Proposed to Allow ex-Confederates 10
Share the Nations Bounty.

Washington, December l6.-Repre-
sentative Rixey, of Virginia, to-day IN
troduced a bill for the admission Oh
Confederate as well as Union soldiers
10 all soldiers homes and government
institutions maintained by the govern
ment. Although somewhat IN line
with the Presidents suggestion IN MS
speech at Atlanta, he referred %
government care for Confederate ceme-
teries. whereas the Rixey bill refers
to living Confederates who are
manned, crippled or needy. The text
of the bill follows:
"Th.t after the passage of this act

fions maintained by the government
for the manned, crippled and needy
sailors and soldiers of the United States
shall be opened to all sailors and sol
diers of the civil war of 1916 upon
the same terms and without discrlmln'

place in the near future. By tie terms
of the amalgamation, the respective
clubs shall pool all gains and losses.
Those who figure profit on Brooklyn
say that this will more than counter
balance the Baltimore losses next Oc-
tober.
The players who are spoken of as
being likely to be transferred from
Baltimore to Brooklyn are Kelly Keel
er, Jennings, McGann, Demontreville,
Corbett, Maui and McJames. Manager
Ned Hanlon will have charge of the
Brooklyn aggregation, and VIM. Bar
ME is talked of as his successor in Bal
timore.
Many persons who claim to have in
SIDE information are of the opinion that
there will be two leagues of eight
clubs each, under the governing hand
OF the National League, by next sea-
son.
With Cleveland going to St. Louis
and the Louisville club purchased by
the league, ten clubs would still re-
main and of these it might be possible
| that Washington and Baltimore would,
for financial consideration, drop into
minor league That the magnates
are I'm Willing to buy out any club and
saddle'rhe' league with heavy debt is
generally believed, and those who ure
the double league of eight teams each

and practicable solution of the twelve

| been discussed at any of the sessions
thus far, but it may be taken up to-
morrow.
1t was said to-day that J. Earl Wag-
ner, of Washington, favored a non

Havana, December 16.-The United
States cruiser New York sails for Key
West tonight in order to take coal

day night.
CAPTAIN McCullagh, the former cher
of police of New York City, has re-
ported to Gen. Greene a police plan
for Havana on the same basis as that
of New York, but modified by local
conditions. The force will amount to
1000 men, not 1900, as at first be-
lieved.
A Cuban applied to-day to Captain
Chadwick, of the cruiser New YORK
for asylum on board that vessel. HIS
request was refused and he was tolo
that if he felt Havana was dangerous
to him he should go outside the city
The policy of the American repre-

for the purpose of protecting Cuban
chiefs in this city, but to send them ou'

The American Peace Commissioners
Leave Paris---Agonciilo Makes
Some Claims.

Paris, December 16.-The entire
American peace commission leaves
here for the United States via Havrt
and Southampton. tonight, and sails
fer New York tomorrow on board the
American line steamer ST. Louis
It is learned that Agoncillo, the rep
Tasentative of Aguinaldo, the Philip
pine leader, has lodged strongly
worded protest with the commission
(which thus becomes part Of the rec
lords. 1t begins with saying that "the
very noble and gallant General Aguin-
aldo, president of the Philippine re-
public" had "honored him with the
Ipost of official representative to the
livery honorable President of the United
Z States" Agoncillo then reviews the
ease at length, saying that at the time
of "imploring the armed cooperation

chiefs, both the commander of the

Williams at Cavite, acting as the in
ternational agents CT the great Ameri-
car nation at a moment Of great anx-
dety' offered to recognize the independ-
e1ce of the Filipino nation as soon as
ATS triumph was attained.
The protest then recites how Ad-
sniral Dewey, 'by numerous acts" is
alleged to have recognized the auton-
omist sovereignty of the Filipinos,"
and in picturesque language calls for
the fulfillment Of these promises and
fu]fillment of the solemn declaration
made by the illustrious William Nc
Kinley that on going to war he was
not guided by the intention of annexa-
ton of territory, but only by the prin-
ciples of humanity, by the duty of lib
Grating tyraDnized peoples and by the
desire to proclaim the unalienabe
rights with their sovereignty, of the
countries released from the yoke OF
Spain"

STONED AN EMBASSY.
Windows in the British Ambassador
Residence Broken by Washington
Printer.

Washington, December 16.-Tht
British embassy was subjected for sew
cal minutes last night to viciou:
tombardment with brickbats by Jos
w. Pearson, Washington printer
One of Sir Julian Pauncefote's daugh-
tiers was struck on the foot and slight.
~ hurt by the first missile thrown by
Pearson. Several windows, the glass
in the storm doors and the great plate
glass doors of the embassy, which
were magnificently cut in design OF
the British coat of arms, were ruined.
Sir Julian has requested that Pearson
be held until Secretary of State Hay
can be informed OF the incident.
Sir Julian and his daughters were
sitting in the drawing room, when
there was a crash and the rafting OF
falling glass Miss Pauncefote leaped
to her feet with an exclamation of
pain. Half brick lay near Miss
Pauncefote's foot, which had been
struck and cut. In a few minutes the
police were on their way to the en-
bassy. Meanwhile Pearson took DO
ition under the portecochere and began
to lombard the storm doors, soon
smashing the glass out of them. Be-
hind there were the main doors of the
embassy, great sheets of plate glass,
into which the arms of the embassy
were cut. These glasses were imported
and were valued at $500 each. Pearson
stood in the hallway and broke one
after the other. A policeman reached
the embassy and arrested Pearson.
He refused to reply to questions. He
is 26 years old and has been working
for the electric street railroads recent

FEDERATION OF LABOR


Discusses Socialism and Adopts Resolutions
Condemnlns the Tobacco Trust.
Kansas City, Mo-, December 16.-So-
cialism was the absorbing TOPIC to-day
before the convention Of the American
Federation Of Labor. The Socialist del
egates made a determined effort to in
fuse socialistic doctrine into the law
of the Federation. Probably they will
not succeed. for there is a majority
against them, but the socialist orators
held the floor nearly all the afternoon,
and will continue their argument to-
morrow, for the issue had not been de-
cided when the session adjourned this
evening. The socialists claim to be
pleased with the developments of the
day and say that for the first time in
the history of the Federation the ques-
ton was discussed with dignity and
liberation on both sides, and with APP
parent understanding of the issue, and
this, they say, marks an epoch of ad-
vancement of socialism among the
trades unionists. So great was the in
terest in the discussion and so general
the liberation that the five minute rule
of the convention was not enforced
against several of the more eloquent
socialist orators.
