PENSION APPEALS.
Annual Report of Assistant Sec
rotary Busy.
BOARD OF PENSION APPEALS.
The Chinese Treaty Sill in Force-Report Of
the Commsndant of Mariues-General
Washington Items

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The annual re-
port of Assistant Secretary of the Interior
Bussey is very lengthy. 1t deals exclus-
lively with the work OF the board of pension
appeals and with the purchase of Indian
supplies at the government warehouse in
New York. The report shows that on
July /, 1891. there were 5000 appealed pen
sion cases on file with the board and on
June 80, 1892, they had been reduced 10
4 349. There were 4, 25S appeals filed dur
ing the year. OF 4, 939 cases acted upon
during the year the decision OF the commits
sioner was susutained in 1866, notion was
reversed in 464 cases; POI dismissed and
400 cases reconsidered by the commissioner
pending appeal. In discussion of the
pension laws Bussey calls attention to
several defects in pension legislation and
makes numerous suggestions for amend
ments. On June 80, 1892 there were borne
on the pension rolls the names of $685. 097
pensioners, 179,92S mora pensioners than
were carried on the same rolls at the end
of the preceding fiscal year. and 457, $50
more than were on the rolls June 3D. 1887.
General BusSey calls attention TO the
fact that the appropriation bill for Indian
services is usually passed so late in the
year that II seems impossible to let con-
tracts for supplies in time for delivery
before winter sets in and this, especially 90
blankets and winter clothing, has caused
much suffering. He recommends that the
appropriation for these supplies be made
one year ahead.

He ADMITS His Guilt and Is Sentenced
to One Year in the Pen.

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-William @. Lincoln,
ex member of the board of trade, wno is a
juror in a special assessment suit for build
ing large sewer to cost nearly one million
dollars. was charged in open court this
morning with attempting to secure brides
from both property owners and the city.
The matter caused sensation
Attorney Walker stated to the court that
he had reliable information that some
sewer contractors who had promise of a
contri CT had succeeded in getting four men
on the jury. Attorney kellogg SAID IN rid :
Ing down the elevator with Juror Edward
Wood, the latter said: ''You attorneys
are getting big money out of this
case aud we jurors are getting
only 81 per day." The court ordered
the members of the jury before him one oy

II. Andrews, juror, admitted that he had
tried to raise money and says that Juror
VanAllen had also VanAllen denied the
truth OF the statement.
Lincoln was sentenced to one year i'm
prlscnment in the county Jail for contempt
of court. The jurors contempt lay in the
fact that he made no less than half dozen
attempts TO obtain brides from the attor-
neys on both sides of the case. The court
also discharged the remainder OF the Jury
from further duty. Lincoln admitted hav-
ing tried 10 obtain briDe of money, but
said ne had no suspicion Of doing anythin g

gram containing information that in the
course of correspondence between the
British and Chinese governments tins latter
maintained that the treaty of 1880, between
China and the United States, was broken
by the passage of the Chinese exclusion
act Inquiry at the department Of state to-
day shows that as far "a can be learned
there has been no correspondence with the
Chinese government since that of Minister
Blair rejection that contained any refer
ence TO the treaty, and the only slusion to
the subject embodied in the correspondence
is a complaint that by the passage OF the
exclusion act the United States had vio-
lated one of the treaty provisions.
OF course t-e recognized latitude allowed
diplomatists in their arsument of cases
makes it unnecessary to regard such a state

OF the aDrogation OF treaty, and so far as
known at the department of state the Chi

LONDON, Nov. 23.-Lord Roseberry.
British foreign minister, mas sent note to
Pekin complaining that Chinese officials
have violated treaty rights by forbidding
British vessels to carry grain duty free
from Shanghai to Ten Tsin ana permitting

The British right lie held under the treaty

however, insists upon the witherawal of
the prohibition, maintaining that the
