Representative Dies of Texas, made
a sensation in the house last Satur-
day by giving his associates quite a
raking over the Goals for their attitude
on what is known as the dollar day
pension bill. He said that the Demo-
Gratis had always been cowardly on
this subject, and had been voting in
crease of pension after increase, when
they should have held it down. He
said that with most Democrats they
were for the bill not because they
believed it Just, but because they fear
ed they would not be returned to con-
gress unless they voted that way. Ihe
bill has been pending since 1907, when
ii was introduced by Isaac r. Sher-
wood of Ohio, who was general IN
the Union army, and who Is the Oldest
member Of the house. The bill Is 10
be voted upon today, and, If passed,
ii will give SIS q month to those who
served more than ninety days, but less
than six months, $50 a month for SER
vice up to nine months, $25 a month
for service up to one year, ana $50
for a service more than one year. NO
pension is to be allowed veterans who
have incomes exceeding $1,000 year.
The Sulloway bill, which will probably
be offered as a substitute or amend
ment to the Sherwood bill before the
vote is finally taken, provides maxi
mum pension of $36 per month at the
age of rs.
New Orleans, December IL: AL
though this was the most important
bureau day in the year and the gov
ernment's estimate Of the crop OF a.
$4,000 bales was larger than expect
ed. the net change for the session was
a decline of only to IL points. Up
to o'clock the market was tame
and fiuctuated over about 10 points.
The opening was unchanged to z
points off, but within few minutes
the trading months were to points
down. Then they recovered to the
level of Saturdays close and March
made a net advance Of 1 point. This
was the highest of the day. Senti-
ment grew beapish as the time of the
governments guess drew near, and at
l o'clock prices were to points un-
der Saturdays finals. Following the
publication Of the crop figures there
was a drop Of Is to 16 points, but this
did not last long, as 1t tempted proht
taking by shorts on grand scale ana
a recovery was almost immediate.
This reaction amounted to 10 points
before the edge of the desire of shorts
to realize profits was taken of. the
close was steady. That the market
did not decline more with the average
expectation for 14,750,000 bales from
the government was due to the heavy
short interest that existed. That such
a large interest should still exist after
the heavy covering of the last week
or two, was considered remarkable.
Details as t. the advance of the
Russian troops in Persia have been
kept for several days completely in the
dark. How large a ferce has been dis
patched by the Russian govern
ment and particulars as to its move
ments are unknown in London, but
the public generally feels that the end
will result with the establishment of
a Russian protectorate over the best
parts of Persia, including two north
ern capitals, Tabriz and Teheran.
Newspapers and politicians generally
regard it as unlikely that Russia, once
entrenched in Teheran, will ever with
draw. The Teheran correspondent or
the Times predicts that Russia's first
act will be to substitute new form of
government for that of the national
council. Possible damage to British
commercial interests is absorbing much
attention, but the blow to British pres
tige among Orientals causes most anx-
iety. The outlook says: I'VE are face
to face with one Of the gravest crises
in the history of British policy in
Asia" w. Morgan Shuster, the Amer
lean treasurer general in Persia, whose
dismissal was demanded by Russia,
is held responsible for bringing the
Persian troubles to a crisis. He has
been one of the most discussed men
in England during the last week. All
officials as we'll as the newspapers,
credit him with efficiency and good
intentions, but accuse him OF lacking
Diplomatic tact. The British cabinet
is trying to induce Russia to abate
her demands, but the cruX of the mat
ter is the tension with Germany, which
Overshadows all other considerations.
England needs Russia's support in case
Of war with Germany, and therefore
cannot afford to take stand against
her.
