FRAUDULENT PENSIONS.
Commissioner Lochren Replies to a
Request Concerning Them.

Commissioner Lochren Replies to a
Request Concerning Them.
WAsHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Commissioner
of Pensions Lochren has addressed a let
ter to the editor OF the National Tribune
upon the subject of pensions. He says:
81 have not complied with your repeated
request that 1 should cause a test to be
made to show the number of fraudulent
pensions by having 900 cases drawn
from admitted files and examined. |
have not done this for several reasons
"First-Fraudulent cases, if any exist,
cannot be discovered in that way. Fraud
ulent pensions must ordinarily have
been obtained upon false or forced testi-
mony. On the face of the papers such
would probably appear to be well estab-
lished and incontestibIe.
''Second-No one whose opinion is en-
titled to consideration has, think, had
the hardihood TO claim that great mass
of adjudicated pension cases is permeated
with fraud, open and plain on the papers,
so that the examination of 1000 cases
would disclose an instance.
'"Third-The examination Of June y.
1890, of cases is not because of any fraud
on the part of claimants, but because it
was discovered that this bureau had. by
the adoption of an erroneous rule for ad-
judication, allowed many pensions not
authorized by law. All pensions granted
under former laws are presumed to have
been properly granted, and are not being
examined"
Commissioner Lochren, continuing,
said: under the Act of June q, 1880,
disability need not be of service origin.
but to the pensionable at all, the dis
ability must incapacitate the person from
manual labor, so as to render him unable
to support himself A Board of Revision
was constituted of the ablest and most
experienced men of the bureau to re-
examine these cases, and Gull out such as
had no legal basis to rest upon. This
board, including the Chief, are almost all
Republicans, and | have no fear to com
init the work of revision to this board.
They are able and fair men, and select
from day to day from cases examined
such cases as they may deem unlawfully
allowed. If that was the class of cases you
wished drawn and examined, the work
is done every day by this board"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. - Minister
Blounts long expected report on Ha-
waiian affairs is in possession of the Sec
retary of State. 1t arrived in an official
dispatch from San Francisco. Blount is
expected in Washington about August
50th to participate in a conference with
the President and Secretary Gresham
over the amended protocol of the treaty
submitted by the Provisional Govern
ment.
1t is said that Minister Blount's report
is long and comprehensive. The annexa-
ton plan is discussed in all its details.
The conclusion drawn is that the Ha-
waiians do not want annexation. Minis
lister Stevens act in raising the American
flag and landing marines is referred to at
length. The report puts that individual
in anything but an onviable light. The
idea of annexation is known to have been
the desire not of the people, who, accord
ing to the principles of this Government,
have the right to govern, but of the few.
The report will probably not be made
public till sent to Congress. When pub
lished, the popular feeling here in favor
of annexation will, it is believed, be al
layed.
The result of the report, so those who
have seen it say, will be, the Govern
ment will permit the Hawaiians to gov
ern themselves, and no other Govern
ment will be allowed to Interfere

Death of Familiar Character About
the Big Tracks.
New YORK, Aug. 13.-Henry Clay Dit
mas, a sporting man who died to-day, was
n familiar character about the big tracks.
he was the head of the Ditmas Company
and himself the official turf correspond
ent. He had contract with the Western
Union TO send descriptions of races, start
ers, jockeys, betting and track gossip to
his clients, proprietors of pooIrooms in
all parts of the country.
few years ago the racing associations
discovered that information was worth
money, and Ditmas agreed to pay ST, 500
a day for the privilege of reporting races
10 his customers. The immense tolls paid
enabled him to amass fortune of about
S250,000. He was heavy better.
His losses aggregated thousands this
season, until this week, when he won
$500 on Ormus, Tuesday. His hobby
was to become breeder. He had num-
Der of Shetland and Welsh ponies on his
farm. He also owned the thoroughbred
stallion Saxony and number of brood
mares.

Two Executed Who Wore Innocent of
the Crimes Charged.
LONDON, Aug. 3.-The question Of Turk
lsh outrages upon Armenian Christians
was again brought up in the House OF
Commons to-day.
Sir Edward Grey said what little in
formation tho Foreign Office had on the
subject was very painful. Fifty-six per-
sons had been arrested, seventeen con-
demned to death, and many others SEN
fenced to long terms of imprisonment.
subsequently the Sultan colnmuted the
death sentences of all but five. These
have been executed within the past two
or three days.
From the evidence given at the trials,
all Of which has been carefully investi-
gated by the British representative in
Turkey and the report thereon forwarded
to the Foreign Office, it was clear two OF
the men executed wero probably inno-
cent of the charges against them. The
British representative in Constantinople
used his influence to convince the Otto
man authorities that the trials were un-
1alr, but his efforts were in vain.

Card Regarding the Verdict From One

FRESNO, Aug. 3.-To-morrow the Re-
Republican will publish written state
ments from eleven Jurors in the Heath
case replying to the following card pub
lshed by brother of Harry Lane, the
only one of the jury who prevented
Heath from being convicted of the MUIR
der of New hirter:
while l am free to confess that have
a deep feeling in the punishment of
crime, to the extent that no guilty man
shall eacape, l desire, nevertheless, to Of
fer these remarks in regard to the Heath
case. and will say now that the dissenting
juryman, Henry Lane, is my brother,
and from his lips l state the following
items, in which he says that at no time he
agreed to vote other than not guilty: that
he maintained this stand from the begin
ming until the jury was discharged and
that he would vote the same were he put
back in the box again.
SIN addition to this he was told by al
most all the jurymen that he dare not
bang the jury; that in the event of his
doing so he would be riddled with buck
