PE’NSI'N LEGISLATION.

Much of the Senate’s Time Was Taken
Up With Private Bills.

CONTENTION or MIL-MORGAN

He Declares That Congress Is Not Now
and HasNot Been Legally In Ses-
sion—On the Tariff Schedules
Again—Capital Chitchat.

Washington, June 30.,—Severa1 hun-
dred pension bills were reported to the
senate today as the result of the first
meeting of the pension committee since
the present congress assembled. Mr.
Gallinger (N. H.), chairman of the
committee, stated that it'had been de-
cided to report favorably all those bills
which had formerly passed either
branch of congress or had been favor-
ably considered in committee.

Three general pension bills were in-
cluded, two of them amending the law
of 1890 and another referring to proof
in pension cases.

It took half an hour to read the list
of private pension bills. When it was
concluded, Mr. Morgan (Ala.) com-
mented on the fact that the men and
women named in these bills must wait
for relief owing to the inaction of one
of the branches of congress. At this
time congress was without the oppor—
tunity or liberty to pass one of these
pension bills. Congress was not even
in session, asserted Mr. Morgan. The
lawyers of the country would look into
this question, and there was a great
deal of trolible ahead over this ques-
tion of congress being in session.

At first Mr. Morgan urged the adop-
tion of a resolution postponing all ac-
tion on pension bills until next Decem-
ber, but he was dissuaded from this,
saying his main desire was to call the
attention of pensioners to the manner
in which they were mocked by having
bills reported to an inactive congress.

Tarifl‘ Bill Taken Up.

The tariff bill was then taken up and
paragraph 189, relating to watch move-
ments, clocks, etc., perfected by strik-
ing out the clauses on watches and on
jewels for making watches and confin-
ing the paragraph to those articles not
made of china, porcelain, etc.

The foregoing changes were made to
the original house paragraph. They led
to extended opposition from Mr. Vest
and Mr. Jones (Ark), who protested
against the heavy duties on articles of
[time necessity.

Mr. Lodge (Mass) answered that the
watch industry had been revolutionized
by American machinery. We made
watches so much better and cheaper
that no handmade watch could com-
pete with them. Now the Swiss makers
had bought American machinery, and
operated it with comparatively cheap
labor. Mr. Lodge exhibited Swiss
which purported to be of
American make, and as such were in-
vading the American market.

Mr. Hoar (Mass), after reviewing the
growth of the American watéh indus-
try, predicted that the proposed duties
would give the American market better
American watches and in time at a
reduction of 50 or 60 per cent of present
prices.

Mr. Gear (1a.) showed a Japanese
watch purporting to be of American
make produced by cheap Japanese la-
bor and selling for $8, while the Ameri-
can watch of the same kind could not
be produced for less than $17.

After further debate the paragraph
was agreed to with the changes noted,
36—26.

wuost HUN :3 IT?

A Local Occurrence That
Will Interest Many
Readers.

 

If when a'foghorn warns the mariner
to shear oil the coast, he still hugs the
shore and wrecks upon it, whose fault
is it? If the red switch light is up and
the engine driver deliberately pulls
ahead and pitches into another train,
blame the driver. If a careless work-
man will, in. spite of warnings, try to
find out how many teeth a buzz saw has
and the saw tries to find out how many
fingers the workman has, blame the
workman—not the saw. If a sick man
knows that a certain medicme is doing
him good, and he carelessly neglects to
use it. blame the man not the medicine.
If Norwalk people who have kidney
complaint and backache will not take
Doan’s Kidney Pills, when they are en-
dorsed by scores of citizens, blame the
people, not the endorsers.

Mrs. Joseph Whitley of 61 Belden
avenue, says: “ I was reading the pa-
pers one evening, and came across an
advertisement of Doan’s Kidney Pills,
and at the time I was annoyed with a
pain in the small of my back and was
thinking of trying some preparation to
see if I could get relief. Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills seemed to me to be above the
average judging from the cures they
had made, and I got a box at Hale’s
drug store and took them. They pro-
duced decided and satisfactory results.
I recommend them to my friends.”

