A WIDOWS CLAIM TO PENSION.
No Limit TO the Time In which She May Ap
peni In Completing Her Husband'a Claim.

No Limit to the Time in which She May Ap-
peal In Completing Her Husband'a Claim.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Assistant Secretary
Webster Davis of the Interior Department
made an important ruling to-day regarding
widows claims to pension. The claim Of the
widow of William II. Hughes Of Ohio was re-
iected on the ground that she had no right to
file an appeal from the action taken in her hus-
bands claim prior to his death. because it was
not a pending claim at the date of his death.
In reversing this ruling Secretary Davis says:
"The right of the widow Of q soldier, who had
made a proper application to complete his
claim, has never | cen questioned; but she has
uniformly been denied the right to set up a new
claim in her deceased husbands case after his
death. In a soldiers claim in process of ad-
Indication when the claimant died, the widow
has been accorded the right to do anything In
the claim that her deceased husband could have
done had he been living. One OF these rights is
the right to appeal to the Secretary Of the In
terror from the rejection of the claim or from
the rate allowed. The soldier, IL living, would
have the right to appeal from the rejection Of
his claim at any time. In other words, there is
no Limitation as to the time Of filing an appeal
by an applicant for invalid pension. Tn law
provides that II a soldier 10 entitled to a pension
and has an application therefor pending. on his
death the, widow shall receive the pension he
would have received 10 tho time OF his DEATH
This ruling Is a distinct departure from the
usual course of the department and will affect
many thousand cases.

BIG GAME IN YELLOWSTONE PARK.
Secretary Bliss ConsideriuE Measures for Its
Preservation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Col. Young Of the
Army, superintendent Of the Ma
tional Park; Senator Carter OF Montana, and
Commissioner Herman Of the General Land
Office had a conference with Secretary Bliss to-
day about taking measures for preserving tho
big game in the Park. Asa result Of Col.
Young's representations. Secretary Bliss Will
ask Congress to add to the park q tract OF land
Immediately south of the forest reserve which
adjoins the park, in order to give u wider range
for the elk, buffalo, deer. and antelope. The
land in question is known as the Teton reserve,
and Is a large square tract. Some, years ago a
rectangular tract south of the park was made
a forest reserve. and in February, 1895. Presi-
dent Cleveland sot aside the entire Teton re-
serve, but the order was held up by Congress
and has never gone into effect.
In tho Teton reserve is u number or SAT-
ticks and small lakes and thousands OF acres OF
good feeding ground for the animals. About
this reservation are colonies OF pot hunters,
and they keep informed as to the movements
of the game. AS the Park regulations do not
hold good in the reserve, there 10 no law to pre-
vent the slaughter Of the game there except the
laws Of Wyoming. Secretary. Bliss desires
that a strip CT land extending through tho FOR
est reservation and taking in the entire Teton
reserve be added to the park. so that the ami
mails can be thoroughly protected in their yis'
It's to the salt ticks and grazing ground. Un.
less this can be done there is great danger OF
the determination of some OF the species now
numerous in the Park.

WARRINGTON, Dec. 16.-With the passage by
Congress of the resolution appropriating money
for sending relief to the starving miners in the
Klondike Secretary Alger this afternoon set
in motion the machinery of the War Depart
ment to carry the relief scheme Into effect. His
FIRST act was to send a telegram To the General
commanding the Department Of the Columbia.
at Vancouver. WASH, directing him to dispatch
two competent officers to Dyea or vicinity to
mako a reconnaissance and report In tho
earliest possible time all the information that
can be obtained about routes. and facilities for
reaching the Klondike country. They are to DO
instructed to determine what Is the best route,
whether cattle can be driven over the pass.
whether there are boats running to the Copper
River by which officers can 20 there. and such
further information as will be of service in
fitting out expeditions on a large scale. 1t Ia
not expected that these officers will go over the
pass. Secretary Alger thinks the General may
have tho information already. and much time
may BIO saved II this Is So.
supplies will be adhered TO. in all probability.

Knoxville's Building and Loan Associa-
tions Gradually Disappearing
Like Snow.

