pensions-Gross Frauds.

WAsHIsGTos, Sept. 2si--The Ereaiag
Capitol says: The report of Messrs. Ewing,
Campbell and Bruce, the commission that
investigated the pension Office, though
closely guarded by the interior department
officials. is gradually becoming known. 1t
is known that II takes up each re-rating
case separately, and each case is exhibited
in itself. Stress is laid upon the fact that
Deputy Commissioner II. Smith. jr.. re-
ceived over 5000 as a re-rating. This
action of his comes in for severe criticism
in the report. Whether Smith bas re-
turned this 5000 or not, the report does
not state. Smith receives his pension at
the Topeka agency. Secretary Noble, in a
review of the report of commission, has
himself questioned Smith as to the facts at
tending the re-ratine.
The report also condemns Squires espe-
cially for his action in making cases special.
1t states that Squires possessed the stamp
OF Tanner as commissioner, and affixed it
TO papers without the commissioner
knowledge. A number OF such cases, and
large number is given and Commissioner
Tanner is criticized for his carelessness in
thus entrusting his official prerogative TO
mere private secretary, who violated the
confidence reposed in him.
The names OF pension Office officials who
caused themselves 10 be re-rated form
conspicuous part of the report. Several
were discharged at the time by Secretary
Noble, and they now point TO the fact that
the one who received the largest ui all,
Deputy Commissioner Smith. is still IN
Office. 4 member Of the board who made
the investigation intlmated TO reporter
that the chief culprits are still in Office. but
would soon follow Tanner into private life.
This evening Mr.. Tanner telegraphed
Private Dalzeli 10 know whether his letter
had been stolen or had reached the public
in some other manner. Speaking TO re-
porter for local paper regarding the re-
rating of Deputy Commissioner Smith, be
said all these re-rating cases came be-
fore him last May, and while mat
ter was under discussion there were
present in his Office. General Lew Wal
lace, General Barnum, OF New York. and a
dozen newspaper men. There was not, he
saws the slightest criticism as to the JUS
tice of re-rating these pensioners. That OF
the deputy commissioner was with the
others. and Tanner does not remember il
particularly. The commissioner declined
TO discuss his letter or the report OF the in
vestjgating committee, which Is not yet
made public.

WESTERN sCHooLHoUSEs.
Work Of Promoting Civilization Among
the Mormons.

CHICAGO, Sept. 26-The New West edu-
cation commission, the object OF which is
To promote Christian civilization in Utah
and adjacent states and territories, held its
annual meeting here today. The report of
General Secretary Bliss who spent severa
weeks in Utah this summer, holds that
the general policy now being
pursued by the commission could not
be radically changed without exposing To
great peril the influences and probably the
existence of the several academies insti-
tuted. which are becoming important.
They are admirably located and well man
aged, but an expenditure will be necessary
for new departments. for boarding houses
and additional accommodation
The common schools are serving an inn
portant purpose, but the introduction Of
public schools is so uncertain and probably
so distant that new schoolhouses should
be erected in several localities. The secre-
tary says the work is far more extensive
than the public or even the churches sup
pose.

OPPOSING FINAL PROOF.
ka iiroads DO Not Forfeit Rights by Al
sence from the Hearing.

WAsRISGroN. Sept. 26.-In the csae of the
Northern Pacific Railway Company VS..
Randolph, Secretary Noble today decided
that the falling TO appear 10 oppose final
proof proceedings on the part of pre-
emp;ion or other claimants by railroad
company does not forfeit any rights which
1t possesses. Ii simply cannot insist on
any further opportunity to contradict the
proofs submitted. as il has had its day in
court, but ii on those proofs themselves it
still appears on the face OF the whole record
that the company has prior or superior
right, Judgment must go accordingly.
This decision corrects widely prevalent
misapprehension as to the effect Of the
Forester and other cases. which were sup
posed to infiict forfeiture of rights upon
railroad companies who failed to appear at
hearings.
