Pension Bifls

Pension Bills.
+ The first night meeting of the House
during this session was held last night
for the purpose of considering private
pension bills. One bill that came mp
during the session is worthy Of especial
mention, for it had for its purpose The
discontinuance of pension, an act al
most without precedent. The bill was
entitled, ITO correct the military record
of James y. Hughes" 1t was shown
by the report that Hughes never was
Union soldier, and that he was killed
during the wax. His widow, it was
claimed, was not. therefore, entitled to
a. pension. The Committee of the
Whole accepted the report and it was
adopted, with recommendation to the
House.
All the bills that came up were favor
ably acted on, except one, to award re-
lief to Hannah Howard, who is now
dead and does not require Congress

England's Position in Far East
 Briefly Defined.
THERE'S NOTHING EQUIVOCAL ABOUT 1T.
Her Ships Must Have All the Privileges Tn Chinese Ports that Those of Any Other Nations Have, and She
 Will Enfore Them.

MANCHESTER, England, Jan. 4.-The Manchester Guardian says:
 "The government has categorically stated that Great Britain will refuse to recognize any special rights granted at any Chinese port to any partlcu- lar power. Any port opened to one power must be opened to all or open to none. If Russia has been granted the right to winter ships at Port Arthur, Great Britain will enforce her rights to the same privileges, and her ships will winter there whether China comedies or does not concede the right
 Continuing, the Guardian says
 If Germany obtains naval station at Kiao-Chau, Great Britain insists up- on having lease of ground for a naval station at the same port, and she will support every other power making the same claim.
 "The contention of the government is that the most favored nation clause in the British and all other treaties with China forblds any special conces- sions of the nature contemplated by Germ any at Kiao-Chau and prevents nations from acquiring special benefits in which the others have not a share
 ''The government has also declared that the same principle applies to such transactions as railway and mine mo- nopoIies. Taking her stand on the treaties. Great Britain refuses to ac- knowledge such concessions, and will insist upon similar railway and mine rights, and will use such force to se- cure or defend them as may be neces- sary.
 This declaration does not apply to sessions of territory to which the ex- isting treaties do not refer, but relative to this contingency the dispatch of Great Britain to China says that when it occurs graver questions will arise. The government will then consider the manner in which British interests can best be safe guarded, and the form which the com pensation to Great Britain for the spe- eial advantages of other nations must take.
 Ut is reported that similar decla- ration has been deliyed to the Chinese and other governments by Japan.

Funds, TitIo Deeds. Books and Papers of
 the American Estates Association and a
 Trusted Clerk Missing.
 NEW YORK, Jan l.-The remarka- ble robbery of the entire funds and pa pers of the American Estates associa- tion at ts office in this city, which was discovered Thursday, has upset the po- lice who can find no trace of Clerk Joseph LockIey. The manager of the association, James A. Reilly, was at work almost all night trying to find out exactly how much Boekley had made way with. The amount stolen is put now at about s. 090 aside from the papers the clerk took. The greater part of this money was gotten from the bank by means of raised checks. The rest of the money and the title deeds, books and papers, and even private letters, which were stolen, were abstraeted from the safe in the office.
 E. c. Perkins, attorney for the Amer ican Estates association. said: "The extent of LocLley's dedication, 1 think, will be found to be about &. 00o. He did nothing but raise his own checks such as were given him for salary.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-The aggregate value of gold deposited with the United States assay office in this city during the past year was S34, 1l2, 545, of which about &, 2sO, 900 was deposited in De- cember. The aggregate number of ounces of silver received at the assay office in 1897 was 5000, 923, of which about 260, 900 ounces were received in December. There has been marked decreases in the receipts of the precious metals at New York assay office of late. Supt Mason says that this falling off is due in a large degree to the fact that producers of gold are disposed to have their metal refined as near the source of production as possi- ble, in order to save the expenses of shipment.

HAVANA, Dee. 30 via KEY WEST, Fla, Jan. 1.-Details have been received from Spanish sources of a conspiracy against spanish rule said to have been discovered in the province of Pinar del Rio. It is narrated that 300 men, em- ployed iu the field of Clay, Brock < Co., tobacco growers, who had been disarmed. eonspired to join the insur- gents. Their leaders have been im- prisoned in Moro castle.
 Christmas night there were riots simi- lar to those which occurred at Havan- ma. Matanzas and other towns. The demonstrations were intended as pro- test against autonomy At Matanzas crowds cheered for the United States, President Mckinley and annexation.
 A majority of the conservative may DTS have been removed from towns in the interior They represent 75 per cent. of the taxpayers
 \ letter from an important insurgent chief says that about l50, 900 insurgents and reconeentrados have died in vest ern Cuba. He also expresses regret at the suffering endured by the insur- gents in the field
 Dr. DeIhn calls attention, in the Diaro de la Marina, to the necessity of sending about fifty physicians into the interior of the is- land, provided with medicine chests and vaccine This step, he says, is to save from certain death in- numerablc human beings who are dy- ing of hunger and neglect. Dr. Del6n adds that over 5a0 009 persons. mostly children and women have died of famine in the fields. IL is not ad- yisable, the Spanish say, to entrust the distri button of food and money to the reconcentrados.
 Besides the pangs of famine, the re- eoncentrados are suffering from small pox, dysentery, malaria, etc, which threaten extermination. Therefore Dr. Delfn says that it is necessary to send medicines with the food and physi- clans.
 It is reported that an important en- gagement occurred last Monday in the Mulatto mountain, province of Pinar del R3o, ant that large numbers were killed on both sides. One prominent insurgent was captured and brought to Havana, where he is imprisoned in- communicate.

VARIOUS KINDS OF BABIES.

The chocolate mammas of Queensland carry their little ones astride their necks,
 The negroes of Cuba hold their pick aninuies on one hip, the child elinging by it's knees as a rider holds on to q horse.
 French babies are borne through the streets stretched on fine embroidered pillows, their lace frocks spread out 10 make all the display possible.
 The Dyaks of Borneo carry the baby wrapped in the bark of tree or in curously carved chair studded with ground shells which is fastened to the mothers back.
 The New Guinea baby has a novel method of being carried about, Its mother puts the naked little creature into a net, which is suspended by q band over her head and her ears, in front of her.
 Alaskan babies are rubbed with oil, tightly rolled in a skin or blanket padded with grass and bound with deerskin thongs, which are undone but once a day, when the grass is fresh- ened. If the baby cries he is held un- der water till he is still.
 The Chinese child lies with it's face against it's mothers back, and this ac- counts forthe broad, flat nostrils seen in the Flowery kingdom. It cries con- tinually in shrill, sharp shrieks, but the mother placidly works on amid the up roar
 The dimpled, brown little Jap baby takes its first journeys abroad strapped to the back of its mother or sister in a seemingly insecure position by strips of cloth meeting in the form of the let ter x. When awake it clings like kit ten and is never dropped.
 The children of the Aztecs travel about ill sling on the mothers right hip, the strong cloth passing over the left shoulder. The Gualtimalticans bear their children on their backs and as if this were not load enough any burden they have rests upon the head.
 The Italian bambino is swathed like a mummy and bound with colored rib- bons. The babies elder brothers and sisters delight in carrying about these human dolls which cannot kick. The German baby, too, is swaddled bound in long down pillow tied with gem erous bows of white ribbons. He is carried about in the nurses arms wherever he moves.
