Instead of accepting it. he decided to leave l"r-

that is what he Is doing now
Nurad went from Constantinople 10 CAIRO
for this enterprise. 1t was necessary thht he

wanted to command the confidence anu support
of Mahometans. He began then the puohc''ion

Turkish Government was angered ut MS au-
dacity. and sent to have him arrested ana pun

tan's suzerainty over Egypt was defied And
so Murad remains in safety at Cairo, publishing

the fact that the Turkish army in the provinces

such circumstances the end of the Ottoman En-

has taken pains to make extensive inquiries
among politicians, business men and editors ID
all parts of the State, with results that VIII oe

and It is significant that 135 Of them favor NC
Kinley. The protection sentiment comes out
especially strong In the cities. and in Jersey CITY
and Trenton no other candidate is so much as
mentioned Another notable fact Is that only
eight men name Governor Morton as their choice.

Apparently considerable significance is to be
attached to Mayor Wursters remark that his
attitude in regard to the Greater New-York bill
remains unchanged. What that attitude was
was clearly made known during the Mayoralty
campaign last fall. Then he was opposed to any
consolidation scheme that did not give the peo-
pie Of his city an opportunity to pass Judgment
on It, II his attitude Is unchanged 1t means
that ne will not give his official approval to the
bill. In view Of the fact that he is obliged to
act on It In this way. It would manifestly not be
proper for him to discuss the matter at length
now But 1t seems safe to assume that he Will
so act as to cause the measure TO run the CANT
let OF the Legislature again.
1t would be q sweet boon II the Senate would
spare enough time from the Cuban resolutions to
seat the lawfully elected Senator from Delaware.
Chief Engineer Birdsall, OF the Croton Aauc-

not interfere in the least with the water supply Of
the city Mr.. Birdsall has held this opinion for
the last fifteen years. and he doubtless knows rs
much about the matter anybody. That ne
knows more about It than anybody else is the
opinion OF a good many people SO far the
East Side Is concerned he says, 1t would not
be touched In the least. as It is now supplied by
large mains running directly from the reservoir
in the Park. and all the service rendered to the
city by the reservoir which 1t Is proposed to de-
molish could be provided by laying good-sized
main along Fifth-ave. There ought 10 be no more
objections brought on this score against the taxi
ing away OF the old anu useless reservoir. The
truth IL that It cumbers large area OF most
valuable ground. and Its room is much to be pre-
ferred to Its presence.

1t was announced in several newspapers yes
terday that Colonel Henry H. Lyman. Of Os-
wego, had been appointed State Excise Commits
sioner under the new law. 1t was a newspaper
appointment only; and the Governor has not yet
turned over his constitutional function to the
newspaper correspondents at the capital. 1t was
positively declared yesterday that the appoint
ment had not been settled and It was broadly
hinted that the selection Of Lyman would not
be viewed with satisfaction by the Republican
boss. The Platt preference for the office Is said
TO be Commodore p. Vedder. and II what Mr.
Platt SAYS goes as is so generally supposed,
yeddcr will get the appointment. At all events,
few people can be so simple-minded as not to
believe that whoever Is selected will be accept

No attempt was made in this city to carry the
Raines Excise law into effect yesterday. the
police holding that, as the law had not been for-
nally construed by the Corporation Counsel, II
would be well to wait before issuing orders to
enforce 1t. But across the river In Brooklyn
different state Of affairs prevailed There the
bearings of the law had been explained to the
police by the District-Attorney's office, and or
ders went forth that the saloons were to be
tightly closed The law was enforced pretty
thoroughly although, Of course, there had been no
time for full compliance with the provision that
the interior OF barrooms should be fully exposed
to view from the sidewalk. One arrest was
made about the middle Of the afternoon The
law is an easy one to enforce or at any rate vio-
lations OF It can be detected so easily that only
the boldest would dare to break It.

