NASHINGToN CITY, Feb l3.-Several
pensi0n-ofce examiners before the bouse
committee on pensions, bounty and back
pay Thursday, were questioned respecting
the charge that an order was issued two or
three months before the elections in October
and November last to the effect that no
claims should be rejected until after the
campaign }. D. Farden testified that such
an order had been issued to him by the as
sistant chief OF his division, but that q reason
was assigned for the orler-it being that
the board of review was SO far behinl with
its work that rejected claims could not be
handled. Since the issuance Of that order
some tine in August last-he had not re-
ported any rejecdoas
Louis II srbaugh anI other examiners in
the bureau, test tiad that the order was issue!
Tor political purposes, and that it was so un-
derstood at the Office. They held that the
machinery Of the pension bureau was en-
ployed to advance the interests Of the Re-
publican party, without the knowledge Of
first assistant, anl then Acting Commissioner
Clark.
i. A. Broadus, a clerk in the pension
bureau, testified that OF Oct 9 last he took
the pension case Of u widow to Mr. Com
stock, chief Of the division, and said it
ought to be passed. There was a technical
defect in the case.

Proposed Subsidy for Ocean Steamship
Lines.


WASHINGTON CITY. Feb. IA clause
in the postoftice appropriation bill fer trans
porting United States mails in American
steamships between any port of the United
States and any foreign port, is creating con
siderable discussion both in and out of con
gressional circles, and it is thought when it
Is reached q lively debate will .ensua
in the house. It is proposed by the
clause t. allow $6O0,000 of the net
revenue of the postoffice department on
foreign mails to vessels Of American regis
try, at rate not to exceed 50 cents per mile
on the trip each way of actual nautical
miles Travelled between terminal ports for
each trip actually made Many members
say they will oppose the clause while there
are known to be many VINO favor it. Those
OF the former class view the proposition in
the light of subsidy to American
steamers, and a point of order Is likely to be
made against it by either Randall or Hol-
man. strong lobby is here, in the interest
OF ships OF American registry urging favor
able action ON the proposition This fact in
the minds o. many members of the house
tends to confirm the suspicion that the
clause virtually carries with it q subsidy for
American StaamprS
