ored waiter at the Savory house known as
"Happy.luck , " at 7 o'clock this morning shot
his mistress , Sadla King , n white girl em
ployed as n chambermaid at the Savery. Tbo
girl now lies in a precarious condition nt the
jiospltal , nnd her dusky Lothario Is under
arrest.
Thoshootlng took place nt Hoblnson's room
In a flat on Seventh street , near Walnut ,
where the glri was in the habit of spending
much of her time. Lost night when
Robinson went to his room ho called
In his landlady nnd complained of being sick.
She did what she could to relieve his suffnr-
Ings. Along nbout midnight ho called In an
other roomer , C. W. Clarkson , and asked him
.to go for some laudanum. Clarkson thought
It wns queer that Koblnson should want
laudanum , and fearing that ho contemplated
'euicldc ' , Instead of going for laudanum ho
went to tbo Savery bouse and told Sadie that
Koblnson wanted to sco her right nway.
About < i"iO : Sadie appeared nt his room.
Sno win seen to enter nnd lock
'tfio door. Ten minutes lutor the
ilrst pistol shot wns heard nnd the occupants
of the flat heard her scream and rushed to
the door , which In her excitement she could
not unlock nt Ilrst. Just before she throw
open the door n second shot was fired and
badlo rushed Into the hallway , pursued by
Kablnsnn. IIo emptied his pistol nnd then
hurriedly put on his shoes ami overcoat and
made his escape.
Ono of the shots took effect in the girl's
thigh and another gnizcd her tem
ple. Tbo girl's story is that
when she wont In the room Koblnson
'told her to lock the door , which she did. She
then went over nnd sat on the sldo of
tlio bed. Ho was then in bed , nnd asked her
to bring hU clothes that ho might dress him
self. She did as requested , and niraln took
jip her position on the bedside. At that mo
ment no pulled a pistol from under the bed
clothes nnd fired at her.
Itoblnson was captured ut noon whllo ap
parently on his way to the hospital to visit
'his victim.
"They Vvero dead stuck on each other , but
'uho wouldn't ' marry him , " Is the way ono of

'OCT bctwccu the couple. It is suid that she
'will not prosucuto him.
Attorney AVINon Disbarred.
Cntuu KAPIDS , la. , Dee. 27. [ Special Tele
gram to TUB UKB. | Judge Kinno this morn
ing rendered "a decision in the disbarment
case against Gcorgo W. Wilson of this city ,
decreeing that Wilson's certificate as an at
torney bo revoked. The Judge holds that the
defendant was guilty of forgeries and perjury
ns charged , nnd that an attorney cannot use
a bogus power of attorney and transact bus !
ness for a flrlicioiis person to hold his prop
erty beyond tbo reach of his creditors , nnd
any property thus found can bo seized to
satisfy debts. Wilson is now under flvo or
six indictments for forgery , perjury , swind
ling , cheating , etc. , and will be tried iu Jan
uary.
Wilson , who of late years has become so
'
notorious' because of bis methods of doing
business , has been a resident of Cedar
Itanids for , ovcr forty years. Fifteen or
twenty years ago ho sought admission to the
bar of this county , but falling to find anyone
to vouch for tils good character , bo went to
Clinton county , nnd there gained admittance ,
it being claimed that J. Kllen Foster acted as
sponsor for the occasion. Since being ad-
inlttcd to the bar ho has done an luimcnso
business In buving fees , claims , etc. , and
, deuUng in real estate und chattels. Ho
finally failed , and in order to'dodge his credi
tors used various means to prevent them
getting his money. IIo accordingly organ
ized "The Toilers' Protective association , "
"Gcorgo W. Wilson & Co. , " "Union Invest
ment company , " mid a number of other or-
gnnUations , and in each instance Gcorgo W.
Wilson was business manager ami his wife
treasurer. The other members of the oompa
ides , of which there were uono In reality ,
were represented to bo silent partners. He
also appeared us "an attorney In fact" for
ono B. M. J. Wilson nf Chicago , and did n
very extensive real cstato business In that
name.
The operations of Wilson becoming suspic
ious to Ids fellow practitioners , nn investiga
tion was commenced before Judge Preston ,
which was nn examination supplemental to
execution. During that examination a cor-
'tulii loiter was lost and Wilson wns accused
of destroying or of holding it. The letter
wns very Important to prove that no such
nan ns B. M. J. Wilson existed. A search
warrant was secured ; also a landlord's writ
of attachment , and an attachment and an
execution for a Judgment for attorney's fees.
On these papers his oftlco and safe wcro
seized , resulting in the finding of numerous
idoeds and mortgages which were foruerics.
The bar association took hold of the
case and selected as plaintiff ono
Jacob Wright , who had nurehusod u tract ol
land Irotn Wilson , the snld tract Having been
secured by means of numerous forged deeds.
Oa September S9 the petition and motion for
disbarment were lllod nnd on December S the
trial began in the district court at Marlon
Judge Kinno of Toledo presiding. The trial
Blasted for sit days nnd was fought viijorouslj
by both parties. At the conclusion of tin
trial Judge Kinno took the o.'wo under advise

