make ''bummin q
difficult and unsatisfactory The section
provides that any person who shall board
any railway train in the Indian Territory,
whether moving or standing, having no
lawful business thereon and not intend
ing in good faith to become passenger
thereon, but with intent to obtain a free
ride on such train however short the
distance, shall be guilty of a INSIDE
of not less than So nor more than 500,

After SEINE Year, Absence
If Manager Crawford continues to
bring attractions like Salyini aud Hnery

large audiences. This city never fails to
give a suitable reception TO the plays
brought here. If the show doesn't de-
serve an audience it doesn't get one and
if il does, the audience is there. 1t is
better to have tine opera house dark half
the time and make money when it Is
opened than to have it open all the
time with poor entertainments and lose
money.
Dixey in the Lottery of Love" will be
welcomed by large audience. possibly
as large as the Salvini one. Mr. Dixey
gives two pieces, curtain raiser. which
is the last act of his s'Seven Ages bur-
Iesque and afterwards the comedy,
Lottery of Love"
This year Mr. Dixey has broken away
from burlesque and has taken up legiti-
mate comedy in the same line with Ro-
land Reed, Nat Goodwin and others He
has had long and successful tour and
the people of this city will be glad to
welcome him again after an absence of
several years.

Great Britain at War.

Our purely defensive, strength rests
upon an assumed naval supremacy suffi-
cient to sweep all enemies from the seas
to such an extent at all events as to
insure us against the possibility OF be-
ing starved into submission, although
otherwise unbeaten. This necessarily
means that the navy must be in posi-
tion not only to guard home waters, but
also to undertake extensive operations,
offensive as well as defensive, upon ev-
cry sea. Any serious interruption OF our
trade would entail consequences almost
as disastrous as the complete stoppage
of our food supply. Whether the British
navy is or is not sufficiently strong not
only to guarantee the United Kingdom
against actual invasion, but also to pro-
tect adequately our immense volume OF
foreign trade, is matter OF opinion.
But even assuming that the desired con-
ditions can be accepted as actually ex-
listing it will scarcely be denied that ev-
cry ship set free from the task OF guard
ing our own shores must add an addi'
tional guarantee to the safety OF our
merchant ships abroad. 1t follows there
fore that il the army were in position
to prevent the possibility of success
full landing without the aid OF the ma
val forces the latter would enjoy free
dom OF action which they cannot have
while hampered by the milestone OF pos
81 BILE invasion hanging about their neoks.
It needs to be ever borne in mind that
however successfully and by whatever
means we secure ourselves against being
invaded, war upon such terms could not
continue indefinitely without at last
reaching the point at which we should
be obliged to choose between peace al
any price and ruin.-Broad Arrow.
