New Pension Decision.

WASHINGTON. Aug 2.-Failing 10 re-
ceive any assurance of progress from En-
bassador Eustis in the Waller case. act
ing Secretary of State Adee has again
cabled him to press the request for the
record of Walters trial in Madagascar, and
has instructed him at some length as to
the position which he should take in pre-
senting Ii. 1t is understood that Mr..
Eustis has Teen instructed to say TO the
French authorities tnat nothing less than
the inspection of the complete papers in
the case will be sufficient TO satisfy the
United States whether justice has been
done. 1t is also stated on what is be-
lieved to be good authority, that the in
structions to Mr.. Eusts went step
further in that they direct him to say that
final refusal to furnish complete
transcript will be accepted by this govern
ment as a denial of Justice.

NEW PENSION DECISION.


1t Affects Only Those Who Once
Served I'm the Rebel Army.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-In recent pen
sion case. Assistant Secretary Reynolds. of
the Interior Department, decided that
where there is a record of service in the
Confederate army, such record, failing to
show whether the service was voluntary or
involuntary. 1t will be presumed that the
service was voluntary, but such presump-
ton may be rebutted. the burden of proof
being on the claimant. Where the service
was voluntary, the claimant Is not entitled
to pension, but where the service was
wholly compulsory he may be. The suffi-
cheney of the evidence to rebut the pre-
sumption of voluntary service must depend
on the circumstances of each case. In an
other case the Assistant Secretary holds
that when a soldier was discharged to re-
enlist, and did then and there re-enlist as
veteran volunteer. and thereafter desert
ed from the service and never returned to-
or was discharged from said service. ne is
not pensionable under any law for any
disability contracted under the enlistment
from which abe was discharged, or that
from which he deserted for the reason
that there was no period of time during
which he was regularly and legally re-
leased or separated from the service. Mr..
Reynolds also holds that an insane claim,
ant under the dependent pension act, may
file a valid declaration for pension by a
competent person as next friend but before
payment, guardian or committee must be
apn0inted

OHIO "POpS" COXEYIZED.
Coxey for Governor and COxey's Res
OlutiOns Passed.

COLUMBUS. o.. Aug. 2.-After two tur-
bulent sessions to-day, the Ohio Populists
succeed in adopting platform and naming
a State ticket. They adjourned late this
afternoon, but some of the more influential
members of the party are not pleased with
the result. General Jacob S. Coxey was
triumphant in everything. and 1t was the
prominence of Coxeyism and his novel ideas
that does not suit some of the conservative
Populists. Aside from the Endorsement OF
the Omaha platform, the Endorsement OF
Coxey's noninterest-bond scheme and good
roads bills and the denouncing of the trial
of Debs were the principal points in the
platform. Following is the complete tickle,
nominated:
Governor-Jacob s. Coxey, Stark county.
Lieutenant Governor-John II. Crofton
Hamilton
Treasurer-George Harper, Greene.
Attorney-general-Wil Baker, Lick
i'm.
supreme JUDGE. d. Stark, Cuyahoga.
Public Works-William A. Lloyd. Tusca-
rawas.
Clerk Supreme Court-Thomas N. Hick-
man, Morrow.
After the convention adjourned ii was
discovered that no one had been nominated
for the important position of Auditor of
State. The State central committee will
supply the omission later.

to be experimenting with water power for

feasible at any of the long-dstance stations
the electrical men say it will merely wipe
out the factor of coal bills at the plants and
add the fixed charges on the investment for
a water-power plant.
