RETENTIoN-A POSSIBLE COMPROMISE.
Secretary Noble has requested the resigna-
ton of Samuel B. Hersey, the assistant chief OF
the western division, and of VIM. p. Davis. the
assistant chief of the middle division, pension
Office. The pensions of both of these officials
were rerated during Corporal Tanners admin
istration. Mr.. Davis received three reratings
from December l3. 1887, to June IL, 1889. His
pension was increased from Sl2 so to SIS. so per
month. and he received arrearages amounting
to S1,79S. The pension of Mr.. Hersey was in
creased fir ON SIC to $50 per month.
FIVE so FAR REQUESTED TO RESIGN.
In carrying out the policy announced OF re-
moving from the government service those
pension Office employees whose pensions have
been rerated in what is regarded as an irregu-
lar and unjust way, Secretary Noble has thus
far called for the resignation of i've rerated
employees. In no instance has this re.
quest been complied with and it il
said that no of the remaining
twenty-seven employees whose names
appear IN the report of the commission in
tends to resign. They maintain that a resig.
nation implies one of two things. either that q
person wishes to leave the government service
or else that he is conscious of some wrong
doing on his part. The rerated employees
claim that this is not their situation, and they
not only have no intention of resigning, but
they intend
TO MAKE FIGHT FOR RETENTION.
In the case of one of the officials whose resig-
nation has been called for his claim for reten-
ton is backed up by q member of the cabinet.
Another official has presented petition signed
by 200 Union soldiers asking that he be not
dismissed. In addition, the officials themselves
and their friends visit the Secretary of the In
terror and the commissioner of pensions and
present arguments against the carrying into
execution of the proposed policy in the
rerated cases. It seems highly probable that
this rnarshaling of influence will have an effect.
but exactly how many can be saved and how
far a stay OF proceedings can be enforced is a
question of great interest just now. 1t is said
that in the cases of men holding important po-
sitions in the pension Office and against whom
no serious personal charge can be brought in
connection with the rerating scandal it is
probable q compromise will be reached which
viii retain them in the government service on
the condition that they submit to a reduction
to the clerical ranks.

Brazil and the Pan American Congress.
There is no new information to be obtained
from the State department regarding the Bra
lillian situation. The delegates to the Pan
American congress from that country have, at
the request Of Secretary Blaine, been continued
in service by means of new credentials from the
republic. Their brethren of the international
maritime conference, however, have heard
nothing whatever to their status
and have not yet resumed their seats in
the conference. 1t is understood that
the real reason why these delegates were sent

was that they were in command of two of the
most powerful vessels of the Brazilian fleet,
and practically, by their presence in the harbor
of Rio Janerio, held the republican plotters in

friends of the ex-emperor and have strong
monarchistic views As soon as they were sent
out of the country the insurgents were
emboldened to act 1t is believed that if Mr.

the delegates the new government would have
