w. 2. WALTON.

IT is to be regretted that southern
congressman are rushing in to present
bills To pension Confederate veterans
They deserve it fully as much as most
of those who are getting the benefit OF
the most liberal laws on the subject
ever enacted, but it has been said
of the Confederate soldiers that they
have fought the battles of life with
equally as much heroism as they re-
PEELED the Northern hordes and have
asked no favors of people or govern
ment. The average Confederate SOL
der was and is as much above a major
ity of the hirelings ofthe Federal army
as the heavens are above the earth. In
fact they are the flower of the earth
and while a few may be needy, the
greater number of them would not
deign to accept bounty from the gov
ernment. They have worked hard and
paid much of the tax extorted from the
people to pay pensions to those not en-
titled to them, doing so uncomplain-
ingly. Let not their foolish friends
now make them appear ridiculous and
leave the impression that they are
mendicauts by trying to get them pen
stoned, even II there was the slightest
chance TO do so.

REALIZING that If they ever expect
TO do anything more in Kentucky, they
have got to get together and stay to-
gether, a republican harmonizer has
been at work trying to arrange meet
ing OF the leaders of the numerous
factions and it is said the effort will
likely materialize this week in Louis

to be present and he is credited with
being willing to bury the bloody hat
Chef and fall on each others neck and
weep real tears of reconciliation.

In his speciality OF kissing idiotic
women. 1t. Hobson has neither peer
nor rival, but the wholesale osculatory
business has passed the point OF the
ridiculous and become disgusting, and
it is not TO be wondered at that the
naval authorities, are sending him out
of the country and to the Asiatic feet
where he will have no chance to con-
tinue the performance. The exhibition
shows very weak spot in the make
up OF the naval constructor aud a sur
prising number of idiotic women in
country. AS class they are doubt
less OF the kind that no one wants for
a wife and whose kisses are neither
sought nor desired by the average man.

1t is not known. however, that in re-
sponse to urgent appeals from the Span

living in the Philippines from the 'nsuE

A DISASTROUS FIRE.

PRESCOTT, ARIZ.. September l2.-fes-

greatest calamities in the loss of lives
and destruction OF property that ever oc-
Cured in Arizona. The number OF miss

Many people, familiar with Jerome place
the property loss at figures ranging from
a half TO three-quarters OF a million DOL

total aggregating less than $4,000.
The loss Is complete, 1t being stated
that not even the commonest articles OF
use were saved Much merchandise and
other valuable goods were removed to
nloces on the hillside, but the heat be-
ca,ne so intense that nearly everything
was destroyed in the end.

THE PORTO RICO COMMISSION.
Spaniards seem Agreeable
Fastening Matters.


SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO. Septem-
Der 12-The two evacuation commissions
held an hours session to-day, and ad-
iourned until Wednesday,. The American
commissioners made known their position
regarding the evacuation and transfer OF
the island in accordance with their IN
structions from Washington. THESE IN
structions they decline to make pubic at
present. as publicity might lead to embar-
rassment in the negotiations. but the
Spanish commissioners did not disclose
their position, nor the nature OF their IN
structions
They manifested. however. a Wiling
ness to secure as much expedition as pos
sible. and our commissioners are satsied
with the way In which their demands
have been Informally received. The ad-
iournment gives the Spaniards time TO
prepare their reply. When that Is pre-
sented the issues will be Joined, and the
situation became clear.
What effect, If any, the appearance OF
yellow-fever among the troops at Ponce
will have is problematical. Should the
fever spread Il would doubtless induce
the American commissioners TO hasten
the evacuation, but as yet there is NOS
the slightest reason to expect an epidemic.
General Brooke says two cases nave
been reported TO him and one death As
soon as he learned of these he caused all
suspects to be isolated, with a view to
preventing the spread of the infection. III
is believed that the cases originated In
the Spanish prison at Siboney.

The TrOcha theatre at III Nedado, for
merly used as a hotel has been offered

ers undertaking to put in electric lights,
