TO AMEND THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW. Mr. Baker (MY.) introduced in the House Yesterday @ bill to amend the interstate com- merce law. The bill embodies the ameud- ments suggested in the last report of the com- Missioners concerning preferences by common carriers aud goods shipped to and trom foreign countries. (ue section provides that nothing in the act shail prevent the free carriage of persons injured in railroad acciderts to # place for treatment. or of physicians to attend them, or of members of families of railroad em- Ployes. The allowance of commissions for the sale of passenger tickets or for influencing or Procuring passenger transportation is pro- ibited. “It is provided that transportation tickets not used must be redeemed at the re- quest of the purchaser, the company being al- lowed a small discount. ‘The sale of any ticket which has been partially used shall be | bridies for the occasion, but the muzzies did deemed « violation of the law and the violator may be subject to punishment, Common car- riers are prohibited under prescribed penalties to pay or allow any valuable consideration to secure the forwarding of immigrants by any Particular route. or to procure the shipment of immigrants from foreign countries, and any common carrier violating this provision shail be subject to a fine of not more than #5,000 nor less than $1,000 for each offense. and per- sons who shall pay or receive or offer to pay or receive any such commission shall also be sub- ject to punishment. Nothing in the act, how- ever. isto be construed to prevent common carriers making arrangements among them- selves for the routing of immigrants. The ia- terstate commerce commission is directed to determine what rate of compensation, if any, may be allowed or paid by aw: rier for the use of any car owned by any other corporation or firm. Violations of this pro- Vision are to be subject to a fine not exceeding 21,000, and any officer or agent of a common esrrier so offending shall im addition to this fine be liable to imprisonment not excceding one year. A SERVICE PENSION BILT. Representative Morrill of Kansas yesterday intreduced im the House a bill providing for a service pension to soldiers of the late war and | their widows, &e. It grants « pension of #5 per month to any officer or enlisted man sixty- of age or over who served ninety the army, navy or marine corps dur- ¢ late war and received an honorable dis- charge. All soldiers who served ninety days or more in the military or naval service in the late war. and who ure now or may hereafter be sufferiug from mental or physica! disability equivalent to the grade now established in the pension office at $8 per month, shall be granted a pension of #5 per month during the existence of the disability. In the case of any officer or eulisted man who served three mouths and has died leaving a widow over sixty-two years of age it is provided that such widow shall be granted a pension of 8 per month during widowhood. It is farther pro- vided that any officer or enlisted man who served three months or more in the late war who has died leaving a widow without other means of support than her daily labor, or minor children under the age of sixteen years, such widow or minor children shall be granted &® pension of #8 per month during widowhood, and in case of her death leaving a child or children under sixteen years such pension be paid such child or children, provided she shall have married the soldier prior to the paseage of this ‘Mr. Morrill says the enactment of this bill into a law would place about 400.000 additional nsioners on the rolls at once. and about 000 each vear thereafter. WHO WOULDN'T BE A VETERAN? The latest novelty in the line of proposed Pension legislation made its appearance in the Senate resterday ina bill which Senator In- galls (by request) presented. The measure provides that « soldier who has lost both eyes, or one arm, or one leg. or both arms or both may marry “some one to take care of him.” After the soldier's death the widow is to receive £12 per month so long as she re- frains from marrying again. Should the sol- dier’s bride desert him for six consecutive months he may be divorced by a county court at a total expense of 25. PREFERENCE TO VETERANS OF THE LATE WAR. Among the billé introduced in the Senate yesterday was one by Mr. Evarts to ensure preference to veterans of the late war in em- ployment on public works. This bill provides that Union soldiers, sailors and marines shall be given preference for certification, appoint- ment, employment and retention in every pub- lie works of the government andin competitive non-competitive examinations of the civil service. Age, loss of limbs or other physical impairme.:ts which do not incapacitate shall not disqualify the applicant provided he possesses Recessary business capacity. Such persons, unless employed for a statutory term, shall not be dimined except on charges and after a hearing. Violation of this law by heads of de- partments. officials, boards of examinations or others is to be prosecuted as a misdemeanor. TO PREVENT DESERTIONS FROM THE ARMY. Mr. Plumb introduced a bill in the Senate yesterday to prevent desertions from the army. ‘The bill provides that after July 1, 18#). there shall be retained from the pay of each en- usted man $4 month for the first year of en- listment. which shall not be paid to him until his discharge, and which shall be forfeited un- jess he serves honorably and faithfully to the date of his discharge. The Secretary of War iw to determine what misconduct shall consti- ‘tute failure to fultill these conditions. but no deserter shall be deemed to have fulfilled them, The sum so deducted shall be considered u de- it, bearing interest from the end of the year iu which they are made. Enlistments are to continue, as under the present law, for five years, but at the end of three years’ service a soldier who has served faithfully shali be enti- ted to three mouths’ furlough ‘and to be dis- charged ou application in time of peace. United States marshals and sheriffs and the: deputies, constables and police officers are au- thorized to arrest deserters. In time of peace the President may permit any culisted men to hase his discharge. The army ration is to increased by the addition of one pound of vegetables.

