Coinmissioner Johnson Hard at Work
Preparing the Vouchers.
Atlanta, Jan. 3.—Pension Commis
sioner Richard Johnson is hard at work
preparing the vouchers for the pay
ment of pensions to indigent confeder
ate veterans. The legislature appropri
ated for this year $238,000 for indigent
veterans and the disbursement of this
money will begin on Jan. 15.
The appropriation is $3S.OOO larger
than it was for 1CS97 and 1898 and this
constitutes most of the additional
amounts given to pensioners by this
legislature. The indigent pensioners
receive $00 a year each. The widows
of confederate soldiers will be the sec
ond class to receive pensions.
Commissioner Johnson expects to be
gin the payment of their claims between
Feb. 1 and 15. The amount paid to this
class is $60 per annum and the appro
priation for this year is $230,000.
The payment of widows’ pensions will
require about three weeks and as soon
that work is completed, say about
March 1, the payment of invalid pen
sions will begin.
The appropriation for this class is
$192,500, which is an increase of $2,500
over the amount appropriated for the
years 1S97 aud 1898.

Young Man Who Had Used His Knife
on Officers Killed.
West Point, Ga., Jan. 3.—After cut
ting up two men, the body of Ernest
Roberts lies a corpse at the home of his
father in this city.
About 2 o'clock in the afternoon Offi
cers Gallagher and Jones of Lunette,
Ala., arrested Roberts for a minor of
fense and were taking him to jaiL
When in front of that building Roberts
whipped out a large hunter’s knife and
attacked Gallagher, cutting him se
verely over the head and arm. He then
attacked Jones, who threw him to the
ground aud was trying to handcuff him.
He cut Jones across the vest and had it
not been for a pistol belt on the latter
his life would have been lost.
Seeing that Roberts was going to kill
some one, Gallagher drew his pistol,
firing two shots, both taking effect in
Roberts’ abdomen and causing his
death.
A preliminary hearing exonerated the
officer.

Apart from her father’s position, in

ipted resolutions strongly protesting
.inst any movement in congress look-

Petition of Thomas and Ryan Will
Probably He Dismissed.
Savannah, Jan. 3.—A motion to va
cate the order and dismiss the petition
of Thomas and Ryan against the Louis
ville and Nashville Railroad company
has been filed with the clerk of the
United States court here. This is the
litigation which involved the lease of
the Georgia railroad, which was at one
time owned jointly by the Louisville
and Nashville aud the Central railroad
and afterwards claimed by the Louis
ville and Nashville.
There was for some time a stubborn
fight over the lease in the United States
court, but a settlement was finally
effected between the purchasers of the
old Central and the Louisville and Nash
ville, and this compromise having been
put into effect there was no longer any
need for the suit. It will be dismissed.

Jurisdiction Claimed by Both Civil
aud Military Officers.
Greenville. S. O., Jan. 3.—The kill
ing Sunday of Private Harvey F. Steele,
company I. Second West Virginia, by
Emmettt Kane, a civilian employe, has
brought about a tangle between the
militarv and civil authorities, the latter
claiming jurisdiction, inasmuch as Kane
as not an enlisted man, but hired. The
shooting seems to have been accidental.
This is the third violent death in the
Second West Virginia since the regi
ment came here—a sergeant killing a
private, who was drunk, and another
private being killed by a provost guard.
On Christmas day a West Virginia
officer was accidentally shot and the
day the regiment came an enlisted man
was shot. Steele’s remains were shipped

