MANY PENSIONS FOR
 UNION SOLDIERS
BILL WILL BE INTRODUCED CIV. ING SIP PER MONTH TO EVERY MAN WHO SERVED FOR NINETY DAYS.

Washington, January 14.-There will be introduced in congress tomorrow in the senate by MT. Deliver of Iowa, and in the house by Mir Galderhead of Kansas a service pension bill backed by the Grand Army of the Republic which if enacted into law, will give a pension of SIP a month to every soldier who served nine ty days in the union army during the civil war who was honorably discharged therefrom and who has attained the age of 62 years. A like pension will be given the widows of such soldiers in all cases where the marriage took place prior to June 27, 1890
 The introduction of the bill Is the result of the meeting in Washington of the com mittee on pensions of the Grand Army. The committee had an extended confer ence with the President during the day and the latter assured them of his entire sympathy in their undertaking. They also talked with Pension Commissioner Ware about their work.
 The bill, it Is explained. Is not designed to interfere with existing pension legisla- tion and it provides in terms that no sol- dier or widow receiving a pension under it's provisions shall be entitled to a pen sion under any other law.

THEATRES CANNOT
 YET OPEN DOORS
CHICAGO COUNCIL PoSTPoNEs ENACTMENT OF NEW BUILDING ORDINANCES PENDING STILL FURTHER INVESTIGATION.

Chicago. January 14-From action taken tonight by the city council 1t Is evi- dent that the theatres in this city will not be able to reopen their doors for some time.
 The meeting of the council was for the purpose of considering the revision of the building ordinance, and 1t was generally expected that the proposed amendments would be considered and adopted; that the proprietors of the theatres would know what would be demanded of them, and would be able to commence their altera- tions at once.
 There has been much criticism of the proposed changes in the building ordi- subcommittee having the matter in charge would report to the council. Many people have declared that the changes were such as would be the cheapest for the theatres, and would not greatly en- nance the safety of the public.
 When the measure was called up tonight Alderman Mayer moved that considera- tion be deferred: that all the proposed amendments be published and that the whole subject be taken up when the coun- cil was ready.
 Alderman Foreman seconded the motion declaring that some of the changes were of character that required extSnsive Investigation and that 1t was not proper for the council to pass upon fifty of these at single sitting The motion was passed and all consideration of the new ordinance was postponed until the council is ready.

THE WHOLE RUSSIAN
 ARMY READY TO MOVE
FRANCE OBJECTS
 TO DUTY ON HEMP
THREATENS TO IMPOSE A cOUN- PREVAILING TAX IF UNITED STATES DOES NOT REMEDY PRESENT CONDITIONS.

Washington, January 14.-Unless con- gross enacts legislation removing the ex- port duty on Manila hemp shipped from the Philippines to countries other than the United States, France threatens to im- pose a countervailing duty on hemp pro- ducts imported from this country.
 At the instance of his government. Am bassador Jusserand today called on Col onel Edwards chief of the bureau of in- sular affairs, and made representations to him respecting the export duty levied in the Philippines. The governments of Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy Belgium and The Netherlands have sub mtted protests to the state department against what they charge to be an unjust discrimination In favor of the United States or Manila hemp and fibre. Re- gently the entire correspondence was transmitted to the senate by Acting Sec retary of State Loomis, although the pro- tests of Great Britain, Germany and Italy date back to 1902.
 It is asserted that the open-door policy with respect to the Philippine trade as covered by the Paris treaty of peace, guaranteed equal treatment from a com mercial standpoint to all nations trad ing with those islands. Each of the gov ernments referred to allege that they are compelled to pay an export duty of $7. 50 per ton on Manila hemp, while none is paid by the United States. This, it is in- sisted, gives American manufacturers an unquestionable advantage over foreign competitors. The matter Is one with which congress must deal and it Is learned that so far as the war department is concerned nothing can be done to extend the re- quested relief.
 The probability is that the matter will form the subject of further exchanges with the state department

PAYMENT WAS DISALLOWED.
Auditor Will Not Stand For Payment
 of $8e50 to vancott.

Washington, January 14--Secretary Shaw transmitted to the house today an estimate of $S950 requested as a defi- ciency appropriation by the postmaster general. Of this amount $1S25 is to reim- purse Postmaster Vancott of New York of which amount he had paid to H. Clay Groff from March 31 to June SO 1903 for duty in connection with the installation and maintenance of cancelling machines in the New York office.
 The payment was disallowed by the aud itor under instructions from the comp troller of the treasury. MT. Payne says that inasmuch as the detail of MT. Groff was authorized by the postoffice depart ment. and Postmaster vancott was in no way responsible for it, he in justice should be reimbursed for It. The balance of the amount requested is to reimburse an elec- tric motor company.

Appointment of Serafino Does Not
 Sever Recognition of Catholicism.

Rome, January 14.-The vatican authori- ties have been informed that the appoint ment of Monsignor Serafino. archbishop of Spoleto, as apostolic delegate to Mex leo, cannot lead to the resumption of diplomatic relations between the holy see and Mexico where since the fall of Max milan, there has existed a complete sep aration of church and state.
 The late Pope Leo made several att tempts to have the Catholic religion given official recognition in Mexico, but Pres ident Diaz constantly and consistently refused to comply with Pope Leo's wishes although not opposed to Catholicism, which prospers in Mexico more than 1t does in any of the Latin American repub- lies where it Is the state religion.
 The new apostolic delegation to Mexico will have exactly the same powers and Limitations as that of the apostolic dele gation at Washington

 In the senate committee on military af- fairs today. objection to favorable re- port on his nomination was made by Sem ators Blackburn and Scott It is asserted by several senators supporting the nopi- nation of Brig.-Gen.

 Whether this is true or not, the commit tee passed the nomination with brief conference, and 1t is understood that 1t will not be taken up again until the con- test over the Wood nomination has been brought to a conclusion in the senate Colonel Mills was promoted over 1T cad of a large number of army of

JUDGE THOMAS c. JONES
 MAKES IMPRESSIVE REMARKS

Atlanta, January 14.-tSpecial)-At the meeting in the hall of representatives at the capitol. Judge Thomas G. Jones of Alabama, who was on General Gordon s staff during the civil war, spoke after Gen. Clement A Evans. He paid a beau tiful tribute to General Gordon. saying he loved him as father. This meeting was A source of indescribable grandeur, the whole south gathering to pay tribute to the great man.
 Judge Jones said in part:
 s.This is not the time for an elaborate euloey of the dead chief. because he needs none. When the President of the Confed- eracy came through Georgia and Ala hama. thousands turned out to greet him and assure him of the love and affection of the south.
 General Gordon was one of the chief men in charge At Savannah. Gordon and Davis bade each other farewell. and Davis hold his hands on Gordon's shoulders. I went out of the car, because I thought the meeting was too sacred for me to disturb. When I thought they were through, I went back into the little com partment of the car and I heard Presi- dent Davis with a broken voice say
 "'Goodbye, Gordon God bless you. I am willing to have suffered much to have known man like you.
 'At another time in one of the battles when the snow was falling, General Lee rode to Gordon's tent and said: General, do you think you can hold them h1ck?' and Gordon replied: Don't warry about
