WASHINGTON. Feb. IT.-fPpei lal Tele
gram.) It will be mutter of universal re
gret in thousand hn will attend the 'ml
centennial celebration of the. organisation
of Nebraska on May 30 at Omaha that
the cadets from Wit f'olnt will be unable
to participate In that celebration. Senator
Millard. In conjunction with Secretary 1'tt
of the Commercial club, hns requested the
TVar department to permit the West Point
er! to go to Omaha from St. Ixiuls and
Join In the exercises commemorating Ne
braska's admission Into the sisterhood of
states. Senator Millard received the fol
lowing letter from Acting Adjutant Gen
eral Hall:
Referring to the previous correspondence
in the. matter of the request of Mr .1 K.
Vttt. secretary of the Commercial club of
Omaha, In the event of the West I'olnt
cadets vlsllln the Louisiana, Purchase ex-
sitlon at Ft. Iouls In Alsy ne. tney mm
e permitted to visit Omaha, with a view of
participating in tne ceremonies incident 10
the seml-cer.tennlnl of the oriTHnliatlon of
Nebraska on May an next. I have tlie honor
to quote for your information the follow
Ing remarks on the subject by the superin
tendent of the I'nlted States Military acad
emy. In which the chief of staff concurs:
"It Is not believed to-be ttrartlrable to ar
range for the corps of cadets to participate
In the ceremonies of the seml-centennlal of
the orranlaaflen of Nebraska on May Jf. A
curtailment of the various courses has been
necessary In order to allow the battalion to
leavo West Point on May 2H. as Is now the
Intention, and any further curtailment and
disarrangement of the courses would be un
wise. The number of days to be spent at
the exposition should not be diminished.
s the time which the cadets can devote
to sightseeing Is. tinder the present, ar
rangement, not greater than Is to be de
sired. An attempt tc.i visit Omaha at this
time would materially lessen the amount of
time available In St. Louis."
Dover Appointment (Sootl Polities.
The appointment of Klmer Povrr as sec
retary of the national republican committee
Is regarded by republicans as a determina
tion on the part of the president to wipe
out all factions in the party, and It Is said
that undoubtedly by his present course he
Is furthering happier conditions. Among
politician the selection of Mr. Dover, who
ivaa Senator Hanna's confidential secretary,
which la said to have txwn by the request
cf the president. Is regarded an a engaoloun
stroke of bolitU a. Mr. Dover's relations to
the whole Hanna faction were so peculiarly
intimate that his Invitation to Join the
political council of the administration Is
uAceptible of only one construction, tor
ltal recognition of the Iianna men. Lately
the president has been hobnobbing with
Senator Scott of West Virginia, which is
taken to mean the president wants to wipe
cut the lines between the suppositious
Rooseve't faction and the so-called iianna
faction and to do o by asking Senator
rVoott to give the party the benefit of his
advice and political experience In the com
ing campaign.

SEW YORK FOR ROOSEVELT
Republican Central Committee Endorses the
Candidacy of the President
CALLS STATE CONVENTION FOR APRIL
Hesolatlona I naalmoosly Adopted at
Meeting: of Committee Which
Fixes Time and Place
lor Catherine
NEW YORK, Feb. 27 April 12 was
agreed upon as the date for the state re
publican convention and President Roose
velt was endorsed for the presidential nomi
nation at the meeting of the state repub
lican committee here today. Both resolu
tions were adopted unanimously.
The state convention will be held In Car
negie hall, this city. A committee was ap
pointed to draw s resolutions of regret at
the death of Senator Hanna and Timothy
Ellsworth. Governor Odell sat in the meet
ing holding a proxy for L. 8. Goodsell of
Highland Falls.
The resolutions endorsing President
Roosevelt were as follows:
The republican state committee of New
York take this occasion to declare Its en
tire loyalty to President Theodore Roose
velt as the representative of bis party In
his native state. We are proud of his dis
tinguished services to his country. We
admire his alert Americanism and his de
votion to the highest Ideals of government.
His character, his fidelity to the progress of
republicanism and his singleness of
purpose In administering the affairs of
government In the Interest of the entire
nation have commended him to all good
citizens without regard to party. We
iedge to him our earnest support lor nomi
nation and look with confidence to the
verdict of the people on election day.

ception and was greeted by many of the
republican politicians present.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 37. (New York Her
aid Service Special Telegram to Tho Bee.)
Senate leaders regard with apprehension
the necessity of considering a civil service
pension bill at this session of congress.
Notwithstanding the feeling a measure of
this kind will be reported by the house com
mittee on Invalid pensions.
Differences of opinion regarding the age
limit have caused tho de-'ay in the consid
eration of this bill. Indications all point to
65 years as the age at -vhlch civil war vet
erans will be entitled to a pension under
the provisions of the bill. This decision has
practically been reached, it Is considered
a Just and equitable recognition of the
services of the survivors of the war. The
money required with this age limit will not
be so large as seriously to embarrass the
treasury.
A careful estimate by the pension office
of the amount necessary to pay these pen
sions shows that the maximum at any time
under the operation of such a law would be
less than t.10,000,00. It would be a physical
Impossibility for the clerical force of the
pension office to push through more than
600 pensions a day. It Is t estimated that
less than $10,000,000 would be paid out on
pensions, as prepared, In the first year.
These pensions would, Jt Is believed, call
for approximately $15,0110,000 the second year,
and possibly reach tl9,60O,0u0 thereafter.
This would be the high water mark. In
the opinion of the pension office experts a
decrease in - payments would then begin
because of the ages reached by the bene
ficiaries. ,
House leaders believe that the time has
arrived for the enactment of such legisla
tion. When the bill is reported it will pass
that body with little debate, and It la likely
to be serloiusly considered by the upper
chamber, where opinion on Its merits is
still divided. The senate may defer action
until the next session.

CLOSES BIG IRON CONTRACT
Order of Steel Corporation Pots Many
Laborers to Work In
Ohio.
CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 27. -The United
States steel corporation today closed a
contract with the Bessemer Pig Iron com
pany for 130,000 tons of pig Iron at 113 per
ton at the valley furnaces. Directly and
Indirectly this will employ 3.000 men. It
will require all the combined output of all
the furnaces In the Mahoning and She
nango valleys, some of which have been Idln
for six months. The price at which the
pig iron was sold Is an advance of about
60 cents per ton over the price prevailing
In January.
Every blast furnace owned by the United
States steel corporation In the central west
Is now In full operation and the material
contracted for today Is In addition to Its
own output. The feeling among Iron men
In this city today Is distinctly optimistic,
many expressing the opinion that the
period of depression experienced In some
quarters during the past several months
has run its course and that the prospects
for a season of renewed prosperity in the
Iron trade are now exceedingly good. The
starting tip of the Mahoning and Bhenango
valley furnaces will stimulate the demand
for coke. It la said, and the single order
given by the United States Steel corpora
tion today will require at least 130,000 tons
of coke and from 66,000 to 75,000 tons of
limestone.
The contract Just closed will result In
taking the Bessemer output out of the open
market for some time to come.

Before Captain Miller of the Columbia

letter of thanks from I'nlted States Min

minister said:
Allow me to say that our people In the

the officers for the able and efficient
manner in which they at all times have
maintained the national honor and con
served American interests abroad and
when such occasions have occurred they
have won and added new laurels not only
for themselves, but for the nation at large

history. The American people cannot be
too proud of Its naval vessels and of the
officers and men who man thorn, as they
stand today before the world, the groat
bulwarks of the nation's defense and na
tional honor.
