PAY AND BOUNTY.
Report of the Auditor for the War
Department..

Report of the Auditor for the War
Department.
In his annual report to the Secretary of
the Treasury the auditor for the War De-
partment says that the work of the pay and
bounty division is still about eighteen
months behind, Notwithstanding there has
been a gradual gain on the back work dur
ing the last three years. He says the num-
ber Of claims on hand has been reduced
by SIG during the fiscal year ending June
80, 1893, and by 675O during the fiscal year
ending Jure 80, 1894. and still further re-
duced by 1872 during the last fiscal year,
which has brought the work up to claims
filed in 1894 At the same rate of gain on
this back work, he says, it will require the
present force at least four years to bring
the work up to date, if as many new claims
continue to be filed; but that an increase of
twenty-five clerks would enable this work
to be brought up to date within two years.
He recommends that this increase of force
be made, i'll order that all just claims for
pay and bounty due to soldiers and to the
families of deceased soldiers may be paid
more promptly.

across the street and stand.
The Wagons Block the Street.


Commissioner Truesdell said the trouble
about occupying the north side of street
was that the wagons stand there to the
detriment Of the public, which had a right
to the free and uninterrupted use of the
street. The Market Company had no right
to charge rent for the space occupied by
the wagons, and the Commissioners corsid-
cred it their duty to clear the street. The
wholesale market square was provided with
the idea of allowing the farmers to sell
able he continued, to put shed over this
square.
This being the case. Mr.. Curtiss thought
it would have been far better to have al;
lowed the other improvements which had
been made to go and gravel the entire
space. Mr.. Croz.er said that as he under
stood the arrangement. the Commissioning
were going to move all the dealers or or H
street to the Who'll esale market Retailers
were to be allowed to utilize the sidewalk
on the south side of street, adjacent to
the Smithsonian grounds
Who Are Retailers:
This brought up an important question Of
who were retailers. He ventured to say
that every man who sold at the market
were both wholesalers and retailers as the
occasion demanded. 1t was difficult mat
ter to settle the difference between the two.
w
unjust to move a certain number two or
three squares away, and allow others 10
stand within half square Of the market,
where most of the goods were sold. If the
Commissioners had the right to allow the
occupation of the south side of street.
why not apportion spaces there and charge
rent therefor? During the administration
of Commissioner Douglass such an ar
rangement was made and the market was
never run smoother. The arrangement was
fair and no one complained. Again, the
wholesale market square would not ac-
commodate the dealers. What was going
TO be done then? There was, on an aver
age 400 farmers who sold their products by
wholesale. The wholesale market square
could not accommodate them ALL He
thought it would be proper to move all
dealers, both retail and wholesale, off of
street on both sides east Of 10th street.
The men he represented were willing to
abide by such an order, and he thought it
would operate fairly all around.
Postponement Likely.
The Commissioners said that they had
done everything possible with the limited
means at their disposal.
Mr. Curtiss thought the Commissioners
should allow the whole question to remain
in statu quo until after Congress met and
passed an appropriation providing for a shed
to the wholesale square.
The hearing finally ended with the Com
mssioners promising to take the matter un-
der consideration.
A prominent farmer in discussing the
matter with a reporter of The Star after
the hearing said he thought the Commits
sioners had made a fatal mistake in COM
pelling the farmers to remove from B
street. The ladies' who go to market would
object to going far out OF their way to
do their marketing. When the farmers
stood under the shed on the north side of
b street everything was convenient and in
stormy weather the sned afforded protec-
ton.

URGED TO BE FAITHFUL.
Address of the Kaiser to IL Number OF
Recruits.

Recruits.
BERLIN, November T-Emperor William
today enjoyed one Of those military displays
which have become remarkable of recent
years from the fact that he takes advantage
of such occasions to make some utterance
which is commented upon for a long time
afterward. He did not fail to do so today,
and although there was nothing astonishing
in his address, it contained sharp reference
to socialism.
The cause of the military turnout today
was the swearing in of the recruits of the
regiments of the guard which was accom-
panied ~ the usual ceremonies. His ma
jesty then made short speech to the young
soldiers, reminding them that they now be-
longed to his army and bidding them es-
pecially to be mindful of the honor which
was theirs in being attached to the guard.
He added:
Before all things, you should trust to
God to preserve your own honor and be
faithful to your emperor and country, wheth-
er against a foreign OF an internal foe
Gen. Won Wintefeldt then called for three
cheers for the emperor, which were heartily
given by all present and the ceremony Of
administering the oath Of allegiance to the
young soldiers just joining was concluded
with a march past Of all the troops assem-
bled.

discouraging. Such is the state of Amer

says:

before the presidential year which will
bring the democrats back to power. So far
as our relations with the United States are
concerned, the issue is of exceedingly little
Importance, involving no other change than

Annual Report of Paymnster General

Stewart Oh the Purchases Made.
In his annual report to the Secretary of
the Navy, Paymaster General Edwin Stew
art recommends an increase of the navy
supply fund from 100000 to S5O0,OO0, as in
the interest of economy, the bureau thereby
being enabled to keep On hand an adequate
supply of needed materials at the different
yards purchased after advertisement, in
stead of being obliged, as a present, to pur-
chase them in the open market on emer-
gency applications. He shows clearly the
great enconomy effected by the applicat ation
of this plan in the past, saying that careful
ly drawn specifications wide competition
and rigid inspections have enabled the de-
rartment to meet its requirements during
the past year with supplies of unusual ex-
cellence at surprisingly low prices.

A Reign of Terror.

Private accounts represent the condition
of the Asiatic provinces of Turkey as being
deplorable in the extreme. veritable reign
of terror is said to exist, ana bloodshed and
robbery are of daily occurrence.
The police of this city are kept busy night
and day, watching everybody and every
thing To such an extent is this system of
police surveillance carried that two SerV-
ants in the employ of English merchants
here have been arrested while returning
from the post office with letters and news
papers. The latter were seized by the police
in spite of the protests of the servants, and
We're carried away to the police depot for
examination. The English merchants
promptly complained to he British charge
daffares, the Hon. Michael Herbert and
the latter has made strong representa- tions
to the porte on the subject.
OF course, such a state of affairs cannot
be allowed to exist much longer, as the lives
or all Christians In Armenia are in danger
and there is hourly expectation of the most
serious trouble in almost every part of the
Turkish empire.
The mere calling out of the army reserves
Will have little or no effect on the situation
as the troops can not be relied upon in
such an emergency, and the wretched con-
dtion of the Turkish finances bars any
thing like wholesale and energetic action
upon the part of the Turkish government
unless holy war is proclaimed, and that
could only be done by inflaming the relig-
icus fdnaticism of the Turk against the
NHilStiaHS. lnlS, IL IS DelleVed, the porte
would not hesitate to do in the case of an
invasion of the Turkish dominions; but
such a step would net be calculated to sup
press interior disorders, the basis of which
should be the protection of the Christian
population of Armenia
Hall Rifat Pasha, the new grand viZier
of Turkey, has the reputation of being an
able administrator. He has held numerous
high posts and is man of broad views
judged from! Turkish standpoint
The grand viZier is expected to have a
moderatinG influence between the Mussul-
mans and the Christians; but it is thought
that he will not be able to do anything of
remarkabl" nature at the present serious
juncture of affairs in the Turkish empire
