PENSIONS.
A New Order Issued by Commissioner
Lochren.

A New order Issued by Commissioners
Lochren.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Com-
missioner Lochren yesterday issued
the following important order simpli-
flying the practice of the bureau in
the adiudicatior of claims under the
famous act Of June 27, 1890:
Pension certificates issued under
the second section of the act of June
27, 1890, will no longer specify par
ticular disabilities. In such certii-
Gates, where the maximum rating OF
$l2 per month is allowed, the GER
tihcate will state that it is for inabil-
ity to earn support by manual
labor. Where less than the maxi
mum rating is allowed the certificate
will state that it is for partial ina
bility to earn a living by manual
labor
Whenever, in case Of a pension
granted under said section at less
than the maximum rating, higher
rating is subsequently sought, the
application for such higher rating
shall be considered and treated as a
claim for increase, and not as a
claim because Of a new disability,
and the increase, if allowed, will
commence from che date of the
medical examination showing the in
creased disability"

GETTING READY FOR WORK.
CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS AR
RlVING AT WASHINGTON PREPAR-
ATORY TO THE MEETING
OF CONGRESS.
THE COURSE OF LEGISLATION
The Tariff aud Other Important Bills Like
ly to be Taken Up Early in
the Session.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 25.-
Senators and members of con-
gress have begun to return, and are
to be found around the hotels, in
the Capitol and at the departments.
A number of members are making
arrangements for the winter, and
are settling their families in the va
rious hotels and resi-
dances. There is great
deal Of interest manifested
among congressman about the tariff,
and other matters of legislation are
frequently discussed. There is a
general impression that little will be
done before the holidays, although
the wheels Of legislation will be 60
ing round all the time. There are
several matters pending in both
houses which can oc-
cupy the time even
If the tariff bill does not come up in
the house at once. The bills which
the house passed and sent to the
senate during the silver debate can
be considered in that body while the
tariff till occupies the house. There
are a number Of members of con-
gress who would very much
like to have the Hawaiian matter
come up in congress very
early and there are others who pre-
fer that it should be handled by the
state department anG not brought
before congress. 1t is expected
that some resolutions of inquiry
upon this subject will be introduced,
but they can be easily 2eld in COM
mittee until the administration Is
ready to send in such commGnica-
tions as it seems advisable. There
is the usual hope expressed among
arriving members that there may be
a short session and that important
business will transacted at once.

ROYAL SUICIDE.
He WAS A LiNEAL DEFENDANT or
ALFRED THE GREAT.
CLEARLY PROVEN.
He Preferred Death to Disgrace or Rather
Than Accept Aeniai Em-
pioyment.

SAN Francisco, CAL, Nov. 27 -
Strange developments followed the
fact that an old man known as Au-
gustus M Serbia suicided in poor
lodgings here Friday night by NOR
phine. He was in needy circum-
stances and respondent. Among
his effects was found letter in
which the deceased declared he was
lineal descendant of Alfred the
Great and Edmond Ironside, of
Charlemange and Otto the Great,
Of Malcolm Canemare and st. Mar
garet. But little attention is paid
to the letter. Further investigation
among Scriba's effects re-
vealed record of lineage,
elegantly printed and bound,
running over 300 years and undoubt-
edly establishing the old man s
claims.
Other papers found prove Serbia
to be we'll known in New York,
where he has a son practicing law,
and that he came here from Port
land, Ora, where he, In 1892, was
vice president Of the National
Guarantee and Trust Company and
connected with John r. Foster. 1t
was further discovered that Serbia
was examiner of national banks in
New York in 1886.
A letter from John Agnew to
Abram s. Hewitt, ex-mayor of New
York, requested Serbia TO be retained
in his position on account of
his efficiency. II is pre-
sumed that Serbia came from
Portland to this city in search of
employment. He had always
been man of position. He objected
to taking a menial situation,
rather preferring death. Two
trunks and valise were found
in a room carefully addressed to
Mrs. Mary A. Garrigan, Mcntrose-
on-the- Hudson, N. Y. He also re-
quested Mrs. Anna HI Platt, Of
1909 0 street, N. w, Washington,
d. c., to be notified Of his death.

ii led shall continue to be that fixed

THE TARIFF BILL.
1T is GIVEN OUT THIS MORNING AND
SURPRISES MANY.
FREE LIST.
The Bounty ON Sugar Repealed Re
ciprocny win be srergt' enea.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 81
The new Democratic tariff bill is
given out TO the public and its pro-
visions fulfill every expectation of
those who predicted it would be a
radical measure Of reform. In many
respects it is a surprise even to
the Democratic member of congress,
as it is Unprecedented in many of
its provisions. The free list is
Of that liberal scope sufficient to
satisfy the most radical advocates of
reform and Reputation. The prin-
ciple of reciprocity, which has been
the pride of Republicans and the
bete no1 Of Democrats number of
years, is decisive AID emphatic
Thus the tariff bill in addition to the
reforms it makes in the custom laws
will necessitate an immediate re-
adjustment of treaties with those
South American countries which en-
Joy practical or theoretical reciprocity
with the great American republic of
the Northern hemisphere.
The bounty on sugar, which was
to be SO promptly repealed, will, in
stead, be repealed by easy gradua-
ticns, and not reach a conclusive
effect until after the end of the
present century.

The Leading Lady In cold Kentucky"
Takes Big Dose of Choral.
New YORK, Nov. "a. While the
audience in the Academy of Music
waited until nearly quarter of 9
o'clock last night for the curtain to
be rung up on the first act of "In
Old Kentucky" Miss Bettina Girard,
who plays the leading woman's part
in the piece, laid at almost death
door in her room at the Gedney
House from an overdose of chloral.
During this wait at the
theatre Miss Laura Burt
was hurriedly dressing to replace
Miss Girard, who, according to a
rumor which quickly spread to the
uptown theatrical resorts, attempted
to commit suicide. The actress
herself subsequently admitted having
taken the drug, but while she
did not say she intended to end
her life she expressed regret that
a doctor had been sent for, giving
as a cause her WEAKNESS of this
world. Her latest matrimonial ven
ture was with Actor Harrison j.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25 -Presi-
dent Cleveland is hard at work on
his message. He spent the whole
day in one Of the private bedrooms
on the second floor at work upon the
document. He refuses to see any
one except members Of his cabinet.
He will have a number of docu-
ments to submit for congressional
inspection besides his main com.
munication. There is, for instance,
vast deal of correspondence and
statistics relating to the Hawaiian
embroglio, which the president has
to go over before sending to the
Capitol. There is a number
of appointments which he
expects to make inn
mediately upon the meeting Of the
senate.
The fact that at least three cabi-
net reports are not yet in his hands
tends to make the work more diff
cult. The whole administration is
busily engaged upon this docu
mentary re cord of its nine months
work. Secretary Carlisle returned
from New York yesterday about 4
o'clock, and went at once to the
White House to confer with the
