A MAN WITH A PLAN
TO REFUND PENSIONS
Would Issue Negotiable Bonds to
Pensioners for the Sum They
Are Liable to Receive.
BASED ON LIFE INSURANCE RULES
Thinks liz Would Be Better for tho
Pensioncr and Cheaper for
the Governmcnt-.Invitcs
Criticism.

New York, Dec. 23.-The Press says:
w. +. Rockwell, a prominent manufac.
turer OF Meriden, Conn, has in view the
presentation OF a bill in congress,
through the pension committee, looking
toward the funding of the pension APP
preparation. This bill, according to
Rockwell, promises to be of great bene
tit not only to the government in the
saving OF many millions Of dollars but
to the vast army of pensioners also.
Rockwell has talked about his plan to
President Mckinley, Secretary Bliss,
members of the ways and means COM
mittee and pension officials, al of whom
he says think well of 1t, but they have
not decided yet how 1t will be received
by the country.
Pensioners who have been approached
by Rockwell on the subject also think
we'll of the idea n are inclined to view
1t in a favorable light. He consulted,
also, numerous bankers, commercial
men n life insurance actuaries, who
approve the scheme and admit its FEAST
Ibility, believing it to be entirely prac-
teal.
1T has long been the idea of con-
gress," said Rockwell, in speaking of
his plan, that pensioners are depend
ent, whereas, as a matter OF fact, the
great bulk of them are independent.
Thousands Of them are owners OF farms
in the west, which are mortgaged, the
mortgages bearing interest anywhere
from s to II per cent. My idea is 10
issue negotiable bonds to the pensioners,
or pay them cash at their option, to cov-
er the amount they would receive from
t11A ~ pNApf ha.ag -. tie. -, -
expectancy. This would enable them to
pay off these mortgages, thus saving to
them the difference between the lowest
rate of interest in any state, 6 per cent,
and the interest on the bonds at 2a per
cent
This would relieve them from their
present entanglements. There are, in
round numbers, about $50, 900 persons on
the pension rolls, and to those who are
not owners of farms the payment OF the
entire amount which according to my
table would be due them would enable
many Of them TO start in business, and
this in itself would put into circulation
a large amount OF money that would in
ure to the benefit OF not only the COM
munity in which they reside, but to the
whole country.
1T would also be a great saving to
the government in the matter OF salar-
les and expense, since it would do away
with pension Office machinery, while the
only expense the government would in
cur would be in issuing the bonds. 1t
would also do away with pension attor-
neys, who receive from the pensioners a
good share OF the money paid out for
them"
While Sh2#iag-t the plan in a favorable
Light, Rockwell admits it is open TO dis
cussion and invites criticism.

equal to 1t. He bethought himself Of a

call. A good stou string was attached
to kitty's tail, and h vas put under

In a manner, too, that would have done

CHINA LOOKS NOW TO RUSSIA ALONE
British Influence Has Entirely Given
Away to That of the Gar
of Russia,

Pekin, Dec. 23.--China has granted
Russia permission to winter her squad
o at Port Arthur. Great Britain de.
mands an equivalent of the conces.
sions that have been made to the other
powers. 1t has been suggested that
Japan and Great Britain occupy Wei.
Hai-Wei jointly. The situation at Kiao
Chou bay is unchanged. Germany re-
mains unyielding. The Chinese coun-
ellis are divided as to whether there
should be peace or war with Germany.
China regards Russia as her only
friend and asks her advice alone. Brit.
ish influence is nothing, having suf-
fered greatly through the failure of
loan negotiations. China is now ne.
gotiating a loan with Russia. The lat
ter demands the dismissal of British
railroad engineers in north China.
Probably this will be conceded. Ger.
man drill instructors will be dismissed
at the expiration Of contracts, to be re.
placed by Russians. Russian officers
have already been appointed to drill
the armies Of north China.

Washington, Dee. 23.-rhere is a
very favorable outlook for the passage
of the bankruptcy bill, and even the
opponents of the measure concede n
conviction that it will pass both
houses. A ma5ority of the democrats
in the house will in all probability
vote against it. They feel its involun.
class of the east to oppose the poor in
the west when the latter is least able
to be borne down upon, while the vol
untary phase will encourage dishon-
esty. The opposition, however, has
felt that it was useless to organize to
defeat the measure and will simply put
themselves on record.

search Of wife, hsying filed brand
new pipe. with fragrant tobacco,
stealthily .euters the dwelling of the
fair one upon whom he has bestowed
his affections, deposits the pipe upon a
conspicuous article of furniture, and
retires on tip-toe to some convenient
hiding place in the neighborhood, local
etiquette requiring that he should exc
cute this strategic movement apparent
ly undetected by the damsel of his
choice or any member of her family.
Presently he returns without further
affectation of secrecy, and looks into
the apartment in a casual sort of way.
A single glance at the pipe he left be-
hind him enables him to learn the fate
of his proposal. II it has been smoked,
he goes forth an accepted and exultant
bridegroom; If not. the offer of his
hand and heart has been irrevocably
rejected, as not even worth a pipe of
tobacco. BY this ingenious expedient
the pain and humiliation of verbal re-

Don Francisco Romero Robledo.

tive party, is just now an interesting
hsure in Spanish politics. 1t is not
unlikely that he Is the coming man"
He was born in Antequera Andalu-
sla, and In appearance Is much more
like an Englishman than a Spaniard.
He is tall, of fair complexion, with
light, curly hair, now turning gray.
bright, piercing blue eyes, blond mus
tache and beard tinGsd with red, and
big white teeth, with two larger ones
In front. slightly protruding, without
which the caricaturist usually consid-
ers no Englishman complete. The COM
ic papers do great things with these
teeth, and put them in evidence on ey-
cry possible occasion.
Senor Romero's success as a pollti-
clan has been due in a great measure
to his personal magnetism and splen-
did oratory, which is considered second
only to that of the great CASTELAR,; his
voice is musical and resonant, and his
most bitter opponents in politics are
often so carried away by his speech
that they applaud almost unconscious
ly, even when the words which flow
in such graceful. telling eloquence from
his lips are directly against them ard
their aims.
