wAsHrNoToS, March 5.-The examina-
tion of Assistant Secretary Bussey of the
Interior Department was continued by
the special pension Office investigation
committee. Mr.. Enlee after eliciting the
information that there were number of
complaints from pensioners of delay in
the adjudication of their claims, asked il
an order had been issued practically TAX
ing the Office force from work under the
old laws and putting It 20 work on the
adjucation OF cases under the Dependent
and Disability Act OF 1890.
Mr.. Bussey denied that the entire force
was 80 employed but added that large
number of claims arising under the old
law iu which the evidence was insufficient
10 meet its requirements had been adju-
dicnted under the new law through an
order issued by himself TO the Commis-
sioDer.
Mr.. Enloe then examined Mr.. Bussey
with reference to the completed files"
order which, it was charged, had been is
sued at the request OF Pension Attorney
Lemon and gave Mr.. Lemon considerable
advantage in prosecuting claims.
Mr.. Bussey said he believed the order
facilitated the adjudication of claims.
Practical experience, Mr.. Bussey declared,
had demonstrated that under the COM
pIeted files order greater efficiency was
obtained than under the former method.
Mr.. Enloe asked what effect the order
had upon claimants who had no attor-
neys. Mr.. Bussey replied that the Secre-
tary had issued an order directing that in
all cases where claimants had no attor-
news they be notified of the evidence nee
essary TO have their claims put in the
completed files.
Mr.. Bussey did not believe the order
gave Washington attorneys an advantage
over country attorneys.
Chairman Weeeler asked il that order
did not go into effect Immediately, and il
in that way al advantage was not given
To local attorneys who knew OF II IN ad-
vance of the other persons.
Mr.. Bussey said he believed the order
was telegraphed all over the country the
day il was issued; but Mr.. Wheeler called
attention TO the fact that Commissioners
Raum had testified that IL was five weeks
before il became generally known.
Chairman Wheeler asked III witness had
heard of business transaction (the en-
dorsing OF a motel between Commissioner
Raum and Mr.. Lemon the day after the
order was issued.
Mr.. Bussey said he had no personal
knowledge OF il.
Mr.. Enloe then began n series OF in
quiries as to whether or not pension en-
ployes were afraid to testify for fear OF
removal; but nothing definite was elicit
ed.
Referring TO the Board of Pension APP
peals, which passes judgment finally on
complicated or troublesome cases, Mr..
Enloe asked il any persons practicing be-
fore that board were sons or relatives OF
the mem bers.
Mr.. Bussey said he did not know.

Some how, Saturday has come To be con-
sidered WatsOn's day in the free trip con-

ahead with jumb Some of his packages
of ballots came without explanatory let
ters, but here are two which tell their own
story:
WooNsocKET, r.. L., Feb. 20.
To the Editors Of the Ncios:
Please find enclosed 100 coupons all for +. j.
Watson. Yours respectfully,
An AMERICAN GIRL AND Boy.
With "An American Boy and Grip and
"An English Girl" both working in
Woonsocket for Mr. Watson, he will do
well in that quarter And here is the sec
ond letter, which the contest editor recog-
nizes as coming from one of the incest
ladies of Proyidences
10 the Editors Of the Netrs.
A stranger, pleased with T.. j. Watson's
straightforward letter of acceptance, sends "a
mite TO aid him, He has worked in localities
so widely separated and under such differing
conditions that his judgment must be well
matured. His letters would be more valuable
than il his experience were narrower.
As many ladies have interested themselves
in saving coupons, trust df successfully his
public letters will include items that would be
interesting To ladies; items concerning socie-
ties for the good of working girls; the work of
the W. c. Il. L., what good they are accom-
plishing in areformatorg way, or anything of
like nature that may fall under his ohserva-
ton. Respectfully, L. l.. III.
Providence, March ., lSs2.
The suggestion is a good one, and who
ever goes to Europe for the NEWS, will
doubtless heed il.
Nobody else seems to be doing much to-
dav, except Mr.. Barker and Mr.. Dawson
who works right along like clock or
steam engine, or anything else that goes
right along.
Well Another lot of votes for Mr..
Watson from Warren. This is Watson
day, TO be sure!

mission on the Behring Sea seal fisheries
held its final session at the State depart
ment yesterday afternoon. After signing
a joint report embodying a statement OF
facts as 10 all points connected with the
sealing industry on which there Is no dis

IL is understood that no agreement was
reached on the main question at issue, as
TO whether or not closed session and o
prohibitian of pelsgic sealing are ESSENTIAL
FOR the preservation OF the seal species.
1t is said that the representatives of the
United States advocated policy Of this
kind for a limited period and that the
representatives of Great Britain opposed
it, There will, therefore, be two separate
reports on this point
In the meantime the Treasury depart
ment is making the usual arrangement

The Former Is Rampant In Vienna While

LONDON, March 5.-An agent OF Reu-
ters telegram company, who is inquir-
ing into the distress in Vienna, paints a
terrible picture OF the destitution that
prevails in that city. There are many
houses, he says, whose splendid exteriors
give no suspicion OF their miserable in
teriors.
Cellars in such houses, he affirms, are
found crowded with starving persons who
are out of work and others who are earn
ing only a mere pittance.
Hundreds are unable to pay rent and
exist in daily fear OF eviction. But in
spite OF ali this misery there is total abb
sence of evidence OF vice among the sub
ferers.
During the past six months 10000 poor
persons have been relieved.
