GENEEAL SERVICE PENSION
Be Content With What Yon Got Until Ton
Can Got More Is What the President
V Tells the Old Soldiers
Special to the Gazette
New York April 12 A special from
Washington says President Harrison is
opposed to the general service pension
bill and the influence of the adminis-
tration will be exeroised to prevent its
passage The party managers voting in
cccord with the ideas of the president
propose to avoid the passage of the bill if
possible One of the representatives of
the Grand Army of the Republio who
has been here during the session to boom
the service pension scheme called
at the White House a few days
ago to talk with Mr Harrison
on the subject He first talked tho mat-
ter over with Private Secretary Halford
who informed him in a blunt way that
this administration was not going to help
the scheme through The man then saw
the president who told hlni the same
thing in more diplomatio language Ho
said in effect that the soldiers must not
expect to get all they want at once that
they must wait content with what they
can get until they can get more The
Grand Army of tho Republic man went
home in a disturbed cond SSn of mind

Silver Differences
Special to the Gazette
Washington April 12 The delay in
arriving at an agreement on the silver
question is occasioned by the extreme
silver men who want absolute free coin-
age The section of the house bill par-
ticularly obnoxious to the silver men ia
the provision making treasury notes
issued in payment for bullion redeemable
in bullion They say that the
effect of this seotion would be to
pile tip bullion in the treasury and thus
give color to the demand of the farmers
for great government warehouses in
which their agricultural produots may-
be stored and government notes issued
thereon They want treasury notes re-
deemed in lawful money which may be
prooured by coining the bullion pur-
chased
RANDALLS CALLERS
The callers have been numerous at Mr
Randalls house today but no one has
been admitted to his room Secretary
Blaine has been a daily caller and this
morning the vicepresident was among
the anxious friends at the little bouse on
Capitol Hill
Mrs Randall and her daughters are
almost worn out by the constant vigil
but with unwavering courage they still
retain their posts at the bedside with-
out hope but constant in iheir efforts to
smooth the last hours of a be-
loved life President Harrison calls
every evening or sends to inquire after
the sick man and keeps the
sick room well supplied with choice
flowers from the White House conserva-

The senate committee on public build-

for a public building at Paris Tex

Mr Randalls condition this morning
is pretty much the same as yesterday
Ho had a very bad night His physician
was with him all the time and his con

oclock in tho morning his death was
expected every moment However as
daylight approached he rallied a triile
very much to his physicians surprise
and he is now resting just a little easier
Inquiry at Dr Mallons house at 130
oclock elicited tho reply that Randalls
condition was unchanged from morning

HIS CONDITION AT 2 P 3f
oclock the only change to be
noted in Mr Randalls condition was
that he was weaker than he was this
morning His vitality and tenacious
hold upon life are so great that it is pos-
sible ajid even probable he may live
two days longer though his death at any
foment will not be unexpected He re
gains oonsoiousness and continues to take
nourishment

injured One man was shot and an-
other so seriously wounded that it is im-
possible for him to live more than a few
hours The men engaged in the battle
aro all employed at the Omaha
and Grant smelter and are Austrians

saloon which is frequented by the em
ployes of the smelter The proprietor
saw that it was likely to end In murder
and ordered everybody out of his place
and put out the lights What oaused
the trouble nobody possitively seems to
know but it is rumored that two women
figured in the case After the men left
the saloon six of them wont to their
boarding house which is located within
a few doors of tho saloon The
growler was at once put in motion
and beer was soon more plentiful
than water Suddenly there was a rap

HEAYILY DEBTEIDDEN
This 13 the Condition of Now York and Vir-
ginia Farmers They Swear Never Again
to Yote the Bepubllcan Ticket
Special to the Gazette
New York April 12 A Washington
special says A very prominent Virginia
Republican who used to live in the inte-
rior of N ew York state has been revisit
Jng his old home and has stopped over in
Washington on his return long enough
to call on the president His errand was
to lay before Mr Harrison and other
party leaders the condition of things
political as he sees it in the two states
He says that onoe prosperous agricul-
tural districts In New York where he
used to live are now heavily debtridden
farmers in many cases in spite of all
sorts of petty economy have not paid
a penny of interest on their mortgages
for the last two years and are despair-
ing of doing any better for the present
They are disposed to attribute their con-
dition to the protection policy Not
merely scores but hundreds have to his
knowledge sworn that they have voted
the Republican ticket for the last time
In Virginia farmers are feeling the same
way he says What both the New York
and Virginia recalcitrants cannot grasp
he says is how an economic system
which benefits the farmer as protection
is reported to be leave the poor fellow
out at the elbows and down at the heel
while a handful of millionaires are living
on the fat of the land building pal-
aces for their families to dwell in He was
at the last national Republican conven-
tion and was there assured by the lead-
ers of the party that the tariff revision
plank in the platform meant something
and on tho strength of that assurance he
went back and so informed his people
They and he have now found that this
pretense was a hollow sham Not only
that but he cant find a Republican
newspaper which will allow him to tell
the truth of the situation through its col-
umns and when he comes to Washing-
ton the president treats his arguments as
the ravings of a crazy man

