an increase of pension. The claimant was
pensioned IN 1884 ut S4 per month for gun
shot wound of the back. Since then he has
filed numerous applications for an increase,
all of which We're rejected on the ground
that the claimant was then receiving the
full amount of pension to which ne was en-
titled under the law for the disability result
ing from the gunshot wound of the back In
the claimants organic declaration he alleges
that he was wounded in the small OF the
back, "and the bullet was never extracted,
and in u subsequent application he states
that "the ball struck the spinal column and
was inibedded in the Vertebra." In an ap-
plication I'll ed in 1887 he says:
ask of the pension department as speclal
favor to have my wound opened, and am under
the impression there will be no dltnculty III

The assistant secretary calls attention TO
the fact that it does not appear that any
heed was given to this request, which would,
at once, have determined fact-one which
is potential factor in rating his disability
and in case the ball was found to be lodged
where the claimant believes it is, it would
account for the real disability from which
the claimant suffers aud so entitle him to O
higher rating. In his several applications
the claimant speaks of important testimony
which he had from time to time sent TO his
attorney, but which does not appear in the
files of the Office. The assistant secretary
says:
The records do not show that the claimant
had been notified of the non-appearance Of this
evidence, and has, in his opinion, just cause fol
complaint OF iuattention. 1t would seem that

pain necessary to a surgical operation the gov

THE VOW OF WASHINGTON.
The sword was sheathed: in April's sun
Lay green the field by Freedom won;
And severed sections, weary of debates
Joined hands at last and were United States
o city sitting by the sea!
How proud the dav that dawned on thee,
When the new era, long desired, began,
And in its need the hour had found the mani
One thought the cannon salvos spoke;
The resonant bell-towers vibrant stroke,
The voiceful streets, the plaudit- echoing halls,
And PRAYER and hymn borne heavenward from
st. Pauls!
How felt the land in every part
The strong throb of nations heart,
As its great leader gave, with reverent awe,
His pledge to union, liberty and lawI
That pledge the heavens above him heard
That VOW the sleep of centuries stirred;
In world wide wonder listening peoples bent
Their gaze ON Freedoms great experiment.
Could it succeed? OF honor sold
And hopes deceived all history told.
Above the wrecks that strewed the mournful
past,
Was the lon dream of ages true at last?

Land Decisions.

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, May CA
decision by Assistant Secretary Chandler, of
the interior department., in the appeal of the
Security Mortgage Investment company rel
ative to the claim of Elmer Brodes, In Sully
county, S D., places a more liberal con-
struction on the six months residence
clause than the late talented Sparks would
give. Brodes was absent from his-ciaim
twlce-once for three weeks and once for
four weeks-to secure means of Lv-
ing, he stated in his affidavit The
commissioner held that this would
not do, but the secre tary overrules him and
Brodes' claim is made good The invest
ment company had mortgage on the farm.
A similar decision is reached in the case of
Cornelius Hagen of Grand Forks county, N
D. Hagen was absent only at brief periods
He worked for his brother and occasionally
took his meals and remained over night in
his brothers house. The claim was con-
tested under the Sparks rulings. but the pres
snt administration places more liberal con-
struction on the actual residence classes.
Secretary Noble to-day rendered an
important decision, giving con-
which he reverses the policy of the depart
ment that has prevailed for the past few
years and defines the policy which will gov
ern on this question in the future The ques-
GIOu Cam0 up On tue ClSkIu O1 JdmSS
! who bought q REIMBURSEMENT of timber
culture claim. The law was complied with
In all respects and the question involved was
whether the land was devoid of timber, so
that it could originally have been entered
under the timber culture law. 1t was shown
that there were q few small trees or bushes
on the claim. Heretofore the interior de-
partment was held that one or two trees en-
claim constituted timber in sufficient guam
titles to preclude an entrv under the timber
culture act Secretary Noble reverses this
rule. He says:
No arbitrary rule can be established for the
government of every case. It should be the de-
sire of the department to ascertain what the in
tent and purpose Of congress was in the passage
of the act, Clearly 1t was to encourage the arti-
| fetal growth of timber in prairie country. It
is within the experience of all mankind living in
prairie regions that in drains and ravines a few
| scattering trees are to be found, and it would
| not seem that congress intended to exclude
every tract Of that kind from the timber culture
act. 1t stands TO reason that 1t was not the pur-
| pose to deprive the occupants OF the vast prai-
| ries Of the West of the benefits OF the acts if
there happened to be q single tree upon the Sec
| tion. take it that the words prairie land, or
land devoid of timber" within the spirit OF the
| act, mean land practically SO.
Referring to two prior decisions on this
| subject, in which it was held that a few trees
upon tract defeated the entry under the
| timber culture law, Secretary Noble says that
| a fair construction of them would prevent an
entry of any prairie land that had timber of
| any character upon it, standing, fallen or
| otherwise.

MiSa Daisy Hnnnheh.

