A Washington dispatch says: After two hours’ debate tiie senate Friday passed Senator McCumber’s service pension bill without division, after amending it at Senator Carmack s instance so as to make it apply to survivors of the Mexican war as well as those of the civil war and so as to prohibit pension attorneys from re ceiving fees for securing pensions un de-r the bill. The words in the bill “war of the rebellion,” were changed to “civil war,” after some discussion as to what the war of ISGI to 18G5 realv was. Messrs. Money, Bacon and Patter son contended that it was “war be tween the states,” while Mr. Teller said it was either a civil war or a rebellion and he saw no opprobrium in the word “rebel.” The bill grants a pension of $l2 to survivors of the civil and Mexican wars who have reached the age of 62; $l5 to those who are 70 years of age and $2O to unose who are 75 or over. Senator McCumber estimates that if the bill becomes a law it will in crease the pension expenditures of the country to about $6,000,000 annually, while the commissioner of pensions thinks that the increase will be be tween $lO,OOO and $15,000 a year. In his remarks Senator Bacon rose and entered an earnest objection to the use of the term “war of the re bellion,” and insisted that the proper designation should be “the civil war,’’ and that this title should be used whenever that struggle was referred to in official papers. In defense or his contention, Sena tor Bacon, having the undivided at tention of the senate, proceeded with a legal explanation of the reasons for his stand, and a careful state ment of the legal and constitutional phases of the question. He declared: “I say that the term ‘rebellion’ is not a proper designation. A rebellion is resistance to an acknowledged au thority. It was a much greater war than a ‘war of rebellion.’ It was a great war between the people of the foremost nation now and among the foremost nations then of the earth on a great question about which they had been divided for nearly a hundred years, in which there was no resist ance to a recognized authority, but in which there was an insistent and a great struggle over the question as to what was the intention of the gov ernment from its foundation. “It was a war in support ot a claim of legal right, claimed on the one side and disputed on the other. It was a war, not a rebellious faction, but one between two great peoples who were made one indivisible by the result of that war. The senator from Colorado says that every one who was a confederate soldier should acquiesce in it, and be wiling to abide by the designation of the ‘war of rc belion,’ and of himself as a rebel. I was a very humble soldier in that war. a confederate soldier, and I object to it, because it is not correct, and, not being correct, it is more or less offensive” concluded Senator Bacon. In reply, to the senator from Colo rado, Mr. Teller, who called attention to the use of the word "rebellion,” in the fourteenth amendment to the constitution, Senator Bacon said: “It proves nothing, except that in the heat and tempest and flame of ill feeling, I started to say hate,which was imediatelv consequent upon the war. terms were used both north and south, which were designed to be of fensive and odious. The term ‘rebel lion.’ is odious, and what is odious, must be in a degree offensive.” STEAMER BRUNSWICK W|LOOMED By People of Havanna With Great Eclat, Jtldnsnn is Dubbed “tdmiral.” Tha steamer Brunswick of the Brunswick Steamship company’s new line, arrived in Havana harbor Fri day morning with flags and colors flying and was given a royal wel come on her maiden voyage to that port.

An attache of the Smithsonian In stitution tells of a curious inhabitant of the tropical forests called the liz ard tree, but which, as he remarks, might well be termed the centipede plant. This singular growth consists of a stem jointed like a bamboo, with green leaves growing directly from the bark, and slender white roots springing from the joints, 'with which it maintains its hold upon the bark of the tree whereon it grows. When it has attained a length of three or four feet the lower sections of the libard plant drop off, and, fastening upon any convenient object, begin their independent growth. When thus growing upon the ground, if the plant encounters a tree it immediately begins to ascend the trunk. HIS ROYAL TITLE. "Who is that silent man sitting next to Elsa?" “That!

COSTLY PRESSURE. Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee. A resident of a great. Western State puts the case regarding stimu lants with a comprehensive brevity that is admirable. He says; "I am 56 years old and have had considerable experience with stimu lants. They are all alike —a mortgage on reserved energy at ruinous inter est. As the whiD stimulates but does not strengthen the horse, so do stim ulants act upon the human system. Feeling this way, I gave up coffee and all other stimulants and began the use of Postum Food coffee some •months ago. The beneficial results have been apparent from the first. The rheumatism that I used to suffer from has left me. I sleep sounder, my nerves are steadier and my brain clearer. And I bear testimony also to the food value of Postum—some thing that is lacking in coffee.” Name given by Postum Cos., Battle Creek, Mich. There’s a reason.

ALSO MATERIAL EVIDENCE President Insists That Ga lt of Colored Soldiers is Concius.ve--Submits Empty Shells. Bullets, Etc. President Roosevelt Monday sent to congress a special message re garding the Brownsville incident, which gives the additional vidence collected by Assistant Attorney Gen eral Purdy and Major Blocksom, who were sent to Texas by the president to investigate the affair. The report submitted with his mes sage, including maps of Brownsville and Fort Brown, a bandoleer, 23 empty shells, seven ball cartridges, picked up in the streets a few hours after the shooting; three steel jacket ed bullets and some scraps of the casings of other bullets picked out of the houses into which they had been fired. The president declares that the evi dence is positive that the outrage of August was committed by some of the colored troops that have been dismissed and that some or all of the individuals of the three compa nies the twenty-fifth infantry had knowledge of the deed and have shielded the guilty ones. The negro troops are referred to by the president in his message as “mid night assassins,” and he declares that very few, if any, of the soldiers dis missed “without hcuor” could have been ignorant of what occurred. That part of the order which bars the soldier from all civil employment under the government is revoked by the president. This clause, the pres ident says, was lacking validity. The discharged troopers, however, will be forever barred from enlisting in the army or navy and as to this the I president says that “there is mo doubt of my constitutional and legal power.” Secretary Taft’s report giving the sworn testimony of witnesses is trans mitted with the message. The testi mony of fourteen eye witnesses is given and the president declares that the evidence is conclusive that tho weapons used were Springfield rifles now used by United States troops, in cluding the negro troops who were in the garrison at Brownsville. Taking but a brief time to pass the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, carrying nearly 1,000,000, the senate devoted the remainder of the day to the Browns ville affray. The president’s message was read and ordered printed. The speech-making on the subjeot began and oontijnued until 5:80 o'clock. Mr. Foraker saying he was not going to make a speech, “but a few re marks.” observed that the testimony amounts to a great deal, “for the president tells us it is conclusive.” “But it does not remove the ob jection I have had from the begin ning of the proceedings. What I have been trying to contend for, and I hope I will be successful, is to secure a healing for the men charged with this serious crime. This testimony ha 9 been taken as the other w ; as, behind closed doors, without anybody repre senting the men. Stating that he did not agree with, the president in all he has done in this case, Mr. Mallory of Florida di gressed to call attention to what ho regarded as the best illustration that could be given of the ir.competency of the negro to grapple with great questions. His illustration was the criticism of the president by a negro mass meeting at Boston. A negro, he said, held the most lucrative federal office in Florida, as collector of in ternal revenue; the collector of cus toms at Savannah, C.a., w r as a negro, and the collector of internal revenue of the state of Georgia was a negro, and everyone knew the fight which the senate had made against Crum, a negro, made collector of the port at Charleston. “But,” added Mr. Mallory, “the pat riots of Boston, who probably are tha best representatives of the negro race in this country, allow themselves to be carried away by the pasLjn of the moment, unable to look fairly and and squarely at a proposition which should be judged justly and honestly, forget that they are under great obli gations to the president, and send forth a denunciation of the best friend they have ever had in office.”
