Farnham Post Reiterates les Pension
Declaration.
new YORK. April 14.-Noah L. Farm
ham Post No. 456, at q meeting decided
that it would stick to its resolution in
opposition to the inniscriminate grant
ing OF pensions, even il il was formally
cast out Of the ranks of the Grand
Army. Farmham post adopted resolu-
tions on March 3 last. that the time has
come to stop the granting Of pensions to
distant relatives of Union soldiers, and
to mel who had never been under fire,
and whose disabilities, il any, were in
CURED elsewhere than on the field of
battle. This provoked a storm of crit
icism. Rankin Post No. 10 of Brook
lyn filed charges with the commander
OF the department of New York.
Declared to BE In Contempt.
After some correspondence the post
was declared to be in contempt OF the
bylaws OF the order. Tt was finally de-
terrnined at the meeting Wednesday
night that Post Commander Finnshould
inform the assistant ad~jutant general
that it is the opinion of the post il it is
the desire of the Grand Army of the
Republic to pay pensions to people who
have no incurred disabilities in the
service OF the country, and to those who
do not need them. then the post no
longer desires to remain in the Grand
Army of the Republic, Commander
Finn was also directed to state that if q
reply was not received before Wednes-
day morning next it win be taken for
granted that thu Grand Army officials
are not IN sympathy with the patriotic
feeling uf the post. which will then de-
clare its connection with the order
ended.
George Washington post has adopted
resolutions similar to those adopted by
Farnham post. The state encampment
of Pennsylvania have taken like action.

They Will Be Converted Into Indian
Agents.
WASHINGTON, April 14.-This admin
istration proposes to adhere very closely
to the provisos of the congressional act
adopted by the Fifty-second congress to
name army officers for Indian agents
Throughout the Indian country instead
OF civilians. The decision on the part
of this administration was made known
to Major Baldwin by Secretary Smith,
of the interior department. Repre-
sentative Baldwin called at the depart
ment and presented numerous applica-
tions from ambitious candidates who
desire to secure appointments as Indian
agents under this administration.
When the applications were presented
Representative Baldwin was informed
that except upon rare occasions there
would be no variance from the rule that
army officers would be appointed Indian
agents instead of civilians.
