Washington. Dee. 7.—Senator Cock-
rell has undertaken to help the mem-
bers of the various Missouri militia or-
ganizations to get pay for the horses
and equipments they lost while in the
service. By an agreement between
President Lincoln and Gov. Gamble in
November, 18i 1, it was arranged that
the militia should be called out when-
ever needed for service in the state to
help in preventing confederate raids
and suppressing the rebellion. From
November, 1801, to January, 18G(i, the
militia were called out repeatedly un-
der 1 he agreement. The organizations
were* known variously as the "state
militia," the "enrolled militia" and
tin* "provisional enrolled inilitin."
Many of the members furnished their
own arms, horses and equipments, ami
lost them through no fault of their
own. The senator has prepared a
joint resolution to pay the militia men
for all such losses as occurred through
no neglect or fault of their own. \N liile
the motive of the proposed legislation
is to meet a situation in Missouri,
there is a provision in the bill that will
give it gt-ueral interest. This is that
members of militia in other states who
lost horses or equipments may recover
compensation in a similar manner.
Where states have already reimbursed
their militia for such losses the states
.hall fee reimbursed by the general
government. In Missouri alone there
will be several thousands of these
claims.
The Puyment of Penftlona.
Washington, Dec. 7.—Department
Commander Anderson has received the
report of the G. A. It- committee ap-
pointed at the last encampment to
consider reforms needed in the meth-
od of paying pensions to old soldiers.
Assistant Secretary Reynolds, of the
interior department, having pension
matters in his charge, co-operated with
the committee by asking all pension
agents for information on the use made
by pensioners of their checks. It appears
that in all large cities the old pensioner
is beset by sharks, who get him drunk
and swindle him out of his money.
The G. A. R. committee proposes that
pension checks be mailed to the pen-
sioner's home, and that postmasters be
authorized to execute vouchers instead
of pension agents, and checks in the
hands of anyone but the pensioner or
a member of his family to be absolute-

Ocai.a, Fla., Dec. 7.—W. J. Allsop, a
tie contractor, with headquarters at
Starke's Ferry, on the Oektawaha
river, was here yesterday seeking pro-
tection for negroes against whiteeaps.
Allsop has contracts requiring him to
furnish thousands of ties, and he com-
plains that whiteeaps have so intimi-
dated the negroes that he cannot get
laborers. Some time ago Allsop im-
ported about 1(h) negroes, but they
were tired upon while sleeping and
I three killed. The others tied. He pro-
[cured more negroes, but they, also,
were driven away by whiteeaps, two
being killed, lie claims that white
men in that section have formed an
oath-bound organization for the pur-
pose of preventing the employment of
negroes by contractors. He says near-
ly every white man in the section is a
member of the organization, and that
it is as much as a negro's life is worth j
ton at a social of the Christian En-
deavor society in the church last night.
Both men are negroes. The shooting
was the result of a quarrel about a
sandwich which lvelton ate, but refused
to pay for.

correspondent says: War between the
United States and Great Britain is
threatened. It can be avoided only
by surrender on the part of England.
The contention over the Monroe doe-
trine has reached a stage which will
produce the gravest anxiety on both
sides of the Atlantic until the facts be-
come known. If the American con-
gress will support the president, and
of this there can be no doubt, Great
Britain will soon be given the choice
of surrendering or tighting.

coining to an agreement regarding the
wages for next year. From January 1
till March 31 the mining rate will be
64 cents per ton of 2,000 pounds, and
for the remainder of the year it will
be 70 cents. More important than a
rate agreement was a compact made
by the miners in return for one en-
tered into by the operators. The
miners agreed to abandon the strike
method of obtaining better wages,
and the operators decided to get rid of
every "company" store in the district.
No operator, superintendent or clerk
