can and Indian wars, and had been recommended by ex-Commissioner Ilaum and exFecretary Noble. The most Important feature of the bill, however, was the clause permitting these survivors to secure bounty they had earned. The bill aroused some of the old war ejdrlt. Mr. Burrows got the floor and opposed the one-armed ex-confederate veteran. Colonel Oates, who champ'oned the bill, lie maintained it was an attempt to wipe out the statute denying pensions to those cnocd in rebellion. -Call the hell hounds off the track of 1'nion soldiers." he said vehemently, "before you restore men who were fal3e to the Union to the pension rolls." (Applause.) Continuing:, he called attention to the peculiar lanTuago of the report, which used such phrases as "so-called rebellion" and "war between the States." He resented such statements. There never had been a war between the States, except to those who believed in State's rights. He protestbut, nevertheless, he expected these statutes would be wiped out; that the majority would reassert the doctrine of State's rights, confederates would be restored to, and Union soldiers stricken from the pension rolls. (Republican applause.) While Mr. Burrows was talking the members crowded down into the area in front of the Speaker's chair, conspicuous among them being Gen. Daniel Sickehs on crutches and Gen. Joe Wheeler, the ex-confederate cavalry leader. Colonel Oates said he had fought four years and had engaged in ' twenty-seven battles in supoort of hl3 convictions. But now he was as devoted to the Union as the gentleman from Michigan. He vas entitled to come hre. "If there should be another war," said he, pointing hi3 iingerttt General Burrows. "I will shed quite as much blood in defense of the Union as he would, and more." he added, "than he ever did shed." Judge Culberson came forward to pour oil on the troubled waters. He explained the small number of persons who would be affected, and said frankly he did not think there was any particular necessity for the measure. Colonel Oates suggested that the bill be modified to exclude pensioners. The modification was accepted and, without objection, the bill was passed. Tha House then resumed the consideration of the Cox bill for better control of national banks. Mr. Lockwood 'opposed the bill. It was powerless for good and its passage at this time would work an absolute injury to the national banks and to the people of the country. He eulogized the conduct of the presidents of the national banks during the past four months. They had saved the country from a great Cnancial panic. They ought not to be treated with adverse legislation: they ought not to be treated as thieves and scoundrels. The Controller of the Currency had never sanctioned this bill. On the contrary, he was informed that the Controller disapproved of it. It was time for Congress to cease its attacks upon national banks. After further discussion the bill was passed without division. It provides that no national banking association shall make any loan to lt3 president. Its vice president. Its cashier, directors nor any of its clerks, tellers, bookkeepers, servants or other persons in its employ. The proposition to make such a loan, stating terms, has to be submitted In writing by the person desiring the same to a meeting of the board of directors of such banking association or of the executive committee of such board, If any, and accepted and approved by a majority of those present constituting a quorum, but only to the amount now allowed by law. The House then, in committee of the whole, resumed consideration of the bill relative to public printing and binding. Without disposing of the bill the committee rose and the House, at 5 o'clock, adjourned. ' More Imports than Exports.

The State Legislature of Michigan recently indorsed this view, as did the medical consre33 In Washington, and deaths from consumption have decreased everywhere recently. Dr Fleck, with a few others, ascribes this to isolation. The majority of medical experts, however, credit It to the free, broadcast distribution through physicians cf test outrtts of tha Amick treatment, by which authentic cures are reported daily in the medical and secular press. MINNEAPOLIS. Oct. 17.

Dick and Harry to monkey with, and is preserves from tha tinkering of fool' empiricist"

Probably Fifty-Four Sailors Drowned and Nearly $700,000 Worth of Shipping: and Cargoes Destroyed. Special to the Indianapolis Journals CHICAGO, Oct 17. Later reports from the great storm which swept the chain of lakes last Friday tend to increase the list of disasters. Th3 missing boats are, today, being heard from at all points, and an approximate list of losses can at last be made. Thus far it is known that forty-one people ware lost and ten vessels became total wrecks. Twenty-nine more are on the beach or watcr-loggsd, and whether they can be saved or not .will depend much upon the weather and their position. With thsse twenty-nine no estimate of losses can as yet be made, but underwriters deem it probable that at least thirteen of them will become total losses. In addition to this long list of casualties, nearly every boat out in the blgr storm suffered heavy damages, although they were able to keep afloat' and save themselr2s from going on lee shores. The total losses, including cargoes, with locality and values are as follows: Steamer Dean Richmond, foundered off Dunkirk $110,000 Steamer Wocoken, foundered in Lake Erie 73,000 Schooner James D. Sawyer, stranded at Charlevoix 34.000 benooner Minnehaha, stranded at Oneka 48,000 Schooner Hunter, stranded at New Buffalo 1,800 Schooner Volunteer, stranded at Port Crescent 2,000 Tug Acme, foundered in Lake Huron 5,000 Yacht Enterprise, stranded in Georgian Day 1,000 Schooner Falconer, ashore in Lake Ontario 6,000 Barge Knight Templar, stranded at Cheboygan 4,000 Schooner John R. Merlll, ashore on Druminond's island 20,000 To this list must be added two schooners which are not yet identified. One is sunk in Lake Erie-, eight miles off Port Colborne. She is thought to be the F. C. Lelghton. of Port Huron. The other is sunk four miles north of th Persian Islands on Lake Superior. Only the top of the masts of both boats are above the. water, and it is likely that their crews, numbering six or eight men for each, were lost. This will make the total number of lives lost in the preat storm fifty-four. The aggregate losses on the boats stranded, but which may be rescued, and on cargoes damaged by water, will exceed $300,000. This was the estimate of a conservative underwriter to-day after he had gone over the list carefully. To these big figures must be added losses of not less than $30.0X) for minor damages, many of which will never be reported in print. This grand total of flfty-four lives and 5673.000 of property will add the storm of Oct. 14 to the list of historic gales on the great lakes. Saw n Dozen Flouting? llodles. ERIE. Pa., Oct. 17.