A picture of the house in which Presi-
dent Cleveland will live after his retire
ment from public life is here presented
1t is picturesque old mansion in q
pretty part of Princeton, n. j. Mr.
Cleveland will not be dean of the Prince
ton University law college. This story,
which was given currency shortly after
the purchase of the property, has been au-
thoritatively denied by President Patton.
According to the university authorities,
Mr. Cleveland's residence in Princeton
will have no university significance. The
fact is that the President has been de-
srous of retiring TO some quiet place, and
both he and Mrs. Cleveland are very fond
of the college town and it's atmosphere.
The house is not one which any one would
suppose would be occupied by n man of
Mr.. Cleveland's wealth. 1t is a large.
roomy structure, with an appearance If
age that ii does not deserve. 1t is built
of succeed brick and brown stone in
the old colonial style. It's dimensions are
thirty feet wide by fifty feet deep and
two stories and half high. Three sides
of it are surrounded by porches. Through
its middle runs wide, old-fashioned hail.
at the right of which is the staircase. The
flooring of the hall is in hard wood, bu.
there are no other hard wood floors in the
house. The rooms, fifteen in number, are

REPORT ON PENSION AFFAIRS.
Assistant secretary of the Interior
Reviews the Work.

Assistant secretary of the Interior
Reviews the Work.
The report of Assistant Secretary of the
Interior Reynolds for the present year
shows the policy pursued in the admins
tration of pension affairs. The Assistant
Secretary says: ''The liberal and gen.
erous spirit which prompted the enact
ment of the pension laws has been the
guide of the department in their construc-
ton. Former adjudicatIons have not
been disturbed, save when fraud, error in
law or mistake was apparent"
Figures are cited to show the significant
reduction of pending cases and to dem
onstrate that, for the first time in eight
years, the work of the Office during the
last year was devoted to considering cur
rent appeals. The action of the Commits
sioner of Pensions was reversed in 2,OG6
Of the cases ruled.
Suggestion is again made as to the
advisability of such legislation as will
lodge in the Federal Courts the right Of
any one, on behalf of the Government,
to ask better protection to the pension
fund Of those laboring under legal disa-
bilities.
Ii Is suggested that justice demands the
universal application Of the common law
rule in proof of marriage. State laws
govern, and lead to denial of title in
cases which are equally meritorious. 1t
Is claimed pensonable rights of minor
children, whose claims come under the act
of June 2I, 1890, should be defined with
more certainty where the soldier dies
leaving no widow surviving.
The act of Aug. 8, 1892. relates to pen
sionable title Of those women who served
as nurses during the war of the rebel
lion. Title is confined to those who
served in regimental, post, camp or gen.
eral hospital. The refusal of the War
Department to recognize those as prop
erly employed who served in the first
three classes mentioned tends to defeat
their title and renders this portion of the
act nugatory. Attention Is invited to this
in order that proper legislation may be
enacted to relieve any deserving claim
ants of an unjust and unintentional dis
elimination

Marietta.
After reviewing the naval strength of
other nations and our own resources the
Secretary says
whoever may be called upon to consider
the possibility of a sudden outbreak OF war
by the United States any part OF which is
to be waGed upon the high seas. will be
deeply impressed with the utter inability of
any administration under present laws to
utilize promptly and efficiently, as we should
be able to do, our naval resources.
Congress, at Its last session, appropriated
S4OO,OOO toward the armament of our auxil-
liary cruisers. This sum has been used but
1t Is totally insufficient. Other sums are
needed to supply guns and ammunition with
which TO arm vessels to be called into service
from our merchant marine, and laws are
necessary to give authority to the President
TO contract for and call such vessels into the
service to utilize our naval militia, to enlist
still other men and TO purchase supplies
that may be needed. Until Congress shall
legislate upon this subject and give such au-
thority as that herein indicated. II cannot
be said that our Government Is In condition,
as II should be at all times, to meet emer-
gencies as they may arise.