Copyrighted by the Associated Press
Berlin April 12 Immediately npon
his return from Wiesbadan Emperor
William will hold a Beries of prolonged
conferences with the heads of the various
departments Chancellor Von Caprivi
Baron Von Berlepsoh and Baron Von
Bieberstein successively It is reported
to be tho determination of tho
emperor to exercise rigid personal
scrutiny over every measure Besides
overloading himself with work he in the
meantime threatens to paralyze the min-
isters with work None of the bills based
on the decisions of the labor conference
and prepared by Baron Von Beriepsch
have received the final imperial sanction
The assent of tho bundesrath to the
measures isdoubtful The Federal gov-
ernments do not share the emperors
eager haste for reforms The prospect
is therefore that when the em-
peror opens tho reichstac in his
speech from the throne announcing
the labor measures he will speak with-
out the quality of definiteness which
characterized the announcements of
THE BISMARCK REGIME
Beyond the pregnant fact that the
reichstag will be asked to grant a mili-
tary credit of probably 80000000 marKs
nothing is known of the governments
programme The Progressist press in-
dulges in visions of change in the tariff
policy the reduction of duties
on cereals and progressive mod-
ifications of customs so as
to abolish taxation on articles that are
absolutely necessary for use of the people
and a simultaneous adoption of tariffs so
as to develop industries of tho country
It is not believed in official circles that
the Emperor will be rash enough to en-
tangle himself in the difficulties entailed
by a reyision of tariffs whioh would in-
volve complete reforms in the whole
financial and fiscal system of the empire
Equally discredited are the rumors
that the emperor intends to propose a re-
vision of the constitution in the direction
of a reduction of powers while centraliz
ing the power in the hands of the minis-
try controlled by the emperor Neither
the reichstag nor the bundesrath will
ever assent to an extension of imperial
powers toward absolutism Already the
leading federal princes of the empire
incredulous of the emperors capacity
and scared by his methods ot governing
are trying
TO TONE HIS SELFCONFIDENCE
It is an open secret that the goyern
ments of Bavaria Wurtemburs and
Saxony whioh holds fourteen votes In
the bundesrath will not cooperate
in the imperial measures unless the em-
peror consults them more dntUe general
line ol his policy m
Tonight the Relchsanzeiger uas a curt
significant disclaimer of the reported re-
organization of the central ministerial
departments It is denied that the gov-
ernment ever contemplated increasing
the responsibility of the ministers Tho
temper of the leading federal govern-
ments the article says would not brook
any discussion of the subjeot This made
an official denial of the report necessary
The reichstag will meet with the va-
rious parties undetermined awaiting the
effect of the government programme be-
fore grouping themselves The official
record of the
COMPOSITION OF THE REICHSTAG
after the second ballot is as follows
Conservatives 72 Imperialists 19 Na-
tional Liberals 43 Freissinnige 67
Centrists 107 Socialists 33 Volks
partei 10 Poles 16 Guelphs 11
Reiobslanders 10 antiSomitics 5
Dane 1 no party 1 One
of the chief features of the
moment is the disunion among the
Freissinnige party Since the Freissin
nige members of the landtag consured
the leadership of Herr Riohter as dicta-
torial and inelastic the quarrel has
widened Herr Richter now leads a
seotion of the party m a policy of pure
opposition to the conservative govern-
ment Herren Laenal and Rickert
baoked by an important faction would
coalesce with the advanced Nationals or
even cooperate with the gov-
ernment on liberal proposals In face
of the expected coalition with the Con-
servative the Imperialists and the right
wing of the National Liberals are form-
ing a reactionary group against the lib-
eral policy by the government Tho
Freissinnige party will be compelled to
close their ranks
The Sooialist leaders have a momentary
feud over the workmens proposed cele-
brations on May 1 Herr Liebnecht and
Herr Bebel will attend a reunion of dele-
gates tomorrow to urge the unwisdom
of making a manifestation Herrs Gili
berger Vallmar and Schippel support

