PENSION BUREAU REFORMS.
Applications of Claimants without At
torneys to Be Expedited.


WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. 1-Secretary
Noble is taking active measures to expe-
dite the adjudication of claims in the PEN
sion bureau, particular attention being
given to those cases which are not repre-
sented by attorneys, and to cases which
for some reason have been in the bureau
for long time. In this matter the secre-
tary is receiving the earnest cooperation
and assistance of Commissioner Raum,
and examination of the records of the
pension bureau discloses the fact that
there are only about 1900 cases
on file which are not represented
by attorneys. These will be taken up by
board appointed for the purpose, and will
proceed TO l.nal determination. This
board is required to use every care that
could be taken by an attorney, and to
fully consider and give just weight to
every favorable fact disclosed in the record
of these cases.
In other words. full and complete Justice
is to be done in every instance, and tech
nlcalities IN the construction or presenta-
ton of these cases are not to be taken ad-
vantage of. Claimants are to be assisted
and not hindered. These reforms have
already been started in their course, and it
is expected that they will result in good to
all concerned

snow Fort Battle.

snow Fort Battle.
NORTHAMPTON. Mass. Feb. Especial. |
"A SNOWFALL and snow fort hight between
the sophomores and freshmen of Smith
college, an institution Tor young ladies,
reached a hilarious climax yesterday, when
sturdy freshman seized Miss Edith Beat
tEe and sltng her over the rampant of the
snowy fort among the besieged. The bat
tic has been the great event OF the week
and the girls have been reading stories of
similar contest at Princeton in prepara-
ton for 1t. The campus was the
site of the fort The sopho-
mores piled into it and planted their
banner OF old gold on its outer walls The
sophs and freshmen were In their gymna-
sium costumes free and easy, with plenty
OF sweep for action, and each girl wearing
her class colors. Inside tho fort was Cap
tain Wilcox, the president of her class,
with a SNOWFALL tightly clinchad in her
hand, gazing dehantiy at her Zoe. First
Lieutenant Putnam was at her shoulder.
The freshmen, under Captain Gain and
several remarkably agile and comely lieu
tenants, outnumbered the sophomores con-
siderably.
\ hshhorn sounded The assault, and
bang went the SNOWFALL Of Miss Wilcox
and "bang" went the snowhalis of Miss
Gain's Louaves. Captain Wilooxs shot
shlt a daring freshman on the right ear,
and cheer went up from the form. The
freshmen met perfect volley of grape
shot: They rushed back. and then began
hand-to-hand encounter. Cascades OF
snow came tumbling down, and one war
rior's eye had a dismal hue. There was
some tackling that would have done credit
to football
When the fishhorn sounded the, signal
for cessation of hostilities. the sophs held
the fort, with their golden banner still
floating. The sophs did not stop with
cheers. They put Miss Wilcox on their
shoulders and the gay crowd trooped into
the gymnasium, where the victors treated
the defeated TO lemonade.

deal to thank him for.

STEWART ATTACKS HARRISON.
The President Sent Window to Make
Speech, knowing He Was Unwell.

NEW YORK, Feb. Especial. The Sun
today contains brief interview with Sem
ator Stewart, in which very pointed Ian
guage is used, brought out, the Snn says,
by the senator's profound antipathy to the
president and his silver policy. Mr.. Stew
art said:
think the president will undoubtedly appoint
some godbug TO I'LL the place made vacant by
the death OF Secretary Window, but hope that,
whoever is appointed, Harrison win not kill him
BY forcing him TO make speeches against free
coinage. ] am confident that Mr.. Window
death was due to the fact that he spoke at the
Board OF Trade dinner in New York. He ap-
peared there at the urgent request OF the presi-
cent, who knew that Mr.. Window was suffering
from heart disease The president was aware
that the occasion would be great opportunity
TO present the views of the administration, and
that no one could give them as much force and
effect as his secretary of the treasury. Mr.
Window was full blooded man, and the trouble
with his heart was, OF course, aggravated by any
unusual exertion. do hope the president viii
not kill his successor by making him uphold the
views of the administration IN an unofficial way.

OF state IS about to assemble to discuss the
application of military law to the civilian

board the transport India.
1t has transpired that the insurgents
counted upon simultaneous risings at
Coimbra, Braga and Wien, and were only
waiting for the departure of the troops 10

dissension revealed at the recent republi.

stated that the Eighteenth regiment will
be transferred to Braga, and that the Ninth
chasseurs and Tenth infantry, which were
concerned in the revolt, will be disbandcd.

The front of the town hall, and several
buildings in other streets where the con-
fiicts took place yesterday, are much
damaged and battered. The kings
portrait, which hung in the town hall, was
destroyed by the rebel soldiers, who made
the building their stronghold. Several Of
the soldiers who were wounded in the con-
fiict died today. Most of the insurgents
have surrendered, and they were conveyed
aboard man-of-war. 1t is estimated that
4,000 shots from rifles and machine guns
were fired during the fighting. Several
more insurgents submitted to the au4
thorities.
The police have arrested an actornamed
Verdial, who read the insurgents procla-
nation of Portuguese republic from the
