WHERE MONEY STICKS.
A New Rule to Cause Pension Attor-
neys to Make Quicker Settlements,

N new hule TO cause PENSION AttOF~
neys to Make Quicker Settlements.
Assistant Secretary Reynolds has promul-
gated a new rule for the pension bureau
designed to correct what is said to be a
pernicious habit prevailing among certain
pension attorneys. 1t Is said that in cases
where there are several attorneys interest
ed in the same claim and the fee goes to
the attorney not entitled to it he has op-
portunity to retain possession Of the fee
for long time before being finally COM
PEELED by the bureau to disgorge. This op-
portunity is afforded by repeated appeals
from the decision of the commissioner Of
pensions directing the refund Of the fee 1t
is said that sometimes an attorney may OBJ
tain the use of several thousand dollars for
year or more by these means. money be-
longing to other attorneys. The rule to
correct the practice Is as follows:
From and after September /, 1893, more
than one motion for reconsideration of a
decision adverse to claim for fee. or
to refundment of the same in a pension
case. will not be entertained by the de-
partment of the Interior.
The motion which is allowed must be
signed by the person prOpOunding it, with
his oath or affirmation accompanying.
that 1t is not intended for delay, but be-
cause he firmly believes injustice has been
done, which oath shall be taken before an
officer authorized to administer the same
for general purposes.
said motion must be based on % ma
terial error In law or fact or (2) after-dis-
covered evidence. If the first the error
must be specifically alleged and authori-
ties cited or reasons given to establish the
existence thereof. II the second the mo-
tion must allege that due diligence failed
to disclose the existence of such evidence
prior to the former decision of the question
by the department.. and said evidence must
accompany the motion.
"A second motion for reconsideration
and all motions which fail to comply with
the requirements Of this rule. will be trans
mtted to the commissioner Of pensions that
the law division of his office may return
them. with proper explanations, to the per-
sons propounding them"

GOING TO GRAY GABLES
Mr.. Carlisle to Leave Today to See the
President.
To Talk Over Financial Matters to he
Discussed in the MessaEe-The
President Expected Saturday.

Secretary Carlisle will leave here at .
O'Clock this afternoon over the Pennsylva.
MA railroad, for BuZZard's Bay, Mass on
visit to President Cleveland He will
stop en- route at New York tonight, and a
portion of the day tomorrow, probably
leaving during the afternoon for Gray
Gables.
Secretary Carlisle's visit to President
cleveland at this time is at the request of
the President, who desires, naturally
enough, to discuss with his Secretary of the
Treasury the financial situation before he
completes the preparation of his message
to Congress on the silver question.
Secretary Carlisle carries with him
much information specially collated at
the request of the President, on this oues-
ton.
The Presidents message to Congress- it is
understood here, will deal solely with the
financial question. all other questions being
left for subsequent communications to Com
gress. Mr.. Cleveland. though away from
the National Capital. has kept fully abreast
Of the financial situation, and since he be-
gan the preparation of his message, hardly
day has passed but. in response TO written
requests. financial Information has been
sent to Buzzard's Bay. Assistant Secretary
Hamiin took a grip-sack full of official doc
uments. The MESSAGE will be practically
Carlisle arrives, and as at present ar
ranged. the President, accompanied by Sec
retary Carlisle and Secretary Lamont, will
leave Buzzard's Bay for Washington late
Friday evening, so as to arrive at the Ex-
ecutive Mansion Saturday night. This ar
rangement is, however, subject to change,
and II is possible the President may not re-
turn to Washington until Monday morning.
1t is expected that special cabinet meet
ing will be held on Monday, at which the
message will be read. and that II will be
sent to Congress on Tuesday. This ar
rangement. too is subject to change, and
depends altogether upon the time when
both the Senate and the House are organ
lied and ready to receive official communi-
cations from the President. The delivery
OF the message may be delayed until We'd
nesday.
Private Secretary Thurber is authority
for the statement that the President will
be In washington when Congress assem-
bles on Monday. The proba bilities are that
Secretary Carlisle and Secretary Lamont
Will return to Washington with the Presi-

that the President and his financial minis

a time when they require their best mental

Suffering That Followed an Earth
quake.

Milo A. Jewett, L. s. consul az Siyas.
Turkey, reports to the State Department
that he has just returned, at the date Of his
letter, July 5, from visit to the almost in
accessible district in Asiatic Turkey which
was devastated by an earthquake three
months ago. and he tells of suffering al
most unprecedented. The effects of the dis
turbance, he says, were confined to a noun
famous territory about forty miles square,
of which Malatia and Adiaman are the
principle villages. Two thousand houses
were entirely ruined, 5000 others were rem
dered unfit for habtation, 91S people were
Killed and much greater number wounded
and 300 cattle horses, sheep and goats
persisted Weeks of severe suffering have
followed the catastrophe aggravated in
that mountainous country by snow and
rain: result Of the exposure has been the
death or large number of children. The
Turkish government sent army tents and
issued daily rations of bread to the stricken
people. and the sultan sent pecuniary as
sistance. The suffering is by no means
ended as the loss Of human life and of
working cattle will prevent the reaping Of
reasonable crops.