backed by the police who have given
warning that they will not tolerate street
demonstrations
A Distinguished Chinese Statesman
Special to the Gazette
London April 12 Marquis T3eng
whose death is announced from Pekin to-
day was the most distinguished states-
man produced in China for many years
and won his fame in intellectual contests
with some of the leading diplomats
in Europe As minister plenipoten-
tiary to England and FranceOotober 21
1879 Chung How ambassador from
China to Russia signed at Livadia a
treaty arranging a question which had
arisen between the two countries with re-
gard to Russian occupation of Kuld Ja
The treaty created unparalleled excite-
ment in China When its substance be-
came known s lt was found that
instead of securing an evac-
uation he had ceded to Russia
practically tho whole t of the provinces
Chung How was degraded and sentenced
to death but the treaty remained and
Tseng was sent to St Petersburg to pro-
cure a modification of it In 4ha begin-
ning of bis negotiations he was niuoh as-
sisted by Lord Dufferin British minis-
ter but when he ence obtained a heae
L j hia own ability and tact secured a
YOL X1Y NO 183
victory beyond all expectation Ho
practically succeeded In having the ob-
noxious treaty declared a dead letter
There is now na such instru-
ment as a treaty of Livadia
Its place was taken by tho treaty
of St Petersburg signed February 24
1SSI By the latter the whole territory
iu questionwith the exception of a small
strip was retroceded to China The re-
markable abilities of Tseng were again
displayed in his firm and prudent treat-
ment of negotiations between France and
China during tho expeditions of tho
former in Annam and Tonquin At last
peace was reestablished France had
securqd neither territory nor indemnity
and wBi even compelled to surrender
what little foothold they had gained at a
fearful expense in life and money on
the rocky island of Northern Formosa
Tsengs condition throughout these
troublous times created a totally now im-
pression in Europe of Chinese diplomacy
It is also to be noted that he first obliged
European diplomatists in their deallng3
with the Chinese government to recog-
nize his emperor as the equal of Western
crowned heads He returned to China
in 1SS6 and has since held high offices in
the board of admiralty and board of for-
eign affairs
Fomo Abont to Open an Exposition
Rome April 12 Preparations are be-
ing made to render tho opening of tho
exposition of local industries next month
a very notable affair There will be at
the same time a national rifle contest
and race open to horses of all countries
at which the jirand prize of Rome amount-
ing to 100000 francs will be open to con-
test for the first time In connection
with the opening steps are being taken to
arrange for a series of fetes which
promise to be of great interest The as-
sociated press of Italy is desirous of tak-
ing distinguished part iu these fetes
Through its president and secretary it
has addressed an invitation to the mem-
bers of the associated press of the
United States to visit Rome in
May and share in the festivities
It offers the representatives of the Amer-
ican press who may be able to accept the
invitations all facilities possible to en-
able them to see and understand all that
Rome has of interest to journalists It
ia hoped many American newspaper men
may avail themselves of this opportunity
to visit Rome as guests of the Italian as-
sociated press

ANJ INVITATION DECLINED
Brussels April 12 A dispatch to
the Independence Beige frem Cannes
says Stanley has declined King Loqpolds
invitation to attend the antislavo con-
gress now sitting in Brussels on the
ground that the condtK > i of hi3 health

companied Stanley to the interior of
Africa and who Is now with him at Can-
nes declares Emin Pasha is suffering
from incurable cataract and that before

Agitated Over tho McKinley Bilk
Berlin April 12 The agitation in
Paris commercial circles growing out of
the apprehension that the McKinley tariff
administrative bill if it should become a
law would have serious effect on tho
business of exporting to the United
States now has its counterpart iu
this city Many of Berlins merchants
interested in the exportation of goods to
America are seeking to bring influence
to bear for the purpdse of having the bill
either greatly modified or altogether
withdrawn They assort that the meas-
ure if it goes into effect in its present
form will strike a fresh blow at the ex-
portation of GermanTguods and manufac-
tures to United States
A Brutal Fight
Liverpool April 12 It Is learned
that a horrible prizefight occurred at
Wigan Lancashire Thursday Scienoe
fair play and humanity was altogether
ignored Two noted wrestlers Moran of
Wigan and Haigh of Standish were the
principals They were naked with the
exception of short trousers and clogs but
in the first round the trousers were
