PENSION FOR GENERAL
JOHN McAULEY PALMER
FIFTY DOLLARS tER MONTH
Is Blind in One Eye and East Losing
the Sight of the
Other.

The report of Representative. Ray of New
York on the bill to pension former Sena-
tor Palmer of Illinois, recommends that
the amount be reduced to $50, and then
proceeds as follows:
The beneficiary of this bill, John NJ Palmer
was elected colonel of the Fourteenth Regiment
Illinois Volunteer Infantry, on the 9th day of
May, 1861; made brgadier general Of vol
unteers, and later made ma jor general of
volunteers. He resigned September, 1866, hav
ing held many important commands, including
that of the Fourteenth Army Corps in the
Atlanta campaign and the military department
of Kentucky and having participated in many
important battles His military service was
valuable and most honorable Prior to the war
he held civil Offices, including that of probate
Judge, and after the held many civil Offices
including that of United States Senator from
the State of Illinois. Nearly always an office
holder. and always strictly honest, he finds
himself now, in his eighty y-second year, retired
to private life without means or income broken
in health blind in eye, and rapidly losing
the sight of the other. II is not claimed
however, that his present physical or financial
condition in anyway results from his army serv-
ice.
Under the general law applicable to all SOL
diers OF the Republic in like condition. the dis
ability not being Of service origin, he is en-
titled to Il pension OF S12 per month and no
more.
were MS present ulsaniltgs OF service OIL
gin, he would be entitled to a pension Of $50
per month, and should his disabilities, We're
they of service origin, increase as TO require
the frequent and periodical attendance OF a
third person. that pension could be increased
TO $50 per month.
We are not 10 pension General Palmer be-
cause he has been a distinguished in civil
life but because he was most capable,
brave and efficient officer during the civil war.
When United States Senator General Palmer
was for many years chairman OF the Commit
! tee on Pensions in that body, and while he was
always Just and liberal in his treatment OF the
old soldiers his comrades-in-srms, he was con-
sistent and believed that equality is equity,
and WAS always opposed to large and SENTIMENTAL
pensions, based social standing and political
pull for few favored Ones while the great
mass Of brave and needy only draw sl2 per
month when totally disabled from earning a
living by reason OF disease not contracted in the
service Fifty dollars per month is all that
General Palmer himself would approve, for he
wants no different treatment accorded hun
than the Government accords others Of equal
rank in the service and equal need now. That
sum will afford him reasonable support, and
lift him above want. The thousands OF his old
comrades n-arrns, equally brave and equally
in necesSitOus circumstances, must he remen-
bcred and a reasonable provision made for
them by special legislation when exceptional
cases of great merit presented.

THE ARMY BILL
IN THE SENATE
OPINION OF SENATOR HAwLEY
Believes 1t Best to Extend Existing
Law Until the Meeting of the
Next Congress.

The members OF the Senate Military Al
fairs Committee have had a worrying time
for the past several days in hearing per
sons who think that this or tbat amend
ment should be made to the House Dill
for the reorganization of the army. In
terested parties have besieged the COM
mittee room TO urge changes, and many
of the higher Government officials have
been summoned TO give testimony resard-
ed as essential TO the perfection OF Il e
measure.
General Hawley, the chairman, for more
than two weeks has had doubts as TO
whether or not the bill can be passed in
the Senate this session 1t has been lis
opinion that the opposition will never
consent 10 a standing army of over 62,00o,
and about the best can be done, probably
is TO let the whole thing drop and try 10
get through temporary bill or resolution
extending the operations of the existing
law until the lst of next January.
The anti-saloon agitators have pestered
the conmitte almost daily. They do not
want canteens run at any Of the posts or
homes for old soldiers, and have been most
persistent in their demands.
Another contention with which Con-
| gressmen have to wrestle who have any
/ thing to do with military matters is the
proposition to supply trained nurses for
/ the army These statesmen insist that il
! something isn't done to check the various
! movements ii will not be long before peo-
| pie will come forward with schemes to
/ open barber shops for the soldiers to es-
! tablish bath houses, and open clubs foT
| their benefit. Already it has been urged
/ that dentists be given commissions in the

TO AVOID AN EXTRA SESSION
Allison and Cannon Urge Speedier
Action on Appropriation Bills.

Mr. Allison in the Senate and Mr.. Can
non in the House have warned their legis-
lative associates that if they wish to avoid
an extra session of Congress it is abso-
lutely necessary that appropriation bills
must be disposed of with greater rapidity.
Not for twenty years have these measures
been more backward. 1t is understood
that gentlemen who want to press other
legislation, such as the steamship subsidy,
the anti-scalping and the distribution OF
the appropriation bills among the various
Senate committees should subsde. but the
latter do not now seem inclined TO yield.
NJ. Hepburn is also very anxious TO
pass the substitute for the Senate's Ni2ar-
augua Canal bill. General Grosvenor says
that will stir up lively contention be-
tween the two branches of Congress. He
thinks that some sort of legislation is i'm
perative this session, but ii is doubtful If
the Senate will consent TO have its bill rip
oed to pieces.

THE WHISKY MADE HIM ILL.
Another Character Appears In the
BrOmo Poison Mystery.

New York. Feb. Ga new character in
the person of Frank Carpenter, the eng-
neer of the Knickerbocker Athletic Club.
has been introduced in the mysterious poi
soning case of Mrs. Kate j. Adams and
Henry c. Barnet.
Carpenter claims to have been poisoned
a month ago. He says he drank Scotch
whisky at the club bar and Immediately
became i'll. He was taken home, where for
eight hours he lay unconscious. Carpen-

ness at the time, but since the startling
revelations made in the Adams and Barnet
cases he has decided that he was intended
for third victim.
In an interview Carpenter said
There are persons in the club who know
that l am aware of certain things. Might
not those persons have decided to put me
out of the way?

his meals at the clubhouse, as he did pre-
viously. Application will likely be made
today for the exhumation of the body of
Barnet The coroner's inquest will open
