General A. D. Shaw, commander.in.
chief; Major j. w. Burst of Sycamore
Ills; General Daniel E. Sickles of New

ity so to do TO issue an executive order
TO the effect that in determining the
pensionable status of soldier and in
fixing his rate of pension the several
disabilities which he may have sus.
tained shall be grouped and taken into
consideration.
The report further asked the presi.
dent to direct that the practice Of refus.
ing pensions to widows of soldiers who
have incomes Of 500 year or more, be
discontinued and that the limit of In.
come in such cases shall be raised to
$3.50 year,
The committee stated that Commits.

but thought the remedy laid with cou

their remarks would have the fullest
consideration.

LONDON. Nov. IA British naval
officer who has just returned from a

regarding the situation there, of which
he takes somewhat pessimistic view.
According to the published interview,
he thought that more river gunboats
were needed and that General Otis was
trying to run the campaign too economi.
cally.
Paying high tribute to the "surpris-
ing intelligence and confidence of the
American soldier" tne officer said:
Patience and bravery the American
Soldier has shown in high degree, but
he is not particularly mobile. He
would be more efficacious if instead of
being collected in comparatively enorm.
Gus numbers ne were used in smaller
forces, moving more rapidly and living
IN the country instead of requiring vast
quantities of potted luxuries.
Moreover, he looks tired and as if
he wanted something to do. Except
for an occasional game of base ball
there Is nothing for him to do but to
drink. Now, if he were a British sol.
dier he would be diverted by all sorts of
sports"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 40. II. King
of Jersey City, before the industrial
commission, attributed the popularity
OF New Jersey as a place for the in.
corporation OF trusts to the fact that the
state granted more liberal charter
than do most other states. He Thought,
however, that under the New Jersey
laws not only the stockholders, but the
public as well, were amply protected.
A. p. Nevin, New York attorney who
represents several corporations origin
ating in West Virginia, said that comp.
anies incorporated in that state were

ACTION In Tnh UUU klS.
bourvilIe, Kv.-Threatening Crowd.
Federal Grand Jury Charged.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. Ia. - Chairman
Long of the Republican campaign com
mittee repeated his claim of plurality
of 3,lll for Taylor, based on official re-.
tirns from ITO counties and unofficial
returns from the remaining nine. The
Democratic papers and leaders here
have ceased to give figures, but spe-
cials from Frankfort quote Candidate
GoeDei and other party leaders as say
ing they are confident of the success of
the Kenton county man.
Barbourville, the county seat of Knox
county, which gave Taylor 1893 plur.
atty, was visited by hundreds of peo-
pie interested in the result, their avowed
purpose being to see that justice is
done. Counsel for candidate Taylor
began action in the Knox county court
to compel the county election officers to
certify the vote to the state board of
election commissioners. Inc conten-
tion is over AZ ballots from the First
precinct, but the petition filed by Tay-
lor's counsel asserts that the election
officers propose to throw out the entire
county. Judge Brown granted tenn
porary injunction against such action.
Johnson and Lewis counties are affected
by the Democratic charges or lrregu-
larities, and there, too, legal complica-
tlons are likely to arise.
AT Hopkinsville a contest over pre-
cinct which gave Taylor plurality Of
30 is delaying the official return of the
vote of Christian county, which gave
Taylor plurality of 750
Slow progress was made in the count
of Louisville and Jefferson county. A
number of precincts are in controversy
on the grounds of alleged Irregularities.
In one such case, the Seventh precinct
of the First ward, the anti-Goebel peo-
pie secured an order from Judge Toney
to compel the precinct officers to sign
the tally sheets The Goebel people,
however, claim the ballot box had been
opened before it reached the county
election officers. The vote, so far as
canvassed, shows little change from the
unofficial returns.
The federal grand jury, which was
adjourned over the election, reconvened
and was charged by Judge Evans re.
garding election violations, particularly
with reference to the intimidation Of
colored voters.
