For Confederate Pensions.

ATLANTA, November 25.-Richmond
Pearson Hobson. the hero of the Merri-
mac" proposes to ask Congress to pension
Confederate soldiers. Hobson is preparing
a bill and has written to Cove. Hoke
Smith for data concerning Georgias Con.
federate pension roll.
Hobson says his purpose is to have the
government appropriate such an amount
that the Confederate veterans now on the
rolls of the states of the south may re-
ceive with their state pensions a sum
equal to that received by Union veterans
The south, says Hobson, has long been
contributing to pay the pensions of north
ern soldiers and as the United States has
adopted the policy of returning war in
demnity to foreign nations, he thinks the
government ought to return a small part
of the pension money already paid by the
southern states.

SOUTH AFRICAN AMENITIES.
Lord Selborne Meets Paramount
Chief Luanika.

Special Cabegram to The Star.
SESHEKE, Marotseland, November %.
The meeting here of Lord Selborne,
high commissioner of South Africa, and
Luanika, paramount chief of Marotse-
land, was full of quaint incident. Moth
ing could be more picturesque than
Luanikas arrival. A fleet of 80 native
dug-out canoes came up the broad Fam
best led by the chiefs own enormous
boat with its crew of thirty paddlers
There broke from the hundreds of WON
en- assembled on the shore the royal
song Of welcome as Luanika's craft drew
nigh. Dressed in every imaginable bril-
liant color, black faces shining and black
eyes sparkling with excitement, the wom-
en- marched slowly forward to the rhyth-
mtcal clapping of hands, chanting as they
went to the river bank and then, with
wild shrieks and peals Of laughter, broke
their ranks and raced to battle their
hands and faces in the Water in which
the kings boat swan.
Luanlka'S eldest son. Letia, immacu-
lately clad in an English shooting suit,
was very busy on the bank with full
plate camera. After a few minutes
pause Luanika himself stepped ashore
habited in gray frock coat, pinkish
trousers. and black opera hat. 1t was
observed that Luanika's costume was an
Improvement on the old paper-collar an6
shiny high hat habit.
The high commissioner, with Lady Sci.
borne and their suite, rode quietly in
from the veldt some days after Luanika S
coming. Two days later the official meet
ing of the white and the black rulers
built of grass and reeds, and situated
in small courtyard inclosed by a reed
fence.
In the evening the paramount chief pre-
sented Lard Selborne with young HIP
popotamus. This beast, which is perfect
ly tame and about half-grown, had fol-
lowed the chiefs canoe 800 miles down
the river from Lialui, taking no more
than a passing interest in the herds of
wild "hippos' on the way. 1t slept peace
fully through the greater part of the pres
entation ceremony, and was finally gal
lantly mounted and ridden out of the
courtyard by a member Of the Paris
Missionary Society.

Dana, past commander of the Grand
Army, Department of Colorado and
Wyoming. and prominent Republican
politician. filed suit in the District
Court against e. N. Maxwell for $4,000
damages. The suit is the outgrowth
of controversy Of the recent depart
ment encampment.
Maxwell published letter that
Dana declares was defamatory to his
character. The latter intimated that
post funds were used to boost Dana
for office, and that immunity from the
payment Of dues was promised to
members of the post II they would
vote for Dana for post commander.
The letter also attacked Dana's mill
tary record, alleging that he rose
step by step from a short-time pri-
vate, Goo days), spent at Jefferson
Barracks, Missouri. over men that had
worked their way, step by step. or
rather. chair by chair. and were enti-
tied to the commanders chair"

considerable means, but Dana declares
that all he wants is "vindication."
Maxwell. 1t is said. was given an OPP
portunity to retract his article In the
newspaper, but ignored the demand
made upon him by Dana's attorneys,
and the matter is now in the courts.

ORCHARD WEEPS
FIRST TIME IN TRYING ORDEAL
WITNESS BREAKS DOWN.
GLAD DIDN'T KILL PEABODY
Haywood's Counsel Gives lnkllng Of
Their Plans for Defense Against
Orchards Confession.

