ton of General Pension
BiII-SenatorS Sarcastic.

After passing the first of the omnibus
private bills on the calendar. the Senate
Yesterday afternoon prepared the way
for the consideration of the general PEN
sion bill which, is a substitute for the
Sherwood bill of the House, by making
it the unfinished business. This step
was antagonized by Senator Hoke Smith
of Georgia, but he was not sustained by
sufficient number of senator's to secure
the calling of the roll on the vote to adj
vance the bill
Mr.. Smith yesterday continued his OPP
position to the omnibus bills and moro
than FIVE hours was spent in their dis
cussion At the close Of the debate he
said he would not press his opposition to
other private pension measures. Senator
Bryan of Florida joined in the onslaught
of the Georgia senator and at one time
engaged in an animated controversy with
Senator William Alden Smith of Michi-
gan.
Bounty Jumpers Scored.
Mr.. Gallinger opposed a suggestion
made by Mr.. Smith regarding the re-
striction of the pensions of persons re-
siding abroad. but said he would concur
in SO far as it might apply to bounty
jumpers from Canada. Senator William
Alden Smith said that many Of the most
caustic critics Of the pension system
found Canada a convenient place OF
refuge during the war and didn't come
back"
Senator Hoke Smith said that Judge
Lochren, who presided over the pension
Office while he was Secretary Of the In
terror, had been one Of the most gallant
Of Union soldiers during the civil war:
that Judge Lochren had almost absolute
control of the pension service and that
the only difference between them had
been due to his fault finding with Mr..
Lochren's strict Interpretation OF tie PEN
sion laws.
Opposes Private Pensions.
Mr.. Bryan opposed the plan OF grant,
ing private pension bills He instanced
the case of Heber Angel. a private. Mich
igan cavalry lyman in the civil war. covered
in the pending bill, in which So. 400 al
ready had been paid though he had seen
only six weeks of active service. Mr..
Bryan said ANGEL enlisted in February.
1855. Mr.. Smith of Michigan replied that
Angel had fought under Custer at APP
pomattox. He said he considered the
course of the Florida senator little less
than an impertinence and declared that
the Michigan cavalry had brought mora
glory to the country than all the SOL
retorted that Mr.. Smiths brief address
was an exhibition OF '.gymnastic elo-
uuence" He said there had been no
great battle at Appomattox.
''No fight at Appomattox?" queried Mr..
Smith.
mot as much as you are making now.
responded Mr.. Bryan.
The first OF the bills then was passed
and the Senate adjourned.

Products Compared.
Freshly baked cakes made from eggs
of various degrees Of freshness and from
the dried product were passed about to
see If any one could tell the difference
1t might be added that none could.
Mr. Dodge explained the difference in
value between pure extracts and imita ton
ones. The imitation f1avors can be made
much more cheaply than the real articles
can be obtained. For instance" he as
serted. vanilla extract should be stored
before being used, but the Imitation ex-
tract can be made In the morning and
used in the afternoon"
Tonka and coumarin were used altefnA-

ton articles cannot be told apart by the
casual observer, he asserted.

PEkING, March 9.-The United States
transport Abarenda has arrived at Taku
at the mouth of the Pei-ho. and q large
detachment of marines aboard will be
sent forthwith to Peking. The marines
will relieve the 200 infantrymen, part
of the 18th Infantry from Manila, who
will return Immediately to Tientsin.
The ministers and military command
ers at Peking and Tientsin continue to
take precautions against eventualities..
1t is not considered likely that the dis
orders in these cities will become anti
foreign. The missionaries. who know the
people better than any one else, say
there is no reason for alarm. Diplomats
and military officers. however. argue that
the recent outbreak came without a mo-
ment's notice. and believe that possibly
the Chinese artillery may be turned upon
the foreign concessions without WARNING.
1t Is true that the legations at Picking
and the concessions at Tientsin are
more strongly guarded and better pre-
pared than in 1900. the year of the Boxer
rising. but 1t is also true that the Chi
nese army now possess modern artillery,

Gradually interesting incidents of the

r. NJ. Talbot. young American en-
ployed in the customs service, went
alone after midnight, riding nearly five
miles to the bureau of printing and en-

eral American families residing there.
The fact that shell had fallen into the
compound occupied by the American
guard at the legation caused anxiety
lest this was the signal for a general
attack. Maj. Russell, commandant of
the troops at the American legation
therefore. refused to send detachments
after Americans residing at distance
until morning. Talbot first ventured
among the footing soldiers and ascertained
that they were not attacking foreigners
He then took word to the bureau, which

CITIZENS WILL PROTEST
Proposed Assessments Upon Resi-
dents Of Section.