Senator Paddock celled upon Pension Com
missioner Uaum this morning to see If some-
tiling could not bo done to expcdito the pen
sion claims of thoio who IK'o In thti drought-
stricken portions of Nebraska. Ho presented
nmong n number of others the cose of W. II.
Tucker , In Pawnco county' also ono of n man
hi the southern part of Gngo county , whoso
limbs are shrunken from disease contracted
in the service. IIo Insisted that the claims
of the soldiers living lu the drought-stricken
section should bo made special hi any event ,
nnd was assured by the commissioner that
all possible would bo done , but the commis
sioner reminded Senator Paddock that there
were certain iron-bound rules of the bureau
which must bo observed.
From the number of requests being re
ceived by senators nnd members to have pen
sion cases made special , it would appear that
the oft-repeated rules of the pension ofllcenro
either not understood , or , being understood ,
nro disregarded under the Impression that
the request of u republican member of con
gress can get any favor. The commissioner
of pensions says ho will not make exceptions
to the rules ho has adopted and which have
governed the ofllce for several months , and
ho repeated the statement that it wns an ab
solute was to of tlmo for any applicant to
address members of congress , or
senators , cabinet ofllcers , politicians
or anybody else unless the rules
are complied with , and whenever and whoro-
ever thov nro complied with the applicants
will receive more prompt attention by ad
dressing the pension oflleo direct , as letters
sent men In congress necessarily create some
delay and letters sent to the pension oflico in
, the Ilrst Instance by the applicant are an-
.swered ns quickly as these transmitted
through public men. The commissioner of
pensions , after reiterating the fact that the
services of pension agents are no longer nec
essary , calls special attention to the following
rule of the oflico , which , he says , is never departed -
parted from for anybody , and ho adds
that the country newspapers , which reach
dltctly so many pension claimants in per
son would render a great service by reprint
ing : "It is manifest that the expedition of
ono claim must bo nt the cost of delay to
others , und therefore the discretion which is
lodged In the commissioner .must bo exor
cised with reason nnd Judgment. To justify
the commissioner In malting a claim special
it is necessary that such a condition of the
claimant shall bo shown to exist ns will sat
isfy these whose claims will bo put back by
this action. The rule Is therefore adopted
that , to warrant making a claim special nnd
have it considered out of its proper
ordqr , it must bo shown that the
claimant Is unable to earn n' living
and is in destitute circumstances ,
or that the claimant is sick nnd iu dancer of
immediate death. These statements must bo
crltlcd by the onth of the claimant making
hem or some other , reputable party acting
or him. "
There nro now recorded nt the pension
sfllco nbout 1,100,000 claims , of which , in
ound ligures , 350,000 are duplicates , having
'enewcd their old claims under the recent
lependent pension law. It can readily bo
eon that to undertake to make special any
jonsiderablo number of these cases upon
jolitical or other Influence would work great
njustlco to the humble citizen who has. not
ho Inlliie'nco to command , 30 tbo dotcrmlun
ion was sometime ago reacted that
all claimants would bo treated
llko except whore their circumstance's
recommended exceptional action , and for
hcso coses the rule quoted above was formu-
a'ted , and it was strictly obeyed. The most
nlluential republican , senator or roprescnta-
Jvo is unable to get a case made special ex
cept when he conforms to , the requirements
of this rulo. Ono is frequently amazed nt
ho throats which are mado'by some , pen
sion claimants. They threaten to vote the
democratic ticket if their coses are not made
special , or if there are not more liberal pension -
sion laws enacted. Such persons would sim-
> ly Kill the geese that lays the golden egg.
f" the democratic party had its way there
vould soon bo no pensions paid at.all. It
wns only the other day that the
democrats in the house fought the
consideration of the general pension 'appro
priation bill , and had it not passed 'tho pay-
ncntof pensions would havobooh suspended.
Jho ? democrats refused to pass any general
xmsion bill under President Cldvelnndf. and
t was frequently stated that tho'lattor would
nivo vetoed it had ono been passed. It is
ono of the cardinal principles of , the demo
cratic party to raise the money witti which
pensions are paid. If paid at 'all , by direct
fixation. This is for the purpose of making
pensions obnoxious to taxpayers and bring
ing about the repeal of all pension laws.
Further than this it Is well known now
and it is dally admitted by repub
lican senators nnd representatives
from several eastern states that many
thousands of votes were cast against repub
lican candidates In New Kngland ( probably
enough to account for all the republican'con
gressmen defeated ) because of the liberal
pension legislation enacted by the present
republican congress , The democratic ranks
in New England and some other sections of
the country are receiving daily so man } ' ac
cessions from the anti-pension element of the
various parties that it will cause no surprise
nt all If ono of the . principal planks in tlio
democratic national platform in 1803 is lot
the repeal of certain if not all the general
pension laws.

