Wilkes Booth. All-the important halls in tho aty of Boston have been engaged for the use of comrades daring the national encamp­ ment. The annual encampment of the Divis­ ion of Alabama and Tennessee, Sons of Veterans, was held at Chattanooga, Tenn., March 6. Four thousand two hundred and fifty pension certificates were issued during the week enuing March 22, 1890. The issue for the four weeks ending on that date aggregate 15,164, as against 8,012 for the corresponding four weeks of 1889. The Assistant Adjutant .General's re­ port, Department of Missouri, Q. A. R., for the year ending Dec. 31, 1889, shows a membership of 19,338, a gain of nearly 3,000. Fifty-four new posts have been mustered since the 1889 encampment. Superintendent Captain Fred Smidth, of the National f 'mm UMf wt ttebury Landing, Tenn., requests that the 0. A, R. Posts send him flags enough to put one flag at each comrade's grave in the cemetery. There are 3,569 comrades buried there. Leu the Chicago comrades send these flags. The four drafts during - the rebellion were: Total number drawn, 776,829; total w&o personally served, 46,607; total who failed to report (ran away), 161,244; total exempted, 315,509; to­ tal furnishing substitutes, 73,607; total discharged for cause, 93,398; total who paid commutation, 86,724; total amount commutation paid, $26,366,316. The average age of the survivors of the late war is now fifty years, and the state­ ment was made by the late Commissioner of Pensions, Gen. J. C. Black, in his of­ ficial report of June, 1888, that the aver­ age death age of the oldest soldiers of the late war is fifty-six years. Delay simply means waiting for death to save money. The soldiers who went to the field in 1862 to 1865, gave to their country in wages and business opportunities sacri­ ficed by them an inconceivably greater *um than any other class of creditors, without taking into account the wreck­ ing of health, shortening of life and fu­ ture wage-earning ability destroyed by the effects of their service, with their pay forced upon them in a depreciated cur­ rency at par, whatever its discount, which the Government so far makes no pretense of equalizing or paying back with interest. A count just completed shows that there are now 460,056 unadjudicated and pending claims on file in the Pension Office, classified as follows: Invalid claims, 182,955; widow's claims, 75,370; invalid increase claims, 109,776; widow's increase and accrued claims, 2,415. Of these cases 35,340 have been placed up­ on the list of "completed files" for imme­ diate consideration. The entire adjudi­ cating force of the bureau will devote five days in each week to the consideration of theee completed cases until the list is dis­ posed of. Department Commander Distin, of Quincy, was in the city last week to see what further could be done toward get­ ting the old soldiers out of the Cook County poor house. He and Adjutant General A. D. Reade, Captain John J. Healey, and other prominent G. A. R. men are getting these men out as fast as possible; and soon the blot will be wiped out. It is well to state in this con­ nection that soldiers must be citizens of this State two years before they are eligi­ ble to the Quincy homes. No old soldier wb 3 has a clear record need stay in the poor house twenty-four hours if he \sould make his case known to any 6. A. R. post. Senator Davis introduced a bill on Feb. 14, providing for the pensioning at the rate of $25 a month from March 4, 1889, of all women who were army nurses during the late war and who rendered six months' service in camp, on the field,, or in the general hospital. Women who now receive pensions as army nurses at a rate less than $25 a month, shall have their pensions increased to that amount. The bill also provides that those who now receive pensions ap the widows or dependent mothers of soldiers, who would be entitled to the benefits of this bill, may also receive $25 a month daring life, as an increase of their present pension. The most practicable and the only equitable pension law that can be en­ acted by the present Congress is embod­ ied in the Per Diem Pension Bill--that bill that proposes to give every soldier who was mustered into the United States service and served thirty days or more, exactly one cent per day, each month of his remaining life, for every day he served until he was honorably discharged. Of course this is in addition to the disability pension now or hereafter to be allowed under existing law. When the soldier ar­ rives at the age of sixty years give him $8 per month, unless his per diem pay­ ments is a larger sum and give every sol­ dier's widow $12 per month if she needs it. Wanted the Barns Burned. The following story is told of General Sherman, the time being just after hie failing to break Joe Johnson's front at Kenesaw Mountain: "It was plain that more flanking must be done, so the Great Flanker' ordered General Cox's Division of the Twenty-third Corps to make a detour and threaten the enemy's left. This involved a long march, and General Sherman made his way to the top of a high hill, where we were lying, to enable him to overlook the country and see operations better. He sat on a stump with a map spread out on his knees, and was giving General Cox direc­ tions as to bis line of march. After doing this he mounted his horse aud started away, but, after having gone a little dis­ tance, he shouted back: 'See here, Cox, bnrn a lew barns occasionally as you go along. I can't understand those signal flags, but I know what smokte means." 8en Bhsmaa'iFavorits Room. The General has taken for his especial quarters the front basement of his new bouse. In the wall he built a^reat fire­ proof safef in which he has stored every documeut of value connected with his long and brilliant career in the army, his commissions, orders from the War De­ partment, diaries, correspondence, every note he has jotted down, everything that has a value as a part of his soldiering. On. the walls hang maps of the field of baffe' tlweSflft led ftto flten fton 'vic­ tory to vidtory. On the floor are his camp-chests--stored as they ever have been with his uniforms and the clothes he wore beneath them, with his swords and belts and all the accouterments of a Gen­ eral's trappings and camp outfit. Even h is canteen is there, and it is never empty. At his desk sits his private secretary elbow-deep in letters from every State and County, from every nation on earth, inclosing war data of experiences under Sherman, or queries about disputed points in that active life of the General's, that has loug been a rounded chapter to the world, though it never can be to him or to his friends and comrades, or to the historians, so long as he is alive to keep it fresh.--Cha t ter Among others the following pension bills, all of which are entitled to favora­ ble consideration, wore introduced in Congress since the beginning of the pres­ ent term: By Senator Dawes--The bill prepared by the Grand Army of the Republic for extending the pension laws. By Senator Manderson--A bill grant­ ing pensions to ex-soldiers incapacitated for manual labor. By Senator Voorhees--A bill for the payment of the arrears of pensions from the date of the death or discharge. By Senator Davis--A bill granting pen­ sions to ex-soldiers and ex-sailors inca­ pacitated for manual labor and to de­ pendent relatives. By Senator Mitchell--A bill extending the Mexican Pension Act to all who served thirty days or more in any war since 1845. t By Senator Ingalls--A bill for the al­ lowance of cumulative pemions. By Senator Turpie--A bill granting a pension of ""one cent a month for each day's service in the army daring the late war. By Senator Ingalls--A bill granting ferrears in certain pension cases. The bill provides that any person who has been granted a pension by a special act of Congress, may apply to the Commis­ sioner of Pensions for increase or arrears of pension, which shall begranted if upon examination it appears that the disabil­ ity or injury, was incurred while in the line ot duty. . . .J At their recent meeting in Baltimore the Union Veterans of Maryland gave the Legislature of that State a well-merited rebuke for its failure to recognize the Union soldiers in any way, and especially for its failure to complete the record of those soldiers. On the other hand, the State has been generous to the ex-rebels. Its latest act was to donate the State Arsenal at Pikeville for a Confederate Home, with an annual donation for its maintenance. There is no excuse for this partiality for rebels. It is estimated that not more than 5,000 men left Mary­ land to join the Confederacy, and a large portion of these spedily secured "bomb proof" positions in Richmond, and Ml tbem during «h» war. It used to lit * Virginians that most of the safe places . ^ f|: were filled by "Maryland refugees." On - \ the other hand, Maryland sent "0,316 ">f. men into the Union army, and amongf *,f % them were as fine fighting regiments aa wore the blue. The Maryland I^egislatttro § has not even the excuse that the Legisla- ^ tares of the Southern States make--that; J the rebel soldiers were in the service of if the State. Maryland seceded, and the men who joined the rebel armies could not plead that they were obeying th» orders of their State. They-joined the rebellion simply because they prefered J.' rebellion and slavery to loyalty and free- ,•,$! dom. It was the aristocratic thing in ./* Maryland to be a rebel, as it was in other y Southern States,, and the aristocrats and •17 their toadies, the "poor white trash,"' W sided with the socalled Confederacy. Tho v" middle class--the plain, hard-working, rf fairly-educated people there, as elsewhere, ! sided with the Union, and fought valiant- ^ || ly for it.