The apples disappeared and did the newspapers but

PENSION OFFICE INVESTIGATION
FALsITY OF CHARGES AGAINST SEVERAL RE-
sPoNsIBLE employees ESTABLISHED.


sPoNsIBLE employees ESTABLISHED.
Washington, May 25.-A rumor has been current
here for days to the effect that certain employees
In the Pension ONCE occupying responsible places had
been In the habit of borrowing money from their fel
low-clerks and upon payment being demanded they
not only declined to pay the but threatened te
Importunae creditors with dismissal or reduction In
salary. 1t was known that man named Donohue nao
procured warrant for the arrest Of William H. BARKER
the chief Of the Record Division upon charge growing
out Of money transaction. The warrant, however
was never served Il was also stated that money
which had been collected in the division in aid OF the
widow OF clerk named Moore, who recently oloa
leaving his family In @ destitute condition, had not
been paid 10 the widow.
These and several other damaging stories have oeen
afoat through the Interior Department until this morn
Ing when Assistant Secretary Bussey, at the request
Of First Assistant Secretary Chandler, undertook an
investigation OF the whole matter. This investigation
was ended at noon Shortly afterward General Bussey
asked for statement to what his investigation
had developed. He said:

had been the hands OF Major Ripley and Mr. Landon

THE TRIBUNE A BADGE OF LOYALTY.

To the EditOr OF The Tri ibune.
Sir: AS an old reader of The Tribune have been
interested in reading the showers Of compliments
that have been rained upon it by individuals as well
AZ by the press. Yet TO my mind the greatest COM
pIment the paper ever received was paid it in Troy,
Bradford County, Penn, in 1861. This place was
made the rendezvous for recruits for the old Wlnont
District under the first call for troops a Obmpany
OF stawart farmers u think from Bradford County,
their hats was the title mead, "The New York Trb-
une,' which had been clipped from the weekly edi-
ton. II was not for its political significance,
but a synonym OF loyalty. -