GUTHRIE, Ind. T., May 3.-A strong under
current of feeling was displayed here yesterday
over the plat of the city as laid off by the city
council It appears that in order to satisfy
the greed of certain settlers some of
the streets were made much arrower
than others and some of the blocks
almost twice as long as the others. A large
corps of surveyors have been working on tie
plat for some days. The marshal has begun to
clear the streets of such distractions as tents
and frame buildings AS consequences some
people have become suddenly aware that they
are living in the streets. Those that were forced
ceeded to jump other peoples lots.
No trouble occurred, and it is
safe to say that the good sense that
pervades the communitywill prevent anyserious
affray. Miss Nannita Daisy, the Oklahoma lady
boomer, was shot through The arm by Santa
Fe engineer named Stafford, who had jumped
her claim. Miss Daisy was making visit TO her
claim after filing on it. and was met by Stafford,
who fired three shots a. her. She Is not seri-
ously wounded. Stafford appears to have aban-
doned his engine before II o'clock Monday in
order to stake out the claim.

MALONE AT ROANOKE.
He Hsndles Senator Daniel without
Gloves.

Gen. Malone spoke to . large crowd ct
Roanoke, Va, yesterday for two hours, during
which he handled Senator Daniel without
gloves and challenged proof Of the latter's as
sertion that he (Mshone) had bought ct any
price, directly or indirectly, dollars worth
of the labor or supply claims Of the Atlantic,
Mississippi and Ohio railroad had swindled the
state out Of cents interest in it or had wrecked
1t by mismanagement The state had never held
q three million mortgage ON the line, and he
desired the Senator to produce the one he ~
serted was in existence. Every dollar Of the
labor and supply claims had been paid by the
Norfolk and Western. and that company, at his
instance, had paid the state half million Of dol
lars, which the court had declared to be an in
valid claim. The condition of the road bed,
depots, shops and rolling stock Of the road
when he assumed control Of it was well known,
as well a. the condition he left it in, which was
Q rsfutation OF the Senator's reckless asser-
tions. He was surprised to see such charge
coming from q man Of his prominence in state
and national affairs, and he ventilated it, not
that Malone needed q vindication, but because
VlrRinias Junior Senator needed correction.
Gen. Malone, Col. Craig and others also
spoke there at night to a large and enthusiastic
crowd.
The day meeting was largely attended by
farmers from Roanoke and the surrounding
country, and at night by mechanics and
laborers from the shops and furnaces. The
general spoke with much freedom and force,
and peals Of laughter followed his sharp thrusts
at his adversaries.

Grace Whitaker Testifies Against Elk
Priest John j. Boyle.

The trial OF ex-Priest John J. Boyle, at
Raleigh, NC, for assaulting his organist q
seventeen-year-old girl named Geneva
Whitaker, in May last, commenced yesterday.
There was great crowd in the court room, for
the case has excited intense interest in the COM
munity. A jury was secured in two hours,
composed entirely of white farmers of the in
telligent class. There are some twenty-five
witnesses, the principal ones being the alleged
victim Of the assault, her father and two girls
who were companions, and a colored boy, who
was Mr.. Boyles servant at the church. Mr..
Boyle will be an important witness in his own
defense.
Miss Whitaker was the first witness Her
examination and cross-eXamination lasted three
hours: She gives her age az seventeen years.
though she Is apparently not over fifteen years
old, undeveloped and very delicate. She said
that the priest sent her a message by his col
ored boy while she was in church. requesting
that she 60 to bis sitting room. She went.
When he first took liberties with her she re-
buked him, and he told her it was no ones
business If priest chose to love and to marry.
She struggled to get away and screamed az
loudly a. she could for help, whereupon he
threatened her with death. taking her by the
throat and saying he would shoot her in the
heart: he then urged her to marry him, prom
lsing her all the money she desired il she would
run away with him. She refused and there
upon he assaulted her with great brutality.
On . former occasion the priest had taken her
in his lap and when she left had kissed her on
the forehead, but that she thought it an honor
to be thus noticed by her priest, Of whom she
thought only as her spiritual adviser. Miss
Whitaker's evidence was completed at late
hour this evening. The trial will continue all
week. The line Of defense is kept we'll con-
cealed
Boyle had been leading very irregular life
for several weeks, to the great scandal Of his
congregation. He drank quite freely and his
behavior in other ways was not that Of priest
upon learning this, made threats that he would
kill certain members of his congregation who
he believed had reported him

Washington made in the first, Chicago / in

tied by Washington in the latter half. 1t re-
manned thus, 4 TO T. until the sixth, when Chi
cago made and another in the seventh. In
the eighth Chicago made and Washington 2,
the Senators squirting to the extent Of in the
ninth, which was not enough. The game was
well played. but Krock was wild, giving seven
men bases on balls, many Of which yielded runs.
Burns and Wise led the batting for their re-
.pectIve Sides the former making two singles
and . triple and the latter two singles and
