The House committee on invalid pensions yesterday authorized a favorable report on a bill granting a pension of $75 to the widow of Gan, Thomas Ewing of Ohio. New Battle Ships. The naval committee of the House is now @iecussing thé questions of the number of new battle ships and the building of a dry dock at Algiers, near New Orleans. Since the appearance of Chief Hichborn of the bureau of construction before the committee last week two or three members have predicted that the battle ships would be reduced from six—the number recom- mended by the subcommittee—to four, be- cause he asserted that the armor plate plants now at work could not turn out enough armor to keep pace with the build- ing of more than four ships. The same opposition is encountered by the advocates of the Algiers dry dock, while the enthusiasts for the increase of the navy have met the determination of Speaker Reed and the chairman of import- ant committees to keep down the appro- priations on account of the condition of the treasury. To Admit New Mexico. The subcommittee of the Serate commit- tee appointed to consider the bill for the admission of New Mexico decided unani- mously today to report to the full com- mittee in favor of the passage of the bill. The subcommittee will report the bill as introduced by Delegate Catron with a few verbal changes. While it is understood that the bill wil! encounter some opposi- tion in the full committee its friends ex- Fress confidence that the subcommittee’s recommendation will b2 accepted by a ma- jority of the entire committee, and that they will soon get the bill into the Senate with a favorable recommendation. Naval Officers and Allotments. The Senate committee on naval affairs today authorized a favorable report on the bill allowing naval officers to make allot- ment of their pay while at sea, and making legal the allotments heretofore made. The bill is intended te meet the objections of the Treasury Department to paying the salaries of officers to their families and others on orders while the officers are ab- sent from this country. Against the Anti-Option Bill. A subcommittee of the House committee on agriculture today decided to recommend to the full committee that the anti-option bill be reported adversely. The full com- mittee will pass upon it tomorrow. Protests Against the Loud Bill. A committee representing New York pub- lishing firms is In the city engaged in sub- mitting protests against the passage of the Loud Dill relating to second-class pos- tal matter. % Confirmations. The Senate in executive session has con- firmed the following nominatiors: Postmasters: Illinois—M. V. B. Smith, at Morrison. Michigan—G. R. Fitzsimmons, at Reading; F. S. Fitch, at Pontiac. Kansas—Scott W. Carney, at Downs; R. M. Todd, at Halstead. Kentucky—J. M. Young, at London. Ways and Means Hearings. Between March 16 and March 21 the com- mittee on ways and means will conduct a series of hearings on reciprocity and com- mercial treaties. The committee has mail- ed about 5,000 circulars of inquiry to mer- chants and manufacturers actually en- gaged in the export trade, asking a series of questions designed to elicit information that will be valuable in considering future legislation. ———__+ 2 -_____ THE POLICY OF EXTERMANATION. Slaughter of Non-Combatants Cuba. Fidel Pierra, in charge of the Cuban news bureau in New York, gives out the following statement: “From a letter dated Santiago de Cuba, February 28, the following paragraphs are copied: ‘Although Gen. Weyler says that robody will be punished in any way unless he is convicted of some crime, assassination proceeds on a large scale. In order that you in -| may judge to what extent it is carried on, 1 will give you a few instances. “On the morning of the 14th instant, in the ward of Maraville, in the town of Guan- tanamo, the following persons were found murdered: Celestion Perran, colored, planter, fifty years old; Luciano Faure, colored, Planter, forty years old; Policarpo Baro, col- ored, planter, forty years old; Elias Duran, colored, laborer, thirty-five years old; Mai uel Monoz, colored, planter, seventy years old; Miguel Perrez, colored, laborer, fifty- eight years old; Felix Casado, white, planter, ferty years old; Rufino Luque, white, planter, thirty-eight years old; Blas Jimenez, white, planter, forty years old; Jose Gomez, white, plzhter, twenty-one years old; Ramon Ma- jeta, colored, laborer, forty-five years old; Tomas Specht, colored, laborer, twenty years old; Rufael Carbonell, colored, laborer, fifty years old. ““The first of the individuals named had deft this city the previous day for Guanta- namo with his stepdaughter.