Boise, Idaho.-After withstandine
with marvellous strength OF nerve and
muscle a weeks examination that was
one prolonged confession of crime.
Harry Orchard broke down and for q
few moments wept like child. His
unnerving came with a story of his
conversion and confession and the
mention of King David, murderer, the
Biblical figure which is supposed to be
Orchards later guide.
The DEFENSE had given solemn tone
TO the scene preceding the meeting be-
tween Orchard and Detective McPar
land, to whom he confessed, by show
ing that Orchard was first illegally
brought to the penitentiary and thrust
into almost solitary confinement. His
only cell neighbor was Bob Wetter, a
condemned murderer. Then came the
first MCFARLAND interview and the
story of David and Uriah.
Orchard faltered and tried to hold
back his tears. but he lost in the strug-
gle. The tears streamed from his eyes
and reaching for his handkerchief, he
buried his face in his hands. The
questions went on mercilessly as be-
fore, but it was a full three minutes
before the answers were coming in the
OLD sure tones.
The defense, carrying the confession
forward, tried to show that MCFARLAND
had played disreputable part In the
Molly Maguires and that he had prom
ised Orchard immunity.
The earlier part of the examination
as to the Steunenberg crime was
largely devoted to an effort to show
that Orchard had purposely been pub.
lie in his actionS at Caldwell and had
sought to draw attention to himself
and his crimes.
Orchard, just before the noon adj
journment, in low and shaken tones,
told of his conversion. How. when In
the penitentiary he thought over
his past life he thought of putting him
self out of the way and that he ought
to make a clean breast of it all. He
said he had come to feel that the grave
did not end it all. The story was told
to hushed courtroom. the silence only
being broken by the drone of Orchard S
voice.
Orchard also testified that he was a
Mason when he lived in Canada and a
member of the Colborn lodge.

Boise. Idaho.-Former Governor
Peabody and Harry Orchard met
face to face in the office of ]. H. Haw
ley few minutes after the recess was
taken at noon. Orchard, while plalnF
nervous from the strain of the m r.
ing's examination. had recovered his
equanimity and was speaking to one
of the men who had accompanied him
from the court house, when the gov
ernor entered. Orchard recognized him
at once His face changed, and, as
Mr.. Peabody approached the man who
had hunted him for a year seeking an
opportunity to kill, Orchards face
changed. He shrank back and trem-
bled. The former governor smilingly
held out his hand, saying:
How are you, Orchard?"
Orchard broke down completely. He
said:
Il am ashamed to look at YOU sir
l am ashamed to speak to you"
The governor treasured him in
few words, and Orchard replied:
Il am thankful that didn't kill YOU
and am spared the thought of that
crime"

A CoMRADE TURNED ouv.
pecorates Graves Of Old Soldiers and
Is Expelled From Home.

Monte Vista, Colo.-James H. Mad
den. an inmate of the Old Soldiers
and Sailors home at Monte Vista
and commander of the local G.
A. r. post there, was expelled
from the home for decorating
the graves of deceased comrades with
American flags. Commandant Aldrich
acted as prosecutor, judge and jury.
Comrade Madden knew he was doomed
to expulsion before the hearing began
and for that reason, after pleading
guilty to the two minor charges of the
five made against him, he declined to
be examined by Commandant Aldrich.
The inmates of the home are in full
sympathy with Madden and his expu.-
sion may disrupt the institution, unless
the board of commissioners removes
Aldrich who has been unpopular with
the veterans for many months on ac-
count Of the martinez methods he has
adopted for the conduct of the home.
The home, SO the old soldiers declare,
is under rules and regulations such as
obtain in the army camps during act
ual war time.
If all the charges they make against
the management are true, the home is
nothing more or less than military
prison, and anyone who violates any
! rule-and there are hundreds of them
liz the slightest degree, Intentionally
or Internationally, practically stands
subject to expulsion at the hands Of
Commandant Aldrich, who acts as pros
ecutor, judge and jury.
Commandant Aldrich, in a statement
after eXpelling Madden, said 1t was no.

as long as l am in charge propose to
run it as see fit"
II had been Commandant Aldrich's
intention to expel at least score Of
veterans from the home for placing the
Stars and Stripes over the graves of
comrades buried in the cemetery here
Cheap cotton flags had been placed
over the graves on Decoration Day, but
ordered removed the next day by AL
drich, who thought it was waste of
| money to allow Gods sunshine to
bleach the flags, or to allow them to fly
to the breezes in memory of the de-
parted heroes.
The action Of the commandant
| aroused the inmates of the home to
great Indignation. and they promptly
raised money and sent to Denver for
more flags. Aldrich heard OF this
move and ordered that the new flags
| should not be placed in the cemetery.
The old soldiers ignored his order, and
| when he tried to keep them from enter
ing the cemetery by force, they
brushed him aside as II he had been q
fly. This aroused Aldrich's ire, and he
| threatened to have every man who
took part in placing the flags expelled
from the home. Only hostile criticism
and the fear of walkout at the home
kept him from carrying out his full
threat. Comrade Madden was then Sc
lected as the fall guy and expelled
| after trial that was nothing more
| than farce.