There is a good story going around the Cap- itol about Mr. Kilgore, which shows the em- inent statesman from Texas to have be- lieved in a free ballot a number of years ago, When the honorable gentleman was in the first flush of success and he found himself a full-fledged justice of the peace for the com- monwealth of Texas, The first trial ided over by the young justice is described as a marvel of judicial fairness. The case was of unusual popular interest and the little room was crowded by friends of the interested parties, The wordy battle raged for some time, when the lawyer for the defendant moved to quash the indictment and proceeded to make an eloquent appeal. The time had now come for Mr. Kilgore to show the judicial bent of his mind and, assuming a 16-karat dig- nity, he proceeded to give his decision. “There are a number of strong points in the ® just made,” said the embryo Representa- tive, ut still the court is not absolutely con- | ¥inced. I will then put the question: All those in favor of quashing the indictment will signify by saying aye.” The friends of the defendant im the audience sent up a mighty aye: “those opposed, no,” and the plaintiff's friends used their lungs with good effect. The ayes seem to have it, the ayes have it. The trial is off and the court is ud- journed,.” CAUGHT IN AN ALLIGATOR’S JAWS. A Pretty Snake Chat a# Hardened Repti From the New York Sun, Today Alna Don Janata, a good-looking young woman, has been charming suakes in the Har- Jem musenm, 20W 3d avenue, for some time past.

With the help of man attendant she raised the bigger alligator above her head and held him on the palms of her hands amid loud applause. Then she earetully lowered him to the floor. His head was turned from the spectators and to enable them to get a better view of him she began to turn him about. The alligator opened his mouth aud closed his jaws on three fingers of the snake charmer’s right hand. He heid her like a vise and flopping over on his side threw her down, The spectators screamed. The lecturer cut short his tlow of oratory, seized a piece of iron pipe and sprang over the wire fence inclosing the platform.

August Donath in the Craftsman, P The interesting article in Tuz Evexine Stan of March 8, giving a history of the old Col- umbia typographical society, and its trans formation as Columbia typographical union, 101, called back old times in many a breast. And especially was it a treat to look once more upon the honest face of Wm. R. McLean, our gallant leader, our wise counsellor for so many years. It makes one feel young to recall him, upon whose words of wisdom we youngsters hung, whose sound advice we never dreamed of questioning. He has been dead u half score | years, but £ y Te not one of the many stanch | men we have lost in the seve twenty years | since I joined the old soc whose loss is | still so earnestly deplored. Of earthly goods | our friend left none. In money matters his heart was greater than his head, and so long ax money Was in his purse his hand would promptly go there at the sight of one in need. Neither do I know whether « monument marks | the last resting place of Wm. Kk. McLean; but | this I know. that his memory yet abides with | those to whom so long he was a tower of | strength. For twenty-six years Mr. McLean | was the foreman of Tur Evexixa Stan, and right worthily has his son Richard followed in his footsteps, both as foreman and a8 a union printer, I feel impelled to add as a matter of just acknowledgment that while for the last six- teen months of his life Mr. McLean was unable | to discharge the duties of his position on Tur Stax his salary was paid in full each Saturda night. And this, too. when during nearly } half this time two other trusted employes, both on their homeward road, were similari; y! dealt with, Iam one of the very tew who | knew the fact, aud it does me good ‘to make it | known. — Foreign Notes of Interest. i An Italian, his wife and beautiful daughter have been expelled from the kaiser’s dominion They were nominally models for painters an sculptors, butare found to be nibilists and to have been for years distributing nihilistic pamphlets aud inculeating the doctrines of their order.

