WASHINGTON. Jan. 14. ( Special Tele- cram. ) Had there been an opening planned for Senator Thurston In which to make his maiden qffort In the senate , It could not have been moro effective than that today which gave Nebraska's Junior senator hla first op portunity to be heard on a subject very cloao * o him , the old soldlerl and his pension. Al though opposing his colleague , Senator Allen , who contended that pensions of officers' wid ows were too high , Thurston gave no affront when ho carne out squarely In favor of sup porting the pension committee In Its recom mendation for Increased pensions for widows of those who had fought , for the preservation of union. 'With the memory of a father who died on tlio field of battle , and nn aged mother drawing a monthly pittance upon which to clothe and feed her children , Senator Thurs ton could not remain silent , and addressing himself at once to the subject , said : "Mr. President My father fought and died , a pilvato edldlcr , for his country. My mother was left , perhaps , as needy and desti tute its any widow of that great conflict. For almost thirty years , and down to ex treme * old ago , she drew from this govern ment n pittance of $ S n month. I stand here today upon th's lloor , the son of that father and of that mother , deeply sensible of the scant and pitiable Justice which has been done by thla country to the survivors of the late war and to their widows and their orphans. But , sir , I am profoundly grateful to every man who fought that this govern ment might live. I have enjoyed and have shared the blcss'ngs and opportunities of the glorious republic which they loft me , ami I shall never stand upon this floor and seek to reduce any pension repotted by the committee of this body to the widow of any man who fought for his country. I would gladly use the figure put In thin pension bill as an argument why the pension to every other widow In this country should bo Increased. There has been scant Justice done to the widows of the pri vate soldier ? , but has there boon too great a measure ot Justice meted cut to the widows of the officers , thopo distinguished men whew gallantry list alone , but whose military genius prevailed , under Grant and Sherman , against one of the most splendidly officered armies tint the world has ever known ? Ris ing hero for the first time , In my place In the senate ot my country , I go upon the record as being in favor of every pension to every widow of every soldiertf the republic , and as being opposed to any reduction In any amount which the committee of this body sees fit to recommend. " WAS GENERALLY CONGRATULATED. Hardly had he concluded when Senators Sherman , Hoar , Hawley , Chandler and Vllas oimo forward to congratulate their associate. Senator Allen said : "The speech was worthy the man , and beautifully conceived. " Representative * Mercer Introduced a bill loilay placing W. W. Lowe of Omaha on the retired list with rank and pay of major , ho being at the time of his resignation In 1869 a major In the Sixth United States cavalry. The bill recites that General Lowe Is d grad uate of West Point , entering the academy from Iowa , and served from Juno ' 49 to 'C9. Mr. Mercer has now asked the adjutant general - oral of Nebraska to request 200 stands of arms from the War department for the use of the High school cadets of Omaha. Senator Thurston presented a petition from numerous citizens of North Platte , asking for the passage of an act restricting Immigra tion. Also resolutions from the state coun cil , A. P. A. , of Nebraska , asking belligerent rights for the Cubans. Ho Introduced bills to provide for two additional federal judicial circuits to be carved out of the Eighth and Ninth circuits , which extend over the whole country , north of Texas and west of the Mis sissippi river , to regulate procedure In pen sion catisa , and to Increase the number of justices of the supreme court to conform to the Increase In circuits. Senator Gear today Introduced a bill for the appointment of a commission to affect an adjustment between the United States end the Sioux City & Pacific railroad , rela tive to certain bonds Issued by the United States In aid of the construction of said rail road , which has terminals at Sioux City and Fremont , Neb. The bill provides for three commissioners at $500 per month each ind a scqrctary at $10 per diem to take testimony and examine witnesses and to make a report not later than December 1 , next. This Is President Marvin Hughltt's plan for the settlement of the government Interest In the Sioux City & Pacific , a gov- irnment-aldcd railroad , which amounts to fl.GOO.,000 , with Interest. The reason for the rlslt of the president of the Northwestern lystem to Washington Is now made apparent. The bill was referred to Senator Gear's com- lilttco on Pacific railroads. Cuutcdkin McLaughllu of the abandoned Fort Randall , S. D. , m'lltary reservation recently wired the Interior department ask ing the secretary to give authority to the agent at the Greenwood reservation to assist In the protection of the reservation.