MORE FOR PENSIONS
House Committee Asks for Appropria-
ton of $15o,ooo,ooo for Fiscal Year
Increase Of $7,000,o00.

Washington, Jan. 25-Representative
keifer of Ohio, chairman of the sub
committee on pensions of the house
committee on appropriations, today an
nounced informally that the committe.
has agreed to recommend a pension
roll of s150,0O0,0OO for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1909. This will be
about s7,OOO.OO0 in excess of the pen
sion roll of the present fiscal year. The
increase is largely due to the provis-
ions Of the McCumber bill, by which
the enlargement of pensions in accord
ance with age and the adjustment OF
examination, as prerequisite
to the establishment of pension claims
on account of physical disabilities
were brought about.

DEMOCRATIC SENATORS DIVIDED.

Reveals Divergence of Opinion.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The democrat
ic senators held "A conference today for
the purpose of trying to agree upon the
policy to be pursued with reference to
proposed financial legislation. Speeches
were made by almost all the senators
present and developed wide diver
gence of opinion on the questions at
issue. Several of them. including
Bailey. McLaurin and Owen, are au-
thors of bills and each of them spoke
at great length in support of his own
measure.
tors at the beginning of the conference
that no vote should be taken and that
there should be no action of a1{y kind
that would be binding on the senator's
when it came to- consideration OF finan-'
cial legislation in the senate. Chair
man Culberson said he called the con-
ference merely for the purpose of eff
fecting an interchange of ideas in re-
gard to currency matters.
1T is understood that most of the
minority members of the committee on
finance who attended today's confer
ence deprecated the tendency of GER
tain democrats to demand extreme leg
islation in currency matters at this
session of congress when 1t is plainly
so improbable that any such legis-
lation can be brought to a successful
issue

remarks may bring a number of sur

General Byers states that under the

carnation League Of America Asks
That Flower Be Generally Worn.

Dayton, o., Jan. 2o.-The Carnatior
League Of America has issued the fol-
lowing circular asking that January
80 be generally observed thruout the
nation. The circular follows:
'The annual observance of the birth
day of men who have adorned high
stations in the nations gift and in it's
service, has distinct educational
value as we'll as an uplifting influ-
ence. The usefulness of their services
to their country, and to mankind in
general, is necessarily recalled and
the encouragement of their example
is brought forcibly to mind. There
is no more ennobling influence than
Is the contemplation of the lives Of
great and good men and whatever may
lead to this contemplation should be
encouraged.
"The Carnation League of America
has established the custom of observ-
ing the birthday of the late William
Mckinley, January goth, by wearing
on that day carnation; his favorite
flower.
1.-THE life, character and services of
William Mckinley can not be studied
or reviewed without profit to the in
dividual and the community. In his
death the nation suffered the loss of
one of her foremost sonS-the Chris

national days-days commemorative
of brave deeds. or noble lives nobly

of the people up to the highest patriot
fc pitch, and if 'Carnation Day shall
add its quota to the fostering of real
national patriotism. We may be sure
that the great soul of William Nc
