Hot Springs, Ark, October 29.-The
moves made on Ule pugil.stic checker
board to-day are full Of interest. Gov.
Clarke and Attorney General Kins-
worthy put their heads together and de-
clded to ''kidnap" Fitzsimmons before
ne reached Hot Springs and carry MIN
to Little Rock, where ne would be
so tightly bound by bonds to keep The
peace that he would be glad to get out
of the State without ever seeing Cor
bet. Th.r plans have been thwarted
at every move. however Corbett. Brady
joe Vendig and Secretary Wbeelock, Of
the Florida Athletic Club are oil under
priest here and n the hands Of the local
authorities. Hence the Attorney Cen
eral cannot get service on Them now and
take them from jhis county for trial as
he contemplated doing. He was too
slow. Officers from this county armed
with warrants for Julian and Fitzs.m-
mons are now with that twain some
where IN Texas plotting them towards
Arkansas. As soon as the train crosses
the line into Arkansas the warrants
will be served. and they will be prison
ers of Garland county officers, and
when Gov. Clarke and the Sheriff OF
Texarkana proceed to serve papers they
will find the warrants are no good.
The arrest to-day Of Brady, Vendig et
al. by the local authorities was simply
for the purpose Of forestalling the move
made BY the Attorney General to pre-
vent the removal of the men from this
city. The only thing that remains now
forthe GOvernOrt to do is to stop the fight
by military Interference and t is not
believed he will do that. as he is some
what handicapped on that score.
Everything now depends on FitZsim
mons getting here. he is expected TO-
morrow morning IN charge of Sheriff
Houpt unless a serious clash Of au-
thOrity should occur between the Off
GERS who are after him-thCse holding
the warrants issued at Little Rock and
the sheriff of this county. But it will
likely result in the first officer who gets
service holding the prisoner. That the
fight will take place between now and
November I'd seems to ibe certainty.
Sheriff Booker, Of Pulaski county, ar
rived tonight with a warrant for
Brady and Corbett, and delivered it to
Deputy Sheriff Tate and requested that
he serve it. Deputy Tate refused. The
men are now in the custody Of the au-
thorities of this county and he could not
get service until they were released.
FitzSimmOns and party left San An
tonic tonight at 8 o'clock, and unless
intercepted and detained, win arrive
here tomorrow evening.
A large circus tent has been secured
which can be put up in two hours and
which will accommodate $4,000 people.

THE PENSION BUREAU.
Commissioner Lochren Makes Some Point
ed Statements in His Report

WASHINGTON, October 29.-Commis-
sioner Lochren, of the pension office in his
annual report makes several pointed sug-
gestions. Under the head patriotism and
Pensions" he says:
Those men who enlisted early and
fought the battles OF the war were not
moved by mercenary considerations and
unless actually disabled did not show the
haste in applying for pensions manifested
by those who enlisted near the close OF the
war for large bOunties, and did little ac-
tual service, and who are now the nOlsiest
in clamoring for more pensions. As COM
pared with this latter class, the real SOL
diers of the war have been madest in pre-
ferring claims for pensions"
The commissioner says chat many dis
reputable and Incompetent men are en-
that none but reputable members of the
bar be allowed 10 practice in pension
cases
The report shows that the number of
pensioners June So 1894. was 9695f4 new
pensioners added during the year. 39, ,1S;
dropped pensioners restored, 4,46; deaths
during the year, 29,Sl6; dropped for other
causes 1875: making net increase OF
pensioners during the year of $50 PEN
sion claims allowed during the year, 9,l65;
rejected. 103 $50; cases pending, Jo22l0.
The appropriation for the year was $780,
Ol0OO0 and there was paid during the year
Sl3S. .S07, ,337. The estimate for pensions Tor
1897 are $l40,000OC0 for pension payments.
$4,000 for surgeons fees and $4,000 for
clerk hire at pension agencies and about
10000 for other expenses.

The Residence of Mr.. j. ID. Culbertson. at
Echo Point, Visited.
Yesterday morning when the family
of Mr.. J. d. Culbertson, residing at Echo
Point, arose they discovered that the
house had been entered by burglars
during the night and a quantity Of sill
yer plate. valued at something like $780,
had been carried off. The thieves con-
fined their examination to the lower
floor of the house, but missed the solid
silver in their quest for valuable plum
der.
The robbery created a good deal Of
excitement in the vicinity, coming as II
does so soon after the other robberies
in that portion of the county, and the
citizens are talking of employing one
or two special officers for night duty be-
tween Fulton and Edgington's Lane and
Pleasant Valley.
The thieves were very probably from
this city, but so far have succeeded per-
fectly in concealing their identity.
