Vote of 81 To IL.
Washington.-The senate passed the
bill to prevent interstate commerce In

decided to defer its consideration un-
til December.

it in caucus and maintained their oppo-
sition during the senate debate on the
ground that the regulation proposed Is

Confederate pensioners are remind
which they will be permitted to sign
the new applications and conform to
the new law. In the event they fail
to renew their applications before the
LIST of September they will be barred.
Last year there were 26S on the Kinds
county list, but a great many of them
have so far failed to comply with the
terms on which they will draw pen
sions this year.
The attorney-generaps office rem
dered an opinion on the effect the
new Confederate pension act will have
on the inmates of the Beauvoir Sol
diers' Home.
The new law requires all Confeder.
ate pensioners to re-apply for pensions
and that their application should be
passed upon by pension board in
each county. The ruling of the attor-
ney generals office is that this does
not affect the inmates of the soldiers
home and that they will not have to
make additional application to the
home.
