PENSION COMMISSIONER EVANS says
though the pension list of the war be
tween the States, which closed thirty
five years ago, now copstins about a
million names, it still seems to be
increasing and will be heightened con-
siderably by the Spanish, Filipino and
Chinese wars. OF course it will. As
the people keep the Treasury vaults
heaping full of money, by paying taxes
on their necessares, the republican ma
iority in Congress are sure to spend r.,
and naturally suppose they place it
where it will do the most good where
they make more votes for their party.

eigners at Chefoo declare the Chinese
government is responsible and advocate
vigorous measures.
Ii Huog Chang has become holder 10

atest attitude is regarded as an open

ference, according to the Foreign o.

measures to be adopted for sending the
ministers safely to Pekin. The Foreign
