Lord eaten, the third Baron, receives an annual pension of $10,000, which has been running for about sixty years} Viscount Gough, $15,000, bestowed on his grandfather sixty years ago: Viscount Gough, $10,- 000, bestowed on his grandfather fifty years ago. and Lord Napier, $10,000. bestowed on his father nearly forty years ago. Many other members of the leading families of the aristocracy cost the nation a large yearly amount in the shape of pensions. One of the most scandalous cases in connection with the pension business- is that of the* pension still being paid to the heirs of th*’ Duke of Schomberg, which was granted in 1694 and origin ally amounted to $20,000 a year.. Part of this pension was redeemed by the government through a large payment In cash, hut there are still $3,500 being paid annually by the nation to a per sonage who had nothing whatever to do with the Schomberg family. Then the state still pays, annual' In demnities and compensations for old claims like that of the Duke of Corn wall. who was awarded an indemnity for his discovery-of lead coinage. Just now such a discovery is not of any value commercially or otherwise, hut the government still pays the indemni- ity granted many years ago. It is proposed to abolish all such pen sion in the future if Parliament will consent to pass a bill for the purpose and it is also planned to propose a bill forbidding in the future the granting of any hereditary pension from the government. Another agitation is on foot among the members of Parliament to. obtain from the government an annual salary of $3,000. following the recent example of their French colleagues. Lord Rob ert Cecil, son of the late Marquis of Salisbury, has interested himself al ready in the matter, and at a recent seance has asked from the Chancellor of the Exchequer an annual appropria tion of $2,000,000 to meet the increase in the indemnity of the members.

To Get Rid of Tobacco Worm. Mr. James, of Kentucky, spoke for protection against the tobacco worm. He said; "The tobacco trusts have now low ered the price of tobaeo and the neces sity for some concerted action on the part of the Government is apparent. This is equivalent to placing a tax on tobacco and keeping tlm farmers from selling at a reasonable price. It allows ihe trusts slid monopolies to tlx the price for their tobacco and insist that as bang ns the Gove: nmeut will r.ot give the farmers any relief from these com binations that It ought to at least give them the same chance In order that the worms and Insects may be killed with out the farmers having to labor their lives away in catching the pests."

The recent order of the Secretary preventing the issuance of patents to the public lands until after an examl- nation on the ground by a special agent, was the subject of criticism, and many Senators from Western j States by casual Interruptions showed their approval of the sentiments , pressed. Mr. Heyburn took the position that the order was legally an order of the President. He said the President in a . recent message had said “practically,” that he (the President) had ordered the j Secretary of the Interior not to exe- 1 cute the public land laws. Mr. Hey- . burn declared that the order had abso lutely denied the right of one genera- 1 tion to avail itself of any benefits to i be derived from the public land laws. Tile Indian appropriation bill was re ported to the Senate today. It carries $14,509,201. a net increase of $6,396,132 i over the bill as passed by the House.

The execu tion of the-e orders sent the market off to 9.11 for March and 9.36 for July during the first few minutes, or about 5a^ points net lower-and to a new low level for the season, but ns soon as the liquidation had run its course, the market rallied on cov ering of shorts and a little buying for a turn prompted by the smaller estimates for tomorrow's receipts at leading points, and reports of a better demand for low grade cotton front New Orleans. The-close "was at practically the best point of the session on the active months with March net’ unchanged and October 13 points net higher. The March-May differences widened to 17 points during the day. showing the apprehension of March tenders toward the- end of Febru ary. Unsettled conditions in Wal! street led to some Wall street selling during the early session. Southern spot markets, as officially reported, were generally un changed.

The buy ing with this object showed no disposi tion to follow the advances after it had achieved its purpose.

The buying from the bears was conducted with a de gree of deliberation and lack or urgency that kept open all the feeling of suspi cion towards the rally avnongst the trad ing element.
