ABOUT 900 MEN PENSIONED.
System of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Goes Into Effect

Philadelphia, Jan. 1.-The system of
pensioning old employees of the Penn
sy1vania Railroad company on the lines
east of Pittsburg, was inaugurated to-
day. About $50 men who, by reason of
long service in the company's employ
have become incapacitated for further
active duty, were retired on pensions
that average nearly half the wages
they received when at work 1t is un-
derstood that a sum approximating
$500, 900 year is at present availa BILE
for pensioning purposes and that be-
fore the system can be extended to the
lines west of Pittsburg a much larger
appropriation will be necessary. Thus
far no person holding a position of i'm
porance has been affected by the pen
sion rule Hereafter no person over
thirty-five years of age will be taken
into The employ of the company.

vance occurred this morning, when two

which was made under the enemy's
shrapnel fire. The enemy evacuated
the place before the charging Ameri-

town they were pursued. Heavy fight

KAISER TO MS ARMY.

I Berlin. jan 1.-Emperor William at
the New Years parade to-day address
ed the officers of the garrison in part
as follows: THE first day of the new
century sees our army, in other words,
our people, in arms, gathered around
their standards, kneelng before the
Lord of Hosts and, verify, if anyone
has especial reason this day for bowling
down before God it is our army.
glance at our standards suffices as an
explanation, for they are the embodi-
ment of our history.
I'm many long wears of bitter servi-
tude God taught the people to look to
itself, and, under the pressure of the
foot Of the proud conqueror, our people
engendered in itself the most sublime
thought that it Is the highest honor to
dedicate ones blood and purse to the
fatherland in her armed service. Form
and life were given it by my grand
father, new laurels crowned the newly
created army, and its youthful banners,
but universal military service only at
tained it's true significance through our
great departed emperor. In his quiet
work he evolved the reorganization Of
our army, in spite Of opposition and ig-
norance. Glorious campaigns crowned
his work in a way never expected. His
spirit filled the ranks of our army, even
as his own trust in God bore our troops
to astonishing victories. With this. his
own creation. he brought the German
races together, and gave us back long
desired German unity. With the two
united, I hope to be enabled with a
firm trust in the guidance of God, to
prove the truth of the saying of Fred
erick William l. When one in this
world wants to decide something with
the pen he does not do it unless sup
ported by the strength Of the sword"
The emperor's address was consider !
ed another deeply significant expression
of his majestys firm intention to
maintain the empire in its integrity
The passage affirming the emperor's
will to preserve Germany's unity and
indivisibility and where he said he
would continue in spite of all hind !
RANGES to make the navy as pow /
erful as the army, made the deepest
impression and are, this evening, COM
mented upon literally in diplomatic cir /

NEW YEARS. Ar WHITE HOUSE.


| Washington, Jan. 1.--Beneath a sky
as bright as that above Cuba and in a
wind as cold as the Arctic, over 1000
citizens stood in line at the White house
gates to-day waiting to pay their re-
spects to the president of the United

marked the opening of the social season
in Washington.

past at the White house gatherings, but
few functions of the sort have been so

been better handled with less confusion

GOEBEL MEN In CONTROL
WILL ORGANIZE BOTH BRANCHES
OF KENTUCKY,S LEGISLATURE.
All Doubt DispelIed by the Attendance
Mt The Democratic Caucus Last Night
-GOebel Nominated for President Pro
Tenn of the Senate-Bribery Charged
Against Anti-Goebelites.

| Frankfort, KY, Jan. ALL doubt as
to the abilities of the Goebel democrats
to organize both houses of the legisla-
ture was dispelled by the attendance in
4 the democratic caucus tonight. Sena-
tor Goebel was nominated for president
pro tenn Of the senate and the entire
Goebel slate went through in the house
caucus. All of the fifty-eght demo-
Gratis answered the roll call and partici-
pated. In the senate four democrats re-
manned out. They were Senators Alex
ander, Hans, Gillespie and Roberts.
Senator Hill was sick and absent, but
is not classed with the dissenters.
/ In the senate caucus Senator Harold
created a sensation by making an al
legged expose of the anti-Goebel lead
ers, declaring that he had been ap-
preached oy j. II. Whallen of Louis
the caucus The money, he said had
been placed in a box with the Louis
vile Trust company, the key to which
he passed up to Senator Goebel who was
presiding over the caucus, ending his
speech by declaring that he had en-
tered into the deal for the purpose of
exposing Whallen, and further that
there was not money enough in the
world to make him disloyal to his party
and his state.
Attorneys for Goebel and other con-
testing democratic candidates for state
offices to-day served notices upon the
republican contestees to take deposit
tions to be used as evidence in the
pending contest cases, and naming their
witnesses. The list of witnesses in
cludes a long array of prominent men
nj both the republican and anti-Goebel
democratic parties like Governor Brad
ley, Senator Deboe, General Basil w.
Duke, John w. Whallen and others.
The republicans decided tonight to
hold a conference tomorrow and NOM
mate straight republican slate of cam
didates. This action was taken when it
became apparent that the republican
anti-Goebel coalition could not organize
either house. The anti-Goebel leaders
say the large attendance at the demo-
cratic caucuses tonight does not indi-
cate anything as to the gubernatorial
contest or the senatorship, as in the
senate the Goebe men and anti-Goebel
men entered into a deal regarding divi-
sion of the Offices in the branch, and
that several others would have stayed
out but for this agreement. 1t Is also
claimed that anti GoebeI men were
brought into the house caucus by a like
trade and that it extends no further
than -morrow's proceedings.
s. Trimble Of Franklin county was
nominated for speaker of the house on
the thirteenth ballot. Cantrill Of Scott
was the candidate Of the Original"
Goebel men, and Trimble's nomination
was therefore pleasing to the element
whuch supported P. Watt Hardin for |
the nomination for governor.

London, Jan. 1.-The Standards cor

on January / says: "Sir Charles War;
rens division Is now nearly complete
Its headquarters will be at Escourt 1t
Is rumored here that the guns which
We're captured from General Butler at
Colenso have been mounted in the hills
commanding the drift over the Tugela
river at Springfield. The Beers, it ap-
pears, captured $50 rounds of shrapnel
when they took the guns. General Bull
ler's difficulties have been immeasur-
ably increased by the enforced delay
since the last engagement. He now has
before him a series of walled and forti-
fled hills, running sixteen miles along
the line of the Tugela. These are
swarming with the enemy, posted in
positions of great strength and brlst-
ling with guns, while the river in front
is in full flood. The coming battle will
certainly be the stiffest and probably
the most momentous of the entire cam
paign."
