CONFEDERATE PENSIONS.

The ill-considered action of few southerners who took an unfair advan- tage of President McKinley's resent kindly words in Geo1gfa and Alab1ma by moving for pensions for cOlfederata ? veterans, compelled many persons whose hearts were warm -Lowcrd tie south to raise voice Of protest, thus marring the love feast begun by the late war. But now the confedera:e veterans of New York have objected to the proposal and disclaimed any sym pathy with it. A Washington corre- spondent calls attention tJ con :titu- tional prohibition in section " Of ;h } Fourteenth amendment:
 1.-The validity of the public debt Of the Unioed States authorized by law, including debts incurred for Iaymen. of pensions and E5unties fer service in suppressing insuTr5ction or rebellion, shall not be qu5 5stioned, but neither. the United States nor any state shall as sume or pay any de0t or obligation in cured in aid Of instruction CT rebel lion against the United States, CT any claim for the loss or emancipa .on of any slave; but all such deb.s, obliga tions and claims shall be h=Id illaeal and void"
 This certainly and positively pro- hibits pensions to Conefdera .es and seems to stand in the way of even opening our soldiers homes to thsm, much as we would like to extend tha5 beneficence, because their only claim would be due ito their service in the civil war

RECEPTION ON THE FERN.
Commander Hopkins and His Crew
Entertain Their Friends

The despatch boat Fern, on which the
sessions of the board of enquiry upon the
Maine disaster were held, and which
is now used as practice ship for the
District of Columbia Naval Reserve, was
in holiday dress last night From the ex-
treme end of the bowsprit to the flag staff

swinging lanterns. Around the decks in
the cabins, on the masts and smokestacks
were draped the gaily colored bunting

damsel in tow. while a full band stationed
near the pilot house discoursed lively Ipu

lace paced back and forth on the quarter
deck giving orders, answering questions
and keeping things In ship shape generally.
The occasion of the gaiety was the recep-
ton given in honor of the friends of the
crew of the Fern. The jackies worked all
day yesterday, preparing for the event.
The ship had been treated to a thorough
overhauling In order that everything
should be in fine condition for the guests
when they commenced to arrive As soon
as the sun went down the Chinese lanterns.

craft, were lighted and the ship presented

For the entertainment of the guests the
boats were lowered and several crews were
put through their evolutions. The merry
making kept up till a late hour and the
last guest did not leave the boat until
almost midnight.
1t is estimated that fully 700 persons
passed up the gangplank during the
course of the reception and everyone ex-
pressed themselves as being highly pleased
with the evenings entertainment Captain
Hopkins was voted one OF the most efficient
officers in the battalion's service, as we'll

ADMIRAL DEwEy,s ITINERARY
The Cruiser Chicago May Welcome
the Returning Victor.

The Cruiser Chicago May Welcome
the Returning Victor.
The Navy Department received letter
from Admiral Dewey yesterday. dated
at Naples, August s, and confirming his
telegram of that date, announcing his ar
rival at Naples.
The letter also outlines his future move
ments as follows:
II propose to remain at this port about
one week, then to proceed to Leghorn for
one week, and then TO either Genoa or
Villefranche for about the same period 1t
is then proposed to proceed to Gibraltar
for coal, ETC., and to leave that port about
the middle of September
There is a strong probability that Rear
Admiral Howison, of the cruiser Chicago.
will be at New York in time to join in
the naval demonstration attending Admiral
Dewey's return to the United States. The
Chicago. with Rear Admiral Howison on
board, Is on a long cruise in African and
South American waters. She left Cape
Town on August 10. supposedly bound for
st. Helena, but inasmuch as the vessel is
about five days behind her schedule and is
under orders to meet the Wilmington and
the Montgomery at Rio, it is presumed
that the call at st. Helena will not be
made. The Chicago is due at New York
October 5, but if she should arrive slightly
ahead of her schedule she would probably
be in time for the Dewey celebration.
1t is believed that Admiral Dewey will
visit one English port before coming to
New York. but there is no information to
be obtained at the Navy Department in re-
gard TO the Admiral's plans after he leaves
Gibraltar.

