ABOUT PENSIONS.


Commissioner Lochren Makes n Number
OF Pointed Suggestions.
Washington. Oct. 2s.-Commissioner
William L. Lochren of the pension Of
fee. in his annual report. makes sew
eral pointed suggestions. Under the
head Of Patriotism and Pensions" he
says: Those men who enlisted early
and fought the battles Of ithe war were
not moved by mercenary considero-
tions, and unless actually disabled did
not show haste in applying for pen
sions manifested by those who enlisted
nearer the close Of she war for large
bounties. and did little actual service,
and who are now nolsiest In clambrtng
for more PENSIONS AS compared with
this latter class the real soldiers Of the
war have been modest in presenting
claims for pensions"
The commissioner says that many
disreputable and incompetent men are
engaged as pension attorneys and sug-
gests that none but reputable men be
allowed ITO practice In pension cases.
Dishonest attorneys have given much
tipuvlV ps anu
fraudulent practices. Pension pay
ments. the commissioner says, brings
large amounts of money into the CON-
munity. and the fear that conviction
Of these attorneys would lessen the in
fiux OF money has shaped itself in popu-
lar rancor against special examiners.
whose Investigations have secured
conviction of criminals. Special ex-
animation of a division will not re-
quire as much money as In the past.
for the reason that a vigorous prose-
cution of frauds and crimes has dis
couraged and measurably stopped the
frauds. The commissioner recommends
that some provisions be made for the
maintenance of deserving clerks in his
bureau who have been long In the ser
vice and have become practically dis
abled. The commissioner recommends
vlgor of the de partment Of justice and
Of pension examiners In prosecuting
dishonest attorneys and other who
were engaged in pension frauds. Two
hundred and ninety-fve persons were
convicted during the year for frauds.

with a flush OF anger. THE woman

"well. she Is not in the court room, "
concluded the prosecutor, "and j de-
cline to say whether or not she will be
a witness"
DR. Scott was then permitted to tell
his story concerning his having been
called in to examine Pitzel's body
after its discovery. lie explained the
situation of the room and the arrange
ment OF the windows so that the sun
rays should fall upon the corpse and
hasten decomposition. The doctor
dwelt upon the discovery Of chloroform
In the stomach and said large quanti-
ties OF the drug had been used and
from the cOngested condition of the
lungs and the empty heat. II was APP
parent that the man had met a sud-
den and violent death from chlorcforn
poisoning. DIR. Scott was then turned
over to Holmes for cross-eNamInation.
Are you prepared to say" he asked,
that the decomposition OF the body
would not have occurred had II been
In a darkened room?'
Yes, sir: had II been in cool, dark
ened room, putrcfaction would not
have come so quickly"
did you, at that time, express any
opinion as to the length OF time that
he had been dead?"
II said from all appearance he had
been dead three or four days"
Holmes then subjected DR.. Scott 10 a
lengthy and detailed exam mnation,
touching the effects OF chiOroform. hui
obtained few answers that would tend
10 throw the balance In the slightest
degree In his favor. AZ the conclusion
OF DIR. Scotts testimony. Dr. william
X. Mattern. the coroner's physician,
was called. The witness said he had
made the post mortem examination a.
the morgue on Sept. 4. and the condi
tions were the same as described by
Dr. Scott. There had been paralysis
indicating sudden death. and evidences
OF chloroform In the stomach.
Holmes began cross-examlnging DIR
Mattern by requiring him to read his
notes OF the result Of the autopsy IN
their entirety. The doctor unqualified
ly declared that death had been causet
by chloroform poisoning. The cross
examination consumed nearly tw'
hours and a half and the great major
/ ity Of the questions put by Holmes
were entirely Irrelevant.
At the beginning of The night session
OF court Holmes asked II he could
send for his attorneys, Shoemaker and
ROtan The Judge consented and they
appeared and took up the case. Sew
eral other witnesses were examined
hut no important facts developed

WAR WITH ENGLAND
Senator Chandler Says Uncle Sam ard
Johnnie Bull Will Scrap.
HE'S RED HOT AFTER BLOOD
Ex-senator Dolph Says That There
Are But Two Courses for the
United States to Pursue In
Treating With England.

Concord. N. H., Odt. 2s-Over his
own signature and under the caption,
"Our Coming War With England-A
Prediction" Senator Chandler gave out
the following statement last night:
"War between the United States and
England Is inevitable. II will arise on
account OF the British disregard OF our
direct interests. 1t will also be forced
by British encroachments upon other
nations all over the world. 1t will be
fought by us. having Russia as an
European ally. AS a war offensive on
our part 1t may not happen within 20
years, as a defensive war 1t may come
sooner and should be welcomed. The
sure result would be the capture and
permanent acquisition Of Canada by
the United States. England proposes
to seize from the United States por-
tion of Alaska. She is destroying inde-
pendent governments In all parts OF the
globe. She treats American sentiment
and remonstrance with insolence and
defiance.
For the vindication of the Monroe

ent governments in the eastern heml-
sphere and the Islands of the ocean, Il
Is necessary that the United States
should prepare for war with England
1t had better come now and be over
than 20 years from now. We ought to
define our position and say that IL 1t
not be assented to We shall fight to
maintain II.
1T shall take some time to prepare
for an offensive war but a defensive
war can come none too soon. Let Eng

A solution of Citrate of
Magnesia in which we use
water from the celebrated
Pipestone Springs.
The impossibility of pro-
ducing a stable solution of
Citrate of Magnesia with
water fromvarying sources
and the further fact that
city water, when distilled
even under a high pres
sure, refused to part with
its odor, induced us to con-
duct a series of expert
ments, which resulted in
the discovery that Pipe
stone water, from its pecu-
liar naturalization, was
admirably adapted for
combination with Citrate
of Magnesia.
For protection we have
adopted a pipe and stone,

TAKING fish to Port Lavaca,
a few years ago, would have
been like taking coal to New
castle. Yet today the Port is
drawing lis fish supply from
Laguna Madre off Point Isabel.
And not only Port Lavaca, bat
other points are getting their
fish from this bay. Last week
there were about half a dozen
schooners in port awaiting a
cargo of fish, and none of them
would sail with less than a ton,
while some wanted no less than
six or seven tons. In fact, so
great has been the drain on the
piscatorial tribes in these wa
ters the past two months, that
the supply has been greatly
diminished; and as no attention
whatever is paid by the fisher
men to the Importance OF put.
ting back into the water the
young fish, or those over size,
as prescribed by tile law on
the subject adopted by the last
Legislature, there seems immI-
nent danger of the bay being
entirely Quilted of fish, as have
been all the other bays on the
coast of Texas. While the
recent activity in fishing cir
cles has doubtless benefited
Point Isabel and her fisher
men, yet when there are no
more of the finny tribe to be
caught, the reaction will be
much worse than the previous
dull times. When shall we
have Il fish commissioner here

law, which, we believe, should
now be operative
