PENSION EXAMINING BOARDS.

They Will Be Thoroughly Re-orsanized
at an Early Day.
WASHINGTON, June S.-The question of
re organizing the boards of pension ex-
amining surgeons throughout the coun-
try is just now under consideration by
Secretary Hoke Smith. Commissioner
Lochren and Deputy Commissioner Muir
each containing three members, and
their work is very impor-
tant factor in the administration
OF the pension laws and the adjudication
of claims. The officials OF the depart
ment state that careful examination has
revealed incompetency and gross care
lessness in the work of some of these
boards and IN some instances the evidence
indicates that improper influences have
been successfully applied to secure re-
ports in claims favorable to the appli-
cants. In view of these facts it has been
decided to give this branch of the service
general overhauling.
While no formal plan of reorganization
has been announced it is the stated pnr-
pose of Commissioner Lochren, with the
approval of the secretary, to appoint on
these boards only men who stand in the
very front rank OF the profession in their

well abreast of the times in medical
science. Another infiexible condition to
appointment will be that of unquestioned
integrity. The politics OF applicants will
not be made of first Importance, although
all other things being equal Democrats
will be given preference.
Officials in Speaking of the matter to-
day said that recommendations by men
of known character in the medical pro-
fession would be more efficacious in Sc
curing appointment on pension boards
than if made by politicians. Active work
OF reorganization will soon begin.

NEBRASKA BUILDING DEDICATED.

A Unique Programme, Wherein the Past
and Future Were Brought Together.
CHICAGO, June S.-A unique programme
was observed today in opening the Me-
braska state building. The past and
present were brought together face to
face. The tribes of Indians whose ances-
tors had hunted deer and buffalo Oh the
wide prairies of the state, rubbed elbows
with distinguished citizens of that COM
monwealth, and the utmost good feeling
prevailed. Governor Lorenzo Crounse
and staff came to the grounds in carriages
this morning and were met at the en-
trance by Honorable William f. Cody and
his outfit of cowboys, Indians, soldiers,
and Mexicans, representing Nebraska in
the early days, and escorted them to the
state building.
Incoming trains for the past few days
have been loaded with Nebraska people
and they were at the building to meet
Governor Crounse and escort. General
Joseph Garneau, president of the state
commission, formally turned the build
ing over to the governor, who dedicated
it to the public in a brief address. He
was followed by w. j. Bryan, men r OF
Congress, Ex-Governor r. w. Furnass
and others. At the conclusion of these
exercises Mrs. Caroline w. Brooks, the
''butter artist, moulded in butter the
official seal of the state, which will be put
on exhibition in the Nebraska dairy dis
| play in the agricultural building.

TELLER PROTESTS.

He Objects to q Statement OF the PreS1-
dent on the Extra Session.
DENVER, June 8.-Senator Teller, in a
lengthy letter which will appear in the
Rocky Mountain Ne,rs tomorrow, takes
strong ground against President Cleve-
lands statement to the Associated Press
that an extra session OF Congress is
necessary to repeal the Sherman
law. The senator says the use
OF silver as money is ques-
ton in which all working men and
all producers of every kind are especially
interested, it is fight for commercial
and financial independence for progress,
prosperity, freedom and happiness OF
ninety nine -hundredth's of the race,
and in importance overshadows and
dwarfs all questions presented for con-
sideration of mankind.
1t is not fight against the weaklings.
1t is fight against organized wealth,
against those who control by their
wealth the administration, press and in
some cases the pulpit, and the unthink-
ing and ignorant mass of men who would
sell their birthright for present mess OF
pottage.
Senator Teller holds that the existing
financial stringency does not arise from
the silver law in force, but rather from
the policy of the great monetary institu-
tions of the world towards systematic en-
hancement of the value of gold in
relation to all product points out, that
while it is the rage in England, Austria
and Netherlands, bi-metallists France is
serene and prosperous.

gated 10000.
Every Nation and Every People from the
Arctic Regions to the Equator Was
Represented in Vast Throngs and
Gave Her Royal Greeting.

