PENSION OFFICE REFORMS.
Changes in Work Made by Acting Commits
sforer Murphy.

The acting commissioner of Pensions, Mr..
D. I. 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 value to the Office,
to current work in order to facilitate the bring
ing up OF the business 20 date. With a view to
purging the pension rolls Of any names placed
there through misrepresentation fraud.
he has issued circular letter to examiners in
the field urging them to use all possible
diligence in bringing to the attention
of the Office all such cases. He intends
to ask the Postmaster General
for authority to request postmasters in small
towns 10 furnish the Office with any authent-
Gated information that may come to their
knowledge of any fraudulent claims.
The order issued by Secretary Noble in 1892 de-
Ginning to give to members of Congress the status
of pension claims on call has been rescinded
hereafter such information will be given.
Il was found that as much time was consumed
in notifying members Of Congress that this in
formation could not be furnished as was re-
quired to furnish it.

The Naval Parade Seen From the Big
Flagship.
Special Dispatch from STAFF Correspondent
OK BOARD SQUADRON,
New YORK. April &c.
Nothing could possibly be more beautiful and
and inspiring than was the procession of ships
up North river this morning. Yesterday after
noon the international fleet cast anchor in
the narrows and was soon surrounded by
tugs manned by officers Of the naval reserve
who had volunteered their services as guard
feet for the review.
1t was perfect night, and was fitting close
to what was really most remarkable incident
in the history of the country, a naval parade.
From Hampton Roads to New York harbor
the score and half Of ships had
moved along in noble line. Something
came to anchor last night. During the night
there was considerable cloud in the sky and
there was every promise Of heavy and disagree
able weather today. During the night. how
ever, the clouds cleared away and when the sun
rose this morning the weather was perfect.
Philadelphia, all was life and animation
from an early hour. 1t is no small
undertaking to manage great naval parade
such as this has been and will be tomorrow and
too much credit cannot possibly be given
to Admiral Gherardi and his chief of
cess that has marked it from the beginning
The entrance to the harbor was managed by
Capt Barker Of the Philadelphia in a manner
to call forth enthusiastic prais rom Admiral
Gherardi.
ON THE PHILADELPHIA
On board the Philadelphia as the feet made
its way up the harbor this morning
the assistant secretary Of the navy, Mr..
McAdoo. and his naval aid. Lieutenant Souther-
land. together with a small party OF mem
bers OF Congress. mostly from the committee on
naval affairs. MIR. McAtoo came over from
Washington Yesterday afternoon and was met
which had run up to New York to bring him
down to the feet. He was on board the
Philadelphia before . O'Clock, and a few
moments later the signal. "Prepare to 60 under
way" was hoisted on the flagship.
A little after the signal to get
started slowly along in perfect alignment.
They moved like soldiers in double column and
MS the two lines of ships turned in and out
through the channel ths sight was q wonder
fully beautiful one.
The American ships were on the western side
with the Philadelphia in the slead and the
Newark hardly more than boats length
astern and the rest coming along in close order.
On the east and couple OF hundred yards
away from the Philadelphia was the Blake.

other British ships, moving along so steadily
and with such equal distances separating
them from each other that they looked q
though they might have been tied together.

bunting and there was gsyety and dis

The Cyclone Easted but Two Minutes, but
Caused Great Destruction.
MooREs, o. T., April 26.-The country ives.
and southwest of here was swept by a terrible
cyclone at 730 O'Clock last evening. Endless
damage was done. but how much will not be
known until Geographic communication is re-
stored. The news at hand makes it certain
that ten people were killed and many more in
iured and untold property destroyed.
Though the cyclone lasted but a minute or
two the wreck LEFT in its wake was dreadful A
patch half a mile wide and eight miles long was
laid waste. Houses. barns and everything in its
reach went down. Telegraph wires and poles
were blown down ior miles around and for this
reason the particulars Of the storm are not now
fully known. The same storm passed over
Guthrie, Okla, but did no damage there.

ment.
The difficulty in the Choctaw Nation is in
fair way Of settlement. The delegation repre-
senting the Jones faction after final interview
with Secretary Hoke Smith left for their homes
last evening. Tonight Indian Inspector Faison,
who has just been appointed, will leave for the
Cboctaw country with full powers, it is stated,
from the President to bring about settlement
The adjustment is to be along the lines
OF uphoiding the Choctaw government
and allowing its courts to determine in
legal way the questions that have arisen.
Gov. Jones will be supported in all proper
efforts to execute the laws. and offenders will
be required TO stand trial. The use Of the
militia will be authorized il it is found to
be needed. However, no other than peaceful
settlement is expected. The United States
troops that are there will not be ordered away
for the present, but it is not anticipated that
their assistance will be needed.

IN WALL STREET TODAY.
The Sensation in the Market Was the FaIl
in Toledo.

in Toledo.
New YORK. April 26.-The sensation at the
opening of the stock exchange this morning
was the break in Toledo, Ann Arbor
and North Michigan Of 81 per
cent to 10. Subsequently a rally to 1874
ensued. The break was due to statements by
Vice President Ashley that loans had been
called which be could not meet. The stock
figured in loans as collaterals. The money was
borrowed to carry ont plan to make the road
trunk line in connection with the Lacka-
wanna
There are number of privileges outstand-
ing. which were given in an attempt to bull the
stock. The general market was slightly weaker
in sympathy.
The stock market improved u to rs per
cent after the opening. General electric rose
11s to 1O015, Reading Is to 251s. New England
q to 321s and Lackawanna to l44%s.
Subsequently distillers broke from
27H to 25,s and the remainder
OF the list receded n to q. Toledo, Ann
Arbor and North Michigan reacted from 1884
to l414. At II q. m. the market was weak in
tone.
The volume of business at the Stock Exchange
continues small, and, save in a few instances,
the fluctuations in prices since midday have
been confined to mere fractions. Toledo. Ann
Arbor and North Michigan jumped to l715 and
later reacted to 161z. Oregon short line de-
clined from 10 to III and general electric
from 10034 to $685., while American tobacco
rallied from 70 to 81
Generally speaking speculation has been firm
without any pressure to sell. and prices are
well maintained. The further reduction in
sterling exchange to 1856 and 1885, which di-
minishes the chances Of gold shipments, imparts
greater confidence. At the time Of writing
GAS PM the market is steady in tone.
