B. FALCONER.| MAIL ORDERS ATTENDED TO PROMPTLY. B. FALCONER, | THE NAVAL RESERVE BILL| Tracy Anxious to Have Governor Hill Sign It. HE WAS A PREJUPICED JUROR An Unusual Scene Witnessed in Pc: sion Commissioner Tanner's Of- fice—The B1oux Commission to Mcet in Chicago. 513 FOURTERNTA STREET, WasnistTox, D. C., May 25. Secretary Tracy is very anxious to have Governor Hill, 6f New York, sign the naval reserve bill. He wrote to the governor to- day, saying: *Much study and attention was given to this question, and the bill, as re- ported to the house, reccived the approval of the navy department, as well as that of the committco reporting it, but, owing to the continued 1llness of Whitthorne, of Tennes see, it was not brought to a vote before the house. 'The establishment ofa naval rescrve in this country is very much to bewesired, and will greauly increaso our resources for the defeuse of our coasts and cities upon the seaboard and great lakes, In view of the fmportance of this question and of its inti- mate relation to the navy department and the national defense, I invite for it your favor- Aable consideration.” A PREJUDICED JUROR. At3 o'clock tnis afternoon an unusual scene was W)tnessed in tho oftice of the com- missioner of pensiohs, It was an argument in favor of granting a pension of $72 a month for total disability to the twenty-one men who are receiving pensivns ranging from $24 10 §60 for tho loss of an arm or leg or both arms or both legs, The argument made by J. C. Bigelow was illustrated by photographs showing the exact disability of the Lene- ficiaries. It was argued that the principle of the law contemplated equal pensions for equal disabilivies in every instance, and that all Jaws not contaming equivalent pensions were not in harmony with the original prin- civle. Bofore the argument was begun the commissioner stated that he wus willing to state that ho was a prejudiced juror. “1 am in favor of the prisoners,” said ho, +agd 1 want to be convinced that I am right. ‘W asniNaTON BUReAU, TiHE OMATA BrE, % "1 want to sce a law which will remove the barricy against these wmen who are practically suffering total disabilities, but who are not under the strict letter of the totally aisubled. As the luw has heretofore been interpreted, tho highest pension they can be allowed is $72a month, If I can sec that T am right I am willing to stake my po- sition, if necessaay, in favor of thg increase. This is an important matter us involves arrearages, aud it threatens to make an in- road upon the surplus, which we all adore so greatly.” General Lew Wallace, of Indisna, sat very near the commissioner during the argumeat and was frequently appealed 1o by the advo- cate when questions of general principle and techinical poiuts were raised, There were quite a number of newspaper correspondents and congressmen present. As soon as the argument closed the commissioner announced that the prayer was granted, ana that the increuse or rerativg was allowed. THE S10UX COMMISSION. ‘The Sioux commission will hold its first session in Chicago on Monday, The mem- bers are ex-Governor Foster, of Olio; ex- represcotative Wm. Werner, of Missouri, and Generak Crook, United States army. Detailed instructions have been furnished the commission in regard to their duties and wors under the law. It s oxpected thut members of the commission will leave in @ early part of next week for Dakota and Dbegin negotiations with the Sioux Indiuns for the purchase of their reservation. 18 ALLISON ENGAGED] The announcement of the marriage of Sen- ator Allison, of lows, to Miss Theresa Blovghton ouly lacks the autboritative veri- fication of those who have been most inti- mately associated with the senutor, who are disposed to regard the story as a reminis- cence on the suple ground that he has never shown the slightest indication of any tender feeling towards her. It does not scem to be known even by the senator's friends that his alleged prospective bride is now o guest with other ladies of the sena- torial Canadian trade relations junketing ex- pedition en route for Alaska. Miss_Stough- ton is an exceedingly beautiful lady about thirty years of age, daughter of a former patent attorney of ' Washington. The mar- riage announcement fixes the time for next tall. Senator Allison resides in a fine resi- dence on Vermont avenue just off Thomas Circle.

