Measures Being Taken to Expedite tIts
Work OF the Pension Bureau.
WAsHINGTON, Feb. 3. - Secretary
Noble is taking active measures to ex-
Pedite the adjudication of claims ia
the Pension Bureau, particularly those
cases which are not represented by at
tOrneys and cases which for one reason
or another have been pending in the
bureau for a long time
During the last year or so several of
the States by their respective Legisla-
lures have designated an officer to come
to Washington and make an examine

nation and disposition The Secretary
in this connection has given instructions
that these state officers be given every
necessary facility in their work and IL
necessary a small detail of clerks be
made to aid In the preparation OF the
claims in which they are especially in
terested. The Secretary heartily ap-
proves of this movement on the part OF
the States to look after the interests OF
their veterans
The Secretary has also directed that
the mem bers OF the examining force IN
the field be instructed to devote a share
of their attention to these long pending
claims whether they are represented by
attorneys or not If the evidence re-
quired can DC had by special exBmina-
ton and investigation in the field It

can not be procured that fact should be
ascertained and the case finally closed
Justice to all concerned requires that

An examination OF the records Of the
Pension Bureau disclOses the fact that
there are only about 10. 900 cases on file
which are not represented by attorneys

required TO exercise every care that
could be taken by an attorney and TO

THE BEHRlNa SEA DISPUTE.

The Supreme Court Decides to Take Up the
Question OF the Seizure of the sayygard.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S--Chief Justice
Fuller yesterday announced that the
Supreme Court had decided to grant the
petition of the counsel represc ting the
British Government for leave to file an
application for writ of prohibition to
prevent the District Court ofAlaslza from
proceeding to carry out its decree OF
forfeiture made in the case of the
schooner Sayward, 1ibelled for uniaw-
fully taking seals within the waters of
Behring sea
The court asked counsel at what date
the rule requiring the Alaska court to
come here and show cuuse why the
writ Of prohibition should not issue
should be made returnable.
The SolicitOr-GeneraI of the United
States was anxious to have it made re-
turnable at the earliest possible date,
as was Mr.. CaldrOn Carlisle, junior
counsel for the parties who brought the
case here. and by mutual agreement
the rule was made re turuable the sec
Ond Monday In April
This settles merely the preliminary
question Of the right to bring the case
into court and the matter now to be set
tied is whether or not the court win de-
eide that the writ of prohibition should

on the merits OF the Behring sea con-
/ trOversy.
In announcing the determination of

tory.
At the last meeting of the executive
committee it was ordered that a budget
be prepared showing the probable ex-
The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1891-02-06

penditures that would be required be-
fore the Exposition closes. The resolu-
ton calling for this budget was intro
duced after DirectOr-General Davis had
sent in statement that his department
must be organized at once. The esti-
mated expense of the smallest of these
departments was S12, 600 per annum.
With half dozen more departments to
organize and untold expenditures con-
temp1ated in other directions, the ex-
ecutive committee decided that it was
of primary Importance to get the fnan-
cial bearings of the Exposition. Each
of the departments was instructed to
prepare a budget estimating the
amount that would be necessary to
carry them through the Exposition and
past the time of closing up all the bust
ness of the Fair.
AS the resolution was only adopted
Wednesday the estimates were hastily
prepared and some of them may fall
short of the amounts that will be actu-
ally required. A few of them may ez-
coed the demands that will be made on
their departments. A lengthy confer
ence was held, at the conclusion of
which the Joint committee decided TO
recommend that nothing less than S15,-
900, 600 would meet the requirements of
the Exposition. A large part of this
must be available for use before a dol
lar is received at the gates.
This puts the directory in an avlz-
ward position. At the utmost but S1O,-
SOC, 900 will be at their disposal before
May 1, 1898. That estimate is based on
the superstition that every dollar of the
popular subscription of IS, 600, 600 will
bespaid In semi-confidentiaI converse
tions directors admit that fully 10 per
cent of the popular subscription will
not be paid. That estimate would leave
81, 92s, 600, in addition to So, 600, 600 to be
received from the sale of city bonds.
There is an apparent deficiency of
s., O72, 900 between the probable receipts
and the necessary expenditures. How
to provide for that deficiency is a prob
lem that must be solved by the direct
Ors. The situation is further compli-
Gated by the stubborn fact that no part
| of the revenue to be derived from the
| sale of city bonds can be used until
s., 900, 900 of the popular subscription
has been paid to Treasurer Zeeberger.

1t is said that a ferryman at New
York was rude to Vice President
Morton the other day. That gen.
tleman wanted to catch a ferryboat;
he arrived too late; the gate was
shut and the boat was moving off.
He demanded that the gate be
opened. The ferryman responded
not and the vice.prcsident, like
Lord Ullin, was left lamenting.
''COme back, come back he cried In grief.
Across the wet, salt water:
'YOu'vc left your own vice president,
Which same you hadn't Ouglter''
OF course this was very dreadful.
Mr.. Morton was indignant. Mr..
Morton's friends were indignant
But to plain, ordinary being who
is not dazzled by the awful great
ness of vice-presidents it seems that
the ferryman came pretty near
doing his duty. If plain John
Smith should arrive too late for the
ferryboat and should find the gate
shut and the boat moving away he
would receive scant sympathy
should he raise a hullabaloo.
Besides, this little episode has
given Mr.. Morton chance to get
his name before tho public in his
official capacity, so the bit of So
called rudeness was regular wind
fall of luck.
