A Deficiency Appropriation May he Asked
For-EStimated the Total Paymant For
1897 Will Not Exceed @147.5OO,OoO.
WASHINGTON, Sept. pt.1S.--Commissioner
Evans, of the pension bureau. said Fri
day that he thought it would be neoes-
sary this year to ask congress for de.
fciency appropriation on account Of
pensions He said:
81 estimate that the total payments
for the year will not exceed Sl47.500,-
600, and the appropriation for the year
is Sal $685. $3.50. If there should be an
unexpected falling off in the revenues,
the pension payments might be cur
tailed toward the end of the year, al
though l do not think that it is al all
likely"
The increased pension payments he
said, would be due chiefly to the fact
that there are about 100000 old claims
pending which is the intention of the
bureau to adjudicate as rapidly as pos.
sible. The claims allowed probably
would call for something like S5,0G0,-
900. There also had been "a remarkable
increase in the number of new pen.
sion applications and these would
increase expenditures largely. In an.
swer to suggestion that there might
be deficit in the treasury at the end
of the fiscal year the commissioner said
that he had examined into the matter
somewhat and was of the opinion that
there would be a sufficient increase in
the revenues before the year w"s over
to prevent deficit.

lahoring men, the majority miners and
mine laborcrS. attended mass meet
ing at Nay Aug park Sunday, called
by the Central Labor union to protest
against the Lattimer killing. The
gathering was quiet and orderly.
Among the eight speakers were
Hugh O'Donnell. the Homestead labor
leader and George Chance, of Philadcl
phia, of the United Labor league. They
denounced the Lattimer shooting as
wanton murder, brutal outrage and
massacre, but suggested law as the
present remedy and rganization as
the safeguard of the future. The
company store system, the importation
OF cheap foreign labor and the encour-
agement of race prejudices were given
as the main causes of the recent out
break. Resolutions of considerable

posse and criticising Gen. Goblin for al

ice Sanitary Inspector Drummer at Ha.

tcinbcr o there were 326 deaths, OF
which 10 were from yellow fever, 80
from cnteric and pcrnicious fevers, "a
from dyscntcry and 55 from enteritis.
The inspector says the decline in deaths
from yellow fever is only apparent,
many deaths from that disease he
thinks being placed under the head of
cntcritis and entcric fever. AT the
same time there are not as many cases
of yellow fever in the military hos
pitfalls as there were two months ago,
the soldiers who were sick being cared
for in the hospitals elsewhere.
For two weeks, according to the city
mortality reports. no deaths from yell
low fever have occurred in the city
proper; this condition he says, does not
exist
The enormous death rate from en-

says, is result of the lack of nutri-

WAsuINGroN, Sept. 2O.-Gen. fitz-
hugh Lee, consul general to Cuba, had
long consultation with the president
at the white house Saturday. 1t was
the first time Gen. Lee had seen Mr..
Mckinley since the formers return to
this country about a fortnight ago. He
SAW the president by special appoint
mcnt, and all visitors were excluded
during the progress of the
conference. except Secretary Alger
who came over from the war depart
mcnt and remained until after Gen.
Lees departure. The conference was
a long one, lasting almost two hours.
Gen. Lee carefully reviewed the situa-
tion in Cuba. and explained at length
all points upon which either the presi-
dent or Secretary Alger asked for
information. Gen. Lee gave his
own views very freely to the presi-
dent, but after the interview was very
reticent about the nature of the report
he had made. lie said the president
had not given him an outline of his
policy 1t is evident, however that
the president is deeply impressed with
the critical character of the situation
in Cuba rs described by Gen. Lee, as it
is understood that at the conference he
strongly urged Consul General Lee to
retain his office. at least for the pres
Cnt, and to return to Havana at his
earliest convenience

The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1897-04-23

Following in the footsteps of all the
other European Governments, England
has arranged for the use of carrier
pigeons in the army. In the time of
war it is urged that these swift cour-
iers of the air can be used when rail-
way, telegraph, messengers and other
usual means are cut off, and pigeon
lofts will be established at suitable
places where they will prove most eff
fective. In the beginning England
will have but few birds, but more will
be added as time and money will per-
NIT.
Germany has the most complete car
rier pigeon service of any country in
the world. There IS hardly town of
any Importance in the German Empire
that hasn't q pigeon loft, and the Ger
man Emperor annually distributes nu-
merous prizes tor long and rapid
flights. The annual appropriation for
the pigeons in the army budget is
about $4,000. France has more birds
than Germany and spends $40, 600 a
year in maintaining them, but they are
not so we'll distributed. There are
scores of private lofts in Germany that
will be at the service of the Govern
ment IN time of need. France learned
the value of pigeons during the siege
of Paris, when they were used to con-
vey messages to the seat of govern
ment at Tours. Nearly fifty messages
were successfully despatched during
the siege, and since then the value OF
the pigeons has not been questioned.
It seems that carrier pigeons are
not able to make the speed that is
popularity supposed. German experts
say that the average pigeon can lily
thirty five miles an hour and not more.
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1897-04-23

Says She Baltimore Herald: The
result OF girls and women taking the
places of men in occupations that do
not call for physical strength must be
"a constant lowering of the average,
and probably serves to prevent adj
wances when the trade conditions
enable employers to raise wages.
What helps to keep down remunera-
tion are the thousands of females out
of employment. The fierce competi-
&ion created by surplus of this kind
of labor prevents those who have work
from receiving sufficient compensation
60 maintain them. The lot of this
alass is deplorable, and what to do for
them constitutes one of the most diff
cult problems to the solution of which
economists can apply themselves.
