GEN. n. Il. OTIS
Spends the Day With President
Mckinley Discu ssiDg Affairs in the
Philippines.

WASHINGTON, July 3-President
Mckinley and Gen. Harrison Gray Otis,
who arrived here yesterday from the
west, had an extended conference to-
day on affairs relating particularly to
the campaign in the Philippines. They
Ire longtime personal friends and the
opportunity of discussing questions of
Importance in which they are mutually
and deeply interested was enjoyed by
both.
During the afternoon Gen. Otis took
luncheon with the President, subse-
quently went driving with him and this
evening in company with Adjutant
General Corhia, dined with him at the
White House.
Late tonight when asked by a rep
resent3tive of the Associated Press
about his conference with the Presi-
denf, Gen. Otis replied:
Really there was nothing significant
OF specially important about it. We
scussed pretty thoroughly the situa-
zion in the Philippines and in a rem
iniscent way talked of incidents in the
war of thirty years ago in which we
had a part. Beyond that there is little
to be said. / may say that the Presi-
dent is quite satisfied with affairs in
the Philippines as they are being con-

implicit confidence in Gen. Otis and
that confidence is not misplaced. Gen.
Otis, who, by the way, is not a relative
of mine, is, in all respects, an admir-
able and efficient officer. He combines
all the excellent qualities of the law
yer, the diplomat and the soldier, and
I have not a doubt that he will prose-
cute the Philippine war to a successful
conclusion.
'The President is fully determined.
continued Gen. Otis, "to put down the
instruction in those islands. His mind
is made up on that particular. Ar
rangements have been perfected to fur

need to bring the rebellion to a sue.

brought home as rapidly as possible.
They fought brilliantly long after the
contract for their services mad expired,
but they fought willingly and without
a single complaint, as noble men always
fight"
Gen. Otis was asked whether his con-
ference with the President to-day had
any reference to the rumors that he
might take a place in the cabinet.

General, decicively, that not the faint

INNOCENT PURCHASE RS
VIII Hold Titles to Land ~Bought-An I'm
portant Case Decided,

DUBUQUE, Ia, July 3.-Judge Shiras,
of the Federal Court, has decided the IA
nous O'Brien county, Ia, land case, by
ruling that the title in the disputed land
is vested in the innocent purchasers.
A land grant was given to the Sioux
City & Pacific railway conditioned on the
construction of the road into Minnesota.
Building was stopped at LIE Mars, la. The
road had sold much to settlers. but the
courts decided that failure to extend for
feited the grant and the United States
Supreme Court sustained the decision.
The lands were reopened and settlers went
in and seized the property purchased
from the railroad. After many years of
litigation the court now enters a decree
holding that the original purchasers are
entitled to retain the land occupied by
them. This decision involves title TO TWEEN
ty thousand acres of the best farm land
in Iowa.

OCEAN STEAMERS OVERDUE
Anxiety Felt at Boston for the Safety
of Nine Big Liners.

Boston, Jan. 13.-Great concern is felt
for the safety of nine big ocean liners
now from week to two weeks overdue.
The agents of the different ships and
the cOnsignees of the cargoes are anx-
ious lest disaster has befallen the ships,
and further because in many instances
the merchants need the goods and the
steamship people, who have had to
abandon all idea of keeping to sailing
schedule, have their piers congested
with the outward cargoes OF the belated
steamers.
Some of the vessels may have broken
down at sea, as was the case with the
Puritan line steamer Storm King, from
Antwerp for Boston, which was towed
into Queenstown Tuesday, the day she
was due here.
The most concern Is felt for the John
ston liner Oakmore, which left London
twenty-one days ago for this port, from
the fact that she is supposed to have
been sighted at sea apparently with
some slight machinery arrangement
She is only about a year old and is
capable of withstanding the severest
kind of weather and making the run in
thirteen days.
The steamer Roman of the Warren
line is fifteen days out from Liverpool
on a passage she generally accom-
plished in ten days. The list of Euro
peon steamers overdue Includes the

Last October he abandoned his fine
clothes and applied for stoker's job
in the hot boiler rooms of slow

Stettin, where he was forced to apply
at the doors of the workhouse, his body
clothed in rags and weak from hunger.
There he was found by Police Sergeant

enough of the life he was leading and
willingly returned with the officer, ar
irving here Monday last He will leave
for Houston on FRIDAY.

HILL GETS B. & Q.
The Deal is Now Said to Be
Practically Assured.

New York, Jan. 13.-The Times says:
The announcement of the settlement of
recent disagreements between the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific rail-
roads proved to be one of the most in
teresting statements Wall street has
lately had to consider and grow enthus-
iastic over. In Northern Pacific COM
mon stock there is reason to believe
that a pool has been formed, including
in it's members the strongest finances
of Wall street, among others friends of
J. P. Morgan, Governor Flower and
John P. Rockefeller. This pool, credited
with a capacity beyond any such recent
combination, is believed to have as
basis for it's organization knowledge of
plans which will practically make the
Northern Pacific and the Baltimore &
Ohio one property. Some reports, prob
ably distorted, have it even that the
Northern Pacific property would act
ually absorb the Baltimore & Ohio. I'm
der any circumstances 1t is declared
there will be direct management and

NEW PENSION BILL.
Congressman Broderick Introduces a
Measure to Let the Bars Down
Still Lower.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Now that con-
gress has begun to thrown down the
bars, the pension system is one which
will probably be given a large share of
the benefit of the new era of extrava-
gance. A sign of the times may be
found in bill introduced by Represen-
tative Broderick of Kansas. This bill
provides, among other things:
1. That all pension laws shall be con-
strued literally in the interest of the
claimant, who shall not be required to
furnish proof excluding all reasonable
doubt, but merely to establish his claim
by fair preponderance of evidence.
2. That all pensions reduced or dis
continued since the beginning of 1893
a date obviously chosen for the purpose
of wiping out Commissioner LOchren's
record-shan be reconsidered and read
Indicated upon application, and If re-
stored, shall begin again from the date
Of the reduction or discontinuance.
8. That all Investigations into the
merits of pensions previously allowed
shall be conducted in open session and
at the county seat of the county in
which the person affected resides.
4. That the oaths of persons who
served as non-comnissioned officers or
privates shall weigh as much as those
of commissioned officers.
5. That marriage may be prima facie
proved by satisfactory evidence that the
parties habitually recognized each 9TH
er as husband and wife and were so
recognized by their neighborSs and lived
together as such up to the death of
either of them or of the enlistment of
the man, and that the children born
of such union shall be for pension pur-
poses deemed legitimate.
s. That for the purposes of the de-
pendent pension act, the record of dis
honorable discharge from any service
shall be wiped out by a subsequent ser
vice with honorable discharge, or by
death in such subsequent service not
resulting from any violation Of law or
regulation.
T. That if claim for a pension I'M
der the dependent act is rejected on the
ground of no pensionable degree of dis
ability. the applicant may have an or
der of examination before another
board of surgeons without filing a new
or supplemental declaration, but merely
on the sworn statement of a reputable
physician that a pensionable degree OF
disability does exist; and that If sec
ond examination results favorable, the
pension shall begin from the date of fl
ing the rejected application. or from the
date subsequent to such filling at which
the disability is proved to have begun.
g. That a widow whose net income
does not amount to $500 year shall be
considered as without other means of
support than her daily labor for the
purposes of the dependent pension act.
