FOR THE OLD VETERANS.
Sen. Daniel e SIckIes Appears Before t.iq
Pension Committee and Pleads for
Liberal Treatment for Them.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Gen. Albert
D. Shaw, commander-in-chief of the
G. A. r., and the pension committee
of that organization had hearing
Monday before the house committee
on invalid pensions in the pending
bill to amend and make more clear
the act of June 81, 1899. Gen. Shaw
spoke briefly and the main arguments
were made by Chairman Brown, of
GAINESVILLE, O., and Gen. Daniel E.
Sickles, the old commander of the
Third army corps.
The principal feature of the argu-
ments was that the law be made so
clear as to be beyond the possibility
of misconstruction. Some minor
changes were proposed in the CALM
ger bill and in the main it's provisions
were approved as giving the remedies
desired. Gen. Sickles added a vigor-
Gus plea for adequate attention by
the government to the veterans in
their old age and infirmities.

FORECASTER HAZEN INJURED
The MeteorOlOgist Ia Thrown from His Bi.
cycle and His Skull Is Cracked-Little
Chance for His Recovery.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Henry A. Haz-
en-, professor of meteorology and a
forecaster at the weather bureau in
this city, was probably fatally injured
last night by being thrown from his
bicycle. The accident occurred while
the professor was on his way to the
bureau. At the corner of Sixteenth
and NJ streets he ran into colored
man, the force of the contact throw
ing him from the wheel and pitching
him forward on his head. The blow
was a terrific one, the skull. being
cracked from over the nose to the
back of the head and also causing a
hemorrhage of the brain. Physi-
clans afterwards trephined the skull
and removed large clot of blood
from the right side. They say his in
jury is one of the most severe on
record and the chances for his recov-
cry are remote. Prof. Hazen was for
some time an assistant to Prof.
LOOMS, of Yale, but since 1881 has
been identified with the government
weather. service at Washington.
Prof. Hazen was highly regarded as
an efficient forecaster. He was So
years old.

REPRESENTS ONLY HIMSELF.
Omcials at Washington Annoyed by Con,
tinued Mlssta tements Regarding Web
ster Davis Visit to South Africa.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Both the
state and the interior department
authorize the most sweeping denial
of the story that Webster Davis, as
sistant secretary of the interior, is
clothed with any diplomatic mission
1t is declared that he represents no
department of the United States gov
eminent in his visit to South Africa,
but is there in a personal capacity.
Since his arrival at Cape Town, where
he went to visit his cousin, Consul
General Stowe, the state department
has been very much annoyed at the
miscOnstruction that has been placed
upon his visit. 1t was to prevent
further misunderstanding on that
score that the department positively
declined Mr.. Davis application for
leave of absence for Mr.. Stowe. who
wished to accompany Mr.. Davis to
Pretoria.

THE COUNT IS ANGRY.
ANNA GOuld's Husband. Upon Arrival IL
New York, vehementiy Denies Stories
That He Lost in Gambling.

New York, Jan. 23.-Count Boni de
Castellane and the Countess de Cas-
tellane, nee Gould, arrived in this
country Monday on the French line
steamship La Bretagne, from Havre,
France. They went to the Waldorf
Astoria hotel. The count was will
ing to talk about the stories of his
losses by stock speculation and gam
bling. He speaks very good English,
with slight accent. On the De Ro-
days matter, he said:
De Rodays? He is a-well what is De
Rodays? De Rodays is liar; he is a
scoundrel-say anything you like about
him. He is a-What is such a person
He is nothing-a nonentity. What should
1 care for him? Oh, he is liar.
The count evidently did not like
the stories that had been printed
about him and his alleged losses. He
was asked if he would challenge De
Rodays.
Challenge? Certainly not. 1 shall not
challenge such a man. He is not the
kind of man to accept a challenge. No,
I shall not challenge him, but when I go
back I shall slap his face with a stic-.,
if he does not retract.
1 never gambled in my life, 1 never
played cards for money or gambled in
any other form. I did not lose money in
speculation and these stories are all fall
sifications and as false as they can be-
There is no truth in them at all.
When the question of the relation
ship between himself and his wife was
touched upon the count said: "Our
relations are perfectly harmonious -
Then he smiled at his wife as she
stood by his side, and she smiled at
him. There was seeming good feel
ing in the smiles. With regard to
their visit here, the count and his
wife said that they intended to re-
main in New York for Is days, though
their plans might possibly be changed.

TRUST POLICY AGREED ON.
Democrats Will Advocate . Federal LII
cense Plan for Their KegulatiOn-At-
titude ON Philippine Question.

Washington, Jan. 23.-One subject
upon which Mr.. Bryan conferred at
length with democratic senator's and
representatives during his recent
visit was the antitrust policy. The
proposition to license trusts and to
bring them under federal supervision
was advocated strenuously by the can
didate and discussed favorably by the
democrats invited to the conferences.
The plan contemplates a law which
shall require corporation having
factories or establishments in two or
more states to take out a government
license as condition for doing bust
ness. A system of inspection by spe-
cial examiners, somewhat after the
forms pursued with national banks,
is to be devised. In this way trusts
are to be regulated and the evils elm
mated by congressional legislation.
Southern senator's who participated
in the conferences claim that they OBJ
tanned Mr.. Bryan's acquiescence in
the following definite form of Phil
ippine policy:
F., First-The instruction to be put
down.
Second-A government to be estab-
ished by the United States.
Third-Local sovereignty to be ac-
knowledged when the stability of the
government is fully assured, the
United States to have a naval base
and commercial privileges and to ex-
ercise protectorate functions as re-
CARDS other nations.
Fourth-The Philippine govern
ment, when recognized, to issue bonds
with which to reimburse the United
States for the 100000 900 paid to Spain
and for other expenses incurred.
