aroused soon after midnight Monday by
the clatter OF the bell. Everybody turned

PENSION H|GHWATER MARK.
By a Bureau Statement 1t Seems
to Be Reached.
Rolls Expected to Show n Net De-
crease for This Fiscal Year.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The high
water mark as to the number of PEN
sioners on the rolls and the amount OF
money to be expended per year has EVIL
IDENTIFY been reached.
A statement prepared at the Pension
Bureau shows that OF July l. 1898. there
We're 9GG, ol2 pensioners of all kinds be-
ing borne upon the rolls. On Sept. i.
1898, two months afterwards, there were
only 1854, 1913, showing Il net decrease dur
Ing that time OF 1.6Oi pensioners.
This IL an average net decrease OF S07
per month, and If extended through the
year would show a net decrease OF 9,GSi.
1t Is estimated at the Bureau that the
loss to the rolls during the present
fiscal year by death, remarriage. minors
reaching the non-pensionable age. &c,
will reach $4,000, as against 5000 last
year. and 1t Is not thought that the ad-
ditions to the rolls W., reach much
more thar 10000.
These figures mark an epoch in pen
sion matters long expected, but has re-
CURED about thirty years to reach.

II Gsynor Refuses 1t Will Probably
BE Wayland Trask.

The newly organized General Commit.
tee Of the Citizens Union, Il branch Of
the Independent Movement in Kings

The various delegates will assemble in
the Art Rooms at 40 Montague street,
Brooklyn, and formulate plans for the

be appointed.
Major f. II. Hobbs. OF the Committee
of One Hundred, to-day appointed a

five Democrats-to be known as the Con-
ference Committee.
Republicans in Brooklyn this morning
were not surprised when 1t was an
nounced on good authority that Francis
II. Wilson would not receive the NOM
ination for Mayor.
Mr.. Wilson was never looked upon as
n strong candidate, and It is said that
his boom for the Mayoralty nomination
received its initial force from the first

ambitions, Republicans say, dates back
to the last %campaign. At that time

entered a protest against the queer

cratic majority hushed the matter up.
Some Of he Republicans blame Mr..
Wilson for the error, and because Of that
blunder alone, they say, he could not
possibly receive the nomination.
It is said now, that II William j. Gay
or refuses the nomination, the Repub-
licans will select Wayland Trask, and
ask the Independents to indorse his
nomination for Mayor.
MIR. Trask, they say, as an Independ-

asked them where they were going.
"Guaymas, Mexico" they said.
Have you work there?"
Surely" they replied.
Have you an agreement TO that
effect"
'Oh, yes"
Have you a written contract?"
I'VE have each mar said.
The inspector took their a~ffidavits ac-
cordingly and placed them In the deten.
ton pen to be acted on by the Board Of
Special Inquiry.
Yesterday they were taken before the
Board and wanted to know why they
We're detained. The Board looked at the
affidavit, saw the men were going to