In the course of his roport Inspector Pickler says the city councit of Guthrie was very irregulurly chosen to begiu with, and as the people understood, for the purpose merely of putting the machinery of the city in motion, At the time the council was chosen grave responsivilities were forced upon them, aud generally they have ussumed and settled them in & creditable manner. They have preserved order, surveyed the town and practically cleared the strects. In these matters they wre commended oy all., They have,-how- ever, ussumed other powers and undertaken to act in various matters for which they sre enerally and very emphutically condenined, ‘hey bave appoiuted au uitorney at a salary of $1,500 per year and an advisor of the council on arbitration, at a salary in excess of this, a board of five arbitrators on set- tling the right of possession to lots, some being members of the council at 810 per aay, charging each contestant £10 befors the case could be heard, and returning only §i0 to the party succeeding, and keeping the remainder, They have granted, or pre- tended to grant, a franchise for ten years to A company to subply the city with water, build a bridge across the stream and grada the streets, and in like manner have taken many such steps against which the citizens loudly protest, and further they are now col lecting large taxes—an occapation tax of $5 per mouth, a survey tax,a recorder’s tax on lots, ete. They have enacted harsh ordinances, for the violation of which severe benalties’ are imposed., They are recklessly spendiag money in paying officials and are surveying the town on lines others than those recommended at the -people's meeting, inorder to save their own lots, Further it 1s asserted that the members of the council are among those who came in on the Sunday before the 22 and seized all of the best lots, and that the city government has in all matters predicted the interests of these men, The charge has been made more emphatic from the fact that the council has instructed the board of arbitration, that in considering who is entitled to a lot that priority of settlement, on Monday, 22d, re- gardless of the hour, entitled the party to the lot. This the people considered in direct conflict with the president’s proclamation. A petition was circulated yesterday, ask- Ing the council to call an election to divide the city into wards and to make a registry of voters, and asking that an election be held on Monday, the 2ith of May. Practi- cally, everybody signed the petition. Independent of this petition the citizens held a mass meeting last evening. They were very much in earnest and very deter- mined. AfTter speeches by several persoas they passed a resolution ousting the mayor and city council, and appointed a committee to 50 notify them, and also passea a resolu- tion appointing a committee of seven to call a city election, ignoring the present mayor and couneil, ‘The inspector then states that there were such loud calls for his views that he took the stand and told them that, *in his judgment, it was a mistake to not petition the mayor - and council to call an election, and 1t would most likely result in two conflicting city govern- ments, that they were entitled to a speedy election; to a sworn statement from the present ‘council as to all moneys collected or paid out; that tne incoming administration should himit the fees of all officers and boards; should be economical and should be very careful in regard to granting to individ- uals valuable franchises of the city without due consideration, After a heated discus- sion, a motion was made Lo reconsider, and was carried and 8 committee appointed to present petitions to the mayor requesting im to call an election, The meeting then adjourncd in gbod humor. ———— Too Accomplished, El Verano Valley Whistle: EI Verano mother—What has hecome of Mr. Wisely, daughter, he hasn’t been here to see you lately, has he?” Daughter—He hasn't been here for two weelks now.

