II there is enc public building whose appear
ance is more disgraceful to the National Capital
than the pile Of brick known as the Pension
Office, it is the sarcophagus dignifed by the
title Of City Hall. in front of which the werst
statue that ever claimed to represent Abraham
Lincoln perches at the top of 50-foot shaft.
The hall was built in part by funds derived
from q lottery. It's corner stone was laid Aug,
22, 1870. by the Grand Lodge of Freemasons of
the District of CoIumbis, VIM. Hewett being
the Grand Master at the ceremonial. James
Monroe, President of the United States, and
Samuel n. Smallwood, Mayor of Washington,
were among those present on the occasion Tho
model OF the completed building was shown for
many years in one of the corridors of the old
City Hall, but has disappeared. 1t consisted of
an immense rotunda to be erected in the center
of Judiciary Square, with two great wings, one
fronting on ID street and the ether on Z street.
Nothing but the ID street wing was ever built.

ARMY AND NAVY,

The Maine will be the first ship tried of the
new Navy constructed throughout at Navy
yard, and great interest attaches to her per.
forInance as a means of comparison between
work by private firms and that under Govern
rnent direction. The trial board which takes
the Montgomery to sea July for her final
trial will join the Columbia at Bosten and im-
mediateiy after her spin for 81 knots or better,
the Maine will be taken to Long Island Sound
and run over the naval s0-mile course to test
her machinery for horse power development.
Several of the cruisers are in bad shape
Serious difficulty is being experienced by the
Navy Department in taking care Of the modern
steel war vessels, anyway. The regulations
provide that such "shall be docked, cleaned,
aud painted at lerst once in six months when
practicable" and that under no circumstances
shall more than nine months elapse without
docking, except by authority of the Secre-
tary OF the Navy" Salt water soon corrodes
the steel plates after the paint has been de-
stroyed by barnacles and other causes. The
trouble is that our large ships do not readily
! find docks to accommodate them. Sometimes,
at an expense OF many thousands of dollars q
ship has 20 be sent several thousand miles to
find suitable docking facilities.
The Naval Reserves are becoming almost as
impOr rtant a feature of each State as the Ma.
tionai Guard. Applications have been received
at the Department from nearly all the con-
tingents for ship for Summer cruising. This
years reserves will display for the first time a
distinct pennant, which has been devised by
the Navy Department. Each ship upon which
reserves are stationed will fly this iae while at
sea. The field Of the flag is blue, wit yellow
square IN tho center, surmounted by q blue
foul anchor. The guidon will be half blue and
half yellow. The fnll strength of the Naval

AN IMPORTANT PENSION ORDER.

Judge VIM. Lochren, Commissioner of PEN
sions has issued an order modifying prior
order, insomuch that hereafter no investiga-
tion shall be deemed necessary in certified
cases, except in those IN which fraud has been
shown. This will cause the return to the files
of many cases now under investigation. The
order does not prevent the Investigation of a
claim in which there is evidence that the claim
itself is fraudulent. The present amendment
is to the order which was issued OH May ii, the
provisions of which have been frequently pub.

MEXICAN WAR VETERANS.

The bill agreed upon by the House Commit
tee on Pensions to increase pensions of sur
vivors of the Indian and Mexican wars from So
to $12 month has been reporter to the House
by Representative Stallings, of Alabama.
Most of the benefciaries Stallngs represents
have reached old age, aud, after adding vast ter
ritery to the United States, are dependent upon
their own exertioas and Government aid for
support. Their roll will decrease yearly, and
there will be ne additions to it. Attention is
called to the fact that new titles TO original
pensions are created
The committee is constantly called upon to
recommend private bills for the same class of
benefciaries, and, although under the act of
Jan. >, 1893, Mexican war survivors in destitute
circumstances are entitled to the increase, the
committee thinks it humiiating condition to
compel them to prove themselves panpcrs, and
also thinks the benefits should be extended TO
survivors Of the Indian wars and widows of the
veterans.
A statement of the Commissioner OF Pensions
shows that there OH the rolls I3, 625 PEN
si0ners Of the Mexican war, and 7,siI widows;
3, l09 survivors OF the Indian wars, and 3,06I
Widows while applications a re pending for 2, $40
Mexican pensions, and 2, l52 Indisn war peu-
siens. The number Of Mexican war pensions
increased under the act of 1892 was 3, 3,421. He
estimates that 1879 additional Mexican pen
s!ons aud I,32o Indian war pensions will be
granted, and makes estimate that the cost
to the Government of increases made by the bill
will be $1;309. 632 per annum.

Senator Walsh, OF Georgia, has formally an
nounced himself as a candidate for the full
term from his State, which begins next March.
Georgians are very unwilling to talk about the
Senatorship, because Speaker Crisp has not yet
decided whether he will be a candidate for the
place. 1t is felt that Mr.. Walsh has something
of mortgage on the seat from the fact that in
his short incumbency he has won good deal
of strength in Georgia and the people are dis
posed to return him.

Representative W. A. Stone, of Pennsylvania.
says that his resolution to define and punish
anarchy in this country was hurriedly prepared
and may be improved after it gets into the
House, but thinks that in a general way it
reaches the spot. He thinks immigration is
largely responsible for the prevalence af anarchy
in the United States, and will probably make a
strong effort before the session is over to get
action on his bill to amend the immigration
laws

A Chinaman Condemned to Death by
Chicago Society.


Chicago, Jan. s.-Lee Wa Sing, Of Lo-
gansport, Ind, has been decreed to die by
the society in Chicago known as the Moy,
and all because of a gambling debt CON
tracted last summer. Lee Wa Sing oper-
ates laundry in Logansport, and came
here to see the fair, having 800 in his
pocket. He strolled into Lee Two's place,
at 3l5 South Clark street. This gamb bling
den is in the rear of a grocery kept by
Huen Suen, and here Lee Wa Sing soon
lost 5000 In order to make good his debt
of 800, for he had surrendered the 500 in
cash to Lee Two he gave the latter a
mortgage of 500 on his laundry
in LOganspOrt. When Lee Two went
over 10 Logansport, however, to fore
close the mortgage, Lee Wa Sing had
him arrested on the charge of swindling
but he was bailed out. Then he came
back TO Chicago, and the Moy Society
held meeting, the result Of which was
that Lee Wa Sing was condemned to
death in case he did not pay the 500 to
Lee Two. He became frightened and APP
pealed to the Logansport police, and also
to the police here. The Chicago police
have done nothing in the case, as Lee
Wa Sing is in Logansport. and if he is as
sassinated the killing will be done in
Indiana.
Lee Wa Sings brother was found last
night at No. 3l5 South Clark street. He
was at the gambling table, but looked up
long enough TO say, Him pay. No pay,
Glet in the neck"
This seemed to express the situation
fully. Other Cinnamon in the den seemed
TO regard it as a matter of course that Lee
Wa Sing should suffer the penalty of
death for having incurred the displeasure
OF the society. They did not see how he
could help himself out of the trouble ex-
cept by paying up at once.
