PENSION APPEALS.



Hussey.
WASHINGTON, Nov. % The annual
report of Assistant Secretary Bussey, of
the interior department, which deals ex-
clusively with the work of the board Of
pension appeals, shows that on July /,
1891, there were 5000 appealed pension
cases on file with the board and that this
number on June 30, 1892 had been re-
duced to 4,349.
There wer, 1858 appeals filed during
the year. OF the A ,939 cases acted upon
during the year the decision of the COM
missioner WAS sustained in 1866 cases.
Action was reversed in AGA cases, 2Ol
were dismissed and 400 cases were re-
corded by the commissioner pending
appeal. Because of conflicting opinions
under different administrations, in re-
gard to the power to enforce the reirl-
bursement Of money paid in excess for
pensions, he says the government has
been compelled to submit to serious
losses. He has however, no recon-
mendation to make to remedy this de-
feet.

Small Stations.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 25.-The board
of railroad commissioners has handed
down decision in the complaint Of the
citizens of Formoss, Kan, against the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific rail
road, in which it is held that the rail-
road companies have q right to operate
through trains for the benefit Of long
distance travellers and can not be COM
PEELED to stop at small stations.
Numerous small towns in the state
along the trunk lines have complained
because the through trains from Kansas
City to Denver have refused to give
them train service and the complaint
at issue involved all the points com
planned Of. The board says: 1.-THE
point at issue simply involves the ques-
ton as to whether fast trains shall be
dispensed with and the interests of the
through travel subordinated to local
travel"

BALTIMORE AND OHIO EMPLOYEES.


Highor Wages
BALTIMORE, Nov. 25.-That there is a
concerted movement on foot among the
employees Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad company looking toward
higher wages for all classes of skilled
labor, becomes more apparent each day.
The telegraph operators, who were
partly successful in their demands, had
scarcely der arted Wednesday before the
Order Of Railway Conductors and the
Brotherhood of Trainmen tumbled in
with a request for increased wages.
They ask for rates similar to those paid
west of the Ohio river.
The principal reason assigned by the
company for paying larger wages in the
west WAS harder work. improvements
have equalized the work on the two
systems, and tho eastern men want an
equalization Of wages.
The conductors and trainmen, will,
through their grievance committees, be
in conference with the Baltimore and
Ohio people for some days before any,
thing like decision is expected.

est Bidder" produced at the Providence
Opera House last night was n f~avorite
mark for the applause of an audience who
appreciated a good play and acknowledged
a good actor. While Mr.. Sothern's name
is more Familiarity connected with Lord
Chumley," it was in 1.-The Highest Bid
der" that his talents were first appreciat-
ed. There is nothing at allIimprobable in
the story Of the play and ii is a subject
that has been dealt with for manv years,
but not often has il aroused the interest
that was manifested last night. The sup
porting company is all that could be
asked for. Virginia Harmed as Rose
Thornhill played her part with perfect
ease and grace, and, although the situa-
tions are often trying and need the most
delicate shading from the artist for a cor
rect Interpretation, she was in every way
able to the task. The Others of the COM
panv deserving ~ praise are Harry Eyt-
