ASK FOR EXTRA PAY.
Ex-Soldiers, Who Believe They Are
Entitled. Will Petition Congress-.

At the coming bienniel encampment Of
the Army and Navy Union, which is to con-
vene in this city July II, several questions
of vital interest to large body of SOL
diers of both the civil and Spanish wars
will be considered, chiefly among which will
be the recent ruling of the Interior Depart
ment, under which large number of
pensioners were dropped from the rolls.
1t is held by the department that the nine
day men of the civil war who accepted a
furlough during their period of enlistment
are not entitled to the service pension
which was provided by a recent act of
Congress. This question, it is said will
also be discussed at the Grand Army en-
N. Y, in September.
Another question that will be presented
by the Washington delegates to the Army
and Navy Union encampment is that Of
securing by legislation the extra pay for
two months due the men who served in the
Cuban, Porto Rican and Philippine cam
paigrs. In 1898 Mr.. Fitzgerald of Massa-
chusetts, now mayor of Boston. introduced
a bill in the House of Representatives
which provided that amount of extra pay
for all honorably discharged volunteer
troops who served beyond the limits of the
United States, and one months pay to those
serving within the bounds of the United
States.
extra compensation did not receive it, either
on account of not making application or
otherwise, but being debarred, it is said.
by the statute of limitation. Several of
those interested made application for their
money and their claims are still pending
There is another class represented by
those who were discharged prior to the
muster out of the regiments they served in
on account of sickness or disability, and
who were not given the extra pay, be-
cause they were not mustered out with
their regiments as the act of Congress
provides. There many thousands of
these men in the Army and Navy Union,
United Spanish War Veterans, Society of
the Army of the Philippines and kindred
soldier bodies The national encampment
of the Army and Navy Union will be asked
to take up these questions and petition the
SiXtieth Congress to authorize the pay
ment Of this extra money to all the soldiers
who were discharged prior to the muster
out of regiments and to relieve all those
who are barred by ruling of the Court of
Claims which cites that claims of more
than six years duration cannot be con-
sdered by the court.

PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE.
Hospital for Insane to Have New
Equipment

Plans are being carried out at the Gov
eminent Hospital for the Insane looking to
the additional safeguarding of the buildings
of that institution from damage by fire.
Lines of fire hydrants have been located
with a view of attaching hose thereto and
causing streams of water to be played upon
the buildings. Recently one of the engines
of the District fire department was tested
at one of these hydrants and stretched
line of hose for a long distance along
Nichols avenue, SO that aid from that de-
partment may be expected in the event or
fire, in addition to the services of the vol
unteer fire brigade of the institution. 1t
is not the intention of Superintendent White
to depend upon these solely, however, as
it has been felt for some time that the
hospital should own a first-class steamer OF
its own, which could respond promptly to
an alarm of fire and thus prevent what
might be disastrous delay in checking
flames.
To this end the Department of the In
terror has approved a contract recommended
by the superintendent of the hospital with
the American LaFrapce Fire Engine Com
pany of Elmira, N. Y, for the purchase of
a metropolitan engine, fifth size, for the
use of the asylum. 1t will cost several
thousand dollars. An engine bought a num-
Der of years ago for use at the institution is
to be discarded, as it is ltiquated and
practically of no use in fire. The new
engine will be drawn through the medium
of a two-horse hitch, will weigh approx
mately $3.50 pounds, will have a capacity
of 400 gallons of water per minute, will en-
brace the latest improvements, and its
purchase was decided upon after consulta-
ton by DIR. White with Chief Engineer Belt
CT the District ireaepartment.

AS ORATOR AND DEBATER.
Estimate of the Late Senator Morgan
bv an Official Reporter.

Mr.. Edward " Murphy, for many years
official reporter of the United States
Senate and who has had rare opportunity
to judge of the powers of senators whom he
has reported, places the late Senator Nor
gan upon a pinnacle as an orator that
makes him the peer of any man who has
graced that body of able men.
LAS an orator and debater," said Mr.. Muir
ply yesterday, Senator Morgan was most
remarkable. Open the Congressional Rec
ord at any page where his name appears,
read his remarks. and the impressions left
upon the mind will be that every word he
uttered was carefully studied in advance
or that the speech was revised after its de-
livery, though he rarely prepared a speech
in the sense of writing it out in full or even
in making written notes or heads, and 1t
was Il most unusual thing for him to revise
the reporters transcript before publication.
Though his rate of speech rapid, he
invariably used the precise word or phrase
to convey the exact shade of meaning he
intended. He YVES entirely natural He
never strained after effect and seldom
raised his voice above a conversational
tone. l doubt if much that he said pene-
trated as far as the galleries. He seemed
to care little or nothing for the applause of
the present but to be speaking for the fu-
ture. The historian of the congressional
debates who will read the speeches of Sem
ator Morgan need go no further for infor-
nation on his side of the case. for no ma t.
ter how many preceded him in the adVo-
cacv Of views similar to those entertained
by rim. he always began at the beginning
and pursued the subject to the close.
1T must not be inferred that the speeches
of the senator stilted or artificial.
Far from it. The words flowed from his
lips without break or hesitation. as smooth
ly and as muscally as the rills from the
mountain. They were not mere words, bu.
they were pictures-pictureS painted by a
actn aynhn lchp wit oil of a
warm imagination and enriched with what
seemed fund of inexhaustible learning"

NINETY-NoTCH WEATHER.
But Nights Will Be Cool, Says the
ForecaSter

There was drop in the temperature of
more than twenty degrees from about 400
o'clock yesterday afternoon to 900 o'clock
last night. covering a period of about five
hours. Prof. Alfred ]. Henry, the fore
caster, who was on duty last night at the
weather bureau, called attention to this
rather remarkable decline of the mercury.
He said it due to the rapid radiation
Iof heat from the earth, the surface of which
is still cold as result of the continued rain
and chilly conditions of the past several
weeks The drop was from eichtytwo de-
'grees to sixty-two.
THE temperature will rise again tomor-
row. the professor added, land we may
look for more ninety notch heat Monday
and probably longer
1t is believed the falling temperatures
after sunset will continue for several days,
until the surface of the earth is heated by
the summer sun. This, therefore, presages
cool nights for awhile.
