Commissioners Pointed Com
rents on "Patriotism
and Pensions"
Men Who Saw the Least SerV-
ice Make the NoisieSt
Claimants.
Increase Of Pensioners During
the Year Less Than a
Thousand.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Il. - Commits
sioner William L. Lochren of the pen
sion Office in his annual report makes
several pointed suggestions. Under the
head patriotism and Pensions he
says:
"Those men who enlisted early and
fought the battles of the war We're not
moved by mercenary considerations,
and unless actually disabled did not
show the haste in applying for pen
sions manifested by those who enlisted
near the close of the war for large
bounties and did little actual service,
and who are now the noisiest III declar-
ing for more pensions. AS compared
with this latter class the real soldiers OF
the war have been modest III preferring
claims for pensions.
Would Bar Disreputable Attorneys.
The commissioner says that many dis
reputable and incompetent men are en-
gagged as pension attorneys and suggests
that none but reputable members Of the
bar be allowed to practice i'll pension
cases.
The report shows that the number Of
pensioners Jan. 30, 1894, was 969, 544:
new pensioners added during the year,
29,lS5; dropped pensioners restored,
4,206; deaths during the year, 29,Sl6;
dropped from other causes, l4,575; max
ing a net increase of pensioners during
the year of S60 Pension claims al
lowed during the year, 80, lS5; rejected,
l03,355; cases pending, 552,2l0.

scene of the horrible crime until nearly
1900 citizens Of Tyler and vicinity
were there. When the negro and his
captors arrived on the scene the mur-

A scaffold was erected in the center
of the square. Wagons laden with
lSindling wood, coal oil and straw were
driven to the scene and placed III posi-
ton. The negro was then given an
opportunity TO speak, but his words
were inaudible. He was then lashed to

MERCHANTS AS SMuGGLERS.
Well known Residents of Bayfield,, Wis,
Said to BE Implicated.

BAYFIELD, Wis, Oct. 31.-A smBg-
Cling conspiracy has been unearthed
here, but owing to the fact that the
guilty parties were in some way given
a tip, no arrests have been made as yet.
Evidence has been secured, however,
which duplicates several well known
people, and special revenue officers are
at work on the case. Whisky and
opium to the value of thousands Of dol
lars, it is said, have been smuggled into
Bayfield, from Canada during the past
year, and from here shipped to other
ports, mainly along the lake. This
smuggling has been done by alleged
fishermen and the charge is now made
that back of the scheme is company
composed of highly respectable ner-
chants.

Their plans have been thwarted at

arrest here and i'll the hands Of the To-
cal authorities, hence the attorney gen.
eral cannot get service Oh them now
and take them from this county for
trial as he contemplated doing. Officers
from this county, armed with warrants
for the arrest of Julian and Fitzsim-
mons, are now doubtless with that
twain somewhere in Texas plotting
them toward Arkansas. AS soon as the

warrants will be served upon them and

officers, and when Governor Clarle's
sheriff at Texarkana proceeds to serve
his papers he will find that his warrants
are no good.

STEALING RAILS.
G. H. Shank Charged with Stealing
from the Union Pacific.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Aug. A
George H. Shank, who, with one Raj
ston, was charged with attempting to
load up S25, 900 worth of Union Pacific
steel rails and ship the same out dur
ing the night of July a, was given a
preliminary hearing yesterday and
was bound over to the district court in
the sum of $500. President Patrick, of
an eastern road, now building, testi-
fed to a contract with Shank to fur
nish one thousand tons of new and
five tons relay rails and that ne had
come here to ascertain why they were
not shipped. Shank and Ralston
claimed to have bought the rails. The
state attempted to show that several
days before the alleged attempt was
made Ralston in the presence of Shank
openly boosted that he would take the
pile of rails in dispute. 1t was further
shown against Shank that the plan
was to load the rails that night and
ship them and that Shank and Raj
ston had made a trip on branch roads
to find more rails.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-The state de-

OF the killing OF the missionaries in Ku

received yesterday, was from Consul Cen
eral Jernigan and shows that no Ameri-
cans suffered, but that the massacre Of
British subjects was greater than at first
IS as follows: Americans ali safe None
hurt. Ten British killed"
Although Mr.. Jernigan does not use the
word missionaries in mis- dispa tch there
IS no doubt felt by the officials of the
state department that he refers to them
and that his dispatch is intendeii as a
supplementary TO that of yesterday. The
cablegTam was at once forwarded to Sec
rotary Olney at mis- summer home in
Massachusetts for his information.
Up to this time SO far as is ascertained
no steps have been taken by the navy de-
partment toward sending any naval force
10 the district where the reported masss-
ere has occurred. When word came of
the trouble yesterday the customary in
structionS were sent to Minister DENLY

were protected. \ message received last
