PENSION FRAUDS.


Inoriminating Documents Filed with q
Federal Court.
DUBUQUE, L., October 11.-Special
Examiner Waite Of the pension bureau
in obedience to an order OF Judge Shiras
in the Federal Court has filed the docu-
ments captured in the famous tin box in
Pension Agent George M. Van Leven's
private Office at Lime Springs. The doc
uments are mostly in the form of corre-
spondence discriminating npon its face
Van Leven and certain Of the Board Of
Medical Examiners with whom he had
relations. Nearly all Of the numerous
indictments found against the pension
attorney are to be based on these letters.
About 700 papers are filed. Some Of
these letters are to pension claimants
whom Van Leven advised to "grease !"
the members Of the board in order to
have their examinations 60 through
smoothly. Others are letters between
agents and surgeons, in which terms are
arranged for raising pensions. Itappears
Van Leven gave the claimants to under
stand this payment of money to med
ical examiners was the usual thing es-
tablished by long practice, and it did not
appear there was corrupt intention on
the part of the claimants.

seamen's Wages.

SAN Francisco, October 12.-The local
association composed of sailor boarding
house keepers circulated notice around
the water front to-day announcing that
hereafter seamen's wages on deep water
ships shall be $40 per month, and ordi-
nary seamen's $l5. This is an advance OF
s. in each case over the rate heretofore
paid to seamen shipping for a voyage to
Liverpool or other distant ports. In con-
sequence the ship captains do not take
to II favorably. On the other hand the
clearinghouse masters assert they will
not ship man unless the rate Of $40
and $15 is agreed to.