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 14. The proceedings of the senate were enlivened today by a spirited Intcrchnngo ot words between Sen ator Allen of Nebraska on ono side and a number of republican senators on tlio other , the bono ot contention being a special pen sion bill. Senator Thurston , the now senator from Nebraska , maJo hU maiden speech during the afternoon. The special bill under debate was the ono Granting n. pension of $75 monthly to the widow of the late Brigadier General Coggs- well , n representative In congress from Massachusetts at the tlma of his death. Mr. Hill and Mr. Mills wanted information as to the system pursued In granting thcro special pensions and Mr. Alien , populist of Nebraska , opposed discrimination , snylng : "I want to go on record as op posing any distinction between the widow ot the private soldier and that of the brigadier general. " It was the plain private soldier , he added , who met the brunt of the war. To hear senators talk It would bo thought that the brigadier generate won the war. It was a species of "namuy-pambylsm" and " " unamerlcan dis "flunkeylsm. It was an crimination. Mr. Hawlcy , republican , said that the gov ernment recognized question of rank even If th ? Nebraska senator did not , and while eulogizing the services of the plain ooldler , ho painted out that the mortality .among ofllcers was greater than that among men In tlio ranks. Mr. Hoar asked If Mr. Allen's logic would lead him to approve placing the salary of General Miles at $13 per month. "It would doubtless measure the value ot his uorvlces In many cases , " answered Mr. Allen. Mr. Hoar asked If the Nebraska senator did not "pocket $5,000 a year" while some poor constituent made only 76 cents a day. "Atleast I pookct no more than $3,000 , " replied Mr. Allen suggestively , and added that senators talked as though God made some distinction between the soldier and the general. "Then who madei the distinction ? " asked Mr. Hawley. "You gentlemen make It , " replied Mr. Allen. THUttSTON'S DEDUT. Mr. Thurston , republican of Nebraska , nude his maiden speech In the senate In sup port of liberal pensions , and eloquently portrayed trayed the services of his deceased father as a plain soldier. Ho urged that the wai heroes have the' amplest pensions. This bill ( theCoggswell ) , Instead of having Us allow ance reduced , should servo to advance the allowance of all who served In the war. Mr. Thurston expressed satisfaction that his first words In the senate should bo In support of a pension. Mr. Vllas said the senate would certainly show full Justice In granting pensions , but he pointed out that certain peculiar Influences prevailed resulting In discriminations In pen sions to widows of officers , which bore se verely on tha old soldiers and they'felt It. The suggestion of "peculiar Influences" was hotly resented by Mr. Lodge. Mr. Allen' 'disclaimed all purpose of attacking the widow and addeJ that It was only when the blue blood was touched that Lodge grew elo quent. A motion by Allen to reduce It to $50 was agreed to 23 to 36 the democrats with some exceptions supporting the motion , and all the republicans voting against It. The , bill was then passed without division. , ? u The Associated , press bulletin announcing the election at Columbus , O. , of Mr. Foralcer to the United States senate was received and started a buzz of comment among the sena- tois. Mr. Sherman read the bulletin and nodded his head approvingly. Mr , Brlce was not present. A now phase of the financial question was presented by Mr. Mills In the form of a resolution giving several questions of policy , substantially as follows : First , against the retirement of outstand ing legal tender notes ; second , favoring the coinage of the silver bullion In the treasury ; third , the Issuance of emergency legal tender notes In case of a deficiency ; fourth , against Interest-bearing bonds ; fifth , establishing a policy of the United States In paying obligations In both gold and silver ; cjlxtb , repudiating the theory that a public debt Is a public blessing ; seventh , urging the rapid extinguishment of the national debt and the maintenance of the sinking fund therefor. Mr. Mills' resolution went to the table until tomorrow , when ho may make some remarks upon It. A bill granting to the Atchlson & Nebraska Railroad company and the Chicago , Bur lington & Qulncy company a right of way across part of the Sac and Fox reservation was passed. * BUTLER OPPOSED TO BONDS. The bond silver bill was taken up at 2 o'clock and Mr. Butler , popullat of North Carolina , offered an amendment prohibiting tbo Issuance of Interest-bearing bonds and directing the secretary of the treasury to pay In gold or silver according to the mar ket values of the coins. Mr. Butler spoke In opposition to bond Issues. It would not do , ho said , for either th ? republican or democratic side of the senate to evade res ponsibility by saying that it had no major ity."I "I pledge , " said ho , "six people's party votes In this chamber to either party that will otop th ? further Issue of bonds , and six votes will glvo the majority to cither side. In fact , either party can have a majority In this body when It desires to pass any law In the Interest of th'o American people. " Mr. Butler spoke of th ? Benedict Arnolds of finance ! who were betraying their country Into the hands of the gold speculators. IIo referred to the "wild cranks and fanatical remedies of Dr. Cleveland and Dr. Carlisle" In ministering 'to tbo financial patient. Mr. Butler cloned at 4:25 : and the senate held a brief executive session , adjourning at 4:45 : until tomorrow. NEW PACIFIC HAIMIOAD MEASURE. I'rovlileM for Forciilnnurc nnil UHI- iimte 1'nyineiit of Government Debt. WASHINGTON , Jon. 14. In the hous Mr. Stiafroth of Colorado Introduced a Pacific railroad bill. It contemplates a foreclosure Eulo of the Union and Central Pacific rail- reid properties and In the event that the title vests In the- government there shall bo organized a government railroad company. The company Is to bo managed by a board of directors appointed by the president and au soon a organized the property vested In the United States by a foreclosure sale IB to bo conveyed to It. The company Is then to deliver to the United States fifty-year 3 per cent bonds to the amount ot the total In debtedness of the railroad to the government , secured by a mortgage on all the property , subject only to the bJnds secured by first mortgage upon the- property In the event the United States his not purchased or paid the same. The stock of the now company Is to bo sold at public auction and the amount realized applied to the Indebtedness of the government and when the latter Is fully paid the stockholders are to trganlzo a now cor poration. The government railroad company Is then to convey the railroad and properties to It upon the surrender and cancellation of the stock of the old company. The senate Pacific railroad committee to day decided to take up the various Pacific railroad bllli on Monday next. The commit tee will probably grant hearings and among others will have the Union Pacific reorgani zation commutes before thorn , QUAKER OATS Tbo Child Loves It.

The house pcnt today In further Ocbato upon the pension appropriation bill. The speakers , with a plnglo exception , wcjo * ll republicans , and all favored a liberal administration of the pension laws nnd the adoption of the Changes In the existing Irfir proposed by the bill. Among the speakers today was General John A , Walker , who served \vlth distinc tion In tbo confederate. army from Manassas to Apnomattcx. Ho la the only republican representative from' ' "Virginia. Hlg assurance ot the gooJ feeling that existed In the south toward the unlcn soldier and the lack of hostility touarrt the pension system was warmly received on both sides of the house. Mr. Cummlngs , democrat of New York , cre ated a mild sensation by a severe arraign ment of the pennon oJllco for hostility to the old soldier and a strong repudiation of the speech made yesterday by Mr. Bartlett - lett , who Is also ono of the Tammany con gressmen from Now York. It seems proba ble now that the general debate ou the pension bill ntll contlnuo for several days. The house took up the pension appropria tion bill Immediately on convening and Mr. Nortlway , republican of Ohio , replied to the criticisms offered by Mr. Uartlctt , dem ocrat of Now York , yesterday. It mattered not to him whether pensions were legal gratuities or constituted vested rights. Mor ally , they were higher than vested rights could be. Pensions should bo given In a broad , catholic , humane spirit. Tlit old vet eran should not be placed In the position of a mendicant. The spirit In which UID pension laws were now being administered was manifestly unfriendly to the soldier. In proof of this he cited the case of a sol dier who had lost ono arm and ono leg who was deprived of his pension under the total disability act of 1SDO because ho was able to earn $25 a month as guard nt a railroad crossing. The pension bureau bad ruled that under the act of 1S90 , If n widow's Income exceeded $96 a year , she wan not entitled to a pension. A soldier's widow should not be obliged to stand shiv ering and starving at the door of the pen sion office In order to obtain a pension , and the pensions committee therefore had re