Ambassador White to ascertain exactly
the Intentions of Germany with respect to
the claims of Herr Lueders, whose recent

II any schemes of annexation exist or if

Pension Examiner for NobIcsviIIc.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
NOBLESVILLE, Ind. Nov. 2S. - Repre-
sentative c. B. Landis of the Ninth con-
gressional district, has succeeded in Sc
curing another special pension examiner for
this district. A letter from Hon. II. Clay
Evans, commissioner of pensions, brings
this information. The special examiners
now at work in Indiana are far behind with
their work. The Ninth district is one of
the strongest soldier districts in the State
and Mr.. Lands made a proper showing to
the commissioner of pensions and demon
strated that it was no more than fair to the
soldiers of his district that an additional
special pension examiner be appointed in
order that the cases referred to special ex-
aminers might be acted on more promptly.
The new special examiner will be stationed
at Noblesvile this being the strongest sol
der county in the Ninth district. The SOL
diers are greatly elated over the action of
tho commissioner of pensions.

and acquired skill in any profession or call
ing; and that for expert testimony the wit
ness be allowed to obtain, either from court
or litigant, remuneration in accordance
with the. usual fees and emoluments of
such profession or calling. We ask that
court and attorney aid in elevating expert
medical testimony instead of degrading it
to the level of the common witness: that
they treat us as honest men, demand of US
and compensate US for the highest grade of
scientific service in as good faith as they
ask the same of us at the sick bedside; that
instead of seeking contradiction and con-
fusion of the opposing. experts they treat us
in the same friendly and gentlemanly
manner that they would at our homes or
on the streets, and ask of us on the witness
stand only the definite and pertinent sci
entific facts and opinions directly involved
in the case. allowing us plain language
and explicitness sufficient to make our
selves clearly understood both by court and
jury. 1t is the writer's opinion that when
thus treated. medical expert testimony
will occupy the high position it Justly de-
serves, an indisputable requisite in a large
majority of the most important cases on
the court dockets. J. M. THURSTON.

Moret, the minister for the colonies, has
received numerous dispatches from the

The Official Gazette will publish to-mor-

Rico on lines similar to Cuban autonomy.
The Chamber will consist of thrty-two
members, the Council of Administration of
sixteen, of whom eight will be elected The
two chambers of commerce in the island
will take part in the elections
The DEGREES have been received with con-
ficting Impressions, but most Spaniards are
disposed to accept the change as dictated
by the necessities of the situation. Marshal
Martinez Campos warmly approves the de-
crees, and is willing to go to Cuba if nee
essary. General Azacarraga reserves his
opinion until he sees the effect of them
upon the rebellion. The Carlist organ. Ell

national treason The organ of the ex-
IRENE Conservatives, La Nacional, asks
whether the nation will tolerate such a
policy. Both these papers will be prose
cuted for their utterances.

Philadelphia Pres,

The American splitting habit is in process
of reform. The indecency of it is gradually
becoming more widely recognized. Rules
are made against it in many places and
they are occasionally enforced. A man in
this city was fined $40 the other day for
splitting on doorstep. The conductors and
motormen the Hartford (Conn) street
railway are forbidden to chew tobacco when
on duty. This rule should be adopted ev-
erywhere. A tobacco-chewing and splitting
motorman heading the breeze in an open
summer trolley car is an offense of the first
magnitude. The splitter should be sup
pressed, especially when he stands to wind