in Canada and by oxpjrters of Cam
dlan goods to the "United States. Some
twenty consuls , the larger number stationed

sisted In the appropriation of illegal fees nnd
the undervaluation of exports by the export
ers. Consular certificates In blank , signed by

ers making fnlso return ? of the value of the

WASHIXOTOX , Dec. 27. Acting on informa

effect that inequalities were suspceted in
consular authentication of Canadian goods
imported into the United States during the
past twelve months , the secretary of state
recently determined on a thorough luycstiga-
tldn of the United States consular service In

sible to obtain an ofUclal acknowledgement to
that effect , it la understood that extensive

WASHINGTON" , Dec. 27. The secretary of
agriculture today made an order to close all
ports oxcoptSt. Albans In the collection dis
trict of Vermont against the importation of
cattle , shcop and other ruminants and ) swine ,
nnd requiring that all such animals imported
through this collection dlstrlst must enter nt
the port of St. Albans , whore thov must bo
inspected by a veterinary inspector of the de
partment of ncriculturo. This Is done ns a
protection against the introduction into this
country from Canada of any contagious dis
ease affecting these classes of animals. Such
Inspection Is provided for by the act of Au
gust ! iO , 1800 , ana Inview of the fact that the
Knelish veterinary authorities at Dundee re
cently * seized Canadian cattle , declaring
them affected with contagious plouro-pueu-
ino'nia. Secretary Kusk feels It Incumbent
upon him to tnko all measures necessary for
its rigid enforcement. Moreover , England
has prohibited the Importation into that
country of shcop from the United States , on
the ground that the government has not here
tofore caused to bo made an Inspection or
quarantine of sheep arriving hero from other
parts of the world. The stringent regula
tions of Secretary Husk nro designed to in
Sura the protection of the llvo stock of the
United States from imported diseases , and to
secure If possible tha removal of the prohibi

ittlo or no Importance to thoproposedsehnmo

bo useless , Snld a general manager this
afternoon : "What wo need is , not a iftnv us-
icclatlon , but n supplementary agreement to
ho ono now lu effect. Our present agree
ment is good enough as fur ns it goes niul all
, vo need is an additional contract of a character -
actor that will diminish or entirely remove
.ho temptation to cut rates. Wo have a plan

jonthwo stern Missouri points nnd It
Is working satisfactorily. If It wcro put In
"orco at all Missouri river points and ut tit.
'nul and Minneapolis , I believe wo would
tiavo no more trouble from cut throat compe

adopt n supplementary agreement to that end
nnd there will bo no need of a now nssocla-
Ion such ns the eastern bankers and railway
uagnatea propose to give us. "

The ad van co in grain nnd flour rates bo-

with the other members of the advisory board
for the purpose of ascertaining what date will
be most convenient for all but further than
this no arrangement has been made for the
conference. It is generally believed hero that
the meeting will , bo held in Chicago and not
in New Yord , as A larger representation can
bo secured hero than In the cast. " The Chicago
cage & Alton will participate In a meeting
iero but will pay no attention to it If it Is
lield in Now York. ' 1'ho power and iulluonco
of the Alton is recognized by other companies
nud they are inclined to mane a concession , If
by so doing they can secure President Ulnck-

Tbo charter amendment committee met
yesterday afternoon in tbo mayor's oflico.
Every member of the committee wns present
and the discussion was free and earnest.
A number of points that had not been dis
cussed before were presented and the meet
ing was quite profitable In bringing out the
different views of the gentlemen on the com
mittee.
It was moved and carried to incorporate in
the proposed changes a section giving the
mayor the authority , with iho consent of the
council , to appoint the city clerk with a salary
of fci.OOO a year.

ot having them all elected ns councilmen-at-
large , but thcso propositions were finally laid
on the table ,
Mr. Moriarty submitted n proposition , to
raise the salaries of councilmcn to $1,500 per
annum. This proposition brought out a vig
orous discussion nnd wns strenuously op
posed by Mr. Kosownter , who held that un
less the number of councilmcn bo decreased
tbo salaries should not bo Increased.
It was decided to recommend that a major
ity of the city council bo maao n quorum for
the transaction of business , and that the snnio
rule bo made good in the ooard of public
works.
A motion was made and carried rceotn-
metulhlg that the supervision of public build
ings bo plnrod in the hands of the board of
public works , butoxccptlon Is made by buildings -
ings now in process of construction.
A section will also bo recommended which
will authorize the county treasurer to pay on
demand to the city treasurer 75 per cent of
all taxes belonging to tlio city , nnd also such
moneys ns may arlso from the levying of the
road and bridge tax against the property of
the city , nnd which shall bo expended upon
the streets of the city.
The committee favors the Idea of tnxlni
local property for local improvements , nnd
authorizing the council to so mnko all nuiU
levies ,
A motion wns passed recommending Unit
paring , curbing and guttering lx > awarded to
only ono contractor on each struct paved us a
sinL'le contract.
The committee favors the appointment of a
city assessor , nnd recommended the salary to