ported an amendment to the present law re quiring thnt as a condition precedent to re ceiving n pension she should prove that her net Income did not exceed $500. Mr. Hemenway , republican of Indiana , fa vored the adoption of the Graft amendment prohibiting the suspension of pensions un less fraud had been proven In n United States court. He predicted that In Novem ber next the people would elect a repub lican president , who would appoint a loyal man from the north secretary of the In terior to administer the pension laws with lustlce and fairness to the old soldier. Mr. Arnold , republican of Pennsylvania , In criticising the pension office , denounced particularly the practice of calling on dem ocratic postmasters to furnish Information as to alleged fraudulent pensions. Mr. Gibson , republican of Tennessee , who was pension agent at Nashville In 1SS1 de voted much time to the exploitation of par- titular cases which he claimed proved the hostility of the pension ofllce. A t'peeeh by Mr. Walker , republican of Virginia , attracted moro than usual atten tion. Mr. Walker was a general In the con federate army on the staff of General Jubal Rarly. He replied particularly to the re mark of Mr. Hemenway to the effect that when a republican again took his place In the white house no man from the south would preside oven the ipenslon office. General - oral Walker declared there was a mUap- pichonslon of the reeling and the sentiment of the southern people and the southern soldiers toward pensions for the men who fought for the union. There was no senti ment against the uensloa policy of the gov ernment In the southland ho assured his republicans friends of the north that the fortunes and pensions of the union soldiers would be safe In the hands ? of the soldiers of the south. His "remarks elicited applause from both aides of the hall. Mr. Wood , republican of Illinois , Mr. Fitz- patrlck , republican of ( Kansas , and Mr. Poole , icpubllcan of NewjYork , followed , and then Mr. Cummlngs , democrat of New York , cre ated the sensation pf the day by a short but bitter arraignment of the pension oIHce and an eloquent repudiation " of the t'ontl- nicnts expressed by his , , colleague , Mr. ' Bartlett - lett , yesterday. He declared It was time some radical action was taken to call a halt on the pbnslon ofllce. At the conclusion of Mr. Cummlngs' speech the committee rose and the speaker an nounced the appointment of the Chlckamiuga park commission as follows : Mesurs. Gros- yener of Ohio , Koifer of Minnesota , Strong of Ohio , Avery of Michigan , Bowers of Cali fornia , republicans ; Wheeler of Alabama , Cox of Tennessee , Maddox and Crisp of Georgia , democrats. ' Ho also announced the appointment of Delegate Flynn of Oklahoma to the com mltteo on agriculture and Murphy of Ari zona on coinage , weights and measures and mines and mining. The house then , at 4:25 : , adjourned until tomorrow. _ SUGGESTIONS I''OH THIS IIOMJ ISSUE. Receive Miiiiy I.ettcrH from CoiiHtltneiitM. WASHINGTON , Jan. 14. Several mem bers of congress have heard from their con stituents In the banking business upon the forthcoming bond Issue- with requests that Homo sort of legislative provision bo at tempted to allow the use of the bonds ao reserves. By this arrangement , it is said , the smaller banks would subscribe more freely to the Issue. A bill with this purpose his been introduced by Mr. O'Dell of New York , providing that not to exceed 'CO per cent of the reserve may bo held In bond * ' . but no commltteo action has been taken on It. M. II. Clement , president of the Flrat National bank of Farlbault , Minn , , has tele graphed to Representative Heatwolo that If the bond bill which passed the house and Is before the nenato can bo amended to permit banks to hold bonds for a limited time as a part of their reserves the banks would un doubtedly exchange gold for the total Issue , and the banks ot his section would maUo largo subscriptions. ' Comptroller Eckels of the Treasury spoke rather disparagingly of the movement , and suggested that banks could not pay de positors In bonds , and that they might be embarrassed In case ot unexpected demands. A novel suggestion regarding the bone Issue is made by Mr. McOall of Massachu setts. He says t'jat ' If the bond Issues are to continue- might bo a paying Investment for this government to spend $100,000 In disseminating Information in Europe con cerning Its financial status and operations , so that foreign gold might be sent over for bonds In other words that wo advertise. If European Investors , , he says , could be made to realize- what a bagatelle the debt of the United States Is compared with Its rcsourc : * , and that always the , creditors of the gov ernment had been palu In whatever kind or money they wanted , they would bo anxious to' take all the Untied.

