TIE PENSION ROLLS.

When the pension appropriation bill
was laid before the Senate yesterday.
Senator German called attention to the
large amount carried by the measure
about Sl45, 900, 0OO-and said that not
| wi,hstaDding the fact that seventeen
| per cent. OF our soldiers who had been
and we're still engaged in the war with
Spain in tropical countries, were suffer
ing from illness that would make them
proper applicants for pensions, NO pro-
vision had been made in the pending
measure for this increase in the pension
roll.
At this point Mr.. German was inter.
rupted by Mr.. Hale, of Maine, vino
said that he had been informed by a
prominent officer of the army that if
our troops were not recalled from Cuba
before June or July at latest, the entire
army on the island would be down
with illness.
Continuing, Mr.. German said that
the war with Spain would swell the
pension roll by at least fifty thousand
names, if the troops were not recalled
from the tropical cline by the lsG of
next September.
"Within three years from this date, !"
said Mr. German, in conclusion, "tbe
pension roll will amount to S165,000,-
900 year. If you add TO that the cost
of maintaining your army IA thousand
dollars a maD), the American republic
will in>the year 1900 expend more for
its army and pensioners than any other
nation on the face of tue earth. That
is fact which the American people will
have to face, and they ought to know
now, in advance, what is coming to
them, if the schemes and projects that
are being forced upon US are carried
OUT
Mr.. Perkins, of California, in charge
of the measure, replied briefly to Mr..
German, saying that the committee had
drawn the bill according TO the es,i-
mates furnished it by the department,
as always had been done. Referring to
the speech of Mr.. Butler, of North
Carolina, last evening, Mr.. Galiinger,
of New Hampshire, thought it was
trifc late to enter now upon the discus
sion of questions with respect 10 the
great civil conflict that had been de-
cided for all time more than third of
a century ago. The question OF States
rights bad been submitted to the abitra-
ment of the sword, and had been de-
cided. He expressed his satisfaction
that Senator Bate and Senator Petius,
both distinguished Confederate soldiers,
had spoken as they had with reference
to Mr.. Buffers proposition and the
sentiments he had expressed in his
speech.
The pension bill was then passed as
stated 10 Yesterdays Gazette.

THE SIXTH VIRGINIA.-A dispatch
from Richmond says: "The first ba;
TALON of the Sixth Virginia regiment
colcred, mustered out at Macon, Ga,
Thursday, arrived home yesterday
one company at Petersburg and three
here. The second battalion will be
mustered out at Macon to-day. This
regiment was for long time under ar
rest at Knoxville, under guard Of other
armed regiments, and gained the So
briquet of the "mutinous Sixth" They
gained further notoriety at Macon, and
we're under armed guard of other reg;-
ments there during large part OF
their stay.
1.-THE colcred officers, it was claimed,
were inefficient, and rather than stand
the examination to which they were Or
dered, resigned. The governor of Vir'
ginia filed their places with white Of
ficers. They were never able to con-
troll the colored warriors and offered to
resign, but were not allowed to dc SO.
"The Sixth was terror at Macon.
The regiment was intended for the
Philippines, but on account of its out
rageous conduct was not selected for
this service, but mustered out instead.
The arrival of these troops here was a
great surprise, as no announcement OF
their muster out had been made in
Washington, and their coming was en-
tirely unknown here.

AREMARKABLE CASE

a remarkable case of brother and
sister united after almost lifetime oc.
cured ia Richmond yesterday. Back
in the forties John Wilson and bis
wife, who was Miss Taylor, decided to
seek their fortunes in the west. They
had little daughter whom they were
unwilling to subject to PIONEER hard
ship, so she was LETT with her grandpa
rents in Richmond. They settled in
Wisconsin, and had other children.
The parents died, and the children, Of
whom there were Eve sons and two
daughters, separated, and took up the
labors of life in their own way, each re-
membering, but none ever having seen,
the little sister Frances, who remained
IN Richmond. Frances grew to wo-
manhood, and vas married to L. l..
Belts, weIl.known citizen of that city,
and in November, 1866, she sent to her
brothers a daguerreotype OF her little
daughter Mary. Since that time no
word ever passed between The sister in
Richmond and her brothers and sisters
out in the west. Yesterday afternoon
tall, we'll built man walked into
Mayor Taylor's Office and stated that
he was Walter Wilson, of Peoria, ILL.,.
and showed the od-fashioned picture
of little Mary Belts, which he had re-
ceived thirty three years ago. "Her
mother" he said twas my sister, but ]
guess she is dead, and L want to find
some OF our people,"
At nine o'clock Thursday night Mr..
Walter Wilson was notified that his
sister, the little Frances of long ago,
Was living with her family at No. 427

To BE DEPoRTED.-Moritz Becker, e
we'll known tailor of Richmond, has
been deprived OF his wife and Eve child
rem as result OF the stringency of the
immigration laws of this country. He
is native of Russia, but has resided in
Richmond since 1888, with the excep-
ton of few years be spent in Russia
He worked diligently and by careful
economy saved money sufficient to de
fray the expenses of his family to this
country. They came. Moritz met
them in New York, but the immigra.
ton agents refused to let them enter
and an order was issued to day for their
deportation tomorrow.
The unfortunate husband and father
took out naturalization papers in the
hope that he could bring his family to
this country, but the commissioners re-
minded obdurate and the poor fellow,
who has expended his all in bringing
his loved ones to America, is forced to
remain behind and see them sent back
across the sea. The final but iruitless
appeal was made to Commissioner
PoWderly to-day.
