increase rapidly. The industries of the

ator White, of California, has made an
attack upon the rules which permit
members to talk continuously about

it would be a genuine reform and at
the same time rescue the senate from

Murphy.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Commissioner
of Pensions Domonik Ignatius MUIR
ply has submitted to the secretary of
the interior his annual report on
the operations of the pension bureau
for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1896, shows that 40, 37t new PEN
sioners were added; 1888 restored

making total of A, PAT; the losses for
various reasons aggregated 44,093.
The whole number of pensioners on
the rolls June 3d. 1896, was 970, 67s.
The commissioner states that it may
now be safely assured that the
roll from now ON will show
steady diminution unless congress
should enact still more liberal
provisions. The rate of mortality of
the pensioners, particularly those who
served through the war of the rebel
lion, is rapidly Increasing.
Disallowances of pensions during
the year amounted to 97,2sO, most of
them being applications for increases.
The amount disbursed was S38, 2i4, 900,
a decrease of 81, 592, 900.
The amount appropriated for pension
payments, $40, 600, 900, was found to be
more than sufficient.
There was at the close of the fiscal
year an unexpended balance of 81, $780,
900.
The commissioner adopts the esti-
mates of his predecessors for 1899,
namely, $14o,OO0,OO for pensions and
81, 1928, 900 for expenses.

He claims every state west of the Mis-

of Minnesota.

He believes that the chances for Nc
Kinley's carrying the state are good,
and predicts that the electoral vote of
Texas will be found in the republican
column when it has been counted.
L he combined opposition has gone SO
far, he says, as to put in the field a

is not based uH~n ;dle guess work, but
that it is the result of a careful re
view of the situation.

Atlantic Coast.
NEW York, Sept. 22.-The heavy
thunder storm of Saturday did great
deal of damage to yachts and other
small craft that were anchored in
Gravesend bay. A boat owned by the
Marine and Field club, of Gravesend,
was capsized at the pier and the Arrow
was also capsized; a 45-foot sloop
washed against the Ulmer park pi er
and went down. The greatest damage
at Coney Island was done to S. L.
Rankin's toboggan slide in Sea Beach
walk. In the early part of the storm
the slide was lifted from its founda-
ton in several places, and was soon
complete wreck. The most noteworthy
victim of the storm was the famous
little half-rater Ethelwynn, which
last year won the Seawanhaka-
Corinthian Yacht club international
challenge cup for half-raters from
Spruce ", of the Mimosa Yacht
club of England. The Ethelwynn is
now owned by Crosby Leonard of New
York, and his brother. She was an

and was dashed against the pier, sink

Several yachts with fishing partiey
on board, which sailed for the ''chol.
era" fishing banks from Far Rockaway,
have not yet returned and some
anxiety is felt for their safety. Steam.
ers which came in just before the
storm, reported that large number
of yachts were laid to just off the
banks.
