PASSING UPON PENSIONS.
A. NEW DEAL FOR THE HANDLING
OF APPEALED CASES.
The Secretary of Interior Fro
n~uIGates n New Code for the Gov
of the Department.

The Secretary Of the Interior Pro-
nuIGates n New Code for the Gov
ernment of the Department.
Washington, Sept. 11.-For the pur-
pose of arriving at a more certain n
uniform practice in the pension ONCE
and the department of the interior In
the matter of appeals in pension cases,
Secretary Smith has promulgated a new
code of rules for the government OF the
department and guidance OF appellants
and their attorneys. Very loose methods,
it is said, have hitherto prevailed, and
almost any paper filed by a claimant who
considered himself aggrieved by the ac-
ton of the pension office had been COZ
sidered and treated as an appeal. IBIS
practice had a ~tcndancy TO render the
board of pension appeals a mere board
of general review for the work OF the
pension office, and to occupy the time and
attention of the department with utterly
useless and irrelevant matters. No spe-
cial nor technical forms are required for
an appeal by the new rules, but appel
lants will be required 10 file with the
secretary a concise and plain statement
Of the errors of law or fact complained
of and constituting the ground of the
appeal.
The organization of the board Of pei
sion appeals has also been materially
changed and modified. Instead of being
divided as hitherto into several sub
divisions, each working uIder its own
chairman in a scmi-indepcndent manner,
il has now been constituted one board,
with an organization similar to other d.
visions of the Office of the secretary of
the interior, having one chairman or
chief, and an assistant chairman. John
a. Lacy of Missouri, who has been a
member of the board since 1887, has
been made chairman, and Edward T.
Hall of Pennsylvania assistant chair

A WEATHER STATION NEEDED.


Washington, Sept. 1~1.-Senators Wash
burn and Davis have been making an
effort to secure the establishment of a
government weather signal station at
some point in the second congressional
district Of Minnesota. The weather
bureau itself is very anxious for such a
station. The great agricultural region in
Southwestern Minnesota is not represent
ed or the signal map. The matter of
location has not yet been decided upon.
Mankato will be too far east, and prob
ably will not receive the support of the
senator's. The point nearest the geo.
graphical center where no stations are
located would be Jackson, in jackson
county. 1t may be possible that that
town would be selected, but the probable
tiles are that the weather bureau would
be inclined to favor Pipestone in Pipe
stone county on account of the number
of railroads which cross at that point,
furnishing Geographic facilities at all
times, as well as reports from a radiat-
ing region.