Tenn., Oct. 17.-The at tendance was again small at Cumberland Park to-day, but the weather and track were superb. The sport was very good. Speculators were upset In the two-year-old trot, the Axtell colt Axlnlte, superbly driven by McIIenry, winning: In straight heats. Director's Flower was the favorite. Fan tasy won the three-year-old trot as she pleased, waiving: distance In the second heat, and trotting: the mile in 2:0S, which lowers the world's three-year-old record of 2:11 made by Directum over the same course last year.

Willie Wlndle shaved off 21-5 seconds from the world's record for three miles from a standing start, doing the distance in 6:43. The record was broken In an effort to lower the mark for five miles, made Sept. 11 by Meintjes. The plucky rider could not finish the distance on account of stomach trouble, which attacked him during: the fourth mile. Another effort will be made later. Tyler made an unsuccessful effort to lower his record for the mile, standing start. . i-. Blooded Stnlllon Dend. NEW YORK, Oct 17. A valuable blooded stallion belonging to F. G. Bourne, president of the Singer Manufacturing Company, of New York, who has a summer residence at West Sayvllle, L. I., was found dead in its stall yesterday. It is supposed that some one poisoned the animal. The stallion was imported from Russia for breeding purposes, and cost $20,000. THE YOLXGIIR DUMAS. The Inst of the Extraordinary Family 3fow an Unamiahle Cynic. Paris Letter In Philadelphia Telegraph. Once more, for the third season, are we promised Dumas's new play, so often heralded, so frequently postponed, "La Route de Thebes." but over Dumas's household broods a dark and deepening shadow. His wife is ill with a hopeless, lingering malady that prevents her recognizing, It is said, those whom ehe loves best: his house In Taris is closed; his splendid collection of paintings sold under the hammer, and the grea writer, whose talent was wont to be a3 prolific as it was unrivaled in his special line, allows his pen to lie idle. He, too. puffers, it is said, from an affection of the liver, and it Is also said that he broods over the fact that he Is the last of his name. General Dumas, the wholesouled, dare-devil soldier, a full-blooded negro from Martinique; Dumas pere, the living incarnation of gayety and geniality, who was commonly supposed to have fused much of his own cheery personality into the character of D'Artagnan, that most lovable of scamps and most winning of vagabonas, both seemed to have escaped the melancholy that Is popularly supposed to be the characteristics of their race, and which fell like a pall on the shoulders of their octoroon descendant. For whether it be the effect of his illegitimate birth, which weighed heavily upon him, or his joyless and persecuted childhood, so graphically described in the "Affaire Clemenceau." the genius of the younger Dumas has always been sad and cynical, his laughter i3 a sneer, his comedy sardonic, and his greatest creations, excepting the "Dame aux Camellias.' which was an idealized portrait of his first love, are those which show civilized human nature in its worst phases, and delineate graphically the possibilities of total depravity. The last of the Dumas dynasty 13 now the best exponent of that cynical bitterness which underlies the froth and frlvolty of the French nature and characterizes the final years of the dying century. Be Oro Ahead of Itoler. NEW YORK, Oct. 17. The interest In the international game of pyramids and pool between John Roberts. Jr.. of Ixmdon, and Alfred De Oro, the American champion, is increasing. Judging from the attendance at to-night's match. On the opening of the game De Oro played, safety and Roberts responded with the same cautious methods. De Oro failed to score on his second attempt. Before the play was concluded De Oro "collared" the English tabl and manipulated it with as great skill as that shown by Roberts, Score for the evening: De Oro, 201; Roberts, 237.

In a state of slrt-py stunor on tho quiet Senate floor; while I nodded, slumber seeking, suddenly there came a squeaking as of norae one always speaking, ppeakin on tha Senate floor. "It Is only Cockrell," thought I. 'Fpoakinff on the Senate floor only that and nothing more." . . "Cockrell," saM I. quite emphatic, "Populist or Democratic, whether fate of pom worse evil sent thee to tho Senate lloor, cannot you but once be qial?t from this everlasting diet, from this weary wanton riot of Just talk, and talk so poor? is ther Is there any respite? Tell me, tell me. I implore!" Quoth the Cockrell, "Nevermore." . . , ivit the times are dull and dreary, all the land Is tired and weary, an!

Let us vote at least hy Christmas, If we cannot vote before." Quoth th? Cockrell. "Nevermore!" So the Cockrell never tiring, never weary, still is firing columns of the direst speeches ever mortal heard before, and his eyes have all the .se-min of a demon's that is dreamins. and tha light upon him streamlug shows an empty Senate floor, htill ho talks and talks, although he knows he is an awful bore. Will he stop? Ah, ;ievcrmore! The Patriotic Van .Men. Chicago News. It Is said that Minister Van Alen has declared the victory of the Vigilant to be a "blooming outrage, don't y'kr.ow."
