PENSION SHARKS.
How They Fatten Mt the Expense OF thu
Old Soldiers.

Old Soldiers. I'D.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6-Secretary No.
BILE has been paying considerable atten-
ton lately to the subject of attorneys
fees in pension cases and is formulating
plan by which claimants for pensions
who are not represented by attorneys
may be placed upon the same footing
as those who are. 1t is proposed to Or
ganize force within the Pension Bu-
reau, at the head OF which will be
placed thoroughly competent pension
lawyer whose business it will be to look
after the interests of these unrepre-
scented claimants .
In speaking of the question Of attor-
ney fees, Secretary Noble expressed
himself with some warmth. Think Of
it." said he, the Pens on Bureau is
now issuing between $4,000 and Is, 600
certificates a week. What does this
mean to attorneys? 1t means that they
are receiving every week as fees cut of
moneys appropriated by Congress to re-
lieve the necessities Of our old soldiers
between $3.50, 600 and S375,OO0. Under
the old laws an attorney could charge
and collect a fee of SIS on every case
brought to successful issue, and in
the cases now being allowed, even at
the new fee of $40 per case, the attor-
neys would realize $50, 600 week.
IL look over the lists of attorneys"
continued the Secretary, land l find
that very many of them are men who
upon their knowledge of the law could
not build up even petty practice be-
fore county justice of the peace, but
here in Washington they manage in
few years to accumulate $1,000, 600 or
more acting as so-called attorneys for
pension claimants. And then it would
be some comfort if they would leave the
old soldiers with one fee, but some of
them work them as saw people work
cotton seed in my trip to the South this
fall They gin them in for an original
pension and then gin them over for an
increase, and this process of ginning is
kept up so long as any thing remains. /
am becoming thoroughly convinced that
something should be done, and that
soon, too, to relieve the old sold ers of
this grievously heavy burden. When ]
think of my old comrades in the war
being obliged to contribute to the
maintenance of these people 1 can
hardly restrain my indignation, and be-
fore long hope to be able to mature
plan by which some of them at least
may have their claims looked after
without having to pay over the first
fruits to pension agents"

MINERS MISTAKE.

The Error the Minister Committed in Sur
Officers.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6-The President
has sent to the Senate the nomination
of Romaldo Pacheco. of California, to be
Minister to Central America
The President also transmitted to the
House of Representatives the CORE
spondence growing out OF the killing of
General Barrundia by Guatemalan off,
GERS on board the Pacific steamer Aca-
pulco in the port of San Jose. The cor
respondence was called for by the reso-
luton of September "a last
Under date of September %, in let
ter from Minister Miner to Mr. Blaine,
which was received October 0, in which
the Minister justified his course which
led up to the killing of Barrundia, he
said he called on the Minister of For
eign Relations for an explanation of the
affair In this interview the Minister
stated with emphasis that his Govern
ment had given positive orders to take
Barrundia from the Acapulco Company,
even to sinking the ship, notwithstand-
ing it might have involved a conflict
with the United States two war vessels.
This, he said, would have been in the
exercise of the undoubted right of his
Government over its own waters,
in which he was confident the laws of
nations would have sustained him. Mr..
Miner said he had never heard of these
orders before. He then gives the de-
cision of Secretary Bayard on the Gomez
Mexican case in support Of his action
and concluded: 81 confidently add that
nothing will tend so much to the estab-
lishment Of permanent peace in this
Republic as plain declaration that our
fleet of steamers can not be used in
local waters as an asylum for revolu-
tionists."
The correspondence closed with let
ter from Secretary Blaine to Mr.. Miz-
ner, dated November Is in which he
reviewed the case at length in all its
bearings and said that 1.-The more the
question is examined in the light of i'm
portant facts tardily disclosed the Deep
er becomes the regret that you so far ex-
ceeded your legitimate authority as to
sign the paper which, in the hands of
the officers of Guatemala, became their
warrant for the capture Of General Bar
rundia"
The Secretary commended that the
claim that the Government Of Guate-
mala had the right to arrest Barrundia
under it's contract with the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company was untenable and
attacked each of the specified remarks
of Guatemala upon the presentations
of the United States in this case as i'm
proper and illegal. The case of Gomez,
which Minister Miner offered as an ex-
cuse for his conduct, the Secretary dis
cussed at length and failed to find in it
any support of Miners action. ...
Secretary Blaine closes by informing.
Minister Miner that his course is dis
approved and his act disavowed by the
President; that his usefulness in Cen
trail America as representative of the
United States is at an end, and direct
ing him to turn over his Office to Mr..
Kimberly and return home.

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. John N Ives,
ey-Gencral-elect says that the
action of the State Board of Canvassers
in declaring Rood, Republican. elected
to the Legislature from Marion County
over Maxwell, Peoples party, by lot to
settle tie vote, does not finally dispose
of the case. THE Board of Canvassers,
said he, lis not authorized 10 gam BILE
any man into Office. The Constitution
plainly says that the candidate receiv-
ing the most votes shall be declared
elected 1t makes no provision for the
emergency of tie vote, except in the
case of Governor and Lieutenant
Governor, when it delegates author
ity to the Legislature to elect these
officers. As the Legislature has no au-
thority to elects Representative in case
of a tie of two or more candidates, it
has no right to delegate that authority
to the Board of Canvassers. think that
it is clear that as the people of Marion
County have made no choice of men,
Der of the Legislature, that the Office is
vacant and the certificate Of election is
sued to IIs. Rood is worthless, and that
it remains for the Legislature to declare
a vacancy and notify the Governor to
call special election OF course the
Legislature can recognize Mr.. Roofs
certificate of membership, as it has the
supreme right to decide who its members
shall be, but it would certainly have the
right to call the Marion County seat va
cant and ask that special election be
called TO fill the vacancy"
