about the construction Of the Nicaragua

and foreign commerce, immigration and
other interests of the United States by
means of the Nicaragua ship channel was
taken up. and Mr.. Morgan addressed the
Senate upon it.

Abolition Of Pension Agencies.

The abolition of the pension agencies
was the subject under discussion by the
House appropriations subcommittee on
pensions this morning. Secretary Charles
Foster was present and expressed the
opinion, in reply to questions by mem
bers of the committee, that the aboll-
ton of the agencies was entirely pr acti-
cable, and would cause no great hard
ship or inconvenience. The abolition OF
the agencies would save about S500,00O
now paid as salaries to pension agents
and their clerks, and for rent and other
incidental expenses of the agencies.
The committee will probably report to
the full committee of appropriations in
favor of the abolition.
All pensions would be paid by checks
from the pension Office here in Washing
ton, if the agencies were abolished. The
great majority of pensions, even in dis
tant sections of the country, are now paid
in this way, and only few, where the
pensioners prefer to call at the agency
for the cash, are paid at the local offices.
1t is feared by some that poor and ig-
norant pensioners might not be able to
get their checks cashed without suffering
| discount but the committee are inclined
to think there is no danger from this
source The pensioners as class have
a pretty intelligent idea of business meth
DDS, and a tradesman or banker who at
tempted to practise extortion upon them
would lose infinitely more than he would
make from the aroused indignation OF
