PENSION CLAIMANTS.


An Order as to the Preparation Of Their
Statements.
Secretary Hoke Smith and Commissioner of
Pensions Lochren have abolished practice
now existing among certain pension attorneys,
affecting the taking of testimony of claimants,
which is said to permit fraud. 1t has become a
custom for some pension attorneys to have
printed copies Of statements of the claimant
grounds for asking for pension. the statement
being of such general nature as to cover al
most any case. This statement is usually read
to the claimant, who liz assured that it is all
right, and he thereupon makes affidavit to it as
his own statement, although it may not cover
his case absolutely.
To correct this practice the following order
was issued today from the penson bureau:
In the preparation Of testimony in the sup
port Of claims in pension cases all statements
affecting the particular case and not merely
formal must be written, or prepared to be type
written. in tho presence Of the witness. and
from his oral declarations then made to the
person who rhen reduces the testimony to
writing or prepares the same to be typewritten.
And such testimony must embody stat ement by
the witness that such testimony was all written
or prepared for typewriting Gas the case may
be- in his presence and only from his oral state
ments then made. stating also the time, place
and person, when, where and to whom he made
such oral statements, and that in making the
same he did not use or not prompted by
any printed or written statement or recital pre-
pared or dictated by any other person and no,
attached as an exhibit to his testimony. ANY
needless delay in the preparation of such testi-
timouy after such oral statement by the wit
ness. or in forwarding the same to this bureau
and any material alteration erasure will b.
cause for rejecting such testimony.

IMPORTANT CHANGES.
Rumored Shake Up Among the Chiefs OF
the War Department.


the War Department.
Rumors were circulating in the War Depart
ment today that Secretary Lamont contem-
plates several important changes in the divis-
ion officers of the department There are only
five chiefs Of divisions proper, but there are
chief clerks in each bureau of the departments
whose offices are also outside Of the classified
service and consequently are at the disposal OF
the head OF the department Most OF these
Offices are held by men who served during the
war and who afterward worked themselves up
through the civil service to their present places.
THOSE LIKELY TO BE AFFECTED.
1t is said that Secretary Lament has been in
vestigating the working force Of the depart
ment and has concluded that the service can
be improved by several changes. According to
rumor the division chiefs affected are Mr..
Samuel Hodgkins, who has held his present
office since July i, 1880. and Mr.. John Ran
dolph. who has been chief OF the correspond
ence division since July Is, 1890 Another
person said to be booked for removal or
reduction is Mr. Martin r.. Thorp,
who has been chief of the supply
division since July, 1890. The reasons for &C
of his connection with the contract for the ex-
cavation of Ford's Theater. Mr.. John Twee.
dale. chief clerk of the department, is said to
be secure. In the absence OF Secretary Ia
mont it is impossible to obtain official informa.
ton on the subject but there are excellen,
reasons for believing that the rumors are yer,
much exaggerated. il, indeed. they have an,
foundation in fact. Secretary Lamont ID ex
pected here tomorrow.

CONGRESSIONAL INFLUENCE.
1t II Still Said tn BE q Potent Factor as
appointment.


1t IL Still Said to BE a Potent Factor as to
appointment.
kissing goes by favor says the old saw
and it is said to have become apparent to those
on the inside that this trite adage still holds
good in the matter of appointments under this
administration. early protestations to thu con-
trary notwithstanding.
The department gossips in talking about ap-
pointments and promotions which have been
made since March recall the fact that early in
this administration loud and earnest statements
were made, emanating from high authorities, to
the effect that the merit rule would prevail in
the matter of promotions: that applicants for
appointment above the civil service need not
necessarily bring congressional Endorsements il
they had Inducements of worthy citizens BUSH
ness men and people of standing in their COM
munity. The impression was conveyed that tho
ubiquitous Congressman was not to be all pow
erfui and that others than the men holding
congressional influence would have chance
1t was noticed at the time that the Congress-
men. who were thus threatened to be rudely
shorn Of their Samsonian locks Of power by
this edct, did not make any violent cutlery.
They did not seem at all appalled, at the gloomy
prospect of having their Endorsements disre-
garded. They said never a word, but winked
the other eve.
The gossips say that subsequent events have
shown that the Congressman knew how they
stood when they did not become alarmed. They
say that the large crowd OF applicants who
rushed in with their outside Endorsements for
place. confident, eager and enthusiastic. still
cool their heels in the ante rooms OF the heads
Of departments, with hope gradually oozing
from them. while the men whom the Congress-
men indorse carry off the prizes with regularity
and dispatch.
They say that the promotions which are be-
ing daily made in the higher clerkships can all
be traced to congressional influence, and that
the able clerk thirsting for elevation is no,
likely to get il unless he has his Senator or
member call the attention Of the head Of the
department to his ability
