0aick Work In the House on the
Pension Rill.


Pension Riu.
Immediately after the War Revenue Re
drction bill was passed by the House yes
terday. on motion by Mr. Barney, the House
went again into Committee of the Whole
to consider the general Pension Appro-
prlation bill. He stated that In every
respect the bill was an exact copy of the
Law for the current year. carrying a total
of $14b, ,2i5, 300. In view of the probable
increase of pensions arising out of the
Spanish war the committee had decided
to appropriate the sum carried in the ex-
listing Law. although a small surplus was
expected at the end of tee current year.
Answering questions by several mem-
eers. Mr.. Barney said that the pension
roll for the civil war Was decreasing and
that the Commissioner of Pensions esti-
mated that that decrease would be about
counterbalanced by the issue of the Span
fish war pensions. In the year ending
June 30 1899. 1873 of this class of pensions
were issued. End in the next year 1 1755.
The annual value Of these pensions, he
said. was trifie lsss than those issucd to
veterans OF the civil war.
The bill was read without further dis
cussion: no amendment was proposed;
the committee rose. the bill Wac reported
20 the House, and passed in fifteen
minutes.
Speaker Henderson submitted the Tesig-
nation of Mr. Marsh as chairman of the
special committee TO investigate the
charges Of ha2ing at West Point Military
Academy and announced that Mr.. Dick
would act as chairman.
1t was ordered that pirate pension
bills be in order Monday next. after mat
tcrs under suspension Of the rules have
been disposed of
At $3.50 o'clock the House adjourned
until Monday.

In Spain there are some 10,0O0.0O0 Of
migratory sheep which every year
travel as much as 200 miles from the
plains to the ..delectable mountains :.
where the shepherds feed them till the
SHOWS descend. These sheep are known
as transhumantes, and their march,
resting places and behavior are regu-
lated by ancient and special laws and
tribunals dating from the fourteenth
century. AT certain times no one is
allowed to travel on the same route
as the sheep. which have q right to
Craze on all open and common land on
the way and for which o road 90 yards
wide must be left on all inclosed and
private property. The shepherds lead
the Jocks, the sheep follow, and the
locks are accompanied by mules car
rying provisions and large dogs which
actas guards against the wolves. The
Merino sheep travel 400 miles 10 the
mountains, and the total time spent on
the migration there and back So II

age for their horses so plentiful as it
is this season, says The Breeders Ca
zette. Every. good horse and many
that are not entitled to be called good
in any sense have practically all they
ought to do, while all local ~fayorites
are Overrun. That the sentiment o.
farmers is in favor of getting all colts
possible is proved by the demand that
exists for capsules wherewith the oper-
alton OF impregnation may be perform
ed. This operation has been thorough
~ described in these columns, and the
fact that many are buying the capsules
shows c~onclnsively that it Is desired
to get as many foals as possible. There
Is much satisfaction to be had from a
review Of the situation as 1t at present
stands. AS 8 rule service fees are
higher than for years past, and yet in
many localities they are not high
enough-that is, the class of horses
the farmers demand and the amount
Of money they are willing to pay do
not doyetail neatly at all. Every day
the market shows more strongly the
wide gulf that is fixed between the
good and the common horses in point
OF value and readiness of sale. and
the owner who does not seek the
very best stallion he a find Is DELHI
erately throwing money away. No man
can afford to purchase q high class
stallion and stand him for a scrub fee.
