lection lines.
There was a general expression of
opinion that the bill whether amended
or not amended by the senate never
would become a law. Several senators
expressed the opinion that it could
not receive the executives sanction.
After the conclusion Of the tariff bill
an effort was made to pro-
coed to the consideration of re-
organization Of the senate by the
election Of general officers, but the
meeting adjourned without taking up
this proposition. Immediately after ad-
journment call was circulated for a
caucus tomorrow to consider this ques-
ton and 1t is understood that sufficient
signatures will be secured to insure a
caucus for that purpose at the time
specified.

PERTAINING TO PENSION MATTERS
Case OF Moscow Man-Spokane Minors
Remembered.

Washington, d. G., Jan. 8.-Melvin A.
Carey, of Moscow, Idaho, has been for
a long time drawing a pension of s.
per month under the old law. About
four years ago he made application for
an increase, as he supposed, but it
appears from a record in the pension
bureau that he really made an appli-
cation for a pension under the DISABLE
ity act Of 1890. No action having been
taken by the department, on account Of
insufficient evidence, Mr.. Carey re-
Gently asked Representative Doolittle
to find out the cause of the delay. He
has now been notified that in case he
completes the required evidence in his
pending claim, he will receive but Sc
month, and at the same time his pres
ent pension of So a month will be stop
ped. AS 1T is not likely that the soldier
will wish reduction, he will undoubt-
edly upon receipt of the notice which
has been sent out, waive his claim un-
der the act of 1890, and so inform the
commissioner. Mr.. Doolittle has advis-
ed him to make application, however,
for an increase under the old law.
An original widows pension has been
allowed the minor children of Emanuel
c. Deas of Spokane.
Manuel F. Sidelinger, Of Grass Val
ley, CAL, formerly resident of Spo-
kane, has just been allowed PEN
sion at So a month, dating back to the
18th of September, 1894.

GREAT NEED OF COAST DErEN 20
Large Amount OF Money Must We Appr'
prated- In Other Committees.

large Amount OF Money Must lie Appro'
priated lin Other Committees.
WASHINGTON, JAM ga meeting of the
committee on coast defense was helo
this morning. General Craighill, chler
engineer, and Captain Black Of the en-
gineer corps, made an important stare
ment.
General Craighill explained to the
committee the great need Of additional
appropriations for coast defenses, and
stated the amount which could be
economically and profitably expended
by the bureau of engineers for that pur-
pose during the fiscal year ending June
30, 1896, also large additional amount
for each year thereafter until the COM
pletion of the project of the govern
ment. The defenseless condition of
the seacoast cities was explained, show
ing that the amount proposed in Sena-
tor Squire's bill for coast defenses not
only was justified, but ABSOLUTELY re-
quired.
Senator Cullom today introduced two
bills, one for the construction of two
steam revenue cutters for service on the
great lakes and the other for two SIM
liar vessels for service on the Pacific
coast.
The subcommittee Of the house ap-
preparations committee having charge
of the pension bills has decided to in
crease the amount for the next fiscal
year from $13s, ZOO, 900 to $40, 600, 900, the
amount asked for by Commissioner
Lochren in his estimates.

There is a genuine fat boy at

native named Daniela, twenty-one
years Of age, and weighs 345
pounds. Daniela was brought in
with a fever four or five months
ago, and when the fever left him
crick in the ankle held him to
the institution. He is an accom-
plished violinist, and plays in the
hospital quartet or quintet as the
case may be. One remarkable
feat Of Daniela's is to improvise
bass violin with his hand on a
table, drawing the bow across the
muscles connecting the thumb
and fore finger. The musical re-
