Mr. Vest then offered an- other amendment providing that no part of the capital stock paid in shall be at any time withdrawn, or rcturned to the stockholders or be inany manner diverted from the proper uses of the corporation. Mr. Teller opposed the amendment. Mr. Hoar suggested to Mr. Vest_to modify the amendment by allowing stock to be re- turned to stockholders for the purpose of winding up the corporation; and Vest modi- fled it accordingly. Mr. Vance called the attention of repub- fican senators to the fact that the bill omitted to require all materials used in the work to be of American Ianufactore, and he prophesied (in a bantering tone) that *These fTellows would buy their iron und steel and other materials wherever they could get them cheapest and best.” Mr, Teller replied if the managers would buy their picks and shovels and barrows where they could find them best and cheapest they would buy them in the United States.

The sccond section wus amended by adding the words, *‘And who are without other ade- quate means of self-support.”’ ‘Mr. Plumb moved to strike out the word $itotally” before the word'‘incapacitated,”and gave notice that if his motion prevailed he ‘would move to amend further by providing that the pension should be from $4 to $12 per month, ing to the degree of incapac- ity. After discussion the amendment Was 10 and the word “totally” was ptruck out. Mr. Plumb also moved to strike piit the words ‘‘In degree herein specified.” *greud to—Yeas 20, nays 22.

Wasnixeroy, Feb. 27.—Mr. Matson of Indiana, from the committee on invalid pen- sions, reported adversely the resolution re- citing the “‘one hundred day circular” issued by General Black, commissioner of pensions, and directing the committee to inquire whethor such circular was issued, and if so, Avhether any pension claims had been re- §dted through non-compliance with the re- quests contained theé Mr. Matson stated that such a circular had been 1ssued and its gffect had been salutary, Many claims had een vigorously prosecuted and allowed, hich otherwise would have remained un- upon on account of want of evidence. Mc, Mason of Illinois regarded the issuing of circular as a usurpation on the part of the gcommissioner of pensions. The circular in 80 many words said to claim- ants that unless their claims were porfected within one hundrod days they ‘would be dismissed. The commissioner had aoctually taken the rllcc of congress and had a statute of limitations, and i} one lepartment of his office between seven hun- red and eight hundred cases had boen dis- missed because the claimants had failed to perfect their evidence within 100 davs. It true a_case could be ré-opened,at any e on the flling of additional proof, but that fact should have been stated by the oémmissioner in his circulur letter. “Mr. Matson defonded the action of tho missioner and the resolution wastabled— 119; nays, 99.

Having been myself gm:k' relieved by the reat remedy for pain, I advised him to try t. He was rubbed three or four times be- fore dinner. When he left his shop he was s spry o8 ever in his life.