TWO QUEER PATENTS. A Safety Poison Bottle and an Auto- matic Hat Lift. Among the 454 patents granted this week by Commissioner of Patents Seymour there are two peculiar ones. One is the product of a western man’s inventive genius, and seems to have more than the ordinary amount of merit, It is known as the “‘safe- ty poison bottle,” and the object is to pre- vent people from getting hold of the wrong bottle in the dark. The bottle which con- tains the poison, whatever it is, is supplied with this contrivance, so that should a per- son pick it up suddenly a number of needles are projected into the hand of the one picking up the bottle. Although the bottle in some cases may be dropped the inventor believes that the safety from mis- takes will more than pay for the cost. The other patent is also granted to a western man, and ts for a patent hat lifter, which will allow the wearer to lift his hat to a lady without taking his hands from his pocket. All the wearer has to do is to in- cline his head, and the hat is projected up- ward, describes a semi-circle and settles back again on the head of the wearer. —_—_\_\_-o.___.

The Bill to Abolish Contract Work— Business of the Building The regular weekly meeting of the Fed- eration of Labor last evening was atteni- ed by the representatives of forty-six or- ganizations, and, as usual, President James ¥. McHugh occupied the chair. Credentials to fill vacancies were pre- sented, and the delegates admitted from the Structural Iron Workers, Carriage Makers, Bottling House Employes and Marine Engineers. A new delegation was also admitted from the local branch of Lithographers’ International Protective and Beneficial Association. Mr. E. M. Blake, chairman of the legis- lative committee, who was requested at the suffrage conference held at the office of Dr. Robert Reyburn, Monday night, to arrange with the Senate District committee for a hearing on that subject, reported that Senators McMillan and Faulkner have been designated as a subcommittee to hear argu- ments on the question, and that they will be prepared to hear arguments from those paeeven ton at an early day, probably this week. In reference to the bill before the Senate District committee providing for the sub- stitution of day’s work for contract work in public construction, Mr. Blake expressed hope of early and favorable action. In this connection he stated that the District Commiesioners had reported agains: the Lill without assigning any reason for their unfavorable view, but the Senate commit- tee had sent the bill back to them for a more explicit statement of their objections after hearing the argument of the Federa- tion committee. Mr. Blake referred to the report made by Superintendent McKenzie of the street sweeping department in re- sponse to the Senate committee's reques: and said that it presented an unusual strong srgument in favor of municipal con- trol of puvlic work; for Mr. McKenzie claimed that in his department the con- tractors were faithful and honest. Accord- ing to the report municipal coatrol was to be preferred to the contrac: system, even when that system was seen under the most favorable conditions. A communication to the Federation from Mr. C. F. Bechtold of St. Louis, national secretary of the Brewery Workers’ Union, in reference to the beer boycot’, was read and placed on file. It said: “Your favor of the 25th ultimo informing me of the ac- Songer your honorable body in behalf of our locked-out members, is to hand.

A communication from the Bakers’ As- sembly was read, inclosing a bill forbidding Sunday labor in bakeries and Sunday de- liveries of bread. The paper was referred to the legislative committee. In reference to the matter of notifying the proprietors of the various river steam- boats that the members of organized labor societies will expect only union products to be sold thereon, a resolution was adopted that each organization send such a notice to the owners mentioned. The Musical Association, Eccentric En- gineers, Carrlage Makers and Shoemakers reported that they had already taken such action. The tailors reported that never before has their organization been in such a prosperous condition, and that its roll of membership contains the name of every member of the craft in the District.

Senor Romero Attaches No Import- ance to the Movement. The officials here have heard nothing of the reported raid by Mexicans into the state of Sonora, with a view to inciting a revolution, nor have any instructions been sent to the customs officers on the border to be on the lookout for the raiders. Senor Romero, the Mexican minister here, how- ever, has received information of the pro- pered invasion, but he attaches no import- ance to the movement. He says that the people engaged in it are cattle stealers and marauders, and, but for the fact that they are likely to commit depredations and pos- sibly kill a number of innocent people, their movements would be of no consequence. The leaders are men of no standing or char- acter, and represent no one but themselves. —\_\_-e.___ Gov. Greenhalge Buried.

The meeting was opened with the usual musical exercises, after which Prof. Cook read the paper in question. The author of the paper stated that it had its origin at the Lincoln meeting, held under the aus- pices of the society some weeks ago, when the work of the white man was praised so highly. The author stated that he had taken up this thread and proposed to re- vive the old race questi that existed In the south before the war. The wording and feeling of the sentiments expressed in the paper were remarkable, although Helter disapproval nor approval was ex- pressed by those who heard it read. The author said that while so much was being said about what the south had done for the negro it was time that some attention was. paid to what the negro had done for the south. The colored man, however, the author stated, had made his impression on the white man, and one which is bound to be recognized hereafter. ——_—_ The Death Rate.
