WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. = Commits
sioner of Pensions Evans has had a
statement prepared on the number Of
for pensions filed since
July. 1896. The comparison shows
that in July, 1896, applications for PEN
sions aggregated 1888, while in June.
1897, there were 40, l69, largely for in
creases and for widows and minor chill
dren. The commissioner attributes the
increase to the hard times which have
prevailed during the past few years.
He thinks, however, the high water

committee. The propositions were
talked over in an informal manner by
both sides, when an Adjournment was
taken until morning.
A. Far Apart a. Ever.
Az near as can be learned the miners
ofIicials will stand firm for the PROPOSE
tion they have made. In support OF
this claim they say that it is equally
fair for the miners to resume at the 69-
cent rate pending arbitration as it is
Cor them to work at the 64-cent rate
under the same conditions. At the
conference several operators stated that
the idea Of conference which was to
include operators from other states had
been entirely eliminated from the issue
and that only the Pittsburg district was
being considered. National President
Ratchford and District President Dolan
still maintained the question was an in-
terstate one, and the general strike was
being considered. From the informa-
zion at hand the contending parties are
still far apart. The miners officials
maintain that their proposition will be
accepted, while the operators in

to the Marquis of Salisbury, who insists

Mine Workers of America, speaks en-
couragingly Of the big mass meeting of
the heads Of the various and many labor

predicts that it will be one of the most

q statement of the case. He said on
former occasions the miners went to the
operators, when, with crocodile tears,
the conditions were deplored by the op-
orators. Now, he said, it was different
the operators had come to the miners.
He expressed himself in favor of arbi-
tration at living rate of wages. This
brought Colonel w. p. Rend to his feet
He replied by calling Ratchford vii
lain, traitor, blackguard and anarch-
list. With emphasis he told him that
seven anarchists had been hanged in
Chicago, and all were better than he;
that if he precipitated an insurrection
in this country he would be hung, and
when he was hung, he (Rend) wanted
to pull the rope. Colonel Rend left the
conference in a rage.
Getting Down to Business.
In the meantime the conference got
down to work. President Ratchford
made an apology for some of the state
ments he made and District President
Dolan stated his position. The opera
tors then decided that committee be
appointed to meet with the miners off,

will be the big parade, as it is expected
that fully 5000 veterans will be in line.
1t will be the 31st annual march of the
Grand Army of the Republic, and the
nation bares it's head as they pass by.
The majority of persons will be sur
prised to learn that the official figures
of expectancy as regards the number of
veterans are 54,119. Here it is more
than 30 years since the Rebellion was
crushed forever, and yet more than 50,-
600 of the defenders of the union will
be in line. New York will lead with
$4,000 men, while Pennsylvania will
furnish 5000 and Massachusetts, and
Illinois 5000 each. The big parade will
be led by Commander-in-C Chief Clarkson
and President Mckinley will occupy
the principal reviewing stand.
In point of attendance the present
encampment promises to be record
breaker There will be, unless all
signs fail, over 100000 strangers in the
city. They will hail from almost every
state and territory in the Union.
Commander CIarkson Arriy IS.
Thaddeus S. Clarkson, commander
in-chief of the Grand Army, arrived at
his quarters at the Iroquis hotel during
the day, and his reception constituted
the first event ef the week of the en-

by local G. A. r. men and members of
the reception committee and escorted to
the hotel, where he was officially re-

His Prison.
The tailOr's wife took her little boy
out for q walk the day after they
moved next door to the undertaker's.
The little fellow stopped just outside
the wide windows and pointed his
chubby forefnger at the white coffin

He had never seen q coffin.

er. That's the way God Furnishes. {"
The bonnv, boisterous lad was a
great trial to her sometimes when she
was weary with household cares an d
she resorted to almost any tale to keep
him quiet.
Every day after that the brown.
eyed boy stood for many minutes and
looked at the tiny collins behind the
heavy glass. He grew very obedient,
too. but the mother had become so ac-
customed to fault-tinding that she
never noticed how well he minded, but
continued to scold, just the same.
With every reproof his beautiful brown
eyes would grow dark with mist of
tears, and he would ask, half fearfully:
"Will you put me in the white box
for that, motherp Will God punish
ME n0wp"
Months passed. One day the rest
less feet went astray again. and the
mother, 10 the moment Of her extreme
vexation. punished him more severe
than usual.
"Don't pu. me In that white box,
MOTHER" he pleaded over and over
again between his sobs.
So saying, he fell asleep. When he

pattering feet wandered away no more.
