some Features OF the Lawreace-Quiatard
Compromise Plan.

Some of the details were published yesterday
Of the compromise plan for the reorganization
OF the Toledo. Ann Arbor and North Michigan
Railway Company that has resulted from an
agreement between what are known as the
Lawrence and Quintard committees.
1t Is proposed to form a new company which
will buy In the properties at foreclosure sales
and issue s., 900 first mortgage four per
cent. bonds and preferred and common stocks.
Arrears of interest will be paid In preferred
stock, and new bonds will be given for existing
bonds In proportion to the estimated values of
the old liens. For purposes Of exchange Grand
Trunk firsts will be rated at lis, North Michi-
gan firsts at liz, Mount Pleasant firsts, Cadillac
and Frankfort division issues, at par, and Lake
gage bonds are TO receive par and accrued
interest In preferred stock. The present
stock will be wiped out, but stockholders
will be allowed TO subscribe for new stock TO the
extent of fifty per cent. of their holdings at $40
q share. The statement that the stock does not
deserve consideration because originally IL had
been a gift 10 the Ashleys has stirred up the
stockholders. They say that they are innocent
holders without notice OF deals with the Ash
legs, and that they will not submit TO the pro-
posed cancellation of their rights.

PENSION OFFICE REPORT.
pep.SSA Pensioners on the Reihs-New
Claims Falling or.


WASHINGTON, Oct. lathe report Of the
Commissioner of Pensions for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1894, has been forwarded to the
Secretary Of the Interior. It says that the num-
Der of pensioners on the rolls June 30, 1903,
was $685. 12; that during the year 39.Os5 new
pensioners were added TO the rolls, and 2,3gs
previously dropped were restored, while 1881
have been dropped for death and other causes,
and on June 30, 1894. the number of pensioners
upon the rolls was 989. 544. The number of pen
sion certificates issued during the year was
S0.213. and 132, sT3 claims Of all classes we're
rejected.
On July /. 1894, there were undisposed Of and
in different stages Of preparation and advance
ment claims for pension and for increase to the
amount of 61p,027, of which 2S7, 200 claims-
originals, widows, and dependents-are on be-
half Of persons not already on the rolls. These
claims, save some recently filed. have, been ex-
amined more than once and found lacking In es-
sential evidence. They are the lame cases that
have come down through the past years. New
claims of all kinds have fallen of from 1919, 700
in 1891 to 40.14s In 1894, the fact being that
original claims for pensions under existing laws
are substantially all in, and the bulk OF new
claims are for increase, or for widows and de-
pendents.
The amount paid for pensions during the
the Treasury OF $25, 2O5, 712.8 IS of the appropri-
alton. Much dishonesty and fraud, mainly at
tributable to interruptions claim agents, was
uncovered, and there were 1874 convictions in
the United States Courts within the year for
pension frauds, perjuries, and forgeries.

NAVAL REGULATIONS CHANGED.
The Constructor Bsreau to Have Fall
Charge or the BuiIdiag or Ships.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-In general orders
amending the naval regulations, issued to-day.
Secretary Herbert places upon Chief Naval Con-
structor Hichborn the responsibility for the de-
signs, structural strength, and stability of all
ships built for the navy. Heretofore authority
has been exercised by other bureau chiefs in
modifying those portions Of tho ships affecting
their special departments and relating ~psrticu-
larly to their armor and armament, engines,
stores, and equipment. To this practice is at
tributed the top-heaviness of several vessels.
which had heavy weights placed on them not
provided for in their original designs.
Under the provisions of the new order all pro-
jected changes In ships must be submitted In
writing through the Chief Constructor. who il
directed to carefully consider them and report
upon their advisability to the Secretary. In this
manner the Secretary will be spared the necessi-
ty Of examining the Independent and frequently
conflicting requests OF various bureau chiefs
until they have been acted upon In the Con-
s~truction Bureau. In like manner, suggested
changes in ordnance. engineering and other
parts OF ships emanating from the Construction
Bureau will be accompanied by q report from
the Bureau affected before receiving the Secre-
tary's consideration.
The order is the result OF the close attention
MIR. Herbert has given to the subject for the
past twelve years. and he expects II will result
In securing desirable harmony In the most i'm
portant branch of naval work.

wAsHINGTor, Oct. 12,-Judge McComas of the
District Supreme Court to-day denied the appli-
cation Of the Miles Sugar Company Of Louisiana
for a mandsmus to compel Secretary Carlisle TO
appoint inspectors to ascertain the sugar pro-
duction of the company. The object Of the suit
was 10 test the legality Of the recent repeal Of
the sugar bounty provision Of the Mckinley Law.
and also TO lay the foundation Of an appeal tn
Congress for payment Of bounty for the current
year. Judge McComas in his opinion says:
THE reasoning whereby II IL claimed that
the bounty provisions, or at least the inspection
clauses, remain in force during this fiscal year
AZ TO all persons to whom licenses have been
issued for this fiscal year is ingenious, but not
convincing. The general repeating clause,
section 7o, contains saving exceptions Of any
right a~ccruing or accrued and Of all rights
and liabilities under existing laws. but para

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Mr. Thomas Donald

Bureau in book form with elaborate i~llustra-

intendent OF the Census to restrain him from

author alleges that the work has been cut down

fact that the authorship OF the volume Is still

The members OF the Thirteenth Regiment who hap
pen to be In the armory during a heavy wind meet
with a somewhat novel experience. as they are almost
deafened with what appears to be discharges OF heavy
artillery and the incessant rattling Of machine guns
and small arms IRE. This experience after a few
minutes gets to be decidedly unpleasant. and In the
huge drill hall IL Is with dif1culty that one can make
his voice heard. An investigation proved that the
supposed artillery IRE was caused by the faulty tin
roof covering, which was loose and banged against
the roof. The Colonel doubted the statements. but In
order to satisfy himself went to the srmory on last
Tuesday night and remained In the building during
the prevalent eastern gale, He states the complaints
are In no wise exaggerated. and that particularly on
the extreme east end II sounded as II sections OF the
tin were lifted from the roof by the wind and then
when the force ceased dropped again with a bang.
There were many small leaks, which showed
again Wednesday morning, the Colonel said, but
not as bad as during the storm some two weeks ago.
The Colonel thinks that II the storm had been as Sc

up OF water into the cellar, which Is supposed TO be
from defective construction, as Mr.. Harley, the
plumbing contractor. has stated that he was com.
PEELED by the architect to run his leaders all into a

directly into the sewer. Then, again, the traps all
leak. The architect gave lines, Il is said. for his side
walk TO the contractor. and the contractor says he
has been stopped by the Department Of City Works

much slope, and more than the city ordinances
permit.

Colonel welcome with a big noise, and advocated that
the entire regimental band be ordered to serenade the
Colonel In the evening in front OF his residence. The
other officers were averse to the proposition made
by Major Francis as being rather too commonplace. so