Knoxville, Tenn, Jan. 29.-The only
building and loan association in this city
now which is not in the hands of re-
ceiver, is the Peoples, and it Is not pure
ly building loan. but does a banking
business with the building and loan as d
side issue. Capt. A. Y. Burrows was to-
day named as receiver for the Citizens
Building and Loan association-the Citi-
zens' association doing business in Ten
nessee, Kentucky and Virginia The
cause given for the assignment was the
panic and failure to realize on real es
tate. The stockholders of the Knoxville
held meeting today and agreed to have
the temporary receiver made permanent
and that he be instructed to close up the
affairs of the association at once. This
is the oldest one in Knoxville, having
been organized in 1872.
A feature of the many failures which
has not been previously mentioned Is that
the association owe to the city of Knox
Vile over $4,000 taxes which must be paid
first of all.
The Government Building and Loan
association, which asked for receiver
yesterday has had w. A. Galbraith, depu-
ty clerk and master of the chancery court
named. This association will wind up
it's business at once.

WANTS A RECEIVER.

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 29.-The application
for a receiver for the Atlanta and West
Point Railroad company was taken IN
today for hearing. The defendant COM
road company, the Central of Georgia and
some interveners, opposed the appoint
ment of receiver. L. B. Nelson, the
stockholder who filed the suit for re-
ceiver, contends that the charter OF the
Atlanta and West Point company expired
last December and that the new charter
which was obtained was Illegal. There
fore he holds that the company Is dead
and that its affairs should be wound up
and its property sold and the proceeds
distributed among the stockholders. The
defense is that good, legal charter was
obtained from the legislature before the
expiration of the old charter and that
the company is not legally defunct. The
argument had only begun today when the
case was postponed until tomorrow.

PROSPECTS FLATTERING
For the Building of. the Augusta and
Chattanooga Railroad


Chattanooga Railroad.
Augusta, Ca, Jan. 29.-There is pros
pect of the Augusta and Chattanooga
railway being built. The Chronicle to-
morrow will publish a letter from ]. c.
Stanton, of Ballstonspa, N. Y, who built
the Alabama Great Southern railway, in
which he says: II have never known
such times to negotiate for a new road.
The Augusta and Chattanooga railroad,
think one of the most important rail-
roads to be built at present, and it is of
no use to fiatter the people that they
are going to get railroad until you ne
gotiate for money to build 1t.
'At last l have found party who will
take the securities and furnish the money
to complete the enterprise. They are
to send their own man there to see If
the statements which 1 have made are
true 1 have no fears but what we will
find it as I have stated. 1 am in hopes
he will be ready to go with me south
the latter part of this week. I will take
my engineer with me-"
The building of the Augusta and Chat
tanooga would be one of the greatest
things that could happen for Augusta
and to the state. 1t would open up mag
nificent territory to this city, put it in
closer touch with the great coal and
iron fields of Alabama and Tennessee and
make Augusta the gateway of the west
to the sea, saving the great agricultural
interests of the west thousands of miles
between their trade centers and foreign
countries.

CORN AND CHEMICALS.
Said to Have Supplanted Barley and
Malt in Beer Making.


Malt in Beer Making.
st. Louis, Jan. pa dispatch from
Milwaukee says: The tremendous drop
in the barley malt product has stirred up
the matters and they evince a disposi-
tion to make some interesting disclosures.
They freely declare that in many brew
cries barrel of beer is being made with
the use of but half bushel of barley
malt, while the German standard for pure
beer is three bushels. The claim is as
freely made that corn and chemicals have
practically supplanted barley in the pro-
duction of the beverage of the world.
When the attention of Mr.. Aug. A.
Busch, vice-president of the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing association, was called to
the above article, he expressed no sur
prisse in seeing the dispatch from Mil
waukee, calling attention to the tre-
mendous drop in the barley malt product,
but wondered why more had not been
said in public print with reference to the
matter. Continuing, he said: I'VE do
not now, nor have we ever, used corn in
the production of any of our beers, and
we have always contended that first-class
beer cannot be made by using corn as a
substitute for barley malt