Announcement was made last night OF
the intention of the executive committee
Of the Northeast Washington Citizens
Association to seek to inspire organized
opposition to the passage of Senator Gal
fingers bill. which provides for the con-
demnation of land for park purposes in
connection with the reclamation and de-
velopment of the Anacostia river and
flats. The committee held a meeting re-
Gently at the home of Evan H. Tucker.
president of the association and chair
man of the committee. and the substance
of it's deliberations will be announced to
the whole association at a meeting to-
morrow night.
Two of the three sections Of the bill in
particular will be opposed. W. ]. Fritz
zell will submit the report to the asso-
citation.
Call Assessment Unjust.
Particular objection is to be made to
the provisions of section 3 of the bill,
which provides that owners Of property In
a section of the city and county shall be
assessed for the amount of the land con-
demned for highway and park purposes.
plus the costs and expenses of the pro-
ceedings necessary under the terms of the
act and the costs of surveys and prepara-
tons of plans. 1t is the opinion of mam-
bers of the committee that such an as
sessment is unjust.
The bill provides for the assessment to
be levied against property IN the area
beginning at a point where the high
water line of the Anacosta river inter-
sects the northeast boundary line be-
tween the District of Columbia and the
state of Maryland, and running north
west along said boundary line to a point
where the southerly building line of
Rhode Island avenue extended as pro-
jected would intersect said boundary line;
thence along said southerly building line
of Rhode Island avenue to the easterly
building inc of New Jersey avenue; thence
following the easterly building line of said
New Jersey avenue to the Anacostia
river at a point where said easterly
building line if projected would intersect
the high-water line of said Anacostia
river; thence following the hlgh-Water
line of said Anacostia river in
northeasterly direction to the easterly side
of the Anacostia bridge: thence extending
along the easterly side of said bridge TO
the easterly building line of Nichols ave-
nue.; thence along said easterly building
line of Nichols avenue and the easteriy
building line of Giesboro road to the point
where said easterly building line Of Gies-
boro road intersects the southeast bound
airy line between the District of Columbia
and the state of Maryland: thence along

BROUGHT ABOUT BY STRIKE

BOSTON, March "a general advance
in the wages of textile operatives in
northern New England was announced
today by various mill interests which
have their head offices in Boston. More
than 125.OO0 persons, including employees
of cotton mills in Massachusetts, New
Hampshire and Maine, and wooden mill
operatives in six New England states, are
affected.
While few cotton mills have made
definite announcements, it is understood
here that the advance generally will not
be less than 5 per cent. and for certain
classes Of operatives Z per cent or more.
The New Hampshire and Maine cotton
mills, which employ $1,000 people, will
make the change in the pay ROLL next
Monday, other mills will do SO March ,1S
and the Lowell mills, with nearly 10000
hands, will put the advance into effect
March %.
Lawrence Mills Give Advance.
The Lawrence cotton mills, except the
Everett. employing 1900, the American
Wooden Companys thirty-three New Eng
land plants, with 10000 operatives, and a
number of Independent worsted mills
raised wages last Monday. To the adj
vance in Lawrence, in response to the de-
mands of the operatives. the increases
elsewhere are largely attributed In
Massachusetts. the mill hands underwent
a cut in wages Of more than 3 per cent
January 1, because of a new state law
which lowered the hours Of employment
for women and minors from fifty-six to
fifty four weekly. The Lawrence strike
followed.
The wage increase will embrace near
ly all the cotton mills in New Hamp-
the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company
of Manchester. the largest cotton con-
Germ in the world. The Amoskeag mills
employ 1880 operatives.
Question Yet Unsettled.
LAWRENCE, Mass. March 9.-The
American Wooden Company's offer Of
an increase in wages was raised to-
day to a ~ per cent average at a
conference Of the company's repre-
sentatives and committee of striking
employees in Boston. AS the strike COM
mittee expressed dissatisfaction with
the manner in which the increase is
to be applied little progress toward a
settlement was apparent.
Representatives Of the mill owners
submitted schedule showing how
much of an increase would be con-
coded to the different departments Of
the mills. The strike committee. how
ever. asked for a schedule OF increases
based on the wages earned. instead Of
on the department. and dividing the
classification into groups of low, me-
dunn and high priced operatives. The
mill representatives could not say
would submit such a schedule but left
the impression that the request would
probably be complied with. Another
session Of the conference will be held
next Monday.

i'll accordance with our feelings.
We sincerely regret that the time has
come for you to leave MS, since during your
labours among us you have won our low, 4
esteem.
On the 18th day OF September ) wears ago
when you preached to Us for the first time,
we felt then, x have ever cherished the
thought, that a great privilege bad been
afforded rs, II being the first cnn@leg tlon
chosen, to your CAL in "The Vast Mission
Field" Of laboul for God
Tonight the question comes to us:-Have
we shown ourselves worthy Of hat privilege,
have we done orr best IN helping to make
your first mission a success?
AS we look back at what has been done,
we feel that You have attended to your du-
ties faithfully, q that those who have strayed
from the fold, have not gone though any
neglect on your part.
We have noted specially, your con
slant exbortations to our young men and
women, your frequent visits to Our sick ones,
your energy ii looking up the careless and
Indifferent, and in the erection of our Sun
day School. That building viii always be a
reminder to us of your good work here.
We thank Mrs. Lloyd for the interest she
has shown in our Dolcas meetings and Sun
day School, and We pray that your SOUS may
grow up, and be treasures to you both.
It's sad TO part with You, but, knowing
that your call to another field is by the di-
recting voice of our 'Omnipotent Father"
we must be contented and say:--Go servant
of God, your great Master III reclaim, and pub-
lish to others his wonderful name.