--National Tribune. The following extract from a book v called "Capitals of South America," in regard to the late General S. A. Hurlbut, , shows how the people of Peru hold his .j' memory in reverence: The people of Peru entertain fhft most cordial sentiments toward the United States, which is the more remarkable be- cause of the feeling prevalent in all classes that the administration of Pres- <s\< ident Garfield was the cause of many of the losses and much of the misery which V' f they suffered during the war of Chili. They cannot be convinced that they were. 4| hot trifled with and betrayed at the most -V critical period of their history, and that Mr. Blaine was not responsible. With- ; out entering into the controversy us to whether Mr. Blaine authorized General '},M Hurlbut to interfere, or whether General - la Hurlbut's action was voluntary, it is nevertheless true that the moment he stepped in Chili held back, and the mo- ment he withdrew she renewed the devas-. ̂ 4^ tatiou of her sister republic with a hun- A dred fold more energy than before. .<• If our government had taken the same A stand in the war between Chili and Peru that she occupied regarding the troubles, •, in the Central American States, thous- I-. ^ ands of lives, property worth millions of i f dollars, and the richest resources of Peru - might have been saved. Mr. Blame's original attitude was that the'Umml States would not tolerate the distuein- berment of Peru, and that was clearly ! and plainly announced with a wholesome effect. All at once the protest was with- k drawn, without warning, without any - ^ premonition, aud then*, with a knife at • \ her throat and a revolver at her heart, ,! Peru consented to surrender the coveted fi|| provinces. • General Hurlbut has been condemned for acting imprudently, for getting our goteranent into a scrapewithoatexcaaa,. . for committing it to a policy that WM - not tenable: but no one can visit Pant •> and see the results of the war without - J respecting the memory of General Hurl- If-J but. ILe acted from the noblest imputes, ' T-'f in behalf of humanity, in defence of civil- ization. Whether he tried to put a stop ;*'i to the war with or without authority, he was justified in doiug so--justified in try- , -•* v ing to prevent the burning of defenseless , cities, the murder of non-combatents • T? the robbery of homes, aud the denpoila- ' tion of everything that was sacred. ^ Peru was overcome, conquered, and resistless. Her army was destroyed and A her citizens, who had attempted to de- fend her capital with what weapons they 4 could gather, were smitten down like V,:^5 grass before the scythe. There was .• i scarcely a voice to be raised in defense of * 'M the women and children. Then the oil- lagocommeiittd*dyn»?nite«.nd wtroieuin "... were the weapons of Chili, and millions of x dollars worth of private proj>erty was ' 8wept away daily, until the Chilians got • jf tired of murder, of rapine, of pillage and , tV devastation. It was these which General <• < Hurlbut tried to prevent, aud had our * government supported him, or at least had not interfered, he would have been ^ successful. As it is, the Chilians laugh ijf and the Peruvians mutter curses, when , • ,o| "the foreign policy of the United States" is mentioned. It is said that Hurlbut ex- j ceeded his instructions, and much of the , blame of failure was thrown upon him. He was a proud aud sensitive man and % felt censure keenly. His disgrace, and ? the neglect of his government to sustain him in the attitude he had taken, not only shortened but ended his life, and he died in Lima a broken hearted man. But he has been canonized by the people of Peru as a political saint, and ttey worship his memory as they do that of Bolivar--the Washington of South Amer- ica, the man who gave liberty to five re- publics. They regard Hurlbut of all Americans. His portrait hangs in their parlors and is still for sale at the photo- : graph galleries and the picture stores. His funeral was attended by the greatest demonstration Peru has ever witnessed, and the grateful people would erect a statue to him if they had money wioiij^h left to pay the expense. 1.