Wild, who was sent to prison fora year for refusing todo menial duty for Lieut, Steele and was sum- marily released by otder of President Harri- son, is eclipsed by the case of Lewis Carter, private in the twenty-fifth infantry. who has already served nearly five years of a ninety- nine-year sentence in the Minnesota state prison. The case is probably withouta parallel in either civil or military history. On the 24th of November, 1994. Carter, who, by the way, is a colored man, was stationed with his regiment at Fort Snelling, Minn. Two or three days afterward Carter was in St. Paul intoxicated. and ran things with a high hand. His actions, however, were not called to the attention of the city police, and he went buck toFortSnelling unmolested. Arriving there he was arrested on four charges—crim- inal assault on a woman, simple assault,robbery and desertion. Brig. Gen. Terry. then in charge of the department of Dakota, summoned 4“ court-martial, to assemble at Fort Snell, January 27, 1885. This court was composed o} Capts. Benzonio, Lawson, Roche and Stivers. First Lieuts, Tully and Glenn and Second Lieuts. Phillips, Ahern and Tear, all of the twenty-fifth infantry, while First Lieut, Luden of the fourth artillery acted as judge advocate. The court, after a very brief session and appar- ently without attempting to probe the truth of the charges, found Carter guilty of all the four offenses and, with the usual army severity of punishing criminals, sentenced him to Stili- water prison for ninety-nine years. Attorney Fred L. MeGhee of St. Paul has giving this case searching attention Wild’s release and whathe has found out is astounding. He discovered in West St. Paul the woman on whom the criminal nssanit was alleged to have been made wid obtained from her an affidavit that Ci had neither assaulted nor attempted to sault her. ‘Then McGhee secured evidence that no robbery had been committed and sent the two affidavits to Washington. The action of the President was prompt and decisive. He found that Carter was guilty only of desertion and has issued a full and free pardon, which is to go into effect May 25, just five years from the date of im- prisoument, The President alyo reprimanded the court-martial. 7 = The Desertion Quest! To the Editor of Tue Evesixo Star T have read with interest Gen, Crook's state- ment, as published in Tue Sran. relative to de- sertions from the army.?His explanation of the remarkable number of desertions 1s that the enlisted man is not respected by the public. This is an explanation that does not explain. Gen, Crook is undoubtedly on the right track, but he has failed to carry bis investigation to its logical conclusion, He does not tell us why the public does not respect the private soldier, while the militia dear to its heart. ‘The reason is plain, The public is American i It respects a man as long as jed within him the possibility of Under onr for the culisted man y au an enlisted man, serve he never so well and faithfully. In our militia organizations the priv ¥ reasoni- bly expect some day to be an officer. tn France and Germany, where the soldier is respected. every man carries the marshal’s baton in his haversack. In England, where our system ob- tains, the enlisted man is an object of con- tempt. Our army ix bad, our navy is worse—a crowd of foreign seamen man our new vessels. And it never will be otherwise as long as the intu- ence of West Point and Annapolis prevents the private soldier from aspiring to command and the sailor from hoping to crawl through the hawse-hole into the cabin. HM. ther A City in Darkness. Columbus, Ohio, was in darkness last night, owing tothe temporary injunction issued by Judge Pugh on the petition of anattorney who has claims against the city which have not been satisfied. There isan old law on the books that prohibitea city from making contracts un- less the money is in the treasury. It is claimed by the plaintiff that at the time the contract was made with the electric light company there were no fnnds in the city treasury aud the con- tract was illegal. ‘Lhe assistant city solicitor is also enjoined from performing any service for the same reason, and the city clerk is enjoined from paying out any innds.

The people of Oklahoma had a great time last Thursday night. Representative Mansur of Missouri is in receipt of letters from the land of boomers in which the joy of the writers and their friends is luridly depicted. The House committee on territories had been some- what slack on the Oklahoma territorial bill and had practically laid it aside for future discus- sion when the President quietly notified the majority that something was needed to be done assoonas possible. That stirred the committee up and Col. Mansur last Wednesday telegraphed to Guthrie the welcome information that on the following day at 4 o'clock a vote would be taken on the bill, and he added the easy Prephesy that the bill would undoubtedly pass. Phat started all Oklahoma to making prepara- tions fora great hurrah, On Thursday after- noon, a8 soon as the Speaker announced the passage of the bill by an overwhelming ma- Jority—160 to 25—Col. Mansur wired the infor- mation to Guthrie. ‘hree thousand men were crowded around the post office waiting for the news and when the dispatch was read to them they sent up the wildest yell ever beard in that region.

In point of fact, i# may be truthfully said that it is without am equal in this respect any where im the world, These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on euch Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published in Tue Sram on the 15th of January, 1590, Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- scribers, ‘The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales | Over the office counter, at the news stands, end by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied reguiarly to per- mauent residents of the city living in lodgiags, &c, (not houscholders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle, While its aggregate circulation there- fore gives Tux Stan a distinctive ang enviable position in modern journalism, the fuliness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pure chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published cap furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It isa well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who seck and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the | growth of Tue Stan's advertising patronage, Nothing can more eurely illustrate the esteem in which eny article is held by the public than constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by | month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentiouscompetition. The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMLNTS CRDNTED Et 1887. 1885, 1889. 3,615 4,076 4,556 3,547 3,924 4,529 4,669 4,603 5,494 S478 4,956 5,556 5,393 5,171 6,033 4,522 4,606 5,529 335i 3,915 4,483 3170 3,508 4,606 4,517 4,904 5,559 3,313 5,412 6,589 5,038 4,689 6,107 5,083 5,007 5,795 Torat 41,499 15,910 But it is not alone in numbers that the great increase of advertising is shown.

And this, it must {| be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, etc., such as occasionally swell the business of political organs, being included im ite patron age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, fm proportion to the extent and high character of ite circulation, Tax Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement bereia made can be abundantly verified THE ClR- CULATION OF THE PAPER IS SWORN TQ) ITS PRESS AND CIRCULATION ROOMS ARB OPENTO THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED BY ANY ONE HAVING AN INTEREST IN THEIR EXAMINATION.
