THE WAR WITH SPAIN.
Against the Bill Authorizing Renewal
of Pensions.

The Senate committee has received the
following report from the commissioner of
pensions upon the bill authorizing the re-
newal of pensions to certain soldiers, sail
ors and marines who served during the war
with Spain:
ut is provided by existing laws that a
pension shall continue during the existence
of the disability on account Of which it was
granted. 1t is also provided by law that no
pension shall be allowed and paid to any
officer, non-commissioned officer, or private
in the army, navy or Marine Corps of the
United States. either on the active or re-
tired list. Thus pension granted to such
soldier or sailor will cease upon his re-en-
Hstment In the army or navy, or Marine
Corps of the United States; and If the dis
ability upon which the pension was based
continues to exist in pGnsionable degree
after his discharge from such service the
law provides for its renewal from the date
of his discharge. This has been the law
and the practice, and it. would seem that
further legislation as proposed by the bill
in question Is not required to give title to
renewal OF pensions to those who served In
the war with Spain.
So far as known. there were but III re-
enlistments Of pensioners during the war
with Spain, and many Of these have al
ready been restored to the rolls, and the
applications of the others will receive
prompt consideration as soon as they are
filed in the bureau"

WILL NOT STAND FOR REELECTION
Mr.. Roberts of Utah Speaks of His
Future Course.

Mr.. Roberts of Utah Speaks of His
Future Course.
Mr.. Brigham H. Roberts gave out state
ment last night in relation to his exclusion,
in which he said:
81 was elected by the people of Utah as
their representative by the substantial plu-
rality of 5,665 votes. An effort was made
by what l believe to be an unconstitutional
and unprecedented process to exclude me
from the House of Representatives. In be-
half of myself and my constituents, COM
prising the entire population of the state
of Utah. did all could to maintain the
position to which they had elected me; but
the House Of Representatives, under the
whip and spur of popular sentiment, has
decided to exclude me from the House. 1
have contended for my rights and the
rights of my constituents, single-handed
and alone, to the best of my ability, but
have been overwhelmed by force of num-
berS.
so far as this matter is personal affair,
l may say that whatever happens, the
member from Utah can congratulate him.
self that from obscure birth and the condi-
tons of iron fortune, and in spite of hav-
ing espoused an unpopular faith he has
fought his way upward until he reached a
sufficient prominence to be the decided
choice Of the people of a sovereign state to
represent them in the American House of
Representatives. From that summit he was
hurled down by the House under a spasm
Of prejudice, arising from misrepresenta-
ton and falsehood as to conditions existing
in Utah. That action will not ruin him.
Conscious Of the rectitude of his own In
tentions, he win face the future undiscour-
aged by this incident in his career, and will
weave again his fortunes; he will face the
future with light heart and determine
ton to succeed.
mo, he will not stand for reelection as
a vindication of himself, even should his
peODlp deSire it: he will ask that his ex-
clusion shall be permitted to close, for the
present, this incident in Utah's history"
