In Government Service
Must be Protected.
ASTRONG PROTEST
From Corporal" Tanner to Con-
gresham Tawney, Against
a Bill Now Pending.

Washington, d. C.-"Corporal"
Tanner, commander-in-c of the
Grand Army of the Republic, has writ
ten letter to Representative Tawney,
of Minnesota, chairman of the house
committee on appropriations, protest
ing vigorously against the action of
Tawney's committee in recommending
the enactment of law reducing the
compensation of government clerks
after they have attained the age Of 65
years. Corporal" Tanner writes
particularly in behalf of his comrades
of the civil war, many of whom, now
employed in the government service,
would be affected seriously by the
proposed reduction in compensation.
Corporal" Tanner ventures the as
sertion to Mr.. Tawney that you won't
find Confederate soldier behind your
BILL" and incidentally pays a tribute
to Confederate brigadier who refus-
ed to permit single one of the Union
veterans to be disturbed when he had
the power to remove them.
In the course of his letter Mr.. Tan
ner says: You propose that the aims
house alone shall be the veterans
refuge in life and, perhaps, after
you've kicked him out to rattle his
bones over the stones deny him a
burial ground and close against him
the gates of Arlington.
"My dear Mr.. Chairman, there is a
dead line in legislation representing
the saviours of the nation as perfectly
marked as at Andersonville, beyond
which no enemy may go. Let me
beg you to pause before you attempt
to cross it under the belief that the
sentry is asleep, and to have only
words of praise for the bridge that
many times and oft has carried you to
safety"

A PANIC IN THE STEERAGE.
It Was Caused by Storm and Was
Finally QueIied by the Ships
Officers.

New York.-A terrifying expe-
rience at sea was reported by the
officers of the French line steamer
Hudson, which arrived here Tuesday.
During the storm which swept the At
lantic last Friday afternoon and even
ing, the 33G steerage passengers on
the steamer became panic-stricken
and were quieted only after the cap
tain and first officer had threatened
them with revolvers and knives.
Both the barometer and thermome-
ter fell rapidly and a terrific gale
rolled up great seas. When the storm
was at its worst the steerage passen-
gers became panic stricken and sought
to go on deck, insisting that If they
must die they wanted to meet death in
the open. The stewards and minor Of
ficers lost control of the passengers
and appealed to the captain for as
sistance.
Capt Juham and First officer Me-
hausas, who were on the bridge, hur-
ried to the steerage quarters and at
tempted to pacify the terrorized pas
sengers. First they assured them that
there was no danger, then threatened
them and finally drew revolvers and
knives and threatened to use them un-
less the passengers became. quiet.
Order finally was restored. Soon af-
terwards the storm abated.

CONGRESSIONAL.

That there is still difference OF
opinion between the friends of the
Dolliver- Hepburn railroad rate bill
was made manifest on the 7th in the
senate. The division is over the ques-
tion whether rate made by the inter-
state commerce commission shall be
suspended by the courts pending final
adjudication and was brought out in a
debate which followed speech by Mr..
Clapp in support of the bill. With six
set speeches and permission to print
two others in the Record without de-
livery, no two of which were on the
same subject, the house closed debate
on the Indian bill.
The last opportunity for general de-
bate in the senate on the statehood
bill was afforded on the Sth. Start
ing with a speech by Mr.. McCumber,
there was no cessation in the speaking
until the adjournment late in the
evening. The whole time was ac-
cupied by three senators, Mr.. Beve-
ridge supporting the bill and Messrs.
McCumber and Patterson opposing 1t.
The house passed the Indian appro-
priation bill. 1t then proceeded to
tangle itself up over the bill to abolish
the grade of lieutenant general in the
army. The result was adjournment
for lack of a quorum.
The senate on the 9th passed bill
for the admission of new state to
be called Oklahoma and to be COM
posed of Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory. 1t was the house joint state
hood bill with all the provisions relat-
ing to Arizona and New Mexico
stricken QUE. The motion to strike out
was made by Mr.. Burrows and was
carried by the close vote of 81 to 35
after having been lost by the still
closer vote of 35 to Sc. The house
passed 40S private pension bills and
devoted three hours to the considera-
fion of bill providing a uniform sys-
tenn of naturalization.
There was a sharp division of opin-
ion in the senate on the 18th over the
question whether the Tillman- Giles
pie resolution instructing the inter-
state commerce commission to in
quire into railroad holdings of coal
and oil lands was of character justi-
flying the presidents message regard
1ng it. The debate was interrupted
when the railroad rate bill was called
up and Senator Culberson made a two
hours legal argument in which he
supported bill of his own which he
has introduced as a substitute for the
pending bill. The house devoted most
of its attention to legislation for the
District of Columbia.
