II was not yet able to disclose. He
added: You may take it that on July

Pekin were safe. I cannot say why
the other ministers are not able to
communicate with their governments.

sage n possibly the Chinese do not
realize n anxiety existing in Europe"

Gen. Dick Introduces
/. Fifteen Bills.
One Is For the Relief of a
SaIoonkeeper.
Hissey's Pension Is the Highest Al.
lowed by Law.

In it's Washington correspondence
today the Plain Dealer prints the fol-
lowing concerning Gen. Dick:
Congressman Dick, of Akron, took
n shy at the House bill hopper today
with the result that he scored fifteen
bullseyes. In other words, he made
a record for introducing bills that any
member of the Ohio General Assem-
bly, might well envy. In all he intro
uuced fifteen bills, and they ranged
all the way from So pension bills to
measures providing for reimburse
ments in sums of $4,000. In the latter
class was one TO reimburse John c..
Delaney for loss Of his post traders
buildings and improvements at Fort
Stanton, New Mexico. 1t is stated in
the bill that Delaney's bills were rem
dered useless and valueless by the es-
tablishment of post canteens. In 9th
er words, Delaney's business as pur-
veyor of liquor to the troops was gone
when the government undertook this
business itself.
Col. Dick, in one of his bills, re-
membered his old friend, Rev. Dr.
George W. Hisscy, of GAINESVILLE, who
forsook the ministry to go into poll
tics, and assisted Col. Dick during the
last campaign at Republican headquar-
ters in Columbus, Hissey was booked
for chaplain of the penitentiary, but
he prefers something that has more
money and less religion in it. SO for
a time he is going to be connected
with Republican National headquar-
ters. Just at present he is sojourning
In Columbus trying to help Boss
Cox pass his ripper. Col. Dick wants
to pension him at the rate of $T2 a
month for his services in Co. H., One
Hundred and Eighty-fifth o. V. l., in
the war Of the rebellion.
This pension of $72 month is the
largest amount permitted by the pen
sion laws, and the presumption is that
the beneficiary must be suffering from
total disability. Rev. Hissey, upon
whom 1t is purposed to confer this
maximum pension, was in Akron sew
eral weeks ago, just before he went
to washington with the family Of Gen.
Dick. Rev, Hissey is accredited with
inspiring the bitter local attacks made
upon the Akron speakers who address
ed the Pro Boer mass-meeting at the
Akron Opera house six weeks ago.