COMING FREIGAT RATE WAR A Western Railroad Association to Break Up. LAST WEEK'S GRAIN TRAFFIC Trains Delayed by Excessive Rains— The U. P.'s Decreased Earnings Last Month—The Alton’s Decided Stand. The Alton Means Business. Cnicaco, May 25.—[Special Tel Tne Bee.]—*Our road is in splendid shape, but we are doing a very poor business,” said General Manager Chappell, of the Alton to-day. Aftera moment's thought, he added: “We are tired of foolng, and hereafter pro- pose to carry our share of the business or fight.”” Mr. Chappell.concluded with the re- mark that, in his recent trip over the line, he had become convinced that crops never looked better at this season. These dis- patches have repeatedly shown that the Alton officials are by no means in love with the Inter-state Commerce Railway associa- tion, Asthe general manager of another west-bound road eaid to-day: ‘*‘The Alton people are trying every way they know to find an excuse to withdraw from the asso- clation. I guess they’ve found it in their de- mand on Chairman Walker for a division of the traffic, so that they will get the same proportionate amount they had before the association was formed. Look at the figures a minute; the Alwon being a direct line, has a lways taken more live stock from Kansas City than the St. Paul, which has a regular goat's-horn road from there to Chicago, So far this month the S, Paul has taken out of Kans: City 407 cars of live stock and the Alton has han- dled but 137 cars. Of course, the cattle enjoy a longer ride on the St. Paul, thus allowing the shippers to get Wetter value for their money, Of course, again, rates are strictly maintained,” Here the speaker’s eyelid drew down in evident appreciation of his own joke. He continued: *‘Butitisn't the St. Pauvl alone which is hurt.ng the Alton, The Illinois Central refused to join the association, and the figures show why the Alton 18 80 anxious o withdraw. Three wecks ago the Iilinols Central hauled 514 caurs of grain into Chicago, This woek they hauled 1,751 cars, agaitdt 543 for the Alton, There has never ' beféve been such a dis- crepency. I honestly helieve the Alton will withdraw from the association inside of a wonth, If it don't i will be because the other roads turn over sqme of their businees to it, and 1 don’t knpw gpy road which will do suich a foolish thing 45 that. If the Alton Jithdraws it is dollas to daughnuts tho [Sur- lington will follow suit,'snd the Rock Island will make a sure third. 6Just keep your eye open for squalls in ; tha: famous President’s association.” 2 heiie LU Traing, Helayed.

But to the story, which is related by the veracious fund of remi- niscénce, W. C. Hart, the geologist. In 18 Ir. Hart and two other en- thusiastic collectors of specimens were encamped near the lava beds between the beadwaters of the Cache de la Poudre and North Park, It was a broken region and the wicrdness was heightened by the proximity of an ex- tinct crater, while bare rocks and dead timber were everywhere. The hope of securing valuable specimens for their cabinets attracted the gentlemen to the uncanny spot, for everyone averred that was haunted by the spirit at’s daughter who had o from camp by her father In;(illluuu she loved not wisely but too well. Joe Shepler, a well known mountain- eer, who was piloting the mineralogists through the hills, ‘;uul often seen the ghost, and promised his companions that they should view the apparition before réturning to their homes, He said the strange spirit was a thief, and frequently stolo food and fupniture from the camps of hunters who ventured within the precinets of hor uninviting domain, At diuner August 12, 1842, Shepler, who was a brave man on every oceasion, announced that the spivit was approach- ing, and pointed to a strange being which was swiftly moving toward the camp. The mwarauder camo to within 500 yards of the men, and seizing a haunch of venison which had been placed on a stone, started away with it on the run, Hart piciced up his rifle; and calling upon his mates o follow, started 1n pur- suit of the thief. She—they were sure | it was a woman—led them a iively vace directly towards the lava beds, Being close pressed the recluse dropped meat and sped onward to the opening o] a cave. The pursuers entered %h cavern soon after the disappearance of the strange robber, and found a de: woman—the exertion had killed her. The corpse was that of a girl perha; twenty-five years of age. She wore rude gown fashioned of skins. He hair was very long and she was suny burned and barefooted. The remaing were buried decently, ] Au examination of the eave disclosed the fact that it bad for some time be d as a babitation by the ullog:E spirit. The ground was covered wit] bones, and although there were cooicin, utensils about it evident the, sver been used. 10 had subsi stolen raw meat and raw fruit. She had dried meat for winter use. orseveral years the wild girl was thought to bea veritable spirit. Usually she visited camp at the close of a lon summwer day, and it is small wonde that hunters fled at her approach. :;mncfbu pass is just over the Colorado ine. ——— WH AT HE FORGOT A New Benedict Gets All His Bundies hgether Bxcept His Wit “I had a fussy man of middle age come here last fall with a young wife,” said a Washington hotel clerk to a New York Tribune correspondent. *‘They were on_their wedding tour.
