DUE TO VETERANS OF WAS Placed In Treasury After It Wai Found Imposnlblo to Locate Proper Claimants Plnn !ovr la to Erect Unlldlns In the DUtrlct for In firm Members of Race. Through Senator Charles Curtis, of Kansas, a move is to be made in Con gress toward erecting in the District of Columbia a home for aged and Infirm colored people from a fund consisting of mones due the estates of deceased col ored soldiers, sailors, and marines A sum which is supposed to aggregate over $3X).000, representing pay, bounties, and prizes of colored persons in the serv ice of tho United States during the civil war., l'es in the United States Treasury, into which place it was covered by the commissioner of the rreedman's Bureau many jears ago, after it was found Im possible to locate the proper claimants or their descendants. It has been pro posed several times that the country could show no better appreciation of the cervices of tho colored soldiers and sail ors during the war than by utilizing this fund in the manner mentioned Straightening Out Tangle. Senator Curtis has recently interested himself deeply in finding a means of straightening out the tangle affecting thousands of colored persons by reason of the failure of the Frcedman's Savings and Trust Companj shortlj after the war. As an Institution of government sanction, the concern swallowed up the savings and the deposited bounties of colored soldiers and those of their fami lies and their friends Having intro duced a bill to repay to the estates of depositors a balance of 3S per cent of theii funds, amounting to over $1 200,000, Senator Curtis now proposes to proceed further w ith the cleaning up process and endeavor to make some disposition of the prize and bountj fund which the concern wr-cn it became the Frecdmen's Bureau, was allowed to handle, and which the bureau commissioner subsequently turned over to the Trcafaurj. Tho bill which he will draw up after a due investigation of the subject will be referred to the Committee on Appropria tions, of which Senator Curtis is a mem ber To this -ommittee it will be shown that beyond a doubt there Is a large sum of money in the United States Treasury which is properly due the de scendants of colored men who fought In the war There were 15 017 of these, individuals, manj of whom were never heard from after the war closed A great many, were dead and a large num ber wandered away entirely Ignorant of the existence of pay, bounties, and other moneys to their credit Partial headway was made in distributing theso moneys to the estates of the colored men, but proof flnallj became so difficult that, the commissioner of the Freedman's Bureau' covered what remained of the fund over $300,000 Into the Treasury. Tills was on the order of Congress. It there fore remains with Congress to take what action imyvbc needed If the money shall ever be made use of. Not Deterred 1 Pnilure. Senator Curtis, in tal.ing up the pro Jct of establishing a charitable institu tion in the District for aged and infirm colored people, will not be deterred by the fact that bills for this purpose have been Introduced heretofore and have failed In the second session of the Fifty-third Congress a bill for the erec tion of a heme was referred to the House Committee on Military Affairs and from there reported favorablj In its report the committee set forth its dis covery that through a Joint resolution passed by Congress in 1S6T, all moneys certified to be due colored soldiers and sailors were paid to the commissioners of the Treedman's Bureau for disposal to proper claimants "At that time" the committee reported "most of the colored people from the Southern States .vho would be entitle to this mon'j' had been slaves, had no individlual relationship as a rule, and where they had it was impossible to trace it The law governing the proper adjudication of these claims requires that the heirs of th deceased soldiers must prove their lawful marriage relation by record evidence, .ind that to be certified bv a notarv public of clerk of the court in the several States As no marriage record was ever kert of the slaves. It is impossible in a great many instances to compI with tho law by supplying proper proof linn; Claim the Money. Tho committee reported that all of the money had been claimed, and that in many instances as many as ten per sons from as many different States filed claims as tho lawful heirs of one de ceased boldler. that the inability to es tablish proofs had resulted In the re tention of over $200,000 of the money in tho Treasury. Calling attention to the fact that numerous requests had been made by colored people generally to apply the sum for the advancement and benefit of their raco, tho committee stated In Its report. "By taking this money for the purpose set out, it is only giving the colored peo ple tho benefit and use of the fund that rightfully belo-.f.s to them, and which, if rot appropriated for their use, or some ether, will Ho idle in the Treasury of the United States until home disposition is made of it. The fact should clearly be borne in mind that this fund would be paid to the heirs of the deceased colored soldiers If proper proof could bo made, but inasmuch as the requirements of the department cannot bo complied with and satisfactory regulations as to identifica tion of the claimants cannot now be made, unless some legislative action Is taken whereby tho money can be utilized for the benefit of these people. It will remain where It Is. and the raco of people who are entitled to every penny of It will bo deprived of what is Justly due them." Senator Curtis has been Importuned by many colored people who live in Kansas, and by many, others from all over the rountry, to renew efforts for the ex penditure of the fund In the manner men tioned.

The Senate has tried the 2 o'clock meeting' hour, which was the suggestion of Senator Bailey, of Texas, and apparently It does not like the innovation. At any rate, the Senate adjourned yester day to meet to-day at noon, the old hour of 'meeting, and It is the prediction of Senators that there will be few more. If any, sessions that begin as late as 2 o'clock. The fact that the Senate moved the time of meeting forward two hours seems to have had no effect so far as punctuality of Senators is concerned. Yesterday only thir teen of the ninety-one Senators were present when tho Chaplain opened the Senate with prayer. A motion for the meeting at noon to-day was made by Sena tor Borah, of Idaho. Even Sena tor Bailey showed no disposition to resist the motion, for he voted for It. Senator Heyburn voted against the proposed change, his being the only voice raised in protest. Senator Heyburn looked around In surprise when he dis covered that he was alone in his opposition. DETECTIVE AGENCY TO FACE CHARGES Grave Accusation Is Made Against .Rival by Perkins.

Whipple, had 'undermined her Intellect, was brought into the con tost of her will to-daj- by the testimony of Nicola Roberta, an Italian barber, who was a pupil of Mrs. Bull for j'ears at tho studio house in Cambridge, Mass. Roberts told of the stages of mental and phj'sical cultivation that the Raja Yogi or Hindoo philosophy required. Ho said that Mrs. Bull had finally reacheu tho Bhakai Yogi stage a stage In which all of the , believers were gods. "What Is the Bhakti stage?" asked Mr. Whip ple. "It is the attainment of supercon sclousnes3 through love," replied Roberts. "Did Mrs. Bull ever saj- anything about love or Bhakti In relation to personal duty?" "Yes." "Did Mrs. Bull give you a book on love?" "Yes: she gave me a book which she said was personal. She said that her life was mapped out In it. She told niu that the book would give me a knowledge of love." "Did she tell you about her first meet ing with Ole Bull and the circumstances connected with her marriage and of her life with hlro?" "Yes." "And you would rather not tell this in "public?" "I'd rather not." "What was the effect of the teaching on your "My health became poor. I looked at the world in an abnormal way and was Impracticable." Just before giving this testimony Roberta told how a student reached the supcrconsctous state, one of the highest stages of Raja Yogi. "Tho Kundallna (substance at base of spine) awakens. Tho power begins to ascend to the brain. It passes up the sussuma canal and overcomes the subtle elements of nature. If you can make the current pass through the canal Into the brain you have solved the problem of freeing- the mind from matter."

MJss Os good gave vent to a passionate outburst of denials, during which she said that American women were the best of wives and loved their homes. Miss Osgood denied that she hatl treated her husband as an emploj'e. Neither had she summoned him with a bell, as she would a servant, as had been alleged by the other sid Her husband had once admitted to her, she testified, that all he wanted was her monej'. If he got that he would depart and never return. He was an extraordinary man. Miss Osgood declared. He would treat her cruelly and then would write her charming love letters.
