NO HOPES OF a MILITARY TOURNA
MENT.
Unfavorabie Replies Have Been Received
to the Infantry's Invitation

unfavorable Replies Have Been Received
to the Infantry's Invitation.
Captain Bird, of the Roanoke Light
Infantry, has received several replies in
answer to the invitation sent out some
time ago to the State militia com panies
to participate in a competitive drill to
be held in this city, or in any place to
be agreed upon, but the answers give
no encouragement to tho carrying out
of the enterprise. Several of tho com
pany commanders stated that their men
would be unable to get away from their
work at the time suggested, and could
not afford, from a financial standpoint,
to enter into the competition. 1t is not
considered probable that the drill can
now be arranged.
Here is an opportunity, however, for
the infantry 10 win glory for themselves
If any of the other companies will not
respond:
We have the best drilled military company in
the Southwest II you don't believe It send
them challenge and they will clean you up in
twenty five minutes by Captain Millers tnrnip =
Pulaski Lance.
If THE TIMES is not mistaken an effort
was made some time ago TO arrange "a
competitive drill with the Pulaski com
pany, but for some reason it could not
he done. If they are now as ready to
defend their title as 1.-THE best drilled
company in the Southwest" as the
Lance would lead outsiders to infer,
then, possibly a competition between
the two companies might be arranged.

SEARCHING THE PENSION ROLLS.

Democrats Begin the Work of "Purging"
the L.sts of the Bureau
WASHINGTON, April 26-Tne acting Com
missioner of Pensions. NE. D.. /. Murphy.
has transferred about fifty clerks who have
heretofore been employed on what is known
as statistical work. but which. so far as he
can see, is of no value TO the Office, to cur
rent work. In order to facilitate the bring
ing up of the business to date. Mr.. Murphy
is decidedly of the opinion that among the
95S. 600 pensioners on the rolls of the bureau
there are many fraudulent cases. n with
a view to prrging the lists of such as can
be reached. he has issued an order TO spe-
cial examiners IN the field. directing them
cases as require the attention of the bureau.
The order Is. in print, as follows:
The examiners are instructed TO use extreme
tentiOn 10 disturb any just allowances OF PEN
sions. Nor Is 1t intended that special examiners
should be made parties to the petty quarrels
and spite work OF unfriendly neighbors. In adj
dition to making inquiry of those with whom
the special examiner comes in contact while Oh
gagged IN the examination or claims, IL Is be-
lieved that postnasters especially IN rural dis
ricts) may be relied upon TO furnish accurate
Information. In the larger towns and cities, in-
formation may be sought from the real veterans
or the war who believe that 1.-The pension roll
should lie a roll OF honor" members OF Council,
aldermen. assessors, and such other persons who
may he found TO possess information in their
various neighborhoOds. But all statements so
obtained should be corroborated before the mat
ter Is reported TO the bureau.