Rockafeller, ot the Standard Oil Com« pany, Before the Committee. New Yonx, Feb, 27.—J. D. Rockafeller, of the Standard Oil company, was examinea this morning by the senate trust investiga- tion committee. He said the company of which he is president has a capital of 3,600,000, He is a member of the Standard Oil trust, which is not incorporated, but based on a written agreement. He produced the agreement, asking that its contents be kept from the press, as it contained private matter, Irom five to fifty companies had entered the trust, but he would not say definitely how many. The capital is £00,000,000. The oil product of the company is about twenty-seven million barrels annually, and three-fourths of this is controlled by the trust. The certi- ficates are worth $165, par value $100. In 1887, the shareholders received 20 per cent more stock and in addition a divided of 10 per cent. Dividends have been declared every three months, the average being 7§ per cent annually. Twenty million dollars haye been added to the 70,000,000 with which the trust started. This has been iven as_stock dividends, in addition to ar dividends. A number of small re- ies have been closed and new machinery put in. The number of refineries has been increasing constantly, the trust doing noth- ing to prevent production. The trust only owns the stock of a few small wells whose production is about two hundred barrels a day, while the total production is 100,000 barrels a day, The trust owns the stock of pipe lines, one of twhich brings oil to the seaboard through tubes. About §30,- 000,000 of the trust's capital represents the plant of the pipe lincs. A majority of the stock is held by the present trustees. A synopsis of the trust agreement, which was executed January 2, 1882, shows a division of those entering into the agreement into three classes, and the names of those in each class are given. The purposes of the trust are to mine for, produce, manufacture, refine and deal in 'petroleum and all its products, and all materials used in such husiness, and to transact other business connected therewitn. The partics agroee to form a corporation under the laws of Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersoy, each corporation to be known as the Standard Oil company of sueh state. The trustees are given power to pur- se bonds and stocks of other companies. Each trustee is entitled to asalary not exceed- ing 25,000 a year, except_the president, who may be voted €80,000. Rockafeller sald the trust has but little to do with producing oil, its business being almost entirely in refining and transportation. The company owned oil cars and is interested in natural gas and con- trols the stock of scveral such companies. It employs 25,000 men, Needham Will Fight Meyer. MixNEaroLis, Feb. 27.—[Special Telogram tothe Bre.]—Considerable interest is being nwakened in Minneapelis sporting circles over a probable twenty round comtest with small gloves to a finish in this city at an early day between Dannie Needham, the St. Paul light weight, and Billy Meyer, the “fighting carpenter,” of Streator, Ill. J. S. ‘Wood, the well known sporting mian, who is endeavoring to bring about the fight, said to- day: “Mr. Meyer has informed me that he ‘would meet Needham in a twenty-round mill or to a finish. I haven't been able to see Needham for several duys as he has been at. Ashland. Previous to his departure he in- formed me that he was anxious for some sort of a “go"” at Meyer and that he had sufficient backing. I've no doubt at all but that Need- ham and his. friends, now_that they have a chance, will gladly avail themselves of the opportunity prosented.” The fight, if ar- ranged for twenty rounds, will be for a stake and 75 and 25 per cont’ of the gate re- ipts. If for a finish, it will be for £1,000 a side or upward, as Meyer is not fighting for glory alone. Wood is to back Meyer. —— The Needham-Conmnolly Fight. St. Pavr, Minn., Feb. 27.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bee.]—-The outcome of the Needham-Counolly fight at Ashland Friday night was no surprise to those who keep the run of events in the pugilistic world. It had beon an open secret for some time that the fight was to be o “fake;" that Connolly, who ‘was hard up, was to take the purse, while Needham was to receive all the glory there was in a victory over a man in aheavier class than himself. What other inducements, if any, were offered Noedham for entering into the disreputable scheme are unknown, ut ft Would not be surprising it he received a slice of the purse in addition. The affail caused some surprise to many of Needham's admirers in St. Paul, but it roports are true, Connolly’s part in the affair is even more des- picable than Needham's. It was he who was. the originator and guiding gonius in the wholo alfair from beginning to end. Connolly admits that he threw the fight to Needham, but says he did so because he did mot get o #200 guarantee that had been offered him. COonley and Clow Will Fight. AsuLaxp, W Feb. 27.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bee.]-—Mike Conley and J. P, Clow signed articles this afternoon for a fight to come off April 7 in Ashland. The ar- rangements as made haye been shaded de- cidedly in Clow's favor in order togeta match with him. By the terms Conley is to wear four ounce gloves and Clow skin tight. It is to be a six-round fight, Marquis of Queensberry rules, and 75 per ce ceipts to the winner and 25 per. loser. The original deposit of $500 remains in the hands of John Mahoney as a guarantee of good faith, ——en Deadwood’s Reduction Works. Deabwoob, D. T., Feb, 27.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bee.] —A mecting of the direc- tors of the reduction works was held to-day and a letter was read from R. D. Clark, the mining expert, who was here from San Fran- cisco some time ago to make experiments with the refactory ores of the Ruby basin. Mr. Clark promises the leaching procebs as applied to the ores .an unqualified success. He advises the erection of a $100,000 plant and that Deadwood proceed at once to raise her part of this money. He will be here in a few days to superintend the erection of the works. The pr:n! will be erected in Dead- wood. There is now no doubt of the success of the enterprise. ‘Weather Indications, For Nebraska: Fair weather, followed by light rain or snow, warmer in castern portion, warmer followed by colder in Western portion, fresh to brisk southwesterly winds becoming invariable.
