FOR LARGER PENSIONS.
At Annual Meeting of State Vet

cided to Ask Legislature to
Increase Pensions for Oldest
Soldiers.

At the annual meeting of the
North Carolina Confederate Vet
erans' Association Maj. William
A. Graham was elected president,
succeeding Gen. Julian S. Carr.
Capt. Samuel A. Ashe was made
secretary. Resolutions regarding
the death Of Comrade Peter E.
Hines, of Raleigh, were read by
Richard H. Battle, and resolu-
tions on the death of F. H. Bus
bee by Col. Th5mas S. Kenan.
The condition of the Soldiers
Home was reported by A. B.
Stronach, of the board of mana
gers, to be excellent.
The question of securing a larg-
er pension for soldiers above 80
years of age came up and a re-
port was r4ade by Sergeant W.
H. Hamilton, of Wake, chairman
of the State executive committee
of the pension association. He
declared the Legislature ought to
be memorialized to increase the
pension for this class and said it
was now or never.
State Auditor Dixon, called on
to speak about the pension mat
ter, said despite the fact that a
thousand pensioners had died
during the year, there was yet an
increase in number and it was
now $4,000. He said in 1885 the
Legislature enacted the first pen
sion law, appropriating $4,000
for certain Confederate soldiers
and had simply amended this law
from session to session, the annu'
al appropriation now being $780,
1000. There is a special appropri
alton of $13, 900 annually to those
who lost both legs, eyes or arm
or one leg and one arm, and 500,
600 is appropriated for the Sol
diers' Home. He said he ha(
many urgent calls for an increas'
of pensions to older men, it being
, desired that these should be pu
in the higher class; but the Leg
,, islature has as yet made no sucl
provision. He declared the Stat
was doing a very noble part b.
the veterans but not as much a
it might if it could curtail it's ex
penses in other respects.
E. A. Oldham, of Wilmington
:, said the Legislature could affor'
to make a larger pension apprC
priation now as veterans are dy
, ing so rapidly.
Auditor Dixon said it might b
, we'll to memorialize the Legisle
: ture on this point. This it wa
=, decided to do.

There have been rumors afioat to
the effect that there Is a disagreement
In the cabinet, particularly between
the minister for foreign affairs and the
minister OF agriculture. But the truth
OF the rumors cannot be ascertained
at present
During the past few days the eyes
OF Sweden have been turned on st.
Petersburg, where, on May 3, the
popular Swedish prince. Wilhelm, was
united In marriage TO the Princess
Pavolona OF Russia King Gnstaf and
the car were both present at the GER
emony, which took place In the lat
ter's palace OF Txarskoe Selo.
The bride is lady of rare beauty
and will surely become very popular
I'm Sweden owing TO her amiability and
attainments. A dispatch from st. Pc
tersburg speaks Of her in this compl-
mentary fashion.
"She speaks French and German
perfectly and is making great progress
In Swedish. which is only natural. as
her teacher is the young Swedish
prince. Most OF her life has been
spent In Moscow, and she Is Russian
TO the backbone. devout member of
the orthodox church and an enthusi-
astic admirer of Russian art and lit
erature. She Is particularly fond of
the works OF Tolstoy and is proud Of
having received several letters from
the great writer. Her aunt made q
home for a number of officers and sol
diers who had been wounded in the
war with Japan, at her country home
In the south. and no visitor was more
welcomed by the sufferers than the
Grand Duo hess Marie. She used to
spend honrs reading TO the patients
and would help the nurses to tend
them. The poor fellows used to call
her the fairy princess

where he was the guest OF the car
until after the wedding
This pleasing event came at an OPP
perfume time AS will be remembered.
Sweden and Russia have not been on
the best OF terms for some time, the
people OF the smaller country having
been suspicious OF the cars moves In
the Baltic, and the determination OF
Russia to fortify the Aaland islands
In spite OF the treaty forhidding 1t, ruff
fed the temper OF King Gustafs sub

after the rulers Of the two countries
have sat together at the festal board

to be expected that there will be
friendship and amity instead of dis
trust between the two nations.

BRYAN QUITS THE C0MMoNER
Will Turn Paper over to His Brother
and MetcaIf During the
Campaign.

LINCOLN, July 23.-willam ]. Bryan
has retired from active work on the Com
moner and will not be personally respon-
sible for matter appearing in it during the
present campaign. Charles w. Bryan Will
be the publisher and Richard L. Metcalfe
the editor during the campaign.
Preparations were being made today at
Fairview for Mr. Bryans departure to-
morrow afternoon for Chicago. He will
travel in the regular sleeper, and will be
accompanied by his brother, Charles W.
Bryan, Robert F. Rose, his secretary, and
a number OF newspaper correspondents. 1t
is not doubted that number of speeches
will be made on the return trip. Monday
afternoon and night Mr.. Bryan will spend
in Omaha and while there will be initiated
into the mysteries OF Ak-Sar-B Ben, a secret
society of Nebraska business men, This
will be followed by a banquet. He will re-,
turn here Tuesday morning.
The endorsement given James NJ. Guffey.
yesterday, by the democratic state commlt-
tee Of Pennsylvania, was called to Mr..
Bryan's attention. He would not comment
upon the action, and gave every indication
that so far as he was concerned the incl
dent at Denver. in which Guffey was ous,ed
from the national committee, was a closed
one.

THOMPSON BETS ON BRYAN
Little Giant Buys Automobile to Put
Up on Democratic Cam
didate.

w. H. Thompson. the Little Giant Of
Grand Island, came to Omaha Thursday
to buy an automobile to put up as a wager
that Bryan will not only carry Nebraska
but that he will be elected.
you reporters ask very foolish questions
when you ask about the political situation" I"
said Mr.. Thompson. There Is nothing
new in the political situation, for It is an
old story that Bryan will carry the state
and the nation. 1 don't know anything
about the temperance proposition or
Hearst's independence league, but Bryan
will get some temperance votes and
would not be surprised in the least II
Hearst's party endorses the Nebraskan for
president. Bryan has some strong friends
in the league and I look for it to so to
him. 1 will wager anything that Bryan
will be elected"
Continuing, Mr.. Thompson said he has
taken no sides in the guhernatorial CAM
paign and that he is following Bryan's
professed example of keeping his hands
off. He says he is for Dahlman, Shallen-
berger and Berge and when the nomina-
tions are made will act out and stump
the state for the nominee.
II doubt IL Mr. Bryan can be induced
to have anything to do with state politics
and he will never ask Mr.. Dahlman or
any other aspirant to pull out of the CAM
paign. The people will decide who they
want to run for governor, and the man
who runs for governor on the democratic
ticket will be elected"

Detective Henry S. Mousley, who were
charged with subornation of perjury in an