CHICAGO, June S.-No woman was ever
honored with grander greeting or more
cordial welcome than that accorded Maria
Eulalie, infanta OF Spain, upon her ar
rival at the Worlds Columbian EXPOSE
ton. Today no less than 100, 900 people
were on the grounds, and this was a
mighty host of representatives of every
nation and every people from the arctic
regions to the equator, and all did hon.
age to the little woman from Spain, and
from the time of her arrival till she left
the white city this democratic member OF
SPANS royal house showed by her every
act that she fully appreciated the honors
showered upon her, and the grandeur
OF the sights she saw, the grand
eur OF the glistening white pal
aces, temples OF art and science,
stored with wonders. Human IN
genuiJy and the wondrous size of these
beautiful structures were such that from
the time the royal guest entered the
gates until she arrived at the adninistra-
ton building her face wore an express
sion of one lost in amazement.
The day was bright and beautiful, the
temperture just right to be out of doors
and the Worlds fair never looked SO
beautiful as when visited by Eulalia this
morning. That she was astonished and
delighted beyond measure by what she
saw, was fully evidenced in her demeanor
throughout, and the undisguised interest
she took in everything she saw. The
princess and party were driven to the fair
over beautiful boulevards, escorted by the
Chicago hussars. Entering the midway
piaisance, that medley of all nations, she
was received by barbarians of every cline
with the homage peculiar to them and
with an accompaniment of native music.
Entering the fair proper, she was driven
to the administration building, where
breakfast was served in room beauti-
fully decorated. Her pathway from the
carriage to the entrance was carpeted with
%, 900 pansies, strewn by little girls.
Breakfast over, she paid a visit to the
woman building, then drove among the
great buildings of the fair, returning
| later to the Palmer house.
Tonight fully 200, 900 people were at the
grounds, the attraction being dual-the
infanta and the magnificent electrical ano
pyrotechnical display.
The Norwegian exhibit in the manu-
facturers' building will be opened to-
morrow.

United States Protectorate Over
Hawaii Is Probable.

Honolulu Has a Genuine Dynamite
Bomb Scare.
An Attempt Made to Blow Up the Bar.
racks in Which the Professionally
Army Was Sleeping-Proof
of a Conspiracy.

HONOLULU, June mo one knows how
or why, but the fact remains that the an
nexation party in Hawaii have settled in
their own minds that the United States is
going to establish protectorate over the
islands. Annexation except as something
in the future is not now discussed. 1t is
reported that Minister Blount dropped a
hint that a protectorate is the proper
thing to look for. If the constant pro-
testation of the royalists is to be believed
they have no mention OF making any
move until after the decision of the
United States ia known.
So far Claus Spreckels has not gained
much by his efforts to embarrass the gov
eminent financially. The subject of re-
taliation is being discussed with talk OF
stopping the subsidy of 81 900 per month
now paid to Spreckels' Oceanic steamship
line.
Honolulu had genuine dynamite
scare last night. During a concert at the
Hawaiian hotel at which most of the peO-
pie of the town had assembled, police
officers saw three men acting in a sus-
picious manner near the ex-queen 5
residence on Washington place. When
ordered to halt two OF them drove oil in q
hack and the third ran away in the dark
ness. Near where the man on foot had
been, officers discovered three dynam tie
bombs and a small bottle Of illuminate OF
mercury.
A company of volunteers was called out
! Immediately who guarded the place and
barracks all night. 1t is thought by Off
GERS OF the provisional government that
the bombs were to have been used to blow
up the barracks in which the provisional
army was sleeping. President Dole states
that he thought the finding of the bombs
proof OF the reported conspiracy to restore
the Queen, as did also Attorney General
Smith, while the royaIists are indignant
at these assertions, the government has
been quietly organizing three more COM
panies OF volunteer soldiers. Although
no official news is yet made public it is
stated that the government has received
private letters from Washington assuring
them that protectorate will be declared
| by the United States.
Ex-Queen Liliuokalani is preparing a
lengthy statement to be given to Min
lister BIount. In it she recites the his
tory of her short reign, the causes lead
ing to her downfall and gives her views
as to the injustice of her treatment by the
provisional government.

