lapertant Pension Ruling-An feeh-
.nicalitfes Wiped Out.

Copies of m important pension ruling
made by Webster Davis, Of the pensior
of5ce, in which the law Of 1890 Is con.
|strued, have been received. The deci.
sion and the construction Of the law Il
IN important matter in connection with
the filing of claims for pensions. The
Law of 1880 provides pension for every
man who served ninety days or more in
the rebellion who is now disabled and
whose disabilities are not the result OF
vicious habits.
The law clearly stated the conditions
that would give.a pension. but was silent
as to what sort Of application should be
made. The work Of getting pensions has
been very much retarded since that time
by the technical rulings and captious &C.
tons OF officers. All techni:alities are
wiped out of the way aud the road made
j,st as the law makers evidently intend
ed it should be by the ruling made BY
MIR. Davis. He has adopted q set of
rules for the guidance of the applicants.
The rules make it necessary for the appli.
cation to contain statements of service,
with dates and all other necessary int0r-
nation, and provide that any omissions
may be covered by supplemental state
ments. If the paper fails to state it was
intended to come under that act, this
can be made in a supplemental declara-
ton.
Should the medical examination develop
any infirmity that was not known to the
claimant it shall be the duty of the
claimant to state under oath where and
how he received the injury or contracted
the disability. If the wound or disabil-
ity existed at the time Of the claimant
making his original statement and is not
traceable to vicious,habits it is to be con-
sidered as part of the original applica-
ton; but should it be shown to have been
contracted subsequent to the original
claim the Increase of pension shall be
dated from the time such disability was
contracted. If it is of a character to
justify higher rating, and if the disa-
bility cannot be ascertained it is to be
taken as the date when it was discovered.
After an original pension has been gran
ted increase must be based on increased
Interpretation.
The ruling is said to be very liberal
and strictly in harmony with the obvious
spirit of the law as framed by congress

forget the fact that you get three
pounds less than you formerly got
for your dollar, and don't forget that
other fact that this three pounds that

of the sugar trust under the Dingley
tariff"

 In the house the tariff bill was reported back from the ways and means commit tee, and an order was adopted for taking the final vote on March 3l. The sundry civil and general deficiency appropriation bills were passed.
 WASHINGTON, March 28.--In the senate yesterday the committee amendments to the Anglo American arbitration treaty were adopted. A resolution calling for the correspondence in the Ruiz case was agreed to, and many bills were introduced.
 In the house the dehate on the tariff bill was opened by Mir. Dfngley, who spoke in favor of the measure. Mir. Wheeler of Ar. kansas opened the debate on the part of the Democrats in opposition to the bill. The minority report in opposition to the Dingley bill was presented by Mir. Bailey of Texas. It urges that the bill Is essen tially 8 protective measure and holds that protective tariff is an unjust system of raising revenue; that 1t discriminates in favor of the manufacturer and against the laborer, fosters trusts and encourages ex. travaganoe and does not equitably distrib- ute the burden of taxation. It is also claimed by the minority that the proposed law provides for the raising of vastly more revenue than is needed for the economical administration of the government.

Two Bills Looking Toward Statehood For
 Greater New York.

Two Bills Looking Toward Statehood For
 Greater New York.
 ALBANY, March ss.-The Republican leaders from the interior of the state have argued that the greater New York was the first step toward the creation of a separate state, and Assemblyman Trainor will jus tify their fears by introducing two bills looking toward the union In new state of the counties of New York, Kings, Rich mond, Queens, Suffolk, Westchester and Putnam.
 The first bill gives consent required by section of article of the constitution of the United states for the formation of a new sbate out of that territory within those counties.
 The second bill provides that at the next general election held in this state there shall be submitted to a vote of the duly qualified electors of the above counties the question, "F or the formation and consti- tuition of an independent state." and for this purpose there shall be provided by the proper authorities in each election district therein a separate ballot as re- quired by the provisions of chapter 909 of the laws of 1896, entitled "An act In rela- ton to the elections constituting chapter of the general laws"
 Within ten days after the votes upon this question have been canvassed and re- turned the secretary of state shall make and file in his office the result of said vote of each county.

Tsrir Debate In House.

WASHINGTON, March 24.--Although sew eral sharp passages at arms somewhat en- livened the tariff debate in the house, the brilliant speech of Mr. Deliver of Iowa was distinctly the overshadowing feature of the day. It shone out through the weary, monotonous gloom which has co far pervaded the debate like locomotive headlight in fog. Mir. Deliver Is a fin- ished orator, and his speech was a master piece of forensic eloquenoe. Roplete with wit and glowing periods, it alternately aroused his Republican colleagues to un- bounded enthusiasm and convulsed the and adroit in the use of the foil, and the Democrats refrained from interrupting him.
 MT. McLaurin, Democratic member oi the ways and means committee from South Carolina, created mild sensation by boldly proclaiming himself in favor of duty on cotton, and 1t was noticeable that when he repudiated the free raw ma terial doctrines of Cleveland and Carlisle and those who had prostituted the name of Democracy fully thrse-fourths of the Democrats on the floor sustained him with hand and voice
 The other speakers were Messrs. Gibson (Rep.) of Tennessee, Cookery (Dem.) of Mlssouri, NeWlanus tSllVerlte) or NeVaoa, Lacey (Rep.) of Iowa, Swanson (Dem. of Virginia and Cochran (Dem. of Missouri
 A bill to compel respectful treatment fol the United States flag was introduced by MT. Howe of New York. It provides that any person in the employ of the govern. ment who shall utter words that reflect oi cast reproaoh on the American flag. there by showing disloyalty to the flag and the government from which they derive tbeii livelihood, shall be immediately dismissed from the service.