Unit oil SlntoH Can Ilvniler IV'o Alii to the Armeiilimn. WASHINGTON , Jan. 14. Senator Culiom , who Is a member of the senate committee on foreign relations , and chairman of the sub committee on Armenian affairs , said today that he did not ECO what action the United States could take In the matter of the ex clusion of the Red Cross society from Tur key. Any government , ho says , has the right to cxcluda any or all persons from Its territory. It Is a right which all nations re serve , the United States aa well as others Neither by legislation nor executive order could the United States compel Turkey to admit the Red Cross society. Senator Cullpm cays that there Is lltttlo that congress can do In the matter of Armenian outrages except to express In emphatic terms Ita horror of the outrages per petrated anddirect the secretary } f state to communicate the action to the Turkish government. Senator Culiom has had no conference with Secretary Olnoy on thla subject. Yesterday Mlto Re becca Krakorlan , an Armenian , called on SenaUr Culiom and made a statement of the conditions existing there. She claimed that this government shuld atop the slaughter of Armenians. The missionaries who have been to Armenia , she argued , have taught the people Christianity and made themselves and their pupllu the subjects of Turkish hatred. It Is now no more thin right , the said , that the people of this country protect the mlu- aionarlea and the converts they have made and put a step , to this slaughter. At the Rod Cross headquarter * today the statement was made that , Inasmuch as the Turk I ah government has vlpnlfied Its purpose to exclude the society , or any other agent of relief , It now remains for tbo national Ar menian relief committee to take the next tep. If It Is deulred to carry forward the work. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Itcniovlnur Confederate DlHiiMlltlfH.

Jan , 14. In an Interview today tbo Turkish minister said : "You ask no what I have to say about the follow- ng statement : 'Tho Rod Cross noddy has decided not to pay any attention to the communication until It Is officially trans mitted to Jt by the Turkish government or the Turkish minister. ' "My answer Is very simple and It Is as follows : The Red Cross lias never communi cated with this legation. It has only com municated to my knowledge with the press and the public , its president. Miss Clara Barton , assisting , without protest , at public meetings where tlio most gros ? and unjust abuse was made of the Turkish government , religion and race. As the Red Cross or Its representatives never approached this lega tion. It Is clear and logical that this lega tion has nothing to communicate to said society. TliIt legation sent Its communication Lo the press because It Is the public tint : ho Red Cross took Into Its confidence. But , naturally , I will always be ready and pleased : o glvo the Red Cross society any Informa tion It may think It proper to ask for. " "This whole question , " added the minister , "Is a question of right Suppose for one moment that your own Indians were to revolt against your legitimate authority ; suppose that you put down their revolt and suppose that In some foreign country some foreigners were to calumniate publicly your civilization , your race and your religion. Not satisfied with that , suppose that these foreigners , on the strength of such false ac cusations , were to ralso money and bring It for distribution through t lie It' own channels , however respectable the latter may be , to the Trery people that revolted against your government. Would that money raised on hatred and denunciation ; would even a moral a'd from foreigners bo welcome to this great country of yours , however welcome It might ba for obvious reasons to your Indians ? As you see , this whole question Is a very clear one. But I wish , you at the same tlmo Id understand that , even today , notwithstand ing the contrary assurances of Interested parties , the Turkish government has no ani mosity whatever against the Armenians and only wishes to ECO them prosper under Its legitimate and rightful authority.
