nois road stopped work this afternoon at
o'clock and returned to work at 7:2O. 1t
was not exactly strike. but 'misunder-
standing" President Carpenter, of the
road, issued demand for an answer to his
refusal to grant an increase in wages. and
insisted that the men must inform him by
o'clock this evening whether or not they
intended to remain with the road. Failure
to send in an answer meant discharge.
Before five, however, Vice Grand Master
Downey had conference with President
Carpenter, Mt which an agreement was
made that there should be r truce until
Wednesday next. Downey neglected to
notify tho men and when five O'clock came
they quit. When matters were explained
it was too late to get the day force back,
but the night crew went on duty at the
usual time. On other roads the situation
remains unchanged.

mits which were issued Feb u Inst to tho
Blackfoot Milling company and the Bitter

Gresham and that a message transmitting

would be on annexation lines. al
though radically different in its
terms from the Harrison treaty.

would leave no possible chance for sugar
syndlcates to reap any benefits. and which
will relieve the United States from anv
financial responsibility for the support of
the islands In other words, the attitude
OF this administration il not unfavorahle
to annexation. but 1t Ia opposed to the Har-

Fraudulent Claims-H How Many
Of Them and What Is the
Remedy?

| A fresh discovery has been made O
fraud upon the Treasury and malad
ministration in the Pension Bureau.
| The law allows pensions for disa
biities which render their subject,
wholly or in considerable degree inca.
pable of earning a livelihood by
manual labor. For certain Specific
disabilities" such as the loss of a hand
or foot, there is fixed rate of allow
ance. For less specific but equally
positive disability, such as chronic
rheumatism or the like, contracted
in service, the allowance is deter
mined by the rating given to the dis
ability, as total, or one-half or one
/ quarter, ETC., of total.
Commissioner Raum has invented,
or permitted some one else to invent
for his acceptance, still another kind
of disability called cumulative. !"
Without any authority of law he has
recognized this kind of disability and
granted pensions for it at the rate of
sc month, fixed upon by himself.
Cumulative" disability is disa-
bility made up of a number of aches
and pains-including, doubtless, "that
tired felling"-none of which would
entitle their victim to pension. BY
Jumping these together, perhaps
throwing in disposition to vote the
Republican ticket and to employ the
right pension attorney, Raum has
considered that pension cases are
made out, and under this wholly I'M
authorized ruling he has been literally
adding to the pension list.
Assistant Secretary Bussey, of the
Interior Department, has written to
Raum ordering the malpractice STOP
ped, and now Judge Wheeler Chair
man OF the committee which is inves-
ugating the Pension Office, is trying
t find out how many cases of this
kind have been allowed, and how
much of the Governments money is
being paid out annually upon these
illegal and fraudulent claims.
Thus every additional revelation
made of pension methods under this
Administration enforces anew the
necessity of devising some plan for
the searching revision Of the pension
lists for the purpose Of eliminating
fraud where fraud fills so large
place at so great cost to the tax
payers of the country.
Meantime Raum holds his place in
spite of all reproof and of the most
solemn condemnation by Congress.

THEY dared to do their duty, unpleas
ant as that duty was, and they hav,
5i,e appreciation of their fellow citizen
sor so doing. 1t seems thing almos
strange, that we should be found com
mcndiug men for doing their plail
duty. but for so long time have
.juries, in this county, been accustomed
TO name light punishment for hti louf
crimes, that the good people of the
couaty, had come 10 view with
alara our criminal record, and
10 fear for the consequences. The
4,eigH of mob violence that has dis
graced our fair name, was, but the
legitimate outgrowth of theSfailure of
the courts to infiict adequate punish
nent. Tie action of this jury has
given q black eye to crime in this
county The lawless will understand
from it, that notice is served on them,
that punishment dire aud awful will
follow in the wake of wrong
doing. This jury has done its duty
IL has washed its hands of any partici-
patton in Dowling's crime, and whilst
each nan who composed that panel
shrank from the responsibility, he
did not dare, for his oath's sake, to do

murders in this section more wauton

Is&ly takes human life, there should