LOUISVILLE, KY, June SIN view of
the recent statement that the Chinese
ambassador at Washington had assured
Secretary of State Gresham that the gov
eminent of the former would enter no
protest against the carrying out by the
latter of the provisions of the Geary
Chimes exclusion act, the following letter
from Tusi Kno Yen to Colonel Blanton
Duncan of this city, written last Monday
and received this morning, is of national,
not to say international, interest.

A Climax VIII Soon BE Reached in That
Country.
APIA, Samoa, May 24.-It May be
safely predicted now, that Samoan affairs
are approaching a climax Indeed. be-
fore this reaches the United States,
MaIietoa and Mataafa may have tried con-
illusions, and the all important question
as to which is the stronger party, may
have been forever decided. Lately, sew
eral important events have taken place,
and it now seems as if active hostilities
were on the very point OF being COM
menced.
A fortnight ago Mataafs addressed q
letter to King Malietoa in which he made
peaceful overtures, reminded his majesty
of bygone differences and suggested a
huge and general meeting of Samoans
should be held to choose monarch. He
suggested various villages as suitable
places to hold the proposed meeting, and
repeatedly appealed to the king not to be
angry with him.
Opinions differ as to the chances OF the
opposing parties, and under existing cir
cumstances it is simply impossible to OBJ
tain reliable information as to their rela-
tive numbers and comparative strength.
Feeling already runs pretty high and
there have been fights and assaults and all
sorts of doings.

A STRONG PKoIECroRArE.

Rumors Circulated That President CIeve-
land FavOrs It.
HONOLULU, June 1.-The latest rumor
here is that President Cleveland is in
favor of giving the provisional govern
ment a strong protectorate until such
time as the whites are in the majority.
Reviewing our mortality reports and COM
pairing them with custom house statistics
as to immigration the result shows that
the country is doomed for about ten years
to come.
In talk with the senior member OF
large firm, whose politics is anti annexa-
ton, on this subject today, he gave it RS
his opinion that while this is not the re-
suit desired by majority of the people,
it would at least rid the government of
two disagreeable features, the provisional
guards and the advisory board, combi-
nation that is in reality the head of the
government, while automatically it is the
tail. Up to date the soldiers have con-
trolIed the advisory board and the board
the executive. AS matter of fact, tbs
present ministry is quite satisfactory to
the general public, but hampered as it is
by a lot of men who know absolutely
nothing about conducting government,
except for spoils, the ministry is practi-
cally powerless.

1t Is said His Resignation Has Been Sent

1t Is SAID HIS Resignation has Been sent
to Washington.
HONOLULU, June minister Blount's
action in strolling unprotected through
the city is freely commented upon by
persons as being in strong contrast with
the way ex-Minister Stevens went about
guarded at all times by marine or two
from the Boston While Stevens may
have been in dread of an attack by the
Royalists, the impression seems to be
that his object in having the bodyguard
was more to show the authority he had
over the commander of the war vessels In
port. Minister Blount has as much to
fear from the Annexationists for his
action in shielding Nordhoff as Stevens
had from the Royalists for hauling down
their flag.
Mr.. Blount sent his resignation to
Washington by the Australia, and con-
siderable anxiety is felt by both factions
as to the political shade of his successor.
His resignation is the only cheerful event
in the Annexation party since Mr.
Blount's arrival, and they fervently hope
for minister who viii openly express
himself in favor of political union with
the United States.

and the necessity Tor action by the bishop
gradually disappeared.
The attack was probably brought on by
the excitement of the day, the cheering
and tumult in the convention which
nominated Mckinley and the remarkable
sight of the procession of school children,
which was miles in length.

Ohio southbound passenger which left
st. Louis at $3.50 was robbed by six men
at Forest Lawn, near east st. Louis, at

frightened but were not molested. ALI
money in the express car was taken but it
is not known how much. 1t is impossi-
bic to get further particulars at this hour
The following additional particulars
are learned: Six robbers broke open the
express car with hatchets and axes. The
messenger was badly beaten up before ne
would open the safe; ,000 cash was
secured. While two robbers were stow
ing away this money the other four were
exchanging shots with several passengers
who had opened fire on them. Neither
the robbers nor passengers were hurt.
For boldness and audacity the robbery
is almost unprecedented.
