Trying 10 Get Pay for Confederate Sid
Arms.

Washington, April 3.-Much inter
est is felt among the Confederate sol
diers in the effort of Representative
johnson Of South Carolina, to secure
for them pay for side arms. horses
and baggage taken from them by the
Union soldiers after the surrender at
AppOmattOX, in violation OF the Con-
fedcIate soldiers paroles. An Act was
passed by the 18th congress TO author
izc and direct the wal department to
pay these claims. Mr. Johnson re-
uurstcd the newspapers Oi the Fourth
District To publish this Law, in order
that every Confederate soldier who
had Il claim might present il. To as
sist the old soldiers he visited several
portions of the district aud conferred
with and advised them about the pre-
paratiOn of their papers.
In doing this work Mr.. johnson dis
covered that many Confederate sol
dicrs never received any formal writ
ten paroles. AS the Act passed by the
5.tll congress applied only to soldiers
who were formally paroicd, the war
department construed 1t to apply to
horses used in the army service. Re
Gently Mr. johnson introduced in tho
ISth congress Il bill authorizing and
directing the quarter master general
to pay Confederate soldiers and citi-
horses, provisions, and all other prop
erty taken from them by union SOL
diers, after the surrender at AppOmat-
tox. Z.
In arguing in support of his bill be-
fore tho war claims committee, MIR.
johnson pointed out that if the gov
ernment felt under obligations to pay
Confederate soldiers, who were for
mnlly paroled, the obligation was
equally us strong in favor OF those who
were never formally paroled. Some
soldiers were at home on sick leave
| some were on detached service, etc
All these were not formally paroled
Ho argued further that il the govern
! ment, after thirty seven years, felt
constrained by high moral obligation
| to pay the soldier for tho horse used
in the army service, the obligation was
| equally as strong to pay for the horse
used in making Il support Tor his wife
and children. As for widows and non
cOmbatants, the highest sense of moral.
| ity and justice against thegovernment
taking their property without cOmpen
| satiOn. The war claims committee
has the bill under consideration. 1t il
certainly meritorious and it's passage
would do justice to and help many
poor people in the South.
| The introduction Of this bill and tn,
effort on the part of Representative.
Johnson to secure it's passage, show
that he is alive to the interests Of hi
people, and is on the lookout for op
pOrtunities to serve his constituents

1t is being pointed out that japan
is as much of land grabber as Rus
sia, and that if she wins in this war
she will take possession of Manohuria.
To tell the truth all the nations of
the world in this day and time are
land grabbers. Even the United
States, once thought to be the very
opposite Of land grabbers, have degen-
Grated in that respect and are in the
land grabbing business as thoroughly
as any Of them.

decrease, after all.

The Fishery.

There was a plethora of herring at
Fishtown this morning and the etiuvium
of the locality was decidedly rank. Most
of the space on the platforms of the L.
shaped wharf was occupied by piles OF
herring and the cutters. The animation
was more apparent than at any other
time this season. A number of vessels
were discharging cargoes. Prices have
declined materially, herring bringing from
1925 81. so per thousand from the boats
1t should, however, be understood by
persons ordering fish from packers that
it costs the latter about as much as the
original price of herriugt to handle, pack
and ship them in other words, the prices
in vessel are about one-half OF those nee
essarily charged by the packers. Labor
is very scarce and considerable difficulty
is experienced in procuring men to work
on the fish wharf. Rockfish were selling
this morning at l2lc per pound. Bunch
fish white perch we're quoted at 20 to
9Oc per bunch. This species OF the Jimmy
tribe in days of yore were so plentiful
that they were given away, but like
sturgeon. they now bring fancy prices.

Custom House and POstoffice

The attaches of the postOfice in this
city were engaged yesterday in transfer
ing the equippage of the Office into the
southern portion of the building. The
custom house and postoffice is now one
third larger than the original structure
and the building is imposing in appear
ance. In making the transfer some in
teresting "reminiscences of other days
were brought to light in the shape OF
letters which had entered apertures and
remained out of sight for many years.
Some were addressed to people now llv-
ing. They will be delivered to such;
others will be sent to the Postofice de-
partment in Washington. About thirty
letters in all were found. Many years
ago the drop letter box was in the ex-
IRENE northwestern part of the building.
The letters we're brought to light by the
removal of the partition. Heretofore
the office proper faced the north; under
the new arrangement it fronts on the
east on st. Asaph street. The partition
in the office will be L-shaped and the
office of Assistant Postmaster Burroughs
will be about on the site of the old de-
livery window. A number of citizens
visited the Office this morning and ex-
pressed themselves as much pleased with
the changes which are being made.
