Cal, in reference TO the condition OF things in
the Soldiers Home at Santa Monica. From
this it appears that the Home is full to over

quarters occupied aud 40 men sleeping on the
floor. The Home mas not blankets enough for
all its inmates, and there are more than 200
veterans ia the State who have applications on
file, many Of them for months, but who
cannot be admitted. Many of these are badly
wounded or disabled, and a number are nOn-
pensioned. The Board has made it a rule TO
refuse admission 10 all who arc receiving SIG
month pension or more, in order to reserve
what accommodations the Home has for the

Representative Linton, of Michigan. the
leader of the A. p. A. sentiment in the House,
received some days ago letter from Capt.
Thomas Phelsn, of Kansas City, the well-known
Irish agitator, in which Pbelap challenged him
TO fight duel at Blsdenshurg. the challenge
being preceded by long denunciation of Mr..
Linton's course in opposing the church school
appropriations and the placing of the statue of
Father Marquette in the Capitol Mr.. Linton
says: " Ever since the House defeated the ap-
preparations for sectarian institutions in the
District of Columbia bill, partly through my
efforts, my mail has been loaded with great
numbers of letters from religious fanatics and
cranks denouncing me violently, threatening
dire vengeance and death in various forms.
All of these letters / have thrown into tho
waste basket. Fighting duels is not in my line.
That sort Of performance is considered rather
ridiculous by Americans of this generation"

1t is curious how little the average mater

for the price of spring chicken, perhaps.
The babies are bought by the mothers of

CHALLENGED BY PHELAN,
Representative Linton Of Michi.
gan Called Upon to Fight

Since He Opposed Appropriations for

Been Threatened.

NEW YORK, n. Y, March IA Jour
nal special from Washington says: Cap
tain Thomas Phelan, resident of Kansas
City, well known as broadsword fighter
and at one time famous as friend of Ire
land, who was stabbed in the Office of
O'Donovan Rosa by body of assassins
there in hiding to kill him, has issued a
challenge to Representative Linton of
Michigan to fight duel az Bladensburg.
Captain Phelan based his challenge on
Linton's connection with the American
Protective Association and with his at
tempt to prevent the unyeiling of the Mar
quette statue in the Capitol.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 14-Rep-
resentative Linton of Michigan is not in
the least disturbed by the letter written
him several days ago by Thomas Phelan
of Kansas City. To a United Press re-
porter Mr.. Linton this morning said that
since the pronounced opposition taken by
him some weeks ago to appropriations for
sectarian schools his mail has been filed
with letters from cranks all over the coun-
try threatening his life. Phelan's letter
was regarded by him as belonging to this
class of communications. and it was con-
temptuously tossed into the waste basket
as soon as It's contents had been hastily
scanned. Mr.. Linton said that since the
text of PheIan's letter had been made pub
lie through sources other than himself he
might find it advisable to notice it..
Whether he will do SO or not is a question
which he will determine later.

ton Captain Hooper said:
''lf seals cannot be protected, certainly
am in favor of the bill now before Con-
gress, which provides for their extermina-
ton. Bering Sea and its seals, by right
and Justice, belong to the United States,
and if the seals cannot be longer protected,
they should be killed under the direction
OF our Government, as provided by this
bill.
'Under the recent condition of affairs y
Captain Hooper concluded, Canadian
pelagic sealers are reaping the most benefit
from the Bering Sea seal, while we derive
but little"
Captain Hooper said he had not been
advised as to whether he would be ordered
to command the Bering Sea fleet again
this year.