Newly Acquired Territory, He Says,
3Iust Neither Be Allowed to Lapse
Into Anarchy Nor Return Under the
Sway of Tyranny.
Albany, Jan. 4.—The state legisla
ture convened today. In both the as
sembly and the senate the Republican
caucus nominees were elected. Fred
Dixon of Chautauqua county was made
speaker of the assembly and Archie
Baxter of Chemung was chosen clerk.
In the senate, T. E. Ellsworth of Niag
ara county and James S. Whipple of
Cattaragua county were elected tem
porary chairman and clerk respectively.
After a brief address by Lieutenant
Governor Woodruff, the message of the
governor, Theodore Roosevelt, was read.
Governor Roosevelt’s message opens
with a reference to the alacrity with
which New York responded to the call
for volunteers to engage in the war
with Spain. “We are Americans,” the
governor continues, “and the interests
of all Americans are equally dear to the
men of the Empire state. As we grow
into a might3* nation which, whether it
will or not, must inevitably play a great
part for good or evil in the affairs of the
world at large, the people of New York
wish it understood that they look at all
American questions of foreign policy
through a national standpoint. The
tropical islands we have taken must
neither be allowed to lapse into an
archy nor to return under the sway of
tyranny.
“War is a grim thing at best, but the
war through which we have passed has
left us not merely memories of glory
won on laud and sea, but an even more
blessed heritage, the knowledge that it
was waged from the highest motives,
for the good of others as well as for our
own national honor. Above all, we are
thankful that it brought home to all of
us the fact that the country was indeed
one when serious danger confronted it.
The men from the east and the west,
from the north and the south, the sons
of those who wore the blue and of those
who wore the gray stood shoulder to
shoulder in the fight, met the same
dangers, shared the same hardships and
won the same ultimate triumph.”
In discussing the national guard Gov
ernor Roosevelt says among other things:
“It is much to be hoped that some well-
thought-out plan may be adopted by the
national government for the use of the
guard in any future war. The guard
should be used as it was in the civil war
and should not be called out for foreign
service. The work which the national
guardsmen ought normally to perform
differs entirely from that expected from
regulars.
“Many of the troops who volunteered
gladly for the mergency, now that the
war is over, are most anxious to return.
That they are not all of them able to
return is due to the utter inadequate
size of our regular army. If our regu
lar army is, as it should be, increased to
100,000 men, the hard necessity of re
taining in the service the volunteer or
ganizations which ought not to be re
tained, will disappear.
“The lamentable result of keeping the
guard armed with archaeic weapons,
utterly unfit for modern warfare, was
shown very conclusively iu the late
contest with Spain. It is an under
statement of the case to say that a sin
gle firstclass regiment, armed with the
Krag-Jorgensen, is worth three regi
ments armed with a low power, single
shot, black powder piece like the Spring-
PEACE TREATY LAID
BEFORE THE SENATE
Referred to the Committee
on Foreign Affairs.
WILL BE GIVEN OUT LATER
House Reconvenes After the Holiday
Recess, With Less Than One Hun
dred Members on theJFloor, and Gets
Down to Work.
Washington, Jan. 4.—When the sen
ate went into executive session today,
the peace treaty which had just been
received from the president, was laid
before the senate by Senator Frye, who
occupied the chair in the absence of the
vice president. The treaty was not
read, but the president’s message accom
panying it was. This was a simple let
ter of transmittal without any word of
recommendation and was only a few
lines in length.
On motion of Senator Davis the treaty
was referred to the committee on for
eign relations and ordered printed for
the nse of the senate. No order was
made looking to making the treaty pub
lic, but it is understood that this will be
done after the treaty is passed upon by
the committee.
Senator Davis entered a motion today
to make the treaty and the proceedings
of the commission public, but upon the
suggestion of Senator Allison he with
drew that motion for the purpose of al
lowing the committee to act upon it.
A meeting of the committee on for
eign relations has been called for Fri
day and it is probable that the commit
tee will then bring in a resolution for
the publication of both the treaty and
the proceedings.
There were less than 100 members on
the floor when the house met at noon
today after flie holiday recess, but tl»
attendance in the galleries was large.
Mr. Simpson (Pop., Kan.) and Mr.
•Lewis (Dem., Wash.) appeared in their

Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 4.—Mis

They jumped as the engine struck a

Took the Bull by the Horns.
Atlanta, Jan. 4—The placing of the
insurance on state institutions, as de
veloped, has new features of interest.

sociation with broker’s rates. The as
sociation revised the old rates and the
result was a reduction on the amount
of premiums paid of $1,000 in addition
to the $8,000 saved by taking 3-year-
policies.