Members of the committee of one hun

tematic canvass. The number of voluntary
subscriptions has not been as large as
members of the committee anticipated.

REDUCING THE FORCE IN CUBA.
Five Bafta1ions Ordered to Return
From the Island.

The Secretary of War has determined
to reduce the army now in Cuba, and or
ders have been issued to General Brooke
directing the return to the United States
of one battalion of each of.rthey following
regiments: First Infantry, Second In
fantry. Fifth Infantry, Eighth Infantry,
and Tenth Infantry. Arrangements are
being made to procure the necessary trans
portation to bring these battalions back
from Cuba, and on their return they will
be assigned TO posts in this country for
duty.
Soon after Secretary Root entered the
War Department he called for statement
showing the location of each of the regi-
meuts OF the Regular Army, and was sur
prised TO learn that over u 900 troops were
on duty in Cuba. This he considered ex-
eessiye, and determined upon the with
drawal of five battalions. 1t was consid-
cred the better plan to select the battalions
from different regiment rather than bring
back complete regiment, which would
have to be broken up and distributed about
the country TO different Army posts for
garrison duty. Another idea was to select
those battalions that had seen the hardest
service. so as TO give them an opportunity
to recuperate.

OBJECTED TO BY PLUMBERS.
The Installation of Water Meters
Raises Question

The registered plumbers of the city.
members of Local Union No. 5. have en-
tered vigorous protest against the in
stallation of water meters by District en-
pioyes- They regard the action of tbs
District authorities in permitting the mu-
nieipal workmen TO do the work as an
infringement on their rights. Secretary
March addressed a letter to the Commits
sioners several days ago on this subject. in
"nien the views OF the union were ex-
pressed.
he stated that this work properly belongs
to the employees OF registered plumbers and
not to men employed by the District. The
District has entered into a contract with
parties wishing to put in water meters for
their installation, thus competing with the
plumbers. The union is desirous of having
this practice stopped, as its officers claim
1t is Illegal and an infringement of their
rights.
The plumbers have made an investigation
or the methods employed by the District
workmen in setting these meters and they
found, they claim, that the work was done
improperly. Whether this was due to a lack
OF skill, Ignorance. or the failure of the
foreman TO properly supsrintend the work
the union was not prepared TO state The
plumbers are compelled to make the con-
nections of the meters in certain manner
they claim. and this method is not employed
by the District Workmen.
In the cases examined several important
valves and connections were entirely left
out and other piping inserted in their places
The letter from the union was referred 10
the Superintendent of the Water Depart
ment for report. and the latter was received
by the Commissioners yesterday The re-
port states that the Water Department
does not solicit the work Of setting meters
and would much prefer TO have the work
done by registered plumbers II is not the
intention of the District to enter into com
petition with these men, and il was only
when the owner of the premises especially
requested it that they consented to do the
work The workmanship of the employees
in these cases is OF the best. the report
states, and the valves left out in the in
stallation of the meters was done after
considering the matter thoroughly
This report on the matter was sent to the
Acting Engineer Commissioner, who di-
rected that reply based on the report
should be sent 10 the union.

THE ANTHONY POLLOK PRIZE.
Rules to Govern the Competition Ar
ranged by Committee.

The committee arranging for the award
of 600 prize for a life-saving appara-
tus in memory of the late Anthony Pollok,
who lost his life in the Bourgogne disaster
last year, has devised a set OF rules to
govern competitors. Each competitor is
required to submit working model of
his apparatus, together with accurate scale
drawings. Accompanying each model must
be found complete description of the
device, conforming with an elaborate set
of questions prescribed by the committee.
In passing on the merits of the devices
the jury will take into consideration not
only their value as preservers CT life, when
once in the water, but in the case of
appliances which depend on the aid of
persons other than those to be rescued.
the committee will take into account the
facility and safety with which they can
be detached or launched from the vessel
under any conditions. The competitors
will take into account also apparatus
and devices intended TO save life by pre-
venting vessel from sinking at sea as a
result of collision with an iceberg or other
object.

TO GO INTO CAMP.
A Partial Programme for the Saliva

mains at the Grove, will have charge of
the music
Another feature of the meetings will be
the talks of Brig. Charles Miles. who has
