THEY WANT PENSIONS.
Confederates Ask Butler Not to Aban-
 don His Bill.

Washington, January 1S.-Senator Butler presented today in the senate a petition from fifty-flve ex-confederates of Muscogee county Georgia, asking him not to aban- don his bill for pensioning ex-confederate soldiers. They say that they are citizens of the United States, and that while they par ticipated on the confederate side of the war between the states, this war was not a re- bellion. They refer to President McKin- leys recent expression favorable to the care of the southern dead as the resting place of a true patriot" and conclude: We therefore hope you will press your bill and that congress will pass the same, and by so doing show the world that we are re- united people. We desire this not as men, dicants for a pension, but in response to the grand and patriotic sentiments of our president and as voicing the sentiments of every true patriot who loves his country and respects the valor of the dead confed- crate soldiers"

FIELD TRIALS.
Setter Derby Wss Delayed on Account
 of Dense Fog

West Point Miss, January 1l.-Iuv Derby did not commence today until Il o'clock owing to a dense fog. Nightingale and Lady Rachel were the first brace Nightingales poor work on game caused her to be spotted out, and Lady Rachel's want of training and bird work caused her to share the same fate.
 Roderick Dhu and Colonel R., the next brace made a good run. Colonel Rs. work so far has been the best of any dog in the stake, and he may prove the winner of first money.
 Lena B. and Royster, the third brace did more point work than any brace that ran especially Royster.
 Count Danstone and Pink's Boy, the fourth race, did not improve all the oppor- tunties to work on game that presented themselves.
 Four bevies were seen when they ran and less than four points on game made by the brace Count Danstone having the advan- tage on game, speed and range. The dogs carried into the second series were Colonel R., to run with Royster; Lena B., with Rod erick Dhu; Count Danstone and Prime Min ister and Pinks Boy bye.
 Only one brace, Colonel R., and Royster ran in the second series today, both doing good work, finding six bevies of birds. Colo nel R., had the advantage in range, speed and snap in his point work.
 The Setter Derby will be finished as soon as two other braces can be run.
 Weather conditions to do good work on game were better than yesterday, but birds not as plentiful as expected.

SENSATIONAL SIA--
Railroad Litigation 1rue Some Interest
 ing Developments.

Fort Smith, Ark, January 1.-The liti- gation between the St. Louis and San Fran cisco and the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern over the control of the Arkansas Central, which was recently placed in the hands of a receiver, has reached a rather sensational stage. Both roads attempted to run trains over the road yesterday, with the result that none were run. Receiver Blair, acting under an injunction, refused to al- low the Iron Mountain train to go out on the run ad upon his own authority as re- ceiver refused to send out the Frisco train.
 Saturday night the Frisco company filed a petition alleging that the Frisco had cer- tain contracts with the Arkansas Central for traffic, and for equipment and terminal facilities and that the receiver in violation of these contracts had made other contracts with the Iron Mountain, and prayed that the Arkansas Central be restrained from carrying out its contracts with the Iron Mountain, and that it be directed to carry out its contracts with the Frisco. A tenn porary restraining order was granted. The Iron Mountain today filed a motion to dis solve the temporary injunction, which will be heard tomorrow at o'clock Meantime no trains go out over the Arkansas Central and passengers and mail are being haulad by private conveyance

RUSSELL EXPLAIN s.
Gives Reasons for Removing Commis-
 sioners.

Raleigh, N C., January Ex-Governor Russell today sent to the general assembly of North Carolina a special message set ting forth his reason for suspending from office Railroad Commissioners J. w. Wilson and S. o. Wilson. He charges in the mes- sage that both men were interested in the operation and profits of the Southern rail- way and wero thereby disqualified under the law to act as fair and impartial judges. Specifying the grounds upon which he bases these conclusions, the governor sets forth that J. w. Wilson was mortgaged to A. B. Andrews, vice-president of the South ern railway, in the sum of SC, ,000 which he is unable to pay, and that Andyews and Wilson are joint owners of the Round Knob hotel, near Ashevile, N. C., which hotel is dependent on the railroad for it's patronage.
 This hotel, the governor says. was rent ed by A. B. Andrews and J. W. Wilson to the other railroad commissioner, s. o. Wil- son, for a five years term, and in return for his taking this lease the Southern rail- way, through Andrews, contracted to trans port Wilson and his family free of charge. and deadheaded for him all freight and all provisions and supplies.
 It is recommended that the legislature ap- point a committee to take evidence and in- vestigate the charges.

HAVANA CONDITIONS.
Insight Into Prevailing Circumstances
 in Cuban Capital.

Havana, January 17-Some idea of the conditions here in Havana and of the real magnitude of the work before the military administration can be gathered from let ter sent recently by Ma General Ludlow miiitary governor of the department of Ha- Vaha, to the late mayor, Marquis D DEsa- pana. Tn reply to letter complaining that certaln Ohlted States staff officers had been operating in the mayoralty sphere without consulting him.
 Alter an expression of regret that the marquis had been inconvenenced in any way and an assurance that, whatever had been done, no discourtesy was intended, General Ludlow says:
 You must admit, however that the city of Havana is in deplorable condition. The Spaniards have left it bankrupt unable to pay its employees. who lacked their salaries for many months. The prisons, asylums and homes for the destitute are without supplies, food or medicine. The sanitary condition Is frightful. Almost inconceivable abuses exist which are continuing menace to the health of the city,
 Ine Spaniards have left Havana with scarcely an attribute of modern civilization and practically in the sanitary condition of a city two centuries ago. For the time be- ing, Havana as well as the rest of the isa nd is in a helpless and destitute condition The United States Is provisionally in charge Of the administration of affairs, military and CIVIL. The American government has eX- pended large sums of money for the regen- eration of the island, and is ready to spend more. The money which at this very mo- ment is being used to maintain charitable institutions of the city is money allotted by the United States as a free gift for this purpose. We have given food rations by the million and employment to thousands who needed 1t.
 The retiring Spanish authorities have pill laged almost every building destined for use, stripping all of everything of value, with a few exceptions, and leaving behind only the accumulated filth or generations. Within three months will come the wet sea- son, with deplorable possibilities as to the outbreak of epldemics, particularly yellow fever, from which Havana suffers the year round, owing to the gross neglect of all sanitary precautions.
 Tn these circumstances, faced by the greatest emergencies, with all public insti- tutions to be reorganized and re-equipped. with the streets to be cleaned and paved, the sewers built, and untold abominations to be obiterated and the common people to be educated in the elementary principles of modern civilized life, 1t Is simply impossible at this moment for the United States mili- tary authorities, in every step they take, to go through the tedious processes imposed by Spanish methods upon local administra- tion."
 In concluding his letter, General Ludlow

West Virginia Senatorial Situation Re-
 mains Unchanged. a

Charleston W. Va, January 17.-The sen- atorial situation today developed very lit tie new. With the republican caucus but two days off it is utterly impossible to pre- dict who will be the nominee. A significant move was made this afternoon in favor Of Governor Atkinson, when a large number of representative business men from the valley and vicinity adopted resolutions en- dorsing his candidacy and pledging them selves to do what they could to bring about his election.
 The democratic cIucns will he held tcmor- row night. The nomination of John T. McGraw, of Grafton, seems assured. He has praC tically no op, osition.
