Th© Galveston Are department s pension
fund has received a very worthy contri-
bution in the form of $35.01 from a num-
ber of friends.
The list was started by Mr. E. E.
Block, newsdealer and stationer, in his
store, corner Tremont and Postofflce
streets. The money goes into the general
fund of the department’s pension and re-
lief association, which is now burdened
with a monthly pension of $33 on account
of the death of two of its members re-
cently. The monthly income is only
about $52, being one dollar from each of
Its members. There was less than $1003
In the treasury of the association, which
was only two- months old when Firemen
Lester and Nevius were killed, and under
the rules of th© association their fami-
lies are entitled to monthly pensions ag-
gregating $33. The list of contributors
to this $35.01 which has been paid into
the association’s treasury follows:

THE PENSION FUND
Mr.
last of May. You see the people up there
like the sea bathing, and the Galveston
beach affords the desired pleasure. The
amusements here are also a good attrac-
tion and, altogether, I see no reason why
the hotels and rooming houses out there
should not be filled to their capacity
early in the season.”
Agent Richardson reports railroad af-
fairs very lively and business is said to
be holding up remarkably well. Mr.
Richardson will remain here for a day
or so.
Arriving here today also was Mr. H.
P. Dolan, private secretary to Vice Pres-
ident and Manager A. L. Roby of the
Mexican-An^erlcan Steamship company
at New Orleans. It will be remembered
that when Mr. Richardson was agent
here for the Mexican-American line, Mr.
Dolan was chief clerk. It is therefore
rather coincident that the two should
reach the city on the same date.
Dolan will also remain in this city until
tomorrow. He has nothing new to report
of a general nature.

soming out in a sea of color in anticipa-
tion of the opening tomorrow of the
Jamestown ter-centenary expos'tion. At
the exposition grounds the managers and
an army of workmen are getting things
in the best possible shape for the opening.
Although much remains to be done—as is
the case usually with all such affairs—
there will be more than enough novelties
even at the start to Interest all sight-
seers, and the remaining attractions un-
doubtedly will be placed in position be-
fore many days have passed.
Visitors in considerable number are al-
ready arriving and the people of Norfolk
begin to get some idea of the conditions
that will confront them during the sum-
mer and fall. Governors and their staffs
and many other public men were among
today’s arrivals. The visitors, who came
merely to- see, arrived by the hundreds.
Though the rush came like a tidal wave
everybody was promptly and properly
cared for. Bureaus of. information pro-
vided quarters for all who applied for
them. The distinguished guests were met
by escorts and conducted to quarters
previously set apart for their comfort
and entertainment. Many regular and
state troops have come in during the day
to take part in the military pageant that
will be a feature of the opening exer-
cises.
When President Roosevelt reaches here
tomorrow on the yacht Mayflower he will
receice a salute from the largest fleet
ever assembled in these waters. Sixteen
modern battleships flying the United
States flag and under the command of
Rear Admiral Evans are now anchored
in Hampton Roads. Prominent among
them are the battleships Louisiana, New
Jersey, Maine, Virginia, Georgia, Rhode
Island, Alabama, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio,
Iowa, Connecticut and Minnesota. In ad-
dition there are six first-class cruisers
and a number of torpedo boats, making

Norfolk, Va., April 25.—C. Brooks
Johnston, chairman of the governing
board of the Jamestown exposition, has
issued the following statement explain-
ing the exposition situation today:
“While it is of course a source of some
disappointment to the management that
it is not possible to present on April 26
a completed exposition, yet we shall
view with a great degree of satisfaction
the results which will then be in evi-
dence. We wish to be fair with the pub-
lic as we shall hope it to be with us, ana
I desire therefore to authorize unqual-
ifiedly the statement that we expect With-
in two weeks after the opening and cer-
. tainly by the 15th of May, with favor-
able weather, that the exposition will be
all that was expected or has been prom-
ised. We do> not consider that we are
unprepared as expositions go' and we only
ask protection against misrepresenta-
tion.”

tute to strike out the entire section waj<

Several members argued against taxing
collecting agencies while approving th<

Davis of Brazos declared the entire bill
vicious. “Do away with this measure andi
raise the ad valorem rate,” he shouted,
“The lumber Interests were omitted be*,
cause they told the committee they couldl

Madrid, April 25.—The meeting of King
Alfonso and King Edward at Cartagena,
according to the Corresspondecia de La
Espana, which says it has diplomatic au-
thority for the story, resulted in the per-
fection of a far reaching understanding
for the purposes of war and peace.
Everything concerning Morocco was rati-
fied, everything in reference to the gen-
eral European situation was discussed,
and the basis was formulated of an agree-
ment which is now in the hands of dip-
matists.
The outcome, according to the Corre-
spondencia, is the result of the competi-
tion between Germany and Great Britain
for an understanding with Spain, in which
Great Britain has scored all along.
The Correspondencia represents Great
Britain as agreeing in effect that if Spain
would allow Spanish naval ports to be
held by Britain’s fleet, the latter would
help Spain in the conversion of her exist-
ing debt, British squadrons would guar-
antee the security of the Spanish coasts,
the Spanish land forces would, of neces-
sity, be allies of the British, and the
British forces would be at the disposal
of Spain should the latter need them.
Spain’s obligation, under the agreement,
would be to put her arsenals in' order and
to fortify her ports.

Warsaw, Poland, April 25.—The notor-
ious brigand, Stanislaus Lis, author of
many crimes, has been captured at Lublin,
ninety-five miles from here, mortally
wounded after the house in which he
sought refuge had been blown to pieces
by artillery fire. Lis, when he saw a de-
tachment of police advancing on the house,
barricaded himself within and opened fire
on the police, killing several of them.
Troops were summoned to the assistance
of the police, but they were unable to dis-
lodge the 'bandit. Finally several quick-
firing field pieces were brought up and
trained on the house. Eight shells hit the
building, which was demolished, after
which the infantry stormed the ruins and
found Lis desperately wounded, trying to
reload his revolver, which he had emptied
at the attacking party.