Doan’s Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers, price 50 cents per box, 6
boxes for $2.50. Sent by mail on receipt
of price. Foster-Milburn Co., Buil'alo,

Remember the name Doan’s and take
no other.

GIRL A TRAIN WRBGKBR?

Fannie Taylor Charged With Placing 0b-
structions on the Track.

Providence, June 30.——Fannie Taylor,
19, was arrested today at Slocumville,
near hereqon a charge of train wreck-
ing. She is thought to be crazy.

Since last Tuesday night five sepa-
rate attempts have been made to wreck
the postal express train that passes
Slocumville at‘12z55 o’clock. A peculiar
feature of the case is that the ob-
structions have all been placed on the
track at practically the same point,
and on four occasions apparently un-
der the very eyes of the patrolmen.

The railroad officials became seriously
alarmed on Saturday, and Deputy Sher-
iff Wilcox was put in charge of the
case. He began by sending one of his
men to watch the cabin of a farmhand
who lives back in the woods about half
a mile from the point where the several
attempts to wreck the train had been
made. While the section hands were
patrolling the track the night after the
first attempt to derail the train the sec-
tion boss, Myron Plimpton, had seen
the man’s 19-year-old daughter on the
track near the place where the train
subsequently crashed through a pile of
fence rails. On Saturday. night 'the
sheriff’s man saw‘ the girl leave the
house. Later on, in spite of all this
watching, rails were again found on
the tracks within 100 feet of the place
where the former attempts had been
made. .

The girl. it seems, has acted queerly
for some time, and her mind is appar-
ently affected. The one definite at-
tempt on which the suspicions against
her are based—that of her being found
on the tracks at a very unusual hour—
is in part discounted by the statement
that she has long been in the habit of
roaming the woods at unseasonable
hours.

The postal express is run for the ac-
commodation of the government and
the express companies. It is made up
of three postal cars and from three to
six express cars. Valuable express mat-
ter. the exchange of the banks, to say
nothing of the registered mail matter,
are said to make it, of all trains on the
road, the one that wreckers would'be
likely to attempt to reach. .

The point where the attempts to ditch
the train have been made is about 600
yards north of Slocumville station,
about midway between Slocumville sig-
nal tower and Kingston Hill crossing.
The road here passes through a narrow
cut and stretches away on either hand
for six or seven miles in an almost
straight line. The low hills in this vi-
cinity are crowded with a dense, low
growth of trees that is almost impene-
trable.

MAY RECALL WEYLER.

Spain’s Attitude In the Pending Negotia-
tions For Peace.

London, June 30.-—The Pall Mall Ga-
zette this afternoon prints the following
dispatch from its correspondent at
Madrid:

“Public attention is engrossed by the
appointment of General Stewart L.
Woodford as United States minister to
Spain. While the government continues
to repudiate the intention of recalling
General Weyler, I am in a position to
reiterate that his recall will be an ac-.
complished fact at no distant date. I
learn that in all probability Generals
Blanco and Macris will proceed to the
island and divide the supreme com-
mand, and l have good- reason to be-
lieve that coincident with the arrival
here of General Woodford Marshal
Campos will proceed upon his separate
mission to Cuba.

“In accordance with the wishes of
President McKinley, Campos should be

the executor of any arrangements pos— ,

sibly reached between Spain and the
United States. Intimate friends of Senor
Canovas del Castillo, however, declare
the premier will strenuously oppose
autonomy. Castelar, the Liberal lead-
er, is also opposed to anything of the
kind. They both consider that such a
concession would render it 'very difli:
cult to maintain Spanish sovereignty.

“The report that the United States
will insist upon autonomy and the with-
drawal of the Spanish troops, and that
otherwise it will intervene by force, if
necessary, does not make for a peace-
ful solution, and the position is regard-
ed throughout Spain with considerable
anxiety.”
